Chapter 70: Su Shen Is Injured

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Lin Cheng and Li Hua were at a loss, a young man happened to pass by the Li family’s house and noticed the commotion.

He pushed aside the hooligans and confidently walked in. Lin Hun, the village bully, was visibly irritated. ‘Who’s this little brat? Can’t you see we’re in the middle of something?”

Li Zhu turned and cast a disinterested gaze at Lin Hun. “You’re the village tyrant of Little Lin Village?”

Lin Hun grew even more frustrated, but then he lost his arrogance upon hearing the young man’s next words. “I’m from Daqing Village. I work for Brother Shen, and I’m here to deliver the keys to the Lin family. Are you from the Lin family?” Li Zhu asked deliberately.

Lin Hun contemplated for a moment. Brother Shen from Daqing Village could only mean Big Boss Su, but he couldn’t let on that he didn’t know. His face quickly broke into a sycophantic smile. “So you’re one of Big Boss Su’s guys.

Nice to meet you!”

Ignoring Lin Hun’s efforts to impress, Li Zhu turned to Lin Cheng and Li Hua, handing the key to Lin Cheng. “What does this mean?” Lin Cheng inquired, puzzled.

Li Zhu explained, “This is the key to the empty red brick bungalow at the entrance of Little Lin Village. Brother Shen wanted me to bring it to you.”

As Lin Hun overheard, he became more alert, sensing that something wasn’t quite right.

Even Mr. and Mrs. Li were perplexed by this turn of events.

“I won’t need to visit your place if I find you here, Brother Lin. Brother Shen instructed me to pass this key to you. You can move in tomorrow, and he’ll arrange for someone to help you,” Li Zhu elaborated before leaving for Daqing Village, leaving the entire gathering baffled.

Lin Cheng and Li Hua were stunned. Did Su Shen mean to give their family a red brick bungalow?

Li Zhu rushed back to Daqing Village and left after saying a few words to Lin Cheng. This time, a bunch of people were stunned in front of the Li family’s house.

Initially, the hooligans, including Lin Hun, couldn’t comprehend the implications of Li Zhu’s words.

So, Su Shen’s visit to the Lin family wasn’t about collecting debts but to gain Old Lin’s approval for their marriage?

Lin Hun’s face shifted between pale and red, and he appeared quite distraught.

The hooligans who had gathered behind him tried to gain Lin Cheng’s favor. Some offered cigarettes, some offered drinks, and others pledged to assist with the move.

Lin Hun chased away those lackeys, then turned around and put on a smile.

“Brother Lin, Mrs. Lin, since you’re already here, why don’t you come to my house for a meal?”

Lin Cheng and Li Hua looked at each other Lin Cheng and Li Hua exchanged astonished glances and then turned their gaze back to Lin Hun. Was this still the same unreasonable village bully from a few minutes ago?

Mr. Li took a step forward and promptly escorted Lin Hun out. “Go on, get out of here. If my son-in-law wants to eat, he’ll dine at my place. Who do you think you are?”

Mrs. Li approached Li Hua and gently spoke, “Xiao Hua, it’s my weakness that allowed your father to act that way. I’m sorry you had to hear all those unpleasant things over the years.”

Mr. Li, preoccupied with his tirade, called out to Mrs. Li, “Old woman, hurry up and prepare the meal. We’re entertaining our beloved daughter and son-in-law for dinner tonight.”

Without giving Lin Cheng and Li Hua a chance to decline, Mr. Li was insistent, praising his son-in-law, “My good son-in-law, I saw the potential in you when I married my daughter to you. I haven’t been disappointed.”

Lin Cheng and Li Hua smiled helplessly. They had no choice but to stay for dinner under Mr. Li’s kind invitation.

Lin Cheng and Li Hua felt that Gu Zi was simply their Lin family’s lucky star!

Back at the Su family’s residence, Gu Zi had laid out a table full of food, and they were about to begin eating when Big Yellow, the family dog, began barking.

As the barking continued, a knock sounded at the courtyard door. After a while, the Tibetan Mastiff stopped barking.

Big Yellow only recognized Su Shen as its master. It was very likely that it did not know the person it had first seen. Then, it saw Su Shen, so it stopped barking.

For some reason, Gu Zi had a bad feeling in her heart.

She stuffed Su Le into Su Bing’s arms and rushed out of the kitchen to open the door.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she saw Su Shen standing at the door with someone supporting him. His right arm was soaked in blood, a stark contrast to the condition he was in when they parted earlier.

Gu Zi felt her heart skip a beat and struggled to maintain her composure.

“You can go back now. Thank you for your help,” Su Shen told the person who had aided him, and they departed.

Gu Zi quickly opened the door and noticed that not only was Su Shen’s right arm dripping with blood, but his face was also stained crimson. His complexion was ashen.

His black shirt was torn in several places, and he’d done a makeshift bandage to stanch the bleeding. Gu Zi’s heart raced as she took in the sight.

Gu Zi quickly went forward to support him. His hand was hanging down, and the blood had stained the gauze.

At this moment, Su Bing and Su Li had also follow Gu Zi out. They saw Su Shen’s wound and tears started welling up in their eyes..
