That day, after the afternoon break, Ah Qiu ran over again. She surrounded Shen Zhu and chattered non-stop, and even asked her over and over again how she should dress in two days to go see Su Yixuan and his parents.

"Sister-in-law, what should I wear that day?" Do you want to put on some makeup? "

"Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do to make my hair look more stable? Does Uncle and Auntie think I'm too childish to see me? "

Ah Qiu kept asking around these two questions.

Shen Zhu couldn't help but laugh and comfort her, "Don't be so nervous, this is good enough for you. There's no need to intentionally dress up, it's already pretty enough."

"Really? Shall I go dressed like this? "

The Ah Qiu stood in front of Shen Zhu and looked around, wanting her to take a closer look.

Shen Zhu nodded her head again, allowing Ah Qiu to feel more at ease. After sitting beside her, he began to ask about the matters regarding Su Family. For example, what were the personalities of Su Zhiyan and Madame Xu? What do you like to eat? There was the question of what kind of girl he wanted to make into his daughter-in-law.

Shen Zhu's forehead had three black lines. Sigh, she didn't know how to say that.

Seeing Ah Qiu being so passionate, she could not refuse, and could only vaguely answer most of the questions.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

One day ago, Shen Zhu prepared a medicinal food for Ming Yuchen before he left the villa, and specifically went to Hundred Fragrance House. After instructing Manager Song to leave a room for her the next day, he brought along clothes that had already dried to the street where he usually bought vegetables.

She intentionally asked the Aunt Liu about it. Xiao Chong's home was in the small alley in front of them, walking all the way until they could see a big locust tree.

Only when she went out to buy vegetables did she remember that. She had Xiao Chong to deliver the wild vegetables to Hundred Fragrance House, and now that she no longer had a stall to set up, she could only helplessly bring the clothes back home.

Coincidentally, she had to come to Hundred Fragrance House to reserve a place for herself today, so she had brought along some clothes along with her.

The alleyway was a little narrow, and the deeper they went, the darker it became. Even if it was daytime, it gave people a creepy feeling. As Shen Zhu walked inside, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around himself and shiver.

As expected, along the way, he saw a huge locust tree. Shen Zhu turned left, revealing a dilapidated yellow mud wall in front of him. Although the broken wooden door was closed, it revealed a large crack, which didn't seem to be any different from closing it.

Shen Zhu reached out to push the door open, and the wooden door creaked as it creaked, releasing a nasty sound. She lifted her foot to the courtyard and saw a small house in front of her.

There was a pair of half-done straw shoes in the courtyard, and a lot of grasses for making straw shoes on the ground. The door in the room was ajar, and the light inside wasn't very good.

"Is anyone home?"

Out of politeness, Shen Zhu did not continue to walk forward.

Not long after, the half-opened door was completely opened. Xiao Chong walked out of the room, the moment he saw Shen Zhu, he was stunned for a moment, and then, with a face full of joy, he shouted for her.

"Big sister Shen."

Xiao Chong said as she ran over to Shen Zhu. Without even asking how she found this place, she asked with a face of pleasant surprise: "Sister Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Zhu took out the clothes in his bag and explained: These are my husband's old clothes, I can't even wear them anymore. I changed them and want to give them to you, but I don't know if it fits?

Xiao Chong looked at the clothes that Shen Zhu took out, his pitch black face was unable to hide his excitement. He carefully received the clothes, and as if he had obtained a treasure, he hugged them tightly, "These clothes are so beautiful, thank you Big Sister Shen."

As Xiao Chong spoke, he looked up and glanced at Shen Zhu, and asked carefully: "Elder sister looks young and beautiful, but I didn't expect that I would already be married off, shouldn't I call you Madam instead?"

When he heard Shen Zhu say that it was her husband's old clothes, he couldn't help but think that it was impolite to call her elder sister.

"It's alright. If you like, you can continue to call me sister."

Shen Zhu did not mind these greetings.

"Thank you big sister, please come in quickly and have a seat."

Xiao Chong welcomed Shen Zhu into the house with a face full of joy.

The room inside was very small. There was only a small broken window, nailed up with several wooden boards. There was not a single piece of furniture in the room, only a table with one leg missing, and even the bowls were broken.

"Elder sister, please drink some tea."

Xiao Chong used the only bowl in his house that only had a small gap left in it to pour Shen Zhu a cup of cold white water.

Shen Zhu smiled gently, and took a sip from the bowl without showing any disdain.

Although the things inside the house were dilapidated, they were still clean, especially the bowl that Xiao Chong had passed to her. It was possible that she had specially washed it many times, other than the hole, it still looked brand-new.

"I remember you saying that you have a grandmother at home. There are also a few pieces of my old clothes in this bag, but I'm not sure if I can change it a bit."

Shen Zhu completely untied the bundle and took out all of the clothes inside.

"I can wear it. Grandma is very thin, even thinner than elder sister."

Xiao Chong nodded his head with certainty, looked at the clothes in the bag, and smiled.

"Xiao Chong, are you a guest at home?

An old voice suddenly came from inside, followed by the thump thump of a crutch on the ground.

"Grandmother." After Xiao Chong heard this, he immediately rushed inside.

Not long later, Xiao Chong came out, supporting an old man. The old man had a head of white hair and a stooped back, he was similarly dressed in patched old clothes, which were very thin, just like Xiao Chong's.

More importantly, the old man's eyes could not be seen.

Shen Zhu was slightly shocked. She remembered that the Aunt Liu had told her before that Xiao Chong's grandmother knew how to weave grass shoes.

"Grandma."

Shen Zhu suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately went forward to help Xiao Chong bring the old man to the table to sit down.

"You are Miss Shen, right? Xiao Chong has told me everything. Our ancestors will never forget your great kindness, so please accept my respect. "

As the old man spoke to kowtow to Shen Zhu, Shen Zhu was startled and immediately stopped.

"Granny, this cannot be tolerated." Shen Zhu supported the man and sat down.

Xiao Chong, quickly kowtow for Miss Shen. If it wasn't for Miss Shen's kind heart, I wouldn't be standing here. The old man said with a trembling voice.

Xiao Chong obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Zhu, but even Shen Zhu could not stop him.

That day, his grandmother was too sick. If not for Shen Zhu's silver tael, this sickness might have taken away his only family in this world.

After staying in the room for a while, when Shen Zhu saw that she could wear the clothes that Xiao Chong and his grandmother had brought, he felt assured. After talking with the two of them for a while, he returned.

After returning, when Shen Zhu thought back to the situation with Xiao Chong and his grandmother today, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. Tonight, she had even specially mentioned this matter to Su Zongwen.

Shen Zhu nodded and agreed, the family ate dinner quickly and rested.
