In the end, Xiao Zheng decided to use the one or two taels of silver to buy some clothes.

When Cui Yunzhu heard this, she thought it was perfect and took her to the boss's house where they had met last time.

Because she had brought a big order to the boss lady last time, she gave Cui Yunzhu a lot of discounts when she saw her this time.

Even though she only bought Xiao Zheng's outfit, she still introduced it in detail with a smile on her face.

It was the first time for Xiao Zheng to go to such a big store to buy clothes. She was initially hesitant when looking at the bright and colorful fabrics in the store.

But looking at the gentle and kind face of the proprietress, she carefully introduced each kind of material to me.

There was no trace of disdain in her eyes.

Little Zheng instantly relaxed a lot and dared to pick it up.

After going out, holding the soft cloth in her arms, she still hasn't recovered from the shock that she actually has such a beautiful new dress!

Looking at his wife's appearance, Chen Ping couldn't help feeling sad. He clenched his fists and swore that he would learn from the third brother and love his wife well.

........

They were familiar with the place and had just seen Zhao Nian in the carriage. They thought they wouldn't have any trouble at Zhao's Grain Store, so Cui Yunzhu and the others chose to buy at Zhao's Grain Store.

After all, the prices in the grain stores in the town are similar, and Zhaoji Grain Store is the largest grain store in the town, so the quality is guaranteed.

Even when buying brown rice, you must choose it carefully and not be careless.

They went in and explained their purpose to the waiter. After paying the silver, the waiter began to ask other employees to carry the food outside. They carried the things to the door of the store, while Chen Ping drove the ox cart over.

When Xiao Zheng paid the money and was about to leave, Cui Yunzhu unexpectedly discovered that Mrs. Zhao was also in the store and had seen her first.

Seeing the couple, they immediately walked out from the backyard with a smile on their faces, followed by the guy from last time.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao arrived, she took her arm affectionately and told the shopkeeper that there was no need to charge her.

Cui Yunzhu refused in a firm tone. She explained her purpose and said seriously.

"Mrs. Zhao, let's be honest. If you don't accept the money, my brother and sister-in-law will feel bad. We are all honest people and don't want to take advantage of this."

Looking at Madam Cui's upright behavior, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she had no intention of demanding repayment for her kindness. Moreover, she was the benefactor who saved her daughter.

Mrs. Zhao's favorable impression of him kept rising.

After all, she was in business, so she said tactfully, "Yes, yes, yes, Madam Cui is right, let's put things one way and one way."

"But you saved Zhenzhen, you can't refuse my thank-you gift, right?"

"I just happened to meet your brother and sister-in-law, so I'll take some with you."

After saying that, he called out to the guys behind him. Before Cui Yunzhu could even finish her words, the guys turned back and carried a few bags of things.

Keep piling up towards the door.

She didn't even know what was inside, but it looked like food, which was a small matter for Mrs. Zhao.

Moreover, if the other party refuses out of gratitude, it would seem hypocritical.

Xiao Zheng saw that the owner of the grain store actually knew her third brother's wife, and they spoke very intimately.

She became more confident about her move to stockpile food.

I still have to follow my third brother and the others. Since they even know such important people, maybe they really have some connections.

Cui Yunzhu smiled slightly, thanked Madam Zhao, and asked about Zhao Ruzhen's situation, "How is Miss Zhao?"

She thought of the innocent and suffering little girl that day, and a trace of heartache ran through her heart.

When Mrs. Zhao heard about Zhao Zhenzhen, she became excited and her bright facial features were all smiling.

"The child is eating and drinking well now. Just like you said, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

"I was thinking of bringing her to your house someday to express my gratitude."

Cui Yunzhu waved her hands quickly, "No, our village is small and we haven't seen much of the world, so how dare we trouble you to come here in person?"

"And if we go, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble."

It was troublesome not only for Mrs. Zhao and the others, but for them as well.

Cui Yunzhu mentioned vaguely that Mrs. Zhao was such a smart person.

How could I not understand?

If she went to express her gratitude, it would be equivalent to telling the whole village that Madam Cui had saved her daughter.

In this case, everyone would wonder how much benefit the couple actually gained.

This is not a repayment of favor, but revenge.

The atmosphere had become so tense. Cui Yunzhu saw that there was no one around and the shop assistants were all busy with their own things and no one was paying attention to this side.

Chen Yan and Xiao Zheng had already moved outside and were watching the guys loading the grain into the truck.

She borrowed a step from Madam Zhao to talk. Cui Yunzhu was very close to Madam Zhao and spoke in an almost whisper.

"Madam is still kind after all, and wanted to spare Zhao Nian's life."

"But the cooks in this mansion can be bribed. You have to be more careful in the future."

It was originally just a kind reminder, but Mrs. Zhao felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard it.

She didn't hear anything about the cook. She was so stiff that she couldn't move just by hearing what Zhao Nian said.

"Except for the people in the government office, no one else would know about this matter. How could it have reached the ears of the young lady?"

"Also, why did Madam Cui say I was kind just now?"

"yamen!"

"Zhao Nian escaped from prison?"

The surprise in Cui Yunzhu's eyes was unmistakable.

The two women stood in the store looking at each other.

Since Zhao Nian had been sent to the yamen, could he be let off so easily for murder and robbery?

Absolutely impossible!

She realized that something was wrong at this moment, and combined with the driver's arrogant attitude just now, she seemed to have thought of something, and her attitude suddenly changed drastically, and she wanted to get the matter over with as soon as possible and leave.

Mrs. Zhao looked like she was unaware of the situation, so the only person who could have done something was Boss Zhao...

Being stabbed by the person next to you... this...

"I was just driving here with my husband, and we met a driver on the road."

She spoke even more quietly, fearing that Boss Zhao might have spies in the store.

"The driver was in a hurry. Who do you think was lying in the carriage?"

Since Miss Cui mentioned the carriage they met on the road and mentioned Zhao Nian, Mrs. Zhao immediately thought it was him!

But she also felt it was impossible, because she saw with her own eyes how the government officials beat him half to death and detained him in prison.

It has been decided that he will be executed soon!

Her husband's plea at first failed, and then he begged for mercy to save the Zhao family's reputation. Only then did the matter not become a big deal and was carried out quietly.

Otherwise, the news would have spread all over the town.

But now, every word of Madam Cui's words was clear and powerful, but it sounded like a buzzing in his ears.

She felt dizzy for a moment, not knowing whether it was fear, anger, or sadness.

Cui Yunzhu quickly supported her, and Mrs. Zhao was anxious to confirm again and again, "Did you really see it clearly?"
