Chu Yue, who was reading a solitary medical book in the room, raised her head, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but she did not show this emotion in front of others.
She turned her head and said towards the outside of the house, "Sister-in-law, Xiaozhu is still young. I don't want to decide her future too early. Let her wait until she is older. If she is willing to do it after she grows up, I have no problem with it."
Hearing Chu Yue's answer, Xiaozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xingping also joked outside the house, "Sister-in-law, your little carrot head is only as big as the wood. Isn't it too early to get engaged? Xiaozhu is one year older than the wood."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "What do you know? As the saying goes, a girl who is a junior in college is lucky to have a gold brick. Besides, Xiaozhu is only one year older than Mu Mu, so I think it's just right."
The key is that Xiaozhu is a capable girl and has a sister who is a doctor. If this marriage can really happen, there will be only advantages and no disadvantages.
Just when she was having her whims, Chu Yue's voice came again.
"Sister-in-law, I just thought about it and I'm afraid it won't work because of the seniority difference."
Yun Cuihe also reacted and hurriedly followed Chu Yue to help, "It's true, if Xiaozhu calls me mother, then they will really become friends in the future, what should Mu Mu call me? Why should he call me Yueyue? This is too outrageous. Come on, Guiying, don’t say this again in the future, or you won’t be laughed at.”
After hearing this, Mr. Xu let out a reluctant sigh and led her son home.
Yun Cuihe closed the courtyard door and snorted coldly.
"When a fox seeks friendship with a sheep, he knows that the family is not well-intentioned and wants to marry Xiaozhu. This is too big a deal." After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to be still angry and continued, "You're big My aunt was able to do it and saved her grandson's life. The head of the family didn't come by herself, so she asked Mrs. Xu to bring her a veil, as if she was looking down on someone, and for those who don't know, she thought our family lacked her veil."
Chu Yue came out of the house and stroked Yun Cuihe's back.
"Mom, things are already like this, and people have been saved, so we can just turn the page. If we turn back, we will be so angry that we will suffer the consequences."
Yun Cuihe sighed, "This is why your mother dragged you there. I can't say anything. If someone else had dragged you away, I would have had to scold them. If your father was here, this matter would definitely happen again." Another result.”
When she got married, she followed her husband. If her husband hadn't been gone, she wouldn't have been so passive in her life in Banpo Village.
Speaking of this, Yun Cuihe's eyes turned red with grievance.
Seeing this, Chu Yue hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't think about the past. You still have your husband, Xingping Xing'an, and Xiaozhu and me. If my husband can take the imperial examination and become an official in the future, I will earn a lot of money for you." You have an official status as Mrs. Gaoming, and they are still not allowed to nod and bow when they see you?"
After hearing Chu Yue's words, Yun Cuihe laughed out loud, "You kid is also a loser. If Xinghe wants to earn his life, he will earn it for you. By then, I will be an old woman, and I still want that." What are you waiting for in vain?"
Chu Yue smiled and took Yun Cuihe's arm.
"I don't care. When the time comes, I will make money for myself based on my own ability, and my husband will be responsible for making money for my mother. Let's see who dares to bully us in the future."
Because of Chu Yue's call, Yun Cuihe completely forgot about her previous emotions and reached out to pinch her nose.
"You, sometimes you are more sensible than anyone else, and sometimes you are like a child. I really can't do anything to you."
Then I thought about it, isn't the girl who is only fourteen years old just a child?
Chu Yue smiled and helped Yun Cuihe into the house.
"Mom is responsible for taking good care of herself. Our family's good days are still to come."
After a while, Lu Xinghe came back after buying medicine from the town and delivering it to his old house.
Seeing Lu Xinghe return home, Chu Yue hurriedly stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, "Ms. sir, has the journey been smooth?"
Lu Xinghe didn't speak until he entered the yard and led the mule to the pig pen, then whispered, "Nowadays, there are more and more refugees in the town. The officers and soldiers have set up checkpoints when entering the town, and they have to pay three cents before they can pass." , there are piles of refugees outside the town."
Chu Yue looked surprised, "Now you have to pay to enter the town?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "Not only do you have to pay, but the medical clinics and drug stores in the town are guarded by people. Any medicine you buy or any disease you treat must be registered before you leave. If the medicine you buy is for detoxification or injury treatment, Yes, we have to arrest him for questioning."
Chu Yue looked worried, "So strict? Then you..."
"I'm fine. Doctor Zhu split my medicine into three parts. I just went to the old house and picked out the few medicines I needed."
Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, senior brother is smart."
Although she can still make money now, in this world, it is unimaginable to live without a man in the family.
"From now on, we should avoid going to town if we have nothing to do. I guess it will be even more chaotic after a while."
Yun Cuihe followed the voice and left the house, "What's going on in the town? Is it not peaceful?"
"Mom, the town is now guarded by officers and soldiers. You have to pay three cents to enter the town." Chu Yue said hurriedly.
"It's done this year, alas! There's nothing we can do about it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the house again.
After Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe finished talking, they went back to the room to read.
…
In the next few days, Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe did not run there anymore, fearing that Zuo Yi and the boy at the old house would be exposed.
It wasn't until the fifth day that she and Lu Xinghe led the mules to carry four buckets of water to the old house to water the house as usual, and also removed Zuo Yi's stitches.
The boy was already awake and his wounds were healing extremely well. Perhaps intentionally, his face was still dirty and hard to see, but his eyes were bright and energetic.
After removing Zuo Yi's stitches, Chu Yue looked at the boy.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
There was alienation in the boy's cold expression, "Qian Yu."
There was a trace of inquiry in Lu Xinghe's expression. Qian shouldn't be his real last name, right?
Chu Yue didn't think much about it, she just smiled and said, "That's a nice name. You are recuperating here. In a few days, I will come and remove the stitches for you."
The boy looked at her clean and comfortable smile, feeling a good feeling in his heart for no reason, and his expression also softened, "We have to leave as soon as Zuoyi takes out the stitches. I just watched you take out the stitches, and I already know how to remove them. Then I can do it myself.”
Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Qian Yu is so smart, but although it is simple to remove the sutures, you have to be careful when removing them, and the tools must be kept clean. After removing the sutures, remember to smear the wound with white wine. It must not be used for at least three months. Do too strenuous exercise to prevent the wound from breaking."
Qian Yu kept Chu Yue's words in mind, nodded and said, "I remember them all."
Seeing this, Zuo Yi cupped his fists towards the two of them.
"I've been bothering you two these days. After my master and I settle down, I will send you the medical fees owed to you."
Lu Xinghe nodded, and then left the old house together with Chu Yue after pouring the water.
That night, Chu Yue had a dream. When she woke up, it was just dawn.
She sat up suddenly from the bed.
Lu Xinghe was awakened by Chu Yue's movements and sat up, "What's wrong? Are you dreaming?"
