Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 9: I Can't Survive Anymore

The days passed by in a cycle of concealing one's abilities during the day and cultivating diligently at night, and before they knew it, a month had gone by.

Su Ming's eyes were much brighter than before, and the entire person resembled a small blade of grass stubbornly growing through cracks in stone, exuding a silent tenacity.

His changes were noticed by everyone in the household.

At the dinner table, Wang Chuntao's sarcastic remarks had decreased significantly, because she discovered that this younger brother-in-law was much more efficient at chores than before, whether chopping firewood or carrying water, never complaining of exhaustion.

Mrs. Chen, on the other hand, felt increasingly heartache for him, always trying to find ways to prepare some tasty treats for him.

The one who had changed the most was Su Shan.

One evening, Su Shan returned from town carrying a small package.

During dinner, in front of the whole family, he opened that oil-paper wrapped package.

Inside weren't food items, but rather a stack of hemp paper, a small ink stick, and a brand new writing brush.

"For... for me?" Su Ming was stunned.These items would cost the family several days' worth of expenses.

"Mm." Su Shan squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth, pushing the items toward Su Ming. "Teacher Zhou said you... are diligent. Stop using charcoal sticks."

Su Feng and Wang Chuntao both stared in astonishment.

Su Yang, however, smiled. He patted Su Ming's shoulder, his eyes filled with heartfelt relief.

Su Ming's eyes instantly reddened. He grasped that writing brush that still carried the scent of ink, holding it as if it were the most precious treasure in the entire world.

"Father..."

"Eat!" Su Shan roughly cut him off, burying his head in his bowl to shovel rice.
