The Shen family members left with faces as dark as liver.
"That little bitch, she's so lucky." Madam Liu gritted her teeth, her face contorted in anger.
The villagers dispersed.
"Hey, Xinghe." Mu Xinghe's uncle came over, but before he could finish speaking, Mu Xinghe slammed the door shut without hesitation.
It wasn't that he held a grudge, but rather that his relatives said some really hurtful things.
When he went to borrow money, they not only suspected that he hadn't even passed the preliminary examination, but also said that his parents were short-lived. He repeatedly begged to repay the money, but they said that his parents deserved to die.
They didn't seem like his uncles or aunts, but rather like his enemies.
And his abilities—it doesn't matter if you doubt his abilities or if you suspect he's lying—but his mother just died, how can he be so humiliated?
"Brother, how can we possibly finish all this food?" Mu Xingyue asked, looking at the food scattered all over the ground.
"Let's pick out the best ones and send them to the Qiao family."
"Okay, sure." Mu Xingyue thought to herself that she would get candy at the Qiao family's house, and happily got busy.
The Qiao family had just returned home when Mu Xinghe and Mu Xingyue arrived, each carrying a basket on their backs.
"What are you doing?" Grandma Qiao asked, seeing that the baskets were full of ingredients.
"Grandma Qiao, this was given to us by the villagers. My brother and I couldn't finish it all, so we brought it to you because we were afraid it would spoil. You have a lot of people in your family." Mu Xinghe said, putting down the basket and taking out the contents.
She glanced again at Qiao Xier, who was busy in the kitchen.
"We're busy getting things sorted out at home right now, so we'll head back first." Then she pulled her younger sister away.
"Hey, wait a minute." Old Mrs. Qiao went into the main room and then chased after Qiao Xingyue, stuffing a handful of sugar cakes into her hands.
"We've just had lunch, so we won't keep you any longer. Please come to our house often."
Madam Feng rummaged through the things: "This child has brought all the best gifts the villagers gave him."
Seeing how quickly Mu Xinghe and the Qiao family had become so familiar with each other, Da Yong was also looking forward to the day when the house was completed, so that he could go and propose marriage.
Qiao Lian'er prepared the carriage to go to the county town. If she wasn't mistaken, those people should have arrived in the county town by now.
"Lian'er, I'm going too." Qiao Dayong had changed into new clothes and new shoes, making him look even more handsome. Qiao Dayong had a resolute appearance and exuded a strong masculine aura.
With Qiao Lian'er's good medicine and the nourishing water of divine talismans every day, he is now almost fully recovered.
"Brother Dayong, I'm going to the county town to see if there's any business to do. Why are you coming with me?"
“I can’t protect you. I’m worried about you going to the county town all by yourself.”
"Oh, I thought you were here to see if Sister Lingyin was on the street."
Da Yong was exposed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
“I have everything, and it’s not just for you, Sister Lingyin.”
As autumn deepens, the afternoon sun no longer feels scorching, but rather warm and comforting, occasionally accompanied by a cool breeze.
Qiao Lian'er, however, was not entirely at ease; occasionally, a tightness would grip her heart.
Even with thorough preparation, I still don't feel entirely at ease.
First, I went to Jishi Medical Hall. They hadn't sold any medicine for six days, but I could take out two boxes of each item.
When Doctor Chen saw Qiao Lian'er, it was as if he had welcomed a Buddha statue. As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, he came out of the clinic.
“Oh, Miss Qiao, your medicine has been a great help to me. Just the day before yesterday, the county magistrate’s son suddenly developed a high fever. His whole body was burning hot, as if he were being roasted by fire. In the middle of the night, he sent someone to Jishi Medical Clinic, and one dose of medicine brought the fever down.”
"If it weren't for this medicine, I don't know if I would still be able to stand here and talk to you properly now."
