Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 268 Everyone Will Get Better

The master's wife wiped her tears and continued, "At that time, I only remembered the little girl's appearance and didn't dare to say much. Those officers and soldiers were specially instructed to treat our family very badly. At that time, I was very afraid of getting you into trouble. Fortunately, God has a good eye, and now we have met and become a family."

Su He smiled and said, "It shows that we are all good people, and good people will be rewarded in the end. Master's wife, we will surely be able to overcome all hardships and enjoy good days ahead! Let's work together to prevent those who want to harm us from succeeding in their evil plans."

Others also echoed: "Yes! Aren't we getting better and better?"

"Su He has become my father's apprentice."

"We will all be a family from now on. This is fate."

"All the hard times will pass, as long as everyone works hard..."

Master Su He smiled and comforted his wife: "Look how good it is now. Our little savior has become my apprentice. Don't worry! I will be responsible for the children and will teach them well."

The master's wife wiped away her tears and insisted on keeping a few children at home for dinner. She was really happy today. Although there was nothing delicious at home, she still wanted to express her feelings.

Su He and his sister smiled and declined, saying, "I didn't tell my family when I came. They must have prepared dinner. We can't let it go to waste. We'll have plenty of time in the future. We won't have dinner today. This way, we won't come home late and make our family worry."

They actually felt sorry for the master's wife and her family. With so many people in the family, life must be difficult. They looked pale and thin. The five of them were eating here, and they didn't know if there was enough rice and flour at home. They should help the master's family more in the future, and it would not be too late to come over for dinner when conditions improved.

Finally, under their insistence, the master's wife agreed to let them go home. They said goodbye to the master and his wife, and after the master repeatedly gave instructions to the coachman, they got in the carriage and waved goodbye.

When the master's wife and the others returned home, they opened the gifts brought by the children. Seeing so many gifts, they really didn't know what to say. There was meat, cloth, snacks, noodles, and the four treasures of the study. These were all what they needed. They were so practical. It was obvious that the Su family had prepared them carefully and could help the family solve its difficulties for a period of time.

The master's wife opened two packages of dim sum and gave one to each of the children and adults in the family. The master's wife tasted the dim sum and thought it was really good. She hadn't had dim sum for a long time.

The master told his wife: This was made by little girl Su He herself. I was in the Su family’s room, and Su He placed a plate of it for me on the table.

The master's wife smiled and said, "This child is really skillful. He can make such delicious snacks at such a young age."

The master's wife prepared to smoke half of the meat they sent, and the remaining half would be cooked for everyone to eat. The children had not eaten meat for a long time. There happened to be some noodles. Su Pei just told them that this was made in his own workshop. Cook it for a while longer and it will be the same as noodles. They had a good meal, meat stew noodle soup, to nourish the family.

The cloth was used to make a coat for each of the older children. There was really no particular reason, so dark-colored cloth was used to make coats for boys and light-colored cloth was used to make coats for girls. It was good enough to have a new coat, and their old clothes could be altered for the younger children.

In this way, the children in the family all have new clothes to wear, at least there are no patches, which is better than nothing. They are all full of emotion, it is really fate, they never thought that their family would become like this. The family's coarse linen clothes are barely enough, mainly because they have no way to make money, and now they are lucky to have two meals a day.

The children were the happiest when they were given the four treasures of the study. They were the most expensive now. The children at home used sand trays to write, and they could not afford to buy pens, inkstones, and paper. They were too luxurious for them.

The children in the family carefully picked up the pens and drew in the air. Some of the younger children had never written with a pen. When they came here, they were too young to remember their previous lives.

The older children personally experienced the rise and fall of the family, and truly felt what it was like to go from being rich and prosperous to having nothing. These scars were deeply engraved in their bones, and they knew how difficult life was.
