The general's wife knows medicine

Zeng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Peipei.

"Going away? Where to?"

"I haven't decided where to go yet, but I think we'll go towards the capital."

"Then how long will it take you to come back?" Zeng Xiuyuan didn't know what was going on, and in his heart he didn't want Tang Peipei to answer this question.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you come back." Zeng Xiuyuan forced a smile.

"Brother Zeng, we don't know when we will come back, or maybe we won't come back at all." Tang Peipei had to interrupt his fantasy.

After all, Nanny Yuan was right. There was no possibility for them. If she really wanted her to be a concubine, Zeng Xiuyuan was not the one she wanted.

Knowing that it is impossible, it is better to forget each other than to keep the fantasy.

"Pei Pei." Zeng Xiuyuan took a step closer to Tang Pei Pei, "Can you tell me why?"

"Brother Zeng, we are not suitable." Tang Peipei knew that Zeng Xiuyuan was feeling upset at the moment, and so was she. But she had to be rational and not be overwhelmed by love, otherwise she would have no chance to regret it later.

"How do you know it's not suitable without even trying it?" Zeng Xiuyuan was a little angry.

"Brother Zeng, do we still need to try? Will my aunt agree to let you marry me?" Tang Peipei looked at Zeng Xiuyuan with an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat on her face.

Zeng Xiuyuan looked at Tang Peipei with a dazed expression, which was similar to an expression that Chen Xiangshi had.

Yes, wasn't it this unyielding attitude that made her come to him? It was also this unyielding mentality that made him feel good about her and fall in love with her. Now, does he want her to give up herself just to fulfill him?

Zeng Xiuyuan took a step back and smiled bitterly towards the sky. It seemed that they were really not suitable for each other.

"Sorry, I……"

Seeing him like this, Tang Peipei knew that Zeng Xiuyuan had figured it out.

"Brother Zeng, you didn't do me any wrong, it's just that we met at the wrong time."

Zeng Xiuyuan looked at the red plum blossoms all over the mountain and said, "I thought the red plum blossoms were in bloom, so I brought you here to enjoy them. I didn't expect... should I ask someone to take you back?"

"Yeah." Tang Peipei took another look at Hongmei and left without looking back.

Sitting in the carriage, Tang Peipei thought about the red plum blossoms all over the mountain and the person she loved. She slowly built a cenotaph in her heart and buried her first love.

Yes, first love. In her previous life, Tang Peipei had no time to fall in love. Unexpectedly, the first time she fell in love with someone in these two lives, it ended in vain.

After Tang Peipei returned home, she worked hard on drawing, hoping to complete the goal before the New Year.

You have to prepare things after the New Year and set off when the weather gets warmer.

Since returning from that trip, Tang Peipei has never seen Zeng Xiuyuan again, and even this month's bonus was handed over to Manager Qi.

I heard that Zeng Xiuyuan went to the county town and never came back.

On the day of Laba Festival, Tang Peipei and her mother went to the market early in the morning and bought ingredients for cooking Laba porridge.

Nanny Yuan took little Tuanzi to look after the house.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Nanny Yuan opened the door and saw that it was Tang Yan and Liu Qingcheng.

"Madam Yuan, are Peipei and my aunt at home?" Tang Yan handed over the things in her hand.

"They went out to buy things. Please come in and sit down." Nanny Yuan invited them into the house.

Little Dumpling was sitting in the yard playing with toys.

Tang Yan walked forward and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown a lot stronger, little one!" Then she looked at Nanny Yuan who was standing beside her.

In the past few months, Tang Peipei has been eating well, sleeping well, and the quality of her milk has improved, and the little one has also gained weight.

"Yes, he has grown stronger. In the past few months, Lu Rong often made chicken soup and fish soup for Peipei. Peipei eats well, so naturally, the little dumpling has grown stronger too." Nanny Yuan looked at the little dumpling and smiled with satisfaction.

When we first arrived at Tang Peipei's house, Tang Peipei was very thin and little Tuanzi was also very small and looked extremely pitiful.

Now the little girl is fair and tender, with a pair of big sparkling eyes, and is very cute.

Tang Yan knew that Tang Peipei and Zeng Xiuyuan were doing business together, and she came here today just for this matter. She didn't expect that this business would be so profitable.

They can actually eat chicken often, which is much better than their lives.

At this time, Tang Peipei and her mother also came back from outside.

I was a little surprised to see the two people in the yard.

"Sister, why is my brother-in-law here?" Tang Peipei asked.

Tang Yan was a little embarrassed, "Peipei, are you back?"

Tang Peipei could tell from Tang Yan's expression that she must have something to ask her. Could it be that Liu Qingcheng was not doing well in Zeng Xiuyuan's factory?

Tang Peipei used the excuse of talking about private matters to pull Tang Yan to her room.

"Sister, what's the matter with you coming here today?" Tang Peipei didn't like beating around the bush. After pulling Tang Yan to sit down, she asked directly.

"This, this..." Tang Yan felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister, what's there to be ashamed of regarding this between us sisters? Is it that my brother-in-law is not doing a good job at Brother Zeng's dyeing workshop?" Tang Peipei expressed her guess.

"No, in theory, he has a very good job in Mr. Zeng's dyeing workshop. He gets paid 500 coins a month, which is several times more than what he earned as a hard worker before." Tang Yan said.

Tang Peipei heard what she meant and understood what she was thinking. Is she not satisfied with the salary now?

Tang Peipei didn't say anything, waiting for her next words. If the request was reasonable, she would help if she could, but if it was an unreasonable request, she naturally could not agree to it.

Seeing that Tang Peipei didn't say anything, Tang Yan continued, "Peipei, I..." and then she started crying.

This is going to be very difficult for Tang Peipei.

"Sister, don't cry. What's going on? Tell me and see if I can help you." Tang Peipei handed Tang Yan a handkerchief.

Tang Yan took over, "My mother-in-law is sick, so we took her to the town clinic, but the people there said they couldn't cure her and we had to go to the county." Tang Yan paused, "So we took my mother-in-law to the county, and the doctor there said her illness is difficult to cure, and she needs acupuncture and moxibustion every day, and she can't stop taking medicine every day, and it costs at least one or two taels of silver a month. How can we cure her? But Qingcheng is my mother-in-law's only son, and she worked hard to raise him. How can we bear to let her suffer from illness every day?"

"But, at this time, I, I am pregnant. I don't know what to do! Peipei, what should I do?"

Tang Peipei was also very sad. She knew that if it was really as Tang Yan said, Liu Qingcheng's mother's disease would be difficult to cure, and a large sum of money would be needed at this critical juncture.

In addition, Tang Yan is pregnant. You have to know that Tang Yan and Liu Qingcheng have been married for three years, and there has been no movement in her belly. She didn't expect that she would be pregnant at this time. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Sister, do you take aunt to the county town every day now?" You should know that it takes more than an hour to walk from Tangjia Village to the county town.

Tang Yan shook her head. "We don't have much money, so we took some medicine home to make it for my mother-in-law. So, we came to you today to ask you to help us."

It turned out that he just wanted to borrow money. Tang Peipei felt relieved.

He turned around, fumbled around on the bedside, and took out a purse.

"Here is fifty taels. Take it first, sister. Tell me if you need anything later." Tang Peipei handed the purse to Tang Yan.

Tang Yan didn't expect that she only wanted to borrow ten taels, but before she even said anything, Tang Peipei actually gave her fifty taels.
