Chapter 145: Make plans early
The two of them held back from each other, unable to fathom each other's thoughts.
Su Li looked at Pei Xiao, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
“I know you must have many questions in your mind, and I have many questions about you as well. But you should know that all I want is to save the lives of my family. I don’t want to get involved in anything else.”
"If you really want to know about Su Zhen and me, then go back and think about what you've been hiding from me... Can you tell me the truth? Come back to me when you've figured it out."
After saying that, Su Li turned and left.
Yes, she had reservations about Pei Xiao.
Su Li was unsure whether getting involved with him would bring more trouble to her family.
However, Pei Xiao's younger sister, Pei Lanxin, witnessed Pei Xiao's actions and those of Su Li.
She felt that her brother cared too much about Su Li.
Last time, my brother was whipped and suffered such severe injuries and bled a lot because he disobeyed orders to help Su Li gather information.
Right now, the two of them have been talking about something else. If Su Li makes any more unreasonable requests, her brother...
Pei Lanxin became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.
At that moment, it was as if a kerosene lamp had been overturned in her heart, and it quickly ignited into a raging fire.
She secretly vowed to find a chance to teach Su Li a lesson and make her stay far away from her brother so that she would stop causing him trouble!
……
That night, when all was quiet.
Su Li avoided her uncles' houses and only called her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and younger brother to her room.
She closed the door and solemnly dragged a heavy box out from under the bed. When she opened it, it was full of gleaming silver, which shimmered alluringly in the dim light.
Everyone gasped and looked at each other in disbelief.
Mrs. Hu opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Father, Mother, now that we've made some money, I plan to buy some property for our family. The situation is turbulent right now, and war could break out any day, so we need to prepare early."
Su Li said in a low voice.
Su Qingfeng stiffened slightly, his brows furrowed, and his tone was hesitant: "Li'er, our family has secretly saved so much money... I'm not entirely at ease with it. Shouldn't we also..."
Before he could finish speaking, he nervously rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with conflict.
Upon hearing this, Su Li frowned slightly, her tone urgent yet restrained:
“Dad, I pay the money to the public fund on time every month, and I haven’t neglected my filial duties. The situation is unstable now, and we are just taking precautions. If we tell Grandpa and Grandma, it will only cause them more trouble, so it’s better to keep it to ourselves for now.”
Su Qingfeng was speechless at his daughter's words. He moved his lips but ultimately said nothing more. He just sighed helplessly and lowered his head slightly.
Madam Hu quickly stood up from the side, slowly walked to Su Li's side, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered:
“Li’er is right. In this chaotic world, the most important thing is to ensure our own safety.”
Su Xiangsheng, standing to the side, had bright, sparkling eyes and a flushed face. He gently stood up from his stool, waving his arms and whispering:
"Sis, I support you! We need to think this over carefully."
At this moment, Su Xiangyang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about we buy a small courtyard in town? It's close to the village, we're familiar with it, and it'll be convenient for us to come and go in the future."
Mrs. He shook her head:
"Your idea is quite practical, but if a war really breaks out, the dock might be dangerous. Besides, the town is low-lying, so if there's a flood, it could be a real problem. I've heard that areas near the mountains are relatively safer, so should we consider those areas as well?"
Su Xiangsheng blinked.
"It's better to buy it in the prefectural city! There are more people there, making it much easier to do business. Plus, with soldiers guarding the city, those rebel soldiers and bandits won't dare to attack easily, making it much safer. In the future, I can also go to school and maybe even pass the imperial examinations like my older cousin, bringing honor to our ancestors!"
Su Xiangyang listened and nodded slightly:
“Indeed, the city has a thriving commercial sector, so there will be many opportunities if the family wants to do some business in the future. Even if we don’t do business, it’s still more convenient and readily available to buy daily necessities than in the village or town.”
He also agreed:
"Yes, and the city walls of the prefecture are tall and thick, so the defenses are definitely stronger than in our small place. If war breaks out, we'll feel more at ease hiding in the city."
After listening to her family's analysis and considering it in her mind, Su Li felt that buying a house in the prefectural city was indeed the best choice at the moment, so she said:
"Since everyone thinks the prefectural city is suitable, let's get started and find a good house there as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The family looked at each other, smiled, and thus reached a consensus to buy a house in the prefectural city.
A few days later, Su Li, accompanied by Su Xiangyang, went to the prefectural city.
The carriage swayed and rocked its way toward the prefectural city.
Inside the car, Su Li sat next to her older brother, her emotions churning like a stormy sea.
She glanced at her elder brother several times, her lips slightly parted as if she had a thousand words to say, but she swallowed them all back.
Su Xiangyang noticed his sister's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Li'er, you've been restless ever since we set off. Are you feeling unwell? Or is something on your mind? You can tell your older brother."
Su Li took a deep breath and decided not to hide it anymore. She hesitated before speaking, "Big brother, there are some things I've been keeping to myself for a long time. I don't know if I should say them or not... I'm afraid that if I say them, you'll think I'm talking nonsense."
Su Xiangyang patted Su Li's hand and said gently, "Silly girl, you are my own sister. What can't you tell your big brother? No matter what you say, your big brother will believe you."
Su Li bit her lip and mustered her courage to tentatively tell her older brother about her rebirth and her past life.
She thought her older brother would find it hard to believe, or even laugh at her for being absurd, but to her surprise, he didn't doubt her at all and immediately chose to believe her.
Su Xiangyang looked at Su Li, his eyes filled with heartache and self-blame, "Li'er, you...you actually endured so much all by yourself. Your older brother is really useless, I didn't even know you were hiding so much suffering in your heart."
He never imagined that his sister was carrying so many secrets and pain.
Seeing that her elder brother had no doubts, Su Li felt a surge of warmth in her heart. "Brother, I'm telling you this not to complain, but to help our family avoid the disasters of our past life."
Su Xiangyang nodded gently, his face serious: "Li'er, don't worry, from now on, your older brother will definitely take on more responsibility for the family affairs and will never let you face these things alone again."
Once Su Li had calmed down a bit, he asked:
"However, you do know more than I do. In your opinion, what should we do next?"
