Chapter 18 This Aunt is So Beautiful
Old Master Liu glanced at Liu Ruyan, nudged her lightly with his foot, and looked at Old Madam Si with a smile: "Old Madam, I heard that Miss Si is coming back, right?"
"He should be on the way. I think he will be back in the next few days." Old Lady Si smiled faintly.
When Siming woke up, he saw two furry little heads beside him. His big bed made them look a little petite.
He got up quietly, changed his clothes, and seeing that the two children were still sleeping soundly, he opened the door and walked out.
Bailing and Jiang Ze were both waiting outside the door. When they saw him come out, they hurried to greet him.
"Speak quietly and listen to what's going on inside." Si Ming gave the order and walked downstairs.
Juanjuan woke up and lay on the bed, blinking her eyes, unable to realize where she was.
"Juanjuan, you're awake." Si Jinchen rubbed his eyes and turned to look at her.
"Brother." Juanjuan moved closer to him and put her arms around his arm.
Si Jinchen reached out to help her comb her hair and then sat on the bed in a daze for a while.
The two of them turned over and sat up, and saw that Sima Ming beside them was gone.
"Where's Dad?" Juanjuan looked around in confusion.
"Dad should have woken up and gone out." Si Jinchen saw a photo frame on the bedside table and suddenly stopped talking.
Juanjuan turned her head curiously and saw that the person in the photo frame was her father, and there was also a beautiful aunt whose identity she didn't know.
"This aunt is so beautiful."
"Juanjuan, this is Mommy." Si Jinchen jumped off the bed, walked to the bedside table, picked up the photo frame, and gently touched the face of the woman on it.
Juanjuan also lay on the edge of the bed, first her feet jumped off the bed, and after standing firmly, she ran to Si Jinchen's side.
"Why haven't I seen Mom?" She had been here for a long time, but hadn't seen this beautiful aunt.
"Mom has gone to a very far place and will not come back." Si Jinchen's voice was a little choked.
Juanjuan scratched her messy hair and said, "Are they the same as Juanjuan's previous parents? They also went to a very far place and didn't take Juanjuan with them."
Si Jinchen was stunned. He turned to look at Juanjuan, as if he had never asked these questions before.
Juanjuan stood on tiptoe and looked at the photo on the bedside table: "Mom is very beautiful, she must be a very gentle person."
"Mom is very capable. She is good at studying and doing business. I heard from Dad that she can also use a gun!" Si Jinchen was very proud.
"Wow! Mom is so awesome." Juanjuan's eyes were full of admiring little stars.
Bailing and Jiang Ze heard the sound and knocked on the door: "Miss, Master, can we come in?"
"Come in!" Si Jinchen restrained his emotions.
Juanjuan suddenly pulled Si Jinchen's hand and said, "Juanjuan will accompany brother and father from now on."
Si Jinchen felt the warmth in his palm dispel the sadness in his heart: "Okay."
.......
Siming was not wearing a military uniform. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, which made him look taller and more slender, with a sense of laziness.
He looked at the two people from the Liu family who were sitting opposite Madam Si and said, "Master Liu, what brings you here?"
"General Si, we wouldn't come to your temple unless we had something important to do."
Siming sat down next to Madam Si, crossing his long legs. "Oh! I wonder what's going on."
"I won't beat around the bush with the Governor. My two little grandsons are seriously ill. I heard from Doctor Huai that Master Achen got better after eating hundred-year-old wild ginseng."
"We just wanted to give it a try and see if the governor would give it up." Old Master Liu said very politely.
Siming didn't answer immediately: "This hundred-year-old wild ginseng is indeed rare. I spent a lot of effort and money to find such a plant."
"Regarding the friendship between our two families, I should have given Old Master Liu two pills when he asked. But unfortunately, there are only the last two pills left, and I was going to save my life."
"You know, if we're suppressing bandits, we're going to get hurt if we're not careful. It's not going to work if we don't have something to protect ourselves."
Old Master Liu's hand, gripping the cane, had turned pale. "Of course we know this, but Commander-in-Chief, these two children are still young. I beg you to give them up."
Siming looked embarrassed and remained silent.
Old Master Liu gritted his teeth a little: "General, how about this? I'll use a small yellow croaker to buy a pill."
Siming just lowered his head and still didn't respond: You sent me away with just one hundred silver dollars, you really think I'm a beggar.
"One pill for each big yellow croaker." Old Master Liu said with gritted teeth.
"Master Liu, just because your two grandsons' lives are worthless doesn't mean my life, Siming, is worthless too." Siming sneered.
"Si Ming, don't go too far. If we could find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng for a while, our family wouldn't have to ask you for help." Liu Ruyan was angry.
"The gate is over there. I won't see you off. I still have official business to attend to." Siming said as he made a gesture to get up and leave.
"Do you have the right to speak?" Old Master Liu slapped Liu Ruyan in the face.
"Dad, you hit me?" Liu Ruyan looked at him in disbelief.
Old Master Liu didn't even look at her, but said with a smile, "Commander-in-Chief, I've spoiled this kid. Don't argue with him. I was inconsiderate just now."
Siming leaned back on the sofa again, showing no intention of leaving.
Si Tian and Madam Si were drinking tea quietly with their teacups in hand, as if they didn't care at all about what was happening here.
Old Master Liu knew that if he wanted to take the medicine away today, he would have to bleed heavily.
I had originally thought of bringing Liu Ruyan along to play the emotional card, but who knew she was such a brainless idiot.
"One hundred large yellow croakers for one pill. I'll give you two hundred large yellow croakers for two pills, plus the tailor shop across from the Second Master's New Clothing Store."
Mr. Liu directly offered a high price.
"Dad, that's mine..." Liu Ruyan was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Shut up right there." Old Master Liu roared.
Siming smiled a little: "Then I will give up and give the two pills to Master Liu. After all, I have watched these two children grow up."
"As an elder, it's not easy for me to watch them die like this."
Old Master Liu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had done both good and bad things, forcing the Liu family to bleed heavily, and now they had to owe him a favor.
"The governor is right. When the two children recover, I will definitely bring them to thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. I don't have that much time to spend with the younger generation. I have two children at home, and I don't have much time to spend with them." After he said that, he looked at the housekeeper.
"Go get my two pills. When Master Liu brings the things over and counts them, have him take the pills back."
Siming stood up and prepared to leave after he finished speaking: "Master Liu, I am busy with official duties, so I will not stay with you any longer. If you have nothing to do, you can stay and have a meal before leaving."
