Early the next morning.
Fan Jianguo was also worried about Liu Guizhi and insisted on accompanying Jiang Xiaoxiao to see Liu Guizhi and her child back home.
Bringing Jiang Xiaoxiao was mainly to avoid suspicion, as Liu Guizhi was now a widow.
For a strange man to accompany her back to the village would inevitably lead to gossip.
Fan Jianguo could leave, but Liu Guizhi had to live in the village. If rumors started, wouldn't that be harming her?
It's different with Jiang Xiaoxiao along.
A young girl could negate all the gossip. If anyone questioned it, she would serve as a witness to prove their innocence.
Jiang Yue quietly slipped some money to Jiang Xiaoxiao, suggesting she buy something for Liu Guizhi.
Looking at Liu Guizhi, it was clear she didn't have a penny to her name.
Her mother-in-law had driven her out; how could she have let her take any household money?
A woman with a child had it tough, and on returning, she still had underage siblings to support.
