The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1260 - 1264: The Pact (12)

Zhang Yang still wanted to say if his mother could, considering everything, put aside the longstanding feud between the two families and accept Su Xiaomei.

In truth, if you really looked into it, neither family could pinpoint any specific major conflict. Moreover, they lived in separate villages and rarely saw each other to begin with. How could there be any major conflicts? It was all just the curse of the old ancestors.

However, before Zhang Yang could explain this to his mother, Mrs. Zhang was so stubborn and obstinate that she didn’t even want to hear her son’s explanation, firmly opposing him.

Her cold and hard attitude made Zhang Yang’s heart grow cold, leaving him with no opportunity to voice his thoughts.

She thought that her son, who was supposedly living well in the city without needing family support, was capable on his own, never suspecting that perhaps there might be another truth.

Now, with the well-guarded item gone, Zhang Yang was beside himself with fear and dared not make a sound.

Now, the words left unsaid, with the person gone and the item lost, left him with nothing else to say.

On this bleak rainy night, Zhang Yang sat slumped on the ground, wearing only thin clothing, lost in thought and trembling...

It wasn’t until near dawn when the heavy rain, which had pounded half the night, finally subsided, that he dragged his cold, stiff body back onto the bed.

When the sun had risen high in the sky and Zhang Yang hadn’t gotten up yet, Mrs. Zhang, puzzled, went to wake him and was shocked to find his body burning hot, his cheeks flushed, and mumbling incoherently as he tossed and turned in bed.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly pulled back the covers from her son and pushed his body, "Yang’er, Yang’er, wake up...."

But no matter how much Mrs. Zhang called him, Zhang Yang remained muddled and asleep.

"Yang’er, wake up, what are you talking about.... Get up, I’ll take you to see a doctor...."

When Mrs. Zhang moved closer to Zhang Yang, she faintly heard him murmuring in fear.

"No, no... don’t come for me, I was wrong, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...."

Mrs. Zhang shook her son vigorously, extremely uneasy, "What nonsense are you talking about, sorry to whom?"

"Don’t come for me.... Su Li...."

The mention of Su Li burst like thunder in Mrs. Zhang’s mind, startling her so much her face turned pale, her hands started trembling, and she continued shaking Zhang Yang.

The person on the bed finally showed a slight reaction, moaning softly, struggling to open his eyes.

Zhang Yang groaned in discomfort, looking confusedly at his mother who was gazing at him with a complex expression.

He asked, puzzled, "Mom, why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhang replied irritably, "If I wasn’t here to check on you, you could die of fever and no one would know...."

Zhang Yang touched his burning forehead, smiling bitterly, "I seem to have a fever."

"Yes indeed...." Mrs. Zhang hesitated before asking with a trace of unease, "Yang’er, do you remember what you just said?"

"What? What did I say?"

Mrs. Zhang was not one to hide her emotions. She wanted to let it go but found herself uncontrollably speaking rapidly, "Just now, you were apologizing to someone, saying... not to come after you...."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang’s previously stable emotions became agitated.

The fear in his eyes was unmistakable, his facade of calmness instantly shattered by his own mother, leading him to near breakdown.

"Mom... I.... she came for me...." Zhang Yang stammered, not knowing how to express himself, "She wants me to fulfill our previous agreement."

Mrs. Zhang’s face twitched, fear flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, her expression turning fierce, "Don’t be afraid Yang’er, with mom here, if she really dares come for you, I will find someone to deal with her. I’ll make sure she won’t even be a ghost."

"Let’s not talk about this now, get up, let’s go see a doctor.... with this persistent fever, your brain might get damaged...."

Upon hearing the news that Zhang Yang was in shock and had a persistent fever, the Su Family had already packed up all the important things in their home.

When Su Li came out of her room, she was shocked by the grandeur of what the Su Family was doing.

"What are you all up to?"

Old Su had a large bundle on his back, weighing down his thin body.

Su University and Su Er also carried quite a bit, nearly all the pots and pans, all the household belongings, seemingly weighing them down.

Mrs. Su and Su’s eldest sister-in-law didn’t have free hands, even the arms of two semi-grown boys were filled with stuff.

Seeing Su Li come out, the previously tense atmosphere immediately lightened.

Mrs. Su explained with a smile, "Now there’s no work in the fields, your brothers want to go to the city to find work, so I thought why not move the whole family to the city for a while, your two nephews have grown so big and haven’t seen the city yet."

This reason seemed far-fetched, Mrs. Su nervously tugged at her bundle’s strap, her eyes evasive, as if afraid the person in front of her would ask further.

However, Su Li readily agreed, "Alright."

Hearing Su Li’s reply, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Su: "Xiaomei, you rest for a bit, I’ll have your things packed in no time."

True to her word, Mrs. Su and Su’s eldest sister-in-law had several small bundles ready in the time it took Su Li to drink a cup of water.

It was the hottest time at noon, and the villagers who had worked all morning were taking a nap after lunch, on their cool chairs, to save up energy for the afternoon work.

So, at noon, the whole village was quiet, and nobody was wandering outside.

The Su Family took this opportunity, with their belongings, and left quietly.

"Xiaomei, sit on the bicycle, let your second brother push you."

Su Er had managed to get two Phoenix brand bicycles from somewhere, Su University pushed one, and he pushed another himself. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Su Li: "I won’t sit, the back seat can hold a lot more stuff, so it’ll be easier for you."

Judging by how familiar Su University and Su Er were with this rare bicycle, they must have used it frequently, indicating that the Su Family was wealthier than Su Li had imagined.

The original owner of this girl was truly pampered by the Su Family, innocent and romantic, probably not even aware of what her family’s real condition was.

But, with the original owner’s personality, no matter how much the Su Family spoiled her, they probably wouldn’t dare to give her everything.

The village where the Su Family previously lived was called Chen Family Village, with most of the people there having the surname Chen.

Chen Family Village had fertile lands, and its residents were mostly self-sufficient. The only downside was its distance from the city.

Following the Su Family, Su Li crossed a mountain and traveled a long way, finally entering the city in the dark.
