Qin Shuang frowned, feeling that he was hiding something from her.
"Are you sure the price is not high, and are you sure there is no danger, and can you raise enough money for the life-extending surgery?" she asked worriedly.
Lu Sheng nodded, looked at her deeply, and lowered his head again, "I don't want my mother to be upset, and I don't want you to be upset either!"
He slowly took out the jade bracelet from his body and placed it in her hand, "I'm returning this to you. I know it's very important to you!"
From the moment he accepted the jade bracelet, he knew what it meant to her. Even though he liked it, he didn't want to pawn something that was so precious to her.
Qin Shuang pursed his lips and said nothing, staring at his fluffy hair and said, "In that case, you should work hard. I asked the aunt next door to teach me how to make paper-folding the other day. You can take it to the town to sell it when you have time. Any money you can make is good!"
Lu Sheng raised a gentle smile and agreed, "Okay!"

The days passed uneventfully. He would go out early and come back late tomorrow. He would go out early and come back late in the evening.
As expected, every time he came to town, he would bring her many surprises.
There were wooden combs for combing hair, flowery ropes for women, and even several sets of underwear were bought for her.
Qin Shuang blushed and tried it on, and found that it fit surprisingly well.
She also didn't understand why he knew her size so well, since they had never even held hands...
～～～
One day, Qin Shuang was at home making paper-cutting with Grandma Wang next door when Tiedan ran in.
Qin Shuang knew that Tiedan was Grandma Wang's grandson, Yansheng's son, and that he and Yansheng were in the fifth grade of primary school in Bashang.
“Tiedan, come here quickly, sister will give you something delicious!” Seeing Tiedan playing there alone, Qin Shuang casually handed him the apple that Lu Sheng had left for her the previous morning.
Tiedan is dark-skinned, not as handsome as Yansheng and Lusheng. He is rather rustic, with dark eyes, thick lips, messy hair sticking to his scalp, eyebrows curved downward, and a rather wooden and solid look.
Seeing Qin Shuang calling him, he walked over timidly and looked at her with his dark eyes.
To be honest, he had never seen a sister as beautiful as her. She looked like she came out of a painting. Even the teachers who came here to teach were not as beautiful as her.
"Thank you!" he whispered as he took the apple.
Qin Shuang smiled gently and rubbed her head.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. Did you come from heaven?" Tiedan asked while eating an apple and hiding in Grandma Wang's arms.
Qin Shuang raised his lips and skillfully put the glued paper in the backpack beside him, "No, I'm just staying at Brother Lusheng's house!"
"Excuse me?" Tiedan glanced at Grandma Wang's old eyes and asked, "Aren't you Brother Lusheng's wife?"
Qin Shuang's face flushed red, and Grandma Wang hit him on the black head and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Tiedan rubbed his head, feeling a little aggrieved. "But, we kids all said that, and Yansheng always said at school that his brother brought him a beautiful sister-in-law and they were going to get married!"
Qin Shuang raised her lips slightly and continued her hand movements without saying anything. She was too lazy to care about these rumors.
After all, she was going to leave.
Seeing that Qin Shuang didn't react, Granny Wang grabbed Tiedan'er's butt again and said angrily, "You stinky boy, you compare everything with Yansheng, how come your performance is not better than Yansheng's?"
Tiedan felt a little aggrieved, rubbing his butt with a droopy face, "I'm studying hard too!"
After saying that, he was about to run away. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I saw Brother Lu Sheng by the river last night."
