Chapter 144 Recognition
Su He signaled to Juhua to untie Chen Wen's hands.
"What's your second uncle's name?"
Chen Wen only felt someone gently wiping his eyes, and his eyes, which were stung by tears and sunlight, suddenly felt much more comfortable.
He knew that this person was definitely not a human trafficker, but he was unwilling to answer Su He easily.
"There is a mother next to your grandma, her name is Zhang Yuan, do you know her?"
What? How come even the people around grandma know about this person?
"Is there a word in your name?"
Chen Wen opened his eyes again, "Who are you?"
"My name is Lotus, and the one next to me is Chrysanthemum. We used to be maids in the old lady's mansion."
Su He has actually confirmed that this young boy is Chen Wen. What a coincidence.
"Nuo, is this your jade pendant?"
At this time, Juhua had helped Chen Wen up. Chen Wen leaned weakly on Juhua, looking at the jade pendant handed to him.
"Why is this here with you?"
Su He didn't answer, but turned around and asked Mu Tou to fetch some water.
"Mu Tou, go to the kitchen and tell Liu Niang to make some porridge, and then bring a bowl of warm water to this brother."
Mu Tou agreed and ran out again, dragging his two sisters and Tietou.
"People from our village were on their way to Su'an County and stayed here the night before yesterday... I found it from a human trafficker."
Su He smiled slightly, "Can you tell me your second uncle's name now?"
Chen Wen looked at the calm woman in front of him, "My uncle's name is Zhao Qingli."
Right.
"That's right, your second aunt's surname is Qian, and she gave birth to a daughter named Zhao Xiuyao, right?"
"The old lady went to the south after the New Year. I left the house a year earlier. The Juhua who was holding your hand was the one who left the house before your grandmother went to Yunhe. Don't worry, we are not bad people."
Su He felt relieved when he saw that the boy in front of him was less defensive.
"Your clothes are dirty. I have a new set made by my younger brother, the one that the boy just left. He is about the same height as you. If you don't mind, you can wear it for now."
Chen Wen then looked down at his clothes. He had no idea whose clothes they belonged to. They were tattered and smelled bad. These were the rags that even the servants in his stable disliked.
Chen Wen was embarrassed and angry, "My clothes were changed by them."
"Drink some water first."
Su He took the warm water handed to him by Mu Tou and brought it to Chen Wen's mouth.
Chen Wen had been used to being served since he was a child, so he opened his mouth subconsciously.
After Su He fed him a bowl of water, Juhua wiped Chen Wen's mouth.
"Mu Tou, ask Liu Niang to boil some hot water. My brother will need it later. Boil more."
Mu Tou took the bowl, nodded, and left with his younger brother and sister.
"Master Wen, you are not feeling well. Do you want my brother to help you wash, or do you want Juhua to do it?"
Su He considerately gave Chen Wen two options. This was a God of Wealth, and she had been his savior again this time. The old lady's thank-you gift must be very generous, and Chen Wen's parents were definitely not stingy people.
The Chen family is really a blessing for her. Look, the opportunity to make money is here again.
Thinking of this, Su He's smile became even more enthusiastic.
"Master Wen, if you have any needs, just let us know and we will try our best to meet them. We will set off when the rain stops, and when we reach the dock in Su'an County, we will take a boat to take you home."
Chen Wen's eyes lit up, "Are you willing to take me home?"
"Of course, we were going south. But we were planning to settle down in Su'an County, where there is a dock. I think there must be a ship going to Yunhe. We are also worried about Master Wen being alone, so I will find some people to accompany you."
Su He never mentioned that she was about to leave for Yunhe.
"Will you come with me?"
Chen Wen looked at Su He nervously. She was the first good person he met after being kidnapped. Chen Wen really wanted her to be with him.
How could Su He not go? If she didn't go, who would ask Chen for benefits? Such an opportunity to make a fortune doesn't come easily.
"Master Wen, do you want me to go? Of course I am willing to go. When we get to Yunhe, it will be a good opportunity for me to pay my respects to the old lady."
Chen Wen smiled happily, "Mother Zhang said there was a maid named Lotus in Huaihe who saved grandma. Was it you?"
Su He was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Mother Zhang would mention her to the young master in the mansion.
"The old lady is kind and kind to me. This is what I should do. I didn't expect that Madam Zhang would mention this to the young master?"
Chen Wen felt a little guilty. In fact, Zhang's mother didn't tell him, he just overheard it.
When Mother Zhang first arrived in Yunhe, she was busy buying maids. She was somewhat dissatisfied with the maids she bought, so she mentioned Su He.
"Although that damn girl He Hua is obsessed with money, she is much more capable than these ugly people."
Chen also agreed, "Yes, He Hua is a good person, she saved me, and she has a connection with our family. Having produced talents like He Hua, these people are indeed not worthy of our attention."
Chen Wen, who was hiding at the door, heard it and remembered the name Lotus.
So this time when he woke up and heard Su He introduce himself, he already had some faith that they were not bad people.
Su He chatted with Chen Wen for a while and took the opportunity to ask Chen Wen why he was kidnapped by the kidnapper.
"It was me. I wanted to go to the border to make merit and win an imperial decree for my mother. I was afraid that my mother would stop me, so I brought two servants with me. But I left a letter, and my mother would know where I was going after reading it."
Chen Wen spoke nervously, looking at Su He's face as he spoke. He told his cousin at home about his ideal, and those people laughed at him behind his back. They didn't believe that he could do it.
Su He nodded in agreement, "The young master's intention is good, and he is filial and worthy of praise."
Chen Wen relaxed when he saw this. "But, Master should make more preparations."
"What preparations? I brought two thousand taels of silver with me when I came out. But it was stolen."
Chen Wen asked curiously. Thinking of the unpleasant experience, he became dejected. Two thousand taels was all the money he had.
Su He laughed to himself, what a naive child.
"Young Master, since you want to make meritorious service at the border, do you know some martial arts? There should be some conditions for being a soldier at the border, such as age. I think the recruits should be at least 16 years old, right? In any case, young master, you are definitely not old enough."
"Besides, you should be the eldest lady's only son, right? Your family is not as rich as a country, but it's not much worse. If something happens to you, what will your parents do? If you lose your father, you can still remarry and have a son, but your mother will only have you in this life. Just think about how sad she will be."
Su He could say this out of consideration for Chen, otherwise whether the other person lived or died would have nothing to do with her.
Chen Wen was moved to tears by what Su He said. Although he was naive, he knew that his mother could only feel more comfortable at home if she relied on him.
He was indeed reckless.
"I'm sorry to my mother."
Su He looked at the fair and tender young master who started crying, and she hurried to comfort him.
"It's okay. Fortunately, you are safe now, young master. Don't worry, we will write to you as soon as we arrive in Su'an."
"Sister, the porridge is ready. Do you want to give it to brother?"
Mu Tou poked his head out, followed by Tie Tou, Tian Tian and Miao Miao.
Chen Wen sobbed and looked over. The four heads at the door were all looking at him. He felt embarrassed to cry because he was older than these children.
"Serve it."
At Su He's command, four people came in.
"Master, do you want me to feed you?"
Chen Wen was about to open his mouth when he saw the children staring at him from under the kang and his face turned red for no apparent reason.
"I'll do it myself."
Chen Wen wanted to carry it himself, but he was too weak and could only lift a spoon, so Su He was responsible for carrying the bowl.
Chen Wen finished the bowl of porridge under the gaze of everyone.
"Master, you haven't eaten properly for a long time. Your stomach is weak. Eat this to fill your stomach first. When you feel better, I will give you meat and vegetables."
Su He explained quietly, fearing that the rich man would think she was withholding money and not giving her a good meal.
