After Su Wan left the department store and went to a less crowded place, she picked out Xu Guixiang's clothes and threw the rest into the space.

She was afraid that Xu Guixiang would be upset after buying so many clothes at once, so she planned to bring the clothes over slowly later.

She rode her bicycle to the intersection where Liu Xiaoya parked the ox cart and found Xu Guixiang was already waiting there.

After asking, I found out that they had just arrived.

"Mom, I just went to the department store and thought you didn't have any decent clothes, so I bought you some. Do you like them?"

Su Wan said as she took the clothes out of the bicycle basket and showed them to Xu Guixiang.

"Hey, what kind of clothes are you buying for me? I work in the fields all day long, how can I afford to wear such nice clothes?

This must cost a lot of money, kid. I told you not to spend money on your family, but you just won’t listen.”

Xu Guixiang was mumbling something, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Ask any woman, from an 80-year-old old lady to a little girl, who can resist the temptation of new clothes?

The more Xu Guixiang looked at the jujube-red sweater and black pants, the more she liked them.

But she was still saying, "Don't buy it again in the future. I can't wear such good clothes more than twice a year. It's a waste of money."

Su Wan smiled but said nothing. Could it be that she couldn't see that her mother was only worried about the money?

Su Wan pushed the bicycle, and the mother and daughter talked and laughed all the way towards her residence.

Xu Guixiang hadn't been to the city for more than a year. Everything she saw along the way was new to her and she had a constant smile on her face.

He kept saying, "It's better to live in the city. It's clean and convenient. I can buy whatever I want in just a few steps."

Su Wan smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you stay with me in the city for the rest of your life, and I'll earn money to support you."

Xu Guixiang sighed, "I would like to, but I don't have that kind of luck. Your first sister-in-law is pregnant with the stall at home, and your second sister-in-law will probably be pregnant soon too. And there are three dogs, and I have to worry about them all!"

Su Wan listened silently to Xu Guixiang's worries, but was talking to her silently in her heart.

Mom, from now on, as long as you and your family listen to me, it will be easy for you to live in the provincial capital, let alone the county town.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Su Wan opened the side door of the backyard and let Xu Guixiang go in first.

Xu Guixiang looked at the two-story building in front of her, which also had a yard. She looked at it in disbelief, and then asked Su Wan cautiously.

"Wanwan, the house you rented is so expensive? It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Xu Guixiang felt that for such a large house, the rent must be beyond her imagination.

"Mom, I'll tell you slowly after we get into the house."

Su Wan fastened her bike while talking, and then turned around to close the door. At this moment, Grandma Wang suddenly opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she saw Su Wan, she shouted to her with a big smile on her face: "Xiao Su, you are back. I have already told Wu Gang about that matter. He was reluctant to agree at first, but after I persuaded him, he finally understood.

Look, he has agreed to meet your sister-in-law. It depends on your situation. You decide the date and the meeting place. He can do whatever he wants."

"Okay, Grandma Wang, I understand. My mother is here. I'll take care of her first and then come back to talk to you later."

Xu Guixiang walked inside and looked around the house. She heard their voices and knew who were her daughter's neighbors.

A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Su Wan was alone in the city and would inevitably need help from others in the future. As a mother, she naturally would not neglect him.

She quickly turned back and saw a kind old man with gray hair. She greeted him with a smile.

"Auntie, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

"Oh! Xiao Su's mother, are you here? You must be here to take care of Xiao Su. This child is working really hard. She has never been idle every day with a big belly. Look, she is almost pregnant, but she still refuses to rest.

I tell you, Xiao Su's mother, you have found a good daughter. You can just wait and enjoy the blessing of having a daughter for the rest of your life."

Grandma Wang liked Su Wan from the bottom of her heart and could not help praising her.

Hearing people praising her daughter, Xu Guixiang was particularly happy, "Why should I wait? I have already enjoyed the blessing of my daughter."

"That's great! I can tell at a glance that you are a blessed person. Not only is your daughter good, she is also filial. You can't believe how blessed you are!"

…

After the two of them exchanged polite words for a while, Su Wan invited Grandma Wang into her home, and Grandma Wang suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the fire in your house must be out. I'll go back and get you some coal. It's cold out here, so put out the fire quickly to prevent it from freezing."

Su Wan was not polite to Grandma Wang. Instead, she would find a way to make up for her financial difficulties elsewhere.

After Grandma Wang came over with a burning coal ball, Su Wan quickly lit the stove, and soon the room became warm.

The three of them sat there, roasting themselves by the fire and talking about their daily lives.

"Grandma Wang, I originally thought that my sister-in-law would agree as soon as I said it, but she directly refused."

When Grandma Wang heard this, she became anxious. "What? Your sister-in-law rejected you. What's going on? What conditions does she have?"

Su Wan shook her head. "She was cheated twice by her family before and almost lost her life. She came back to our village and begged my parents-in-law. My parents-in-law took her in again for the sake of their three children."

She was afraid that my parents-in-law wouldn't believe her, so she swore that she would never marry again in her life and lived a good life with them, raising their three children.

I also thought that she was just talking about it, and my parents-in-law never thought of stopping her from looking for another one. They just thought that her vision was not good enough, so they personally screened for her. Only when they nodded in agreement did she get married.

She probably felt that she had made an oath and would be embarrassed to break it, so she refused.

After hearing what Su Wan said, Grandma Wang looked disappointed.

"I thought they would be together. Then Wu Gang would have a home and a wife. It seems I was overthinking it."

Su Wan couldn't bear to see Grandma Wang disappointed, and hurriedly smiled to comfort her, "Grandma Wang, don't be disappointed. In fact, I have another idea in my mind. My sister-in-law is unwilling to give her and Wu Gang a chance, so I will create an opportunity for them, and maybe it will work."
