Su Nanxi brought some pastries for Chen Ahua. Since both sides had come to visit, it wasn't appropriate to go too far, as social interactions were still necessary.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, but Chen Ahua's family had never eaten such pastries before and thought they were too precious to accept.

In the past, it was already a great blessing for his family to have something to eat. Whether it was soup or grains, they dared not ask for anything else, not even a bowl of white rice!

Later, after they became independent and earned some money, they bought some mixed grains and rice, which gave them the opportunity to eat better. However, delicious food was still a luxury for them.

Pastries like these were simply beyond their means, so Chen Ahua put her hands behind her back and didn't dare to accept them.

Su Nanxi had already helped their family a lot, and she felt that she would feel bad if she accepted the favor.

Chen Ahua felt that Su Nanxi had come to see the children, so these pastries were for the children to eat. Visiting her was just a side thing. She was already very touched that Su Nanxi came to see her, so how could she accept any gifts?

Su Nanxi didn't waste any words with her. She reached out and pulled Chen Ahua's hand over, then shoved the pastries into her hand. "Why can't I take them? It's just a little pastry, not much, just a couple of bites! As long as you don't say I'm stingy! If you don't take them, it means you think I didn't buy enough!"

Hearing this, Chen Ahua dared not refuse. She quickly took it, feeling grateful to Su Nanxi. She must have said that because she was afraid Su Nanxi wouldn't accept it!

"No! I don't think it's too little! I'll take it, I'll take it! Thank you, Su Su!"

Chen Ahua took the pastries and invited Su Nanxi to sit down next to her.

Su Nanxi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the stool next to her.

Chen Ahua looked at the pastries in her hand, hesitant to speak. Su Nanxi knew what she wanted to do without even thinking, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, let your mother have a taste!"

Chen Ahua was very happy to hear this; Su Su really understood her!

He answered and ran inside.

Su Nanxi glanced at the sewing basket Chen Ahua had placed on the stool, carefully picked it up, and examined it. "The embroidery is not bad!" she thought.

When Chen Ahua came out, she saw Su Nanxi looking at her embroidered handkerchief and smiled shyly, "My embroidery isn't very good, not as good as the young ladies in town. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Su Su. I'm working hard to practice. The shopkeeper said I have talent, and as long as I'm willing to work hard, I'll definitely be able to embroider beautifully!"

Needlework wasn't Su Nanxi's forte, so she didn't know how to evaluate it. In her opinion, as long as it wasn't like a centipede crawling, it was considered pretty.

Well, the main problem is that she doesn't understand!

Chen Ahua took the initiative to tell Su Nanxi about their situation. They were slowly adapting, but they hadn't settled down yet because Chen Qianshan's job was unstable, and her needlework earnings were also uncertain. They were working hard to create a stable life for themselves.

Tao's condition has improved a lot. Perhaps it's because she's in town and doesn't have to see those annoying people and things, which has changed her mindset. Once she relaxes, many worries disappear, her mental state gradually improves, and her illness naturally improves as well.

My head isn't as dizzy anymore, I can sit up for a while with some difficulty, my appetite has improved a lot, and I'm more cheerful.

Perhaps it was because the environment was quiet and suitable for recuperation, and because Ms. Tao was sleepy during her pregnancy and had little mental stress, that she slept very well and her complexion became rosy.

This made Chen Ahua and Chen Qianshan extremely happy; it seemed that living in town was the right decision.

If you lived in a village, there would be chaos every day, and the tension would be too great, which is not good for your health at all!

Although they are still very poor and don't have much money, they are content as a family, with everyone together and their loved ones healthy.

No matter how hard or tiring it was, they felt it was all worth it!

"Susu, do you know what? Those little rag dolls and toys are all the rage in town now. They're so cute, and everyone, adults and kids alike, wants to buy one! But they're quite expensive, and only one shop sells them! I went to ask, and they have pretty high requirements—you need a guarantor from someone you know, and the wages are high. My embroidery skills don't meet their standards, so I'm practicing like crazy whenever I have free time! If I could make one, I'd make one for Susu!"

When Chen Ahua remembered it, she told Su Nanxi about it, her eyes sparkling.

Su Nanxi lowered her eyes and nodded. Of course she knew about this, because it was her doing. She didn't tell Chen Ahua because she wanted Chen Ahua to work on improving her abilities. She couldn't always be the only one to get special treatment; it wouldn't last.

Hearing this girl say she wanted to make one for me too warmed my heart. Regardless of how well it turned out, the thought that came to it was wonderful!

Su Nanxi had given Mo Wenying the same opportunity, but unfortunately, Mo Wenying was only interested in money and not in working. She only wanted to enjoy herself and was unwilling to do any hard work!

In contrast, Chen Ahua didn't receive much preferential treatment, but she wasn't afraid of difficulties and worked hard to change and improve herself!

The difference becomes apparent; you wouldn't know unless you compared them!

As long as Chen Ahua is willing to work hard, she doesn't mind pulling her along. If things go well, she'll also benefit, and everyone will be happy!

Su Nanxi didn't expect Chen Ahua to be so talkative. She chatted with her for a long time, probably because she was bored. There are advantages and disadvantages to being here. The disadvantage is that she doesn't know many people and there are not many people she can really talk to!

The person next door is someone I know, but he's not an ordinary person; you can't really chat with an ordinary person!

So, only their family was left.

Tao often sleeps, and Chen Qianshan goes out to work during the day and comes back at night, but no one knows what to talk about. There really isn't anyone to talk to her.

Back in the village, although Chen Ahua didn't talk much, there were many people there, all of whom were acquaintances, and the environment was spacious, unlike in the town where she felt lonely with no one to talk to.

Su Nanxi discovered that Chen Ahua was not actually introverted, nor was she as indifferent to everything as before. This might really be a case of people changing when they change their environment!

Chen Ahua didn't ask about the village, probably because she didn't want to talk about troublesome things. Thinking about those unpleasant people and things would only make her feel bad, so she simply chose not to selectively forget and pretend she couldn't remember!

Seeing that Chen Ahua's family was alright, Su Nanxi felt relieved. As long as they didn't become lazy, things would gradually get better, with her there for them!

On the way back, Su Nanxi gave Xiao Wu a task: to investigate Mo Wenying!

We started investigating immediately after the divorce, leaving no stone unturned.

Su Nanxi suddenly remembered the amulet that Old Lady Mo had mentioned, and asked Xiao Wu to look it up as well.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that there was some connection between the two!

Although it's hard to pinpoint the exact connection, there's definitely some connection!

Mo Qinghe asked in surprise, "Wife, have you noticed something's wrong?"

Su Nanxi nodded, "Mm!"

"You suspect there's something wrong with my older sister? Was she switched at birth?"
