Xiaodong had always been a glutton. When he heard that there was good food, he couldn’t even remember the pain in his body.

He had never seen such exquisite pastries, let alone eaten them. And he was not wolfing them down like he usually did. He only took a small bite.

The sweetness in his mouth made him lick his mouth a few more times.

He had never tasted anything so delicious!

“Mother, what’s this? It’s so delicious!”

Xu Fengqiao took the pastry and looked at it carefully, but she could not recognize what it was.

The woman spoke at the right time. “This is mung bean cake. It’s quite simple. If you like it, I’ll make it often and bring it over to you.”

When Su Changsheng heard this, he quickly refused. “How can we do that? Mung beans are high quality ingredients. How can I let you spend that money?”

The woman wanted to continue, but Zhao Yan pulled her sleeve.

The woman looked blank for a moment, then abandoned the idea.

They had just arrived. It was not good to show off too much. They were afraid of attracting attention.

Originally, they had come here to cover their tracks.

At the thought of this, she only smiled gently and looked at Xu Fengqiao and Su Changsheng.

“Brother Su, Sister-in-law Su, it’s fate that we have become neighbors. My child has been rather silent since he was young. I think he and little Su Ling hit it off. If you don’t have time to watch her in the future, you can put her in our house. I can help you take care of her.”

Xu Fengqiao refused repeatedly. “How can that do? That would be too troublesome for you.”

The woman was still smiling, but her smile suddenly turned bitter.

“We’re new here, and no one in this village is willing to talk to us. We’re very grateful that you’re still willing to talk to us. We still have a lot to trouble you with in the future. I’ll help you as much as I can.”

Xu Fengqiao had always been a soft-hearted person. Hearing her words at this moment, she only felt that the other lady was a pitiful person. Her previous resistance to them had mostly decreased.

She stepped forward and took her hand. “That would be too much trouble for all of you. Since we’re neighbors, let me know if you need anything in the future. Although our family is poor, we have many people and plenty of strength!”

The woman was overjoyed and grabbed Zhao Yan to join her in thanking them.

Su Changsheng and Xu Fengqiao looked at Zhao Yan and felt that this child was too pitiful. They could not help but feel for him.

The woman saw that they were looking at him much more gently and could not help but feel relieved. Only then did she remember that she had not introduced herself.

“By the way, my name is Wang Cuizhi. You can call me Cuizhi. Although I don’t know how to do farm work, I’m not bad at cooking, and have no problem with sewing and mending. Sister-in-law Su, if you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me.”

Xu Fengqiao looked at her enthusiastic expression and could not help but feel a little overwhelmed. However, she was too embarrassed to refuse and could only agree.

“I’d have to trouble you then.”

The woman still smiled. “No trouble. I’m glad I could help you.”

Zhao Yan stood at the side and waited patiently. When she was finally done, he tugged at her clothes.

“Let’s go back.”

The woman turned to look at him and her smile immediately faded.

“Okay, okay, okay. Then we’ll go back first.”

Xu Fengqiao agreed and even sent them to the entrance of the courtyard. She watched them walk into the small courtyard next door before walking back.

At this moment, Su Ling was showing off the flowers she had dug up from the mountain to her three brothers. She watered them seriously and muttered something.

“Zhao Yan said that I should water it again tomorrow morning. I’ll remember it.”

Xu Fengqiao heard her words and turned to look at Su Changsheng.

“Changsheng, why do I feel that there’s something wrong with the two people next door? They don’t seem like normal mother and son. Cuizhi seems to be a little afraid of Zhao Yan.”
