After she comforted her, the woman's confused eyes seemed to clear up, she stopped mumbling and became quiet. After Min Yuqing helped her elder sister into the house, she walked towards another room that had been converted from a woodshed into a living room.
The room was clean, with a bed for one person, a table and a stool.
Lying on the bed was a man in his fifties with a ferocious expression on his face. When he saw Min Yuqing coming in, his cloudy eyes were instantly filled with resentment. He opened his mouth to curse, but no sound came out. He tried to struggle to get up, but only his hands could move.
Four days ago, a thief suddenly came to his house, tied him up while he was drunk, blindfolded him, and severely beat his leg. This was the story his daughter told the authorities, but he knew it was not true. His leg was definitely not broken by the thief, and he even suspected that it was his daughter who did it.
Min Yuqing sat on the stool, only taking up one-third of the surface. She sat upright, looking gentle and well-behaved. She looked at the man quietly. No matter how ferocious the man on the bed looked, her expression did not change at all. After a while, she stood up and left quietly.
In the evening, it started raining again, and the rain was very heavy.
The plum rain in June is not pleasant, and the weather is still sticky and humid.
Xia and Nanny Feng were ironing the family's clothes, while Achan and Zhenzhu were folding them neatly.
"The front is folded wrongly." Nanny Feng said to Zhenzhu with sharp eyes.
Pearl stuck out her tongue and started folding again.
"Sister-in-law, Madam, I'm here." Chen Heng walked into the ear room and patted the rain off her body.
Ah Chan hurriedly brought a clean and dry towel to Madam Shen, and also brought over the prepared ginger tea.
"Sister-in-law, I saw the girl you mentioned last time today." After drinking the ginger tea, Shen Heng described the girl's appearance.
Xia nodded: "That's her. Her shop is not far from the pancake shop."
"I also bought a handkerchief from her. Oh, the shop was too busy today, so I left it there and didn't bring it with me." She had been busy buying goods today and was busy looking for a warehouse. When she got busy, she just put it aside. Shen Heng smiled and said, "Wu Xianzi still has excellent taste. That girl is quite attractive."
It was already late at night when Xie Jianqi arrived.
Chen Heng was looking at the account book while calculating on the abacus. Now that she had the Liugang account, she would check it.
"You always lower your head like this when checking the accounts. Be careful of eye problems." Xie Jian straightened her up and said, "Light an extra candle next time."
"Okay." After a while, Shen Heng finished checking the account book. She looked up and saw Xie Jian looking out the window, thinking about something.
"Why did you open the window? It's so humid outside."
Xie Jian quickly closed the window.
"Are you worried about something?" Shen Heng rarely saw Xie Jian's expression.
"The teacher has sent me a letter." Xie Jian took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to her.
Chen Heng opened the letter and took a look. It detailed what the Zhuyou technique was and specifically pointed out that if the eldest brother of the Xie family could not be awakened, it might be that he did not want to face reality. In that case, no matter what he did, it would not be of much use.
Don't want to face reality, is it because your current life is too good? If so, then it will be difficult. Shen Heng asked: "What are you going to do?"
"My elder brother is not the kind of person who would be obsessed with wealth and status." Xie Jian firmly believed this.
