Chapter 62: A Plan

Old Zhao said, “That mother-in-law of yours is too much. Did she smash your bowls too? I saw her throwing debris into the river just now. I don’t need to think to know that she’s destroying the evidence.”
There was no need for Su Li to say anything. Old Zhao had already imagined everything.
Su Li’s eyes flashed. She lowered her head and said, “My family’s pot was smashed too!”
Old Zhao slapped his thigh and said, “That is too much…”
After chatting with Old Zhao for a while, Su Li told him everything she wanted to express. Then, she found an excuse and left.
Old Master Zhao looked at Su Li’s departing back and said, “I used to think that she was rude and insensible, but now it seems that she’s too sensible and thus gets bullied.”
Su Li did not know that Old Zhao had already labeled her as a “victim”.
Su Li stood not far away and looked at the brick house in the old residence. She had an inexplicable expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, He Qingyao and his brother caught up.
He Qingyao looked up at Su Li and said, “Mother, can you not go to the old residence?”
“Why?” Su Li asked.
He Qingyao was in low spirits. “Grandma is very fierce. You’ll definitely be bullied if you go.”
Su Li chuckled. They were worried that she would be bullied!
“Don’t be afraid. Your mother is very powerful. Your grandmother can’t bully me.”
He Qingmu said worriedly, “B-but other than Grandma, there are many others. Two fists can’t fight four hands. No matter how powerful Mother is, she can’t defeat so many people!”
He Qingyao said, “That’s right, Mother. We didn’t get hurt this time. Why don’t we forget about it?”
Seeing the fear on their faces, Su Li was even more determined to get back at them.
In the past, they were often bullied, which resulted in the two little guys’ current personalities. In the long term, there would definitely be problems.
Su Li did not walk straight to the old residence. Instead, she held He Qingyao and He Qingmu’s hands and turned a corner, walking towards the village chief’s house.
Other than venting her anger, it was too difficult for her to get anything substantial from the He family’s old residence. If she could get the village chief to resolve this matter, not only would she anger those people in the old residence to death, but she would also skin them alive.
What she wanted was for Wang Chunhua and the others to remember that they had to pay the price for provoking her.
Although the village chief’s house was not a brick house, it was still one of the top families in the village.
Most of the people in the He Family Village had the surname He. The outsiders had fled to the wilderness to seek refuge in the past. Their ancestors were not from the He Family Village, so there was an unspoken rule that the village chief of the He Family Village had to have the surname He.
The current village chief of the He Family Village, He Yuan, was a more reasonable person, so she was not worried that he would be prejudiced against her because of the host’s bad deeds.
“Ah! Mother of Dahu, why are you here?” The village chief’s wife, Zhou Yu, was carrying a bucket of pig food to feed the pigs. Just as she walked to the kitchen door, she saw Su Li.
Su Li lowered her head and adjusted her emotions in her heart. As she lowered her head, no one could see the expression on her face. When she looked up again, her face was already filled with worry.
“Auntie, is the village chief at home? I want to talk to him about something.”
Zhou Yu said truthfully, “He just went out and isn’t at home. He’ll probably be back for a while.’
Su Li said disappointedly, “Then let’s wait for him here.”
Seeing that Su Li’s face was filled with worry, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? What happened? Tell me first.’
Su Li shook her head and sighed, looking like she found it difficult to speak.
Her actions aroused Zhou Yu’s curiosity even more. “Quickly tell Auntie what happened? Did your husband bully you?”
Although this was unlikely, there was only a possibility of He Yufeng bullying his wife if the sun rose from the west today. One would be thankful if Su Li did not bully He Yufeng!
Su Li pulled Zhou Yu and said, “Auntie, the three, mother and sons of us really can’t live anymore. This life was originally difficult, but now, it’s even more difficult. We don’t even know how to have dinner today!”
Zhou Yu frowned. What did this mean?
Could it be that the family was running out of food and was planning to come to her house to freeload?
That wouldn’t do. Her family didn’t have any extra food for others to eat.
Zhou Yu was about to use an excuse to send Su Li away when she heard Su Li speak again.
“It’s almost winter. There won’t be as many prey as there are now. Aunt, you know that we have to give the old residence seven taels a month. He Yufeng wants to take advantage of the current season to quickly catch some prey. This way, we won’t have to worry even if it’s winter.”
Zhou Yu nodded. He Yufeng was a well-planned person. Unfortunately, he had married an unreliable wife!
Su Li sighed again and said, “Who knew that the heavens wouldn’t do as we wished? No matter how much we schemed, we couldn’t compare to the heavens. Why is it that the hemp rope always chooses to cut off the details? Trouble only looks for people who are unlucky!”
When Zhou Yu heard this, she knew that there was a story behind it. She asked,
“What exactly happened?”
Seeing that she had successfully planted the emotions, Su Li said, “Two days ago, He Yufeng encountered a group of wild boars in the depths of the mountains. Although he was strong and had been to the battlefield, how could he defeat a group of wild boars alone? In the end, he was knocked down the valley by the wild boars!”
Zhou Yu was a little surprised when she heard Su Li’s words. She really didn’t know that He Yufeng was injured from hunting. She had just returned from her mother’s place and the village gossip hadn’t reached her ears yet.
Otherwise, with her status as the village chief’s wife, she would have heard all the gossip in the village.
Zhou Yu looked at Su Li with sympathy. “How is He Yufeng now? Did you get a doctor to take a look?”
If He Yufeng collapsed, their family would basically be finished.
Su Li was not her neighbor, Chen Xiang. If Su Li had to work hard to support her family, she would probably run away faster than a rabbit.
Su Li did not know what Zhou Yu was thinking and continued her performance. “He Yufeng’s injuries were very serious. When I found him, he was already unconscious. I spent a lot of effort trying to pull him back.”
“But he can’t move at will. If he moves at will, I’m afraid..
Su Li did not complete the rest of the sentence. She let Zhou Yu imagine it herself. She just had to stop when she had to.
“It’s that serious?” Zhou Yu frowned.
After hearing Su Li’s description, she felt that He Yufeng might not be able to live anymore. He might even die soon.
Su Li said, “Today, I went to town to invite a doctor from Huiren Hall, hoping that he could come and treat He Yufeng. No matter what, he was just short of kneeling down for his family. It’s also because the doctor from Huiren Hall is kind-hearted. After knowing what happened to us, he reluctantly agreed to come and help.”
Su Li silently gave herself a thumbs up. Life was like a show. It all depended on acting skills!
Zhou Yu nodded. “That’s good.. As long as the doctor is willing to come and take a look!”
