Chapter 874: Chapter 877: Abandon Darkness for Light
"Auntie, how are our Owner’s people doing?"
Xu Clan asked seemingly casually, as Elder Sun had been in the Embroidery Room all the time, she should know a bit more.
Granny Sun said with a smile, "Duo’er and Ah Hong are doing so well, there’s nothing to say. You must have been scared by Duo’er, but as long as we do what we are supposed to do, she wouldn’t treat us unfairly."
She was initially able to cook in the Embroidery Room because Qiao Duo’er had taken special care of her.
She was very grateful, because without Duo’er’s help, life wouldn’t have been so good for her and her grandson.
Xu Clan continued, "Can you tell me something specific?"
Elder Sun thought for a while before saying, "Well... I can’t really say, but whenever any family has difficulties, they always try their best to help, like Chao Lian, Hu’s Clan and I have all received their kindness. They have no airs about them, nor do they just recognize Silver like other landlords."
The Tan Family valued people more, full of human touch.
No matter how she put it, she just couldn’t sum up all of Tan Family’s good qualities. They were good in every aspect.
Xu Clan nodded, her mind as clear as a mirror.
Everyone being so heartfelt with Duo’er proved she was good, and the reputation of the Xiao Family had always been not so favorable.
In the past, the Xiao Family had hundreds of acres of land and the men had ways to make money, but they always looked for ways to dock work money, never thinking about getting rich together with the villagers.
Most importantly, Qiao Duo’er might have already learned about their plan.
If she still chose to drug her, chances were there wouldn’t be a good outcome.
As Elder Sun served the chicken soup, Xu Clan hurriedly said, "Granny, you rest for a while, let me take it over for you."
Elder Sun was happy to sneak in a bit of laziness, her legs not as nimble as before, causing her pain if she walked too much.
Carrying the chicken soup, but Xu Clan felt heavier the closer she got to the Tan Family.
After reaching an agreement with Zheng Shi, she felt like she was a bad person. Could Qiao Duo’er forgive someone like her?
In the end, Xu Clan braced herself and walked with big steps.
After all, the answer was there; she had to face it sooner rather than later.
Upon arriving at the Tan Family, Almond directly led Xu Clan to the main hall; she wouldn’t say that her Madam had already been waiting for a while.
Xu Clan put the food box on the table, "This is chicken soup specially stewed for you by Granny Sun. Please drink it while it’s hot."
"Thank her for me, and do you have something else to tell me?"
Qiao Duo’er’s lips carried a faint smile, and her eyes revealed no clues.
But it was precisely this calm that made Xu Clan even more certain of her choice.
She was almost sure now that Duo’er knew about her and Zheng Shi’s little schemes.
Kneeling on the ground, Xu Clan said sincerely, "Madam, I... I really got confused for a moment. I just wanted to cure my son’s sickness."
"Stand up and talk; your son’s name is Yuan Wei, right?"
Qiao Duo’er gave Xu Clan a slight helping hand.
After standing up, Xu Clan felt even more uneasy inside, "Yes, his pet name is Shi Dan. I have only this one son for the Yuan Family, and I can’t bear to watch him just pass away. I had no other choice."
Her son was seriously ill, and seeing many doctors did no good.
She had given up hope, but some days ago, she met a Divine Doctor who said he could cure her son’s disease.
Now, the only thing missing was Silver.
She and her husband had few relatives; it was hard enough to borrow Three or Two Silver.
Granny Sun, seeing her in pity, let her help in the Embroidery Room cooking, just four hours a day, for Ten Wen Work Money.
It wasn’t that she found it too little, but it was far from enough compared with the treatment costs.
