"Oh? How did the person die?"
Qin Shu was wearing a coat and standing relaxedly against the door frame, her voice sounding a little lazy.
Uncle Qin Liu's voice was anxious, but there was a smile of understanding on his face.
"Old man Yang suddenly had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. His son, Axue's stepfather, drank too much with the villagers tonight. On the way home, he ran into a tree and killed himself."
Qin Shu raised her eyes and said with a smile: "This is strange. Is there anyone who would hit himself to death? How much force would it take?"
Uncle Qin Liu smiled meaningfully: "It's very strange. For a normal person, after being drunk and being hit by such a strong external force, the person should be sober at least."
Qin Shu's eyes darkened slightly, and she curled her lips: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Uncle Qin Liu's smile faded and he sighed, "Axue, that child, is also quite pitiful..."
Axue was taken by her mother to remarry and married Old Man Yang's son.
The Yang family treated Axue very well. It was rare in rural areas for a girl to be able to go to school, especially a stepdaughter.
I heard that the Yang family treats Axue as their own child.
Axue's mother couldn't stand to see her daughter doing well, so she beat and scolded Axue and always complained to the villagers.
What’s even more outrageous is that Axue’s mother, as a mother, slandered her own daughter in public.
Just because Axue dresses nicely, people call her shameless, a vixen, and someone who wants to seduce men.
Many people are thankful for Axue, as she has Old Man Yang's family to protect her. Otherwise, who knows how she would have been abused by her biological mother.
Uncle Qin Liu also thought so in the past.
It was not until daytime that Uncle Qin Liu realized something was wrong when he learned that Axue was pregnant and saw the unnatural expression on Old Man Yang's face and his intimate gestures towards Axue.
When he was having doubts, something unexpected happened to the Yang family.
Qin Shu remained indifferent throughout the whole process as she listened to what happened to Axue.
"ha--"
She yawned and said sleepily, "I see. Sixth Uncle, is there anything else?"
Uncle Qin Liu looked at her nonchalant expression and explained his purpose.
"Axue is having a hard time in the Yang family. I want to find a family for her."
Qin Shu became interested: "You are overflowing with sympathy now."
There are too many poor people in this world.
Qin Shu also sympathized with Axue's situation, otherwise she would not have helped her.
But sending Buddha to the west, even considering Axue's second half of life, can't help but make people think deeply.
Uncle Qin Liu laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. I think Xue is a good kid. It would be great for Granny Liu to have her as her granddaughter."
Qin Shu frowned and looked up and down at Uncle Qin Liu.
I only heard her ask seriously: "Sixth Uncle, you didn't bully Ah Xue, did you?"
Uncle Qin Liu: "..."
He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Qin Shu and wanted to curse at her.
Facing the teasing and intriguing smile in Qin Shu's eyes, Uncle Qin Liu took a deep breath.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid! I am already the great-grandfather of that kid. I just saw that Granny Liu in our village is getting old, so I wanted to find a granddaughter to take care of her and see her through to the end of her life."
Qin Shu knew this old lady Liu. The old lady was also a strange person in Yushan Village.
The old lady is 88 years old this year and is still in good health. When she was young, because her family favored boys over girls, in order to help her brother find a wife, her family sold Liu Po to a wealthy family as a concubine, so that she could give birth to a son and carry on the family line.
At that time, Mrs. Liu was thirteen or fourteen years old, young and beautiful, and was often bullied by the wife.
Mrs. Liu was very lucky and gave birth to three sons in a row.
Unfortunately, all the children were taken away and raised by the wife.
Later, the world became chaotic and wealthy families fled China and went overseas by ship.
At that time, boat tickets were in short supply and could not be bought even if you had money, so there was no chance for Liu Pozi to get a ticket.
Mrs. Liu didn't want to die, so she begged her three sons to take her away.
The three sons were raised by the wife to be selfish. They looked down on their biological mother from the bottom of their hearts and either beat or scolded her.
The old woman was abandoned, and no one cared about the life or death of a concubine like her.
Fortunately, she did not go with them. Her husband's family fled and all of them died in a shipwreck.
Mrs. Liu has been alone for so many years and has always wanted to raise a child and take care of her in her old age.
The strange thing about Mrs. Liu is that while others want to raise a boy, she insists on raising a girl.
It’s not that no one wants to give her a child. In most families in the countryside, girls are considered a loss of money.
But Mrs. Liu said that this one had a crooked mouth and eyes, and that one had eyes full of calculations, or that they were too beautiful and would become too arrogant to be controlled in the future.
In short, Mrs. Liu is not only picky, but also has a sharp tongue.
After a long time, no one paid any attention to her.
Qin Shu remembered that in her previous life, Mrs. Liu failed to adopt the child as she wished.
However, after Liu Pozi died, a lot of gold, silver, and treasures, as well as valuable antiques, were dug out from her yard.
Because Liu Pozi had no relatives, all those things were confiscated after her death.
Uncle Qin Liu saw that Qin Shu didn't say anything, so he asked tentatively, "Shu girl, what do you think about this?"
"fine."
Qin Shu really thinks it’s great.
But this matter has nothing to do with her.
Uncle Qin Liu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "You think it's good too? Then can you help to connect them?"
Qin Shu asked: "Why don't you go there yourself?"
Uncle Qin Liu said, "That child has gone through such a thing. It's not appropriate for an old man like me to talk to her."
Qin Shu looked at him suspiciously for a while, then asked quietly, "Sixth Uncle, you are not having an affair with Granny Liu, are you?"
Otherwise, why would you care so much about this matter.
Uncle Qin Liu: "..."
First he was suspected of bullying Axue, and now he is suspected of having an affair with Liu Pozi.
No matter how good the old man's temper is, he can't suppress it anymore.
His face was slightly distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No! Granny Liu was kind to our Qin family back then and saved the younger generation of the clan..."
During the war, all the young and middle-aged men of the Qin family went to the battlefield, and the children at home could not keep up.
A child from the Qin family fell into the river and was rescued by Mrs. Liu.
Qin Shu didn't expect that Liu Po, who had little presence in the village, had such a connection with her family.
Her expression became serious: "Okay, when Ah Xue comes to see me, I'll mention it to her."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. It's pitiful that Granny Liu is alone. I guess she won't live for many years. I hope she can die with peace of mind."
Qin Shu thought to herself, you’re overthinking it.
Mrs. Liu was a long-lived person and lived to be 99 years old in her previous life.
"knew--"
Qin Shu returned to her room and saw Xie Chennan running out from next door.
"Why did you get out?"
Xie Chennan, wearing pajamas, said with a tangled expression: "Mom, I can't sleep."
"ha--"
Qin Shu yawned and said lazily, "You are young and it is the time to be sleepy. What are you worried about?"
Xie Chennan pulled her sleeve and asked, "Mom, Ah Xue is obviously pregnant, why are you saying she's not?"
Because of this problem, he was so troubled that he couldn't sleep at night.
When Qin Shu was pregnant, he would feel her pulse every day. Once he put his hand on Axue's pulse, he knew it was a slippery pulse, there was no way he could be wrong!
“That’s called a white lie.”
The corners of Qin Shu's lips curved into a lazy, cold smile.
When she saw Axue, she thought the girl had a boyfriend, but she didn't know that her calculation was wrong and it became a family scandal.
When Xie Chennan found out that his diagnosis was correct, he patted his chest with his little hand.
He said happily, "I'm fine."
After Qin Shu coaxed her son back to his room, she also went back to sleep.
*
This afternoon.
Xie Chennan is giving acupuncture to an elderly man with cold legs.
Qin Shu took the medicine according to the prescription her son gave her, with the corners of her lips always curled up.
It has to be said that Xie Chennan is better than his teacher.
Although there were some minor flaws in the consultation process these days, there were no major problems.
"Sister Qin——"
A familiar girl's voice came from the door.
Qin Shu turned around and saw Axue, leading a girl with long hair.
Qin Shu smiled: "Axue is here, come in and sit down."
Her eyes fell on the long-haired girl who followed in. The girl had a good figure, outstanding temperament, and was very beautiful, but the ugly scar on her left cheek from a burn was a bit glaring.
Axue's face looked very pale, but there was determination lingering between her eyebrows and her eyes, without any timidity.
She walked up to Qin Shu and handed the money to her.
"Sister Qin, this is the money for the previous consultation."
Qin Shu looked down and saw that there were about thirty or forty yuan.
She raised her chin slightly and said, "Put it on the table. You guys sit down for a while and wait for me to clean up."
Axue nodded obediently: "Okay——"
The two girls sat on the stools obediently, looking a little reserved.
Qin Shu patted the medicine residue on her hands, sat in the main seat, and her eyes uncontrollably fell on the long-haired girl again.
She asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Axue said nervously: "This is my classmate, Ye Jingxian."
Qin Shu nodded and found that Ye Jingxian's eyes were misty and she didn't look at her straight in the eye.
Ah Xue grabbed her pants with both hands and mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Qin, Ye Jingxian is a medical student in Yunzhen. She is a good seedling valued by the instructor and has a bright future. But she is blind. Can you cure her?"
Qin Shu was surprised. No wonder Ye Jingxian didn't look at people straight in the eye. It turned out that she was blind.
She stood up and walked forward, pinching Ye Jingxian's chin and lifting it up slightly.
"Can't you see anything at all?"
"……Um."
Her voice was so soft and tender that it made people's hearts tingle as soon as she opened her mouth.
Qin Shu stared at Ye Jingxian with a deeper gaze. This girl...her voice was gentle and enchanting. Even though her appearance was ruined, her words and actions still made people's hearts ripple and added to her charming charm.
Judging from the girl's dress, her family situation is average.
Such a highly sensitive physique is not a good thing for Ye Jingxian, who comes from an ordinary family.
