After those bastards were arrested, more people from the village were taken away the next day.

For a time, the villagers were in a panic, not knowing what had happened and having no way of guessing. People who had never done anything good were trying to check their memories to see if they had done anything wrong.

Even the most unruly women dared not act arrogantly anymore, and would quickly hide at home, afraid of getting into trouble without even realizing it!

As someone in the village once said, "Disaster comes from the mouth." Most people who get arrested are those who have a loose tongue and say things they shouldn't, yet they think they've gotten away with it!

How could I dare to say another word!

What was said unintentionally was taken seriously by the listener!

If someone reports on you behind your back, you'll be in deep trouble!

Let's be patient for now, lay low for a while, and see how things go!

Everything at the Mo family's house remained the same, as if nothing had happened.

Nothing really happened. They didn't do anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?

Go do what you're supposed to do!

It doesn't affect anything at all!

On the contrary, the Mo family felt much more comfortable. There were fewer unclean things in the village, and the air felt much fresher!

"Susu! Are you home?"

Chen Ahua called out from outside.

Su Nanxi responded and then slowly walked out to open the door.

It sounds like something good has happened; the voices are light and cheerful.

Sure enough, after the door opened, Chen Ahua hopped over to Su Nanxi and handed her a bamboo basket covered with a cloth.

"These are pastries made by my mother! I brought some for you to try!"

Su Nanxi hesitated for a moment before taking it, "Is your mother feeling better? I heard she wasn't feeling well before, why is she making pastries now? Don't tire herself out!"

Tao's health wasn't as good as most people's, and with her pregnancy, she experienced some symptoms. She had enough to eat and drink along the way, and the journey was a bit bumpy, but otherwise, she was fine and there weren't any major problems. However, after setting up camp here, Tao seemed to have some issues with the change in environment and felt unwell for quite some time, spending several days in bed.

They went to see a doctor and got some medicine, but the effects weren't very good, which made Chen Ahua and Chen Qianshan very anxious!

Later, when Su Nanxi visited Tao, he brought her some things to drink, and she drank them for several days before her condition improved.

With proper care and recovery, there shouldn't be any major problems, so Su Nanxi didn't inquire further.

Now that Chen Ahua has suddenly brought over pastries and said they were made by Tao, she doesn't dare accept them.

How long will it take Tao to make this basket of pastries? It must be exhausting!

If you want to express your gratitude, you can do so later when you feel better!

She was genuinely worried that Tao might accidentally make herself uncomfortable again!

Pregnant women are always a bit of a hassle; no one knows what might happen, especially someone like Tao.

Chen Ahua pushed the basket forward again, "Just accept it! It's not all made by my mother, actually I made most of it! My mother just lent a hand! Really! My mother thought that you helped us so much, and she wanted to express her gratitude. She saw that you really liked pastries, so she decided to make some!"

oh!

I see!

But I still asked uncertainly, "Did you really do most of it?"

Chen Ahua nodded very sincerely, "Absolutely true! Hehe! My mother was involved too!"

Su Nanxi then accepted the invitation and invited Chen Ahua to come in and sit for a while, but Chen Ahua declined, saying that her mother was at home and she was worried about her.

"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I'll empty the basket and take it back for you, so I don't forget again!"

Su Nanxi went in, took out the pastries, and placed them on a plate.

Sometimes she forgets small things, and she often forgets to return other people's things she takes. When the other person needs them and comes to pick them up, she realizes that she has actually kept their things!

After trying it once, she learned her lesson and decided to return it on the spot if she could, instead of delaying it!

Chen Ahua didn't come in; she just waited outside the door because she was afraid of dogs!

Her mother is now quite heavy and needs someone to watch over her at all times, or someone to be by her side; she can't leave her for too long.

Her father went to the city, and there was no one else at home, which is why she was in such a hurry.

Su Nanxi understood that she had also seen Chen Qianshan leave, so she didn't try to stop him. After giving the basket to Chen Ahua, she let Chen Ahua go back.

Chen Ahua followed Su Nanxi's advice and made exquisite cloth dolls, aiming for a high-end market. She could also make them at home, which made things convenient for her.

Being able to stay home and look after my elderly mother, help her out, and earn money at the same time is truly killing two birds with one stone!

Her mother also helps out when she has time, doing what she can.

The family lived a very comfortable and carefree life.

Su Nanxi tasted the pastry and thought, "Hmm, not bad, quite delicious!"

They really put their heart into it; they really went all out!

I reckon this was made specifically for the Mo family!

They have a conscience, are content and grateful, and it's not in vain that she treated them so well.

When Mr. and Mrs. Mo returned and saw it, they also tried a bite and praised it.

It's really delicious!

In the afternoon, Zhou Yuzhu also brought over a bamboo basket.

Su Nanxi looked at it with great interest. Could it be pastries again?

What day is it today that so many people are making pastries?

But no, Zhou Yuzhu lifted a corner of the cloth and showed it to Su Nanxi, "Third Cousin! These soybean sprouts are very tender and especially fresh. I brought some for you. They're delicious; I've already had some. After eating so many wild vegetables, it's good to change things up!"

After saying that, he handed it to Su Nanxi.

It wasn't a pastry, so it seems to be within expectations.

It looked really pretty, so she didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it.

Zhou Yuzhu was originally in this line of work, so taking some wouldn't be a problem, unlike Tao's case.

Besides, this stuff is delicious, why be polite with Zhou Yuzhu!

They would share whatever was good at someone's house; they weren't just ordinary friends.

"Then I'll accept it! Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Some people are afraid to come in, and some don't want to come in, but what needs to be said still needs to be said.

Whether they come in or not is their business.

Zhou Yuzhu was no outsider, and she wasn't afraid of those dogs; they were all quite familiar with each other.

Before, whenever we had food, we would give some to them to get to know them better; it couldn't hurt.

"Sit down for a bit! I'll go clear out the basket for you."

"Alright! Go ahead! Don't be so polite with me!"

After emptying the basket, Su Nanxi took it over and also brought some food with her.

"Since you're not too busy, let's sit down, have something to eat, and chat a bit!"

Zhou Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony with Su Nanxi. She picked up the food and started eating as if they were old friends, and they chatted while eating. She wasn't really busy, so chatting was fine.

"I heard from your mother that your bean sprouts are selling quite well!"

"Yeah! Things are slowly getting better lately! We've gotten through that initial period, and now people are starting to place orders!"

"That's good! Is there any trouble at home too?"

"Sigh! Don't even mention it! How could we not make a fuss! You know, some people are jealous!"
