Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

After giving Su Su a bath and bringing her her son's old clothes from when he was a child, Song Yuan'er immediately took Su Su's hand and led her to the dining table. She would have fed Su Su if she hadn't heard her little voice saying that she could eat by herself. Song Yuan'er must have thought that Su Su was still just a little child.

The village head who was watching could only laugh at his wife for wanting to take care of Su Su too much. He even teased his wife, saying that Su Su was already 7 years old, how could he treat her like a little child? Seeing her husband teasing her, Shuang Yuan'er could only glare at this old man. Don't think that she didn't know that he also cared for Little Miss Su Su just as much as she did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shied away from taking care of the vegetable plot and stayed here to apply medicine to Su Su like this in the first place.

As for little Su Su who was hungrily chewing her rice, she tried not to be too greedy no matter how hungry she was. At the very least, her eating manners had to be as good as in her previous world so that no one would look down on her. The more she saw the two old grandparents who had adopted her joking around like children, the more she could not help but smile at the cuteness of the two old people who had accepted her into their family without any fear of causing her any trouble. After she recovered, she would go up the mountain to find ginseng to nourish them so that they would be healthy so that they could stay with her for a long time before she had to leave to find her own family in the future.

After eating, Song Yuan'er immediately took Su Su to her son's old bedroom that she always kept clean.

" You go and rest for a while. When it's time to eat, Grandma will call you to eat. Okay ?"

" Yes, Grandma. Thank you very much for taking such good care of me."

" Oh, my child, you are so cute. How could my husband and I be as cruel to you as Yuan Ping? Come on, hurry up and get some rest. Grandma will go help Grandpa take care of the vegetable patch."

Su Su could only nod in agreement with Song Yuan'er's words and closed her eyes obediently. She wasn't really sleepy yet, but since it was her aunt's goodwill, she would do it. Moreover, she could still accumulate energy while sleeping. Whether she was asleep or awake, she would continue to accumulate energy like she had been doing before. Right now, she was only at the second level of Earth Qi. It would be a long time before she could break through to the Silver, Gold, and Sky Qi levels, which were her original world levels.

When it was time for lunch, Song Yuan'er called Su Su to come and eat together. Su Su groggily got up to follow her grandmother's voice to the dining table where she had eaten at noon. Both He Yang Bao and Song Yuan'er scooped food into Su Su's bowl until it was almost overflowing. She could only smile and thank her grandparents cutely before slowly scooping food to eat like she always did at noon. He Yang Bao and Song Yuan'er almost wanted to scoop more food for her, but now Su Su's bowl was almost overflowing, so they could only scoop food for themselves. Not long after, Su Su's small hands scooped several dishes into the bowls for her grandparents, just like they had made for her. The only difference was that Su Su had to stand up to scoop food because her arms were too short to sit down and scoop food.

The two old men looked at each other with wide smiles. It was worth it that they had raised Su Su themselves. This child was truly filial, even when she was so small. Seeing that Su Su had finished serving the food and sat down, the two old men also served food into Su Su's empty bowl. The atmosphere of this meal was filled with a warm atmosphere, which Su Su liked very much. She promised herself that she would be more filial to her grandparents to repay them for all they had done for her, without thinking of her as someone else at all.

After the meal, Su Zu hurriedly said that she would wash the dishes herself, but was scolded by her grandmother who told her to wait until she was fully recovered. If she wanted to help her grandmother, she wouldn't stop her. But right now, she wasn't fully recovered yet. They wanted her to rest more. Su Zu had to reluctantly nod her head in agreement with them. In fact, her condition had improved a lot after she gradually accumulated her Qi.

Three months have passed.

In the past three months, Su Zu had helped Song Yuan'er with all the housework after her wounds had healed. The two old men didn't stop her anymore. Since she wanted to lighten their burden of going out to take care of the vegetable plot every day, not to mention He Yang Bao's duties as village head, Su Zu had become both a housekeeper and a small helper, depending on her abilities.

In the past three months, her Qi level had reached the second level of the Silver level, which was much faster than when she was in her original world. Perhaps it was because there were few people cultivating martial arts here, she was receiving a large amount of pure Qi every day, causing her body to now grow as tall as a normal child. Not to mention the nutrients from the various meals her grandmother and grandfather made for her every meal, causing Su Su to recover from malnutrition in just three months.

Now, she wanted to go up the mountain to find something good for her grandfather, grandmother, and the uncles and aunts who had helped her get out of the Zhou household. However, she did not dare to ask her grandfather and grandmother for fear that they would not allow her to go alone. Even though Su Su could now use the Light Body Technique and the Basic Flying Sword, she could fight off the beasts without much difficulty if she really encountered danger on the mountain.

During breakfast the next day, Su Zu decided to ask her grandparents for permission to go up the mountain to collect forest products to sell as extra income to repay them. She also claimed that in the future, she would have to go out and find her family, so she needed to save up some money first. For this reason, the two old men could no longer stop Su Zu from going up the mountain. They only gave her a backpack and a small knife to use for self-defense.

Before Su Su bid farewell to her grandparents and went up the mountain after washing the dishes for them, He Yangbao and Song Yuan'er told Su Su to take good care of herself. They would wait for her to return.

Su Su, who saw her grandmother's tears welling up in her eyes with worry, could only walk back and hug her grandmother's waist, promising that she would hurry back before the sun set and that nothing would happen to her. Song Yuan'er also hugged Su Su tightly in return with concern, until He Yang Bao had to tell her to hurry up and let Su Su go before the sun got any stronger.

After Song Yuan'er let go of Su Su, she turned around and walked away, waving goodbye to her grandfather and grandmother with a smile. The two old men thought they were seeing things when they saw Su Su walking as fast as if she was running. They had no idea that Su Su had only used a little bit of the Light Body Technique right now. Even though she had recovered from her malnutrition, it would still be a while before her body could grow to the level of someone her age.

In fact, there was quite a bit of money in her bracelet. It was just that the money in the old world could not be used in this world. So Su Zu needed to find other ways to make money for the future when she would have to travel far without knowing where to go to find her family. But at least she would be able to go out and explore this wide world to her heart's content. She wanted to know what this world was like. Aside from the memories of her original body, Su Zu had no idea about the other things in this world. She knew that her grandfather and grandmother rarely left the village, so she didn't ask them.
