Chapter 513 Finale
Years later, whenever Qian Musheng recalled his experience of meeting Su Xiaoxiao, his heart still felt as sweet as if it were his first love.
Su Xiaoxiao returned home, and Qian Musheng went back with her.
As soon as I got back to the yard, I saw my uncle and aunt with an elderly person in the yard.
"Uncle, how did you find me?"
When her uncle and aunt saw Su Xiaoxiao, tears streamed down their faces.
"We've finally found your father."
When Su Yongnian saw Su Xiaoxiao living in such a village, he was so worried that he shed tears.
"Xiaoxiao, how did you survive in such a desolate village?"
"Who is this person?"
"He is your father."
The uncle and aunt introduced them.
"He's not dead yet!"
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the old man in front of her, with his kind face and graying temples, she choked up immediately.
Is this the family I've been longing for all this time? I can finally see them.
Su Yongnian said to Su Xiaoxiao, "This place is too desolate. Listen to your father and come back to the capital with me."
After crying for a long time, Su Xiaoxiao stopped crying.
Su Yongnian was also very sad and stopped crying.
The thought of the person he had been thinking about living here for so long and suffering so much made him even more regretful for not finding Su Xiaoxiao sooner.
"Dad, I'm actually living quite well here. It's just that food, clothing, and other necessities are a bit difficult. Otherwise, I haven't had any serious illnesses, and I've been very happy along the way, so I'm already very content."
Seeing Su Yongnian's worried expression, Su Xiaoxiao continued to explain to him.
"Dad, look! I hunted all the game in this yard. I also have a very obedient tiger."
As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao released Da Huzi from the woodshed.
At first, Su Yongnian and his uncles and aunts were all terrified. Who wouldn't be scared when a big tiger slowly walked out of the woodshed?
"This……"
Su Xiaoxiao burst into laughter, "Everyone, don't be afraid. This Tiger listens to me, even more obedient than a puppy."
"what?"
Tiger squinted his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and obediently let Su Xiaoxiao pat his head, looking extremely comfortable.
Seeing Tiger like this, everyone seemed less afraid.
Su Xiaoxiao stroked Hu Zi's head and introduced the house to Su Yongnian, saying, "This courtyard was built for me by Qian Musheng. It was quite small before, but he helped me expand it. Overall, it's quite cozy."
Qian Musheng was really willing to spend money to build this little courtyard into a very cozy place, especially since it was a very warm place for someone like Su Xiaoxiao to live here.
"Although I was raising two other people's children, Mr. Qian never looked down on me. He never abandoned the three of us. Without his help, we probably wouldn't even be able to afford white flour."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was so content, Su Yongnian felt relieved.
Putting everything else aside, it's enough that Su Xiaoxiao is happy.
It doesn't really matter whether she lives in the capital or in the countryside.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao surrounded Su Xiaoxiao, playing happily. "Dad, Uncle and Aunt, it's almost New Year's. Let's spend it together, you don't need to go back to the capital!"
Su Yongnian originally wanted to bring Su Xiaoxiao back to the capital to enjoy a comfortable life and have the whole family spend a reunion year together.
But Su Xiaoxiao insisted that they stay in Wangshui Village for the New Year.
Qian Musheng quickly came over; he had already changed his tune.
“Dad, please stay here. Although it’s in the countryside, we have everything we need. I don’t like going back to Beijing anymore. I think the air there is bad, and there are too many people. It’s too noisy. It’s really not as comfortable as living in the countryside.”
Indeed, Qian Musheng owns countless properties and is extremely wealthy in the capital. The fact that he could say such a thing shows that this place is indeed better.
Xiao Bao grabbed Su Yongnian's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's stay here. It's so much fun here."
Xiao Bao is now ten years old; seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
She's a big kid now, no longer the three-year-old she used to be.
Su Yongnian looked at the adorable little boy in front of him and felt a genuine fondness for him.
Xiao Bao was wearing a beautiful fox fur dress, which made her skin look very fair. She also looked much older and was actually no less attractive than children who grew up in the city.
Su Yongnian's affection for these two children was truly inexplicable; as the saying goes, grandparents and grandchildren are especially fond of each other, and that's really true.
Although they aren't related by blood, the heartfelt tenderness and affection I feel for them is genuine.
The two children went over to play with Tiger.
Uncle and Aunt came over to chat with Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao was quite curious about what had happened in Baihua Village.
"It is said that Liu Xiaozhuang and his mother, Granny Liu, have fallen out, and he went to another place to make a living. After Liu Dazhuang was released from prison, he was lame in one leg, probably because he was fighting with other prisoners in prison. After he went back, he stopped farming and sold all the land in the house. His wife ran away with another man."
Liu Dazhuang deserved this retribution.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel any sympathy for him, but compared to Liu Dazhuang, Su Xiaoxiao was more interested in how Grandma Liu was doing now.
"What about Granny Liu?"
"She now has to support Liu Dazhuang, and goes up the mountain every day to collect herbs to sell. After being bitten by a poisonous snake once, she started to go crazy. She sits at the village entrance all day long, suffering from various ailments. In the dead of winter, she stands at the village entrance wearing only thin clothes, looking dark and thin. It seems she won't live much longer."
"Hmph, what goes around comes around. This is her retribution!"
Su Xiaoxiao knew that this ending was rather uneventful; in a way, it was retribution for Granny Liu's actions. She still vividly remembered Granny Liu's arrogant and overbearing manner when she tried to sell her and the children.
They reap what they sow and deserve no sympathy.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Su Xiaoxiao has prepared hot pot for everyone, finally bringing some relief from those unpleasant things.
Everyone sat around the stove, happily enjoying hot pot and spending the new year in joy.
Pei Yuan sent a letter, in which he reiterated that he still couldn't let go of Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't intend to pay attention to him and didn't reply.
My second brother, Su Ping'an, couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year with us because he was fighting on the border, but he also sent a letter back to let us know he was safe.
Su Xiaoxiao sat at home, the fire in the brazier inside casting a rosy glow on everyone's faces, and everyone wore happy smiles.
Snowflakes are falling outside the window; a good snow promises a bountiful year.
Another year has passed, filled with hope. My family is safe and sound, and that's enough for me.
Qian Musheng came over and put his arm around Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder. The two of them leaned against the window, looking out at the hopeful distance through the vast expanse of white snow.
