The reason Widow Li had reminded Su Qiao that Big Treasure's family was either rich or powerful, and that he could let Su Qiao live a good life in the future, was because she was afraid Su Qiao would leave without him.
After all, in a place like this, it was easy for one person to leave, but not so easy to take someone along. The villagers would definitely stop them.
At the very least, Wu Dabao's parents would not let them leave so easily.
Su Qiao was already having a hard time taking Big Treasure, who had intellectual problems, with her. If she took Widow Li along as well...
They probably wouldn't be able to leave at all.
Widow Li sighed inwardly, then turned and swayed away. Soon, she had returned to her usual appearance, looking nothing like the woman with the weathered eyes from moments ago.
Su Qiao watched her retreating figure thoughtfully.
Actually, she really did want to help her, but that matter would have to wait until after she dealt with Chen Ligeng and his wife.
At this critical juncture, she did not want to create any complications.
More than a week had already passed, but there was still no news of Chen Ligeng and his wife. Su Qiao was beginning to lose patience.
"Perhaps it's time to put some pressure on certain people." Otherwise, they might really think she was easy to fool.
Early the next morning, terrifying screams came from Wu Ping'an's house. The neighbors thought something had happened there again, such as Su Qiao chasing him with a knife.
Everyone rushed over with hoes, shovels, and the like before they had even gotten properly dressed. What they saw was He Meili, disheveled and barefoot, running out of the Wu Family in a panic.
