Chapter 200: Afraid To Lose You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, βAre we here? Can you put me down?β βHas your leg recovered?β He Yufeng asked.
Su Li smiled coquettishly. βYes, yes. Everything will be fine after a nap!β
Only then did He Yufeng put her down. Seeing that he was covered in sweat, Su Li took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him. βHere, wipe your sweat. Itβs been hard on you.β
He Yufeng did not decline and naturally took the handkerchief from her hand to wipe it. After wiping it, he did not return it to Su Li and put it in his pocket.
He said, βIβll wash it and return it to you.β
Su Li didnβt mind. It was just a handkerchief. She still had a lot at home!
Although He Yufeng knew the way to Jia Village, he did not know where Zhao Pengβs family lived. Hence, Su Li found a villager and started asking for directions.
When the villagers saw strangers coming, they could not help but be vigilant. Too many things had happened in the village recently, so many that they could not sleep well at night.
Su Li tried her best to look kind. βAuntie, donβt be afraid. Iβm Zhao Pengβs distant cousin. Itβs just that our families havenβt contacted each other for many years. This time, I heard about him and wanted to come over to take a look.β
The woman sized Su Li up and saw that her face was filled with sincerity. She did not look like she was lying. Moreover, it was not a secret where Zhao Pengβs family lived. It was fine to tell her.
βGo north and turn west when you see an apricot tree. The family at the top is his house.β
Su Li smiled and thanked the woman. βThank you, auntie. Itβs a pity that my cousin died at such a young age! β
The woman sighed when she heard that. βThatβs right! That child isnβt married yet. He doesnβt even have a bloodline. Really pity the Zhao couple.β
Su Liβs eyes flashed as she said, βA few years ago, I heard that he had a childhood sweetheart who seemed to be getting engaged. After that, I didnβt hear him say anything.β
The woman couldnβt help but ask, βWhatβs that girlβs name?β
Su Li thought for a moment and said, βI think itβs called Xiuβer?β
When the woman heard this, she patted her thigh. βAiyo, you canβt spout nonsense. Xiuβer has been engaged since she was young. The other party is even a scholar! Itβs just that Xiuβerβs life isnβt very good. She doesnβt have the fortune and died at such a young age.β
Su Li pretended to be surprised and said, βHuh? No way. Auntie, quickly tell me whatβs going on?β
Why was this different from what she had heard before?
Xiuβerβs matter was not a secret. The woman could not control her mouth and told her everything she knew. βXiuβer somehow became crazy. Do you think a scholarβs wife can be crazy? The two families discussed it and canceled this marriage. Unexpectedly, Xiuβer decided to kill herself, she jumped into the well and died.β freew(e)bnovel.com
βXiuβer is also an unfilial daughter. Itβs fine if she died, but she even took her parents, brothers, and sister-in-law away. Why do you think they raised such a daughter for? If we had known earlier, we would have drowned her at such a young age.β
Su Li was speechless.
Could she claim the lives of others after turning into a ghost?
She did not believe that!
Su Li continued, βAuntie, whatβs wrong with Xiuβer? Why did she suddenly become crazy?β
The woman said disdainfully, βHow can you say that? She must have always wanted to be a scholarβs wife in the past. It wasnβt easy for her to become one. She was so excited that she was overjoyed!β
Su Li asked again, βIs that scholar from our village?β
The woman raised her chin proudly, as if the scholar was her son. βNo, heβs from the neighboring village. However, their families were engaged in the past. Xiuβerβs family has helped him a lot over the years, but that scholar is also grateful. He was the one who helped bury Xiuβer and her parents this time!β
βHe said that although his marriage with Xiuβer is gone, he has always doted on Xiuβer as if she was his younger sister and treated her parents as his own. Therefore, when they are gone, he will definitely give them the last bit of dignity.β
βI have to say that he did a really good job. No familyβs funeral is as lively as their familyβs. Didnβt you see that the meat on the table was bowl after bowl?
This is the first time Iβve eaten such a good mealβ¦β
Listening to the womanβs nagging, Su Li roughly understood the situation.
Now, other than Xiuβerβs brother, who had gone on a long trip, no one else in Xiuβerβs family had survived. That scholar had abandoned his fiancΓ©e and even left a good reputation.
Su Li nodded at the woman. βAuntie, go ahead. Iβll go to my cousinβs house to take a look first.β
The woman said enthusiastically, βDo you know the way? Do you need me to take you there?β
Su Li smiled and rejected politely. βNo need. I know!β
βAlright then!β The woman did not force him. She turned around and went to find someone to gossip with.
He Yufeng felt that it was complicated and said, βAre you planning to interfere in this matter?β
Su Li glanced at him and said, βItβs not that I want to interfere, but this matter has already pestered me. If I donβt resolve it, Iβll be the unlucky one in the future.β
He Yufeng said, βIβll always stand behind you, no matter what you do!β
Su Li did not take his words to heart and said perfunctorily, βAlright, Iβll rely on you then!β
He Yufeng said solemnly, βIβm serious!β
Su Li blinked her big eyes. βIβm serious too. Look at the sincerity on my face.β
He Yufeng couldnβt do anything to her. He reached out and held her hand. βIβll hold your hand so that you wonβt get lost.β
Su Li was speechless. Thereβs no need!
When the villagers passing by saw them holding hands, they could not help but point at them. He Yufeng was a little embarrassed and let go of her hand. Su Li teased, βWhy? Arenβt you afraid that Iβll get lost now?β
He Yufengβs ears started to turn red. βThere are too many people now!β
He Yufeng was slightly stunned when he saw her smile. She looked so beautiful when she smiled. Seeing her smile, his frustration disappeared.
Before Su Li walked into Zhao Pengβs house, she heard cries coming from inside.
Not far away, a few villagers walked over. However, when they were about to reach Zhao Pengβs house, they turned a corner, as if they were subconsciously avoiding the place, afraid that they would be unlucky if they passed by.
Su Li and He Yufeng walked in. The two elders in the central room were crying, but there were no coffins.
They only reacted when Su Li walked in front of the old couple.
βYou are?β
Su Li explained, βWeβre Zhao Pengβs friends. When we heard that he was gone, we specially came to take a look.β
The old man wiped his tears. βYouβre too kind. Itβs really worth it for Zhao Peng to have friends like you. Look, everyone in the village is avoiding us now.. Theyβre afraid that weβll pass bad luck to them!β
