Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 260: Every Family Has Its Own Problems
Which day was it exactly? It was probably the seventh day that Su Hongluo had lived in Wenlai Villa. A small group of people came to the foot of the mountain outside the villa.
There were about a dozen people in the team, led by a white-haired old man with a sturdy build and a straight back. He didn't look like an old man at all, and was even stronger than an ordinary middle-aged man.
The old man was wearing a black and red military uniform. Judging from the material and embroidery of the uniform, he was not from an ordinary family. At the same time, his demeanor was extraordinary. His gestures were mostly battlefield style, and his words and deeds were full of military attitude.
Perhaps after taking a far look at the villa on the mountain road, the old man dismounted from his horse. Without leading the team behind him, he just winked at a young man beside him, then put his hands behind his back and walked up the mountain by himself.
The young man behind him shook his head helplessly and ordered the team behind him to wait here. Then he jumped off his horse and caught up with the old man who had already walked away.
Judging from their appearance, this group of people should be from the army, and in fact, they are all from Tiance Mansion. The old man and the young man leading them are Su Shilie, the chief of Tiance Mansion, and Su Changwu, the general of Tiance Mansion.
They came here with no other purpose except to bring home an unfilial girl named Su Hongluo.
In front of the gate of Wenlai Villa, Su Shilie and Su Changwu stood side by side. They looked at each other for a while. Finally, under Su Shilie's silent gaze, Su Changwu shrank his neck and walked forward to knock on the door.
He didn't know what had happened to his little sister recently. First she said she was not going to get married and acted as if she wanted to live out the rest of her life alone. Then she had a big fight with her father and left home.
My father is still angry about this, and he doesn't dare to get into trouble.
“Bump.”
There was a knock on the door of the villa.
Not long after, a little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old opened the door.
"Who are you?" Li Qing looked at the old man and the strong man outside the door in confusion and asked with a frown.
Su Changwu and Su Shilie were also stunned. They just heard that Su Hongluo was currently staying in this farm, but they didn't expect that the person who came to open the door would be a child.
"Cough." After a slightly awkward cough, Su Changwu came back to his senses, pointed at his neck, and said to Li Qing.
"Little girl, have you ever seen a woman who is so tall and behaves like a man? She is my sister. She left home a few days ago and never came back, so we are all very anxious to find her."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard Su Changwu's words, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said happily.
"You are here to look for Sister Hongluo, right? She has lived in our villa for some time. I can take you to find her now."
Su Hongluo's family came, and there was no doubt that this was great news for Li Qing.
Not to mention the suffering they had suffered when Su Hongluo trained them in martial arts, the fact that this woman had improper thoughts about their husbands was something Li Qing could not tolerate.
She had wanted Su Hongluo to leave a long time ago, but her husband had taken money from this woman and wanted her to leave, which was neither reasonable nor moral.
But now the other party's family is here, how can she not leave?
"That's great." Su Changwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the girl in front of him being so enthusiastic. He has never been good at dealing with children.
"In that case, please take us to find her, little sister."
"As she should. We are also very happy that Sister Hongluo can reconcile with her family." Li Qing said with a smile, then opened the door and invited Su Changwu and Su Shilie to come in.
Seeing that the little girl was so sensible, Su Shilie's eyes became a lot kinder.
From this point of view, the owner of this villa should also be a kind person.
No, not even if they are a good family!
Thinking about his own girl who had lived in a stranger's house for seven or eight days without saying a word, he was furious.
This time we must teach that girl a lesson!
Thinking of this, Su Shilie's face darkened even more.
He had already made up his mind that when he saw Su Hongluo later, he would give her a good scolding.
Led by Li Qing, the three of them walked through the front yard and met several children along the way, which made Su Changwu and Su Shilie very confused.
I was wondering why there were so many children in this villa. I didn’t see a single adult along the way.
It was not until Li Qing saw through their thoughts and explained to them the origins of these children that they showed a look of understanding.
After looking at each other, Su Changwu and Su Shilie nodded.
They were originally worried that Su Hongluo might not act carefully, so she impulsively found a random family to stay with.
Now it seems that this family should be of good character. Having adopted so many children, they must be kind people at least.
When the three of them walked to the front of the hall, Su Shilie saw Su Hongluo who was sitting under the eaves to enjoy the cool air at first sight. Without thinking much, he walked up to her.
Seeing Su Shilie coming towards her, Su Hongluo was subconsciously stunned for a moment, then stopped the folding fan in her hand, greeted him and said.
"father."
"You still know that I'm your father!" Su Shilie glared and stood in front of Su Hongluo with his hands behind his back.
"Why don't you tell me first , why didn't you go home for the past seven or eight days and even lived in someone else's house?!"
Looking at Su Shilie's furious eyes, Su Hongluo pulled her mouth helplessly, then glanced to the side and said.
"I just want us to calm down and talk about it later."
"Let's talk slowly?" Su Shilie exhaled angrily: "Okay, I'm calm now, wait until I beat you up and then we can sit down and talk slowly!"
As he spoke, Su Shilie looked around, then grabbed the bamboo stick that Su Hongluo usually used to help the children get into position, and walked towards Su Hongluo aggressively.
Looking at Su Shilie striding towards him, Su Hongluo panicked, raised a hand and pointed at Su Shilie and said.
"Hey! If you really dare to hit me here, I'll go back and tell my mother to make you kneel down with the mace!"
"That's only after I beat you first!"
Su Shilie said this angrily as he grabbed one of Su Hongluo's legs and pulled her from the ground in front of him. Then he raised the bamboo stick in his hand and hit her butt hard.
"Snap!" A crisp sound was heard in the yard.
The children on both sides were stunned, and Su Hongluo's face turned red in an instant after a moment of distraction. She lay on the ground, pulling at her caught leg and screaming.
"Su Shilie! I'm not done with you!!"
"Alright! You dare to call your father by his name! I'll never let you go! Why won't you stop? Huh!?"
"Snap! Snap!" Two more whipping sounds were heard along with the sound of bamboo sticks swinging.
Su Changwu stood aside wiping the sweat from his forehead, while on the other side, Li Qing was secretly happy watching this.
To be honest, Su Shilie seldom beat Su Hongluo, at least he never beat her in public.
But this time, he felt that he had to beat her. After all, he didn't want his daughter to be single for life, so no matter how stubborn Su Hongluo was, he had to pull her back this time.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly appeared in the hall. It turned out that Li Si heard the noise and walked out puzzledly.
Then, he saw Su Hongluo, who was being pulled by one leg and spanked by Su Shilie in front of the hall.
…
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence and Li Si stood there in a daze.
Su Shilie glanced at the newcomer unhappily, even though he knew that the other party was probably the owner of the villa and had a good character. But he was so angry that it was difficult for him to put on a good face.
But the next moment, he saw Li Si's appearance.
How should I describe Su Shilie's expression afterwards?
He was probably surprised at first, then dazed, and then he looked at Su Hongluo again with a look of sudden enlightenment.
He immediately let go of Su Hongluo's legs, then turned his gaze to Li Si, stroking his beard and examining him up and down.
Li Si felt uncomfortable for a while when he was stared at, but Su Shilie's eyes became more and more satisfied as he looked at him. In the end, he even laughed heartily, walked up to Li Si, patted Li Si on the shoulder and said.
"Hahaha, I don't know you, sir. Are you Li Daolang, Master Li?"
This Li Daolang is the nickname given to Li Si by the people in the martial arts world.
"Uh." Li Si was confused by Su Shilie's change, but he still bowed politely and said.
"If General Su is not talking about another Li Si, then it is me."
