Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 436 The Su Family's Rise Step by Step

Su He and his group finally returned home. Su He's mother was making preserved eggs at home, looking for something to do. Seeing how happy they were, she quickly arranged meals for them and asked the kitchen to make more meat dishes. Seeing how thin they were made people feel sorry for them.

This is my family. I always feel that I suffer when I go out, and I don't eat well or sleep well. When I return home, I have to eat more, sleep more, and have a good rest.

She watched them eat a big bowl of rice each, and then she felt relieved. Then she asked about their situation outside. When she learned that the children had gone there and the house was well arranged, and the shops were open as usual, and they were still doing business of writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstones, she asked worriedly: "How is the business? Is this your first time doing business like this?"

Su He smiled and said, "If business is not going well, don't worry! You don't have to worry about your brothers' pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the future. Just use the good ones. It's my own property, so I won't feel bad about giving it away, and it will also give me face."

Su Heniang was very happy when she heard this. Her business was growing, and she no longer had to worry about money. When Su He's brothers became officials, they would not do anything unjust for money. In this way, they could be honest officials and truly do things for the people.

Of course, she also knew that this was the wish of the whole family. Only after she had really been caught in the rain did she know how to hold an umbrella for others. She hoped that as few people as possible would experience the suffering that her family had gone through.

Su He's grandmother and grandfather also came over. They came back from the fields and heard that Su He and his friends had returned, so they hurried over here. The old man and the old lady now go to work in the fields whenever they have time. They are getting closer and closer to the land and feel calm and comfortable there.

Watching the spring planting and autumn harvest, and the growth of grains throughout the year, they realized that nowhere is as peaceful as here. They have lived in cities and towns, but they feel that it is not as good as in the village. Many things there must be bought, and it is difficult to move without money. But in the village, everything can be grown and made by yourself, and it doesn't cost much in a year. Even when you need money, you can exchange it with things.

Especially when people get old, their needs are reduced. They don’t need food or clothes, so why do they need money? The children in the family are promising and can earn money. The stable life they lead now can make them feel at ease.

They are now waiting for their grandchildren to grow up and get married, so that they can see the next generation of descendants as soon as possible. Look at the many more children in the village now, it's because life has improved, and the young men and women in the village have no worries about getting married.

The most gratifying thing in life is to see a large family with many children and grandchildren and live a happy life. This was something that many people in the village did not dare to hope for in the past. If they could not even get enough to eat, who would be willing to marry into such a family? Many people died alone, wrapped in a tattered mat and spent their lives.

People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind. For many people, it means coming and going alone and helplessly. Several years of survival are just a flash like a white horse passing by, and they exist like an unknown person.

The Su family has been working hard for so many years, from the glory of their ancestors to the ups and downs along the way. All of them have worked hard and tried their best to live. All of their children and grandchildren have married and had children, and they have worked hard to live for the continuation of the family. They will not be defeated by hardship.

God is fair. This time, our family finally got the chance and the whole family is thriving. The grandchildren have gone to the capital to study, which is not easy in the whole Fengyu City.

It is not easy for a family to have one grandson, but all four of their grandsons passed the exam. At that time, the village set off several large firecrackers, and the whole village felt proud. Now many families in the village have sent their children to study in the town, which is the best proof.

The Su family finally became the big family in the village. A hundred years later, they could tell their ancestors that their children had brought honor to the family.

Su He and his friends used this time to go back and forth between the village and the border town several times, reorganizing the businesses in various places and adding some good things. With Wang Xiaohu's protection in the border town, the business was surprisingly prosperous, and their friendship became deeper and deeper.

They also watched him get married and have children, completing the most important life event. The Su family was the largest supplier of grain to the General's Mansion, and had become a big merchant in the border town.
