The real daughter has a good way to support her husband, and the small peasant girl has caused a sen

Yang Qi had no objection, and the three of them went to the backyard together.

Lan Ling was quite happy to see Yang Qi and Tang Ze.

Their happiness lasted only three seconds before Yang Qi and Lan Ling started arguing.

"Miss Lan, you've finally come to Changming County and brought gifts for everyone, but why aren't there any for Tang Ze and me? We've known each other since childhood, aren't you being too stingy?"

Lan Ling was displeased.

"You're all richer than the other, yet you still want a small gift from me? How stingy! Besides, I came all the way here, and you didn't even offer to treat me to a meal, so why should I bring you a gift?"

After saying that, Lan Ling pouted at Yang Qi to express his dissatisfaction.

That playful and cute look made everyone laugh.

Yang Qi was just annoyed by his family's recent pressure to get married, so he took the opportunity to bicker with Lan Ling, and didn't really care about the gift.

While we were chatting and laughing, the food was served on the table and everyone sat together to eat, drink and chat.

Lan Ling also drank some wine, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked a little tipsy.

She held Zhao Wanzhu's hand and complained, "It would be so nice if you were my mother!"

Zhao Wanzhu was puzzled, "Why did Miss Lan say that?"

"Aunt, you don't know, ever since I last returned to Beijing, my parents have been looking for a husband for me. But I don't like what they said, and they still force me to marry me off within the next two years."

"Every time I think of what my sister told me, that you never forced her to get married, I envy her endlessly. Auntie is truly an open-minded and good mother!"

Zhao Wanzhu smiled and comforted.

"Miss Lan, please don't say that. Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Moreover, Miss Lan's family background is exceptional, so marriage is a major issue that should be taken seriously. I wasn't anxious about a simple marriage back then, but it was because my family's financial situation didn't allow it. I had no choice but to agree to this."

She sighed and continued, "If nothing had happened at home and we were a good family, how could we not be anxious about our daughter's marriage? I'm so ashamed!"

Although Lan Ling is a daughter of a wealthy family and has lived a life of luxury since childhood, she is indeed a sensible woman who can distinguish right from wrong.

She understood Su Xiaoxiao's family situation and could understand Zhao Wanzhu's helplessness at the time, so she said no more.

When Yang Qi heard that Lan Ling was in the same situation as him, he inexplicably felt a sense of sympathy and toasted Lan Ling again.

After dinner, Yang Qi was a little drunk, and Tang Ze helped Yang Qi home.

On the way, Tang Ze chatted casually, "You and Lan Ling are both being urged to get married by your families, and you've known each other since childhood, so why don't you two get together!"

Yang Qi looked disgusted.

"I wouldn't dare marry Lan Ling because of all the fuss!"

He said this, but he had different thoughts in his mind.

……

Su's Noodle House.

In the evening, when it was time to close the shop, Zhao Wanzhu and Jiang Lanlan left the noodle shop and headed towards their residence.

The two of them were walking and chatting, and when they entered an alley, several people suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Zhao Wanzhu and Jiang Lanlan were startled and took two steps back.

Changming County has always been peaceful, so when did robbery occur?

Jiang Lanlan pulled Zhao Wanzhu behind her and looked at the person who was trying to intercept them with vigilance.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, a man quickly stepped forward and knocked Jiang Lanlan unconscious with a palm. Zhao Wanzhu was frightened.

"What are you doing? Someone, help! Help!"

As soon as she shouted, she heard the man threaten: "If you dare to make a sound again, watch out for your life!"

In order to save her life, Zhao Wanzhu dared not shout anymore.

"As long as you let us go, we can give you money."

When faced with danger, you can only use yellow and white things to save your life.

"We mean no harm, it's just that my master has something to ask you!"

Zhao Wanzhu's pounding heart finally calmed down a little when she saw that her life was no longer in danger.

But who is the other party?

Do you have anything to say to her?

While I was wondering, I saw someone walking out from the shadows in front of me.

……

That day, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran came back from the shop and saw an old woman with tattered clothes and gray hair fell down.

The other person was about the age of a grandmother, so Su Xiaoxiao felt pity for her and took the initiative to step forward to support her.

Xiao Ran followed closely behind.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old woman's clothes were patched and the cuffs had been washed so white that the original color of the clothes could not be seen.

"I just fell down accidentally, it's okay!"

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran worked together to help the old woman up.

The old woman lowered her head and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Old man, where do you live? Is there anyone else at home? Please wait here, I will notify your family to pick you up!"

The old woman waved her hand.

"Thank you, young lady. My home is not far ahead. There is no one else at home. I can go back by myself. Young lady and young master can go about their business. Don't worry about me, an old woman!"

She stood up again, steadied herself, looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, and said goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran.

The moment she saw Su Xiaoxiao, her cloudy eyes suddenly shrank and her face was filled with disbelief.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little strange, and Xiao Ran also felt that there was something wrong.

"Old man, why are you looking at my wife like that?"

The old woman came to her senses after hearing this.

"I'm sorry, old lady. I just saw that the young lady looked like an old friend and was distracted for a moment. I hope you can forgive me!"

After saying that, she turned and left, as if she wanted to escape from here quickly.

But for some reason, after the old woman took two steps, her legs seemed to be out of control and she fell down again.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran stepped forward quickly and helped the old woman up again.

"Old man, let us take you back!"

The old woman wanted to refuse, but when she met Su Xiaoxiao's innocent and kind eyes, she was stunned again.

How could there be two people in the world who look so alike!

Maybe it's just a coincidence!

Out of guilt, she did not refuse Su Xiaoxiao, but let Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran support her and go home.

Her home is in the most remote courtyard in an alley.

The yard is very small and has only two rooms, one for living and the other for the kitchen.

Although the yard is small, it is kept very clean.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Old man, where are your children?"

The old man sighed helplessly.

"Many years ago, my family was suddenly attacked by robbers, and all of us except me, an old woman, were killed by them."

"You've been living alone all these years?"

"Yeah, I always go to wealthy families to find some work when I have nothing to do, but I haven't been feeling well lately and haven't worked for many days. I wanted to find some work today, but I fell down again, so I can't go to work at all!"

"Shall I find a doctor for you?"

The old woman refused outright.

"No, I'm just old. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Thank you for your concern, young lady."

She said this, but in her heart she felt that this was all retribution from God.

If she had not done that heartless thing back then, her family probably wouldn't have suffered such a great change, and she wouldn't be alone now.
