After hearing so much from the surrounding people, the other queue members became curious about Su Teng Village.

“Did such a drastic change truly happen in Su Teng Village?” Someone asked.

“It’s great that you guys live there.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Yeah, it feels pretty good, but it hasn’t changed much.”

‘Still, I don’t feel like much has changed. Is it just because there’s a tofu factory? Afterward, we opened some shops and made delicious food.’ She had overlooked many things, and Su Zhengde’s construction team had helped many people. During his free time, he could build houses and earn copper coins.

Old Master Su and Old Madam Su also helped Su Fengchen make preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, and other things. They also bought eggs from many of their neighbors to help them out.

Also, the hotpot restaurant needed ingredients. Buying such things from the villagers put them at ease as they no longer had to worry about being unable to sell their goods.

Su Fengchen had also hired some villagers to make grilled chicken and roast duck. Everyone could earn some copper coins by helping out daily. It seemed small, but it was an excellent thing for the farmers.

Li s.h.i.+ had gone to Northern Song Village the previous night. When he visited his parents, he listened to them talk all night. He told them to go to sleep, but they could not.

Mrs. Li feared falling asleep because she thought everything could be a dream. After all, Li s.h.i.+ had not returned to her for a long time, so she held Li s.h.i.+’s hand tightly and refused to sleep.

Li s.h.i.+’s exhaustion was evident, but he did not feel sleepy. His mother had said a lot to him and was remorseful. Mrs. Li felt she should not have vented her emotions on her son because he was just an innocent child.

Meanwhile, Li Zheng remained quiet on the sidelines.

However, Li s.h.i.+ had heard much from his parents and learned about his eldest and youngest brother’s living situation. It turned out that Mr. and Mrs. Li had helped the two build a house and helped them find wives. Then the daughters-in-law drove Mr. and Mrs. Li out.

The atmosphere in Northern Song Village was incomparable to Su Teng Village. If anyone in Su Teng Village dared to treat their family members poorly, the village chief would chase the rotten eggs out. The villagers would also shun them.

Moreover, Su Teng Village’s customs were well-established, so nothing like that would happen. Still, that was not the case in Northern Song Village.

Many people lived there, but there were a few problematic families. Their village chief could not control them, even if he wanted to.

Although Li s.h.i.+ resented his parents, he was a naturally dutiful person who had never thought of abandoning his parents. He felt terrible, especially after seeing his parents like this.

Mr. and Mrs. Li talked all night and kept apologizing to him. Ultimately, Li s.h.i.+ forgave his parents.

The older couple had no more food at home and relied on the villagers’ help to survive. They would have frozen and starved to death if not for that.

Li s.h.i.+’s brothers did not care about their parents, especially their selfish and bad-tempered wives. Moreover, they were shameless and did not care what the villagers said. They did not care and did what they wanted, no matter what others said behind their backs.

Mr. and Mrs. Li had left an acre of land for Li s.h.i.+, but his eldest and youngest brothers were eyeing it, trying to get it from the older couple. That was why their wives often went to Mr. and Mrs. Li to cause a riot.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were scared out of their witts but still wanted to leave the land for Li s.h.i.+ no matter what. Even though they had heard rumors of Li s.h.i.+’s death, they still had lingering thoughts of him being alive.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Li would not tell their second son such things, Li s.h.i.+ was smart enough to guess them. He was furious after finding out what had happened. “I’m going to settle the score with them.”

Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled her second son back. “Don’t, Li s.h.i.+! They’ll beat you up, especially since your youngest brother’s wife has many brothers. They’re unreasonable and fight whomever they want to. You can’t get hurt.”

“Your mother is right, Li s.h.i.+,” Mr. Li said, “We can rest a.s.sured as long as you’re okay. Don’t hold it against those people.”

The older couple feared their second son would be at a disadvantage going after those people.

“Do you think I don’t know how to fight? I’m not afraid of them!” Li s.h.i.+ said. His entire body was full of confidence at this moment. He knew it was all thanks to his boss that he had learned some kung fu.

Although he did not know how the fight would end, he was fearless because he had seen his boss’s abilities. He knew he had learned real kung fu from her. He also thought it would be a good time for him to practice.

However, Li Liang’s wife, Mrs. Zou, came to make a scene before he could go and talk to his brothers. Naturally, Li s.h.i.+ protected his parents.

Mrs. Zou looked at Li s.h.i.+. “Aren’t you the one who died? I didn’t expect you to be alive still. No wonder your youngest brother said you’re stupid. These two old farts beat you up when you were younger, yet you still want to protect them!

“No wonder these two didn’t take you seriously and bullied you. You’re the stupid one in the family. Hahaha!” Her words were sharp and mean, while her voice was full of ridicule.

It ignited Li s.h.i.+’s anger as he clenched his fists and said, “Try saying that again. Don’t even think about harming my parents. I won’t let you off if you anger them.”

“Tell them to give me that land, and I will leave them alone. Also, give me all the silver they have saved!” Mrs. Zou made a scene while Li Liang hid in the back, not daring to show his face.

When Li s.h.i.+ saw Mrs. Zou’s expression, he became so enraged that he stomped on a rock beside him, crus.h.i.+ng it below his foot. Everyone present was stunned when they saw what he did.

Mrs. Zou’s eyes revealed fear. ‘Is Li s.h.i.+ that powerful?! Is he a martial arts pract.i.tioner?!’

Li s.h.i.+ used his fist to protect his parents. Although he did not directly attack, Mrs. Zou was frightened and ran away with Li Liang. Li s.h.i.+ looked at the stone fragments under his foot and was shocked. He did not expect himself to be so powerful.

He had only learned a few fighting tricks, but his boss later taught him kung fu. Whenever he and Zhou Shan closed the dessert shop and had nothing else to do, they would practice their kung fu in the backyard.

They only practiced daily to pa.s.s the time, but he did not expect to be much stronger than before after practicing for such a long time.

Li s.h.i.+ became excited and was most grateful to his boss. He told his parents to return to their room while he cooked. Fortunately, he had brought some provisions with him this time.

He brought some sesame buns and reheated them. Then he made a stir-fried dish with eggs and a braised pork plate. The family sat together, but Mr. and Mrs. Li started crying.

“Father, mother, don’t cry. Eat.”

It had been a long while since Mr. and Mrs. Li had eggs and meat. They used to think their second son was useless, but after some time, they finally realized which of them was the most dutiful.

They had often ignored and hated their most dutiful and caring son. They would have treated him better if they had known things would turn out this way. Still, they could not turn back time.

Although Mrs. Li was starving, she could not bear to eat. She said, “Eat more, Li s.h.i.+. We didn’t treat you well when you were a child and didn’t feed you good food.’

Li s.h.i.+ said, “That’s all in the past, Mother.”

Now that Li s.h.i.+ had calmed down, Li s.h.i.+ thought he would not be where he was now if he had not gone through much pain in the past..
