Old Man Liu did not dwell on it either. He ran to the kitchen, stuffed the clothes and silver into the hands of his son, who was packing vegetables there, and gave him a meaningful look.
Although Qi Jinghe was busy in the kitchen, he had heard everything said in the main room.
He lowered his head and glanced at the clothes and silver, his eyes flickering slightly.
He had no idea what that woman was plotting this time.
He pressed his pale pink lips together, fell silent for a moment, then turned and carried the clothes and silver into his own room.
Whatever her purpose was, if that woman wanted to treat them well, he would accept it.
He would just consider it repayment for what he had owed them these past two years.
The food was soon served. Although it was still gruel, they had stewed a large pot of rabbit meat today, along with vegetable and sliced-meat soup.
After going out to wash her hands and face, Su Qiao, who had been hungry all day, sat down at the table. Just as she was about to eat, she suddenly stopped.
She waved to the little one squatting by the threshold and eating from a small bowl. "Yue'er, come eat. Mother bought you some candy too."
She picked out one packet of candy, then pushed the remaining two packets of pastries in front of the man opposite her. "Oh, right. These pastries are for you two."
Qi Jinghe glanced at them without saying a word.
Old Man Liu cheerfully took them, opened the package, and ate a piece. As he chewed, he said with a smile:
"It's fine. He's just a child. Eating over there is the same."
"Da Qiao, you must be hungry, right? Hurry and eat.
