Luo Mingkuan has two brothers. He is the eldest and has a younger brother, Luo Minghu, who is eighteen years old this year. He has been married for two years and has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
"Boss, how are your father and Qiao Wa? Why did you come back in a carriage?"
Luo Mingkuan’s mother Wang Yumei said.
"Mom, Dad and Qiao'er's fevers have subsided. We have to stay here tonight for observation. Dad has some hidden illness that needs treatment, so it may take some time for him to come back. You have to take good care of yourself."
Luo Mingkuan did not tell anyone about Gao Zhijun. He didn't want his family to take advantage of her. After his father was discharged from the hospital, they would come back here to farm and live a good life.
His family members are easy to get along with. His mother is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others. His younger brother is also easy to talk to. It's just that his sister-in-law has a bit of a petty problem and likes to help her mother's family.
He and his wife turned a blind eye and the help they provided was neither much nor expensive.
If she knew that my wife's cousin opened a clinic and was the county lord, I wonder what she would do.
Qinglong followed the direction pointed by Luo Mingkuan and found where Gao Zhidan lived.
"Hello, is that Gao Zhidan?"
Qinglong asked a young woman.
"That's me. May I ask who you are? I don't know you."
Gao Zhidan looked at Qinglong and asked with a vigilant look.
"Don't worry, Miss Gao. I'm not a bad person. I'm asked by your cousin Gao Zhishan to take you and your husband and child to the provincial capital. I want you to pack some luggage and stay there tonight. I'll take you back tomorrow. Your brother-in-law is also packing his luggage and waiting for us to come over."
Qinglong pointed in the direction of Luo Mingkuan and said.
The young lady said that she couldn't tell her about the matter, and Gao Zhidan's other relatives couldn't be allowed to come over. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
"Dan'er, what's wrong?"
Gao Zhidan’s man Ji Guansen said.
"My husband, he said that cousin Zhishan asked him to pick us up and take us to the capital."
Gao Zhidan repeated to Ji Guansen what Qinglong had just said.
"Cousin, didn't she bring her son and her father-in-law to the capital for medical treatment? Why did she ask us to come over? Is there some conspiracy?"
Ji Guansen said to Gao Zhidan while being vigilant.
"That's what I thought."
Gao Zhidan became more alert knowing that her man thought the same as she did. She looked at Qinglong with a defensive look on her face. As long as he made any move, she would shout for help and the villagers would rush over.
Ji Guansen was from Jijia Village, the only son in his family. He had three older sisters who were all married.
His parents were healthy and he had a grandmother who died of illness on the way to escape famine. That was why he decided to stay in Taizhou because fleeing famine was too hard.
His father was Ji Tianming and his mother was Cai Jiao. He and Gao Zhidan had twins, a girl named Ji Miao and a boy named Ji Jun.
"Sister, brother-in-law, haven't you packed your clothes yet? We are going to stay in the capital tonight."
Luo Mingkuan was carrying luggage containing spare clothes and holding his two-year-old daughter.
"Brother-in-law, he was really called by my sister. Didn't you and my sister take my nephew and uncle to the city to see a doctor? Why do you want us to go to the city as well?"
Gao Zhidan felt relieved when she saw Luo Mingkuan and asked in confusion.
“That’s because we encountered…”
"That's because your cousin Zhishan wants to see you. It's getting late now, so you need to hurry into the city. The gates will be closed soon."
Qinglong interrupted Luo Mingkuan and said anxiously.
Luo Mingkuan glanced at Qinglong and stopped talking.
I know this is probably what Gao Zhijun meant. She didn't want too many people to know, but she was also afraid that they would take advantage of her.
"Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen. Believe me, I'm taking my daughter with me, right?"
Knowing what Gao Zhidan and Ji Guansen were worried about, he couldn't say it directly and could only comfort them.
Gao Zhidan and Ji Guansen looked at each other and knew that their brother-in-law was an honest man and would not harm anyone. Maybe they were overthinking it.
Gao Zhijun went to pack her clothes and picked up the twins, a boy and a girl.
Ji Guansen went to tell his parents to be careful, and then followed Qinglong and Luo Mingkuan to the carriage.
Many villagers gathered around the carriage, talking about something.
Some children even climbed onto the carriage and sat in the compartment to play. Qinglong took them down and angrily scolded them, saying that the adults in their families were not watching over their children.
The adults who took care of the children didn't dare to say anything and just pulled their children away.
The carriage was beautiful, and the owner must be either rich or noble. If I asked them to pay compensation in silver, I simply couldn't afford it.
Luo Mingkuan carried his daughter into the carriage. Gao Zhidan and Ji Guansen, who were shocked, had no choice but to carry their children into the carriage. Qinglong drove the carriage towards the provincial capital.
"Zhijun, what's going on between you and Mr. Huo?"
Gao Zhishan asked Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun told about the people from Huojia Village she met while fleeing the famine, and also described her experience of escaping from Liangzhou to Taizhou.
She didn't mention that she knew kung fu.
She would soon go to the capital and live there from then on, rarely coming back here. She had few opportunities to meet these cousins, so her secret would not be discovered by them.
After they have established themselves in the capital, grandma's family and grandpa and grandma's family will all move to the capital, and she does not plan to bring the original owner's cousins with her.
If they are worthy of help, help them. If they are not worthy of help, treat them as strangers.
"So that's how it is. You two are destined to be together."
Gao Zhishan said with emotion.
Fate is something that is really predestined.
If it weren't for fleeing famine, if it weren't for grandma's mischief, if they were driven out of Gaoling Village, they wouldn't have encountered bandits, let alone been killed by them. The cousin wouldn't have carried her nephew into the mountains, wouldn't have met Master Huo, and wouldn't have found true love in times of adversity, leading to a beautiful marriage.
Gao Zhishan still felt sad just thinking about her parents and elder brother.
