Chapter 505: Paradise
Perhaps because the weather was too hot, there were few people on the street, and the department store's business was naturally not that good. Whenever a customer came, Yu Jie would immediately go up to him and ask what the other person needed, for fear of missing this customer.
Xu Miaomiao was lying on the bed, smiling as she did some accounting. Most of the people who came to the department store were men, or passers-by who were going on a long journey, so it was rare to see women coming in to buy something, or girls coming in to shop around. When a woman came, everyone's attention was attracted to her.
Seeing that she was holding a child in her arms, Xu Miaomiao thought that it would be more convenient for them as women, so she stepped forward and asked her what she needed.
The woman seemed a little embarrassed. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and said embarrassedly, "I was on my way, but the child kept crying. I guess he was hungry. Madam, could you please give me an empty house so I can feed the child?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the well-behaved child in her lady's arms and reached out to touch her cheek.
As a woman, she naturally understood the woman's sadness at the moment. She could express such a need in this era, and she must be unwilling to see the child in her arms suffer so much. Xu Miaomiao nodded and followed the woman upstairs: "Madam, there is not much people in this room, you can only feed the child in here, I will help you watch at the door."
The lady nodded and bowed to Xu Miaomiao: "Thank you, lady. You really helped me a lot."
The woman thanked him and went into the house immediately. Xu Miaomiao also kept her promise and waited outside the house. After about an incense stick of time, no one came out. Xu Miaomiao frowned slightly, knocked on the door, and began to ask: "Madam, what's wrong? What happened? Do you need my help?"
Xu Miaomiao asked softly. Logically speaking, an ordinary child should be full after eating for such a long time, but the woman had not come out yet. Xu Miaomiao became a little worried, thinking that something had happened to the two of them inside. The next moment, the door suddenly opened, and the woman came out holding the child. Unfortunately, the package on her body fell to the ground.
Xu Miaomiao wanted to help her pick it up, but the woman was shocked: "Madam, there are some personal items in here, I'd better pick it up myself."
After the woman finished speaking, she handed the child in her arms to Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao did not think much about it. She held the sleeping child in her heart, coaxed him gently, and touched the child's cheek, but it had already become cold and not as soft as before. Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked and said, "Is he sick? Why is he so cold?"
The woman was startled, and immediately took the child back from Xu Miaomiao's arms, saying, "How could he be sick? I think it's just a common cold, or he fell asleep after eating. Thank you for your concern, and thank you for providing us with this room. I will leave first, as my family is in a hurry to go home."
Xu Miaomiao nodded without thinking much about it. Looking at the woman leaving, she always felt something strange in her heart.
"Mrs. Xu, have you noticed that, for some reason, there are more women in Bai County holding children in the past few days? Could it be that all the babies are born in these few months?" Yu Zhen asked heartlessly. It seemed like an unintentional remark, but Xu Miaomiao secretly kept it in mind and immediately pulled Yu Jie over to speak.
"Yu Jie, please pay attention for me to see if there are more women holding children in Bai County. Also, please find out where they usually go for a walk." Yu Jie was a little surprised by Xu Miaomiao's question, but when he saw Xu Miaomiao nod so solemnly, he immediately agreed.
"Madam Xu, don't worry, I will find out everything you said."
The fact that there are not more women in Bai County for no reason really makes people wonder. Due to the lack of evidence, Xu Miaomiao has not told Song Wushao about this matter. She just went home with Song Weiwei with a heavy heart.
Before Xu Miaomiao entered the door, she heard a scream of fear coming from outside the door. She immediately walked in and saw Madam Zhang opening the door. Two tiger cubs were playing and fighting on the ground. Madam Zhang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she frowned and immediately took two steps forward.
"Xu Miaomiao, you really kept a tiger in your room. I didn't believe it when Liu Juan told me before. How could you keep such a ferocious beast in your home? What if it hits two pregnant women?"
Madam Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao without hiding anything and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao became a demon for a moment. He did not refute Madam Zhang, but waved his hand and asked the servant beside him to help him up. Then he said, "Madam Zhang, you have to understand that you are now in my Song Mansion. This is my home. I can do whatever I want. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to stay here honestly and take good care of the people you want to take care of."
Madam Zhang frowned in dissatisfaction when she heard this. Although she and Xu Miaomiao could no longer get along peacefully after so many things happened before, she was naturally dissatisfied when a junior suddenly confronted her like this. She said in a reproachful tone: "Xu Miaomiao, can you understand that I am your elder? Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"You are good to Liu Niang, and support Liu Niang and Xu Qingshan in doing what a mother-in-law should do. Then you are my elder. But now you have done it again. Is it what you should do? If not, you are not my elder. I keep you here for Mr. Xu's sake, but you should find your place and don't do unnecessary things."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she turned and left. However, Madam Zhang suddenly snorted and watched Xu Miaomiao leave without saying a word. Madam Zhang suddenly realized that it was also a reminder to Xu Miaomiao that it would be very difficult to keep the two tiger cubs at home in Bai County. However, the injuries of the two tiger cubs have not yet healed. If they rashly return to the mountains and forests, their lives may be in danger.
In this case, she really couldn't think of where to put the two tiger cubs. Xu Miaomiao was worried, and suddenly a figure flashed through her mind, a paradise.
Paradise is near Wangjia Village. It is the people of Paradise. She accidentally went in after taking away their goods. The people there are simple and honest. If she raises the tiger cub there, nothing will happen. She can take the cub back when the time comes.
