Chapter 5: Is this fate?

March 22, 2023Ai Hrist

During the conversation, Shi Qingluo found that Mrs. Kong was kind-hearted and not fussy, and she was an easy-going person.

Sister Xiao Baili was shy, docile, and industrious.

Although Xiao Hanyi was only eight years old, he was very sensible. He was completely different from the modern eight-year-old brat.

Shi Qingluo was born into a wealthy family. Her parents were married, each had her career, she was given the best education, and the money was generous, but they had little time to accompany her.

So she has developed a self-reliant and strong temperament since she was a child.

If she meets a strong mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she probably won’t be able to get along with them.

The Xiao Family was good, she can protect them, and they can have someone to rely on.

She just doesn’t know what the unconscious Xiao Hanzheng was like.

Judging from the words of Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi, he should be a person who protects his weaknesses and has a sense of responsibility.

Otherwise, he would go to the capital with his rich father. However, he broke off from his paternal family, follow his poor mother, and take care of his younger siblings.

She thought for a while and said: “When I was in the Taoist temple, my master made a special medicine for reducing fever.”

“If you don’t mind, I can help Xiao Xiucai take a look and give it a try.”

After the conversation just now, Mrs. Kong also knew that Shi Qingluo was a girl from the Shi family who lived in the Taoist temple with that old immortal master since she was a child, and was almost married to be buried.

Although she has a soft temper, her intuition was very accurate. She felt Shi Qingluo has good intentions.

She must be strong if she can make the family voluntarily withdraw from the marriage.

Besides, the doctor visited her first son in the morning, he said she better be mentally prepared. If the high fever doesn’t go down, he might not wake up, and he might not live long.

Now that Shi Qingluo has the medicine concocted by the old immortal master, she can’t help but feel a kind of hope, as if she wants to grab the last straw.

“I believe it, I believe you.”

“I beg you to take a look and help my eldest son. If he can wake up from the fever, I can repay you like a cow or a horse.”

Mrs. Kong wanted to kneel to Shi Qingluo as she spoke, which shows that she was willing to do anything for her son and has a loving heart.

Shi Qingluo hurriedly stopped her: “Don’t be like this, I’ll take a look first.”

Although she had the idea of marrying in, if that Xiao Xiucai didn’t suit her eyes, or was too ugly, she still wouldn’t consider it.

After all, although she was eager to marry herself out of the Shi Family so that she can start a career, she still has requirements, and she has face control.

She followed Mrs. Kong into a room. When she looked at the person on the bed, her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The person on the bed with his eyes tightly closed looked like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

He has fair skin, regular facial features, and good looks.

At this time, his face was a little red from fever, which added a bit of color.

His appearance was completely based on Shi Qingluo’s aesthetic point.

Visually, he was not short in height, except for being thinner, he was a beautiful boy.

Shi Qingluo didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to look so good.

She reached out and touched the other person’s forehead. It was very hot, probably over 39 degrees.

“He’s got a high fever, it’s not good if this goes on.”

She pulled back her hand and said to Mrs. Kong: “My medicine should work for him, do you want to try it?”

Mrs. Kong nodded without hesitation, “I want to try.”

They can’t do anything about it right now, her son was almost burning to death, but they have no money to buy medicine, so they might as well give it a go.

Shi Qingluo nodded: “Okay, go and pour half a bowl of warm water, and I’ll give him the medicine.”

Mrs. Kong immediately asked her daughter to fetch water.

Shi Qingluo reached out to her sleeve and took out a piece of a powerful fever-reducing medicine. She took it from space.

Just now when she was changing clothes, Mrs. Kong was out, so she thought that this medicine was taken out by Shi Qingluo when she was changing clothes just now.

At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng was already unconscious and unable to swallow, so when the water arrived, Shi Qingluo crushed the medicine into powder and put it in the water to dissolve.

Then let Xiao’s mother support Xiao Hanzheng to feed him. After all, this was ancient times, she have to pay attention to the defense between men and women.

After the medicine was given, the mother and daughter of the Xiao family had a kind of expectation.

Shi Qingluo left a few more anti-inflammatory medicines and a fever-reducing medicine and asked Mrs. Kong to give the anti-inflammatory medicines every once in a while.

If he has a fever again, give the fever-reducing medicine again. If you don’t have a fever, don’t feed it.

Mrs. Kong kept thanking her.

Shi Qingluo remembered that she still had to catch fish, otherwise it would be difficult to catch when it was getting late.

The washed clothes were still hanging in the yard, so she said that she goes out to catch fish first.

When Xiao Hanyi heard that she was going to catch fish, he couldn’t help but want to follow.

His sister Xiao Baili rubbed his legs just now, and the pain was no longer there.

Shi Qingluo liked this child very much, so she took him with her.

Her son almost drowns, so Mrs. Kong agrees.

When they arrived by the river, Shi Qingluo picked up a sharp branch, rolled up her trousers, and walked down the river.

After a while, several fish were caught.

Xiao Hanyi’s eyes were particularly bright when he saw this, and while helping to catch the fish, he said excitedly: “Sister is so amazing.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said confidently: “Of course!”

After the two caught five fish, they returned to Xiao Family’s house with the wooden bucket.

There was a carriage parked in front of the Xiao Family’s house at this time.

The two of them had just reached the gate of the yard when Mrs. Kong’s miserable cry came from inside.

“No, please don’t take Baili away, she won’t marry.”

This time, Xiao Baili’s cry sounded: “Auntie, I don’t want to marry, please let me go.”

A bitter, vicious voice said, “Hey, you don’t know what is good or bad. The Wu Family in the county town is wealthy, and it is your blessing to marry into their family.”

“She is from our Xiao family. The old lady decides to let her marry, and she has to marry. It’s useless for you bitch to stop her.”

Followed by Mrs. Kong’s desperate and angry voice, “Ah, I will fight you.”

As soon as Shi Qingluo and the two pushed open the courtyard door, they saw Mrs. Kong rushing towards a robust woman.

The robust woman and another middle-aged woman dragged Xiao Baili one by one.

And there were still a few people standing in the yard. It just so happened that Shi Qingluo also knew the old mama of the Wu family who almost took her away last time.

At the same time, she also felt very speechless. Could this be fate?

She resigned from her marriage, and instead of marrying to be buried with Wu Family, she was replaced by the younger sister of the Xiao family and was forcibly arrested… …

Mrs. Kong knocked the robust woman down, and she fell to the ground herself.

“You bastard, you’re getting brave ah. Let’s see if I don’t give you some color.”

The robust woman’s face looked so ugly when she got up from the ground and rushed over. Then she sat on top of Mrs. Kong to beat her.

Who knew that as soon as the hand was raised, before it fell on Mrs. Kong’s face, someone grabbed her arm from behind?

She turned her head to see a strange little girl, and she was dressed as a villager.

So she frowned and said fiercely: “Who are you? Mind your own business, or I will beat you together.”

When Mrs. Kong saw Shi Qingluo appeared, she took the initiative to hold the robust woman, Mrs. Wang, feeling very nervous at the moment.

Her sister-in-law was a well-known shrew in the village. She can be very vicious when she swears and beats others. She doesn’t want to implicate the little girl in being beaten.

So she hurriedly looked at Mrs. Wang and said: “She was just passing by, if you want to hit me, hit me, it’s none of her business.”
