"But your senior brother's illness is not something mother can cure." Xie Yunjiao said.
Heart disease still needs to be treated with heart medicine, and she really can't do anything about it.
But Doudou clearly misunderstood Xie Yunjiao's meaning. His eyes were red with sadness, and his nose was sore. He almost burst into tears: "Is Senior Brother suffering from an incurable disease? Senior Brother is so pitiful."
Seeing Doudou so sad, Xie Yunjiao felt so distressed.
Forget it, she went to find Wu Mingde to see if she could help him. Anyway, whether he could succeed or not depended on his luck.
"Mom, let's go with you to visit your senior brother." Xie Yunjiao said.
Doudou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said "OK", but her mood was still low.
Because he felt that his senior brother was about to die.
"Girl, remember to come back and don't forget my lunch." Peng Yingtian shamelessly called out to Xie Yunjiao.
Ever since Xie Yunjiao came to bring him food, he looked much more energetic in just a few days.
He didn't want to go hungry again.
"Don't worry, I'll bring the kids back to study later."
"Really? It's the fifteenth day of the full moon, can't we give the children a break?" Peng Yingtian wanted to be lazy.
"Never tire of learning, never tire of teaching. It's a good thing that children love learning," said Xie Yunjiao.
Peng Yingtian sighed and couldn't help muttering, "I don't know whether I am the teacher or you are the teacher."
Xie Yunjiao didn't care about Peng Yingtian. She had never seen a teacher who liked to be lazy so much.
She went out with her two children.
Peng Yingtian knew where Wu Mingde lived, and they quickly found Wu Mingde's home.
Xie Yunjiao had been here before. She had come here to look for Xiao Shao before!
The address Xiao Shao mentioned was just across an alley from Wu Mingde's home. She bought some snacks and meat on the street.
When I brought my two children to Wu Mingde's house, I saw Wu Mingde's sister Wu Xiaomei coming out.
When Wu Xiaomei saw Xie Yunjiao and the two children, she was visibly stunned: "Are you here to look for my brother?"
She recognized Doudou and Lian Jin, but she had no impression of Xie Yunjiao.
"Yes, the children said that their senior brother was not feeling well and they were a little worried, so they came with me to visit Master Wu." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.
Wu Xiaomei couldn't help but curl her lips: "Why should he be uncomfortable? He deserves it."
Wu Xiaomei opened the door and let Xie Yunjiao and the others in.
She went into the house and brought Wu Mingde out.
Xie Yunjiao didn't expect that Wu Xiaomei was so strong that she could actually lift Wu Mingde, who was a head taller than her, out directly.
Wu Mingde was visibly stunned when he saw Xie Yunjiao and the two children: "Why are you here?"
Seeing Wu Mingde, Doudou walked over and said, "Brother, you must take good care of yourself. If there is anything you want to eat or do, just tell me."
He had seen in the village before that the families of elderly people would ask the same question before they passed away. He heard that only in this way could the dying person be reincarnated without regrets, otherwise they would become lonely ghosts, which was very pitiful.
Doudou doesn't want such a good person like Wu Mingde to become a wandering ghost.
Wu Mingde was stunned by Doudou's question and was full of confusion.
"Why do you ask?" Wu Mingde asked.
Not only him, even Wu Xiaomei was confused. Why did this kid talk as if her brother was going to die?
But it is true that her brother cannot see Sister Yan Zi, and he cannot sleep or eat, and his life is worse than death.
"Zixu, I know everything about you. In fact, if you like that girl, you should tell her. Maybe she will accept you?" Xie Yunjiao said.
Wu Xiaomei also nodded. In fact, there was only a thin layer of paper between her brother and Sister Yan Zi. As long as they broke through that layer of paper, they could be together and look at each other, but her brother just couldn't muster up the courage.
"It's useless. Her parents said they don't want me to have too much contact with Yan Zi. They don't like me and my family situation, and they are afraid that Yan Zi will suffer if she follows me." Wu Mingde said sadly.
Wu Xiaomei was stunned. Wu Mingde had never told her this before. She thought that Wu Mingde was unwilling to confess his feelings to Sister Yan Zi. Now it seems that she had misunderstood her brother.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I thought you didn't have the courage and scolded you." Wu Xiaomei looked at Wu Mingde guiltily and said.
Wu Mingde shook his head helplessly. "It's my fault, I can't blame anyone else. I thought as long as I studied hard and passed the imperial examinations, I could ask the Shao family for marriage. But I didn't expect the Shao family elders to betroth Yan Zi to someone else so quickly."
Shao family? A flash of white light flashed through Xie Yunjiao's mind, and she quickly grasped it.
"Is the swallow you are talking about Shao Yan?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
Wu Mingde and his sister looked at Xie Yunjiao with almost the same expression, both of them were a little surprised: "It's her, you know her?"
"She worked in my shop for a while and performed quite well, but she didn't come back after the Chinese New Year. I tried to look for her based on the address she left, but couldn't find her," said Xie Yunjiao.
"That's impossible. Sister Yan Zi wouldn't lie. You must have gotten the address wrong. Many people get it wrong when they come here. The alleys are different when you count from the left and the right." Wu Xiaomei said.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned. Could it be that she really made a mistake?
"Then take me to find her. I have to ask her whether she really wants to go back to work."
Xie Yunjiao felt that Shao Yan performed quite well. She was smart and hardworking. If she could continue to stay in Qinyuanfang, it would certainly be good and she would have less worries.
Wu Xiaomei was the most active. When she heard that Xie Yunjiao was going to find Shao Yan, she took Xie Yunjiao to Shao's house.
"Counting from the end of the alley, the sixth house is Sister Yan Zi's home." Wu Xiaomei said.
The Wu family is at the end of the alley and is the most dilapidated.
However, the Shao family was not in a much better situation. The door of their house looked shabby and it seemed that it would fall down with a single gust of wind.
The sixth house from the end of the alley is indeed the location Shao Yan mentioned.
Only then did Xie Yunjiao realize that she might have been in the wrong place before.
Xie Yunjiao knocked on the door, but no one answered.
She looked at Wu Xiaomei in confusion: "Is there no one home?"
But she quickly dismissed the idea because she heard someone talking in the yard but no one came to answer the door.
Wu Xiaomei said helplessly: "Maybe my brother has been knocking on the door lately, and they are annoyed and don't want to open the door at all."
"Then I know what to do."
Xie Yunjiao shouted into the room, "Is this Shao Yan's family? I'm Shao Yan's employer. When I settled my monthly wages before the New Year, I discovered I was underpaid. I'm here today to return the money."
As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, someone came over to help her open the door.
"Is everything you said true?"
A woman who looked to be in her early thirties looked at Xie Yunjiao excitedly.
Wu Xiaomei introduced Xie Yunjiao as Shao Yan's elder sister.
When Shao Yan's elder sister saw Wu Xiaomei, she immediately became alert, thinking that Xie Yunjiao might have teamed up with Wu Xiaomei to deceive people.
