The herbal medicine shop is a bit far, located three streets away.
Qiao Lian'er found it a bit strange: "Grandma, if there isn't a suitable shop right away, we can wait. There's no need to buy so far away; it takes a lot of time to go back and forth."
When the Chu family left, Mother not only didn't take the three hundred taels, but also stuffed two hundred taels back into their hands. Five hundred taels was more than enough to buy a shop in a good location.
Old Madam Chu knew what the maid was talking about. She originally didn't want to mention that matter, fearing it would upset her daughter, but since she had been asked, she couldn't hide it from her.
So that her daughter and granddaughter wouldn't feel that the money hadn't been used effectively.
She said, "That day, Yunni secretly slipped me two hundred taels more. I had five hundred taels in my hand, which was enough to wait for a shop that was closer to me."
"But we met Rui'er when we were passing through the town."
"Song Ruier?" Qiao Lian'er immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.
When this guy shows up, it's never a good sign.
Old Madam Chu glanced at her face and her heart skipped a beat.
The girl's expression was cold, and there was disgust in her eyes.
Looking at Qiao Yunni, she also frowned, as if she knew someone had caused trouble again and was annoyed.
Old Madam Chu was increasingly alarmed. Had she missed something important?
She's only just reunited with her daughter and granddaughter; she absolutely mustn't do anything wrong.
What if they get angry and never come again? Wouldn't that leave the two elderly people to grow old alone?
In that case, what's the point of her living?
At that moment, Old Madam Chu became very uneasy.
The day had just begun, and Qiao Lian'er didn't want to spoil Old Madam Chu's mood.
She jumped onto the carriage: "Grandma, let's go to the herbal medicine shop first, and we'll talk about it tonight."
Those things still need to be made clear to the Chu family, so that Song Ruier doesn't take advantage of the situation.
Last time, the Qiao family was so focused on family reunions that the Song family didn't show up, so they overlooked the Song family.
It turns out that Song Ruier was playing a game of chess.
When some vicious dogs are not barking or moving, they are either preparing to bite someone or preparing to steal bones.
Madam Chu was in the carriage, her heart pounding with anxiety.
The carriage rumbled forward, and she finally couldn't help but ask, "My dear, did I do something wrong?"
"Mother did nothing wrong; there are just some things we didn't explain clearly."
Qiao Yunni also realized why the Song family hadn't made a move during the days the Chu family was at the Qiao family's residence.
Seeing that Old Madam Chu was restless like a child who had done something wrong, Qiao Yunni held her hand with heartache.
“Mother, it was our oversight. We should have told you when you came to Datian Village last time.”
"But it's not too late now."
Fortunately, Song Ruier only swindled one hundred taels of silver, and no irreparable consequences were caused.
Old Madam Chu breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the fault lay with her, and if so, how could she face her daughter and granddaughter?
