Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

Chapter 699 - 699 Departure

699 Departure

Chu Jin felt that Hu Changshou’s mother was so strange.

She spoke very little and was inexplicably down. He did not know what was going on.

He really wanted to gossip, but he knew better. There were some things in every family that they didn’t tell outsiders. Every time they mentioned it, it would open up a scar. No matter how much he wanted to gossip, he couldn’t expose a person’s scar.

He would not do such a rude thing.

Su Xiaozhi watched Su Xiaolu leave until she was out of sight.

She entered the house very quietly and carefully. During the day, she rarely spoke and did not have much presence.

She hoped they would all be fine.

But at night, as soon as she fell asleep, she would fall into those dreams and struggle.

What happened in her dreams made her even more reluctant to speak.

Su Xiaozhi became silent and only worked in silence. Everything at home was arranged by Madam Cao. She just had to be obedient.

Hu Changshou settled things home. Before he went to the capital, he didn’t sleep all night. It was morning when he left home.

Su Xiaozhi leaned against the door like a tree and watched him leave quietly.

Madam Cao wiped her tears and still said to him with the gentlest and kindest smile, “Go, go. You don’t have to worry about home. Grandma is still in good health. I’ll take good care of your younger brother. When you get married and have children in the future, Grandma still has to take care of her great-grandson.”

Hu Changyang pursed his lips and looked at Hu Changshou with reluctance.

In the end, he couldn’t help but turn to Madam Cao and say, “Grandma, I’ll send Big Brother off for a while.”

Hu Changshou nodded and looked at his brother. He repeatedly hesitated and struggled in his heart about whether he should tell him about that matter. Once he went, it would not be a matter of three to five days. It would be a luxury to see them once a year. He was afraid of Su Xiaozhi. He was really afraid.

Hu Changyang looked at Hu Changshou many times. After walking for a while, he stopped in his tracks and said to Hu Changshou, “Brother, I’m not a child anymore. I’m also a grown man. I can also bear the responsibility you once took, so don’t worry. I’m not as fragile as you think.”

Hu Changshou turned to look at Hu Changyang. Hu Changyang was indeed a half-grown boy. The childishness of a child had disappeared from his eyes at some point and he was slowly maturing.

Hu Changshou smiled slightly. He reached out and touched Hu Changyang’s head. “You’ve grown up. I’ve worried too much.”

Hu Changyang also smiled. “Brother, so don’t worry too much. Let me share your burdens.”

Hu Changshou smiled. “It’s still early. Let’s go to the teahouse and talk.”

Hu Changshou brought Hu Changyang to the teahouse. The two brothers sat down. Hu Changshou told Hu Changyang about what had happened before he went to the foreign land.

It had been a few months since the incident. He no longer had the determination and grief he had at that time.

As Hu Changyang listened, his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.

“It’s all in the past. I’m fine now.”

After saying that, Hu Changshou smiled faintly. At that time, his heart was like dead ashes and he had the thought of dying.

Hu Changyang stood up and walked to Hu Changshou’s side. He hugged him tightly and called out in a choked voice, “Brother.”

“She seems to have changed now. After all, she gave birth to us. Grandma said that she doesn’t have her own opinions. She’s right. When Father was around in the past, our father was her sky. She was always guided by Father. At that time, we were actually quite happy. If she’s like this now, it’s not like we can’t tolerate her, but if she’s still like before, being manipulated by those people, Yang, I hope you won’t be soft-hearted. She chose her life, but don’t make your own life difficult because of her.”

Hu Changshou said seriously. He had been conflicted for a long time before he decided to say this.

He clearly no longer had any expectations for her, but he would still worry and be sad because of her.

Hu Changyang held back his tears and nodded in a choked voice. “Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely remember your words.”

Apart from being his mother, Su Xiaozhi had never made him happy.

Ever since he could remember, Su Xiaozhi had been sticking to her parent’s. At that time, he did not understand, but now, he did. He still did not understand why she stuck to that side even when they were clearly not good to her at all.

Even if the people over there had passed away this time and left her gold, how could what she had lost be replaced by that bit of gold?

Knowing that Hu Changshou had brushed shoulders with death several times this time, Hu Changyang felt pained and uncomfortable. He knew what Hu Changshou was worried about, so he promised solemnly that he would definitely live a good life. No matter what Su Xiaozhi did, he would never let her affect his life. If she really did not change, he would pretend that he did not have this mother.

“Alright, go back quickly. If you’re late, Grandma will be worried.”

Hu Changshou ruffled Hu Changyang’s hair and smiled.

Hu Changyang hugged Hu Changshou tightly and said softly, “Brother, be careful on the way. You must be well.”

Hu Changshou nodded.

Hu Changshou felt much more at ease when they separated.

Hu Changshou came to Su Xiaolu’s house. Su Xiaolu, her masters, and Chu Jin had packed up.

Chu Jin was practicing his sword with Old Wu. Gui You would help Old Wu. While he guided Old Wu, Chu Jin was also correcting his shortcomings.

Seeing that Hu Changshou was here, Chu Jin smiled and put away his sword. He chuckled and said, “Let’s not practice anymore. It’s time for us to set off.”

It was already early October.

By the time they slowly rushed back to the capital, it would already be November.

Su Xiaolu and Chu Jin drove the carriage. Gui You, Old Wu, and Hu Changshou sat inside and set off for the capital.

The days of traveling were leisurely. Although it was called traveling, it was actually jaunting.

As it was beneficial for Chu Jin to practice swordsmanship with Old Wu, he couldn’t be happier to spend more time traveling.

Hu Changshou was also practicing his abilities.

When they arrived at a lake, Su Xiaolu controlled the lake water and turned it into a tornado. Hu Changshou brought the fish inside over.

Water control and telekinesis worked well together. They even saved energy on hunting.

Special abilities also needed to be cultivated, and there were many things that needed to be enlightened by oneself.

As they approached the capital, they encountered many people from other countries. They could be distinguished from the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty at a glance.

During a meal, Chu Jin said, “The merchants of the Li Dynasty are almost in the capital. It seems that the princess and envoys who came to ask for marriage are also about to arrive.”

...

“Ahem—marriage?”

When Su Xiaolu heard the word ‘marriage’, she instantly thought of Zhou Zhi. The only royal who was at the right age and unmarried was Zhou Zhi.

The other princes were only twelve or thirteen years old. It was impossible for a princess from another dynasty to choose such young boys.

Old Wu and Gui You looked at each other. Old Wu was inexplicably nervous. Why was this brat so concerned!!

Chu Jin replied casually, “That’s right. Didn’t the Wisdom King tell you? He was in a hurry to return to the capital because of this. I thought you knew.”

Chu Jin was also a little surprised that Su Xiaolu did not know. He looked at Su Xiaolu and recalled the day Su Xiaolu underwent Tribulation Transcendence. Zhou Zhi risked his life to block the lightning for her. Chu Jin immediately understood. An unbelievable and mysterious thought appeared in his mind.
