Li Zhenzhen was altering clothes by the bedside when she heard Chen Jiaojiao's words. She paused for a moment, then sighed, "It's better that she's gone. Her illness made her suffer, and she's already having a hard time. It's better for her to leave cleanly."
Chen Jiaojiao said dismissively, "No matter how hard life is, it won't be hard on other people. They're living a comfortable life."
As she spoke, she walked up to her mother. Seeing that the shirt in her mother's hand was a man's shirt, Chen Jiaojiao frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Mom, are you making clothes for that Captain Gao? You haven't really fallen for him, have you? Don't be confused. If you want to remarry, I'll help you look around. There are plenty of good candidates nearby. That Captain Gao is really no good."
Li Zhenzhen continued with her work: "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't need to worry about my affairs. Captain Gao has put in a lot of effort to find your brother recently, and I'm just thanking him."
Chen Jiaojiao sat to the side watching Li Zhenzhen busy herself, constantly replying, "That's his duty, what he should do. The Mo family pays him a salary. Isn't this clothing a bit small? Captain Gao is so tall, I don't think this clothing is very suitable."
Not wanting Chen Jiaojiao to notice anything, Li Zhenzhen put the clothes away and casually replied, "I've never done these things before, so who cares if they're appropriate or not? As long as I'm grateful, that's enough."
Chen Jiaojiao didn't care about this matter. She changed the subject and said, "Master Mo must be very sad and heartbroken lately because he lost his wife. Mom, why don't you go and visit him?"
Li Zhenzhen looked at her daughter speechlessly: "What are you thinking? If I rush over now, it'll be obvious to everyone, and I'll become a laughing stock. Besides, I don't have that intention. Mo Qing isn't so easy to win over; it's a tough nut to crack, so it's best not to touch him."
Chen Jiaojiao naturally knew that she couldn't rush things. She just wanted to sound out her mother's opinion to see if she had the same idea. Now, after hearing her mother's answer, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"You don't know, Xiao Yue just died, and many people in the clan are already thinking about introducing a new person to the patriarch. They're acting so anxiously! I wonder if Patriarch Mo can resist these wild and unrestrained women?"
Li Zhenzhen smiled and said, "If he can't even handle these things, how can he secure his position as the head of the family? You're too narrow-minded. Don't just focus on those matters between men and women."
Hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao became even more frustrated: "Who wants to see these things? It's just that these things have to surround me. That useless Mo Ze has found three women already, young, middle-aged, and old. I feel disgusted just looking at them. Mom, it's been more than two months since my brother's incident. Shouldn't you be concerned about me? I really can't stand that crazy woman anymore!"
Li Zhenzhen checked the time and started packing her things: "I'll discuss it with you when I get back. I have an appointment with Captain Gao. I'll go see him now, give him the thank-you gift, and ask him if there are any new developments in your brother's case."
Chen Jiaojiao looked at the several pieces of clothing that Li Zhenzhen had packed. She casually lifted one up to look at it and asked with some doubt, "Captain Gao can't wear these clothes, can he? Mom, are you really going to see Captain Gao?"
Li Zhenzhen quickly replied, "If you don't believe me, come with me. This is the best I can do to alter these clothes. If they don't fit, I can find someone else to alter them."
Chen Jiaojiao had just returned from outside and naturally didn't want to go out again: "The snow has melted outside, and the roads are difficult to walk on. Mom, please be careful on the road and come back early."
