After saying goodbye to Nangong Jin, Xu Miaomiao ran all the way towards home. She didn't dare to stop when she got to the house. Perhaps it was because of the huge vibration, Xu Nianmiao in her arms frowned slightly. She rubbed her eyes, but was still asleep and didn't wake up.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao laughed and ran over immediately. Seeing Gu Yuanniang who had been standing under the tree, she approached her and said, "Sixth Mother, I knew you must be here."
When Gu Yuanniang saw Xu Miaomiao, her eyes almost turned red with tears. Seeing Xu Miaomiao walking towards him step by step, Gu Yuanniang finally felt relieved.
"Look, you've taken good care of Nian Miao, and nothing has gone wrong. I promised you that I would protect her, and I will never break my promise."
As Xu Miaomiao spoke, she handed Xu Nianmiao in her arms to Gu Yuanniang.
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She carefully picked up the child in Xu Miaomiao's arms, patted his back gently, and put him on her face, feeling the warmth of Xu Nianmiao's body. She sighed and said, "Miaomiao, I knew that with you here, nothing would go wrong. But have you solved the problem of the fruit poison?"
"It's solved." Xu Miaomiao nodded.
"That's good."
"Do you know what they use? They wrap the fruit poison in seedling leaves and stuff it into the child's stomach. Then they use emetics to make the child vomit it out."
"What! Since you're using such a method, you really pity those children. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise many children would have died because of this incident."
"That's true. But even though those women did this, they were deceived. They couldn't make ends meet, so they resorted to these methods."
"That's really pitiful. I guess they must have been in dire straits, so they did this. But if those children lost their mother, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to live a stable life."
Xu Miaomiao patted Gu Yuanniang's hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, Nangong Xianggong has already promised me that this matter was deceived by the people of Shouliang Country. Those women will definitely not be implicated. They will just be punished more or less. I'm afraid that all the money earned from these trips will have to be handed over to the public."
"Then how can these women survive in this cannibalistic world?" Gu Yuanniang said as she looked at Xu Miaomiao. She then put Xu Nianmiao in her arms into the cradle beside her and took out a small box. When she opened it, she saw all kinds of gold and silver jewelry inside. Gu Yuanniang pulled out the second layer, and the white silver fell in front of Xu Miaomiao.
"This is what we earned when we were doing business together. At that time, Miaomiao, you asked me to keep the money, saying that it was for my family's coffin. But I thought about it and realized that maybe someone needs the money more than us. If this money can be given to those women, it must be well spent. Otherwise, just give it to those women."
Xu Miaomiao nodded when she heard this, but she immediately closed Gu Yuanniang's small box, looked at him and continued, "Sixth Mother, although you have solved the immediate problem, it still brings worries in the future. I think it would be better to spend this money on what it really should be spent on."
"So what does Miaomiao mean?"
Gu Yuanniang tilted her head when she heard this. She just wanted to do her best to help women like her out of their difficulties, because not everyone can meet a sincere friend like Xu Miaomiao who can lead her out of suffering.
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while, looked at him and said, "Use this money to buy some land and build a village. There will be some homeless old people, women, and children living there. Women who are unable to move can take care of the children, and other women may be able to do some work outside to earn some money to support their families. We only need to provide them with a place to live. When the time comes, we will call on the wealthy people in the South to raise funds, do good deeds and give those people a home. Wouldn't that ensure that they can live without worries for half their lives?"
Gu Yuanniang nodded when she heard this: "This is a really good idea! Nowadays, men are superior to women in the South, and these rich people are not like you and me. If they really want to go out and do business, it will probably be even more difficult. After all, they have a child. But if the child has a place to grow up, I'm sure these women will have nothing to worry about."
Xu Miaomiao heard what Gu Yuanniang said and nodded in response: "In that case, how about we call this village Taohua Village?"
"Taohua Village? Life there is self-sufficient and peaceful. There is no intrigue or conflict of interests. Everyone works hard for a living. It's really great."
After Gu Yuanniang finished speaking, Xu Miaomiao nodded thoughtfully: "Your idea is very good, otherwise, with so many things happening at home, I would have liked to go to Taohua Village with you."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang lowered her head and smiled slightly.
"By the way, Liu Niang, how are you and Mr. Xu doing these days?" Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuanniang and asked this question on her own initiative. Unexpectedly, when Gu Yuanniang heard this, she subconsciously lowered her head, shook her head, and took Xu Miaomiao's hand.
"It doesn't matter. Qingshan and I always quarrel, but we will always make up."
After chatting for a while, Xu Miaomiao chatted with Gu Yuanniang for a few words and then prepared to leave.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xu Qingshan who had been hesitating outside.
"Mr. Qingshan, why don't you come in?"
Xu Miaomiao saw the man and asked.
Xu Qingshan, seeing her come out, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, took a step forward and said, “I see Madam Xu is here, so I think Nian Miao must be safe and sound, so I won’t go in to check.”
After Xu Qingshan said this, he wanted to leave.
Xu Miaomiao, seeing this, immediately stopped Xu Qingshan and blocked him in place. When she saw him, she said, "I am only Nian Miao's godmother, and Liu Niang is just a mother. After all, children need their father to love and educate them. Could it be that Mr. Qingshan doesn't even want to see the little girl just because he has some conflicts with Liu Niang?"
"In fact, this trip was not very smooth. They almost wanted me to stuff the fruit poison into Nian Miao's body. Fortunately, a woman saved me. It's a pity that the woman is no longer alive. In such a dangerous situation, Mr. Xu, are you really not going to go in and take a look?"
"What, there is such a thing."
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan became a little anxious and immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao nodded. Seeing this, Xu Qingshan sighed, "Madam Xu is right. I am the father of the child. It is reasonable for me to go in and take a look. I shouldn't ignore my own child just because of this little conflict with Liu Niang."
