Chapter 19 This pear...is exquisite!
Facing the Su family, the young and beautiful woman restrained her dignity and signaled the nanny to help the man up.
"You don't have to thank me. I was drawn here by your laughter. I overheard some of your conversation with Manager Zhang. Even in this situation, you're still able to remain open-minded and cheerful, rather than cynical and resentful. This is truly commendable." The beautiful woman smiled gently. "Let's just consider this a chance meeting, a coincidence."
After saying that, the beautiful woman frowned slightly, turned her head to the side, covered her face and coughed lightly a few times.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that there were still a few pears on the wooden cart that her granddaughter had thrown out to play with that morning. She immediately turned around to get them and handed them to the nanny, but she said to the beautiful woman, "Madam, these are a few pears we brought from home. I'm grateful for your help. This is all our family has. Please don't despise it. I heard you have a cough. Stew these pears with sugar and drink some water. It will soothe your throat."
The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded to the nanny who was waiting for orders, and the nanny took the pears.
An old but clean square cloth with four pears on it.
Each one is the size of an adult man's fist, light yellow in color, with delicate skin without any blemishes.
If you get close, you can smell the light fruity fragrance of the pear. It feels heavy in your hand, and you can see that the fruit is full of juice.
It's so fresh and juicy, as if it was just picked from the tree.
The nanny's eyes relaxed a little, and she showed satisfaction with the Su family. It was not because she liked these pears, but because she had more recognition of the Su family's way of doing things and thought they were capable of handling things.
"Such fresh and beautiful pears are hard to find even in the capital. You are so thoughtful." The beautiful woman covered her face and coughed a few times.
The wind was strong outside. Seeing this, the nanny hurriedly handed the pear to the maid at the back and stepped forward to gather the cloak for her master. "Madam, the wind is strong outside. Let's go inside first to avoid catching a cold. It's noon now. We should set off soon."
The beautiful woman nodded, said a few words of greeting to the Su family, and then prepared to leave under the escort of the nanny and maids.
At this moment, the little boy who had been held by her hand suddenly broke free from her hand and took out a jade gourd pendant engraved with the word "Fu" from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Su. "This is a return gift. My mother has been coughing for many days. Thank you for the pears, grandma."
Old Lady Su was stunned by this move and hastily refused, "No, no! This is absolutely not allowed!"
She just gave a few pears, and it was the noble man who helped them first, so how could she dare to ask for any return gift now?
Besides, it's a jade pendant! It has such a beautiful water head that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime!
It was so valuable that she didn't even dare to touch it.
Not to mention Old Mrs. Su and the Su family, even the young and beautiful woman was surprised by her son's behavior. Then she pursed her lips and smiled, with relief in her eyes.
Li'er has always loved and respected her. When others treat her well, Li'er is happy, so she responds with generous gifts.
"Auntie, there is a rule in our family that once a gift is given, it cannot be taken back. You should accept it, otherwise I will feel resentful." She said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Su still didn't dare to accept it and knelt down to refuse.
What are their identities? What is the other party's identity?
In short, this gift cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
Seeing this, the little boy pursed his lips and hung the jade pendant on the neck of the little baby in the old woman's arms.
While fiddling with the baby, the boy's fingers accidentally touched the soft flesh of the baby's chin. The touch was soft and smooth, which made him open his eyes wide in surprise.
He raised his eyes and met the little kid's indifferent gaze.
"Mom, it feels so good to touch the baby!" The little boy opened his eyes wide, his little hands eager to move, and after a moment he rubbed the baby's slippery face again.
Rubbed it again.
Can't put it down.
In his joy, the boy with a delicate face had a slight smile on his face, and a red teardrop mole was faintly visible under the left corner of his eye.
The corner of Old Lady Su's mouth twitched, "..."
The Su family's eyebrows twitched slightly, "..."
Tianbao clenched his little paws, tightening and loosening them, loosening and tightening them again.
I can bear it!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party helped her family, she would have swung her claw at him.
"Li'er, don't be naughty." The beautiful woman couldn't help laughing. She smiled and pulled the boy away, finally rescuing Tianbao. "This is my son, A-Li. I rarely see him so naughty. I'm sorry for being so rude."
What can old lady Su say?
If anyone else dared to touch her sweet little face like this, she would have put her hands on her hips and started cursing.
She could only be thankful that her granddaughter was still young and the other party was just a little boy, so this probably should not be considered as indecent assault.
Amidst cheerful laughter, the little boy was led away by the beautiful woman. As they walked away, the little boy looked back, as if he was still not satisfied.
Tianbao was wrapped in a blanket, turning his head to look back at the other person indifferently. Even though they were far away, she could still see the tiny red teardrop mole under the left corner of the little boy's eye.
After the beautiful woman left, the Su family quickly packed up and set off again, not wanting to stay in this place any longer.
Although the incident just now ended safely, it also served as a reminder to the Su family.
When going out, especially for criminals like them who are even lower than ordinary people, they need to be more cautious in their words and actions.
This is the way the world is. If you are powerless to resist, you can only accept reality.
"Let's go. We have to be more careful on the next journey. This world is a cruel place." Old man Su took his granddaughter and climbed onto the wooden cart with the three little kids.
His legs and feet are still not very mobile, so in order not to burden his family any more, he can only continue to ride in the wooden cart.
Su Dal pulled the cart, lowered his head and said nothing.
What happened just now gave him a great shock, and he has not yet recovered.
Su Er was helping push the cart. He was more outgoing, and his voice was muffled, revealing his inner resentment. "Thank goodness I have a noble person to help me this time. Damn it! Those dogs who look down on others!"
"That's enough. Talking too much can easily lead to trouble. This is the way the world is. The strong prey on the weak." Old Lady Su sighed and turned her head to look at the post station standing beside the official road. "That lady has a kind heart. She will definitely be rewarded."
At this moment, there is still a dining table by the window in the inn.
The young and beautiful woman sat by the window holding her child, and she could hardly suppress her cough.
"You must have caught a cold after walking out in the wind just now." The accompanying nanny frowned and said with concern, "I know that Madam has good intentions and wants to help that family. It would be the same if I were to do this, but you insisted on going in person. Look at you, you can't stop coughing."
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It's okay, just rest for a while."
Her eyes fell on the pears on the table. She reached out her bare hand and picked one up. The faint fruity fragrance of the pear immediately penetrated her nose, making her salivate.
"Mammy, wash a pear for me to taste."
"Madam wants to eat pears. I'll take them to the kitchen and make some sugar water. They're better when they're hot."
"By the time the pears are cooked, I might have lost my appetite. Let's just eat them like this."
In the end, the nanny couldn't persuade her master, so she had to wash the pears and present them to her.
The beautiful woman took one first, brought it to the corner of her mouth and took a light bite, then her eyes lit up.
The pear skin is thin and juicy, the fruit flavor is just the right amount of sweet, and the flesh is extremely crisp and tender. Both the taste and texture are amazing!
What surprised the beautiful woman the most was that the itchy feeling in her throat that kept coming back and couldn't be suppressed actually disappeared after being moisturized by the cool pear juice.
It made her feel lighter!
"This pear...is exquisite!"
