Su Huainan indeed had money, and could remember being sent away in his childhood—how could he not harbor resentment toward his granny and mother?
Upon hearing that they had come knocking, he said they must be looking for his charity.
In the end, it was Jiaojiao who helped speak a few words on their behalf, saying that the family's living conditions were now not bad, and it was really because granny missed her daughter that they came looking.
To appease Su Huainan at the time, she exaggerated, saying that the family had built a two-story house and had always reserved a spot for her.
Only after hearing their words did Su Huainan reluctantly nod and agree to take in Jianye.
He also gave the granny a pair of gold earrings, saying that he would come back for a visit sometime.
