Free Web NovelChapter 97: Chapter 97: Sweep Su Li
He appeared behind Su Li this time. Su Li had been battling a math problem for ages without solving it. Just as she was agonizing over it, a voice suddenly came from behind her, "That’s wrong."
Su Li whipped her head around and saw Wu Sheng’s perpetually pitch-black face.
"You wrote this part wrong..." Wu Sheng continued, looking at Su Li’s problem.
Su Li clutched her chest. "You scared me to death!"
’He’s like a ghost!’
"I’ve been sitting here for half an hour. It’s your fault for not noticing me again."
Wu Sheng sounded aggrieved. He shook his head and came to a conclusion once again, "You really are a bookworm."
Su Li: "..."
She backed away a little. "You really sat there for another half an hour?"
’Why didn’t I even hear him breathing!’
"No... more like fifteen minutes. I was going to wait for you to finish this problem, but after fifteen minutes, you still couldn’t solve it, so I couldn’t help myself."
Wu Sheng took the book and pen directly from Su Li’s hands and quickly scribbled down the solution for her.
Wu Sheng’s handwriting was strong and powerful, written in a flamboyant, cursive style. His handwriting truly reflected his personality.
"I helped you with your problem, so you can come help me now," Wu Sheng said.
Su Li glanced at him. "Alright. How can I help?"
"Let’s go." Wu Sheng stood up.
Su Li hesitated. "What about my cattle?"
’He’s not going to tie them to the back of a motorcycle again like last time, is he?’
"Someone will watch your cattle for you." As Wu Sheng spoke, his gaze fixed on something ahead.
A few seconds later, Wa Wa Lian’s face appeared.
"Boss, you didn’t even wait for me..." he said, out of breath. Seeing Su Li, he hastily greeted her, "Sist... Su Li."
He’d almost blurted out "sister-in-law," but thankfully, he managed to swallow the word back down.
Wa Wa Lian gave a stiff smile.
Su Li also offered a stiff smile. ’Sist-Su Li? What the heck is that supposed to mean?’
Su Li glanced at Wa Wa Lian in confusion, then looked at Wu Sheng. "He’s going to watch them for me?"
The memory of Wa Wa Lian’s impressive and imposing demeanor was still fresh in her mind. ’Isn’t it a bit of a waste of talent to have someone like him watch cattle?’
Wu Sheng understood her expression. "Yes. This is about all he’s good for."
Wa Wa Lian: "..."
"Is this really okay?" Su Li confirmed one last time.
"It’s fine. He can’t help with the translation, and neither can I. In that area, you’re the most skilled and useful," Wu Sheng replied.
Only then did Su Li nod.
After sliding down the hill, Su Li saw the same three-wheeled motorcycle from before.
After they got on and hit the road, Su Li looked at Wu Sheng’s face and suddenly asked a question.
"Have you not washed your face this whole time?"
Wu Sheng tilted his head. "Huh? How did you know?"
Su Li: "..."
Half an hour later, the motorcycle stopped. Su Li looked around. "Weren’t we farther away last time?"
"Yes. We can’t always stay in the same spot," Wu Sheng explained casually.
Su Li heard his explanation and didn’t dwell on it.
This casual conversation between them was, unbeknownst to them, causing extreme frustration for the Blue Team.
Wu Sheng’s team had been infiltrating deeper and deeper, and the Blue Team couldn’t figure out why, coming up with countless possible reasons.
They never imagined it was all because of Su Li.
Who could blame them? The hill where Su Li grazed her cattle was so far out that, to make it easier to find her, Wu Sheng’s team naturally had to keep moving their position forward.
As long as they didn’t go outside the exercise area, it was fine.
In the past five days, Wu Sheng’s team had even taken the offensive, capturing countless prisoners who were all being held in one location.
Although the Blue Team was still holding on, they were only barely hanging in there.
Standing outside the POW camp, Su Li listened to the conversations deliberately spoken in German, then translated them for Wu Sheng. With that, her mission was complete.
After she was done listening, Wu Sheng sent Su Li back again.
The next day, Wu Sheng didn’t come looking for Su Li’s help, but Su Li received a letter from Tang Yuanxiao.
This was the letter Tang Yuanxiao had written right after taking Su Li’s call.
"...You said on the phone that nothing was wrong, but I have a bad feeling. Su Li, you should just come find me."
"I’ll get everything ready here. I’ve also had someone ask about job opportunities for you. You won’t have to worry about a thing after you arrive."
"Once you’ve had some time to adjust, you can start working..."
"Of course, if you don’t want to work, that’s fine too. You can look after Momo and chat and socialize with the other wives here."
"...They also approved a plot of land for us. We can plant radishes, which you and Momo both love to eat..."
Tang Yuanxiao rambled on and on in the letter, with everything he wrote aimed at persuading her to go to him.
At the very end of the letter, Tang Yuanxiao wrote:
"Su Li, no matter what happens, don’t be nervous or afraid. If you can handle it, handle it. If you can’t, just come find me. You can come anytime."
A money remittance slip came with the letter.
Tang Yuanxiao hadn’t listened to Su Li; the remittance was still made out in her name. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The money Su Li had stuffed back to him at the train station, he had sent back again.
"...I’ve sent the money to you. Remember to go pick it up." Regarding the money, this was all Tang Yuanxiao said.
Other than telling her to come find him, Tang Yuanxiao didn’t mention the word "divorce" at all.
Su Li read the letter, her brows tightly furrowed.
’Why do I get the strange feeling that something’s off with Tang Yuanxiao after reading this letter?’
’The things he’s saying don’t sound like they’re from someone who is supposed to be getting a divorce in six months.’
’The whole letter is filled with the feeling of building a life together, as if our agreement to divorce in six months never existed.’
"Did he get amnesia or something?" Su Li muttered, her brow furrowed.
Although, through recent events, Su Li knew she had also misunderstood Tang Yuanxiao in her past life, and her resentment toward him had lessened.
’But my plan to divorce him hasn’t changed.’
’A divorce is still a divorce. It’s just that some of the resentment in my heart has faded.’
"Mommy, what’s wrong?" Little Tang Mo, who had been watching from the side for a long time, finally couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh, it’s nothing." Su Li shook her head. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Can I see Daddy’s letter?" Little Tang Mo requested.
"Of course, you can. Here, see how many words you can recognize." Su Li handed the letter to Little Tang Mo.
"Okay!" Little Tang Mo immediately replied happily.
Su Li thought for a moment. "Little Mo, you can even write a reply to your dad. For any words you don’t know how to write, you can use pinyin."
That’s right. Little Tang Mo had already finished learning numbers and pinyin, and was now learning simple Chinese characters and basic addition and subtraction.
Although Su Li felt he was still young and didn’t push him to write much, it was fine for him to write a little something for Tang Yuanxiao.
Little Tang Mo was so brilliant that he had almost finished the primers Su Li had bought for him. Su Li planned to go to the county town again on the next market day to take care of some things and buy more books.
Su Li had seen how children were taught in her past life. She later read many books and learned a lot, developing her own methods for early education.
Little Tang Mo was learning so quickly that Su Li deliberately slowed down the pace and started to introduce other kinds of knowledge.
Music, drawing, calligraphy—all these were things she wanted to introduce to him. Su Li had found ways to start on them a little and planned to look for books on these subjects in the county town as well.
Although his early education had only just begun, Little Tang Mo was doing quite well.
"This is ’Ma’... this is ’Momo’... this is ’Su Li’... hehe..." Little Tang Mo took the letter and began to study it seriously, searching for characters and giggling to himself as he did.
Little Tang Mo had specifically learned to recognize the characters for Su Li, Tang Yuanxiao, and Tang Mo’s names before, and he remembered them.
"This is ’one’... this is ’big’..."
Little Tang Mo earnestly read the letter from beginning to end, not even sparing the back of the page.
