Chapter 313 Party

"That's true. How about this, I will go out early that day and stay in the medicine shop until after dark. That way, there will only be you women in the house, and you will feel more comfortable." Xu Feng said. Fu Yuehe's friends were mostly unmarried women, so he should avoid them.

Fu Yuehe nodded with a smile on her face.

……

Coincidentally, on the day of the party, Xu Feng met someone he hadn't seen for a long time in the pharmacy.

"Aunt, how come you have time to come here today? Did Biyu cause you trouble?" When Wenxiang saw the visitor, he immediately walked out of the counter and entertained the other person warmly.

"No, she is very well-behaved, don't worry, Brother Xiang." Although Aunt Zhou's face was still a little haggard, her eyes were not as empty and lifeless as before, as if she was a body without a soul, and now she had more spirit.

After exchanging a few words with Wenxiang, Aunt Zhou came up to Xu Feng.

"Manager Xu, thank you for always letting me buy on credit. I really don't have anything valuable at home. These two paintings were the most precious things of my son when he was alive. I originally wanted to keep them with him as a reminder..." Aunt Zhou looked at the two scrolls in her hands with a nostalgic look. Those were the most precious things her son had when he was alive, and even she, as his mother, would not let him touch them.

"If you don't mind, I'll use this to pay off the debt!" Aunt Zhou sighed. She knew that the owner of the medicine shop was kind-hearted, and she also knew that Wenxiang would guarantee her. Even if she couldn't pay the money in the future, Wenxiang would pay it back for her. But she couldn't accept it so comfortably. After thinking about it, she could only take these two paintings.

Xu Feng and Wen Xiang looked at each other, but still took the scroll.

Both scrolls were spotless, and clearly carefully preserved. Each scroll was tied with three red strings, which made it difficult to open. However, the paper felt like top-quality material. Regardless of the quality of the paintings, the paper alone would be worth some money in a pawnshop. No wonder Aunt Zhou took this out to pay off her debt.

"Since it is something your son treasures, it must be a fine product. And my wife also happens to love painting, so I will accept it for the time being." Xu Feng said calmly while stroking his beard.

He never asked for the debt, and since Aunt Zhou came to him on her own initiative, she must have made up her mind. Even if he refused to accept the money, she probably wouldn't agree, so it would be better to be straightforward.

"Mrs. Zhou, you'd better recover your health as soon as possible. I will take good care of these two paintings. If you have enough money in the future, you can come to the pharmacy to redeem them at any time." Xu Feng then gave the other party hope.

Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up when she heard this. She nodded gratefully towards Xu Feng, then said a few more words to Wen Xiang and left the pharmacy.

"Aunt Zhou's complexion has improved a lot, and she is no longer so lifeless. What? Did you really do as I asked and find her a child?" Xu Feng asked.

Wen Xiang nodded, his face full of admiration for Xu Feng.

"Where did you find this person?"

"There is a charity church in Shangxian Town that specializes in adopting helpless elderly people and orphans." Wen Xiang explained. As long as the person is a local and has a clean family background, he or she can be adopted.

Xu Feng nodded in understanding. Places like the Salesian Hall are usually better when they are first established. Later, they can only ensure that the people inside don't starve to death. After all, they rely on donations from wealthy merchants to maintain expenses. Most of the children inside are pale and thin. They sell themselves to wealthy families as servants, but no one wants them. Generally speaking, the Salesian Hall is eager for someone to adopt a child, after all, it means one less mouth to feed.

……

On the other side, Fu Yuehe and Miss Su Ying warmly entertained four friends in the mansion. The girls were quite familiar with each other, and there were not so many rules to follow. After having tea and snacks, the two girls naturally led the four people to stroll around the mansion.

The scenery in the courtyard was naturally not as good as that of the big families that had been entrenched in the local area for more than a hundred years. However, the two girls had carefully decorated it according to their own wishes when they first moved in. But after all, money and energy were limited. The four of them felt it was a bit novel at first, but soon felt a little bored.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the study where the two girls were writing their storybooks.

The four visiting girls were naturally amazed by such a huge and uniquely decorated study room, and they looked around curiously.

"Huh? These are all manuscripts? What are you doing..." Xiao Ruoxue, the daughter of the Xiao family, asked in surprise when she saw the manuscript paper on the desk.

As she read the contents carefully, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Are you writing your own storybook?!" The other three also gathered around curiously.

Fu Yuehe and Miss Su Ying nodded somewhat embarrassedly. Since they had already decided to hold this party, the two girls did not intend to continue hiding the matter.

"Yueying Xinglan? This signature sounds a bit familiar." Li Xi from the Li family frowned and said naively.

"What?!" Ji Yanshuang and Yin Ziyue exclaimed in surprise and quickly took the manuscript from Li Xi.

"The book of rebirth of grudges was written by you two?" The four girls looked at the two girls in shock.

Fu Yuehe and Miss Su Ying's faces became a little embarrassed again. You know, they first met in a bookstore. Later, the stories they wrote fermented for a period of time and became popular. The four of them had discussed it in front of them many times.

"Well, you two have really kept it a secret from us." Yin Ziyue came to the two girls angrily.

The other three women also looked at the two of them with extremely passionate, even excited, eyes.

"Tell me the truth, what else do we not know?"

"No, in fact, this is the first time we two have tried to make money by writing storybooks since we came to Xiaxian Town." Fu Yuehe said quickly.

"Is it true?" Yin Ziyue's tone was drawn out, his eyes full of doubt.

"Wow, are these paintings all drawn by Sister Yuehe?" Li Xi is the youngest of the six girls and also the most innocent one.

At this time, she found Fu Yuehe's spare time paintings in the study.

In a picture of sunset, the dim light spreads all over the earth, dyeing the mountains, rivers and land golden.

"I once picked up a beam of light and returned it to the sun at sunset. I knew that it was not my sun, but for a moment, the sun did shine on me!" Li Xi murmured to himself and read out the inscription of the painting.

Xiao Ruoxue also picked up a painting. It was a snow scene, with white snow and a person standing alone at the end of a stone bridge with an umbrella. The painting also had an inscription.

"When she looked at the snow that day, she never looked at me, and I never looked at the snow!"

Both of them were a little dazed, mumbling to themselves foolishly.

Ji Yanshuang discovered another pile of paintings.

"Um, don't move!" Fu Yuehe's expression changed for the first time when she saw Ji Yanshuang's actions, and she immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Ji Yanshuang wouldn't listen and immediately uncovered the painting.

"Huh? They're all the same person." Yin Ziyue also came over and looked at the paintings.

"Yuehe, you actually painted so many portraits of the same man. Could it be that he is your ideal man?" she joked.

"No, he is my husband!" Fu Yuehe snatched the painting back from the two men and said with a blushing face.
