Su Jidong thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll go then. However, the people in the village might not listen to me. You all know our family’s status in the village.”
After all, people listen more to the one’s with power. Moreover, he was not someone with prestige in the village. Those people might not listen to him and might even think that he was exaggerating.
Su Li said, “It’s alright. As long as they see those people’s miserable state, they will know how serious this matter is. If they really don’t listen to our advice, there’s nothing we can do!”
As long as the villagers saw a normal person become like that with their own eyes, they would probably be so frightened that they would not even dare to want the bucket of water.
If there was really such a stubborn person, there was nothing she could do. She could only do her best and leave it to fate. She did not have the antidote now, and it was unknown when she could develop it. The best thing now was to protect herself.
Jiao Yuying rubbed her arms. “Alright, hurry up and go. Don’t everyone be poisoned.”
Hearing that symptom made her feel terrified, so she hoped that the people in the village would not become like that. After living for decades, this was the first time she had heard of someone poisoning the water.
Su Jidong took a pole and said, “I’ll go now. No one should be fetching water at this time.”
With this pole, if someone wanted to hit him, he could at least withstand it. Su Li stood in front of him and said, “Father, I’ll go with you.” If she did not go, she was afraid that Su Jidong would not understand.
“I’m coming too!” Su Ze says.
He definitely had to go for such a big matter. If someone really poisoned the water, then this matter was too complicated. He did not know what kind of vicious person it was. Since they had poisoned the well in their village, after capturing those people, he had to beat them up ruthlessly and let them know the consequences of doing so.
He Yufeng also stood silently behind Su Li, what he meant was self-evident.
He glanced at the cyan color under Su Li’s nose. Or had Su Li not slept at all last night? Had she been busy catching the person who poisoned the well?
Otherwise, how could she be so clear about the ins and outs of this matter? It couldn’t be that she went out for a walk early in the morning and met him!
Besides, those people were not fools. If they wanted to poison someone, they would not have done it so early in the morning.
Su Li felt a little creeped out by He Yufeng’s gaze. She turned around and asked,
“Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?”
He Yufeng stared at the green color of her eyelids and said, “You didn’t sleep well last night?”
Su Li touched her face and said, “Maybe I was frightened by those thieves last night!”
He Yufeng didn’t believe a word Su Li said. He still hadn’t forgotten her valiant figure last night. If she could be frightened, the sun would rise from the west.
However, He Yufeng did not expose her. He said gently, “Then go back to your room and sleep. I’ll go with Father and the others!”
Su Li yawned and shook her head. “I’m not tired. I have to follow you. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain the situation!”
He Yufeng was speechless. Why couldn’t the three of them explain the situation?
Su Ze nodded and echoed, “Yes, Sister, you’re right. If you don’t go with us, I feel like I don’t have a backbone anymore, so you should follow us!”
For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Su Li was very reliable. As long as she was by his side, he felt extremely at ease.
Su Jidong slapped Su Ze. “You brat, you’re useless as an adult.”
Su Ze pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. “I’m telling the truth. If you were useful, would I need to rely on my sister?”
Su Jidong choked. What an unfilial son. He had to retort no matter what.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu heard the voices outside and got out of bed with their clothes on. They ran out while rubbing their eyes and shouting.
“Mother, where are you going? Bring us along!”
Father, Mother, and the others must have wanted to run out and play. They secretly left them behind while they were asleep. When they woke up, everyone was gone. In the past, Father had secretly gone to the mountains to hunt while they were asleep. When they woke up, they could not even find him.
Su Li gently helped them tidy their clothes. “Something happened in the village. We have to go over and take a look. Just wait for us at home obediently.”
When He Qingmu heard that it was going to be lively, he said excitedly,
“Mother, just bring us there. We promise not to cause trouble.”
He Qingyao also nodded and said, “I’ll take good care of my younger brother. I definitely won’t let him cause trouble.”
He Qingmu pouted unhappily. “Brother, you’re spouting nonsense. When did I cause trouble?”
He Qingyao said in all seriousness, “When did you not cause trouble? Didn’t I clean up your mess that time?”
He Qingmu snorted to express his dissatisfaction, but he did not say anything else.
He Yufeng patted their heads and said, “Those places are not suitable for you children. Stay at home with Grandma. I’ll get Grandma to cook noodles for you later.”
Jiao Yuying added, “I’ll make you steamed eggs later!”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu did not give up and looked at Su Jidong. Their grandfather had always doted on them. They should be able to fulfill such a small request, right?
Jiao Yuying glared at Su Jidong.
Su Jidong rubbed his nose. Both his daughter and son-in-law did not allow them to follow. And now that his wife was still threatening him from the side, would he dare to nod and agree? Unless he did not want to live anymore!
“Ahem, you should stay at home obediently!”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu were still a little unwilling, but no one was willing to bring them along. They could only stay at home with Jiao Yuying.
“Father, let’s go quickly!” Su Li said.
If they didn’t leave now, it might be too late!
Su Jidong nodded. “Alright!”
Before leaving, Su Ze turned around and ran into the house.
Su Li asked curiously, “Su Ze, where are you going?”
Why did the person who was anxious just now run back to the house now that they were about to set off?
“I’ll get something,” Su Ze’s voice says into the house.
Su Jidong said, “Alright, ignore him. Let him take his time!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ze ran out of the house with an iron rod in his hand.
Su Li looked at his iron rod in surprise and asked, “What are you doing with the iron rod?”
Su Ze grinned and said, “I was afraid that the villagers would be unreasonable and hurt you, so I made preparations in advance. As long as they dare to mess around, the rod in my hand is not to be trifled with!”
Su Li was speechless.
They were there to stop the villagers, not to fight with them!
If the villagers were really unhappy and had the intention to attack, she would not care about them. They could do whatever they wanted.. If they became like that, she would not be able to save them!
