Chapter 263 Intention
Xiao Wei came to see it out of curiosity, and after looking at it for a while, she shrank her neck and said to me, "It seems like Sixth Brother is very angry."
I pulled her back to sit and said, "It's okay. Sixth Brother is just straightforward and loud. He will be fine after a while."
After finishing the meal, we said goodbye to Wang Shiba. I turned around and asked Xiaowei to say that she was not feeling well and went to Huichuntang to get some medicine while Xiaoliu was seeing patients. I wanted the most expensive and best tonic.
Xiaowei recited the symptoms I taught her and asked me, "Sister, you feel uncomfortable and are too embarrassed to go?"
I smiled mysteriously: "I'm fine. They are short of money because they want to get married, so I gave them some money."
Xiao Wei came back and said that Sixth Brother was not at home, and he seemed to have gone out with Seventeen to raise money. The doctor prescribed it for her. At first, he was not very confident, but she persuaded him that tonic medicine would not kill people, so he bought a lot of it.
I took the medicine and told her to wait outside Huichuntang after the shop closed in the afternoon every few days, and wait until she saw Sixth Brother go out before going to get the medicine.
After doing this a few times, Xiaoliu went straight to the door with the string.
Pushing the skewer, Xiaoliu glared at him first, then took out a purse from his pocket, put it on the counter and pushed it to us, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't accept the money for the medicine."
I quickly replied, "Sixth Brother, what's wrong? Xiaowei feels good after taking your medicine. Besides, the medicine has been boiled and there is no place to return it to you. How can I accept the money you bring back?"
Xiaoliu rarely smiled, but looked at me seriously: "The master is not very good at his job. He got the wrong medicine last time, but Xiaowei said she felt better after taking it. I took her pulse when she was not paying attention. Her pulse is stable and her spiritual power is abundant. She is fine."
I looked at Xiaowei a little embarrassedly. She stuck out her tongue at me with her back to Xiaoliu.
"So please take back this money." Xiao Liu bowed.
"We heard that Chuanzi is getting married. Sixth brother and Huichuntang have helped us a lot. This is a small token of our appreciation. Consider it as an advance payment of the gift money." I said, looking at Xiaoliu's face.
"Yes, Sixth Brother, aren't we short of money? Can we just take it first and return it to them later?" Chuanzi pleaded.
"Take it back, take it back! Take it back! You good-for-nothing! What did I teach you?!" Xiao Liu gave him a slap on the head, neither too light nor too heavy.
Chuanzi covered his head, drooped his eyes, and was completely speechless.
Seeing Xiaoliu so determined, I could only persuade him, "Sixth brother, don't be angry. Chuanzi is also anxious, and we are anxious too, so... we apologize to you."
Xiaoliu watched his anger subside and nodded to me: "It's okay, you are doing this for our own good, I know. It's just that I'm embarrassed to accept it, we will find another way."
I nodded as well. "Well, there is always a way. A guest who has been there before came to my place for tea and mentioned that... Tian'er is old and the madam didn't want to keep her. Maybe the madam is taking advantage of Qiao'er and she won't be able to hold on for long. You guys should beg her again."
Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then stood up and bowed to me: "Thank you!"
After saying that, he grabbed the skewer and walked away.
A few days later, Chuanzi came to my place and bought a bunch of cookies and cakes, and ordered a glass of sweet water. He smiled and thanked me, "Thank you, Sister Bai, we redeemed Tian'er."
I laughed and teased him, "Congratulations!"
Chuanzi bared his teeth and laughed: "Hehe! But sister, don't be angry with Sixth Brother. He was mainly angry with me that day, not with you!"
I waved my hand: "It's okay, I don't take it to heart. Sixth Brother has his own principles in doing things."
Chuanzi retracted his big teeth, suddenly stared at me seriously and asked, "Sister, I heard that your brother-in-law...isn't he very kind to you?"
I exclaimed "Ah?" and didn't know why he suddenly turned to this topic.
He whispered, "Don't blame me for being presumptuous. I just think that life is short and you have to be with the right person to live a fulfilling life. I was thinking, Sixth Brother was so angry that day, could it be that he felt... that he had lost face in front of you?"
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Chuanzi shook his head and continued, "I feel that my sister is a very good person and takes special care of us. Sixth brother also likes to come to you whenever he has nothing to do. If you are embarrassed to say it, I can sound out the matter with Sixth brother for you. Of course, the son-in-law from your hometown who married into the family must be divorced first!"
I sighed. Although I like Xiaoliu very much and he may like me too, but... it’s not that kind of like at all!
When Chuanzi saw me sighing, he hugged the bag of cakes in his arms and said, "Don't worry, take your time. Divorce is not something that can be done in a day or two. You see, Sixth Brother is so old and has no one around him. He can't run away for a while and no one wants him. You just have an idea in your mind, and I will definitely help my sister when the time comes!" After that, he walked away happily holding the cakes.
After this conversation, I would go to the kitchen whenever I had nothing to do, for fear that Chuanzi had already arranged his marriage. He started to think about his sixth brother, who was still a bachelor, and tried to find a matchmaker for him.
During this period, I missed Xiaoliu once, Ye Shiqi once, and Chuanzi twice, and Xiaowei helped me to take care of them.
Later, she couldn't stand it anymore and came to me and said, "Sister! If you don't go to the front hall, I won't be able to write my limited stories!"
I made a pinky promise with her that I would catch up with her next time and improve my level of weaving.
It was the first snowy day, the road was difficult to walk on, there were no customers, and I was sitting beside the counter, bored and drowsy.
Suddenly, Wang Shiba appeared at the door holding a tightly wrapped quilt and said to me anxiously: "Girl! Help me!"
My sleepiness disappeared instantly. I stood up and walked towards him. I asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?!"
Wang Shiba was anxious: "Qiao Bin has had a fever for two days. I gave her medicine but it didn't go away. I looked at her...something was wrong!"
I looked down and saw Qiao Bin's red face, twitching in the quilt like he was having a fever convulsion.
I hurriedly asked him, "Where's Xiangliu? Please ask him to ride Maoqiu to the nearest city to find a doctor."
Wang Shiba's mouth curled downwards, revealing a crying face: "He rode a fur ball to the Central Plains a few days ago and hasn't come back yet. Sister, do you know who has the best medical skills in this town?"
Seeing Qiao Bin rolling her eyes, I hugged her, put on a cloak, and ran out the door, saying as I ran, "I'm going to Huichun Hall!"
Wang Shiba chased me from behind and shouted, "Isn't that a place for treating women's illnesses?"
I saw someone on the road looking at him, so I turned around and shook my head at him: "Brother, don't go. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Don't worry, I will definitely cure Qiao Bin."
He hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied, "Then I'll go back to your place and Xiaowei and I will wait for you."
I nodded and ran towards Huichuntang holding Qiao Bin.
Huichuntang doesn’t have elixir, but it has Xiaoliu’s blood.
