Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 65 A Related Stranger
The next morning, Su Ping was still alone at home, quietly spending the last day of his vacation. However, he would look outside the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
Because based on the powerful strength of the villagers, even if the remaining five people did not all come today, at least two or three would come.
For this reason, Su Ping stayed at home the whole time, and never went to see the young seedling again, nor did he look at the place where traces were left in the past.
With one hand on his chin, Su Ping's eyes were deep, like a night sky without moon or stars. It was hard to see what was in them, as if they contained infinite mysteries.
This is the look he would occasionally show when no one is around, because if an eight-year-old child showed such an expression in front of others, he would probably be considered mentally ill.
The wait was not in vain. Not long after, a voice came from outside the door, calling him.
Su Ping's eyes returned to normal. He stood up and walked to the open door. He leaned against the door and looked at the three people.
A middle-aged couple had guilty smiles on their faces, and there was a young woman with a pale face who looked at Su Ping with a slightly evasive look.
This situation was not much different from last night, except that this woman apologized loudly without saying anything, and her attitude was sincere.
It was much easier than last night, which shows how powerful the villagers are.
Su Ping secretly praised them in his heart, then put on a magnanimous look and sent them away, leaving them with a good reputation outside as a favor.
Su Ping did the same thing to the next few waves of people, not caring about their sincerity. He didn't believe that he could change a person's attitude in just one night.
So in fact, what he said last night was only for the villagers to hear. He just wanted to show off in front of outsiders to let people know that he is not a soft persimmon.
Otherwise, if you endure it this time, there will be more and more such things in the future, so it doesn’t matter whether you are sincere or not.
Anyway, just treat it as a show and each get what he needs. After this time, Su Ping believes that not only will there be fewer such incidents, but it will also be easier to act in the village in the future, at least on the surface.
This is Su Ping, the first step he has taken towards the future. He wants to gain more reputation in the village besides being a child prodigy, and show off some character. Only in this way can he have more say.
"There's only one left." Su Ping murmured. Many people had come this morning, but the woman who cursed the most fiercely was the only one left.
But it was fine for the other party, but what kind of treatment the other party would endure after he left and before he came back was not something Su Ping should worry about.
After lunch, Su Yue and Li Ying sat at home, took a short rest, and asked about what happened in the morning.
Su Ping naturally told the truth, including what happened in the morning and the fact that one person was missing.
"It seems to be quite effective." Li Ying looked at her son, at that tender face, and said slowly: "But remember not to abuse this method."
Su Ping nodded obediently and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Mom. I will only use them like this and I will definitely not do more."
Li Ying smiled, rubbed her son's face with both hands, and said, "Mom believes in you. My son must be an upright person!"
Su Ping smiled awkwardly and did not answer, because from this point of view, he was not a gentleman, but he was not a villain either. At least he was thinking about himself, which was right.
Su Yue, who had been silent all the time, looked at the mother and son with nothing but tenderness in his eyes. He liked it very much, listening to the conversation between his wife and son, and feeling the subtle but indescribable feeling between family members.
This is a kind of warmth that emerges in one's heart. It is a memory that makes one's brows relax and smile whenever he thinks of it. It is also something that Su Yue cannot express, but can feel in his heart.
There is a place to rest, its name is home, there is a kind of people who care about you, they are family, there is a feeling, called heart connected to heart, even if separated by mountains and seas, it can never be severed.
Family brings warmth to the heart, whether it is a bowl of hot noodles when you return home late at night, or their tiptoeing when you get up early, or their reporting of good news without disturbing you when you are living away from home, or their silent support behind your back no matter what you do.
All of these things are family, all of them are kinship, all of them are...blood is thicker than water.
"Let me go. I'm not going to apologize to that kind of person. No! Absolutely not!"
Unfortunately, this warm scene did not last long as it was broken by a sharp female voice outside the door.
Su Ping knew from the sharp voice and the pointed words that the last person had arrived, but he seemed to be in some trouble.
Li Ying stood up, glanced outside the door, and said, "Let's go and see how they end it."
Su Yue listened to these words that seemed a bit gloating and had some unclear meaning, scratched his head, nodded and followed.
Su Ping, one of the parties involved, also walked to the door and looked at the three people outside with his eyes half closed.
The first person to speak was a middle-aged woman. Like the others before her, she had a guilty look on her face. She said softly, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Ying, it's your great aunt who didn't teach this girl well. I'm sorry for our little prodigy..."
"Grandma brought her here today and asked her to apologize to our Su Ping. We don't want to hurt the relationship between our two families."
Su Ping's eyes flashed and he sneered in his heart. This so-called great aunt, he had never seen his parents take him to visit on major festivals in previous years, but now they were bringing up this relationship of relatives that was as complicated as the almanac.
Isn't it just to influence Su Ping and make him pay attention to blood ties?
But Su Ping understood that his parents were people who valued family and friendship very much. If the two families had a good relationship, why didn't they mention it before and visit each other?
In this case, Su Ping guessed that most likely the two families had broken up or had a rift in the past, in any case it would not be for no reason.
Li Ying's brows were slightly frowned, her eyes filled with anger, looking completely different from her usual gentle self.
Su Yue, who was beside her, was also very angry. He gritted his teeth and almost burst into a curse, but he suppressed it. He turned his head and stopped looking at the middle-aged woman.
After seeing that the two ignored her, the middle-aged woman turned her attention to Su Ping and said softly, "Little Su Ping, we are also family members making things difficult for each other!"
"Your parents call me great aunt, and your grandpa calls me cousin, but I was not in the countryside in my early years, so the relationship between our two families has faded."
Su Ping did not speak, nor did he seem to want to address her as the middle-aged woman thought, but this did not stop her from continuing.
"Now that such a big thing has happened, other people have become laughing stock. The sooner we resolve it, the easier it will be for us to relax, right?" A shrewd look flashed in the middle-aged woman's cloudy eyes.
Su Ping turned his head and looked at his parents who were on the verge of exploding. He thought for a moment and said, "I wasn't here in my early years, but how come I haven't seen you since I can remember?"
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, as if she was very kind, and said, "Before, our friendship faded, so of course we didn't visit each other often. Today, my great aunt went out, and she saw you, kid?"
Su Ping hesitated for a moment. He had lived in the village for eight years and had indeed never seen this middle-aged woman, but he had seen the old man next to her.
They were on the road at that time. Su Ping was only five years old when he saw the old man going up the mountain with something in his arms.
Su Ping didn't know what he was going to do, but he felt that, judging from the current situation, it was probably not a good thing.
"Since we don't get around often, why bring it up again? Isn't it better to let the past go to the ground with it?" Su Ping said calmly.
The middle-aged woman looked at the child, her eyes trembling, but she still looked kind and said, "It's not good to bring up the past, but if we don't bring it up, will no one know about it?"
"Did Xiaoyue and Xiaoying never mention me to you?"
Su Ping remained calm on the surface, but he thought in his heart: "Here I am. I'm going to question my parents, and then find ways to excuse that woman, and finally let it go..."
"But it's not that easy!"
The best way to deal with such people is to attack them forcefully. You can't resist them with a single blow, as that will only encourage their arrogance.
Thinking of this, Su Ping immediately spoke up, summoning the righteousness in his chest, and said solemnly: "My parents really didn't mention you, and they didn't say that there are any relatives in our family. I don't know where you came from, so I can't control it!"
"But she." Su Ping pointed at the woman who had been silent for a long time and said, "I don't believe you don't know what she did. Is there any problem in asking her to apologize to me? Is there any need to bring up the distant relatives?"
The voice was as loud as a bell, and it seemed a little unbelievable coming from the mouth of a child who was only eight years old. However, these sharp words were full of power and worth pondering.
What's wrong with relatives? Can relatives do whatever they want? Can relatives rely on this blood relationship to be immune from everything?
Su Ping was not going to spoil her. Moreover, this so-called relative had never visited her before and even seemed to be at odds with his parents. It was even more impossible for him to speak to her in a nice tone.
The middle-aged woman seemed to have not expected Su Ping to act like this suddenly. She froze in place and almost forgot the words she had prepared.
The old man seemed to be an outsider. He never spoke a word and his expression did not change. He just watched quietly, all the time.
As for the woman with the shrill voice, when she saw that her mother had stopped talking, she prepared to speak herself and began to yell and curse at the top of her voice.
"Su Ping, you are so bold to disrespect your elders. My mother is your great aunt! You will shorten your life if you speak to your elders like that!"
"Also, I am your grandmother. It's fine if you don't respect me, but you even dared to refute me before. You are bringing disgrace to our family and are unworthy of being a scholar!"
