Chapter 654 - 654 Returning to Town
654 Returning to Town
Why did she have to make many friends to be happy? Why was one not enough?.
He was not happy at all that the two old men had evaluated him like that.
He was even more unhappy that Su Xiaolu did not like him.
Li Yu picked up the paper with Su Xiaolu’s name on it. His lips curled into a sinister smile and he whispered, “Since you’re so prejudiced against me, I’ll have to provoke you.”!!
If they wanted to avoid him, he would not let them have their way.

In late February, spring came, and many dead trees sprouted new branches. Everything was green and it was not so cold.
Along the way, there was beautiful scenery everywhere.
As soon as the weather became better, many flowers bloomed.
Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and so on.
The three of them walked around the north. Su Xiaolu saw many special sceneries.
Along the way, they also went to the foreign lands a few times. Their harvest was not big. As the temperature warmed, the snow and ice in the foreign land melted. There was no place for beasts to live. There were mostly herbs, but there was no danger. All the herbs had been picked.
Further in, people had scruples. When they reached a certain boundary, people automatically stopped going deeper.
It was not until early May that Su Xiaolu and the others entered Furongzhou and were about to return to their hometown, Southern Mountain Village, that a fog appeared. That was where Su Xiaolu’s hometown was. The masters and disciple decided to take a look.
This fog had not appeared for long. There were faint beast roars. Ordinary people did not dare to approach.
To ordinary people, this was fear. Therefore, the government immediately sent an army to guard it.
Gui You and Old Wu received the news immediately. The government was gathering martial arts experts to enter together.
Priority was given to people with superpowers.
On the 11th of May, Su Xiaolu and her masters arrived at Goathorn Town.
Su Xiaolu was a little emotional to return to this familiar place after two years.
When she arrived at her doorstep, Su Xiaolu heard a human voice coming from inside. She was stunned.
How could there be someone in her house? Not only was there someone in her house, but there was also someone in Chen Hu’s house next door.
At this moment, the next door opened and a woman looked at Su Xiaolu for a few seconds. The woman did not recognize Su Xiaolu, but Su Xiaolu recognized her. She was from the Chen family, Chen Long’s wife, Madam Yang.
Madam Yang did not recognize Su Xiaolu dressed as a man. She glanced up and down and said, “Who are you? Are you looking for a place to stay? My house is empty. It only costs one tael of silver a day.”
Madam Yang smiled and even stretched out a finger to gesture.
A tael of silver. In the past, they could only see it a few times a year. Now that a large group of martial arts practitioners had rushed here to enter the foreign land to search for treasures, they were very generous. They had money on hand and paid a tael of silver a day without blinking.
Madam Yang looked at Su Xiaolu and her masters like they were hens that could lay golden eggs.
Su Xiaolu did not speak before the door opened.
Madam Li came out. She also had a flattering smile on her face and said to Su Xiaolu and the other two, “Sir, there’s an empty room at my house too. It’s cheaper for three people to stay.”
Madam Yang was immediately unhappy. “Madam Li, what do you mean?”
Madam Li was not to be outdone. “Chen family, you don’t have to be angry with me. The three guests are standing at my door.”
Madam Li rushed out when she heard the voice. Before she could take a closer look, she started to argue with Madam Yang.
“Your house?”
Su Xiaolu mocked.
Madam Li agreed happily. “Yes, my house—”
As she agreed, her gaze landed on Su Xiaolu and her masters. She did not have a deep impression of Gui You, but she knew Old Wu.
Madam Li did not recognize Su Xiaolu in men’s clothes, but when she recognized Old Wu, Madam Li’s smile froze on her face.
She looked at Su Xiaolu for a while and her expression became uglier and uglier.
“We went to the capital, but we’re not dead. When did my house become yours?”
Su Xiaolu’s tone was a little mocking. She looked at Madam Li and then at Madam Yang.
Madam Yang also realized that something was wrong. She looked at Old Wu and remembered after a while.
This was Doctor Wu from the village in the past.
Looking at Su Xiaolu again, Madam Yang immediately became scared.
She quickly went home and closed the door.
Madam Li looked at Su Xiaolu and couldn’t help but wonder who she was. After the fallout back then, the two families didn’t meet much. If it were Su Chong and Su Hua, Madam Li would still be able to recognize them. She only felt that Su Xiaolu looked familiar. She knew that Su Xiaolu was Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s child, but Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao only had two sons, Su Chong and Su Hua. Su Xiaolu’s age didn’t match them.
Su Xiaolu walked straight into the house.
Gui You and Old Wu followed silently.
Su Xiaolu returned to her familiar home. In the courtyard, two young children were crawling on the ground. Everything was messy.
“Sister-in-law, are there going to be guests staying over? Seriously, why didn’t you tell me?”
Madam Zhou came over from the back room. She had just gone to the toilet and only heard the sound. She was also extremely anxious. She could not let Madam Li take all the earnings.
When she came out and saw Su Xiaolu and her masters, Madam Zhou was stunned.
She had a good memory and recognized Su Xiaolu at a glance.
“Si-Simei.”
Madam Zhou stuttered as she called Su Xiaolu.
Madam Li was stunned for a moment before reacting. She suddenly realized that it was Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao’s fourth daughter. She was dressed as a man, so she did not recognize her.
Madam Li looked around and realized that there were only three people. She smiled and said to Su Xiaolu, “Aiya, Simei is back. Quick, let’s go in and sit down. In the past, it was all our fault. Now that the world has changed, we’re still from the same family. Let’s forget about the unhappiness of the past. Your eldest cousin, Su Chao, second cousin, Su Cai, and third cousin, Su Shun, are all good people now. If Chong and Hua need anything, just tell us. After all, we’re related by blood. We’re better than outsiders.”
Madam Zhou also beamed and echoed fawningly, “There’s also Second Uncle and Second Uncle’s family, Su Lei and Su Qing. They can be ordered around however you want.”
Su Xiaolu walked into the house.
Soon, Su Dalang, Su Erlang, and the others heard the commotion and came out. The two of them were from a big family, so it was a little crowded for them to live here.
But even so, neither family would give in to the other. They each kept a room and used it to earn money from outsiders.
Knowing that it was Su Xiaolu, Su Dalang and Su Erlang’s expressions changed, but they instantly recovered.
It didn’t matter as long as it wasn’t Su Chong and Su Hua.
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, come quickly. This is your Third Uncle’s youngest daughter. Her name is…”
Madam Li called for her three sons, but she could not remember Su Xiaolu’s name.
Actually, Madam Li did not remember Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu’s names. As time passed, she forgot about them.
Madam Zhou also smiled and called out to her son, “Lei, Qing, come. This is your third uncle’s youngest daughter, Xiaolu.”
Madam Zhou was overjoyed that Madam Li did not remember. She did not forget Su Xiaolu’s name.
