Xiao Yunqi is a scoundrel; if you want to live a good life, you can only rely on yourself.
Farming won't do; it's too tiring.
After digging for half the ground, my whole body ached terribly, and I never want to go a second time.
Before her rebirth, Shen Qingyu was a military doctor, but her parents were self-made business people.
When Shen Qingyu was little, she also helped her parents by serving dishes and doing other chores.
Having witnessed her parents humbling themselves to do business, Shen Qingyu chose to join the army.
Who knew that even in ancient times, one would still have to rely on doing business?
"Huh?" Shen Cuixi was stunned, and turned to look at Xiao Yunqi at the main table. "Brother Xiao, you agreed?"
Shen Qingyu glanced at the triplets playing in the distance after they had eaten their fill, and said calmly, "He's not home all these years, and I've managed to raise these three kids on my own, haven't I? I'll go by myself."
Shen Cuixi murmured, "It wouldn't be good if he didn't agree. After all, he's the man of the house."
Shen Qingyu suddenly realized: This is a feudal society!
Male supremacy.
Shen Qingyu nodded: "I'll talk to him about it."
While the meal was in full swing, a young couple suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, dressed in bright, colorful clothes.
Someone with sharp eyes spotted them and immediately called out, "Qingyu, your sister and brother-in-law are here..."
Shen Qingyu looked up at the sound and was stunned: it really was her younger sister, Shen Qingyao.
Outside the door stood a pretty woman dressed in a peach-colored dress, with a peach-colored silk flower in her hair, a gold bracelet on her wrist, and powder on her face, her eyebrows and eyes drawn, making her very eye-catching.
The young man was wearing a green brocade robe, with slicked-back hair and a powdered face... he looked very greasy.
The crowd fell into an eerie silence, all turning to look at Shen Qingyu.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Qingyu sighed silently, then stood up and went to greet them.
Shen Qingyao laughed: "Sister, you didn't even inform me about such a big event as raising the roof beam of your house. If I hadn't heard about it from the servants in the mansion, I wouldn't have known that you had done such a big thing!"
Hey!
The first thing they say is complain!
The way everyone looked at Shen Qingyu instantly became strange.
Shen Qingyu smiled, then, as if remembering something, readily admitted her mistake: "It was my fault. My husband suddenly decided to build a house, and I've been so busy these past few days that I didn't have time to go to town to inform you..."
"Are you here to help? Or to eat at the housewarming feast? Why don't you eat first, and then stay and help me wash the dishes? And return the tables and chairs to their respective owners?"
Shen Qingyao was instantly speechless: "..."
We employ servants to do all the work in our own household. Who would want to come to your house to do these menial tasks?
Before Shen Qingyao could speak, someone at the banquet immediately chimed in, "How could the young mistress do something like this? She's just here to drink, isn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's face immediately showed a hint of pride, and she reached out to smooth the silk flower at her temple.
Shen Qingyu had already walked up to Shen Qingyao and looked at the paper package in Shen Qingyao's hand: "Are you here for a drink? Is this for me? What good stuff is it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao quickly handed over the paper package in her hand: "This is medicine to regulate your body. My sister has been taking it. I figured she had finished it, so I brought it over for her right away..."
medicine……
Everyone looked on with strange expressions: the eldest sister and brother-in-law were having the roof beam raised for their new house, and the younger sister's congratulatory gift was medicine!
Isn't this just bringing bad luck?
Shen Qingyu chuckled, took the package, opened it, looked at the Chinese medicine powder inside, smelled it, and her expression changed slightly.
"Hehe... Sister, what ailment is this medicine for me to cure?"
Shen Qingyao chuckled dryly, "This is medicine for regulating the spleen and stomach... Sister, have you forgotten? Your spleen and stomach are weak, and you've been taking this medicine. I specially asked a doctor to prescribe it for you! It's quite expensive."
Shen Qingyu nodded: "You've gone to so much trouble. Why grind it into powder? I can't even recognize what kind of medicine it is."
"I was worried it would be too much trouble for you to brew the medicine, so I had someone grind it into powder for you... You can just mix it with water and drink it..."
Not even the dregs of the medicine will be left.
As Shen Qingyao was speaking, she suddenly noticed that Shen Qingyu's acne had all cleared up, leaving only a few acne marks. Her skin was delicate, smooth, and even had a pinkish glow. She was immediately stunned.
"Sister, should we continue taking that medicine powder for the next few days?"
Shen Qingyu laughed, her voice rising slightly: "It's strange, ever since I got busy with the house repairs, I've completely forgotten to take that medicine powder..."
"Who knew that after these past few days, I wasn't so hungry anymore, the boils on my face had all healed, and even my body felt much lighter."
Shen Cuixi nodded repeatedly from behind: "You've lost weight! Your chin has become more prominent these past few days."
Her facial features are now clearer, and she looks much more delicate.
Qi Zhouhua, the greasy brother-in-law who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "Qingyu looks much better now."
Shen Qingyu's gaze swept across Qi Zhouhua's face, and she chuckled lightly: "Brother-in-law, it's better if you call me Big Sister. After all, you've now married my sister."
These words surprised both Shen Qingyao and Qi Zhouhua.
The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became quite interesting.
Everyone recalled old stories.
Back then, Qi Han, the richest man in Hengshui Town, was ambushed and killed by bandits, and Shen Qingyu's father risked his life to save him.
So Qi Han took it upon himself to arrange a marriage between the second young master of the Qi family and the Shen family, with Shen Qingyu as the betrothed.
Shen Qingyu was initially very beautiful, and Qi Zhouhua liked her very much.
But when she was fourteen or fifteen, for some reason, Shen Qingyu suddenly started to shrivele up like dough, not only gaining weight but also breaking out in pimples all over her face, a development that was completely disfiguring.
Within six months, Shen Qingyu fell seriously ill and became bedridden.
