Chapter 345: Retribution

Su Xiaoling’s hand paused. “Is that serious?”
Chen Daniu said, “It’s not serious, but it’s torture, and it’s not contagious. It’s useless to see a doctor. It won’t recover even if they take medicine and apply medicine. It’s very strange, so the villagers say that this is retribution.”
Chen Erniu added, “I also think it’s retribution. Who asked them to come and bully us every day a while ago? Even the gods remember it.”
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Who cares?”
She knew that it was Su Xiaolu’s medicine, but who cared? The Su family did not know and could not find the reason. Everyone said that it was retribution, so it was retribution.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu smiled. They were also very happy to hear this news. Just thinking about it made them feel relieved.
Su Xiaoling was also happy. She knew that Su Xiaolu knew her limits. She felt much better that she could silently punish that family.
“We’ve finally vented our anger. When we heard our parents discussing it, we were overjoyed. Even the doctor couldn’t find the reason. We don’t know when they’ll recover. Anyway, it’s not serious. I hope they’ll recover slower.”
Chen Daniu said with a smile. They hated the Chen family and the Su family in the village to the core and remembered every single thing they’ve done. Therefore, when they heard this news, she was overjoyed.
Chen Erniu kept nodding.
Su Xiaoling also smiled. She said, “Me too. Who cares when they recover? It has nothing to do with us. Let’s not talk about them. It’s unlucky.”
She would always hate that family. She was very happy to hear this news, but she did not want to say much about them.
That was the end of the topic.
“Xiaoling, how’s your marriage going?”
Chen Erniu asked.
Su Xiaoling smiled slightly and said, “Mine hasn’t been decided yet, but Second Brother’s marriage is about to be decided. It’s Miss Sun from the Sun family. The date hasn’t been decided yet. It’s being arranged.”
Su Xiaoling shared this news with Chen Erniu and Chen Daniu.
“It’s Sun Baoqian. That’s really great. She’s beautiful, gentle, and has read a lot of books. She’s very compatible with Second Brother.”
Chen Daniu smiled and praised. She only thought of one sentence: A talent is worthy of beauty.
Chen Erniu also said, “Then how’s Big Brother’s marriage?”
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Brother’s hasn’t been decided yet.”
Su Chong’s marriage had yet to be decided, but he was also in the midst of choosing someone. It should be soon.
“Xiaoling, what kind of man do you like?”
Chen Erniu looked at Su Xiaoling curiously. Su Xiaoling was beautiful. Her skin was fair and pink. She was extremely gentle. Her culinary skills were good and she was knowledgeable. She really did not know what kind of man she would like.
Chen Daniu also looked at Su Xiaoling curiously.
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “I don’t know either. Let’s leave everything to fate, but if we’re talking about liking someone, it’s good if it’s someone like my eldest brother and second brother.”
Those who were responsible were worth entrusting to.
“Sigh…”
Chen Erniu sighed.
“Why are you sighing?”
Chen Daniu asked in confusion.
Su Xiaoling looked at Chen Erniu gently and said, “What’s wrong, Chen Erniu? You don’t have to hide anything in your heart. Tell us.”
Chen Erniu suddenly sighed, making Chen Daniu and Su Xiaoling worried about her.
When Chen Erniu saw this, she hurriedly said in embarrassment, “I’m fine. I was just thinking that it would be great if Zhou Heng was two years older. I think he and Xiaoling are quite compatible. It would be better if he was older. They grew up together and understand each other better.”
As their marriage progressed step by step, Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu became much more mature. It was really a blessing to be able to marry someone who knew them well.
Zhou Heng was also handsome and knowledgeable. He was already an intermediate scholar at such a young age.
If he could be with Su Xiaoling, they would also be a talent and a beauty.
“Actually, she’s not that much older. Two or three years older isn’t considered old.”
Chen Erniu could not help but mutter.
Su Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. She quickly changed the topic and said, “Let’s not talk about this. I’ll teach you how to make medicinal cuisine.”
For some reason, she had a different feeling about Zhou Heng.
She suppressed this feeling and did not think too much about it because she knew very well that ever since she happened to hear Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng talking, she knew Zhou Heng’s identity.
Therefore, she and Zhou Heng were from two different worlds.
Zhou Heng was a prince. His future wife’s status would only be indescribably noble. She could not compare to him.
Su Xiaoling did not want to talk about this topic. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu immediately understood and tacitly did not mention it again. They seriously learned how to make medicinal cuisine from Su Xiaoling.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu mistakenly thought that Su Xiaoling did not like Zhou Heng and only treated him as her younger brother.
Su Xiaolu, who was outside the house, took in her aura.
Eavesdropping was really unacceptable.
But what if she was really happy to hear the good news?
Su Xiaolu sighed and silently went next door to train Chen Shi.
Chen Shi could already practice swordsmanship, and he was also very determined. Su Xiaolu never supervised him and only checked every once in a while.
Every time she did a spot check, Chen Shi performed very well, proving that he was very hardworking and did not fall behind.
After training Chen Shi until he could not get up, Su Xiaolu went home. She brought over the food that Su Xiaoling and the others had prepared and shared it with Chen Shi and Chen Xing.
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Xing and asked with a smile, “Xiao Xing, do you want to practice martial arts?”
Chen Xing hurriedly shook his head. “Sister Xiaolu, I don’t want to. I just want to study hard!”
Every time he saw that his brother was so tired that he could not move after practicing, he would be terrified. He was afraid that he would be asked to practice martial arts too, so when Su Xiaolu asked, Chen Xing was like a frightened bird.
“Third Brother, Sister Xiaolu, I’m going back to my room to write.”
As he spoke, Chen Xing quickly got up and returned to his room. He was afraid of dying from practicing martial arts.
Chen Shi and Su Xiaolu could not help but laugh.
Everyone liked different things. It was just that Chen Xing was still young and was afraid of being forced to learn. If he was older, he knew that no one would force him to learn things.
After eating, Su Xiaolu went home.
Every day, she would either practice her sword or grind her herbs, collecting all kinds of herbs.
November 20th. It had been cold for two consecutive days. Based on experience, it was going to snow.
As expected, the next two days were filled with snow.
On the 22nd of November, Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng told Lin Pingsheng about their idea. Lin Pingsheng thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s all go and play. It’s more fun with more people.”
Year after year, most of the scholars studied hard and their bodies were weak. It was even more impossible for them to admire the snow on such a cold day because they were afraid of falling sick.
Otherwise, with the beautiful snow scenery, one’s mood would become very good after going out to play. Thinking that Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others would be having the Spring Quarter Examinations after the new year, and when the imperial examination was settled, their futures would also have a direction. This was the end of the teacher-student relationship. They might rarely meet in the future. Thinking of this, Lin Pingsheng agreed.
“Alright, it’s settled then.”
Su Chong smiled.
