Chapter 169 Miss Nie actually listened to Mumu
"No, it's just that there are always yamen runners coming to search my house."
"Search?" Madam Nie pondered for a moment. "You are fugitives, so it's reasonable for the yamen runners to search your home regularly."
"But are they here to see if we have any food? And we run a small business, so they might come again after they find out."
"I understand," Madam Nie said. "I've heard for a long time that people under them went to the fugitives' homes to plunder their money. It seems this is true. Mumu, don't be afraid. I'll tell my master later."
Li Mumu was not afraid of being searched by the yamen runners, but it was not a good idea to move her belongings around all the time.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"I'm the one who should be saying thank you. Our Yuehua's illness is a deficiency she's had since she was born. I see countless doctors, but none of them could cure her. They just told her not to get scared or excited, saying it would be easy... and then she's gone."
That's what heart disease is like.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about the consequences!"
Li Mumu also felt that Madam Nie was a good person, and they really needed some support in the North.
There's no guarantee that Li Rong's pillow talk will be effective. County Magistrate Dong Zixu is targeting the Gu family, not to mention Xie Xun. If Li Yuan uses his identity to make trouble, he will need someone's help.
"Madam, my sister's illness is not difficult to treat. How could it be incurable?"
"It's not difficult to treat?" Madam Nie looked at Li Mumu in disbelief. "You said it's not difficult to treat."
Li Mumu nodded, "Yes, it must not be difficult, I can do it."
"Are you telling the truth?" The cloud of worry on Madam Nie's face instantly dissipated, replaced by boundless joy. "To be honest, Yuehua is five years old, and I've been treating her for five years. In these five years, no doctor has claimed to be able to cure her. Only you, Mumu, can I trust you?"
Li Mumu nodded, "Of course."
Madam Nie looked at Gu Yuru, then at her maid Chunqiao.
Chunqiao was also very excited, "Madam, this is great, the young lady is saved this time."
The reason why she was said to be saved was that Li Mumu believed that many doctors had said that she would not survive to adulthood due to her illness, which was why Mrs. Nie was so excited.
"Mumu!" Madam Nie took Li Mumu's hand. "No matter how much it costs, no matter what medicine you need, as long as you ask, I will find a way to get it!"
Li Mumu was also moved by her motherly love, "Madam, my sister is weak now and can't take medicine yet. She has to wait until her body recovers."
In fact, her condition is such that she is now on the operating table and I am afraid she will not be able to get off.
That's right, there was something wrong with her heart and Li Mumu needed to perform surgery on her.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Then...how long do we need to raise it?" asked Mrs. Nie.
"At least a month, maybe two months at most. During this time, I still have to be careful not to get too excited. I also have to eat nutritious food. I'm too thin."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Nie had a headache. It was not that the family had no money for food, but her youngest daughter was weak and would put down her food after eating a few bites.
She always had a stern face when she was in charge of her, but she couldn't bear to let her go after seeing her tears. However, the consequence of letting her go was that her daughter became too thin.
"Yuehua, did you hear that? Mumu told you to eat well."
"Hmph, I don't want it. I won't survive anyway." Nie Yuehua said.
Madam Nie smiled bitterly, "Yuehua, my sister said you can live..."
"I don't believe it!"
Mrs. Nie looked embarrassed and didn't know how to continue persuading him.
She really couldn't do anything about her daughter and couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her.
Nie Xingcheng also came to persuade her, but no matter what anyone said, Nie Yuehua would not listen, and if they talked too much, she would get annoyed and start making a fuss.
"Mumu, don't worry. When I get back, I'll definitely try to persuade her. She's in a bad mood right now..."
People who have been ill for a long time are easily irritable, especially a child who is so young, cannot run or jump, and is cared for with excessive care.
Nie Yuehua is not stupid, how could she not feel the meaning behind this difference.
Li Mumu smiled, then leaned over and whispered a few words into Nie Yuehua's ear.
At first, Nie Yuehua was displeased, but after Li Mumu said a few words, a smile appeared on her withered face. "Are you serious?"
Li Mumu nodded, "Of course, I, Li Mumu, always keep my word."
Nie Yuehua bit her lip and looked at Li Mumu carefully. Thinking about her move just now, she felt much better. "Okay, I'll believe you this time. If you lie to me, I will..."
"I'll... tell my dad not to help you."
Li Mumu smiled. After all, she was just a child and she didn't have any bad intentions. The harsh words she said just meant that she was not going to help.
"Okay!" Li Mumu said, and stretched out her little finger, "Pink."
Nie Yuehua took a look and then stretched out her little finger.
Mrs. Nie and Chun Qiao were both very excited. Gu Yuru and Song Qiang didn't know, but they knew that their youngest daughter had become a loner due to her illness and was not even close to her twin brother.
Was he actually persuaded by Li Mumu?
As the tender voice of a child rang out, the more Mrs. Nie looked at Li Mumu, the more she felt that this child was adorable.
Even if she couldn't cure her daughter's illness, she would not treat the child unfairly.
After making the promise, Nie Yuehua returned to her mother's side and looked at Li Mumu.
"What did you talk about?" Mrs. Nie asked curiously.
Even I, as a mother, couldn't persuade her, but Li Mumu, a child who had only met my daughter once, was able to make her obedient.
Nie Yuehua looked at Li Mumu, who smiled and said, "Madam, keep it a secret."
Nie Yuehua chuckled and agreed, "Mom, keep it a secret. Don't ask."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask any more questions. It seems Yuehua likes Mumu as her younger sister?"
Nie Yuehua nodded. Everyone around her treated her as a sickly person, and her cousins were also very cautious with her.
This made her very uncomfortable and she always felt that she would not live long.
"It's okay, not annoying." Nie Yuehua said.
Although she didn't directly answer that she liked him, Mrs. Nie knew very well that this was love. After all, her daughter would just say it directly if she hated someone, regardless of whether that person was present or not.
"Then let Mumu be your sister, okay?"
"Mom, do you want to take her back?" Nie Yuehua asked.
This time it was Madam Nie's turn to be stunned. "I... I would like to, but it seems unlikely."
Li Mumu also pulled her mother's hand. She also had a mother who loved her very much and didn't want to be separated from her.
"That won't work. Mumu is the treasure of our family. Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. But we can't afford to raise this child. Even if we can't afford it, we can't raise her in someone else's home." Song Qiang explained.
Gu Yuru nodded. The reason she didn't say anything was because she knew Mrs. Nie would not do that.
"Of course I understand this. Not to mention you guys, even I fell in love with Mumu after just meeting her once, let alone you relatives?"
"But I have a way!" Mrs. Nie suddenly remembered and said excitedly.
