Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 137 Recalling the Past, Teaching Future Generations

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling have entered their twilight years. They sat in the garden of the Marquis's mansion, the sunlight shining on their wrinkled faces.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Su Jinxiu smiled, her eyes sparkling with tenderness.

Xiao Ling gently held her hand, "How could I forget that you were like a flower in spring, beautiful and charming."

They reminisced about the ups and downs they had gone through together, those difficult days and those sweet moments, as if it had happened just yesterday.

"When the Marquis's mansion faced a crisis back then, we ran around everywhere, trying every possible way to deal with it. It was really not easy," Su Jinxiu said with emotion.

Xiao Ling nodded, "But it is precisely those hardships that have made us stronger and brought the Marquis's Mansion to its current glory."

They recalled their perilous encounters in the ruins, the mysterious ancient legends, and the efforts they had made to find the truth.

"I still remember how we almost got trapped in those mysterious ruins and couldn't get out," Su Jinxiu said with lingering fear.

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Fortunately, we were lucky and eventually found a way out."

Speaking of the fierce struggle against the new forces, those thrilling battles and life-or-death tests are still fresh in their minds.

“Those enemies are truly ruthless; thankfully, we weren’t defeated by them,” Su Jinxiu said.

Xiao Ling clenched his fist. "Justice will ultimately prevail over evil. We made it through."

They also recalled the gradual prosperity of the Marquis's mansion and the happy moments of having many descendants.

"Watching my children grow up, get married, and start their own families fills me with immense joy," Su Jinxiu said, her eyes brimming with satisfaction.

Xiao Ling sighed, "Yes, our efforts have not been in vain. The future of the Marquis's mansion rests on their shoulders."

However, there are also regrets in the memories.

"If we had spent more time with the children back then, things might have been better," Su Jinxiu said softly.

Xiao Ling sighed, "For the sake of the Marquis's mansion, we have indeed sacrificed a lot of time with our families."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.

"No matter what, we've lived a worthwhile life." Su Jinxiu leaned on Xiao Ling's shoulder.

Xiao Ling nodded. "With you by my side, that's enough."

They continued to immerse themselves in their memories, those beautiful, painful, exciting, and regretful events, which became the most precious treasures in their lives.

At this moment, the younger members of the Marquis's family came over.

"Grandpa and Grandma, you're reminiscing about the past again."

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling looked at the children, their faces beaming with happiness...

On that breezy afternoon, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling sat together with the younger generation, their eyes filled with love and expectation.

"Children, the road of life will not be smooth sailing; there will be bumps and hardships, but as long as you have faith in your hearts, there is no obstacle you cannot overcome." Xiao Ling's voice was steady and powerful.

The grandchildren listened attentively, their eyes filled with respect for their elders.

Su Jinxiu continued, "When interacting with others, one should be sincere and friendly, and never have any intention to harm others, but one should also be wary of others."

The little granddaughter blinked and asked, "Grandma, what if bad people bully us?"

Su Jinxiu smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, face it bravely, but don't act rashly. Use wisdom to resolve the crisis."

Looking at the children, Xiao Ling said earnestly, "On the road to pursuing your dreams, don't give up easily. When you encounter setbacks, learn to persevere. Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is losing the courage to start over."

Xiao Yu, the eldest son of Xiao Yu, said, "Grandpa, I'll remember."

Su Jinxiu continued, "The Marquis's Mansion is where it is today because of everyone's joint efforts. You must cherish this hard-won glory and understand the power of unity."

"A family must support and help each other. The future of the Marquis's mansion depends on you." Xiao Ling's gaze swept over each child.

Xiao Yao's daughter, Xiao Min, asked, "Grandpa and Grandma, how can we ensure that the Marquis's mansion continues to prosper?"

Su Jinxiu pondered for a moment and said, "We must keep learning and keep up with the times. We cannot be conservative; we must dare to innovate."

Xiao Ling added, "We must also have a benevolent heart and do practical things for the people. The foundation of the Marquis's mansion lies in the people; only with the support of the people can the Marquis's mansion last."

The children nodded in agreement, taking these teachings to heart.

However, as the children grow up, new problems gradually emerge.

Xiao Yu, young and impetuous, injured someone in a fight.

"How could you be so reckless!" Xiao Ling criticized sternly.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong."

Su Jinxiu comforted him, "It's good that you know you're wrong and can correct it. In the future, you should think more about the consequences of your actions."

Xiao Min made some mistakes due to her lack of experience in managing family affairs.

"Don't be discouraged, this is a necessary part of growing up," Su Jinxiu encouraged.

Xiao Ling also said, "By learning from failures, we won't make the same mistakes again next time."

Under the patient guidance of Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling, the children gradually matured and demonstrated outstanding talents in their respective fields.

Xiao Yu learned to control his temper and solve problems with wisdom. Xiao Min also accumulated rich experience and managed family affairs in an orderly manner.

Thanks to the efforts of the new generation, the Marquis's mansion continues to prosper.

"Seeing how well you've done, we're relieved," Su Jinxiu said with satisfaction.

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded: "The future of the Marquis's mansion is full of hope."

As time passed, the Marquis's reputation grew ever stronger, making them a model in people's eyes. The teachings of Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling served as a guiding light, leading the descendants of the Marquis's family forward towards an even more glorious future…
