Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Declining Cheng Yufeng and Wang Jianfa's offer to take him home, Su Mu, carrying his slightly worn schoolbag and filled with anticipation for the future, headed towards home.

When Su Mu got home, his mother saw that he had come back so late. Although she knew that Su Mu was often kept after school by his teachers, she still couldn't help but ask him about it.

"Why are you so late today? Did the teacher keep you after school again?"

Su Mu was taken aback. Hearing the worry in his mother's voice, he felt a pang of sadness.

In his previous life, during junior high school, he was often kept after school by his teachers. The reason was simply that he was a transfer student from a rural area. In the eyes of teachers, rural children did not have outstanding grades. Moreover, Su Mu was also a quiet person in his previous life and would not answer the teacher's questions, so he was even more disliked by the teachers, and being kept after school was a common occurrence.

Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Although his memories of his previous life were somewhat blurry, he vaguely remembered that every time he was kept after school, his mother would ask him the same question. Even though she knew he was kept after school, she couldn't help but ask him with concern. Perhaps... she hoped that one day he would be able to come home late not because he was kept after school, but because of something else.

He sighed softly in his heart, the excitement of having a huge sum of money was somewhat dampened, and he only thought that in this life, no matter what, he would make sure that his parents would live a peaceful and worry-free life.

She changed into slippers and headed towards the kitchen, saying as she went, "I can't always be kept after school by the teacher. Today I went shopping with my classmates, so I got home a little late. I won't do it again next time, hehe."

After saying that, she gave Su's mother a playful smile.

"Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that her daughter wasn't staying late because of being kept after school, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little happy. Since her daughter had been seriously ill a few days ago, she had become much more cheerful and no longer stayed at home all day like before. She would go shopping with her friends when she had free time. As parents, we are naturally gratified that our daughter is getting better and better.

She said in a light tone, "It's fine to play with your classmates, just don't come home so late next time. Go out now, I can handle it myself. The kitchen is small to begin with, why are you squeezing in?! You must be tired after a day of classes, go wash your face, and after you finish eating, go and bring your dad some food."

Seeing that his mother had almost finished cooking, and that there was nothing else he could do in the kitchen, Su Mu simply nodded and went out.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Su Mu took the food that his mother had packed and went out, heading towards where his father was working.

Su's father had studied in the village for a few years, at least graduating from junior high school. However, during the summer before Su Mu was about to start high school, Su Mu's grandfather passed away in an accident. Suddenly, there was no man in the family to support them. Su's grandmother, Su's father, Su Mu's uncle and aunt, the family of four were already struggling financially. With three children in school, Su's grandmother thought she couldn't support one child while neglecting another, lest the children resent her when they grew up. So, Su's grandmother simply didn't support any of them, and Su's father was unable to go to high school.

Grandpa Su passed away early. Although his former friends helped him a bit, none of them were particularly successful, so it wasn't of much use. As for Dad Su, although he was somewhat educated and graduating from junior high school was quite rare in this era, finding a good job without connections was simply unrealistic.

It wasn't until Su's mother married into the family that Su's father wanted her to have a better life. So, when Su Mu was five years old and able to take care of himself, the whole family came to the city to work hard. However, after all these years, Su's father is still just a small construction worker. In this era, having ability but no connections is all you have.

To prevent the food from getting cold, Su Mu quickened his pace along the way, covering a distance that would normally take half an hour in just over ten minutes.

As I approached the construction site, I could hear a noisy commotion coming from inside.
