Thanks to the cleaning ladies Wang Ya had asked to come and clean, they were very efficient. That night, Su Weixi's family of three took out the bedding from the space and moved in directly, without having to stay in the inn.

The next morning, Dad Su took the curved plow he had drawn earlier to the blacksmith's shop to have it customized by the blacksmith, while Mom Su woke up Su Weixi, who was lying in bed, and went shopping with her.

After leaving a note for Su's father, the two went out. At the entrance of the alley, they hired a horseman who specialized in picking up and dropping off people in the city and headed to the South City District.

As they walked, they discovered that although Qingzhou City was not as prosperous as the streets in the costume dramas they watched in their previous lives, as a hub city connecting border towns and other cities, it was still quite prosperous.

There were small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, selling cheap gadgets or food. There were all kinds of shops along the street, and Su Ma quickly found the Jinxiu Pavilion she wanted to go to.

The original owner had good embroidery skills and often made some embroidery work to sell to shops in the town. She had heard of Jinxiu Pavilion in the shops in the town. It was a shop with many branches throughout Dasheng, specializing in fabrics and ready-made clothes.

This time, Su Ma came to Jinxiu Pavilion to buy some clothes. Although there was a foot-operated sewing machine at home, it was still tiring for one person to make clothes for the whole family. Since she had money anyway, she might as well buy ready-made ones.

Su Ma took Su Weixi into the store. There were a lot of people there, and the shopkeeper and the employees were busy greeting customers.

When the mother and daughter came in, the shopkeeper and some of the employees glanced at them, but seeing that they were only wearing simple fine cotton clothes, they didn't take them seriously. No one came forward to greet them, and some even revealed a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Su Weixi deeply suspected that if there were not other customers in the store, the shopkeeper would have ordered someone to drive the mother and daughter away.

Su Ma seemed not to notice those looks and looked slowly at the fabrics and ready-made clothes in the store. Jinxiu Pavilion was indeed a famous silk shop and the variety of fabrics was indeed very rich compared to other shops.

The styles of ready-made clothes are also more exquisite than those in other stores. Considering that the store owner is from Beijing, many of the items must have come from Beijing.

But Su Ma is not a person who has never seen the world. She frowns from time to time when she doesn’t see the style she likes.

Just as Su Ma was about to reach out and touch a piece of ready-made clothing on the counter, a female voice interrupted her actions.

"Hey, Manager Li, how come anyone can enter your Jinxiu Pavilion? Aren't you afraid of getting the clothes dirty?" The person who spoke was a woman in her thirties, who was very plump, but because of her small eyes and short nose, her face looked very mean.

"Oh, Mrs. Wu, I'm sorry. It's too busy today and the clerk is too busy, so I left this silk dress on the counter." Shopkeeper Li spoke to Mrs. Wu with a smile on his face.

He turned around and said to Su Weixi and her daughter with a changed face, "You two, the fabrics that are specially used to make clothes for the servants in our store are in the corner over there." As he said that, he pointed to a corner near the stairs.

Su Weixi and her mother now realized what the two meant.

"Hahahaha, Manager Li, I'm afraid the two of them can't even afford to buy cloth to make clothes for the servants. You'd better kick them out quickly. Xiu Yu Pavilion on the next street is the store they should patronize." Mrs. Wu mocked sarcastically, her eyes full of gloating.

Upon hearing this, Su Ma's face darkened. She looked at Shopkeeper Li, who was laughing with a handkerchief covering his mouth, and said, "Today I have seen clearly how Jinxiu Pavilion treats guests. I wonder if your boss knows that his shopkeeper is short-sighted. I will see when you can close the shop."

When Shopkeeper Li heard Su Ma's harsh words, his face changed and he wanted to curse. But after Su Ma finished speaking, she took Su Weixi away. There were still many customers in the store, so it was difficult to catch up with them. He could only stare at the backs of the mother and daughter with vicious eyes.

"Manager Li, Manager Li, are you still doing business? Why, you can't bear to leave those poor customers?" Mrs. Wu, who was selecting fabrics at the side, saw that Manager Li did not come to her to show his courtesy, but instead looked at the mother and daughter leaving and made sarcastic remarks.

Shopkeeper Li also came back to his senses and immediately said with a smile on his face, "Oh, Madam Wu, how could that be possible? I just wanted to see the two of them clearly so that I can't let them come into the store again. Otherwise, it would be bad to disturb someone as precious as you."

"Hmph, it's good that you know it. Why don't you come and serve me?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu immediately raised her head and chest. It was obvious that Manager Li's words pleased her very much.

Shopkeeper Li put away the smile on his face when he saw Madam Wu turn her hand, and thought secretly in his heart: She is just a concubine, and she is not a madam. If it weren't for the prefect, huh.

Su Ma and her daughter were unaware of what had happened behind Jinxiu Pavilion. At this moment, they were looking at the child lying in front of them in silence.

Just now, after the mother and daughter came out of Jinxiu Pavilion, they went to Xiuyu Pavilion on the next street to buy some ready-made clothes. When they were returning home, just as they reached the corner of their street, a child suddenly jumped out and bumped into Su Weixi, and then fainted.

"Mom, are we encountering a scammer?" Su Weixi pointed at the child lying on the ground. The clothes the child was wearing were almost torn into strips, and he looked like a little beggar.

Su Ma squatted down and checked the child. "It seems that the child is hungry, and the child still has a fever."

"Ah? What should we do?"

"It looks like no one is coming to look for him, so take him home first."

The mother and daughter took the little beggar home, and after a simple cleaning, they took out antipyretic medicine from the space and fed it to the child.

To be on the safe side, Su Weixi also gave the child a cup of water mixed with spiritual spring water. After an hour, the little beggar's fever finally subsided.

Su Ma went to sort out the things she bought today, and Su Weixi went to the kitchen to make three simple dishes and a soup.

Su Weixi had just finished cooking when Su's father came back. At the dinner table, the two told Su's father about the little beggar they had picked up today.

Father Su didn't say anything about this. He just said that when the child woke up, he would ask him where his home was and send him back as soon as possible.

However, what Su's father did not expect was that this child became his "son".

The cause was that after dinner, Su's mother felt that the child's clothes were no longer wearable, as they were dirty and torn. She had no other clothes for the child at home, and it would be troublesome to take the child to the street.

I remembered that on the way back I saw a child playing at the door of a house, so I decided to go to that house and ask if I could buy two sets of clothes for their children.

Because Su Ma was polite in her words and the money she gave was enough, the family immediately took out two sets of clothes and sold them to Su Ma.

When Su's mother came back and helped Su's father to dress the child, the child woke up.

The first words he said were to Su Ma: "Mom!"

Su's father and mother, who were changing their child's clothes, were shocked when they heard the voice. They looked at each other and asked: Do you have a wild child outside?

It was Su's mother who came back to her senses first: "Child, I am not your mother."

"No, you are my mother, Mom, please don't leave me." The child said as he threw himself into Su Ma's arms and cried.

The child was crying so hard that Su Weixi could hear it from next door.

When I came over, I saw the little beggar I picked up today. He was wearing pants and had his upper body naked. He was hugging his mother and crying, calling her "Mom" all the time.

Su's mother patted the child's back to comfort him, while Su's father looked on with a confused look on his face, holding clothes in his hands.

After the child stopped crying, Su's mother asked some exploratory questions and found that the child seemed to have lost his memory, probably because of the severe high fever he had before.
