"No, I bought these from the supply and marketing cooperative in the city." Su Miaomiao shook her head, then looked at Huo Wenbo standing next to her.

"Brother, open the bag in your hand. It should contain the clothes I bought for you."

After hearing this, Huo Wenbo quickly opened the bag in his hand.

As expected, they were all thick cotton-padded clothes.

He said how come the bag was so big and not too big, it turned out it was filled with clothes?

"And Dad, the quilt in your hand is the one I bought for you. I only bought two. Just make do with them for now. I'll find a chance to buy a few more later." Su Miaomiao spoke again.

Huo Jianguo was also stunned and quickly opened the package.

There was a clean and soft duvet inside.

Tang Chunlan could tell at a glance that the quilt was worth a lot of money.

This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can afford in Beijing.

Now, the expressions on everyone's faces became serious.

"Miao Miao, you are not going to use all the savings to buy things for our family?" Huo Jianguo said in a serious voice.

"Ah?" Su Miaomiao was a little confused for a moment.

"I heard from the village chief that you went to the city to help the village sell medicinal herbs. Did you use all the money from selling the herbs to buy things for our family?" Huo Jianguo spoke a little more directly.

When Su Miaomiao heard this, she laughed out loud.

"Dad, is this what I am in your eyes?"

"No, of course I know you are not that kind of person. But... to buy these things, even if you sell all the gifts your family gave you before, it still won't be enough." Huo Jianguo was of course willing to believe Su Miaomiao.

This is his biological daughter.

Even though I was sent down with them without knowing it, I never complained.

He has even been actively working to help and improve his family.

But the things in front of him also made him doubt.

"How dare you doubt your daughter!" Tang Chunlan became unhappy when she heard this and punched Huo Jianguo hard.

"I... I just want to make things clear so as to avoid... getting into trouble again." Huo Jianguo did not fight back or talk back when he was beaten or scolded.

"You can't doubt Miaomiao. Didn't you see that she bought these things for us? If something really happens, I, as an aunt, will take responsibility for her!" Tang Chunlan said in a firm tone.

"Mom, there's no need for you to show up. There are a few of us here too." Huo Wenbo spoke immediately.

"Yes, we will protect our sister!" Huo Minxue and Huo Xinyuan said in unison.

"You young people are in your prime. If anything really happens, it won't be your turn. Just let us two old men take care of it. Anyway, we have lived long enough." Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo also stood up.

“…”

Su Miaomiao felt helpless as she watched them all vying to take the blame for her baseless charges.

I had to explain quickly, fearing that if I was too slow these people would go and surrender themselves to the village chief.

"I don't have any money in the village. I bought all these things with my own money."

"Yourself? Where did you get so much money?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

"My adoptive father is a butcher. He never got married and I am his only daughter. Before he died, he left me a large dowry. Most of these things were bought with my dowry, after all, it was rare for me to go to the city." Su Miaomiao said.

"Dowry? You took away all your dowry money?" When Tang Chunlan heard this, her voice became much higher and her eyes turned red again.

"It's okay. I don't have any plans to get married in the short term anyway, so just use it as an emergency measure. And I believe that when I really get married, you will prepare a dowry for me, right?" Su Miaomiao's last words were purely to comfort Tang Chunlan.
