Chapter 43: Doing Everything to Keep Him
At the end of North Street, many porters come and go.
Workers gathered in groups of three or four at the door of the wonton shop, eating wontons while looking at the busy women in the Chinese medicine clinic opposite.
"The girl in the shop opposite is so pretty, her skin is so soft and tender that you can even pinch water out of it."
"I wonder if you have a date? How about we pretend to be sick and try to pick up some girl?"
Several porters with tanned skin stared at the woman opposite them like sticky loaches.
Half of the woman opposite was hidden by the table, and her exquisite upper body made people imagine her entire graceful figure.
I saw her stretching out her hand and wiping the wood ash on the cabinet skillfully.
Finally, he turned and walked out of the shelf.
Several workers at Hun Dun Pu were stunned when they saw the woman's bulging belly.
"It's really unlucky that such a pretty girl has a boyfriend so soon."
"We have a master but no master. Even a doctor can't look down on us..."
The workers talked and walked away in anger, arm in arm.
Shen Jinxiao was wearing a mask, and the chaos in front of him did not move.
His eyes were fixed on the woman opposite him who was leaning over to wipe the dust under the table.
For some reason, the girl with a bigger belly looked more mature and charming in his eyes. Her every move and stillness was like a seductive string being plucked, playing on the tip of his heart, making him feel numb.
Especially when she bent over, Shen Jinxiao's face felt hot and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
How could this girl do such a dangerous thing when she is so pregnant?
Shen Jinxiao took a deep breath, paid the money and walked directly into the Chinese medicine clinic in two or three steps.
He is here today just to pick up his wife and bring her home.
Early in the morning he went to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's Chinese medicine clinic to inquire and asked for the address here.
No matter what, he had to apologize to her on behalf of his two nephews.
After all, she must have suffered a lot from them when he was away.
Shen Jinxiao walked to the side of Meng Shuyue who was still bending over to wipe the bottom of the table, and summoned up the courage to call her in a hoarse voice, "Shu...Shu..."
Meng Shuyue suddenly looked up at him.
Being looked at by the woman's black and white alluring eyes, Shen Jinxiao felt that his breathing was disordered, and he began to stutter when speaking, and he couldn't say the next word no matter what.
"Brother, would you like to see a doctor? You are my first customer, and I won't charge you for the consultation."
Meng Shuyue quickly stood up, threw away the rag in his hand, put on the yellow coat of traditional Chinese medicine on the table, and warmly invited him to come and sit down.
Shen Jinxiao's face turned red. He was treated as a guest by his own wife, so he could only let her lead him to sit opposite the pulse diagnosis table.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shuyue smiled with her eyes curved, took the brush and tapped the ink beside her, looking at him expectantly.
"It's just... it seems like there's something wrong with my heart. Sometimes it keeps beating. It feels like there's something important in my heart, and it makes me feel uncomfortable." Shen Jinxiao covered his chest, which was still beating wildly, and his eyes were wandering, not daring to look at her. "Also, I often... suffer from insomnia and vomit."
Meng Shuyue smiled but nodded without saying anything, writing on the paper with his brush.
"Big brother looks so young, it doesn't look like a heart attack. Are you suffering from lovesickness? But why would someone suffering from lovesickness vomit?"
"Can you take off your mask so I can see the color of your lips?"
Shen Jinxiao's wandering eyes finally settled down after hearing this, and fell directly on the woman's bright red lips. His sweaty hands on his knees kept rubbing his trouser legs, and he stumbled and said, "Then...then I'll take off my mask, okay?"
"Is it inconvenient? It's okay if it's inconvenient. I'll take your pulse."
Meng Shuyue raised her eyes and glanced at the reserved man opposite her. He looked familiar.
"No no no, it's convenient!"
Shen Jinxiao was about to take off his mask, but a little boy of about twelve or thirteen ran in breathlessly and interrupted him.
"Sister, Master and his wife said that your husband will come to see you soon, so you should get ready and put on lipstick and other things!"
Meng Shuyue put down the brush with a bang, touched his temples, and was a little flustered. "Really? How could this impatient man come back as soon as he said he would? He didn't even tell me in the letter last time."
Maoqiu, who came to tip off the person, wiped his sweat and untied a long piece of bacon from his belt, saying with a smile: "Master's wife also said that you have to show some of your unique skills and let people taste your cooking skills, so that your husband won't run away."
"What are you talking about!"
Meng Shuyue glanced at the dazed patient sitting opposite him and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly stood up to take the bacon from Maoqiu's hand and put it aside. He flicked his forehead and urged him to leave quickly. "You can let your mistress rest assured. This time I will definitely do my best to ensure that he will not run away."
Maoqiu shook his head, not understanding what she meant. He muttered to himself, repeating what she said, and ran away quickly.
Meng Shuyue's face was dark. He returned to the table and apologized, "Excuse me, let's continue with the consultation. Give me your hand so I can feel your pulse."
At this time, Shen Jinxiao was already worried by her words "do everything you can to prevent him from running away".
He stretched out his left hand and placed it on the pulse pillow.
The woman's cold, slender fingertips covered him.
Shen Jinxiao watched his calloused palms slowly stiffen, and his breathing almost stopped.
Seeing Meng Shuyue closing her eyes and frowning, he felt his heart almost jump out of his throat.
He suddenly thought of something and felt extremely annoyed.
If she diagnoses him now that he has a constitution that will result in him not having any heirs, won't he be looked down upon when he explains his identity to her later?
Thinking of this, Shen Jinxiao covered the mask tighter with his other hand.
Meng Shuyue let go of his hand and was about to speak when the landlady hurriedly ran in from the back yard.
"Oh no, Miss Meng, the cat you brought has climbed up the locust tree in my yard and is afraid to jump down..."
"You mean Huahua climbed up the tree?"
Meng Shuyue anxiously jumped up from the chair and ran to the yard behind the house.
Shen Jinxiao saw that something was wrong and hurriedly followed.
There is a big locust tree in the yard behind the Chinese medicine clinic. At one end of the tree fork stands a yellow and white kitten with its pointed little face drooping and meowing. From time to time, it looks down at the well below, as if it thinks its own reflection in the well is a kitten greeting it.
The landlady was still muttering anxiously, "There's a well down there. I'm afraid it will fall into my well and drown. Wouldn't that ruin my whole well?"
She rolled her eyes and immediately grabbed Meng Shuyue, asking her to explain, "Xiao Meng, you brought this cat back. If it falls into the well, you have to compensate me with a well..."
"Bang!"
The round manhole cover made of large stones at the foot instantly covered the entire wellhead with sparkling water underneath.
The landlady and Meng Shuyue were stunned.
I watched the masked young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes lift up the stone that would take five or six people to move without any burden and put it on the well.
It's simply divine power!
