Chapter 95: Letter to Home Madam Zhao sighed. She smiled gently and said, “I believe Heng will remember you too.”

After Su Chong and Su Hua recovered, Madam Zhao did not coax them like before.

It was inevitable that people would feel many uncomfortable emotions as they grew up, whether they wanted to or not.

However, the only thing that would not change was that no matter where you were, the person you missed would also miss you.

Zhou Heng came to their house and lived with Su Chong and Su Hua. It was normal for them to feel reluctant to let him go. However, they treated Zhou Heng well, and they believed that Zhou Heng would not forget it.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t be sad. Little Brother Heng will also remember you. Perhaps he will come back to visit us in the future.”

Su Xiaoling said with a faint smile. Even though she felt a little sad, she still comforted Su Chong and Su Hua.

Would Zhou Heng miss them when he got home?

Perhaps he would. Perhaps he would forget it in a few years. But even so, she hoped he would be happy and not have so much on his mind. The knowledge he had taught them would never be forgotten in this lifetime. They would always be grateful to him.

Su Xiaoling lowered her eyes and did not stop picking at the vegetables. She even sighed in her heart.

“Let’s hope so.”

Su Hua said softly. He was very reluctant to let Zhou Heng go home. He understood that they might never meet again after this farewell.

But he had to have hope.

......

Su Xiaolu lowered her eyes silently. In fact, she knew better than Su Chong and Su Hua that the chances of seeing Zhou Heng again after he left were close to none.

Su Xiaolu felt that it was time for her to do something for this family after studying medicine for so long.

Big Brother and Second Brother liked to learn and could not even enter school in the countryside. Su Sanlang had also gone to town to ask, but when he returned home, he was depressed, so obviously, they could not enter school there either.

Su Chong and Su Hua admired Zhou Heng because he had knowledge and because they wanted to be like him.

Su Xiaolu clenched her fists. She must let her brothers enter the school as they wished. There were some things that one would not want after waiting for a long time. She had to do it while they were still young and passionate.

In the afternoon, when Old Wu returned from picking herbs, Su Xiaolu ran to Old Wu’s side and worked hard.

“Master, can I ask a question?”

Su Xiaolu massaged his shoulders and back obsequiously.

Old Wu glanced sideways and said calmly, “I see you’ve been busy inside and out. Ask away.”

The little girl was quite thoughtful. It was obvious that she had something to ask of him. How could she hide her thoughts from him?

“Master, do you think I can treat a rich family? If I accidentally become famous, will you be unhappy?”

Su Xiaolu asked. After that, she added the reason for these questions, “Master, I know you’re afraid of trouble. I know you don’t like it, but I want my eldest brother and second brother to study.”

Su Xiaolu had always respected her teacher. Since she learned Chinese medicine in her previous life, she paid a lot of attention to her manners. By proper etiquette, as a disciple, she could not treat difficult illnesses alone.

Since there were many variables in difficult diseases, it might ruin the master’s reputation if she acted alone.

In this life, she had to follow those rules too. Before she finished her apprenticeship, she had to listen to her master.

Even treating Zhou Heng, Su Chong, and Su Hua was approved by Old Wu.

Old Wu sighed and reached out to stroke Su Xiaolu’s hair. He said, “Girl, with your intelligence, you should be done with your apprenticeship in about a year. You’re very smart, but you’re never spoiled. I like your temperament, but you’re right about one thing. I don’t like trouble. But you’re my disciple. All the rules can be changed for you. Go with me to the Sun residence in Goathorn Town and make a consultation for the twins. Negotiate with them and don’t make a fuss. I’ll teach you for another year. After I leave next year, you can go alone.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Su Xiaolu threw herself into Old Wu’s arms and hugged this cold-faced but warm-hearted old man.

Old Wu felt uncomfortable. He pushed away the soft little girl and said awkwardly, “Alright, alright.”

He was really afraid. Fortunately, he didn’t have to teach her for many years. Otherwise, he would really have gone crazy.

Women were indeed troublesome. They either wheedled or cried. He hated that.

However, this was his favorite disciple.

Su Xiaolu had achieved her goal. She was overjoyed and skipped out the door.

Old Wu looked at the cheerful little figure and sighed.

Su Sanlang and Zhou Heng returned. Su Sanlang bought three large jars and went to make pickled vegetables with Madam Zhao.

Su Chong and Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng, feeling a little down.

Su Xiaoling also seemed to have something to ask, but in the end, she didn’t.

Su Xiaolu did not seem to be scheming anything. She happily ate the candy Zhou Heng bought.

Zhou Heng looked at Su Chong and Su Hua and finally said, “Ah Chong, Ah Hua, Xiaoling, I have something to tell you.”

Su Chong and Su Hua’s eyes lit up. Since Zhou Heng was willing to tell them, it meant that he also cared about them. The depression in their hearts was soothed.

“I’m well enough, so I wrote home to ask my mother if I could come home. I’m waiting for my mother to write back and send for me now. I didn’t say this before because I wasn’t sure when the response would come, but I was also afraid it would be too soon to say goodbye.”

Zhou Heng looked at Su Chong, Su Hua, and then at Su Xiaoling. He explained sincerely and seriously, hoping that Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaoling could understand his feelings.

As for Su Xiaolu, the little girl was still happily eating candy. She shouldn’t be sad.

“We will miss you, Little Brother Heng.”

Su Chong smiled at Zhou Heng and said. The disappointment and reluctance in his heart finally turned into blessings.

“Little Brother Heng, thank you for teaching us so much. We will always remember you.”

Su Hua looked at Zhou Heng and thanked him sincerely.

Su Xiaoling said nothing. She just smiled.

Zhou Heng nodded and said, “Me too. I’ll always remember our days.”

He wanted to say that if he was going home, he would solve the problem of Su Chong and Su Hua not being able to read. That would be difficult for Su Sanlang’s family, but it wasn’t difficult for him. If he went back, he would solve the problem first.

He wanted to say this news now, but after thinking about it, he held back. He wasn’t sure when he could return, so he decided to wait and tell this to the Su family as a surprise.

During dinner that night, Old Wu said, “I’m going to take the little girl out in a few days to broaden her horizons.”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at Su Xiaolu with heartache.

Just as they were about to speak, Su Xiaolu spoke sweetly. She said, “Father, Mother, don’t worry. I’m very obedient. I definitely won’t cause trouble for Master.”

Old Wu glanced at Su Xiaolu and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll watch over her. I won’t let her cause any trouble.”

Madam Zhao was not worried about this. She and Su Sanlang were worried that Su Xiaolu would miss home and cry if she left.
