Chapter 161 – Rescuing the Transparent High-Ranking Official (part 16)

Xue Gang and Lu Wei no longer held any hopes for this trip up the mountain.
They would visit the mountains and rivers.
Although Qiaojia Village was small and the economy was dated, the scenery was really good. 

They walked up the mountain.
Li Su took them along the road where she discovered the ginseng, but she knew that the time she found it was probably a coincidence.
After that, she had walked countless times and did not see a single ginseng. 

However, Li Su saw that the two men didn’t look like they came here to find ginseng, but more like they came here to play in the mountains and rivers.
They stopped from time to time to learn about the plants on the ground with the two boys. 

Seeing their relaxed and happy attitude, Li Su calmed down and began to slowly appreciate the scenery.
Only then did she realise that the scenery here was good.
In the past, she had always come to the mountains for a purpose and was seldom able to just slow down and enjoy the scenery. 

Li Su looked around and her eyes widened suddenly.
“Stop walking!” Then, she quickly picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at Lu Wei. 

Lu Wei trusted Li Su’s character and did not move. 

In an instant, Xue Gang saw a green snake aiming for the back of Lu Wei’s head on a tree just a handspan away from Lu Wei. 

Xue Gang subconsciously took a step back.
He hugged the 2 children. 

At that moment, the rock Li Su threw hit the snake.
The snake fell from the tree and quickly slithered away into the grass. 

Xue Gang broke out in a cold sweat.
The snake was poisonous.
If Old Lu had been bitten by a snake, then the consequences would be disastrous.
There was no hospital in this village.
It would take more than an hour to go to the county and even then, he didn’t know if the county hospital had an antidote. 

“Let’s hurry down the mountain!” Xue Gang was still in shock.
“Old Lu, you don’t know how dangerous it was just now.
The snake was only a handspan away from you.
It would have bitten you!” 

Lu Wei looked over at Li Su.
“Thank you!”

Li Su waved her hands.
“Let’s hurry down the mountain!” She didn’t know what to say.
She had gone up the mountain many times and she had never encountered a poisonous snake. 

The group hurried down the mountain.
Xue Gang broke out in cold sweat.
He was naturally obsessed with cleanliness and felt a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to go back to the hotel to take a shower, so he dragged Xue Chao’an.
Xue Chao’an was reluctant to leave and wanted to play with younger sister.
They went back to the county first. 

In the car, Xue Gang saw that Lu Wei, who was driving, was silent.
“Didn’t you want to find a good reason before? Isn’t this a good reason now? It was a life-saving grace!” Xue Gang joked. 

Lu Wei glanced at him and Xue Gang shut up.
However, Lu Wei felt that what Xue Gang said was right.
He was still worried about how to convince Li Su to accept his kindness.
Now he had a reason. 

When Li Su returned, third auntie was chatting to Madam Qiao in the yard.
Third auntie was a little surprised when she saw Li Su come back.
“Didn’t you go to the mountain? Why did you come back?” 

Before Li Su could speak, Qiao Zhi shouted first.
“We came across a snake in the mountains! Green!” 

Third auntie’s expression changed.
“Oh my god, don’t tell me you encountered a green bamboo snake? Did you get hurt?” 

Li Su shook her head.
“Nobody was hurt, just shocked.” 

Third auntie was relieved.
“Since you are back, then I will return.
I have to wake up Dashan and the others.
I will let them know to be careful when they go up the mountain during this time.” Third auntie took a few steps before pausing, as if remembering something.
When she couldn’t think of anything, she finally left. 

“Okay, third auntie should walk slowly.” Li Su was also a little frightened.
She sat on the stool to rest. 

Madam Qiao saw that she didn’t speak.
“Were you scared? You were lucky that you hadn’t encountered these before.
Although the mountains have good things, it is dangerous.
You won’t be so lucky every time.” 

Li Su laughed.
Before today, she really didn’t think there were any dangers in the mountains.
Now, it seemed that she really had the heroine halo!

Li Su soon discovered that her heroine halo was more than that. 

“What did you say? Li Su couldn’t help but stand up. 

“It’s like this.
In order to repay you for the life-saving grace, we arranged for you to be a teacher in the county elementary school.
Of course, you will be an official teacher.
We also rented a house for you near the county elementary school and have paid the rent for the first half of the year.
You will need to pay the rest,” said Xue Gang. 

This is what he and Lu Wei had decided on after discussion.
He was afraid that if it was too much, Li Su wouldn’t accept it. 

The corners of Li Su’s mouth twitched slightly.
Helping him drive away a snake could barely be regarded as a life-saving grace.
But, this incident happened yesterday.
They came here today to tell her that they had arranged work for her in order to repay her? Wasn’t this too fast? 

Lu Wei looked at Li Su.
“I know you don’t want to accept my help, but you have to think about your two children.
The educational resources are better in the county, so it will be more beneficial for them.
When Xuechen gets older, can you still take her to school when she’s running all over the place? If you move to the county, you can send her to a nursery.
This is safer and leaves you with less worries.” 

Li Su had thought about what Lu Wei said, but there were no requirements.
“Let me think about it!” 

Lu Wei nodded.
“I know that you are an independent person and you don’t want to accept too much help from others.
Before, your second older sister sent you something and you tried everything to pay her back.
We are relatives, so I really want to help you.
I hope you won’t easily reject our kindness.” 

Li Su laughed.
If it was just help between family, then she had nothing to fear.
But, things weren’t that simple.
Whether it was the Li family or the Lu family, she didn’t want to provoke them.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with these people. 

After Lu Wei and Xue Gang left, Li Su told Madam Qiao about it.
She didn’t want to go.
She thought that Madam Qiao would approve of her decision as Madam Qiao was against moving to the county when she had proposed it before. 

But, Li Su did not expect Madam Qiao to agree. 

Madam Qiao seemed to have expected Li Su’s reaction.
“Is it that strange that I would agree?” 

Li Su laughed.
“Yes, mother.
I said that I wanted to move to the county before, but you refused.”

“Before, you planned on quitting your job and going into business.
It was a precarious situation, so I refused.
Now that they have arranged work for you, and your salary will increase a lot, why wouldn’t you want to go?!” 

“Mother, aren’t you worried?” Li Su couldn’t help but ask. 

“Are you saying that you will owe them something? It shouldn’t be a big deal.
After all, you saved his life.” Madam Qiao was not the kind of person who was used to taking advantage of people, so her words came out a bit awkward.
“These are small things.
As long as you are good to Big Zhi and Xuechen, then it’s fine.” 

As long as she cared for her grandson and granddaughter, Madam Qiao could temporarily abandon her morals. 

Li Su was also silent.
What Madam Qiao understood, she could also understand.
“Okay, then let’s go!” Wasn’t it just a favour? She could pay it back in the future.
Besides, what Madam Qiao said was right.
She did save his life. 

Finally, Li Su agreed. 

Lu Wei and Xue Gang were very happy.
Qiao Zhi was also happy to learn that his family was going to move to the county.
Only Xue Chao’an was unhappy because after helping Aunt Li move, they were going to go home. 

Li Su had been transferred.
The principal was a little unhappy.
Li Su had this relationship but didn’t mention it.
Their family took care of her so much.
Now that she had benefited, she had forgotten about everyone. 

Li Su saw this, but didn’t take it seriously.
She remembered who had been good to her.
Besides, with her current situation, she should take care of herself first. 

Before moving out, Li Su spent a lot of money for a banquet at home.
The village chief, Dashan’s family, and a few good neighbours who usually took care of her were invited to her house.
Li Su toasted everyone one-by-one and thanked everyone for their care over the past few years.
Her words and attitude were sincere.
The dishes on the table were very rich.
It was obvious Li Su had put a lot of thought into it and everyone felt comfortable. 

In fact, people were very strange.
When unfortunate things happened to Li Su’s family before and they had difficult days, everyone sympathised with her and were willing to help her. 

But when they found out that Li Su’s family weren’t as miserable as they imagined and were actually more prosperous, they felt a little uncomfortable.
This feeling only grew when they learned that Li Su’s family were about to move to the county town.

This feeling was one of when you discovered that a person, who wasn’t as good as you in the past, suddenly surpasses you in a way that you couldn’t match. 

They would feel cheated.
They would also feel like their goodwill had been betrayed. 

Li Su understood their hearts.
She would not have cared about them originally.
It was just that the Qiao family’s ancestral grave was still here and it needed to be taken care of by the villagers.
So, LI Su still wanted to maintain a good relationship with everyone. 

After the meal, everyone resumed their previous affectionate relationship.
Third auntie patted her chest and said that she would help them take care of the old house and take care of Aiguo and his father’s graves. 

Li Su smiled and sent people away one-by-one.
After she closed the door, she felt a little tired.
No matter what world she was in, human relationships were difficult. 

“Tired today?” 

While Li Su was squatting on the ground and washing dishes, Madam Qiao came out and asked her this. 

“Ah? I’m not.
Mother, it’s getting late.
You should go to bed,” said Li Su. 

Madam Qiao sighed.
“Actually, you can ignore them.” She didn’t have to worry so much about maintaining good relationships between neighbours.
She had done a good job already. 

Madam Qiao felt a little uncomfortable. 

Li Su smiled.
“It’s okay.
It’s not as if we won’t come back in the future.
We will come back during school holidays.
It is good to have a good relationship with the villagers.” She could leave here with her children without regrets, but Madam Qiao couldn’t. 

If it was before, then Li Su wouldn’t care much about Madam Qiao’s opinion.
But, since she had transmigrated, then she should integrate into the world. 

This might also be a kind of growth.
She was no longer obsessed with completing her tasks.
She would try to integrate into the world and live seriously.
