Chapter Forty-One: Submission

  Shamelessly asking for collection and recommendation, a new day begins, watching the collection and recommendation not going up, although trying to remain calm, still some small murmurs, thank you readers.

  The crowd dispersed quickly. Since there was nothing exciting to see, why stay here? The temple fair was so lively, it's better to go watch a play. Some people also took a look at Su Tiancheng.

  The strong man supported the young girl and prepared to leave.

  In the eyes of the strong man, there was still a wolf-like gaze. Su Tiancheng slightly furrowed his brow, could it be that after his father's death and lack of money for burial, the strong man would harbor resentment towards society? This mindset wasn't good.

  Su Tiancheng turned around and prepared to leave when the strong man behind him spoke up.

  "My lord, I am Wang Daizhi. Your great kindness and virtue, I will remember."

  It's not easy to win someone over, the role of money is important, but the key is to make others convinced and willing. Simply relying on money or power to make others temporarily surrender, such a conquest cannot be considered true conquest.

  Just as Zhuang Han was about to speak, Su Tiancheng had already thought of a way.

  He turned around and spoke to the strong man and the girl.

  "Wang Dazhi, I didn't expect you to remember any of my kindnesses. It was just a small favor, and besides, looking at your current state, you're not even doing well yourself. Focus on your own affairs first before talking about gratitude."

  Wang Dazhi's face turned red.

  "Why are you speaking like this, Young Master? Even if you're wealthy and helped my sister and me, there's no need to mock me like this."

  A cold smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

  "What's wrong, aren't you convinced? Alright, I'll make three points, let's see how you explain them."

  "Firstly, your father has passed away, which is a sad thing. But you have such a good body, can't you even give him a proper burial? It's said that being buried in the earth brings peace, so why come here and sell your own sister in public? If there isn't a valid reason, it's not just ridicule, but even scolding you wouldn't be excessive."

  "Secondly, you're the man of the house, always saying you want to protect your sister. I've never seen such a way of protecting her. A few rascals come here and tease her for a bit, and you can't even bear it. But have you ever thought that if someone really bought your sister, would you still be able to intervene? At that time, she would suffer humiliation and bullying, what do you plan to do?"

  "Thirdly, having a backbone is not about showing off like you do, resenting the rich and resenting society. With such great skills, what can't you accomplish? Instead of taking action, you just sit around talking, envying others' success, complaining here and there. You can't even lift yourself up, with such moral character, what kind of accomplishment is that?"

  Before he could finish speaking, Wang Dazhi's face had already turned bright red, his head hung low, and his body was trembling slightly.

  It was the girl who spoke up.

  "Sir Su, don't blame my brother, he has done his best."

  The girl's voice was very small, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't hear it clearly.

  "Sister, don't say anything more, what Young Master said is all because of me being useless."

  The seemingly weak girl didn't back down this time. She lifted her head, looked at Su Tiancheng, and although her face was flushed, her eyes were very determined.

  "My name is Wang Furong, can you listen to my explanation, young master?"

  Su Tiancheng nodded unconsciously and immediately said a sentence that killed the atmosphere.

  "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, if it's convenient, I'll invite you to have something to eat and talk while eating."

  Wang Daizhi did not refuse and nodded his head.

  Wang Furong did not speak and did not deny it either.

  The temple fair was surrounded by food stalls, Su Tiancheng found a place selling wontons and ordered four bowls of beef wontons, two for Wang Dazhi, one for Wang Furong, and one for himself. In fact, he couldn't finish eating it, but if he didn't eat, watching the two siblings eat would have a different meaning, which would definitely hurt people's self-esteem.

  When the dumplings were served, Su Tiancheng said he had eaten something in the morning and while speaking, he pushed most of the dumplings from his bowl into Wang Furong's bowl.

  Wang Furong had almost two bowls of wontons and was already very full, but Wang Dazhi's two bowls of wontons were not enough, so he added another bowl. Su Tiancheng nodded secretly, thinking that a big appetite proved good health.

  While eating dumplings, it's naturally not possible to talk about things. Su Tiancheng had long emphasized that "eating without speaking" and "sleeping without talking" was actually thinking of letting the two siblings eat their fill.

  After eating the wontons, Wang Furong's complexion improved a lot. It seemed that she was starved before. As for Wang Dazhi, it goes without saying.

  It might have been Su Tiancheng's attitude that touched Wang Dazhi, and his eyes softened a bit.

  No wonder, Su Tiancheng is very attentive to details, and these details are precisely a manifestation of respect for others.

  As Wang Furong spoke, Su Tiancheng finally learned of their family's experiences.

  Wang Daizhi left home at the age of 10 and went to a temple, becoming a lay disciple. In fact, being a lay disciple meant doing odd jobs in the temple, which was also due to the family's difficult living conditions.

  After several years of disasters, the temple could no longer be maintained, and Wang Dazhi left the temple to return home. At that time, his father was under too much pressure and died from illness and starvation. Originally an agricultural household, they had been relying on selling land to make a living due to the continuous disasters. By this year, all the land had been sold out, the remaining grain had been eaten, and they still owed a lot of debt, with no way out.

  In such a situation, Wang Furong had thought of selling herself many times to get silver and help her family pay off debts, so that her mother could continue to live.

  Wang Furong was quite well-known in the village and had some reputation, many matchmakers came to propose marriage, but unfortunately, the situation of the other family was not good either. Wang Furong thought about her own family's situation and did not agree.

  The father had passed away, and the two siblings quarreled at home for a while. Wang Dazhi firmly disagreed with his sister's choice, but he had just returned home and couldn't think of any other way, so today's scene appeared.

  Just now Su Tiancheng's words made Wang Dazhi feel ashamed, but in fact he didn't understand the situation of farmers, especially tenant farmers. With a body like Wang Dazhi's, it's not easy to find work. A good body means a big appetite, and ordinary families won't take him in. Besides, these years have been plagued by disasters and difficulties everywhere.

  After hearing all this, Su Tiancheng made a decision quickly.

  "Wang Dazhi, I was wrong about you earlier, don't mind it."

  "The young master is right, it's all because I'm not good enough, from now on I will never do such a thing again."

  "Your father has passed away and hasn't been buried yet, how are you going to handle it?"

  Wang Dazhi and Wang Furong both lowered their heads, the house was empty, there was nothing, they had been out of food for two days, if they couldn't think of a way to continue, the whole family would starve to death. There were many such families around, everyone was struggling to survive themselves and could not help them.

  The place where the two of them lived was more than ten miles away from the city, and even if they were riding in a carriage, it wouldn't take too long.

  Su Tiancheng has already felt that Wang Dazhi is actually a loyal and honest person, only such people would have such extreme views, once the knot in his heart is untied, future development will be very good.

  "Alright, since things have come this far, I'll follow you and take a look. Father has passed away, after all, he needs to be buried."

  When Su Tiancheng said this sentence, both Wang Dazhi and Wang Furong were stunned, and for a moment they did not react.

  They had long felt that the young master Su in front of them was indeed a good person, and both of them had moved their hearts. If they could follow this young master Su, their future life would definitely be guaranteed.

  Splashing

  Wang Daizhi suddenly knelt down in front of Su Tiancheng.

  "Su Gongzi, your great kindness and virtue, I don't know how to repay."

  Su Tiancheng was somewhat surprised, this kneeling and bowing was no ordinary courtesy, but Wang Dazhi was also very honest, if someone slightly smarter would have said to follow him closely, but Wang Dazhi just couldn't say it.

  Seeing Wang Furong also preparing to kneel down, Su Tiancheng hurriedly pulled up Wang Dazhi.

  "A boy under the knee has a thousand gold, it's not that you see everyone kneeling down, Wang Da Zhi, remember this point."

  Wang Daizhi did not get up.

  "My lord, I know you are a good man, you are the real good person I have ever seen."

  The carriage was quickly found, and it took no more than an hour to go back and forth. Su Tiancheng thought for a moment and didn't go to find Su Er Tong, but went to Wang Da Zhi's home instead. When he came back, he could still meet with Su Er Tong.

  He didn't expect that when he was about to get on the horse carriage, Su Er came over. This guy is quite clever and can actually sense it.
