Chapter 183 He Isn’t Going to the Border Town

Gu Xiaoxi didn't respond. Just listen to it. It's not a wise choice to choose money over life.

She inquired about the situation in the border town and had a rough idea in her mind, so she changed the topic to the patient's condition.

After talking for a while, she sent Chen out.

Since she knew the patient might wake up at any time, she had to blindfold him to prevent him from seeing her IV bottles.

Given the patient's current condition, he cannot leave the machine for ten days or half a month.

After sending Mr. Chen away, the IV drip was continued.

She had the robot use instruments to check whether the patient was awake to prevent him from hearing words he shouldn't.

The drip was continued and she took a nap beside him.

…

Three days passed in a row, and Chen Qinian's father's condition finally stabilized. She could finally unplug the equipment during the day and go out for a while.

She originally asked Ying San and Ying Shi Si to find out about Zhang's news, but she forgot about it because of the busyness.

Oh, and that damn Mo.

Why……

There are so many troubles!

After breakfast, she asked Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang to take good care of the patient.

Today is the day when Uncle Gu Yuan is going home.

He recovered faster than expected, perhaps due to the blessing of the spiritual spring water, half a month earlier than previously expected.

He started walking two days ago and his face looked very rosy.

After sending Uncle Gu Yuan and his son out the door, Gu Cheng hesitated and looked like he had something to say.

Gu Xiaoxi naturally saw through the other party's thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, "If Brother Gu Cheng wants to continue learning, then come over every morning when we practice, have breakfast here, and chop a load of firewood for our family every day."

She knew that if she asked Brother Gu Cheng to come and learn skills for free, even if Brother Gu Cheng was willing, Uncle Gu Yuan would probably not allow it because he was afraid that she would suffer a loss.

Gu Yuan has also been worried about this matter these days. As a hunter, he can see that Xiaoxi's leg skills are really good. It would be a blessing for their family if they could let their youngest son learn from her.

Hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, he said, "One load of firewood is not enough. Let him join Master Chen's men to build your house tomorrow. More people will make it faster."

"Yes, yes, I will build the house with them." Gu Cheng also felt that one load of firewood a day was too little.

Gu Xiaoxi thought this was a good idea, so she wouldn’t have to come so early every day.

"Okay, that's it! I'll provide three meals a day, it's settled." She agreed.

"Just let him go back and eat." Gu Yuan felt that this was not enough.

"Uncle Yuan, you must listen to me on this matter, otherwise I won't let Brother Gu Cheng learn it." Gu Xiaoxi firmly opposed this operation.

Building a house is not an easy task. It is definitely physical work. You are exhausted every day and have to run back and forth just to eat. Isn’t that torture?

Gu Yuan knew that Xiaoxi felt sorry for Gu Cheng running back and forth, and since she meant so well, he could only agree.

After seeing the father and son off, she came to the tree in the woods. Before she could climb up the tree, Shadow Three and Shadow Four came out from the darkness.

"Miss!" The two men bowed.

Gu Xiaoxi said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, both of you. Something happened unexpectedly these days, and I was taking care of the patients, so I didn't come."

"You're welcome, young lady. We're all fine." Ying San said quickly.

"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go and find a place to talk." Gu Xiaoxi said and walked ahead.

A few people entered the woods and went up the mountain, and found a place where few people went and sat down.

Ying San told Gu Xiaoxi what happened.

It turned out that the reason he didn't come back in time was that when he went to inquire about the news, he was accidentally discovered by the Xu family and was arrested as a thief.

That's why he ran away from Xu's house, disguised himself as a servant, and then sneaked into Xu's house to inquire about the situation, which took him so long.

Later, Ying Si also followed him into the Xu family. The two of them came back only after they had fully understood the situation of the Xu family.

The richest man in the town was called Xu Shichang, who made his fortune by relying on his wife's family. His wife was also a very strong woman, and it was because of this that he did not dare to bring his own son back.

Now that Zhang had nowhere to go, he bribed his second brother and his wife, making people believe that Zhang and her son were his second brother's mistress and illegitimate child.

So, in order to perform the trick well, the second brother and his wife, together with Xu Shichang's mother, made the house a mess.

Finally, Xu Shichang said that the Xu family had few descendants, and used this as an excuse to raise the mother and son in a courtyard of the Xu family.

Now Zhang has everything she wants and lives a good life as a concubine.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with anger. A wicked person like Zhang did not deserve such a good life.

Ying San and Ying Si saw that the girl was unhappy, and Ying San said, "How about we bring them out, beat them up, and throw them into the beggars' pile?"

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head: "This is too easy for them. I want to let Madam Xu know the identities of Zhang and her son. I believe that the woman who can control the richest man will definitely not be that simple!"

"Miss, why don't you leave this matter to us so as not to dirty your hands!" Ying Si said.

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily.

Chen Qinian's father is in this condition now, so it is impossible for her to leave during this period of time.

Ying San and Ying Si bowed and were about to leave, but were called back by Gu Xiaoxi.

"By the way, where has your master been recently?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

Shadow Three and Shadow Four looked at each other but did not answer immediately.

Seeing their hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi casually guessed, "Could he have gone to the border town?"

After a while, the two of them nodded.

"Is the border town going to be in chaos?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.

Ying San thought for a moment and replied, "It's been fine lately. If there's any bad news over there, we'll tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand. You should be careful too." Gu Xiaoxi did not ask any further questions to avoid embarrassing the two of them.

Ying San and Ying Si bowed and left, and Gu Xiaoxi also returned home.

Construction of my second uncle's house had already started a few days ago. When I walked to the woods at the foot of the mountain, I could see workers cutting down trees.

Looking at these busy figures, she was not idle either. She went back to give Chen Qinian's father a simple check-up, handed him over to Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang, and she also went to the construction site to help.

In the afternoon, seeing that his elder brother's condition had really stabilized, Mr. Chen took a few of his men back to deal with matters in the city.

Unexpectedly, not long after I got home, Boss Zeng’s wife came over.

Mrs. Zeng cried and sobbed, and only then did he know that the doctors that Boss Zeng had consulted said that Boss Zeng might be disabled for life and one of his legs could not move.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen asked Mrs. Zeng to go home and bring Boss Zeng with him and send him to Gu Xiaoxi's house.

However, before coming, he made it clear to the couple that he didn't know how much the treatment would cost, but whatever the doctor said was the price, and they must not anger the doctor, lest the doctor refuse to treat them.

Mr. and Mrs. Zeng knew Mr. Chen's condition at the time. The doctor who had the ability to save Mr. Chen must be a very good doctor.

As a result, when they arrived at Gu Xiaoxi's house, they were dumbfounded to see how young Gu Xiaoxi was.

Gu Xiaoxi saw their confusion and said, "The consultation fee is one thousand taels of silver. If you feel it's not suitable, you can seek help from someone else."
