Chapter 93: No Matter
“Ah Chong, Ah Hua, such a foolish person is not worthy of being a teacher. That’s why he will always be just a scholar. Don’t listen to or believe what he says. An incompetent person can’t teach you how to fly. It’s better not to have such a teacher.”
Zhou Heng was extremely determined. He looked at Su Chong and Su Hua and spurned Zhao Shouren firmly. He was determined to let Su Chong and Su Hua understand that they had never been wrong. Zhao Shouren was the one who was wrong.
“Thank you, Little Brother Heng. I understand.”
Su Hua smiled at Zhou Heng, and the low mood in his heart disappeared. He looked into Zhou Heng’s determined eyes. Of course, Su Hua chose to believe in his Little Brother Heng.
“Little Brother Heng is right. I don’t want such a teacher.”!!
Su Chong also smiled and said to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng nodded. He was relieved that Su Chong and Su Hua could get rid of the influence of Teacher Zhao in time.
Su Xiaolu didn’t say anything. She just ran over and hugged Su Chong and Su Hua and kissed their cheeks.
She hadn’t realized how difficult it was for those who dared to break free of their moral shackles in these times.
The only thing that did not change was that no matter how difficult it was, their family would always stick together.
“Brother Zhou Heng, you haven’t finished walking yet. Hurry up and continue.”
Su Xiaolu urged Zhou Heng to continue training.
Zhou Heng nodded and continued his cruel training of walking. Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaoling encouraged him.
Inside the main room.
Su Sanlang also told Madam Zhao about the matter.
Madam Zhao cried when she heard about what had happened. She felt terrible, but she didn’t know what to say. She just hugged Su Sanlang and sobbed silently.
After a long while, Madam Zhao said in a choked voice, “Sanlang, it’s alright. It’s enough for our family to be together.”
Su Sanlang sighed. His heart was so heavy that even his words sounded heavy.
“I’m sorry.”
His words were weak and painful.
Perhaps this was just the beginning. Su Chong and Su Hua’s studies were not the only things affected.
Their marriage would also be affected.
Su Sanlang’s heart felt like it was being cut by a million knives.
Madam Zhao seemed to understand his pain. She raised her head from Su Sanlang’s arms and said, “Sanlang, let’s earn more money. In a few years, let’s bring the children to another place. Let’s go to a place where no one knows us, okay?”
What Su Sanlang thought of, Madam Zhao also thought of as well. It was because of that pain that she had this thought.
The Great Zhou Empire was so big, there must be a place where people did not know about their past family matters. There must be a place that could accommodate them.
How good her Chong and Hua were. How obedient her daughters were. Their future should not be affected or destroyed. They should be able to find a good match and be happy for the rest of their lives.
Su Sanlang looked at Madam Zhao. He nodded and said hoarsely, “Okay.”
He had never wanted to leave his familiar hometown. His roots were here.
However, if there was no room for him here, he wouldn’t wait for his death here. He had tried so hard to break free from his shackles to live well, not to be destroyed.
His sons had finally recovered and should not be treated badly anymore.
Madam Zhao sighed softly. She was filled with melancholy, but no words could express how she felt.
When the couple calmed down and came out of the room, Su Chong and Su Hua were carrying Zhou Heng’s wooden wheelchair back to the house.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao went to take a look. After confirming that they did not need any help, they went to the fields to work.
After that, Su Chong and Su Hua’s enrollment was never mentioned again.

In March, Zhou Heng could already leave the wooden wheelchair and walk slowly. Every step he took was very slow, but he was getting better day by day. Zhou Heng could also feel that his legs were becoming more and more agile. He no longer felt the pain from when he first walked. Now, he only felt that his muscles were a little tense.
Usually, he would teach Su Chong and Su Hua the Three Character Classic and the Tao Te Ching. In addition to the meaning that he learned from the imperial tutor, he also taught Su Chong and Su Hua some of his own inferences.
Su Chong and Su Hua studied seriously. The two of them also had very complex thoughts.
Zhou Heng always felt that Su Hua was talented and intelligent, and it was a pity.
He felt that Su Sanlang’s family should get out of here and go to a better place to make a future for Su Chong and Su Hua, but this thought was dispelled several times.
He knew perfectly well that he could not impose his thoughts on others.
Su Sanlang’s family was not rich. They did not have a strong enough foundation. It was not easy for them to leave their hometown and go to an unfamiliar place.
They needed to think this through carefully.
March was the busy season for planting seeds, so Zhou Heng naturally followed them to the fields.
Every day, they were busy farming and learning.
These days, Zhou Heng felt very happy and fulfilled.
Since he was walking to the fields, except for daily acupuncture and medicine, his training was canceled. After all, the path he walked was enough to substitute training.
This spring, summer, and autumn were all very special to Zhou Heng. He had personally planted the seedlings and watched them grow day by day, bear fruits, and finally harvest.
When winter came, Zhou Heng had already recovered.
Winter 11th was a special day because Zhou Heng was going to run a round today.
The four-year-old Su Xiaolu was very cute. She was already a junior doctor. She put away the needle and said seriously, “Now, I announce that Brother Zhou Heng has completely recovered. He will be fine even if he runs many laps. His legs are even healthier than before. Now, when I count to three, Brother Zhou Heng will run three laps around our house.”
In order to watch Su Xiaolu’s plan, Su Sanlang’s family waited neatly at the door to witness it.
Zhou Heng was also very serious.
Su Xiaolu held a carrot in her hand and counted, “One, two, three, run.”
As soon as she finished counting, Zhou Heng ran out.
Su Chong and Su Hua ran with him.
Zhou Heng ran at the front with a smile on his lips. He could feel that his legs were healthy and energetic. He looked at Su Chong and Su Hua beside him and smiled.
Su Chong had the best stamina. He did not pant when running like this. He even asked with a smile, “Little Brother Heng, how do you feel?”
Zhou Heng smiled and replied, “I feel very good.”
Su Hua also smiled and said, “Then let’s compete and see who finishes the ten laps first?”
Zhou Heng nodded. “No problem.”
After circling the house, Su Xiaoling stood beside Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao and smiled gently at them. As for Su Xiaolu, she had tied her hair into two buns and was jumping around shouting, “Big Brother is the best, Brother Zhou Heng is the best, Second Brother is the best…”
The commotion in the Su family made Chen Hu’s family come out to take a look.
The youngest, Chen Shi, could already walk. He clapped his hands beside Madam Qian and shouted, “Brother, you’re the best.”
After ten laps, Su Chong and Su Hua slowed down and let the panting Zhou Heng finish first.
