Chapter 336: Returned Alive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Master Su and Madam Wang brought Su Dalang and Su Erlang back. Just like a few days ago, they went back after forcing Su Sanlang into a corner. However, they still came back the next day. In any case, doing this would not cause them any losses.
But if they forced Su Sanlang back, wouldn’t they be able to take a share of what Su Sanlang had now?
This was no harm to them. The worst outcome was that they would not get along. That would be no different from now.
As soon as the Su family left, Su Sanlang closed his eyes in exhaustion.
Madam Zhao cried silently in the corner. When would such days end…!!
Chen Hu frowned. “Brother.”
He didn’t know what to say. He wanted to comfort Su Sanlang, but he realized that he didn’t know how to comfort him at all.
Su Sanlang took a few heavy breaths. He opened his eyes and said to Chen Hu’s family, “Hu, Sister-in-law, since you’re here too. I have something to discuss with you.”
Chen Hu and Madam Qian immediately looked at Su Sanlang solemnly. Chen Hu said, “Big Brother, just tell us. We’ll help you with anything.”
Chen Hu looked at Su Sanlang with a burning gaze. He did not say what he was thinking because he firmly believed that Su Chong and the others were still alive. But if they were really gone, then his sons would be Su Sanlang’s sons, and Chen Shi and Chen Xing would be Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s sons.
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu and said solemnly, “Hu, I’m going to Furongzhou. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Xiaoling and her mother.”
Su Sanlang decided to go to Furongzhou. He didn’t want to wait like this anymore. He was in too much pain from dealing with the Su family’s coercion every day. He had been unable to sleep for the past few days.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Before Chen Hu could speak, Madam Zhao came out from the corner and said in a hoarse voice, “Sanlang, I’ll go with you.”
She did not want to wait any longer. Every day was endless torture.
Su Xiaoling gritted her teeth and said, “Father, mother, I’ll go with you.”
Su Xiaoling did not want to stay either. Their family always stayed together. After so many years, no hardship should separate them.
If they went together, they would bear all the consequences together.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu pulled Su Xiaoling. “Xiaoling…”
Chen Hu felt terrible too. He said, “Brother, Sister-in-law, since we’re going, we’ll go with you. We can take care of each other.”
If anything really happened, he could still hold on when this family could not hold on. Chen Hu thought so. He wanted to go together and bring them back safely.
As Chen Hu spoke, he instructed Madam Qian, “Darling, I’ll go with Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law on this trip. Take good care of the children at home. Daniu and Erniu are engaged, and their in-laws are also reliable people. If anything happens, they won’t sit back and do nothing.”
Madam Qian pursed her lips and nodded. Chen Shi was already a grown-up, and Chen Xing was sensible. She was not afraid.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao had helped their family through their most difficult times. Now that they were in trouble, they naturally had to help. Madam Qian looked at Chen Hu and said firmly, “Sanlang, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the family and wait for you to come back.”
The couple’s hearts were united. There were many things that they never needed to explain. They could read each other’s expressions and gazes and support each other wholeheartedly.
Chen Hu nodded heavily, then said to Su Sanlang, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, let’s pack up and leave now!”
Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu and said, “Hu, you don’t have to go…”
Madam Zhao also said, “Brother Hu, this is enough. Stay at home…”
Before Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao could finish, Chen Hu’s eyes turned red as he said, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, stop. I have to go on this trip. We’re brothers who have passed the recognition of the heavens and earth. Let’s not say anything else. Let’s hurry up and go early.”
He had to do what he had decided.
Chen Shi frowned and said, “Father, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the family. Don’t worry.”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were also very determined. “Father, there’s still us.”
Although his younger son was young, he still had the two of them as his elder sisters.
Chen Hu nodded, his eyes filled with tears of relief. “You’re all good children.”
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s eyes were red, and Su Xiaoling’s eyes were filled with tears.
Su Sanlang said, “Okay, then I won’t say anything else. Pack a few sets of clothes and leave immediately.”
At this point, Su Sanlang stopped talking.
Madam Qian brought Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu and immediately helped pack.
In less than 15 minutes, they packed the luggage and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a voice that shocked everyone came from outside the house.
“Father, mother, open the door, we’re back…”
Su Xiaolu’s voice made Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others in the courtyard tremble. At this moment, they felt as if a lifetime had passed.
For a moment, everyone was stunned and did not react.
Outside the house, Su Xiaolu saw that there was no response and couldn’t wait anymore. She jumped onto the eaves and landed lightly in the courtyard. She looked at the family and asked gloomily, “Father, mother, sister, why are you carrying a bag? Where are you going?”
Seeing Su Xiaolu alive in front of them, Su Xiaoling cried almost instantly. Her voice was choked. “Xiaolu—wu—”
The moment she opened his mouth, she whimpered.
Madam Zhao also cried instantly, her voice trembling. “Simei… is it really you?”
Su Sanlang’s eyes were red. He reached out as if he wanted to touch her but didn’t dare to.
Su Xiaolu did not know what had happened. She was also a little worried when she saw her family like this. She took the initiative to walk to Su Sanlang’s side and hugged Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and Su Xiaoling. She squeezed their hands and said, “It’s me, it’s me. Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother are all back.”
“It’s really Xiaolu and the rest. Daniu, Erniu, open the door.”
Chen Hu said excitedly.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu came back to their senses and were about to open the door when Chen Shi reacted first and quickly opened the door to let Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng in.
Chen Shi hugged Su Chong excitedly and said, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you’re finally back. You’re finally back. Let’s see who still dares to bully Uncle and Auntie.”
As he spoke, Chen Shi’s eyes turned red. Over the past few days, Madam Wang, Old Master Su, and the others had come every day. Every time, it was extremely uncomfortable.
At last, they had all returned safely.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng entered the courtyard. Su Chong and Su Hua looked at Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, who did not look right. They walked over and hugged them. The two brothers said in unison, “Father, mother, I’m unfilial. I came back late and made you worry.”
