Chapter 1093: Chapter 1099: Parting Emotions
Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "Let’s go together."
Tan Zhenghong never asked her to treat the Wang Clan a certain way, because he was born to the Wang Clan; it was his obligation to treat the Wang Clan well, not his wife’s. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Previously, Qiao Duo’er had the same opinion, but since the epidemic, the Wang Clan had changed her nature, and she began to treat the Wang Clan as an elder, regardless of anything else since the Wang Clan was Tan Zhenghong’s biological mother.
If it weren’t for the Wang Clan’s desperate efforts to save Tan Zhenghong, she might still be alone.
The Wang Clan’s smile brightened further when she saw that Qiao Duo’er was willing to come to her room.
She liked that Duo’er was getting closer to her because it increasingly showed that Duo’er had forgiven her.
"Please, sit down quickly."
The Wang Clan quickly cleared the chair of its belongings to make space for Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er took the opportunity to sit down, while the Wang Clan not only poured water but also murmured, "I still have some freshly roasted seeds in my room, I’ll bring them over to you."
"Mother, we are going back to our room to sleep soon, let’s not bother," Tan Zhenghong quickly intervened.
To set a good example for the baby, he and Duo’er avoided snacks after dinner, lest their children see and also want to eat.
The Wang Clan nodded, then sat down hugging Tangyuan and said, "Actually, I don’t have much to tell you, just to remind you to be extra careful when you are outside."
Thinking about how Zi Wen still refused to talk to this day made her feel uneasy.
"Don’t worry, both Duo’er and I know martial arts, and we also brought two Permanent Workers with us, so nothing can go wrong," Tan Zhenghong confidently stated.
Especially his wife’s techniques, which were as smooth as flowing clouds and as fast as lightning.
Except for extremely skilled experts, they could handle anyone.
And they were just ordinary merchants who would not attract such formidable individuals.
The Wang Clan took out a money pouch from her bosom, "This is what you normally give me, I have no place to spend it, so take it with you. People say to be wealthy on the road, you must eat and dress well outside, don’t let yourself be shortchanged."
Especially since they were traveling with two children, they had to be meticulous about food, clothing, and accommodations.
And being meticulous came at the cost of silver.
Reaching Mansion City without a few hundred pieces of silver was unlikely; she couldn’t provide that much, so she could only help as much as possible.
"We brought enough silver, so you don’t need to worry about this," Tan Zhenghong said as he stuffed the silver pouch back.
Over the past year, Duo Meifang’s revenue had been considerable, far surpassing the amount of silver his mother had; they truly did not need that bit of money, but for the elderly woman, it represented all her savings.
Tan Zhenghong’s firm stance left the Wang Clan no choice but to put the silver away.
After chatting about family matters for a while, Tangyuan was already struggling to stay awake.
Tan Zhenghong picked up Tangyuan, "Mother, we’re going back to our room to rest now, and you should also sleep early."
Seeing the reluctance in the Wang Clan’s eyes, Qiao Duo’er said, "This is our first time going to Mansion City, and being unfamiliar with the place makes it inconvenient with more people. Next time, we could bring you along."
Now that Tan Zhenghong was the Wang Clan’s only reliance, she could understand the Wang Clan’s feelings.
The Wang Clan touched her nose, "I’m old already, I won’t join in your excitement."
"While I can still walk, I should go out more. When everything is arranged, it won’t be much trouble," Tan Zhenghong said with a smile.
His mother had almost spent her whole life in Big Willow Village, so going out more certainly wouldn’t harm her.
Staying at home too long could lead to overthinking, and excessive thoughts could lead to incomprehensible actions.
