After the Republic of China

Chapter 2 Deception
Uncle Geng's family was rescued by Monk Jiyuan when they were fleeing the war.

Now, his son and daughter have grown up and secretly participated in the revolution.

Uncle Geng and Aunt Geng stayed in the house bought by Monk Jiyuan, guarding the door and helping Luo Congbai with some private affairs.

Aunt Geng's body was the root cause of her illness when she fled in the early years. Thanks to the stability of her life in these years, and the help of monks from the medicine hall of Daming Temple, she has survived until now.

However, as she got older, her health became worse and worse. If she couldn't find a cure, it would hinder her lifespan.

The prescription that Shao Yunshi worries about today is exactly for Aunt Geng.

After listening to Xiaodong's words, Shao Yunshi sighed: "I'm definitely going to go again, but I'm not sure about the next prescription."

Is there something that the senior sister can't do?Xiaodong is convinced of the ability of senior sister and medical medicine.

Hearing these words, she said anxiously: "Then what can be done about Aunt Geng's illness?"

Seeing Xiaodong so anxious, Shao Yunshi couldn't help but look sideways, "Since when have you cared so much about others?"

After being told by the senior sister, Xiaodong said a little shyly: "Aunt Geng is not someone else."

Xiaodong's father died young, and she was oppressed by the tribe along with her mother, and developed a cold-hearted temperament, which has only gotten better in recent years.

Therefore, she can't see others treating her well.

Shao Yunshi ignored Xiaodong's muttering, picked up the prescription on the table again, and began to examine it carefully.

Seeing her senior sister looking at the prescription again, Xiaodong couldn't help asking: "Is this the prescription for Aunt Geng?"

Shao Yunshi cast a sidelong glance at her, and said, "You'd better be a needleworker when you're free. You haven't done any of the embroidery samples the master gave you."

Xiaodong's mother, Zhou Qin, is Shao Yunshi's sewing master and also a bodyguard.

She also guards her only daughter very strictly, and she won't let her steal even if she's lazy.

When Xiaodong heard this, he was afraid that his senior sister would arrange for him to embroider directly, so he flinched.

Shao Yunshi snorted coldly when she saw her mouse-like appearance.

Xiaodong glanced at Senior Sister, Gulu rolled his eyes, and deliberately changed the subject, "Seeing that the year is coming to an end, Senior Sister, will this year's free clinic still be held?"

"Didn't you say that Big Brother Luo hasn't come back yet?" Shao Yunshi frowned as she wanted.

Today, Xiaodong went to Uncle Geng's to deliver something, and by the way, asked Luo Congbo about the free clinic.

After all, Luo Congbai has always helped to arrange this matter, even if he has no time, he will arrange it well.

Speaking of this, Xiaodong shook his head and said: "Uncle Geng also mentioned this, he told us not to worry?"

Shao Yunshi frowned and said: "What are we in a hurry for? Our free clinic is just for people who are close and familiar to see common problems. What's the matter if it's delayed for a day or two."

Xiaodong thought about it, really, the senior sister doesn't like to show her face, and it's impossible for her family to ask her to show her face.

People who see people are all acquaintances brought by Brother Luo.

To put it bluntly, this free clinic is for the senior sister to practice.

but?Xiaodong frowned and said, "We don't have much time to spare. If Brother Luo comes back later, I'm afraid Senior Sister won't be able to get out."

Shao Yunshi shook her head with a smile, "We stay at home all day, so we have plenty of time."

Thinking about those people in the main courtyard, Xiaodong became impatient, "Brother Luo, why did you come back so many days late this year? Could it be that he was blocked outside because of the riots?"

Shao Yunshi knew something about Luo Congbai.

After hearing Xiaodong's words, she didn't say much, and just ordered in a low voice, "Don't mention this in advance, let's prepare the medicine for the free clinic first, and then we will see Brother Luo's arrangement."

It can only be like this, Xiaodong nodded.

Just in time, the big girl Ximei came back, so Xiaodong put aside his previous affairs and went to look for her.

As soon as she lifted the curtain and went out, she shouted, "Huh? Ximei, why did you bring back so much embroidery thread?"

Shao Yunshi frowned when she heard the bluffing outside, she simply put down the prescription and left the refining room.

Seeing her coming out, the two people got up quickly.

Shao Yunshi waved her hand, looked at the pile of cloth and thread on the wooden couch, and raised her eyebrows, "Why did you bring back so much? When did those women become so generous?"

"Shh..." Xiaodong looked coldly, "They are called Dafang, I'm afraid they are cooperating with us to bully us."

Ximei was also worried, rubbing her frozen hands, and said distressedly: "When I picked out the embroidery thread, the warehouse mother forced it."

"Forced?" Shao Yunshi didn't know why.

Xi Mei glanced at the young lady, "It is said that the old lady ordered the young lady to make more pouches for the Chinese New Year."

"So—" Shao Yunshi frowned.

"Heh, how much can I use for Chinese New Year?" Xiaodong was very annoyed, "Besides, there are not many sewing women in the courtyard, so all the work is left to the senior sister."

Ximei was also very angry, "That's not what you said, isn't this an obvious bully?"

Xiaodong glared at her, "You are a spineless one, if you want me, just throw them a face."

Xi Mei felt a little regretful, and said angrily: "The mother said, this is what the old lady ordered, what can I do."

Xiaodong choked and had nothing to say.

Shao Yunshi sneered, "The old lady doesn't care about this, I'm afraid some people won't see me idle."

"What? Miss, these pouches are ordered by Aunt Bai." Xi Mei couldn't believe it, "How dare this woman..."

"Why don't you dare? This Bai family has given birth to a brother, who is the only brother of the Shao family, so he has developed his courage a long time ago." Xiaodong sneered disdainfully when he saw the infighting between the families.

Xi Mei frowned, "Could it be that they aren't afraid that the young lady will ask the old lady?"

Seeing her being so naive, Xiaodong couldn't help laughing, "The people below are so weird. Seeing that the young master is growing up day by day, this family will not belong to the Bai family in the future. Don't worry about it now, wait until later?"

"That's what you said, okay?" Xi Mei didn't know how to say it.

Xiaodong glanced at Ximei in disbelief, "Besides, can Senior Sister question the old lady for a few purse handkerchiefs?"

"But……"

"But what's the matter? Ximei, you're just a no-brainer." Xiaodong spat directly and bluntly.

"you--"

"Okay, stop arguing." Shao Yunshi rubbed her eyebrows irritably.

After being called out by the lady, the two of them still kept their mouths shut.

In the cold winter now, the shadows of the trees outside the window are especially cold.

Shao Yunshi pushed a cup of tea to Ximei who was shivering from the cold.

Xi Mei took the young lady's tea, came back to life, and said discouragedly: "The women just sent satin earlier, it's not easy to make a suit of clothes, how can young lady have time to do other work?"

Xiaodong looked at Ximei speechlessly, and scolded with a smile: "You idiot, they dare to assign jobs privately, and we really obeyed their wishes?"

"Ah?" Xi Mei opened her mouth wide.
