Mrs. Shi quickly sat down and patted the man on the back: "I've been taking this new medicine for several days, but it doesn't work at all..."

Before she finished taking the photo, a pale boy suddenly coughed violently on the small bed next to the man's bed.

Mrs. Shi turned around skillfully and patted the young man with her other hand.

"Mom..." The young man's eyes showed deep guilt and pain.

If you are not sick, you can help your mother share the burden and support your father together.

Mrs. Shi took one look and knew what her son was thinking. She suddenly stopped her hand, returned to the things she had brought back, and took out a wooden box with a box of sand in it.

"Ming'an, look what this is."

Bai Ming'an looked at the things his mother brought over and wondered what they meant, but his attention was diverted: "Mom, what is this?"

Mrs. Shi smiled lovingly and said, "You've always wanted to learn to write. Mom found this for you. From now on, with a wooden stick, your dad can teach you to read in the sandbox."

When Bai Ming'an heard this, his originally dark eyes seemed to suddenly grow bright.

Bai Rui, who was on the side, also coughed and praised: "This is a good idea. Our Ming'an is a scholar. Hehe... we can't delay it. He will definitely be able to obtain fame in the future."

But the light in Bai Ming'an's eyes seemed to be blown by the wind, swaying unsteadily: "Father, mother, can I really get fame with a body like mine?"

Mrs. Shi looked at her son distressedly: "Yes, why not? Don't worry, Ming'an. Mom will definitely find Doctor Ji to heal your father and you. By then, you will not fall behind in your studies and you will definitely be able to take the imperial examination. If If you can't pass the exam, at least you can read and do business, and you can lead our Bai family forward slowly."

"Yes, Ming'an, I'm not afraid even at my old age. What are you afraid of? Divine Doctor Ji will definitely be able to cure us when he returns from his travels." Bai Rui also comforted his son.

Gradually, the light in the young man's eyes completely stabilized and no longer wavered. Looking at the ordinary sandbox, he couldn't put it down as if he were looking at a treasure.

Mrs. Shi breathed a sigh of relief, her face gradually showed a bit of fatigue, but she was in good spirits: "Today, Grandma Liu gave me a few more pennies and introduced me to new jobs. Let me do it in the future." Spinning cotton brings higher wages.”

Bai Rui seemed to have remembered something, and sighed: "The cloth made by our Bai family's cloth shop was famous in the entire Holy Capital back then, and the craftsmanship is unmatched by others... If I had put more thought into it back then, I would have remembered it more. I will come back and teach you how to avoid letting these coarse cloths scratch your hands."

Disappointment also flashed across Mrs. Shi's face.

She came in too late and before she even started to get involved in the family business, the Bai family suddenly suffered a disaster and plummeted. Not long after, her father-in-law couldn't bear the blow and passed away. The next day, her mother-in-law couldn't bear it and left with him.

At that time, my husband was not interested in business and only focused on studying. Once the family collapsed, the sidelines swarmed in like man-eating beasts, fighting to tear the flesh from the Bai family, leaving my husband with a huge debt in the end.

Not long after the eldest aunt helped them, something like that happened to her husband's family and she was driven to the countryside. Within a few years, her life was gone.

In the past, no one in the Holy City knew about Baijia Cloth Village. Now, when it is mentioned to young people, how many people know about it? It is really different from the past.

Mrs. Shi no longer thinks about the past.

The past is just the past after all, people have to move forward.

"Husband, it would be great if you could teach me how to spin and keep our family from going hungry... By the way, I heard something else today... The Shen family just picked up a young lady from Jiujiang Pass. It is said that she is the daughter given birth to by the previous lady... her name is changed to Nan Nan, she is now sixteen years old, husband, do you think she is the eldest sister's daughter?"

Bai Rui was stunned for a moment. For a moment, the expression on his face changed unpredictably. Sometimes he was surprised, and sometimes he was happy: "Eldest sister still has blood in the world?"

Mrs. Shi didn't know either. In all these years, she had never known that her eldest sister had given birth to a daughter in Jiujiang Pass.

The Shen family had hidden this from them for so many years!

When Mrs. Shi thought of the Shen family, she frowned in disgust: "I heard the rumors outside that she is probably the eldest sister's bloodline, but husband, the Shen family kicked the eldest sister out for that reason, how could they treat their niece now?" good!"

After listening to her analysis, Bai Rui calmed down and snorted: "Shen Wanghai is a despicable person!"

Bai Mingan next to him also understood. For the first time, he knew that he had a sister who was related by blood.

When he was young, when his family was still wealthy, he was childlike and asked his parents why they couldn't give him a sister. As he grew up, he gradually became more sensible and even felt disappointed about this.

He really wants a sister.

Unexpectedly, he really has a sister in this world.

Due to years of illness, he has been unable to get out of bed in recent months. If not, he really wanted to go and see for himself what that sister looked like, whether she was tall or short, fat or thin, Not pretty.

Even if she wasn't beautiful, she was still Bai Ming'an's sister.

"Mom, can we contact my sister?" Bai Ming'an asked expectantly.

Madam Shi's face was not as relaxed as his: "The Shen family has long looked down on our Bai family. When they were first in decline, they wouldn't even let them in, let alone now..."

As if remembering the humiliation he suffered back then, Bai Rui clenched his fists involuntarily, and there were sickly veins on the back of his hands.

After a while, he slowly relaxed: "You have to go even if you are not allowed to go. That is the only bloodline of the eldest sister. The eldest sister helped us so much, but we failed to protect her. Now, no matter how humiliated she is by the Shen family, We have to go and take a look, we can’t let my eldest sister’s only bloodline be insulted by the Shen family!”

Mrs. Shi nodded slowly: "If my niece has a good life in the Shen family, then that's it. We won't disturb her. If her life is not good, no matter what, we cannot let her stay in the Shen family and be bullied."

The Shen family, that's a place for eating people.

Therefore, Mrs. Shi is worried about her niece's life.

"Madam, I will go to the Shen family with you. If they don't let us in, we will make trouble outside and let everyone in the Holy City see what the Shen family is doing. There is no reason why we should not let our uncle and niece meet. .”

Bai Ming'an also nodded vigorously: "Mom, I'll go too!"

He really wanted to see his sister quickly.

Looking at the excited father and son, Mrs. Shi couldn't help but smile, patting this one and then that one: "Don't worry, after all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and the whole family is going now, so why not?" I know what Nan Nan will think, so I’ll go and check the situation first..."
