The village head saw Su Su's cute expression and felt fond of her. It had been a long time since he had raised such a small child. The village head gently stroked Su Su's head . He was afraid that she might get a head injury, so he did not dare to stroke her head too hard.
Su Zu felt the warmth on her little head, so she looked up and smiled sweetly at the village headman who seemed to be comforting her little child. In fact, her soul was 25 years old in the Qi World before she left here. But since her original body was still young, Su Zu would rather act like a child so that everyone would love her than act so strong that no one would dare to approach her.
After waiting for a short while, Lady Yuan Ping threw out a snow-white, fine jade with exquisite patterns carved on it. On the other side, there were also beautifully carved straw characters. The village head inspected the jade and saw that it was the same one he had seen many years ago, so he nodded and handed the jade to Su Su to hold.
" This is your personal possession, Su Su. If you want to find your parents in the future, try using this jade as a guide to find them. I think it's best for you to keep it to yourself. Oh ! Let me warn you, Yuan Ping. If you or anyone in the Zhou family dares to snatch Su Su's jade, I will definitely punish all of you once and for all. I have tolerated your selfish family for many years. If it weren't for Old Zhou's plea before he died, how could I let you and Zhou He stay in this village and cause trouble? Now that that's all over, let's go our separate ways and go to work. Please keep an eye out for me. If you see those mother and daughter trying to bully Su Su again, come and tell me. Do you understand ?"
" We understand, sir / madam, village head."
The villagers all unanimously agreed with the village chief. From now on, they would not have to watch Su Su being beaten anymore. Moreover, since she was being raised by the village chief, they thought that Su Su would definitely have a better life than before.
The village headman sent someone to call a doctor to treat Su Su at his house. He slowly led Su Su to his house at the entrance of the village. Su Su's short legs made her unable to walk very fast, and she had to act as if she was still injured. Su Su could only apologize to Grandfather Village Headman in her heart for having to lie to him like this.
By the time the village head brought Suzu to her doorstep, the village doctor had also arrived. So, they went into the village headman's house together to examine little Suzu's wounds. Suzu, upon seeing the doctor, bowed down in a cute manner. This made the village headman and doctor even more fascinated by her cuteness and understanding. Suzu's appearance was not ugly. It was just that she was thinner and smaller than the average child, so she looked a bit shabby. However, from now on, she would probably be even cuter if she was well taken care of by the village headman and his wife.
The doctor examined the wound for a short while before giving the village elder some medicine to apply to the wound. He also reminded them to remember to eat a balanced diet to quickly nourish Su Su's body so that she could return to being like a normal child.
The village head nodded in agreement with the doctor and was about to pay for the medicine and examination fee, but the doctor stopped him first. He also joked with Su Su that if she wanted to repay him, she would find some wild food for him after she recovered. Su Su, who didn't know that the doctor was joking, nodded seriously and said that if she recovered, she would definitely go up the mountain to find some delicious wild food to bring to the doctor, her uncles, aunts, and village headman.
The two elders never thought that the joke would become real after Su Su had recovered for a few days. They only laughed at the serious expression of the little boy in front of them. After laughing to their hearts' content, the doctor immediately asked to go back to dry some herbs. Of course, the village head and Su Su politely walked the doctor to the door.
The village head's wife, who had felt sorry for Su Su for many years, would finally be able to take care of this unfortunate child. Even if it meant waiting until Su Su was almost dead, she would take good care of her from now on. After all, she only had three sons who had already moved out. However, due to family obligations seven years ago, they had not been able to take care of Su Su.
When the village head saw his wife coming out, he told her to quickly take Su Su to take a bath so he could apply some medicine before finding some food for her to eat. They knew that Su Su probably hadn't had enough food in a few days. Fortunately, Shuang Yuan'er had prepared quite a bit of food today. After she and her husband had breakfast, there was still some food left. Shuang Yuan'er quickly nodded to her husband and easily carried the skinny Su Su to take a bath. Su Su couldn't help but feel embarrassed in front of her grandmother who had to carry her so grown up. However, since they had treated her so well, Su Su herself thought she would repay them until she had a higher level of cultivation and then leave them to find her original body's family in the future.
Village headman He Yangbao could only look at his wife who seemed to love Su Su very much with a smile. He knew how much his wife wanted to have a daughter, but she had already given birth to three sons and the doctor said that she could not have any more children, otherwise it would be dangerous for both the mother and the child. So he had been careful about this for many years until they were both old. But now that Su Su was in the family, the village headman thought that his wife and he would feel better living with just the two of them like before. Because nowadays, their children and grandchildren would only come to visit them during festivals and not long after, they would all go their separate ways to do their own jobs. But from now on, they would have cute little Su Su to raise to make them feel more energetic even though they were both quite old. How could they not be happy?
Zhou He, who had heard the news from the villagers who were spreading rumors near where he was cutting grass in the field, hurriedly ran back home to ask his wife about it. When he got home, he saw that the door to the firewood room was left open and no one was inside. He understood that the rumor that the village head had taken Su Su back to raise must be true. Zhou He put on a face that said he didn't want to accept it and immediately walked into the house to find his foolish wife.
" How many times have I told you not to hurt her? Why do you keep hurting her until the villagers know? What happened now? She was taken away by the village head. The plan to have Hui Mei disguise herself as her has been impossible. You are really stupid and stubborn. Humph !!"
When Zhou He saw his wife's face, he didn't say anything. He couldn't stand it anymore and started scolding his wife about what had just happened.
" Who told her to act so arrogantly towards me? It's only natural that I have to teach her a lesson. Why are you scolding me when your plan has already failed? It's a good thing I still have some money left. Otherwise, where would we get money for our children to take the civil service exams?"
" Humph !!! You are not too stupid to be saved. The remaining three hundred taels of silver must be saved for your children's travel expenses for next year's exams. From now on, you must manage the house by yourself and don't get involved with Su Su anymore. Otherwise, our children who are studying will suffer. Do you understand? "
" I understand, my husband. You are tired. Drink some cold water first. Hui Mei, hurry up and get some water for your father."
Zhou Huimei could only sullenly walk over to get a bowl of water for her father to drink. What could she do? She was also afraid that her mother would hurt her if she did not follow her mother's orders. Even if she was her own daughter, if she made her mother unhappy, she would definitely end up no different from Su Su.
