Splendid lovesickness

Mu Xuan's clear eyes were stained with deep sorrow, she finally hid her emotions and said with a smile, "Don't think so much, help me pull out the weeds first. The yard is in such a mess, I don’t even know how to come and help.”

Qing Lan responded with her mouth, but her body didn't move.He said suddenly, "Sister, these things you brought are too ostentatious. You go and see if there are any valuable jewelry and small things and put them away as soon as possible, so as not to be divided by those debt collectors."

Mu Xuan looked at Qing Lan suspiciously, Qing Lan put away her casual expression, and said with a headache, "Our family owes a lot of debts. Four groups of people came here yesterday, all asking for debts. Back then, Dad received them through RBI. The construction project of Pingkangfang, I thought it was a treasure, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong in the acceptance of the project, and the Ministry of Industry has been delaying the settlement of the bill because of this. Those debt collection foremen came again and again. You wait Look, before tonight, the things you brought back will be divided up, and I don't know if there is enough."

Sure enough, as Qing Lan expected, a bunch of people came to the house in the evening.Mu Xuan couldn't bear her father's embarrassment, so she had to hand over the property to her father to sell and pay off the debt.

After the property that Mu Xuan brought back was sold, in addition to repaying the debt, if it could save some money, it would also allow the family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.Mu Xuan and Madam Wu do needlework and embroidery work from time to time to exchange for money to subsidize the family.

"Sister, do you still remember Cousin Yiqing?" Qing Lan asked.

As soon as Xie Yiqing was mentioned, a thin and gentle boy appeared in front of Mu Xuan's eyes.After my uncle passed away, my aunt took Xie Yiqing back to her hometown, and the two lost contact.She also heard intermittently from her mother that her aunt was weak and sick, and the life of Xie's family fell into embarrassment for a time. After her mother died of illness, there was no news of him again.

Unexpectedly, the person who treated her wounds at Pei's house was actually Cousin Yiqing, the young man has changed so much, after so many years, she did not recognize him.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xuan put down the zipper in her hand and raised her head to ask.

"The year before you got married, my cousin came to visit my father and wife."

Mu Xuan was surprised, "I didn't know when my cousin came to Nanchu."

Qing Lan looked at her and sighed, "Of course you don't know. At that time, the eldest lady was seriously ill, my father went out again, and my cousin was dismissed by my mother in a few words."

Mu Xuan looked at Qing Lan thoughtfully, Qing Lan smiled and said, "Cousin Xie is now a famous doctor in Southern Chu, he cured Princess Liang's stubborn illness last year, and now all the dignitaries in the capital are going to him for treatment .His clinic is crowded with people like going to a market every day, and there is a long queue. I went to the street two days ago, and he saw me and asked me about you."

Mu Xuan looked at the newly planted kapok tree in the yard, and asked with a sigh, "How is everything going now, cousin?" A gentle, caring, kind-hearted person like Xie Yiqing probably already has children around his knees by now.Thinking about how time flies, the boy who was the chief character back then has become an adult.

"Sister, he hasn't married yet. I think he seems to be interested in you, and he still asks me about you."

Mu Xuan was startled, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense, children. We haven't seen each other for many years. After all, we are relatives and we have known each other since childhood. It is not unusual to ask you."

Mu Qinglan snorted, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm already fifteen, and I still think of me as a child. My brother-in-law went out to do business by himself at the age of 15."

Qing Lan was used to calling Pei Zhan's brother-in-law long and short, but forgot to change it.When Pei Zhan was mentioned, both of them were a little stunned.Qing Lan said awkwardly, "Sister, I have something to do outside, I'm going out first." After finishing speaking, she slipped away.
