Chapter 131 Changing Plans

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Changing Plans

The voice involuntarily raised a few notches, "Changping and Ziling, they are my sons too! All these years, I have not turned a blind eye to your actions towards them, only enduring time and again. But heaven has eyes, Youfu’s death, if not divine retribution, what is it?" His tone was filled with grief and blame.

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, as if the anger and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years had finally found an outlet: "It was your cruel heart that led to the innocent death of our sons. When will you repent and recognize your own mistakes?" Each word was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into Lady Zhao’s heart.

Lady Zhao’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Jiang Xunzhong as if she was looking at a complete stranger.

Then, suddenly, she frantically swept all the bowls and dishes off the table, shattering them everywhere.

"You bastard, how dare you spout such nonsense!"

She screamed, completely losing control of her emotions.

Seeing this, Jiang Xunzhong did not back down; instead, he swung his arm and flipped the entire table over, the sound of colliding dinnerware was deafening.

"Every word I said is true, your heart is malevolent, not only bullying them but even planning to harm Ziling. I was blind all these years to have repeatedly tolerated you. From now on, if you dare lay a finger on Changping or Ziling, I’ll divorce you, this wicked woman, and let everyone see your true face!"

His words contained an unprecedented determination and strength, as if overnight, the man who used to be meek had vanished without a trace.

This sudden conflict caught Lady Zhao off guard, her momentum quickly crumbling under Jiang Xunzhong’s firm stance.

Outside the house, this upheaval caught everyone’s attention; Xie Xinghua’s face registered surprise, Fang Qin seemed to have anticipated this moment, after all, Jiang Xunzhong’s previous incident with the chicken had already hinted at the beginning of some change... Su Yu slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing sparkle in her eyes, and she sweetly said to Jiang Ziling beside her, "It looks like your father has finally awakened to protect his young sons."

With that, a mirthful smile curved her lips.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziling’s smile held a trace of self-mockery while his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness: "Ah Yu, do you think I still need such belated protection as I did in the past?" His voice was deep and mellow, like jade refined by the years, revealing an imperceptible resilience.

Su Yu did not respond directly, but her expressive eyes seemed to narrate storms of the past.

The difficult times they had shared unfolded like a series of paintings in their minds, and Jiang Xunzhong’s awakening now seemed indeed a bit too late.

Seeing Jiang Ziling still persisting in his work, a tender compassion arose silently in Su Yu’s heart. She softly consoled him, "If you feel tired, consider taking a break. These trivial tasks cannot be rushed, and you should not overstrain yourself both physically and mentally."

In her words, there was a look full of concern in her eyes, like a spring breeze soothing the soul, warm and delicate.

Jiang Ziling responded with an even brighter smile, like the warm sun in spring, warm yet not scorching.

"How could I be tired, this is just a way for idle me to exert some effort."

His words carried a hint of pleasure in helping, and being able to alleviate Su Yu’s troubles filled his heart with joy, so overwhelming it was evident in his expression. How could he feel the slightest fatigue?

"Okay, but don’t push yourself too hard."

Despite Su Yu’s verbal caution, her hands never stopped moving; she skillfully selected and matched various herbs, each action demonstrating professional precision and care.

With someone willingly extending a hand, she naturally was happy to accept this kind gesture, and their tacit understanding flowed silently between them.

As the home’s stock of medical herbs was gradually completed, Su Yu stretched languidly, a sense of satisfaction arising spontaneously.

The sunlight was just right, slanting in through the window, and its warm embrace made one feel refreshed and delighted. Su Yu suddenly felt the urge to go outside for some fresh air, as staying at home for a long time made anyone crave the expansive freedom of the great outdoors.

"Take your time, I will take Xixi out for a walk."

Su Yu turned to Jiang Ziling and spoke with a gentle yet firm tone.

In Jiang Ziling’s eyes, there was a look of fond indulgence, a deep affection that needed no words to be felt.

"Go on, have a good time."

His every word was like a gentle spring rain, warming the heart.

Upon hearing they were going out, Xixi immediately became excited, tightly grasping Su Yu’s hand, and shaking it excitedly. Her innocent and carefree demeanor made one irresistibly feel affectionate towards her.

Su Yu picked up the prepared small backpack and took Xixi’s tender little hand; together, they stepped out of the house and into this vibrant world.

Initially, Su Yu had planned to visit the two rice fields she had never seen with her own eyes, but then she realized she had no idea where they actually were.

Although Jiang Xunzhong had mentioned they were by the river, the endless stretch of fields along the bank, like a green sea, made it difficult to identify which two belonged to the Jiang Family.

Moreover, recalling the previous disagreement between Jiang Xunzhong and his wife, Su Yu felt it was inappropriate to ask about it now, as it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After much thought, she decided to change her plan, taking Xixi to check on the plots at the foot of the mountain to see if the seeds they had planted had sprouted yet, and secretly hoping they might also pick some wild fruits to satisfy a craving.

The outskirts of the mountain were relatively safe, but considering Xixi’s stamina, Su Yu wisely abandoned the idea of going up the mountain and planned to go alone next time.

Along the way, Su Yu passed by many villagers.

The villagers greeted her warmly; since they had learned of Su Yu’s medical skills, their looks conveyed even more respect and closeness.

Even in such a simple scene of a walk, with Xixi’s presence, everyone could not help but praise Su Yu’s compassion and kindness. She treated this mute child she had found as her own, with added affection.

To the villagers, the empty backpack Su Yu carried not only prepared for the possibility of carrying Xixi when she could no longer walk, but it also became a symbol of her diligence and virtuousness.

In their minds, this young woman was surely planning to gather firewood in the mountains to add warmth to her home.

And so, amidst the villagers’ praise and expectations, Su Yu slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain.

When she looked up towards the distant fields, she noticed two vague figures busy at work, a man and a woman, too far to recognize.

At that moment, Su Yu’s heart surged with a mix of nervousness and confusion—had these strangers not realized that the land was already occupied? This sudden development tinged the peaceful afternoon with a shade of the unknown.

Su Yu suppressed the laughter bubbling up in her heart, waved her hand dismissively, and chose not to say more.

In her heart, she marveled silently at how wonderful the coincidences in this world could be, leaving one speechless with amazement.
