Chapter 1234: Successful Transformation Plan
The Xu family harbored no ill will toward the three children, nor did they intend to forcibly take them back. So, the Su family accepting Xu Shengâand allowing him to serve as the vital link between the children and the Xu familyâwas perfectly reasonable.
After all, the children had inherited the wealth, giving them a head start in life; everything would be easier for them from here on out. This was a blessing, and Gu Zi had done remarkably wellâwhat could anyone possibly object to?
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Bing found Su Shen and Gu Zi. With a quiet but firm voice, he said, âMom, Dad, I donât hate my birth mother anymore. Iâm grateful to her, because sheâs Dadâs sister. Without her, I wouldnât be Dadâs child, and I wouldnât have met Mom. I donât hate the Xu family either, but I will never go back to the Xu family. I am forever a child of the Su family.â
Gu Zi pulled him into a warm embrace. âIâm glad you see it that way. If hate only weighs you down, then donât carry it. From now on, we will all live in happiness.â
She felt a swell of relief. The dark, vengeful Su Bing from the original storyâwho grew up with a heart full of grudges and a thirst for revengeâwas finally free from the fog of hatred. Her efforts to change him had truly succeeded.
As for Su Li, his transformation was even more remarkable. He had become skilled in martial arts but had abandoned fighting altogether. Gu Zi had overheard Su Liâs recent phone call with Shi Tou, who lived far away in Daqing Village. Aunt Zhang helped keep an eye on the old family home in the village, and Gu Zi made sure the pig farm regularly sent money to Aunt Zhang as payment for her services.
Aunt Zhangâs husband also worked at the pig farm. Their income was steady, and their life was comfortable. Shi Tou had reached the age to start elementary school, so Aunt Zhang sent him to the town school each day and picked him up afterward.
Shi Tou, initially bullied by the town kids for being a village child, had one day had enoughâhe fought back and beat the bullies into submission. From that moment on, he was the undisputed leader of his class.
Shi Tou confided in Su Li that once he returned, he would lead his âbrosâ to follow Su Li, ready to make a big impact. Though his voice was childish, the tone was unmistakably commandingâthe unmistakable air of a gang leader-in-training.
Gu Zi felt a flutter of worry. She had worked so hard to steer Su Li onto a better path, not to have him slip back into the original storyâs dark role as a gang boss.
Just as she was about to speak, Su Li said firmly, âShi Tou, I donât fight anymore. I canât be your gang leader. Mom says fighting is wrong. Fists donât solve everything. Iâm going to study hard now. When I come back to Daqing Village, Iâll inherit my dadâs pig farm and lead the whole village to prosperity.â
Shi Tou was silent for a moment before responding earnestly, âThen I wonât fight either, Su Li. Iâll study hard. When you come back, weâll make the pig farm bigger and stronger. I want to be your right-hand man. Weâll make money together!â
Gu Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly her sonâSu Li had grown up, understanding that fists werenât the answer, and was even able to guide Shi Tou positively. That was truly a win.
As for Su Le, she had become the little tyrant of the household and ruled her school with an iron charm. Boys and girls alike fawned over her, hanging on her every word.
Gu Zi was confident Su Le would never grow up like the original storyâs versionâsubmissive and self-deprecating in love. With that, her entire plan for raising the children had come to a splendid conclusion.
Su Li only learned the truth about his origins after Su Jing left to study abroad. He didnât harbor much resentment toward the Xu family; those harsh days of being beaten were now little more than a distant memory. All he knew was that he had parents, siblings, and a happy, loving family. He was proudâtruly proud.
He and Xu Sheng called each other brothers, slinging arms around one anotherâs shoulders, but Su Liâs words were sharp. âYouâre my cousin, yes, but I asked my brother, and we will never be Xu family. We are children of the Su family. Weâll be bros, but forget about being cousins.â
Xu Sheng looked at him with new respectâno longer thinking him foolishâand nodded indulgently. âWhatever you say. As long as I get to hang out with you, Iâm happy.â
The moment Xu Sheng said âhang out,â Su Li immediately raised a hand. âNo way, Xu Sheng. From now on, weâre going to study hard together. My brother said Iâm going to inherit the pig farm one day and lead our village to wealth. If I donât have the education, how can I do that?â
Xu Sheng stared at him in disbelief. âSo you didnât invite me here today to play?â
