"Sister Qingge, thank you! My father..."

"Ah? Oh, my little cousin, you misunderstood. My uncle's leg is not my fault."

Fang Qingge tried his best to defend himself after hearing this.

"Hehe, sister Qingge, I'm here to thank you for the pills. You've worked hard!"

After saying that, Shen Wenzhi shook the small oil-paper bag in his hand. Seeing Fang Qingge's expression as she tried hard to get rid of suspicion, he couldn't help but laugh, then he smiled and went into his room.

He had already guessed the fact that his parents were unwilling to admit.

It was Fang Qingge who cured Dad's leg. How could it be such a coincidence?!

At the same time, he regretted even more the suspicion and cold attitude he had towards Qingge.

**

The next morning, Fang Qingge took time out to tell Shen Wenzhi a few inspirational stories from ancient and modern times. As for the writing, Shen Wenzhi was allowed to express himself freely.

Then Fang Qingge asked her eldest cousin Shen Wendong, who was making the children laugh in the yard:

"Cousin, your bookstore only sells books and doesn't lend them out?"

"Sister Qingge, do you mean to lend out new books? Oh, no. The boss is worried that once the new books are lent out, they will become old books when they come back and they won't be able to be sold."

"Oh, cousin, you can make a suggestion. Let the shopkeeper compile the top-ranking papers of previous years and have them copied down for students to borrow. This big cake... no, this market is still very big."

Fang Qingge paused and almost uttered a modern word.

"Brother, what Sister Qingge said is right. If we can see the top-scoring papers of previous years and borrow and copy them, we will definitely flock to us."

Shen Wendong scratched his head. Although he didn't understand the students' enthusiasm, he was tempted by what his younger brother said, thinking that Qingge's idea could make the bookstore money.

"Okay, I'll talk to the boss when I get back. He has connections."

In the afternoon, the two brothers took a pile of pancakes rolled by Aunt Yu and left.

A few days later, Uncle Shen, whose leg was completely healed, took a few of his apprentices out to build houses for people.

**

As the days passed, Fang Qingge calculated that he had been here for more than a month.

It feels like time flies by so fast.

The burden of life was lifted at once, and Aunt Yu finally had some leisure time. Only five female soldiers, big and small, were left in the house.

Every afternoon,

Cui Liu coaxed the children to take a nap, and Aunt Yu took Fang Qingge to do some needlework in the corridor.

Every time they chatted, Aunt Yu would change the subject and say a few words about her guilt towards her youngest son.

"Alas! If Li Huniu had any good qualities, I wouldn't be so depressed.

We are sorry for your little cousin in this matter! But filial piety comes first, so your uncle and I can only swallow our anger and accept this marriage."

Aunt Yu sighed and her eyes turned red again.

"Aunt, what does that little cousin mean to this girl?"

"Ever since your cousin found out about this marriage and learned about Li Huniu's character, he has been trying to avoid her as much as possible, and he puts his studies first and doesn't want to see her.

Since Li Huniu couldn't see Zhi'er, she would come and make trouble from time to time when the men in our family were not at home.

I think these two are a pair of resentful lovers. My aunt feels sad when she thinks about it.

Fortunately, Li Huniu has just reached the age of marriage and has not come to ask for marriage. Alas! Qingge, what do you think is going on? "

"Aunt, since you know that you are a couple with grievances, can't you cancel the engagement?"

"I can't back off! This is a promise that Grandpa Zhier made with his life!"

"Aunt, don't think too much. Think of the good side of everything."

Fang Qingge put his arm around Aunt Yu's shoulders and comforted her softly.

Every family has its own problems! But she was even more curious about the vulgar and hot-tempered daughter-in-law that Aunt Yu mentioned.

**

Time flies. Uncle Shen, Shen Wendong and Shen Wenzhi have been away from home for half a month.

Early in the morning of that day, Aunt Yu's loud voice in the yard was heard in the west wing.

"Qingge, your aunt is going to the river to wash clothes. You and your sister-in-law should stay at home!"

Fang Qingge rubbed his eyes, got up from the bed and opened the door.

"Aunt, are you leaving so early? Wait a minute, I'll go too."

"It's getting late. Look at your face. You look thinner if you don't eat well. If you feel unwell, just stay at home and rest. Aunt, please come back soon. Your sister-in-law said we'll have pancakes for lunch."

Aunt Yu felt a little worried when she saw Fang Qingge, who looked listless.

Cui Liu, who was teasing her two daughters in the cradle, also took over the conversation and said:

"Qingge, why don't you stay home? Mother said that you will not be used to the simple meals we eat after you come here. Sister-in-law has made the dough early this morning, and I will roll some for you later."

"Sister-in-law, no need. I'll come back with my aunt after washing clothes to eat together!"

Fang Qingge was also secretly annoyed with himself for being in a bad mood. It felt like he had been in the ancient times for more than a month and a half, so why couldn't he adapt?

Even with this body, she still has to secretly take out refreshing and energy-replenishing nutrient solution from the space to drink every night!

She could only attribute her sometimes good and sometimes bad condition to the fact that her soul and the body of the original owner were not completely compatible. She was also a little worried.

Fang Qingge straightened her dress and walked out, closing the door. She took the large wooden basin from Aunt Yu's hand and said with a smile:

"Aunt, I'm fine. Sister-in-law can take care of the child alone. Let's go quickly?"

"Alright!"

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they carried the wash basin to the river at the west end of the village.

**

The clear river water flows down from the mountain, forming a jade-belt-like stream, slowly flowing through Qinghe Village.

There are many women washing clothes by the river today, joking and laughing, making it very lively.

"Aunt Yu, you guys are here too?

"Auntie, Qingge, come over here and wash!"

A few people who were on good terms with each other greeted each other.

"Okay! You guys are here really early."

Aunt Yu responded with a smile, and found a place with Qingge. She squatted down, took out the dirty clothes and started washing them.

"Qingge! If you have nothing to do, please come out and visit us more often. We are happy to listen to you!"

"That's right, Qingge, there are many young girls and wives in our village! Come to my house when you have time."

"Yeah, okay. I'll definitely go when I'm free."

Fang Qingge used soap nuts to wash the twins' clothes, and responded to everyone's enthusiastic invitations one by one.

"You seem to be so reserved, but I heard from your aunt that you know a little bit about medicine. Qingge, when we have time, can we wait for you to come and have a look?"

"Okay, I still know a little bit about minor problems."

Fang Qingge agreed with a smile, which made the women washing clothes by the river look at her with even more respect.

Everyone was happy and chatting and laughing, and the movements of washing clothes became easier.

*

Suddenly, a sour feeling of nausea came over Fang Qingge, causing him to drop the clothes in his hands and cover his mouth and nose with his hands.

"Ugh, ugh" the dry retching sound made everyone around stop washing clothes.

Fang Qingge's face turned pale, he pressed his hands hard against his chest and frowned tightly.
