Upon seeing this, the old lady was instantly stunned!
He hurriedly picked up his granddaughter and stuffed the money bag into his pocket. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking again at his granddaughter in his arms, he asked in surprise.
"Guoguo, how come you have so much money?"
There wasn't much loose silver in the purse, only about three or four taels, but there were also two hundred-tael silver notes stacked inside.
That's over two hundred taels!
Old Mrs. Tian has never seen so much money in her life!
At this moment, I felt somewhat at a loss.
Tian Guoguo was much calmer. She even reached out her little hand to pat her grandma's shoulder, comforting her, "Grandma is happy..."
"In the future, we will earn... even more money!"
As Grandma Tian listened to her granddaughter's words, her eyes welled up with tears. She hugged her granddaughter tightly, excitedly wanting to say something but unable to utter a word!
After a long while...
It was Qian Bao, who was standing nearby, who reminded her, "Auntie, didn't you want to buy new clothes for the eldest son? Let's go quickly!"
Grandma Tian then remembered the important matter.
He hurriedly picked up his granddaughter and followed Qian Bao to the clothing store.
There aren't many ready-made clothing stores in the county town, but fortunately they are all located in central areas with high foot traffic, making it relatively convenient to shop around.
Grandma Tian took her granddaughter to visit each shop.
She asked Tian Guoguo what color clothes she liked.
Tian Guoguo is fine with either, but Grandma seems to like red.
She then pointed to the red dress opposite her and said, "Red...!"
Grandma Tian does indeed like red.
According to a tradition passed down from older generations, wearing red during the Lunar New Year can remove all the bad luck of the previous year and bring peace and joy in the new year.
She wants her granddaughter to be healthy and happy forever!
Hearing that her granddaughter also liked red, she quickly smiled and asked the servant to bring it over for her to try.
It must be said that Tian Guoguo is quite suited to red clothes; they not only make her look even fairer but also give her a very charming and lively appearance.
Like the lucky dolls in New Year paintings, they are instantly pleasing to the eye.
The shopkeeper, who was attending to other customers nearby, couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the baby, "This little one is so cute!"
Grandma Tian was already satisfied with the clothes, and now that she heard her granddaughter being praised, she was even happier!
He immediately asked how much the clothes cost.
The shopkeeper asked her if she had any other pants, shoes, socks, or anything else she wanted to buy, as they had them all in their store, and discounts were available for bulk orders.
Grandma Tian thought that they had to buy them anyway, so she asked the shopkeeper to take them to see.
After that, Tian Guoguo won a pair of red tiger-head shoes, red socks, and a red tiger-head hat!
It was completely red!
It's true, Red Mom opened the door for Red, Red is home!
The children's clothes were not expensive; the shopkeeper calculated that they cost only a little over one tael of silver.
The shopkeeper was about to speak...
A young waiter suddenly ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the shopkeeper's smiling face immediately became more respectful.
He hurriedly spoke again, "Consider these clothes a gift from our shop!"
Grandma Tian was slightly taken aback.
Looking at the young waiter beside him, he was very curious about what he was saying to the shopkeeper.
Is there something wrong with the clothes?
The shopkeeper noticed the old lady's confusion and quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, ma'am, all these clothes are fine!"
Grandma Tian asked, "Then why don't you want money?"
The shopkeeper said, "It's like this: General Cui has been kind to my family, and our Guoguo saved him today, so she has also been kind to my family."
"Consider this garment a thank-you gift!"
Fearing that Old Lady Tian might refuse, he quickly added, "It's not an expensive garment, so please be sure to accept it."
Grandma Tian understood then.
It turns out they benefited from General Cui's influence.
But she didn't like taking advantage of others, especially General Cui, so she quickly took out some money from her pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper.
"General Cui has already thanked us. This money is for buying clothes, so you must accept it!"
"Otherwise, I don't want these clothes!"
The shopkeeper had no choice but to accept it.
But Old Lady Tian gave too much, almost two taels of silver, so he returned one tael to her and asked the servant to bring them an extra pair of children's shoes and a hat.
Grandma Tian didn't want it.
But the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic that she could only thank him and accept the money!
It was nearly noon by then.
The village chief and the others should have finished buying the grain, so the old lady wanted to take her granddaughter to buy some food and went to wait for the villagers.
There's a pastry shop right next door.
The old lady asked her granddaughter if she wanted some pastries, but even though she was asking, her feet were already heading towards the pastry shop!
What child doesn't love sweets?
Tian Guoguo had never actually eaten pastries.
In her past life, she was taken away by the organization at a very young age. Aside from sweets, chocolate, and compressed biscuits, she had never eaten anything other than pastries…
I haven't eaten any other sweets since!
Sugar and chocolate are both used to replenish energy!
Just as her grandmother was about to carry her into the shop, could Tian Guoguo say "no"?
Of course she nodded!
Grandma Tian now has money and is very generous when buying things. She seems to be looking at every kind of pastry her granddaughter is examining…
She then felt that her granddaughter wanted to eat all kinds of things.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered half a portion of each kind!
When they came out, she first gave Guoguo a piece of dragon beard candy to eat, saying, "Your grandfather used to love this kind of pastry the most!"
"They say it's the finest of pastries!"
Tian Guoguo felt a little sad when she heard this.
The main problem was that Grandma's voice got hoarse as she talked!
She felt sorry for her grandmother.
She first offered the dragon beard candy to her grandmother's lips, saying in a childish voice, "Grandma, eat this."
The old lady felt a warm glow in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears again.
But she couldn't cry in front of her granddaughter, so she quickly wiped her eyes, smiled, took a bite, and let her granddaughter eat it.
The grandmother and grandson ate as they walked out.
Qian Bao had already come out to wait for them, and the three of them met up and headed towards the city gate.
They had only taken two steps.
Suddenly someone flew out from in front!
To be precise, it was someone thrown out of the restaurant next to the pastry shop.
The waiter from the restaurant then came out and started cursing, "Useless thing! You can't even clean a toilet without falling into the latrine!"
"You want to eat shit, don't you?"
"If you want to eat shit, then eat it in the latrine. You dare to make the whole yard full of excrement, trying to disgust me on purpose, huh?"
Having said that, he beckoned to the two servants beside him with his fingers!
The two servants immediately understood and came over with wooden sticks to beat the man!
He was indeed smelly and filthy. When Old Lady Tian first saw him, she instinctively took two steps back. Now that she was being beaten, the stench on him was brought out even more!
It smells awful!
The old lady quickly hugged her granddaughter and took a few steps back.
They didn't want to get involved, so they took a detour.
As I walked over, I happened to hear the person who had been beaten screaming and begging for mercy; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Grandma Tian couldn't help but stop and take a look!
Good heavens, isn't that Sun Ergou?
What is he doing here?
Tian Guoguo also saw Sun Ergou, and subconsciously glanced at Qian Bao, who had also stopped. Qian Bao grinned at her with his big teeth and smiled silently.
Grandma Tian successfully caught the two men's subtle movements, and Qian Bao quickly stopped laughing, pretending that he hadn't seen anything and continued walking forward.
Tian Guoguo quickly buried her little head in her grandmother's arms.
She didn't know; she knew nothing.
Seeing their expressions, what else could Old Lady Tian not understand?
