Unexpectedly, Huiyun pouted and burst into tears.

Startled, Liu Yingying quickly pulled the girl into her arms to comfort her, but then she heard the little girl sob as she said;

"Godmother, you're so good to me! No one has ever...no one has ever been so kind to me before, and no one has ever bought me new clothes..."

Hearing this, Liu Yingying felt both sorry for her and amused, and could only keep patting her back to comfort her.

"Huiyun, don't cry. From now on, your godmother will cover all your new clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Huiyun cried even louder, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

After the children had all left, Liu Yingying took out a box of floral rouge from her bundle and handed it to Xianglian.

"Oh! You bought some for me too?" Xianglian was a little flattered, but she really liked the color of this rouge...

Liu Yingying: When you came to the countryside with me, you left in a hurry and didn't bring anything. I didn't have the money to buy you a whole set of toiletries, but I could still afford a box of rouge!

Xianglian was deeply moved. "Liu Yingying, I'm already incredibly grateful that you took me in. How could I possibly accept anything from you?"

As she was about to return the rouge, Liu Yingying refused to accept it.

"Alright, why are you even more awkward than Huiyun... Just accept this as a gift!"

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!" Xianglian smiled and carefully put away the box of rouge.

Liu Yingying seemed to have thought of something and continued, "I went to the theater last time. Your boss, Bai, said that young master Tao did go and vandalize the place a few times at first, but after Ye Qingyuan intervened, young master Tao stopped going. She wanted to ask you when you plan to go back?"

"Sister Liu, are you trying to kick us out?" Xianglian asked, looking at her.

Liu Yingying quickly stopped and explained, "No, no, I'm just responsible for relaying the situation in the county to you. As long as your boss Bai agrees, I'd love for you to stay with me for a few more days!"

Indeed, ever since Xianglian came, Liu Yingying has felt much more at ease leaving the village!

Xianglian: "Then I'll stay a few more days." She said it very seriously.

Liu Yingying didn't say anything more.

Just then, Lü Sufeng walked in carrying a few yams.

"Sister-in-law, Sanqiang dug up some yams in the mountains today. I'm bringing some over for you to try."

The excuse of bringing yams was that Liu Yingying had rarely returned to the village lately, and she knew that her sister-in-law always brought back a lot of nice things from the city whenever she came back...

Liu Yingying naturally saw through Lü Sufeng's thoughts, but she was never stingy with those who pledged allegiance to her.

"Sufeng, you've come at the right time! Take these two bolts of cloth back and make clothes for the children!"

When Lü Sufeng saw the floral fabric that Liu Yingying took out, her eyes lit up.

"This...this kind of patterned fabric is very expensive, how could I possibly accept it..."

In that era, fabric dyeing techniques were not very advanced, and the clothes worn by people in the countryside were basically dark blue cotton and linen fabrics.

People who are good at needlework will embroider patterns on clothes, but there are also clothes with patterns that come pre-exist on the fabric.

But it's definitely not something that ordinary people like them can afford!

“While I’ve been away from home, you’ve made time to come and look after the kids. I know how good you are to us, and you deserve it!”

As she spoke, Liu Yingying directly stuffed the two bolts of cloth into Lü Sufeng's hands.

Lu Sufeng pretended to refuse twice, then accepted it with a big smile.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law!"

Having received the benefits, Lü Sufeng sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries with Liu Yingying before mentioning Su Daqiang.

"Sister-in-law, I think I saw Su Daqiang outside the courtyard wall the day before yesterday..."

She didn't know about the past conflict between Su Daqiang and Liu Yingying, but she did know something about Su Daqiang and Ma Qiumei...

Liu Yingying had almost forgotten about Su Daqiang.

It seems that this person disappeared after he made a fool of himself naked in the village last time.

“Su Daqiang was a scoundrel to begin with. It’s normal for him to go out and fool around for a while and then come back now…” Liu Yingying said, her eyes flickering slightly. She then gave Lü Sufeng and Xianglian a few more instructions.

“I won’t be home often from now on, so you all need to be extra careful around this person, especially you!” She looked at Xianglian.

"Me?" Xianglian was startled at first, but immediately understood what she meant;

"Oh, I see, Sister Liu!"

After seeing Lü Sufeng off, Liu Yingying took two sets of clothes for the elderly and children, as well as some food, and went to Grandma Zhang's house.

Although she rarely went home during this period, she always instructed Zhaodi and Xianglian to take good care of the poor grandmother and granddaughter.

"Aunt Liu, you've come!"

As soon as Bao'er saw her, she came over and hugged her leg tightly.

"My darling, be good..."

Liu Yingying bent down and picked up the little one; "Grandma is in the room, right?"

“Yes!” the little guy nodded.

Inside the house, Grandma Zhang had already heard Liu Yingying's voice and was already groping her way out with her cane.

Seeing this, Liu Yingying quickly put Bao'er down and went to help her.

"Please sit down... I'm here to check on your leg injury."

Grandma Zhang hadn't seen Liu Yingying for a while, so she held her hand tightly and asked her all sorts of questions.

"Xiaoying, I heard from Zhaodi that you've been going to the city a lot lately. Is something wrong?"

"If you need any help, you can ask my nephew. He's a nice guy..."

Grandma Zhang had always wanted to bring her nephew Li Gensheng and Liu Yingying together.

But she really couldn't say those things directly...
