Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 267 Master's Wife Recognized Su He

The driver drove them to the bookstore, and Mr. Ye helped them pick out the books they needed. The children also bought some things they needed. Then they took the car together to send the master home, and Mr. Ye did not bother to send him home.

Su He and the others did not agree and strongly requested to visit the master's home. Mr. Ye had no choice but to take the five children home. His family was really poor now, but he was not afraid of the children seeing his embarrassment. Anyway, he could come to the Su family and see Mr. Ye. They must have known the situation in advance.

They took a car to the outer city. Some of the families of the criminals lived outside the city, and some lived inside the city. Thanks to the children, the Ye family was able to settle down in the outer city because they performed well in the army. They had only moved into the outer city for a few months, which was much better than many people.

In a small courtyard, there lived 20 people of their family, big and small, and some distant relatives lived outside the city, and there was no room for them in the city. When they had enough money to rent another house in the future, they would let them move in.

However, the yard was kept clean, and the family members' clothes were worn out, but they were all washed clean and neat. Everyone in the family was busy with their own things, and although there were many people, there was no mess at all.

Su He and his five siblings unloaded the apprenticeship gifts from the car one by one and walked into the yard together. Most of the family members had returned, and the old and young came out to greet Ye Yanzhi and look at the five siblings.

Ye Yanzhi introduced them to each other and asked the five children to sit on the stone bench in the yard. The house was full and it was inconvenient for them to go in. In their house, there were only beds, and as long as there were people, they would live in any place that could accommodate people.

Su He and the others knew to give the gifts to the master's wife and other family members in advance. Then they sat down on the stone benches in the yard, which were all covered with woven straw mats. They didn't show any strangeness or politeness and sat down directly.

They greeted each other with the master's family and began to sit down and chat. Those who didn't have stools sat on the ground with straw mats. Everyone chatted with each other, and it was very lively.

The master's wife had been staring at Su He carefully. Although the little girl had grown up, her appearance had not changed. She should be that child! Thinking about it, she wanted to ask Su He to confirm it.

Su He also noticed the look in the master's wife's eyes, and when she looked back, she really recognized her. This was the aunt she had given medicine to two years ago. At that time, a little brother was sick with a fever, and she met him with her parents, so she gave them some of the mint she had picked.

Su He smiled at his master's wife and said, "Master's wife, we are destined to meet again. It's great to see that you are all right!"

The master's wife's eyes turned red, and she smiled with relief and said, "It looks just like you. Thanks to your medicine, your senior brother Jingchen got through the difficult time. Later, the family planted the remaining mint around the house, and it cured the family members many times."

The master's wife excitedly held the master's hand and said, "Yanzhi, it was Su He who gave us the medicine. You must teach these children well. The Su family has been very kind to us!"

The master was full of surprise. This fate was so wonderful. After so many twists and turns, they met again and he became the master of this child.

He said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry! I will teach the children well. They are all good children. Since they have become my disciples, they are just like our own children."

At this time, the older children in the family also came back from work. Ye Jingyan came in with his younger brothers. They saw four strange children in the house. They were curious about who they were. They had never seen them before.

When Master Su He's wife saw them, she waved and called over, saying, "Come here, meet your father's disciples. They are the ones your father just accepted today. Come to our house to get to know them. These are the five siblings: Su He, Su Pei, Su Run, Su Feng, and Su Che."

Ye Jingwen, Ye Jingyan, Ye Jingchen, and several uncles and brothers came together and introduced themselves to each other. They were all young people, and they knew that they were not strangers, so they became familiar with each other in a short while.

The master's wife called Ye Jingchen over alone, pointed at Su He and said with a smile: "This is the little sister who saved you on the way here. You should thank your sister very much."

Ye Jingchen came to Su He, looked at this little sister with round eyes and round face, bowed deeply and said politely: "Thank you for saving my life, little sister, the medicine you sent is really good."

Su He quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "It's just a small favor, it's not worth mentioning. I have ready-made medicine in my backpack. I can't pretend I didn't see it when I saw it."

Master Su He smiled and asked everyone to sit down and talk. They talked about this matter, and Su He's brothers said they really didn't know and had never heard their sister talk about it.

Su He and his master's wife both felt deeply moved by the situation at that time.

Su He said: "At that time, my family's life had just improved, and I followed my parents to the town to sell things. I happened to meet my master's family passing through the town, and so many people came."

The master's wife also sighed: "So many people in our family were abused by the soldiers along the way and were not allowed to eat or rest properly. Chen'er was still young at that time and he started to have a fever. I was so anxious at the time, but there was no way to solve it.

Unexpectedly, a little girl on the side of the road secretly gave me a handful of mint and told me that it could cure diseases. I didn't know what it was, so I quickly stuffed it into Chen'er's mouth and asked him to chew it and eat it, and it actually cured him.

Later, your third uncle said that this was mint, a medicinal herb, so we planted the rest.”
