Chapter 107: Don’t Be Discouraged, You Can Still Do It

An icy glint flashed across Su Ying’s eyes, and she pretended not to see them as she walked past them.

When Wang Lang saw that Su Ying had returned, he crawled on his knees to her and kowtowed. “Mistress, 1 know 1 shouldn’t have come again. 1 don’t care if 1 die or not, but I hope that Mistress can give Furong and my wife another chance and let them stay.”

“Mistress, I beg you. Please take us in.”

“Mistress, we know we’re wrong. We’ve let you and Master down… Please give us a chance to live.”

Wang Furong and Madam Zhou cried and wailed as they kowtowed to Su Ying.

When Su Ying’s path was blocked, her eyes were filled with hostile anger. “Wang Lang, if you don’t want me to tear your wife and daughter apart, then tell them to get lost.”

“Mis… Mistress…” Wang Lang looked at Su Ying in shock. He didn’t expect her to be so heartless. What did Furong and his wife do wrong? Even if his mother was in the wrong, she was already dead. Was Su Ying still going to hold this against them?

…..

Su Ying stopped in her tracks momentarily and looked at them icily. “Get lost.”

Wang Lang’s face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground on his butt, staring at Su Ying in disbelief.

Wang Furong looked at Su Ying’s back profile and felt tremendous hatred in her heart. What right did she have to forbid them from going back?

When Cheng Ming saw that they were still kneeling, he didn’t want them to bother Su Ying anymore so he said icily, “You guys can always live in the empty building next door. There are so many wastelands here and there are mountains. You won’t starve to death. Instead of begging Mistress, you should think about how to live your own lives well in the future.”

With that, Cheng Ming turned around and left with Su Ying.

“Father, Su Ying is too much. She can’t wait for us to die,” Wang Furong said spitefully after Su Ying and the others left.

Wang Lang clenched his fists. Cheng Ming was right. That old woman was dead, so the building she lived in was empty now. They could live there for the time being, but they would have to think of ways to look for food and water.

“We won’t beg her. I won’t let you two starve to death. Get up, let’s go!”

“Father, why don’t we think of a way to beg Master? We haven’t even met Master. He’ll definitely take us in again on your account. Moreover, that woman Su Ying killed Grandma. Don’t you want to take revenge for Grandma?” Wang Furong wasn’t willing to leave just like that.

A hint of hatred quickly flashed across Wang Lang’s eyes, and he clenched his fists even more tightly. Xiao Jin had already told them to leave, so he definitely wouldn’t change his mind. He stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

When Su Ying returned to the courtyard, Lin Zhuyu ran over with a furtive look on her face. “Mistress, did you see those people kneeling outside?”

“I saw them,” Su Ying replied.

“You didn’t agree to let them come back, did you?”

Su Ying looked at her. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

Lin Zhuyu shook her head hurriedly. “No, no, no. Afastress. You’re the smartest person in the world!”

“The next time you see them, throw cow dung at them. Aim for their faces.”

Lin Zhuyu was utterly speechless.

“Mistress, are you serious?” she thought.

“Mother…”

Su Ying walked into the courtyard and saw the two little ones and Lin Sheng doing the martial arts squat there.

When the younger toddler Ling saw Su Ying, she pouted and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

“Oh? Are you practicing martial arts?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to teach them martial arts? Then they can start with the basics,” said Xiao Jin, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

“Mother, Ling is hungry.”

Su Ying couldn’t bear to see Ling like this and wanted to go over and carry her, but she said after some thought, “My good babies, hold on a little longer. Mother will give you some snacks in a while.”

Ling perked up when she heard that there were snacks to eat.

Su Ying sniffed for a while and subconsciously walked to the kitchen in the backyard. She saw Bai Shuang and the others busy cooking.

The rich aroma of meat made Su Ying subconsciously swallow her saliva.

“Bai Shuang, what did Uncle Hea make today? Why is it so fragrant?”

Bai Shuang raised her head and said, “Mistress, you are back. Uncle said that he would make chicken stew for Mistress today. They picked up some mushrooms when they went to the mountain to chop wood. He said that he would use them to make chicken stew tonight.”

Tiger Might and the others sent over more than a dozen chickens, three of which were roosters. Uncle Hea was afraid that too many roosters would kill the hens, so he caught one to cook.

“What sort of mushroom?”

Bai Shuang picked up the mushrooms from the basket and showed them to Su Ying.

Su Ying looked at the red and green mushrooms and thought that they were really beautiful. However, she thought of an old folk song that her battle comrade had once sung to her.

Red red brollies,

White white sticks,

After eating,

lie down stiff…

The more Su Ying thought about it, the more worried she felt. She felt that she should bring it into her interspatial store for further testing.

“Come, Bai Shuang. Let me see those mushrooms. I think they’re quite pretty. 1’11 try to memorize their appearance. The next time 1 go up the mountain, I’ll pick some back too.”

Bai Shuang handed the winnowing pan to Su Ying without any hesitation.

Su Ying took the winnowing pan and went to the outhouse nearby.

As soon as she closed the door, she entered her interspatial store.

After making sure that there was no problem with the fungi, she came out.

“Mis… Mistress, these… these mushrooms can’t… can’t be eaten before they’re cooked.” Bai Shuang looked at Su Ying in shock when she saw Su Ying coming out of the outhouse with the winnowing pan and wiping her mouth at the same time.

Su Ying paused. How was she going to explain to her that she didn’t go to the outhouse to secretly gobble down some mushrooms?

“Here. Give this to Uncle Hea.”

Bai Shuang hurriedly took it and rushed into the kitchen. Mistress must be famished. They had to cook faster.

“Uncle Hea, let’s work faster. Afastress is so hungry that she has run to the outhouse to secretly eat mushrooms!”

Su Ying was utterly speechless.

During dinner, Bai Shuang didn’t give Su Ying a bowl. Instead, she brought her a huge soup bowl heaped full of rice. She was afraid that Su Ying wouldn’t feel full.

Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying’s big bowl and silently picked up all the meat in his bowl and put them into hers.

Burp!

Su Ying finally put down her bowl after she was full.

“Mistress, are you full? If you’re not full, there’s still more in the pot.”

“It’s enough, Bai Shuang.”

Bai Shuang only cleared away the bowls and chopsticks after seeing Su Ying’s satisfied face.

“Tian Mu, is everything in the house almost settled?”

“Mistress, the house is almost complete. There are only a few pieces of furniture that haven’t been completed yet. Once the furniture is done, the house will be fully completed.”

Su Ying nodded. “Okay. You keep a few people here tomorrow. 1’11 get Cheng Ming to bring the rest to clear up the wastelands.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Outside the courtyard, Number One, who had just eaten his fill, silently facepalmed. This house had just been built, and now, they had to go to the wasteland. When would this hard life of free labor end?

“Leader, tonight’s chicken dipping sauce is really delicious.” The silly, foolish-looking Number Two sat on the ground with a contented expression, looking very much like a farmer with no ambition.

Number One’s heart ached even more. While Su Ying ate meat, they were satisfied with just some chicken dipping sauce!

The bandit leader walked over and patted Number One’s shoulder. “Brother, don’t be discouraged.. You can still do it!”
