Chapter 88
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law looking like reincarnated ghosts from starvation, Mrs. Zhao regretted being instigated by the two of them to find her daughter.

"Jin Man, your eldest aunt has caused you trouble today, it's hard for you, child!"

"Grandma, it's not my aunt who took it. Although we don't dress well, our hands and feet are clean. If we were anyone, we would explain it to my aunt."

Although the old lady Zhao is uneducated, she has lived in this era longer than Su Jinman, and her heart is like a mirror.

"Anyway, thanks to you today, Xiuhe has a girl like you, and the days to come will not be worse."

Fan Shenglan, who had finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, was a little unhappy when she heard what the old lady said. Zhao Sheng had been scolding her for a long time just now, so why is the old lady still relentless?

"Mother, I'm not happy for you to say that. You saw it today. I was at a disadvantage. The key is that I didn't take the things. I was wronged."

"Shut up, you have nothing to do, go upstairs to see what, if you wait with us down there, can something like this happen? You can take care of yourself, if you go to jail, your son and daughter will still be there." What can you say to be a good in-law and affect the second family, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Zhao's words made Fan Shenglan shut up. What the old man said was true. If Su Jinman hadn't found the silk handkerchief, she wouldn't be able to speak clearly even with ten mouths. If she really went to jail, it would be the end of the Zhao family. Disaster, maybe Zhao Sheng will divorce her in order to save the child, then she really has only a dead end.

"Grandma, this matter is over, and the eldest aunt should be more careful in the future."

Su Jinman's words temporarily eased the atmosphere in the carriage, but no one was talking. When they got home, Su Sanlang and Zhao Sheng helped Zhu Wenfu unload things. Su Jinman helped Mrs. Zhao into the house to rest, and Fan Shenglan naturally followed them Let's go into the house together.

Zhao Xiuhe, who saw Mrs. Zhao, came forward to care with a smile on her face.

"Mother, why did you come back so early, and didn't go shopping for a while."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't tell her daughter-in-law badly in front of her daughter, so she said with a smile.

"I'm old and useless. I'm tired after walking around for a while. It's not too early to come back."

Su Jinman didn't mention what happened today, she just held Zhao Xiuhe's arm, like a child offering treasure.

"Mom, look what I bought for my brother?"

After finishing speaking, she took out a piece of cloth from the cuff, carefully opened it, and there were more than a dozen things lying inside, and then she handed the things to its owner one by one.

Mrs. Zhao was the one who moved the most. She didn't expect her granddaughter to be so careful. She just looked at the things twice, and her granddaughter actually bought them. Why don't she be moved?
The gold hairpin customized for Zhao Xiuhe was ordered by a buddy on a whim today, so I haven't brought it back yet. The old lady Zhao saw that everyone had it, but Zhao Xiuhe didn't see it, so she asked curiously.

"Jin Man, where's your mother?"

"My mother's isn't ready yet, I'll bring it back to my mother next time I go to town."

Fan Shenglan, who was proud of wearing a silver hairpin, said flatteringly to Mrs. Zhao.

"Let me just say, this girl is so careful, how could she not buy it for her mother!"

"Whether Jin Man buys it for me is secondary. Now that she is the mother of the baby, she doesn't care much about these things."

What Zhao Xiuhe said was the truth, now she is focused on how to raise her son well, other things are really not important to her.

Seeing that they would chat for a while, Su Jinman excused herself to be tired, so she went back to her room to rest.

When eating in the evening, Zhu Wenfu came in and said that a boy from Wangjiabao came to look for Su Jinman, and Su Jinman put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out.

What the servant delivered was a message, and we made an appointment to meet at the Taihesheng Restaurant in the town tomorrow.

Su Jinman nodded, indicating that he would go to the appointment on time tomorrow, and the servant got the promise, so he turned around and left on horseback.

Looking at the young servant who left in the dust, Su Jinman was looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. It seems that he has been too boring recently, so he happened to go to Huichun Hall tomorrow.

After learning that it was the young master of Wangjiabao who asked Su Jinman to meet, Zhao Sheng and Fan Shenglan were more excited than the person involved, and wished to go there in person.

What Zhao Xiuhe is worried about is that Su Jinman's reputation is not good now. If she adds the reputation of having a private meeting with a foreigner, she will really not be able to marry a good family.

"Mother will go for you tomorrow, okay?"

"Mother, I'm the one who's making an appointment. If you go, I'm afraid he will get angry and won't help us."

Hearing what Su Jinman said, Fan Shenglan was the first to step forward to stop Zhao Xiuhe.

"Little sister, I know what you are worried about. I will accompany Jin Man tomorrow, so don't worry, I will definitely not let my eldest niece's reputation be damaged."

Su Jinman was really convinced, she didn't expect Zhao Xiuhe to be worried about this, but she almost forgot how immoral it is for men and women to meet in private in this era.

"Mom, why don't I bring Zhu Qiao with me tomorrow, and I'll ask my aunt to help with the lunch. Anyway, they are all from my own family and there are no outsiders, so it should be fine."

Mrs. Zhao was the first to agree.

"That's a good idea. I don't think it's a big deal. I'm here to help Feng'er with errands. What does her mother cook for a few meals?"

The old lady Zhao said everything like this, and it was hard for Fan Shenglan to refuse, after all, she was still a little girl, and her reputation could not be lost.

"Success, I've been busy for the past two days, and I'll just practice my hands tomorrow."

After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms.

Early the next morning, after Su Jinman had breakfast, she asked Zhu Wenfu to hitch a car, took Zhu Qiao and went out. Zhu Miao is very used to staying at home alone now. She knows that Madam treats her well. See Seeing the eldest sister and elder brother go out, after waving goodbye, they are so cute that it makes people feel distressed.

"Zhu Miao is really sensible. This is the first time you have left her."

"Yes, miss, Miao Miao lost her parents when she was four years old, and she has been following me, unable to leave me for a moment. I didn't expect that she didn't cry today. Has she grown up?"

"It's okay, we'll go back tonight."

"Miss, I know, you don't have to worry about me, just do your own thing, I will accompany you, and I will protect you well."

"Don't be so nervous, it's not like you're going to rob, I'll take you to Qi Fangzhai to buy some pastries when I go back later, Miao Miao will definitely like them."

"Miss, you don't have to spoil Miao Miao so much."

"It's okay. I've always regarded her as my younger sister. Next year, I will invite my wife to my house to teach everyone how to read and write."

Zhu Qiao didn't expect Miss to have such an arrangement. She was really flattered and often made herself forget her duty.

"No need, it will cost a lot of money?"

Su Jinman didn't explain, but just smiled. After all, this matter is still far away, and it won't be too late to talk about it when the moment really comes.
