She didn't learn about these matters of Ma Pingfeng's family until one day when Jiaojiao and Mr. Ma were out shopping together.
At that time, a man suddenly grabbed Mr. Ma and intended to hit him, but after some explanation, they realized it was a case of mistaken identity.
However, the man still insisted that Mr. Ma should give him money. Her young maiden had a kind heart and helped give the man some silver on behalf of Mr. Ma's elder brother.
Mr. Ma said that his elder brother was also once a scholar, but due to extreme poverty at home and their parents being seriously ill, he had no choice but to abandon his studies and work at a restaurant.
Though their lives were tough, it was bearable until his brother became obsessed with gambling. After getting into debt, his brother didn't dare to tell the family and resorted to cheating and swindling in the streets.
