Chapter 16: Can't Take It Down



Seeing his sister's frown, Du Qi'an sighed and suggested.

"Second sister, Jing City has the best medical resources. Why don't you take Xiaoxi back to Jing City for a checkup first?"

When she heard that they had to go to the hospital, Su Muxi shook her head vigorously to express her refusal.

"Mom, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong with me. Can we not go to the hospital?"

Afraid that her performance was not genuine enough, Su Muxi pretended to be very scared.

"Going to the hospital requires injections and blood draws, so I don't want to go."

In fact, Su Muxi was very clear about her current situation.

She doesn't want her parents to spend more money and energy on her.

After all, going to Beijing for medical treatment would cost a considerable amount just for the travel expenses and various examination fees.

Not to mention that it was grandma who was in charge of the family finances. How could she easily come up with money to treat her illness?

After careful consideration, Du Wan made a decision.

"I think I should go home first, and then think about going to Beijing."

Su Aiguo saw Du Wan's hesitation and he understood her concerns.

This time when they came out to pick up Su Muxi, he and the old lady had to kneel down to get the few dozen dollars they had.

If you go to a big city like Beijing for medical treatment, it will undoubtedly cost a lot of money.

Looking back on the past years, I realized that my wife and children had to live such a hard life.

Su Aiguo blamed himself endlessly.

Fortunately, through this experience, he finally figured out a lot of things.

Su Aiguo raised his head, and his originally confused eyes gradually became firm.

Seeing that his sister had made up her mind, Du Qi'an stopped trying to persuade her.

"Then let's do as we said before. But Second Sister, if Xiaoxi feels unwell, you must come to Beijing City as soon as possible."

Du Wan walked up to Su Muxi lovingly and touched her little head.

"I know. Okay, let's go eat."

Du Qi'an pointed to the clothes he bought.

"Second sister, this is a token of my love. Please change into your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

Du Wan changed Su Muxi's clothes, shoes and socks, but neither she nor Su Aiguo changed.

Du Qian, who was waiting at the door, saw that among the three people who went out, only Su Muxi looked refreshed, so he didn't say much.

He walked forward and picked up Su Muxi.

"Our Xiaoxi is truly the most beautiful girl in the world."

"Hahaha, my little uncle is also the most handsome uncle in the world."

The two of them praised each other in a business talk.

"My most handsome uncle, I give this to you to thank you for buying me such beautiful clothes."

Su Muxi handed the talisman paper to Du Qian.

"You must carry it with you at all times. You must not take it off, even when you sleep."

"Until I go to Jing City to find you. I will check it then. If you lose it or don't have it with you, I will ignore you."

Seeing Su Muxi's serious expression, Du Qian also restrained his smile and took the talisman paper seriously.

"Don't worry, this is the first time my lovely niece has given me a gift, so of course I will keep it well."

After saying this, he put the talisman paper in his shirt pocket and patted it a few times with his hands.

"We agreed that you must come to Jing City as soon as possible to check whether I have kept it well."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Su Muxi stretched out her hand and shook hands with Du Qian to confirm.

After they had a hearty meal at a state-owned restaurant and packed their luggage, Du Qian drove the three of them all the way to the train station.

Du Qian has already bought the train ticket.

Before parting, both the brother and sister had tears in their eyes.

Du Wan held Su Muxi and reluctantly boarded the train.

When Su Muxi stepped into the sleeper car, a wave of heat mixed with an indescribable smell hit her.

Although this environment cannot be compared with that of her previous life, she is still very satisfied with it.

After all, the hateful human trafficker had taken her to sit in a hard seat.

Not only did she not sit down, she could only sit pitifully on the ground next to the trafficker's legs.

The ground was covered with peanuts, melon seed shells, and smelly shoes.

Su Aiguo carried his luggage and found their seats.

Du Qian was so thoughtful that he bought them two lower bunk beds next to each other.

At this time, a young woman dressed in fashionable clothes and a gray-haired lady were sitting on the lower bunk and chatting.

Noticing Su Aiguo and the others coming over, the fashionable woman nodded to them as a greeting.

Then he went up to the middle bunk and lay down without saying anything else.

The old lady quickly stood up to give them a seat and greeted them warmly.

"Hey, young man, this lower bunk is yours, right? Come on, I'll sit over there, you put your luggage here."

After saying that, she smiled and watched Du Wan and Su Muxi who followed Su Aiguo into the carriage.

She looked Su Muxi up and down, with fondness in her eyes.

"The little girl is really pretty. She looks about the same age as my grandson. She's three years old this year, right?"

The old lady started talking to Du Wan in a familiar manner.

Without waiting for Du Wan to answer, Su Muxi started chatting with the old lady.

"Grandma, you're right. I'm indeed three years old."

"Wow, this little mouth speaks very fluently." The old lady praised.

"Then let me ask you again, where are you going?"

Su Muxi smiled sweetly.

"Let's go home and go to Qingcheng."

"Oh, then we are really destined to be together. We are going the same way. Grandma is also going to Qingcheng."

Su Muxi curled her lips.

"Aren't we all going the same way by train?"

The old lady was obviously stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you're right, you're right, grandma is old and confused."

Du Wan and Su Aiguo had just packed their luggage when they heard Su Muxi's complaints.

The two looked at each other, and Du Wan deliberately frowned.

"Xiao Xi, children shouldn't be so rude."

Su Muxi stuck out her tongue, sat down on the bed, and looked at the busy figures of the small vendors outside the window.

The green train at that time had no air conditioning and the windows were wide open.

She stuck her head out of the window, feeling the unique atmosphere of this special era.

Although she is already an adult in her twenties at heart, her body is only three years old.

So, she sometimes behaves like a naughty child.

In fact, she quite enjoys this kind of role-playing!

After all, if she acted completely according to her own personality, her parents would probably think that their daughter had suddenly become a different person.

There were more troubles then.

Since that’s the case, let’s just let it be!

Just treat it as playing house and live like a real three-year-old child.

Behind her, the kind-hearted old lady was still chatting with the people around her about family matters.

When the train slowly started moving, there were no new passengers in Su Muxi's carriage.

The young fashionable girl and the old lady were both occupying the middle bunk, and the upper bunk was empty.

Su Aiguo exchanged beds with the old lady, which made the old lady even more enthusiastic towards their family.

Su Muxi had nothing to do, so she began to look at everyone in the carriage and tried to read their fortunes.
