After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

045 Brothers meet

045 Brothers meet

After Sun Sicheng settled Wan Changsheng and the others, he moved into the backyard of Baicaotang in the city that night.

I discussed some matters about the pharmacy with Manager Ge that night.

Da Wu, Xiao Wu and Sun Wen have not returned, which proves that the matter has not been resolved yet.

The matter of Qi Jiao's daughter is imminent.

In the letter, he had already discussed with the second brother that he would not go to Huainan Prefecture. It would take at least three days to travel from Yong'an Prefecture to Huainan Prefecture. The round trip, including the delay there, would take at least ten days, which would be the end of the month. What else would he be busy with?

Manager Ge informed the second brother, who came personally with people and has been living in Qi's house in the city for two days.

At the beginning of the next day at noon, Sun Sicheng asked Jixiang to inform the second brother.

Sun Siyuan was in a state of panic and he didn't know what to do with this cousin Qi.

My daughter's health is worrying. She suffered from severe motion sickness on her way to Yong'an Prefecture the day before yesterday. After a check-up, she found out that she was pregnant again.

For most people, pregnancy is a happy event, but Qi Jiaojiao has a different physical constitution. She suffered a lot when giving birth to a child, and before she had recovered, she suffered again when giving birth to her second child, even though five years had passed.

But in the past five years, because of my daughter's illness, I have been worried. It can be said that my health has not been well taken care of, and it is not suitable for me to get pregnant for the time being.

If we insist on keeping them, it may not only be the children who are at risk, but also the adults and children.

After finding out she was pregnant, Qi Jiaojiao insisted on giving birth to the child. She might not be able to keep the daughter, but she couldn't not give her husband a child of her own, right?

If this continued, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep the man sooner or later, and she did not want to take a concubine.

How can a concubine's child compare to your own?

This gave Sun Siyuan a headache.

He felt somewhat guilty towards his cousin. At this moment, he hated himself for not having good medical skills, otherwise he could have helped more.

When Jixiang arrived, he decided to go see his eldest brother first, explain the situation of the mother and daughter to him, and see what he thought.

Sun Sicheng hadn't seen his second brother for half a year. Not long after the two brothers met, Sun Siyuan couldn't help talking about Qi Jiaojiao and her daughter, and he looked worried.

"Second brother, are you too concerned about your cousin Qi? This is not good. You and she each have their own families. If my sister-in-law knew that you were so enthusiastic, she would feel uncomfortable."

"Brother, what are you talking about? She is our cousin and her daughter is also our patient."

Sun Siyuan was a little furious, thinking that his elder brother had wronged him.

Sun Sicheng sighed: "The problem is that her daughter's disease is difficult to treat, and her own situation is also special. As a doctor, how can I rush to cause trouble?"

"Brother, she is our cousin."

"Second brother, she is not our biological cousin either. Her father is only our mother's cousin, not our biological brother."

Sun Sicheng really didn't want to get involved in this matter. He obviously didn't want to do anything that he was not sure of.

He is different from the second son. The second son doesn't want to manage the family business, so he just quietly becomes a doctor. But he can't do that. He can't push it to his father who is almost fifty years old, right?

That definitely won't work.

The Sun clan members were originally dependent on his family, and Baicaotang was also built by his grandfather with hard work, and it is the result of the efforts of three generations of the Sun family.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Baicao Tang as well as all the Baicao Valleys and Baicao Gardens throughout the Great Zhou will be under his control.

But it is very tiring, and you have to be very careful at every step and not make any mistakes.

These second kids don’t understand.

Sun Siyuan was silent for a while, but finally said, "Brother, I do have some selfish motives. I feel a little guilty towards cousin Qi. Mother had already promised cousin Qi, but it was because I insisted on having my own way. Cousin Qi has had a very hard time these years. Brother, please help her."

"Second brother, you haven't even gotten engaged or married yet, why do you have to burden yourself with this? Don't think like this in the future, I don't like it.

Also, have you and your sister-in-law regretted anything over the years? If not, then what you insisted on was right.

And what does her husband think? This little girl is also his child. Is she here this time?"

"Brother, her husband doesn't seem to know the true condition of her daughter. He just thinks she was born prematurely and is weak. Cousin Qi didn't tell him the details about the provincial examination in October."

Sun Sicheng was a little annoyed. He didn't like this cousin who was weak and timid and liked to cry.

If you are really soft-hearted, you shouldn't take all the blame on yourself. What does your husband do? The child is yours, so why don't you let others know?

"Second brother, if you want me to treat her, please ask someone to call her husband over. I can't treat her without someone around.

Whether it is her or her daughter, today is already the 20th, and there are still ten days until the end of the month. I must go to Jiangnan in early June.

Jiangnan Baicao Valley is an important source of medicinal materials for our Sun family. Now it has run into a lot of troubles. I cannot let the Sun family’s industry fall into decline in the hands of our generation.

To me, Cousin Qi is just a patient of mine, and a disobedient one at that. I can't let her delay many of my own things. You don't have to say that I'm heartless, otherwise I will drag you along to do the work."

Sun Siyuan stood up. His elder brother was too tired. He really didn't have the ability in this area, so his elder brother had to take care of everything alone.

Cousin Qi did something wrong. No matter who it was, what would happen if something happened to her? The Sun family couldn't afford it, and there was no need to bear it.

He was just acting on impulse, not really stupid. As soon as his elder brother said that, he understood clearly. He was treating a patient, especially a very difficult disease, and even the family members didn't agree. What kind of person was he?

What my eldest brother also said is that the wife was obviously angry when she came here this time. She also said before she left that her husband took her to see the doctor, so who are you to her?

It seems that I should let go of the so-called guilt in my heart. As my eldest brother said, there is no need to get married without engagement.

"Brother, I will tell cousin Qi to send someone to find her husband. It would be best if my uncle and cousin Qi Wei can come as well."

"Well, that's it, second brother. I've found an apprentice, a very smart kid. I'll hold a small apprenticeship banquet before the end of the month. The date hasn't been set yet. Grandfather, parents and others are not here, so you'd better attend."

"Oh? Big Brother is looking for an apprentice? Then I will definitely join.

Big brother, it's better to go earlier. I can't stay away from the clinic for a long time."

This eldest brother always has his eyes high. Many children want to be his apprentices, but he doesn't like any of them and just says that he doesn't want to accept any apprentices for the time being.

But isn’t it collected now?

"Okay, go ahead. I'll try to schedule it in these few days. So now we have to choose a date and send out invitations. Even if it's a small party, we have to invite a few people. He is my eldest disciple, and it's still unknown whether he will accept more disciples in the future."

Sun Siyuan walked out with a smile: "Okay, I'll choose a gift carefully, and it must be something your little apprentice will like."

After convincing himself to let go of the guilt in his heart, he began to relax.

"My little apprentice likes silver, so just give him the silver."

"Hahaha, silver is good, I like it too, haha."

Seeing that the second brother finally figured it out, Sun Sicheng was also happy.

Why carry unnecessary guilt? In the long run, the relationship between the couple will be affected. You run around busying yourself for others, and the husband of another person may not be happy.

Why bother?

Since the second brother said to hold the banquet earlier, then let’s hold it earlier. Send out the invitations today and hold the banquet the day after tomorrow.

When cousin Qi's husband comes over, I'm afraid he will have to treat the child.

There are still many things to do in Yong'an Prefecture, and he is really busy.

The second child has him, so he can be willful, but he can't.

Once a business is started, it cannot be stopped easily. After taking over a military business, one cannot relax at all, otherwise there is a possibility of eternal damnation.

It's not that he didn't have regrets, he shouldn't have grown the business so big under his hands, but the contract was for three years, and now that the three years hadn't been up, nothing could go wrong.

As for the future, he will consider it carefully.
