Chapter 143 Li Gou'er's Transformation
Grandma tugged at his sleeve with difficulty, then shook her head.
"Doggy, don't waste your energy, Grandma knows her time is running out..."
"Promise Grandma that you'll be a good person from now on, find a decent job, and stop making Grandma worry about you after she's gone, okay?"
Li Gou'er nodded heavily, choking back tears, "Grandma, I promise you, I will change! You must get better!"
Grandma smiled with relief, but her hand eventually fell slowly to her sides.
Upon seeing this, Li Gou'er threw himself on his grandmother and burst into tears, his cries filled with regret and reluctance.
We need money to buy a coffin to handle Grandma's funeral arrangements.
Li Gou'er searched through all the chests and cabinets in his house, but only found a few strings of copper coins, which was far from enough.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the room.
Left with no other choice, he had to ask Su Li for money.
Standing at the door of Su Li's house, he lowered his head, his hands constantly clutching the hem of his clothes, his lips trembling as he murmured, "Su... Su Li, I... I want to borrow some money from you."
It took him a long time to muster the courage to speak.
He thought Su Li would criticize him for not working hard enough, but Su Li didn't say a word and directly handed him five taels of silver.
"This is your advance payment. Don't worry about paying it back right away. I'll deduct it from your wages gradually."
Li Gou'er looked at the gleaming silver, then glanced at Su Li's calm expression. His eyes instantly reddened, and his lips trembled slightly.
"I...I was too reckless before, I..."
He raised his hand several times, wanting to take the silver, but then pulled it back.
Finally, he suddenly roared, covered his face with his hands, turned around and ran home desperately, his back view full of pain and shame.
When he got home, he discovered that Su Li had secretly tied the silver to his belt.
He stroked the five taels of silver, tears blurring his vision once more.
This time, he secretly vowed to change himself and not let Su Li down.
Amidst the mourning of the Li family, Grandma was laid to rest.
After handling his grandmother's funeral arrangements, Li Gou'er was like a wilted eggplant, listless and unable to muster any energy.
Although he wanted to make a change, he didn't know where to start and was filled with confusion.
Actually, he didn't intentionally shortchange people or buy rotten vegetables. He just didn't really understand the scale markings and was too embarrassed to say so, so he just made do with whatever he could.
And then there's the fish. At home, his grandmother and mother always did the kitchen work, so he couldn't tell the difference between fresh fish and rotten fish. Anyway, it always smelled fishy...
Su Li noticed Li Gou'er's change and said earnestly, "Since you are willing to do it, I will help you. Let's start by taking every detail of harvesting vegetables seriously. Come on, let's first learn the markings on the scale."
Li Gou'er looked at Su Li in disbelief, feeling his heart tremble. He thought to himself: How did she know that he couldn't distinguish the markings on the scale?
Su Li rolled her eyes at him: "Alright, what are you standing there for? Don't waste time."
"Oh okay, I know."
Under Su Li's patient guidance, Li Gou'er gradually mastered the skill of reading scales and was able to distinguish the quality of vegetables.
He was practically a natural at communicating with the villagers.
After all, he usually liked to loaf around in the village and had dealt with every household.
Now he's like a different person. He arrives at the vegetable field before dawn every day, carefully selects vegetables, weighs them accurately, and patiently explains the vegetable standards to the villagers.
The villagers were deeply moved by the changes in Li Gou'er.
"Look at Li Gou'er, he's changed so much! He used to be useless at everything, but now he does things quite well."
"It must have been trained by Su Li. She's so good at doing business at the docks, training Li Gou'er is a piece of cake for her. It's like using brine to curdle tofu, one thing can subdue another."
"This is great. The village has one less idle loafer, and the atmosphere of the whole village has been completely renewed."
That evening, Li Gou'er returned home, so exhausted that he collapsed into a chair, unable to get up.
Without a word, Widow Li brought the food over and placed it in front of him, saying softly, "Alright, Gou'er, eat quickly. After you finish eating, take a bath; you're covered in sweat and stink. Mother is going to boil some water."
Li Gou'er scratched his head, took a couple of breaths, sat up, walked to the table, and began to eat heartily.
The steam from the food blurred his vision. Suddenly, he stopped eating and said to his mother, who was busy at the stove:
"Mom, everyone praised the vegetables I harvested today, saying I've improved."
Widow Li turned around, her eyes full of relief: "Good, Mother has been hoping that you can continue to be so down-to-earth. Life will definitely get better and better in the future."
Li Gou'er nodded vigorously and then buried his head in his rice.
……
The moment Su Zhen received the letter from the Ninth Prince, her face flushed with excitement, she clutched the letter tightly in her hands, and her voice trembled slightly with emotion:
"Father, Mother, this is a letter from that young master. Not only is he alright, but he has also invited us to the prefectural city. Our hard times are finally over!"
After a period of recuperation, Su Zhen's energy and spirit were not as good as before, but she was finally able to stand up and walk around the house.
Su Zhen had assumed that the young master was alone in the mountains and had already met with misfortune, but to her surprise, she received a letter from him, which greatly lifted her spirits.
Uncle Su rushed over upon hearing the commotion. After taking the letter and reading it, the wrinkles on his face instantly blossomed into a wide smile. He kept saying, "Heaven has eyes! Our family's luck is about to change!"
The family was overjoyed and began to discuss the many things to do in the capital city.
The news quickly spread throughout the Su family.
Grandpa Su sat in the armchair in the main room, listening to his second uncle's excited story. Instead of showing any joy, his brows furrowed even more.
He recalled the foolish things his second uncle had done before, and now, faced with this sudden invitation from a "distinguished person," he was truly worried.
Grandpa Su sighed deeply: "Second son, you've always been impulsive and never consider the consequences. This young master is of noble status, and there's a huge gap between our statuses. Could there be some kind of trap behind his sudden invitation?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Su's smile instantly froze, and he hurriedly explained, "Dad, you're overthinking it! Since we saved his life, it's only out of gratitude that we're doing this. How could there be a trap?"
The old man remained unmoved, his sharp gaze fixed on Su Erbo: "You can't judge a book by its cover. Don't let wealth blind you. If you act recklessly in the prefectural city this time, our family is finished!"
Uncle Su lowered his head after being told this, and muttered softly, "I understand, Dad. I will definitely be careful this time."
The uncle's family listened from the side, their hearts filled with jealousy.
Uncle Su snorted and complained to Zhou Shi in a low voice, "Hmph, why does the second son's family have such good luck? They get all the good things!"
Zhou curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Who knows, it might be a disaster! If they go to the prefectural city and make a fool of themselves, let's see how smug they'll be then!"
Despite their complaints, the two understood that this was a good opportunity to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and secretly plotted how to go to the prefectural city to make some money.
Just as the family was happily preparing to go to the prefectural city, Madam Ma pulled Su Zhen aside, her expression grave.
"Zhen'er, we can't go."
Su Zhen looked confused and asked anxiously, "Mother, why? This is a rare opportunity! We can finally live a good life!"
