In the Happy Alley, sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The young man Wang Er pushed the cart and carefully delivered it back to the home of Mrs. Tao Qing next door. Mrs. Tao took the cart with a smile and handed Wang Er fifty copper coins as wages. After Wang Er thanked her gratefully, he turned around and left impatiently.

Wang Er trotted all the way back home. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his father squatting on the ground, washing vegetable leaves carefully.

He hurried over to help wash the vegetables, and while washing, he told Old Man Wang everything he had learned about the Su family, and emphasized that Mr. Su's sister was born with a weak body.

He had heard his father mention that this prescription was secretly given to his father by the old military doctor who had saved his life when his father was discharged from the barracks due to injury. Normally, this prescription was extremely precious to his father. He came back today with the intention of giving this prescription to Master Su.

After saying this, Wang Er paused, his eyes flashing with anticipation, and looked at his father cautiously, "Dad, doesn't our family have a prescription? I was thinking... could it be given to Young Master Su's family? Maybe it can help them." He said softly, while nervously observing his father's reaction.

He saw that his father didn't look angry, so he didn't say anything.

Wang Er began to cautiously test again: "Dad, do you think it is feasible to give this prescription that can make up for the congenital deficiency to Mr. Su?"

As soon as his son raised his buttocks, his father knew he was about to fart. Old Man Wang had just been busy with other things. He laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, you are testing your father. This prescription can be used by your benefactor, and it can also save your benefactor's sister. Of course, your father has no objection.

“It’s just…” Old Man Wang said hesitantly.

Wang Er said anxiously: "Just what? Dad, please tell me quickly!"

Old Man Wang just thought of what the military doctor had said before, and he sighed again, "But there are two very precious and rare herbs in this prescription that are found in the far north. I heard they are extremely difficult to find. Without them, this prescription is just an ordinary prescription for nourishing qi and blood."

Wang Er was originally very nervous about his father's disagreement with his suggestion, but when he heard that this was what his father was worried about, his fair and handsome face relaxed instantly, and he said, "Dad, I don't think this is a big deal.

Since Master Su's family can afford to employ maids and servants, it shows that he is well-off. Such a family can naturally find these precious medicinal herbs, so this should not be a big problem."

So the father and son agreed to bring the prescription tomorrow, buy some fresh cakes from a shop on the street, and then visit the family together.

On the other side, Su Yu and the other two arrived at Chenjia Village and headed straight towards Chen Luochu's house. Su Yu instructed the servant Xie An and the little girl Xie Nanxing to take the prepared gifts.

Su Yu walked in front with big strides, while the brother and sister followed closely behind, carrying large and small bags.

The door of the Chen family was open today, and Su Yu saw Chen Luochu sitting at the wooden table in the yard, studying hard.

The young man immersed in books was completely different from the introverted and shy image that Su Yu usually saw. His thin body exuded a strong bookish atmosphere, and he was reciting "The Great Learning" which Su Yu had recently studied.

Su Yu gently knocked on the wooden door beside him. Following the slight sound, Chen Luochu raised his head curiously and cast his eyes towards the source of the sound. When he saw Su Yu standing at the door, his face immediately showed joy. He excitedly put down his book, stood up and said excitedly: "Mr. Su, why are you here today?"

Su Yu walked into the yard with a smile and asked in a somewhat joking tone: "Brother Luo Chu, don't you welcome me?"

Sure enough, Su Yu saw the honest man opposite him suddenly blush, looking very uneasy, and even began to stutter: "Mr. Su, I... welcome you very much, very much."

The little girl Xie Nanxing stood aside, looking at the slightly embarrassed scholar being teased by her master, and couldn't help but find it funny, but she still tried hard to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

At this time, Old Mrs. Jiang, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise coming from outside, so she stopped what she was doing and slowly walked out of the kitchen with her crutches.

When her cloudy eyes saw that the person coming was Su Yu, they suddenly brightened up and said with joy on her face, "Mr. Su is here! Is there anything important that brought you here today?"

As she spoke, she looked at the sky again and continued, "It's time for lunch. Why don't we have something to eat together here?"

Every time Su Yu saw this hospitable old lady, he would feel a sense of intimacy in his heart. Old Lady Jiang gave him the feeling that she was his grandmother in his previous life, which made him feel very warm.

Thinking of this, Su Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a naughty smile, "Yes, it is a very important matter." Su Yu deliberately slowed down his speech speed and paused for a few seconds.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her curiosity was aroused. She pricked up her ears and listened attentively to Su Yu's subsequent words.

Chen Luochu was also very curious about Master Su's purpose today. He wondered if he was here to dig for stones again. But looking at the maids and servants behind Master Su, who were carrying a lot of things in their hands, he wondered if he was here to thank the villagers.

Xie An and Xie Nanxing stood aside. They originally thought that their master would say some words to thank the villagers for saving their lives.

However, to their surprise, Su Yu suddenly smiled brilliantly, and he joked: "Coming to see you, old lady, is of course a very important matter. I miss you so much that it feels like a long time since I last saw you." As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Old Lady Jiang to show his respect.

Su Yu's witty remarks and actions made Old Lady Jiang laugh so hard that she couldn't stop. She thought to herself that this Young Master Su was really different from her grandson. He was humble and polite, and his temperament was more lively and interesting than her grandson's.

This kind of Su Yu made Old Lady Jiang like him even more, and she thought he was a rare good boy.

After hearing what Su Yu said, Chen Luochu's face was filled with astonishment. He always thought that Mr. Su was very smart, and analyzed problems rationally and calmly. He even helped him out of a very embarrassing situation. He never expected that Mr. Su had such a lively side.

Xie An and Xie Nanxing were also surprised that their master would say such words to amuse the old man and make him happy.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Su Yu lovingly, and she said kindly: "Mr. Su, Xie An, Nan Xing, you all take a seat first."

Then, Old Lady Jiang patted her grandson on the shoulder and said directly: "Luo Chu, quickly serve tea to Mr. Su and the others."

Chen Luochu looked at the enthusiastic look in his grandmother's eyes when she looked at Su Yu, and muttered in his heart, Grandma, am I still your grandson?

Su Yu had started to become somewhat familiar with the Chen family. He smiled and said to Old Mrs. Jiang: "Madam, I'll pour it myself. It will be more comfortable this way."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Jiang was even happier. She smiled so hard that a few more crow's feet appeared around her eyes. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, from now on, Mr. Su, you can treat this place as your own home. There is no need to be so polite."

Su Yu also said with a smile: "This is what you said yourself, old lady, so I will listen to it seriously. From now on, this will be my second home!"

As he spoke, he ordered Xie An and Nan Xing behind him: "You two, quickly carry all the things into our own kitchen."

"Yes!" Xie An and Nan Xing answered in unison, and then quickly carried all the rice, flour and other items into the kitchen.

At this time, the old lady noticed that the young man and the little girl following Su Yu were carrying a lot of things in their hands. She was about to speak up to stop them and tell them that they didn't need to bring any gifts.

However, before she could say anything, Su Yu said with a look of grievance: "Old Madam, since this is my future home, what's the problem with me bringing some food with me? Don't you welcome me to your home for dinner?"

Old Madam Jiang was completely amused by this clever young man today, but she could only helplessly reply, "Welcome, of course you're welcome."

After receiving a positive answer, Su Yu showed a bright smile on his face, and then followed the old lady into the kitchen. As soon as he entered, he picked up the bowl and teapot very familiarly, started pouring water, and considerately poured a bowl of water for each of Xie An's brothers and sisters.

Xie An and Xie Nanxing naturally didn't dare to let their master serve them tea. After their master came out, they went in and got some water to drink.

Old Madam Jiang was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen again. Xie An and Xie Nanxing stood by, ready to see if they could help in any way.

Su Yu walked to the table and looked at the scholar in front of him. His eyes were firm and serious. He said, "Brother Luo Chu, to be honest, I came here with some gifts to thank you and the villagers for saving my life last time. I would like to ask you to take me down to thank them one by one."

Chen Luochu thought to himself, as expected, his previous guess was not wrong.

So he immediately said, "No problem, it's all a small matter."

Hearing Chen Luochu's words, Su Yu showed a hint of joy on his face.

Then he continued, "I also hope to meet the village chief of Chenjia Village and discuss some matters with him. Could Brother Luo Chu help introduce me to him?"

Chen Luochu thought that Su Yu just wanted to pay a simple visit to the village chief, so he agreed without hesitation: "Of course, Mr. Su, we will go there now."

Su Yu felt that the scholar in front of him had dealt with him several times and still called him Mr. Su. He said: "Brother Luo Chu, I am a few years younger than you. Why don't you call me Su Yu from now on."

Chen Luochu said: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. Mr. Su is my benefactor. Why don't I just call you Brother Su."

Su Yu curled his lips helplessly and said, "Okay", that's fine.

The two of them took some gifts they had prepared in advance from the carriage and set off.
