Chapter 559: Chapter 563 My Grandson is the Villain (10)

"The Luo Family had one attribute in common with locusts, they managed to live more comfortably than many others around them, all thanks to the original owner’s artisan skills."

No mistake, the original owner was a skilled artisan.

She possessed the ability to create fragrances, a skill that to ordinary families was as useless as chicken ribs.

In times when there was scarcely enough food for warmth and sustenance, no one had the luxury to indulge in such refined pursuits.

But it was different for the upper-class nobles, even if the world outside was littered with corpses, they lived in peace and joy within their enclosed small worlds.

Although the Luo Family lived in a rather remote and small town with neither big nor small nobles, there were still a few wealthy businessmen.

The original owner’s perfumery skills were not the best, and the varieties she knew were limited to an old fragrance recipe passed down for decades in her family. Nevertheless, it was enough to satisfy the wives and daughters of the town’s wealthy families.

Even the cheapest fragrance was costly to produce, at least for the residents of this town.

The wives and daughters of the wealthy didn’t indulge to the point of having the original owner make fragrances every day, it was only for important events that she got work.

Even so, the money she earned accounted for the majority of the family’s total income.

As there were many mouths to feed at home, the original owner still had to take her sons and grandsons to do odd jobs.

Fortunately, thanks to her connection to perfumery and the favor of those ladies, the odd jobs were not too laborious and the pay was decent, without deliberate underpayment.

Now that Su Li had cut off the funds, directly separating from her two sons, she naturally wouldn’t consider these overgrown babies as she had before.

This showed that the original owner really wanted to trap Su Li on the other side of the planet.

Luo Rujiang and Luo Ruhe, along with their two troublemaking daughters-in-law, had not yet reacted. But by the time they remembered these matters, there would likely be a commotion.

Su Li herself was also skilled in perfumery, even more varied and extensive than the original owner.

The perfumery methods on which the original owner relied to survive were, in Su Li’s eyes, crudely made and not fit for public presentation.

However, she did not seek out those prestigious clients from the past after leaving with Luo Luxi. Instead, she made a trip to the housing agency center.

She listed the Luo family’s main house and the newly built small tile and brick house that had been allotted to her for sale at the center.

The Luo house was well-maintained and fairly new. Especially since Su Li priced it quite reasonably, it was sold rapidly, even before she had left the housing agency center.

Even in a poor place, there were always a few exceptional individuals.

Su Li was pleased with this. Weighing the Money she had just earned in her hand, she decided not to return to the Luo Family’s home.

After all, the Luo Family was now poor and destitute. The only extra food the original owner had hidden away was all cooked by Luo Luxi that morning.

As for the bits of scrap metal and the old lady’s simple clothes, Su Li didn’t even want to give them another glance.

Luo Luxi followed silently the whole way, not missing a step beside Su Li.

But the more he saw, the less he understood the meaning behind his grandmother’s every move.

It wasn’t until he saw his grandmother, who looked quite a bit younger, buy two tickets straight to Xingyao City and then pull him toward the waiting hall.

Luo Luxi was shocked out of his usual composure.

He stumbled as he asked, "Grandma, aren’t we going back?"

Su Li was pinching a clean tissue with disdain and wiping the seats in the waiting hall that were covered in a layer of dust when she casually said, "If you’re that attached to the place, you can go back now...."

"To endure such a remote and awkward spot for even a day is already the limit."

She had been tolerating this old person’s skin for two days already, trembling and unresponsive to her commands which was enough to make her feel aggrieved and irritated. Was she not allowed to compensate herself?

Luxurious clothes, gourmet food, jewelry, and accessories—even in the presence of an old lady, she had to be the trendiest lad in the Xingyao Empire.

A wave of excitement surged in Luo Luxi’s heart too.

Nobody knew that he had memories since birth.

He had seen his biological mother, a woman of ordinary appearance, even somewhat ugly and weak.

He also remembered that his mother was from Xingyao City.

That place gathered eight or nine out of ten nobles of the Xingyao Country, and the Sports Academy was also in this city. To enter the city, you had to either be a student of the Sports Academy or join the arena, or you needed a significant Contribution Value to the Xingyao Empire to be granted special entry.

And they had none of these....

In Luo Luxi’s plans, these were things that required a long time to gradually achieve.

With this thought, the heat that had just risen in him cooled down bit by bit.

Su Li didn’t bother with the little tyke beside her and in just a short moment, thought through so much.

Children are supposed to be innocent and cute to be likable.

The bus ticket from this small town to Xingyao City had spent all of Su Li’s money. The money had barely warmed in her possession before it changed hands again. Frowning unhappily, Su Li had even greater resentment for the Merit Master who had swindled her.

A wrinkled face, no money, no health... all of it was enough to make one feel terrible.

If the original owner had explained things clearly, Su Li would not have been so particular. She had even worn the skin of men before, so why would she truly abhor the skin of an old lady?

Anyway, she was feeling upset, and all she wanted was to live a carefree and unrestrained life of a salted fish.

This small town was too remote; it didn’t offer enough scope for her to make a splash.

As for what exactly a carefree and unrestrained life of a salted fish entailed, Su Li had no idea yet.

With the little tyke in tow, Su Li would need to spend two days on the green-skinned small train before reaching the outskirts of Xingyao City.

After such a long time, even the scenery outside the train window became nauseating after a while. Su Li had only sat for a short period before instructing Luo Luxi and then returned to the sleeping berth in the small compartment to sleep.

The pair of grandmother and grandchild were quite happy, while the Luo Family was eagerly awaiting Su Li and the little tyke Luo Luxi’s return home.

After cooling down for a day, Luo Rujiang and his brother Luo Ruhe came together again, whispering and conspiring, realizing that things were not going well.

Aside from the benefit of being their own masters, upon careful thought, they realized it was more detrimental than beneficial.

Without their mother’s handicraft and connections, the two of them, though adults and grown-up, felt anxious at the thought of having to earn money and support the family on their own.

Therefore, after some fumbling and struggling, the two brothers came up with an excellent idea.

That was to have their mother pass on her perfumery skills to their wives.

With that skill, they would no longer need to rely on their mother. After all, they were her biological sons. If she didn’t pass down her best, could she take it with her to the grave?

But their plans were doomed to fail, for their mother didn’t return, but instead they found themselves waiting for a new owner of the house.
