Chapter 35 Problems that can be solved with money

The wound on the leg still needed to be changed in Dr. He's clinic. Dr. He looked at the wound and exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Qing glanced sideways, and Hu Xin'er asked expectantly, "Doctor, has a miracle happened? Is my leg going to heal? Tell me quickly, I can handle it!"

"You're dreaming!" Doctor He said leisurely, "I just felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so I wanted to liven it up."

Hu Xiner laughed dryly: "Haha."

Not only did it not liven up the atmosphere, it actually made it more awkward.

If she hadn't been worried about damaging the ancient landscape, she could have dug a Barbie dream castle out of it with her toes right there.

Even after they changed the medicine and returned home, the two were still in a state of mysterious awkwardness whenever they looked at each other.

What made Hu Xiner even more crazy was that Dr. He said that her leg needed to rest for a few days. So how would she go to the toilet during these few days!

When she was at Mrs. Li's house before, Mrs. Li always supported her there.

But she was too embarrassed to discuss this topic with Mu Qing, and the more she thought about it, the hotter her face became.

In order to divert attention, Hu Xin'er coughed lightly: "Um, about Mr. Luo's matter, I didn't mean to lie to you!"

Mu Qing was stunned: "I no longer care about that matter."

"If you don't care, then why are you scaring me?" Hu Xin'er hit him angrily.

I experienced two socially embarrassing moments on the same day and lost all my face. It was all thanks to Mu Qing!

Especially later on, if he hadn't deliberately scared her, that wouldn't have happened at all.

Why didn’t I realize before that this person has such a bad taste!

"What are you thinking about?" Looking at Hu Xiner's rich facial expressions, Mu Qing felt a chill inexplicably on his back.

Hu Xin'er gritted her teeth and said, "It's nothing. I really appreciate your generosity!"

Mu Qing explained, "I really don't care. After all, I'm not completely honest with you."

He was right. The two of them had never been honest with each other and both had their own little secrets.

But this excessive frankness surprised Hu Xiner and made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At night, she tossed and turned in bed.

I remembered the time he rescued me when I drowned in the pond, and the amazement I felt when I first saw his true appearance...all the beautiful scenes from the past appeared before my eyes.

Thinking of Mu Qing who risked his life to taste medicine for her, large patches of red rashes appeared on his body. He saved him at all costs and even used the money to save his life to buy a house, just to give her a "home".

These actions made her feel that Mu Qing cared about her very much, and she even thought many times that he might have feelings for her that went beyond friendship.

But the occasional indifference or brutality this person displays is frightening. Every time you think your gentle facade is about to break, he becomes even gentler, leaving you feeling lost...

This made Hu Xiner feel that the feeling was an illusion, and she couldn't tell which part was Mu Qing's true heart.

Could it be that she was overthinking it, and Mu Qing had only treated her as a benefactor from the beginning to the end?

Unable to sleep, she got up in a daze.

Mrs. Li opened the door and saw Hu Xin'er holding a lantern. She was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"It's nothing, I just can't figure out some things, so I came to you to help me out." Hu Xiner forced a smile.

"Did the young couple have a quarrel?" Mrs. Li closed the door and pulled her into the house.

"We didn't argue," Hu Xin'er said, sitting down casually. "It's just that when he's nice to people, he's incredibly nice, but sometimes he can be frighteningly cold."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Just be content. If he coaxes you all the time, you'll think he's slick and like a seasoned playboy."

"Alas, you don't understand." Hu Xin'er couldn't tell anyone else about the time Mu Qing held a dagger against her. "He can be really scary sometimes."

Sister Li laughed: "Don't underestimate your sister, Sister Li. When I was young, I was very beautiful and my needlework was the best in the surrounding villages. I was even close to being able to serve in the palace because of my good skills!"

"You haven't been a palace maid, have you?" Hu Xiner exclaimed. She never thought that the seemingly ordinary Mrs. Li actually had such a legendary experience.

The candlelight reflected in Sister Li's eyes, and her profile revealed her youthful beauty. "Back then, I had a lover who was a palace maid and had to leave her hometown. So I gave up the opportunity and planned to marry my lover."

Although life with a husband and children is ordinary, it is simple and happy.

"But then there was a severe drought one year, and all our land was sold to the landlord. My lover went out to find a living, but he never came back."

The story was cliché, but Hu Xiner listened attentively, because in ancient times, Mrs. Li's experience was a true portrayal of millions of ordinary people.

The lover's whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps he died in the chaotic world after the drought, or perhaps he changed his mind.

Only Mrs. Li was left alone to build this cloth shop for decades. The bitterness she went through cannot be understood by outsiders.

"Have you ever thought about finding another one?" she asked. Even in modern times, few people are willing to live a lonely life for a lover who has disappeared.

Besides, Mrs. Li was young and beautiful at that time, so there must have been a lot of people pursuing her, right?

Mrs. Li stared at the candlelight in a daze: "I have thought about it, but I understand that now that he is gone, even if I find someone else, we will just be living together. My parents scold me for being too ambitious, but I have enough money to live on. I would rather wait, wait..."

Later, unable to bear the rumors, she moved to Shuangxi Village, went back to see her parents from time to time, and secretly hoped that the man would come back to find her.

"Do you blame that person?" Hu Xiner felt that Mrs. Li must be resentful, otherwise tears would not flash in her eyes.

If Mu Qing left one day and never came back, what would she do?

"I feel resentful, but more of a lament about the unpredictable nature of life."

Hu Xiner didn't expect that Mrs. Li would finally tell her that things in life are unpredictable and cherishing the good times now is the most important thing.

The man went out to make her live a good life. She actually felt that living alone was also good. Even if the man stayed, the couple might have conflicts.

I only regret that when we were in love, I didn't cherish the good times and wasted time quarreling.

Hu Xin'er didn't know what to feel for a moment, so she asked, "Do you ever regret not entering the palace back then?"

"I can't say for sure," Li Sao sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if I had entered the palace back then, maybe I could have achieved something, and wouldn't be stuck in this small village selling cloth."

These words woke Hu Xiner up.

If Mrs. Li was the owner of a national chain of cloth stores, her lover would not have to worry about making a living. Even if he disappeared, she could mobilize her many connections to find him.

Instead of waiting in the small village.

To take a step back, even if her lover changed his mind, she would have the confidence to teach him a lesson, instead of being angry but not daring to speak out like most women in ancient times.

If you have money, what kind of handsome man can't you find?

So she decided to focus on her career first. After all, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, and having money will reduce a lot of worries!
