“Immortal, you made a bet with me previously. I lost. I’m grateful to you. I know that you’re also looking for it. I’m making a deal with you now. I know that you’re very powerful. I have a cheap life, but I’m not afraid of death. Perhaps it won’t be long before there are other fated people, but I promise that this secret will always be a secret before that.”
Sun Ru mustered her courage. She had nothing to rely on. The only thing she had was her life.
Even if her life didn’t matter, this was her heaviest bet.
Su Xiaolu lowered her eyes and saw that Sun Rut s clenched fists were trembling. She smiled and took out the silver for her. Su Xiaolu reminded her kindly, “I agree to the exchange, but you have to hide it well.”
Joy burst out of Sun Ru’s eyes. Her eyes turned red as she took it excitedly.
Su Xiaolu added, “Go and settle your mother’s funeral first. I have time to wait for you to fulfill the deal.”
The gratitude in Sun Ru’s heart was indescribable. She nodded heavily and ran out.
This time, she would hide the silver very well.
Sun Ru hid the silver in the toilet and distributed it under the stove before going to buy a coffin for Madam Yang.
Madam Yang’s funeral was so quiet that the neighbors on the street did not even know.
Madam Yang rarely went out. In the eyes of the neighbors, Madam Yang was no different from a livestock raised in captivity. When everyone mentioned her, they felt that she was very pitiful because no woman could be as lowly as Madam Yang.
Even the girls in the brothel could be a little fierce, but Madam Yang was not.
It was only when the coffin was delivered that people looked around. When they saw the coffin stop at the Sun family, their expressions became even more solemn.
A woman came to ask, “Xiao Ru, what’s going on? Your mother…”
Everyone knew that Madam Yang was pregnant. Among the few times Madam Yang went out, there were always people who would watch her. People would still sigh when they thought that such a woman had died.
Sun Ru lowered her eyes and said softly, “Mother is gone. After giving birth to my sister, she passed away…”
Sun Ru explained the matter in the shortest possible words.
People sighed, and some subconsciously shook their heads.
It was unknown if this sigh was because Madam Yang was gone or because she had given birth to another daughter.
But that didn’t matter anymore.
“Xiao Ru, your mother is also a pitiful person. If she’s gone, what will you do? You’d better bury your mother quickly. Otherwise, when your father comes back and sees her, this coffin will definitely not be able to be preserved.”
A woman sighed and said.
Sun Ru nodded. She had a plan.
“Thank you, Auntie. I know.”
Sun Ru was grateful. She also understood this.
Perhaps because they couldn’t bear to see the children doing this, a few families still came to help carry the coffin to the place where Sun Ru was going to bury it.
Sun Ru made food for the people who helped. It was simple pickled vegetables and steamed buns, but no one minded.
Sun Yong had no idea.
Sun Ru was very sensible. She was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.
A kind-hearted auntie whispered to Sun Ru, “Xiao Ru, I heard that your mother left with your father herself back then. That was what your father said when he was drunk. When he woke up, he didn’t admit it. He said that your maiden family’s family background is very good. Because they looked down on your father, they would rather chase your mother out of the house than let her
marry him. All these years, your father has been gambling and drinking. Where did this money come from? Some people said that he often went to a place to get the money. This money might have been brought by your maiden family.”
Sun Ru was silent. Everything was the same as what she had seen in her illusions. Apart from the fact that she had changed, there were traces of everything else.
The only thing that had not changed was the tragic fate of the sisters.
“Xiao Ru, Auntie only heard about it. If you and your sisters really can’t live on, why don’t you ask around more? This way, you’ll inevitably have another way out.”
The woman persuaded her earnestly. That was all she could do.
Sun Ru nodded and looked up. There were tears in her eyes. She bowed gratefully and said, “Thank you for telling me, Auntie. Thank you.”
“No need, no need. If only your maternal family could tolerate you.”
The woman waved her hand, feeling upset. However, she was also a mortal and did not have the means to care about others.
Sun Ru knew in her heart that although these words seemed to be of little help, they had actually helped a lot. As for her maternal family, which she had never met before, Sun Ru did not hate them or resent them.
She thought they’d done the right thing. She knew only too well what her father was like. They’d been right not to accept him.
Others might think that they were heartless enough to ignore their daughter, but from another perspective, Madam Yang was not unfilial. For a man, she could even abandon her parents who gave her life.
She had abandoned them. They refused to see her again, but they still asked someone to bring money to her, hoping to improve her life.
However, Madam Yang did not use a single coin. She became a plaything by Sun Yong’s side.
Madam Yang’s funeral was over.
The 15 days were up.
After Sun Ru settled her sisters down, she took the initiative to look for Su Xiaolu and the others to fulfill her promise.
Su Xiaolu asked her to sit down.
After Sun Ru sat down, she said calmly, “I have to start from two months ago. My mother has a poor appetite. I was in the mountains and wanted to pick some wild fruits for her to improve her appetite. There I found a talking immortal herb. She took the initiative to talk to me and said that she could help me. She could fulfill my wish, but I had to exchange my life for it.”
“She has all kinds of medicine. She said I could bring friends to her to make a deal. If she’s willing to see them, then they can see her. If she’s unwilling to see them, then no one can find her.”
When Sun Ru mentioned divine medicine, her expression was respectful. To her, it was a god-like existence.
The matter was not very complicated. After Sun Ru finished speaking, she said to su xmaolu ana tne otners, “Immortals, 1 can Drmg you to see ner, Dut 1 can’t guarantee that you can see her.”
“Okay.”
Su Xiaolu nodded in agreement. Sun Ru led the way and they went together.
Not wanting to be noticed, they even set up a concealment array formation.
It was still the same path up the mountain. There were still many people, including the villagers and many cultivators.
In this inconspicuous crowd, Sun Ru brought Su Xiaolu and the others to a tree that no one noticed.
Sun Ru closed her eyes and chanted reverently.
Sun Ru opened her eyes again and said to Su Xiaolu, “Immortal, it seems that the divine medicine is willing to see you. Let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Little Niu and Su Kuo and said to them, “Junior Brother,
Little Kuo, I’ll go. Wait for me outside.”
Su Kuo and Little Niu looked at each other. They did not believe it. The two of them held Su Xiaolu’s hand and gestured for Sun Ru and Su Xiaolu to leave. It was best not to separate if they could. Anyway, there was no harm in trying..
