Chapter 112: Blunt Words 1

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao had no idea how amazing Old Wu was, but now, looking at the money, their understanding of Old Wu was overturned and redefined.

“Simei, give this to your master. You haven’t finished your apprenticeship yet. You shouldn’t take these.”

Su Sanlang felt his hand grow heavy as he held it. He suddenly realized how much God had blessed their family.

After reacting, Su Sanlang treated the master-disciple relationship between Old Wu and Su Xiaolu more carefully. He was afraid that Su Xiaolu was still too young and had not done some things well.

It didn’t matter if Su Xiaolu was insensible. As parents, they should know better and teach her.

“Sanlang, you’re right. We can’t take so much money.”

Madam Zhao also felt that Su Sanlang was right. Their Simei had yet to finish their medical studies from the divine doctor. Logically speaking, they shouldn’t take the money. Any field of study was very harsh on disciples.

Old Wu was very good to Su Xiaolu. It was already very good that he did not make things difficult for her.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. She leaned against Su Sanlang obediently and said, “Father, Mother, but Master gave this to me.”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were right.

It was fine if she didn’t take this money, but it was given by Old Wu, so the meaning was different.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were stunned.

After a while, Su Sanlang said, “This is really from your master. This is too much.”

He wasn’t sure how much money Old Wu had, but as far as this box was concerned, Su Sanlang couldn’t imagine.

Madam Zhao was also a little speechless. She did not know what to say to express her shock.

Some people would fight to the death for a few copper coins, but Old Wu gave so much money to a child so easily.

Su Xiaolu blinked and said, “Master also said that the entire Minggu will be mine in the future.”

Su Sanlang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before saying, “Since it’s from your master, keep it well. Be filial to him in the future, understand?”

Madam Zhao also reminded her, “Remember what your father said. The most important thing for us as humans is not to forget our roots. No matter what happens in the future, mother hopes that you will respect your teachers.”

Su Xiaolu nodded and replied seriously, “Father, Mother, I know.”

Old Wu was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was his only disciple. The old man didn’t say it, but he treasured her in his heart.

She was not an ungrateful person. How could she not know how to repay favors?

Seeing that Su Xiaolu was serious, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at each other and were relieved. The two of them smiled and said everything without saying anything.

Dinner was sumptuous.

It was rare for Su Sanlang to drink with Old Wu. He held his glass and said solemnly, “Big Brother, thank you for taking care of Simei.”

Old Wu couldn’t be bothered to speak and drank.

How annoying. He knew it would be troublesome.

He glared at the brat, whose eyes were not looking at him at all. Her head was almost buried in the bowl.

Hmph.

After eating and drinking his fill, Old Wu went back.

Madam Zhao boiled hot water for Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu to wash up.

Su Sanlang took the box and quietly went next door.

He came to Old Wu’s courtyard and knocked softly.

Old Wu snapped, “Come in.”

Seeing Su Sanlang, Old Wu knew why he was here.

Su Sanlang took out the box and said, “Brother, we can’t accept this. Xiaolu said that Chong and Hua can enter the school. We’re already very grateful for your kindness.”

Old Wu snorted. “Su Sanlang, if you weren’t my disciple’s father today, I wouldn’t even let you in the door. You’re a good man, but you’ve been holed up in this small place all your life. You’ve never seen the world and don’t know what a treasure this brat is. I don’t blame you for this.”

“Don’t say that 10,000 taels of silver is too much. I don’t care about this bit of money. I gave it to my disciple. She’s filial to her parents. If you want to use it, use it. If not, you’re free to throw it away or burn it. You can do whatever you want. I only have one disciple. I can give her whatever I want. I don’t blame you if you don’t understand. However, don’t do such things again in the future. I’m very annoyed.”

It was just a small matter.

If he wasn’t Su Xiaolu’s father, he would have been kicked out long ago.

He was only patient this time. If he comes again next time, don’t blame him for falling out.

Old Man Wu’s bluntness made Su Sanlang blush. He held the box and said helplessly, “Okay, I understand.”

Then he turned and went out.

Old Wu frowned and said, “Don’t feel uneasy. When the little girl finishes her apprenticeship in the future, as long as the patient breathes, they won’t die in her hands. You have to understand that there are many rich and powerful people in the world who can use money to treat illnesses. If your two boys can enter the school, they will also be very outstanding in the future. You two will get used to it.”

With that, he closed the door.

He’d said so much today that he wasn’t even in the mood to talk after that.

Su Sanlang paused for a long time. As he listened to Old Wu, he seemed to understand all at once. Old Wu was right. He had been ignorant.

He turned and silently bent down to salute the man in the room.

“Thank you.”

Su Sanlang put the box away and walked firmly out of Old Wu’s yard door.

When Su Sanlang returned to his room, Madam Zhao was waiting for him.

Seeing Su Sanlang return, Madam Zhao asked, “Sanlang, how is it?”

Su Sanlang handed the box to Madam Zhao and said, “I’ve brought it back. Keep it well. When Simei gets married in the future, we’ll use it as her dowry.”

Madam Zhao was a little surprised. “This, this is too much.”

Su Sanlang patted Madam Zhao’s hand and said, “Darling, it’s not much. I’ll tell you in detail later.”

Madam Zhao knew that there was probably something going on. She wanted to know, but she was in no hurry because Su Sanlang would tell her sooner or later.

After Su Sanlang lay down to rest, he told Madam Zhao everything that Old Wu had said.

Madam Zhao listened quietly. After a while, she said, “Then let’s keep it.”

Thinking of her two sons, Madam Zhao leaned against Su Sanlang and said, “Sanlang, if only Chong and Hua were really successful. At that time, you would be able to raise your head and puff out your chest. We would also be at ease. At that time, what kind of life they would lead would have nothing to do with us.”

“When the time comes, the two of us will guard our hometown in peace. When the children are tired, they’ll come home and visit us. The two of us will farm and work at sunrise and rest at sunset, okay?”

As Madam Zhao spoke, she moved closer. She knew that Su Sanlang might be feeling a little down. She would not comfort him. She would only tell him that no matter what life was like, she was willing to stay by his side.

She would follow him all her life, share his bed, and never leave him.
