"Nanshui Town is a mixed bag, with mercenaries gathering. It's not easy to gain a foothold here." After hearing what the woman said, Lin Xi also admired the man named Su Qing. She wanted to be in a strange place.
To establish a force, in addition to facing those desperate mercenaries, the suppression of the established forces is the first problem that must be solved. However, he actually used just a few years to develop the Su family to this point, and his methods are incredible.
powerful.
The woman also nodded in agreement and continued: "It is indeed true. Because of this, our Su family has offended many local forces that have existed for a long time. However, there are also many families who have good relations with our Su family, so they have always been unwilling to do so.
If you dare to make any big moves, it will involve too much and both sides will suffer in the end."
"The cause of the matter can be traced back more than ten years ago..." A little sadness appeared on the woman's face. Although it has been a long time, it still makes her a little sad to think about it now.
"One day more than ten years ago, Xie Liang, the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, found my husband and revealed to him that he had discovered a cave left by his predecessors on Nanshui Mountain because there were monsters outside the cave.
They were unable to enter and wanted my husband's help. Xie Liang had been friends with my husband since we first came to Nanshui Town. Of course, we would not be wary of his words. In this way, my husband followed Xie Liang.
, left Nanshui Town."
"And even after leaving this time, he never came back, and that guy Xie Liang also disappeared..."
"After that, I also went to Nanshui Mountain to check. The cave does exist, and there are corpses of monsters around it. However, the entrance to the cave has been completely sealed and cannot be opened from the outside..." The woman's eyes became blurry.
As you can imagine, her husband's disappearance at that time caused a huge blow to her.
"I was already pregnant at that time, and we had a three-year-old son before. At that time, I felt that something was a little unusual. The first thing I did was to quickly ask a trustworthy person to take care of my three-year-old son.
, sent away overnight to prevent accidents from happening."
Hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but admire the frail woman in front of her. The Su family had obviously been targeted at that time, and Su Qing must have been in trouble, and she could immediately bear the huge pain of losing her husband.
Making a decisive decision, it seems that this woman was also the number one figure in Nanshui Town at that time.
"And the development of the matter was exactly as I expected. Just a few days after my husband disappeared, the forces hostile to us in Nanshui Town immediately began to suppress our Su family. Although some of my husband's friends also
I came to help, but how could the Su family, which had lost its head, resist the difficulties coming from all directions? In this way, the Su family began to decline at that time, and I knew that I could no longer save my husband for the sake of the child in my belly.
The foundation we created was sold by the Su Family Trading Company..."
"After that, the Su family finally became worse day by day. The members of the family were all outsiders and the family was in decline. How could they continue to stay? With the efforts of several friends to preserve it, this house was finally saved.
Now in the Su family, only Axiu and I are left..."
After listening to the woman's words quietly, Lin Xi was silent for a moment and asked: "Madam, in this case, you should have been able to leave a considerable fortune at that time, right? Why are you so embarrassed now?"
"Hey..." The woman glanced at Lin Xi, shook her head, and said: "The gold coins obtained from selling the property have all covered the debt owed by the bank. Judging from the look of the young master, he must have never been involved in business, right?"
"Uh...that's it." Sensing the woman's gaze, Lin Xi scratched his head in embarrassment. Indeed, he had never been exposed to the Huangfu family's property since he was a child, and he didn't understand anything about it.
The question was a bit childish.
"Then... among the friends that Senior Su made before, isn't there anyone who can help you mother and daughter?" In Lin Xi's view, Su Qing has worked hard in Nanshui Town for many years and must have many friends. Could it be that they can
Do you sit back and watch your friend's widow and orphans?
"The world is so hot. It's good that most people haven't made trouble, so why should I expect too much? There are a few people who have a good relationship with my husband and have saved this property for us. They will often come to help us in the future, but it has been so long.
As time passed, these people must have left, and I haven’t seen them again for several years.”
Hearing this, Lin Xi sighed and basically understood the ins and outs of the matter. She thought that the disease on this woman's body was also caused at that time. She was pregnant and had to deal with the eyes of other forces. For a woman,
, it is indeed too difficult.
"I didn't expect that Madam would encounter such a family tragedy, but...you do have a good and filial daughter." Nanshui Mountain can be said to be extremely dangerous for a little girl who has no power to restrain a chicken. This
Su Xiuneng did not hesitate for her mother, which is touching.
"Haha..." When Lin Xi mentioned her daughter, a rare smile appeared on the woman's face. For her, her daughter was her only spiritual sustenance and her only reason for living.
"Axiu... is indeed a silly girl."
"Madam, how do you maintain your daily life?" Lin Xi asked after taking a look at the house surrounding Xiao Ran.
"Hey, the Qian family in Nanshui Town used to have a good relationship with our Su family. Over the years, I have been sick and unable to do anything. I can only borrow some gold coins from the Qian family to make ends meet." When mentioned this issue, the woman said
The man sighed again.
"If that's the case, then why does Su Xiu..." Since she has financial support from a wealthy family, that girl Su Xiu doesn't need to take such risks.
"More than ten years have passed, and the Qian family has already changed a group of senior officials. These people are not kind-hearted people. A year ago, the Qian family refused to lend us any more money. Not only that, they also demanded the gold coins we borrowed before.
Return it, or you will have to mortgage this old house..." This matter is also a worry for the woman, and she has been thinking about the solution to this matter during this time.
"What a bunch of bastards who only care about money!" Hearing the woman's words, Lin Xi felt a little angry in her heart. Not to mention the friendship between Su Qian's family in the past, just with these two struggling mother and daughter, they were not
You should be so careless about reason.
"It seems that this young man has just left home, right?" Hearing Lin Xi's angry words, the woman couldn't help but smile. This kind of thing is common in the mainland. The young man in front of her should be
Didn't go through any storms.
"Madam is right, I just left my home and went to Tengyang City for business." Lin Xi felt ashamed and replied.
"Yes." The woman nodded clearly, and then asked: "But I don't know where the young master is from?"
"This..." Lin Xi was silent for a moment and did not speak. For him, he did not want others to know his hometown.
"I understand, I am too reckless. Please don't mind, sir." Seeing Lin Xi's expression, the woman immediately understood that these children from big families would not reveal their personal information easily when they go out.
Seeing the origin, I couldn’t help but blame myself secretly.
"Madam, it's serious. It's really not convenient for me to tell you the origin of this junior. Please don't get me wrong, madam." Lin Xi said quickly.
"Mom! That Qian Ping is here again!" Just as the woman was about to continue talking, Su Xiu suddenly ran in from the door in a panic and said anxiously to the woman on the bed.
