"Okay, then wait for me, I'll go back to my room to get something." Jiang Yule said and turned back to the house
Mu Chuan didn't know what Jiang Yule was going to do, so he just waited obediently at the door of the room.
Soon Jiang Yule came out of the house holding a small package.
Mu Chuan hurried forward to take it.
"What are you doing?" Mu Chuan asked curiously.
"Go find Tian Chunyan at the end of the village and make two sets of clothes for her, and give the fabric to her."
Mu Chuan nodded, carrying the package and going out with Jiang Yule.
As soon as he went out, he ran into a dark and thin little boy, who looked at Jiang Yule with a resentful expression. Mu Chuan had just returned not long ago and was not very familiar with the villagers, but seeing the boy's expression, he subconsciously protected Jiang Yule behind him.
"It's okay, this is Sister Chunyan's child." Jiang Yule gently patted Mu Chuan's shoulder. When he saw Xiaodong's expression, Jiang Yule was a little puzzled.
"Xiaodong, did your mother ask you to pick me up?"
Xiaodong nodded, his face was tightly knitted, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Two adults and one child were walking on the road. With Xiaodong around, Mu Chuan and Jiang Yule were eye-catching, but they didn't gossip about anything outrageous. They chatted about something until Xiaodong interrupted them.
"Sister Jiang, is what you just said at home true?"
Jiang Yule was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand what Xiaodong was talking about. But in just a moment, Jiang Yule understood what the other party was asking from Xiaodong's twisted expression.
I regretted it for a moment. Why couldn't I wait until I entered the yard and closed the door before talking about it...
With a long sigh, Jiang Yule bent down slightly and looked Xiaodong in the eye. "Hey, Xiaodong, first of all, I want to apologize to you. We shouldn't talk about your elders and family affairs behind their backs. As for what we said just now? It's just our guess and can't prove anything. Besides, didn't your uncle and aunt also say that the effect of the medicine is not as good as before and it's time to change it? Maybe the current medicine is really not working well, so I made a wrong judgment."
"Sister, I'm an adult now. I can help mom earn work points and take care of my younger brothers and sisters. Don't lie to me. That's not what you said when you were chatting with Sister Meng just now."
Xiaodong asked with the look of a little adult, which made Jiang Yule feel embarrassed and amused. She pursed her lips and didn't know how to answer for a moment. The main thing was that she didn't have this matter and it was not good to talk nonsense to a child.
"Xiaodong, I have no evidence for this matter. What happened just now is just speculation. Your uncle and aunt are your family after all. If they knew that you suspected them casually, they would be sad."
"Well, how about this? I told your mother before, stop giving Ni'er the medicine for a month. During this time, you stay at home and observe her to see if she is doing well or not, and see if your uncle and aunt will come to talk to you. Then we can make a judgment, okay?"
Xiaodong frowned and thought about the feasibility of what Jiang Yule said. After a long time, he finally nodded and agreed.
"Sister Jiang, I will listen to you. I will observe carefully and will not tell mom, nor will I let mom give my sister medicine again," Xiaodong promised Jiang Yule.
"Okay, if you have any questions during this period, feel free to come to me."
"Thank you, sister." Xiaodong thanked Jiang Yule, then returned to his frowning state of thinking, saying nothing and just walking with his head down.
It was not until I reached the doorstep that I adjusted my expression and ran home.
"Mom, I brought Sister Jiang here."
"Go in, I'll wait for you at the door." Mu Chuan put the things on the stone table in the yard and left the yard. There were many rumors about the widow, and Mu Chuan's appearance was already conspicuous. If he was seen going in and not coming out for a long time, even if there were many people at home, there would be all kinds of rumors, which would not be good for them.
"Jiang Zhiqing, are these all?" Tian Chunyan asked
"Yes, it's almost enough for two sets of clothes." While Jiang Yule was talking, Tian Chunyan had already opened the package. When she saw the malted milk on the top, her eyes instantly turned red, and she even looked a little unbelievable.
“This…what is this?”
"It's for Ni'er, my family sent it to me. It doesn't matter if I drink it or not. Ni'er's health is more important. This will affect her whole life, so don't be polite."
"Then... I'll give you the money. I don't want the money for making clothes," Tian Chunyan said gratefully. Malted milk is expensive and requires a ticket. It's usually hard to buy. The few dollars are not enough. But since it's Ni'er's business, she really can't bear to give it up.
"Take it. Xiaodong and Xiaobei also need to eat. Put it away quickly. If you keep pushing it around, the neighbors will see you. Okay, my friend is still waiting outside, so I'll leave first." Jiang Yule waved his hand and walked out of the yard quickly.
Mu Chuan was standing under a big tree at the intersection. In the setting sun, his straight figure and handsome face seemed to be emitting golden light, like a god.
"Thank you, sister." Ever since seeing the malted milk in the package, Xiaodong has believed in Jiang Yule without a doubt. Someone who is so kind to his sister even though they are not related to each other can't be a bad person.
When Jiang Yule saw Mu Chuan in a daze, Xiaodong who had chased after him called her back. Jiang Yule looked at Xiaodong's back as he thanked her and ran away, and raised her eyebrows slightly. What a shy kid!
Putting aside his thoughts, he walked towards Mu Chuan
"Go home"
"Well, what did that kid just say to you? What did he mean?"
"This family has three children, and the youngest, Ni'er, has been taking medicine since she was born. But I looked at the medicine today and it's not the right medicine for the disease. Sister Chunyan said that her brother and sister-in-law took Ni'er to see the doctor. She never saw the doctor from beginning to end."
