The Road to Rich of A Peasant Girl novel Chapter 7

After Mdm Wu and Mdm Wang left, the chief looked at Mother Xiao with disappointment.

"If Hanzheng doesn't wake up, can't the both of you be stronger?

"You have already parted ways from the Xiao family. If you need to be strong, you must be."

Mother Xiao nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes’"

She also resisted, just that she wasn't a match.

She could only blame herself for being too weak. She had almost failed to protect her daughter.

Chief Xiao looked at her weak and crying appearance and sighed. "I hope that Hanzheng can wake up soon."

Otherwise, this mother and her two younger children may not be able to survive.

Xiao Hanzheng was the most reputable young man in the Xiao's clan, raised personally by his mother. It would be a pity if he didn't wake up.

He would also feel very sad.

Mother Xiao cried, "Yes, if only Zheng'er could wake up soon."

Shi Qingluo didn't quite agree with her. She had always believed that it was better to rely on herself than others.

However, with Mother Xiao's character, it was useless to say anything.

Moreover, she was also trying her best to protect her

daughter just now.

Unfortunately, the gap between their physical strength and ferocity was too great. Mother Xiao was also powerless.

The chief took out a money bag from his pocket. "Here are a few taels of silver that a few clan elders and I have gathered. Quickly use it to treat Hanzheng's illness." Mother Xiao was touched. Previously, she had already borrowed six taels of silver from Chief Xiao's family to treat her son's illness.

Not only did he not urge her to return the money, but he had also gathered some silver with a few elders. Their families weren't very rich either.

Although they believed that the medicine Shi Qingluo had taken was effective, if their son's fever had not subsided, or if his body was weak after waking up, they still had to continue to source for medicine to replenish his body.

Therefore, even though the silver was too hot to hold, Mother Xiao had to take it.

She walked in front of him and knelt down to kowtow. "Thank you, chief and the elders, for your great kindness. When Zheng'er wakes up, we will definitely return them back to you."

If the chief and others hadn't helped her in this period, she didn't know how she could survive with her children.

In the past, the chief and the others had helped her other son, Liangduo. She had always remembered their great kindness.

She took a deep breath and said, "If Zheng'er doesn't wake up, I will still pay you back."

Even though Mother Xiao had a soft personality, she was a responsible person.

Chief Xiao waved his hand. "No rush. We need to save Hanzheng first."

Then, his gaze landed on Shi Qingluo. "Miss Shi, thank you for protecting Mother Xiao and her daughter just now."

They had coincidentally met Shi Qingluo chasing away the people from the Wu family when they arrived just now.

Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome if they had to chase people from the Wu family away,

Shi Qingluo smiled nonchalantly. "You are welcome. I was just helping out when I saw injustice."

Chief Xiao thought for a moment before reminding her, "The Wu family is not only a wealthy family in the county, Lady Wu's biological sister is also married to the Liao Family as a mistress. Even the Liao Family will respect them.

"Miss Shi, be careful in the future."

No matter what, Miss Shi had helped the Xiao family. He did not wish for her to get into trouble because of the Wu family's revenge.

Shi Qingluo realised that the chief and other elders of Xiaxi village were much more humane than those of Shangxi village.

She also took note of his reminder. "Alright, I'll take note."

Chief Xiao then told Mother Xiao that if other members of the Xiao family still wanted to sell their daughter away, she should let Erlang help them out.

After saying that, he left with the village leader and a few others.

Xiao Baili immediately walked over and supported her mother.

Both of them looked at Shi Qingluo with gratitude. "Miss Shi/Sister Shi, thank you so much for today!"

Mother Xiao continued sincerely, "We will definitely find a chance to repay your kindness in the future."

Shi Qingluo shook her head. "You're welcome. We just happened to bump into each other."
