Chapter 166: Anything Is Possible

“You’re not Su Ying. The Su Ying I know would never act in the way you are acting now.”

Chu Yun looked at Su Ying, his words and eyes filled with certainty. In particular, when he met Su Ying’s bright almond-shaped eyes, he was even more certain of his guess.

Su Ying looked at him and suddenly laughed, and her laughter carried an undisguised tone of arrogance. “That’s right. The idiot from the past is already dead, and the current Su Ying waded here in a sea of blood. I’m Su Ying, but I’m no longer her, understand?”

Chu Yun couldn’t understand. Although the person in front of him was completely different from the Su Ying he knew, her appearance hadn’t changed at all. This was something he couldn’t understand no matter how hard he thought about it.

“You’re her… yet you are not…” Chu Yun murmured softly. No one knew what went through his mind but his expression suddenly changed. When he raised his head again, Su Ying was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Yun stood up and walked to the door. He saw that she had already walked into the courtyard and was talking to Xiao Jin. The light from the torch shone on their figures, causing their shadows to overlap. He looked at their shadows and suddenly laughed. “Waded here in a sea of blood is certainly pure fantasy.” However, who could guarantee that fantasies would not come true?

For the next few days, Su Ying followed Tian Mu up the mountain to cut down trees and build houses. As the weather was getting colder, the houses had to be built as soon as possible.

After discussing with Tiger Might, Su Ying decided to build a trading shop, a school building, and a clinic in an open space in the middle of the four districts. Other than the school building, they decided that one floor would be enough for the other buildings. If one floor wasn’t enough, they could simply expand the building horizontally around the area. Compared to constructing a two-storied building, constructing a single-story building was much faster.

When Meng Zi and Tian Niu arrived at the East District, they saw Su Ying standing on a wooden stake, hammering it down manually.

They watched as Su Ying jumped on the wooden stake a few times before the thick wooden stake was driven into the ground.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

After Su Ying finished laying the foundation, she jumped down from the wooden stake. The moment she turned around, she saw Meng Zi and his wife standing not far away.

She was a little surprised. After patting the dust off her body, she walked over. “Why are the two of you here?”

Su Ying’s eyes lit up when she saw the one-quarter chunk of wild boar meat in their hands.

The two of them recovered themselves and smiled at Su Ying. “We were planning to personally thank you for saving Jiang’er, Madam Su.”

Su Ying brought the two of them to a resting place and sat down. Although it was called a resting place, it was actually just a big wooden block and a few small wooden blocks. When any workers were tired, they could sit down.

“How is he?” Judging from the data on the health monitor, Meng Jiang’s recovery should be good. His heart rate and blood pressure were normal.

“He’s already awake. Although he’s complaining about the pain, he can eat and drink now. It’s all thanks to you, Madam Su.” Tian Niu was truly grateful to Su Ying. She only had one son, and if he was really gone, the rest of her life would be meaningless.

“You’re welcome.”

“If Madam Su is free in the future, please come to our place for a thank-you meal.” Tian Niu invited her with sincerity.

Su Ying recalled Tian Niu’s culinary skills and accepted the invitation without hesitation.

Although her culinary skills were not as good as Uncle Hea and the other chef’s, the dishes she cooked had a distinctive flavor and were still very delicious.

“Madam Su, what were you doing just now?” After exchanging a few pleasantries with Su Ying, Meng Zi pointed at the people behind her.

“We’re building a house. This place will become the Tiger Base’s trading shop in the future. Behind it will be the school building and the clinic.”

“School building? Clinic?” Meng Zi was taken aback.

Su Ying nodded. “That’s right. There are so many children in the Tiger Base. We can’t possibly have a scenario where none of them can read, right?”

The astonishment in Meng Zi’s eyes grew even stronger.

“Don’t think that it’s useless for them to study now. As time goes by, everything will have its use.”

The astonishment in Meng Zi’s eyes gradually turned into admiration. These few days, they had been hesitating whether or not they should merge with the East District. They were worried that if they really merged, there would be changes that they could not accept. They were also worried that Su Ying would go back on her word and cause them harm.

However, now, she actually wanted the children in the Tiger Base to study and she even wanted to build a clinic. Just based on these two points, Meng Zi was willing to accept her merger proposal.

“I wonder when that book of rules and regulations mentioned by Madam Su will be ready?”

“Soon. Chu Yun has a lot of things to write recently, so he hasn’t finished it yet. When he’s done, I’ll send it to you guys.”

Meng Zi nodded. “Then we’ll have to trouble you, Madam Su. This is a small token of our appreciation. We hope you will accept it.”

Su Ying pushed the boar meat back toward them politely. “It’s okay. You’re welcome.”

“This is what we should do. Madam Su, please accept it.”

“I was just helping out when I saved him. You guys are too polite.”

Su Ying kept rejecting the gift yet her hands couldn’t resist holding onto that chunk of boar meat. Tian Niu couldn’t help laughing softly when she saw that.

“Since you don’t want it, we won’t force you, Madam Su.”

Su Ying immediately grabbed the boar meat with a solemn expression. “Aunt Tian, I think it’s not easy for you to come all the way here. It’s so tiring to carry this boar meat. I think I’ll bring it back.”

The couple could not help laughing.

On the way back, Tian Niu felt like laughing again when she recalled Su Ying’s naive and immature behavior.

“Meng Zi, who do you think this Madam Su is? I don’t think she’s any different from an ordinary girl.”

Meng Zi recalled Su Ying’s behavior and also found it hard to see through her. “Indeed, she doesn’t look any different.”

“Exactly.”

However, it was this somewhat smart but naive and immature girl who pulled out all the scum buried in the Tiger Base. It was really unbelievable.

“Why don’t we agree to their proposal?” Tian Niu said softly.

Meng Zi knew what she was talking about. “I’ll tell them when we get back.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Su Ying had no idea what Meng Zi and the others were thinking. After obtaining a one-quarter chunk of wild boar meat, she couldn’t wait to carry it home.

Hea Shouyi and Murong De were enjoying the late autumn sun in the courtyard when they saw Su Ying carrying a one-quarter chunk of wild boar meat over in a hurry.

Thump! Su Ying plonked the wild boar meat in front of the two of them loudly and said excitedly, “Cook this tonight!”

The two men didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they saw how excited she was. Why did they get the feeling that they had caused her suffering with the meals provided during this period of time?

“Mistress, you went up the mountain to hunt again?”

“No, I don’t have time to go now. It’s from the North District’s Area Chief and his wife. They said they wanted to thank me for saving their son.”

Su Ying hadn’t mentioned anything about saving people in the North District, so her family wasn’t aware.

“It’s rare for Mistress to be so kind,” Hea Shouyi said with a smile.

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. She felt that this sentence didn’t seem to be a compliment.

“Mistress, you can leave this with us. We’ll definitely cook the meat for you.”

“Alright.”

Su Ying had just reached the front yard when she heard anxious knocking on the gate..
