Chapter 33 The whole story
"Little Hui'er, we meet again."
Su Ning smiled and nodded to the little guy before eagerly putting down the things on her back.
Ignoring the burning pain in her shoulder, she turned around and, meeting the old man's increasingly puzzled gaze, dropped a bombshell.
"Grandma, this is Qu Guangming's house, right?"
"The Ming Dynasty?!"
The old woman with bound feet moved with astonishing speed, running up to her in a few steps, grabbing her arm and asking questions repeatedly.
"Yes, this is Qu Guangming's home, it's his home!"
"Ningning, do you know my Daming? Where is my Daming? Is he alright? Why hasn't he come home after all these years?"
Holding those calloused, withered hands tightly, Su Ning unsurprisingly 'saw' the tragic future of the Qu family once again.
……
The Qu family, with their vast landholdings, was once a renowned landowner in the area, known for their virtuous deeds. However, the Qu family had a short line of only one heir, and to ensure good fortune for their sole descendant, each generation of head of the family never hesitated to do good deeds.
Despite the ravages of war, the Qu family remained wealthy by Qu Feng's generation. He married the eldest daughter of the Huang family, a local family that made their fortune in Chinese medicinal herbs, and they had an only son, Qu Guangming.
Qu Guangming left home at the age of sixteen.
He only saw his family three times in more than ten years. After his eldest grandson was born, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. His daughter-in-law couldn't bear it and ran away. Qu Feng also fell ill and never recovered.
From then on, the family lost its pillar and could only struggle to survive on Huang Shufen's frail shoulders.
No matter how difficult the circumstances, they never gave up. The driving force that kept them struggling to survive was raising their grandson and the expectation in their hearts that their son would eventually return.
Several years later, when he received confirmation of his son's death, Qu Feng was so shocked that he died on the spot.
Unable to believe it, and having lost her loved ones one after another, Huang Shufen also collapsed and has been bedridden ever since.
However, Huang Shufen also succumbed to her illness after only six months, leaving Qu Hui all alone.
Years later, Qu Hui, now an adult, finally saw his father return from a secret mission, having lost both legs, and was hailed as a hero by everyone.
……
Thinking of Xiao Qu's painful questions, Su Ning's heart ached, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears: This time, he still protected people, and I will protect you.
"What...what happened?"
Seeing her eyes redden in an instant, Huang Shufen's heart skipped a beat. Her hands trembled and her eyes welled up with tears. "It's okay, right? He's fine. It's just... he just can't leave, right?"
"Correct!"
Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, Su Ning answered decisively, "It's exactly as you said."
"That's good, that's good! If they can't come back, they can't come back. As long as they can come back someday, that's enough..."
Overwhelmed with nervousness, Huang Shufen felt dizzy upon receiving a positive reply.
Qu Feng, who was listening intently inside the room, was already in tears, but he held back his tears and dared not make a sound.
He just kept murmuring silently: It's good to be alive, as long as people are still alive.
"Look how old and senile I am! Ningning, please sit down. Go back and pour your older sister a bowl of water!"
Huang Shufen smiled and wiped away her tears. After the dizziness subsided, she realized that she hadn't even had time to let the person sit down.
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
She responded with a sweet smile, her dimples barely visible under the dim kerosene lamp.
Such a pretty girl, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, doesn't seem like someone from BD at all. Could it be that someone in her family got to know Da Ming through J? "I have two older brothers who are both from J. They used to work for Uncle Qu's BD. Now that they've retired, they've come to Xiangnan to work with me and came home to visit Uncle Qu on his behalf."
"They couldn't come forward for some reasons, so I volunteered!"
As if sensing the doubt in her eyes, Su Ning bent down, pulled open the oil paper covering the basket, and then took out bag after bag of things from it.
He continued patiently and gently, "We were all surprised to learn that Xiao Qu Hui's name was on the bus. It was such a coincidence."
"So this is ah."
Huang Shufen nodded in realization. No wonder the girl had given him such a large handful of precious candy when she heard Hui'er's name in the car.
The two people sitting next to her at the time must have been her brother, and her son ZY, right?
He looks strong, and his energy is exactly the same as his son's. It's true!
"Grandma, please keep these for now. I'll bring them to you again after we've finished eating."
"what?"
Distracted, Huang Shufen stared blankly for a while before realizing what was happening and casually opened one of the cloth bags that was handed to her.
It's... a high-quality, premium millet, bright yellow and golden!
"all these are?"
Huang Shufen seemed to have been pricked, and suddenly put down the bag in her hand, waving her hands and backing away, saying, "No, no, I can't accept these old women."
"Why not? These things were carefully purchased and secretly mailed by Uncle Qu, how can we refuse them?"
"Did he really bring all of these back from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Of course! Mother-in-law, you see, I just graduated from high school and I still have a few days before I can start working. How am I supposed to get all this stuff?"
Although she still had doubts, Huang Shufen could only accept it somewhat nervously because of her confident and well-reasoned statements.
There was really no food stored at home. We managed to go into the mountains and pick some apricots and wild lantern fruits, which we sold in Xingcheng for a little money, but it only bought us a few kilograms of coarse grains.
She and the old man were discussing whether to risk selling one of the hidden yellow croakers to find a way to buy more food.
"Ningning, thank you."
"It's all what I should do; that's just how my mother-in-law is..."
"I understand, we know, we don't want others to know, right?"
Since they had secretly entrusted someone to bring it back, they were determined to keep it a secret for their son.
Huang Shufen clearly remembered what Da Ming had said: "If you don't want to allow it, then don't allow it. Don't ask why, because the reason is a secret."
"Haha~"
The old woman had a mysterious look on her face, which was kind of cute. Su Ning smiled and, seeing that it was getting late, got up and handed her the last two burlap sacks. "These are a token of my and my brothers' affection."
"Well then, Mother-in-law, I'll head back now and come see you again in a while."
Without giving anyone a chance to open and inspect before refusing, Su Ning slung the empty basket over her shoulder and walked out of the house as soon as she finished speaking, bumping right into Qu Hui, who was slowly walking over after pouring water.
Reacting quickly, Su Ning helped the man up and flicked his forehead lightly with her finger.
"elder sister?"
"Good boy, Xiao Qu, I'll come see you again next time."
Everyone should be able to understand some parts that can't be explained in detail, right? I can only use capital letters to represent them.
Ah, I want to advance in rank, I want to be listed! My darlings, please keep voting! Votes! Votes!
