Su Qiao pushed the door open and went in.
Sure enough, the second uncle's family had returned to the east room, and the eldest brother Su Yichen also returned to his room. Only the old lady and her father Su Yaohui were left sitting there, talking to the old man.
"Master, I have something to say to you."
Su Yaohui didn't want to leave: "Is there anything that even Dad can't listen to?"
Su Qiao didn't say anything, but just glanced at Old Man Su.
Old Master Su knew that his eldest granddaughter must have something to discuss with him, and he himself also wanted to find his eldest granddaughter to find out more about the situation.
He glanced at his eldest son and said, "What did I tell you this afternoon? Don't ask if you shouldn't know."
"Then I'll go back to my room and read. Dad, you take good care of me."
Su Yaohui had no choice but to stand up.
"Well, go ahead!"
The old man waved at him, then sent the old woman away, and then motioned for his eldest granddaughter to sit at the table.
When there was no one else in the room, the old man sighed, "Dani, I am so grateful to you this time."
"If it weren't for you, I would have been completely killed in that mine."
Su Qiao smiled faintly: "This is what I should do, Grandpa, don't take it to heart."
Grandpa Su looked carefully at this granddaughter whom he had never looked at carefully before, and suddenly realized that this granddaughter who usually didn't like to tidy up had grown up without him noticing.
She has a beautiful face, lively eyes, and most importantly, she has a kind of elegance that is not common among country girls.
My son told me that she could read and understand the prescriptions written by Doctor Li. Even Doctor Li praised her highly.
He didn't believe it at first, but now he sees that it is really the case.
On weekdays, apart from working in the fields, he spent most of his time in the mine and rarely stayed at home. He only had a general idea about his eldest granddaughter's situation.
He really didn't pay much attention to the details.
Now when I look at it, I feel quite surprised.
"My daughter Dani has grown up and become sensible."
"To be honest, I never thought that you would grow up so well. I was wrong before."
I thought she was just like her mother, narrow-minded and with no future.
I didn't expect that things would become so different at some point.
Su Qiao smiled and said, "You are right, Master. My wish is to have food and clothing without worries even when I am lying down, and to have maids and servants to serve me."
Mr. Su: “…”
Fearing that the old man would be too upset, Su Qiao winked playfully and said, "Of course, I will also take care of my family so that they will not have to worry about food and clothing."
Old Master Su opened his mouth and wanted to speak some profound truth.
But when he thought of what his son had said before, that Doctor Li agreed with his eldest granddaughter's statement, the words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.
"Ahem, this wish... is actually not bad. Isn't the purpose of marrying in our village to have enough food and clothing?"
Thinking of her mother always nagging about her daughter marrying into a wealthy family, the old man said seriously:
"It's just that we have to rely on ourselves to have enough food and clothing. We can't rely on others for everything. What we get this way won't last long."
Su Qiao nodded in agreement: "I understand this. Like my mother said, relying on marrying into a wealthy family to live a good life is not reliable."
"That wealthy family has a large gate, many people, and complicated relationships. It's not a place for someone like me who has never seen the world and has little wisdom to stay.
So I decided to work hard to earn money and live a good life with my family."
Well, we are about to take action, so I’d better mention it first to lay the groundwork.
