Chapter 219: Moving Heart
He hastily got up, feeling restless and anxious, hurried to his wife’s room to check on her, and at the same time, was figuring out how to express his apologies and gratitude to Su Yu.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, the scene before him left him stunned—Aunt Li and Su Yu were happily chatting, and the dining table was packed with delicious and fragrant dishes, warm and harmonious.
Upon seeing Uncle Li come in, Su Yu smiled and said to Aunt Li, "Auntie, I will head back first then. You should rest well, and I will come to take your pulse again tomorrow."
Uncle Li was so surprised that he was momentarily at a loss for words. He had assumed that due to his oversleeping, Su Yu might have been displeased, but now, it seemed that he had worried unnecessarily.
After Su Yu left, Uncle Li immediately moved close to his wife and asked eagerly, "Qiaozhi, how are you feeling? You really had me terrified."
Zhao Qiaozhi clasped her husband’s hand tightly, her gratitude was beyond words: "Thanks to that kind-hearted girl, I am feeling much better now. I thought I wouldn’t make it through last night."
"Ah, those wild mushrooms, we should stay away from them in the future."
Uncle Li said with palpable relief, then turned his gaze to the table filled with delicacies, "Did that girl cook all these?"
Zhao Qiaozhi smiled and nodded in response, "Who else could it be? She is truly a kind and good child, she saved me more than once!"
Uncle Li sighed softly, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness, as he slowly began, "Yes, that Silver was indeed hidden in our house for a long time, weighing just over one tael. At that time, I thought there was no way to repay the kindness of saving a life, so I made a decision on my own and gave it to Su Yu."
His voice was low, as if recalling that decisive moment, hoping to gain his spouse’s understanding.
