Hearing footsteps, Lü Yazhi looked up and saw that it was her daughter, Wen Qiao. She quickly got up and wiped the water off her hands.
“Xiao Qiao, you walk so quietly, just like a cat. I was just looking for you when you arrived. The old lady from my employer’s family gave me a box of fish maw, saying it was nearing its expiration date and they couldn’t finish it at home, so they gave it to me.”
"I specifically asked what fish maw was. I thought it was Sichuan peppercorns. I even wondered how Sichuan peppercorns could expire so quickly. Turns out it wasn't Sichuan peppercorns I was thinking of. It's fish maw, which is good for women's health and beauty."
Looking at her mother, who was clearly in a much better mood than before, Wen Qiao had actually considered having her mother come with her to the Great Northwest.
But if she really made that decision, her mother would suffer hardship if she went with them to the Northwest.
Her choice to go to the Northwest was out of concern for Shen Jichuan; it was her own choice. Why should her mother have to endure a life of hardship and displacement to the Northwest because of her choice?
Besides, her mother's health was already poor, and she wouldn't be able to withstand going to the Northwest.
When Wen Qiao came to help Lü Yazhi with the property certificate last time, she originally wanted to tell her about her pregnancy, but she was too busy and forgot. Now Wen Qiao is a little glad that she didn't tell her mother.
She still told her mother that she was pregnant and that Shen Jichuan was going to the Northwest. She was sure her mother would be very worried. Even without her saying anything, her mother would choose to go to the Northwest with her so that she could take care of her, the pregnant woman.
Wen Qiao was thinking that she had finally managed to pull her mother out of the swamp, so why should she have to make her mother go to the Northwest again because of Shen Jichuan?
This is not something she can see.
Wen Qiao's complexion was not good, and Lü Yazhi noticed it immediately when she came closer and sat down.
"Xiao Qiao, is something wrong? Tell your mother, did the Shen family bully you?"
The Shen family looked down on Wen Qiao from the very beginning, which was also what Lü Yazhi had always been most worried about.
Now I can see that my daughter looks very upset and unhappy.
Lu Yazhi naturally assumed that her daughter was not doing well.
Wen Qiao forced a smile. "Mom, Shen Jichuan is very good to me, but he's in a bad situation right now, and I'm young and incompetent, so I can't help him at all..."
Wen Qiao briefly told her mother what had happened to Shen Jichuan.
"Now that things have come to this, I think it's time for me to make a choice, Mom. I want to go to the Northwest with Shen Jichuan. I'm really worried about him going alone. But I'm also worried about you here in Beicheng. However, now that I see you're doing well, I can go to the Northwest with peace of mind."
"By the way, Mom, didn't you say last time that the old lady of the Wu family wanted you to join the Wu family? If you think it's too much trouble to go back and forth like this, then agree to the Wu family's offer, so you won't have to keep running back and forth."
What Wen Qiao wanted to say was that neither the Yang family, the old house, nor Shen Haiyang dared to offend the Wu family easily.
If her mother works for the Wu family and is well-liked by the old lady, even if Shen Haiyang is desperate, he won't dare to go against her mother.
These were Wen Qiao's thoughts, and she didn't explain them further to her mother.
Wen Qiao inquired about the Wu family's situation from Shen Jichuan and learned the general details. The old lady of the Wu family was the child bride of the old master of the Wu family. Coming from a poor background, she didn't have high requirements for social status, and her affection for Lü Yazhi was genuine.
I felt that Lü Yazhi, who came from the countryside, possessed a simple, kind, and down-to-earth quality.
Many people are too impetuous, especially those in the city. People as kind as Lü Yazhi, to the point of being naive, are really rare.
Wen Qiao felt that the old lady of the Wu family probably liked her mother because she was simple, honest, capable, and quiet.
