Chapter 39 Young Lady of the Liu Family
Chapter 39 Young Lady of the Liu Family
After looking at the yard,
Chen wanted to pack up and move quickly.
She felt bad for disturbing her elder brother and sister-in-law every day.
"Daughter, your father and I want to clean up this place as soon as possible, what do you think?"
Zhou Lingling didn't hesitate at all and answered as a matter of course: "Of course, let's pack up and move as soon as possible!"
"After all, my parents have been separated for so long..."
Chen, who was happily preparing to roll up her sleeves to work, said: "..."
She looked at her daughter in surprise, as if wondering if her daughter had any other meaning behind what she said.
Zhou Lingling chuckled and quickly changed the subject:
"Mom, there are three main rooms here. You can live in one, one will be the main room, and the one next to it will be my brother's study~"
Chen thought for a moment and said, "The main room has good lighting, and the remaining room is perfect for you to live in."
The yard was bought by my daughter, so forget about the two of them. The eldest and second sons are just living in my daughter's house. Why do they need such a nice study room?
Zhou Lingling knew what her mother was thinking at a glance and felt very relieved.
Some people take your efforts for granted and even think that you haven't given your all.
But some people feel very sorry for every bit of your effort, fearing that you will suffer any loss.
Little did she know that it was precisely because of this that she was willing...
Zhou Lingling shook her head: "Mom, the room should be used as a study room because it has good lighting. I am still waiting for my brother to become a high-ranking official and protect me in the future!"
Besides, she was giving up the main house, and she wanted to occupy two of the four side rooms by herself...
this day,
Everyone, young and old, was busy in the new yard. Even for lunch, Zhou Laoer went out and bought a few big meat buns.
After a busy day, she borrowed a hoe from the neighbor and cleared the weeds in the yard. There was a circle of flower beds along the wall, which Zhou Lingling liked very much. She also planned to plant some beautiful flowers and plants.
There were still some old furniture in several rooms. A few of them were barely usable, and the rest were taken to the yard and asked Zhou Laoer to chop them up and use them as firewood.
Butcher Chen, along with his two grandsons and grandson, was responsible for piling the chopped wood into a shed built on the side of the wing.
Chen's mother and daughter and the old lady were responsible for cleaning up the dust and small debris.
There are five rooms, a kitchen and a yard. Zhou Lingling and the old lady are just there to help.
One of them was old and in poor health, and the other was the treasure of the family. Chen didn't let them get involved at all, and she became the main force in cleaning.
If you can't use your hands, you can only use your brain.
Zhou Lingling touched her small bag, took out the straw paper she had borrowed from her elder brother and the chicken feather brush she had made herself, and began to think about the layout of each room.
The main point is that no one should be idle.
As it was getting dark, Zhou Lingling looked at the drawings in her hand, which only she understood, and silently folded them and put them back into her small bag.
It doesn't matter, as long as she can understand it.
She turned and shouted to Zhou Laoer, who was still sweating profusely as he dismantled a tattered table in the yard:
"Dad, it's getting late. We should go back."
Zhou Lao Er stood up, wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and responded:
"My daughter! You and your mother should go back first, otherwise it will be difficult to walk when it gets dark. I will chop off the last few and then come back."
Butcher Chen also nodded: "I'll wait for my son-in-law together."
Zhou Lingling looked at the two of them with a serious face:
"Dad, Grandpa, this is not how we do our job. Our mission today is to clean up this garbage, and now the mission has been successfully completed!"
"There are still tasks for tomorrow. What if you're too tired to do them tomorrow?"
Her father just relied on his own strength and didn't take his body seriously at all. In her opinion, apart from being strong, Zhou Laoer had almost all kinds of health problems at such a young age.
Her grandfather had been a butcher all his life and had many hidden injuries on his body. He would have to heal them when he had the chance.
Zhou Laoer patted his chest and said, "My dear, your father is very capable! Even if I keep doing this for another ten days or half a month, it won't be a problem!"
When Zhou Laoer thought that they were about to have their own home, he didn't want to rest for a moment and felt full of strength.
Zhou Lingling didn't say anything, just stared at the two of them with her big watery eyes.
Zhou Laoer: “…”
Butcher Chen: “…”
"Okay, okay, let's go together."
The father-in-law and son-in-law raised their hands in surrender.
Hey!
Having a daughter (granddaughter) who is so caring is such a sweet burden!
Old Mrs. Chen smiled secretly and said to Chen: "Look, it's your daughter who can control them."
Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it's all because of this girl's kindness."
Old Mrs. Chen agreed with this.
People are interdependent. Of course, they love Lingling because she is the youngest, but she also tries her best to be good to her family in her own way.
When returning from the new courtyard, I passed by Baohe Hall again.
The pharmacy was about to close. The carriage that had appeared during the day had disappeared, but there were still a few faint red marks in front of Baohetang's door. I guess the clerk had cleaned it up.
Just as they were about to pass by, Zhou Lingling thought for a moment, said something to her parents, and turned around and walked in.
"Hey, bro!"
Zhou Lingling called out to the apprentice who had a good memory.
The young man shook the handkerchief in his hand and looked at her.
"Huh? It's you, little sister. Are you here to buy medicine again?"
It's worthy of her brain that even Zhou Lingling admires. She comes into contact with so many people every day in the pharmacy, and so much time has passed, but people still remember her.
Zhou Lingling smiled harmlessly, "No, I just have something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" The young man looked puzzled.
Zhou Lingling leaned over and whispered, "Didn't a carriage hit my grandmother on the street this morning? I saw blood on the ground and thought the carriage must have ended up at Baohe Hall, so I wanted to ask what happened."
"If it's convenient for you, just tell me. If it's not convenient, forget it..."
Although it is ancient times now, medical clinics still attach great importance to patient privacy.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the young man sighed with a sad face.
"It's nothing bad to say. The one who came was the young lady of the Liu family. She fell while going to burn incense on the mountain. She was pregnant and had a bleeding attack on the spot."
Zhou Lingling: “…Ah?” She goes to burn incense while pregnant?
"How's Madam Liu doing..."
So much blood has been shed along the way, the child may not be saved, right?
It’s hard to say for adults either.
Unexpectedly, the young man's eyes lit up and he cheered up: "Hey! It wasn't very good at first, but who could have helped them meet my master! My master gave Madam Liu acupuncture to stop the bleeding on the spot, and later prescribed medicine, and she woke up."
It turned out that this young man was the son of the owner of a drug store. Because he was very intelligent and had a photographic memory, he became a disciple of Dr. Bai and worked as a waiter in the drug store on weekdays.
He shook his head: "It's a pity. The fetus in her belly is already six months old. It probably won't survive..."
Zhou Lingling was surprised again: "...Huh?"
"In other words, the fetus in Madam Liu's belly is safe and sound now?"
This old doctor Bai is really good!
The young man sighed again, "It's only been saved temporarily. The young lady has been taken away by the Liu family. My master said that if the fetus is miscarried, the young lady will still be in danger. If there were ginseng that is over a hundred years old, it would be very helpful. We can even try to preserve the fetus until the seventh month..."
Unfortunately, the oldest ginseng in their store is only fifty or sixty years old.
Hearing this, Zhou Lingling wiped her face fiercely.
The young lady of the Liu family... this is an opportunity given to her by God!
Centennial ginseng!
She made a wish and the turtle got it!
