The woman said warmly, "Although it's a bit far, if you go to their house, they have no reason to kick you out. After all, they're all relatives, and visiting each other will bring you closer. Xiao Su's family manages a lot of things, so they must have a few relatives who can be connected to you. You'll definitely find someone to rely on here."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law." Lu Qingyan said, and was about to give her some money, but she stuffed it back to her: "What are you doing? I only said a few words to you, how can I accept such an expensive thing from you? I can see that it's not easy for you to take care of the child alone, you can't spend this money, can you? Where is your husband?"
Clearly, the woman thought the child Lu Qingyan was holding was her own.
Lu Qingyan: I'm sorry, brother, I've gone from being your sister to your mother again.
"He...he fell seriously ill, and he didn't have any money for treatment, so...he passed away." Lu Qingyan sobbed uncontrollably.
But then, remembering that his clothes weren't exactly tattered, he continued, "And then, right after he left, someone he'd saved came to repay the favor, leaving behind some silver and a few bolts of fine fabric. If it had happened any earlier, he wouldn't have…"
Upon hearing Lu Qingyan's words, the woman burst into tears. She hadn't expected that this young woman had already endured so much hardship, and how difficult it must have been for her to come here alone.
Lu Qingyan took the silver ingot back and gave the woman a piece of broken silver, but the woman declined again.
Lu Qingyan was unwilling to take it back: "I think your family is probably not well-off. I happen to have some money on hand, and you have helped me with some. I can't not repay you. If you don't accept it, I won't feel at ease."
The woman had no choice but to accept the silver, but she still felt a little guilty, so she offered, "Xiao Su's house isn't far from here, let me take you there."
Lu Qingyan thanked her repeatedly.
Xiao Su's family lived not far from the Su family's family, but they managed to avoid the fire.
Lu Qingyan stood at the door, looking at the innocent baby in her arms. She placed her hand on the baby's swaddling clothes and cast an illusion spell, changing the pattern on the swaddling clothes.
"Wait here, I'll go knock on the door," the woman said, then went forward and knocked loudly, shouting, "Aunt Su, a guest has arrived, come and open the door quickly."
The woman exclaimed, sensing something was amiss: "What's going on? Such a big thing happened to the Su family, alarming all the neighbors, but why is the Su family completely silent? With all this noise, how can they sleep?"
However, there were still people inside. After the woman shouted two or three times, someone finally responded from inside: "Hey, wait a minute, coming soon, coming soon."
Lu Qingyan watched as the door opened and a slightly plump old woman walked out. The old woman looked plump and had a kind, smiling face.
"What's going on? I could hear you banging on the door from far away. Our door hasn't done anything to you," the old woman said impatiently.
The woman smiled ingratiatingly: "Aunt Su, did I run into a relative of yours, which is why I brought them here? Aunt Su, you look like you just woke up. Such a big thing happened to the Su family, and you didn't hear a thing?"
"Master, what happened at home?" Aunt Su asked, looking completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what had transpired.
