On the other side, Su Ergou came back with three little cuties in high spirits!

“Jie! We’re back!”

Su Xiaoxiao also just arrived home: “Eh? Why were there only four of you? Where’s Dad?”

Su Ergou saw the firewood at her feet at a glance, and frowned: “Jie, you went to pick up firewood? I can do this kind of work! You don’t need to go to the mountain!”

“I want to lose weight.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “You haven’t said where Dad has gone.”

Su Ergou said, “Oh, Dad was called by someone to the town.”

Medical center.

“Brother Su, please come here.”

A young man took Su Cheng to the tea room on the second floor. “Brother Dao is waiting for you inside.”

Su Cheng looked around and muttered, “Why do you come to such a place to drink tea?”

The young man smiled and said nothing.

Su Cheng entered the room.

The room was very dark, and there was a strong smell of Diedajiu and Jinchuang medicine coming to his nose.

-Die da Jiu (跌打酒) : is a common liniment used as traditional medicine to heal external injuries, such as bruises sore muscles, ligament, tendon tears, strains, and even minor fractures.

-Jin Chuang Medicine / Jin Chuang Yao / 金疮药
It is a traditional Chinese medicine, its name is often heard in Chinese historical costume movies, dramas, and novels. All martial artists usually had this medicine. This medicine is a powder, it is used to treat bruises, cut injuries, stop bleeding, etc. 

He frowned involuntarily.

Zhang Dao sat on the mahogany chair, and the dim light appropriately concealed his pale and weak face.

-Mahogany chair

He smiled and said, “Brother Su is really a busy man. You haven’t come to see me, this little brother1 for so many years.”

1Little brother : it doesn’t mean the biological younger brother, but it’s just that Zhang Dao used to have some relationship with Su Cheng in the past, and they were close enough with each other that they called each other brothers. Because Zhang Dao was younger than Su Cheng, he called himself the little brother.

Su Cheng laughed and strode over to sit down on the chair beside Zhang Dao, but a gangster  behind Zhang Dao pulled the chair back.

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Dao said solemnly, “Insolence! Still not give Brother Su a seat!?”

“Yes!” The gangster pushed the chair back into the place.

What a show off, it just an old trick.

Su Cheng sat down calmly and asked Zhang Dao with a smile: “Why did my brother look for me today?”

Zhang Dao said with a light smile: “Brother Su says this just like we’re already become distant. if there’s no problem, can’t we be nostalgic with each other about the past?”

“Your fucking nostalgic…”

Before Su Cheng could finish his swear words, Zhang Dao interrupted him: “Fifth master sent someone to look for me a few days ago, and asked if I would like to follow him to Fucheng.”

Fifth master was a ruthless person that even the county magistrate dared not provoke easily.

Su Cheng changed his scolding attitude and said with a big smile: “My brother is under the fifth master’s care, you would definitely have a bright future.”

“This man was sent by the Fifth Master.” Zhang Dao pointed to the gangster behind him.

“No wonder, I see he is extraordinary.” Su Cheng smiled and said, “Is my brother here going to say goodbye to me? Let’s go, I’ll invite you to Chunfenglou for a few drinks!”

Zhang Dao suddenly grinned: “It’s unnecessary to go drinking. If Brother Su really cared for me, why don’t you just give me a small gift.”

Su Cheng said cheerfully: “What do you want? As long as I have it, I will definitely get it for you!”

Zhang Dao smiled and said, “You have it. It’s at your house.”

Su Cheng frowned, “At my house?”

Zhang Dao smiled maliciously: “Your baby girl, Su Daya.

Su Xiaoxiao tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, then she went out from the back door of the kitchen.

Behind the kitchen next door, Mrs. Wu was squatting on the ground picking corn. It was for Niudan to eat. He suddenly said this morning that he wanted to eat stir-fried corn with green pepper.

-Stir-fried corn with green pepper

“Why are you always working?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly appeared, and Mrs. Wu was shocked again.

Alas, she was so timid.

She (Su Xiaoxiao) still hadn’t done anything bad to her (Mrs. Wu).

Even though Su Xiaoxiao showed her kindness to Mrs. Wu in the last two meetings, it was probably because of her bad reputation in the past that Mrs. Wu was still very afraid of her.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a corn cob and patted it in the palm of her hand: “Mrs. Wu, do me a favor.”

Mrs. Wu took a deep breath. It finally came. Su Pangya was going to blackmail her.

After Zhang Dao finished saying those words, Su Cheng’s face turned cold at a visible speed.
