Chen Qingshan ate with his head down, but secretly praised in his heart: His wife has a way out! A woman who might be looking for death and survival was actually calmed down by her daughter-in-law's few words.
After the meal was over, the two young ones quietly slipped away under the leadership of Qiao Xiaofu. Chen Qingshan went to buy a pot for the exploded lotus vat and replace it. Qiao Chu sent the woman back to her shop.
Entering a familiar place, thinking that there was another person's breath here, the woman's tears fell again.
Qiao Chu became irritated when he saw her crying: "Okay, okay, don't cry yet. Let me ask you, what are you going to do?"
"I...I don't know either." The woman was indeed at a loss, with a swollen face. Madam Dongfang had just straightened her hair and her clothes, but she still looked embarrassed.
Qiao Chu looked at the woman like this and sighed: "What's your name?"
"My name is Xiuxiu, Cui Xiuxiu."
"You two, what's going on? Can you tell me?"
Cui Xiuxiu then talked about the two people.
Cui Xiuxiu's father was a doctor who practiced medicine for wealthy families in the capital. He was quite famous. However, he only gave birth to a girl named Xiuxiu. He usually walked around the wealthy families and sometimes met ladies who wanted to see a doctor.
etc., I will also bring Xiuxiu with me and ask her to help, which is more convenient.
Because Xiuxiu has a good temperament and can cooperate well with her father, the ladies and ladies also like her very much. They always ask her in private if she has any good recipes for skin care.
Xiuxiu often studied some Chinese herbal skin care formulas, and made various skin care ointments, lip balms, etc. for ladies and ladies in various families, and the results were good.
As a result, the ladies from various families preferred to deal with Xiuxiu.
Brother Ye's mother and sister also had frequent dealings with Xiuxiu, and gained a lot of support from Xiuxiu.
But this relationship came to an abrupt end after Brother Ye fell in love with Xiuxiu.
A young man from a wealthy family naturally has to consider a well-matched wife when marrying him. To them, Xiuxiu is just a peasant girl. What qualifications do she have to marry a young man from their family?!
Not even worthy of being a concubine!
So Brother Ye's mother warned Xiuxiu and did not allow Xiuxiu to come to the house again.
It was also the first time that Cui Xiuxiu knew the true thoughts of these noble ladies: On the surface they were affectionate, but in their hearts they did not really think highly of themselves.
At this time, Xiu Xiu's father suddenly fell ill and died soon after.
Xiuxiu had no relatives in the capital, so she decided to give up, but Brother Ye was unwilling to give up, so he kept entangled in various ways, and finally kidnapped Xiuxiu and ran away with him.
In fact, since arriving in this small town of Xing'an County, Xiuxiu has been busy making various ointments and selling them. Brother Ye, who has never touched Yangchun water since he was a child, really knows nothing but only
Eat ready-made.
However, after being full of water, Xiuxiu felt: It doesn't matter if you are a little tired, as long as two people are together and as long as you work hard enough, you will definitely live a happy life...
But who knows... It's better now, Huang Liang Meng has woken up.
After hearing this, Qiao Chu reached out and rubbed her temples irritably: So this matter between men and women is the most annoying!
Looking at the little girl whose face was stained with tears because of recalling the past, Qiao Chu waved her hand: "Xiu Xiu... Oh! Come here, I will take care of the injury on your face first."
With the surge of spiritual power, Qiao Chu eliminated seven or eight percent of the bruises on Cui Xiuxiu's face, and then asked her to wash up and change clothes: there were many footprints on the skirt.
After Xiuxiu had tidied up and sat down across from Qiao Chu with trepidation, Qiao Chu stretched out her hand again: "Come here."
"Oh." Xiuxiu pulled the stool over and sat down in shock: Why did she think this Qiao Chu was more majestic than Brother Ye's mother?
There is always an illusion that what you say is right.
Obviously this Qiao Chu is just a country girl who has just entered the city!
Qiao Chu reached over and took hold of one of Xiuxiu's arms. Her spiritual power surged and she began to examine Xiu Xiu's whole body.
There's nothing wrong with the bones. I think those people were afraid of killing someone in public, so they didn't do it too harshly.
There are bruises on the muscles in several places. This kind of injury needs to be healed.
But the abdomen...
After Qiao Chu confirmed again in astonishment, she looked at Cui Xiuxiu with a different look: "You are pregnant."
When Cui Xiuxiu heard this, she was stunned, as if struck by lightning: "What did you say?"
"You are pregnant." Qiao Chu replied affirmatively again.
"Are you planning to give birth or something?" Qiao Chu retracted her hand and looked serious.
People's lives are at stake, and Qiao Chu will never help in making a move. She can't afford this kind of cause and effect.
Xiuxiu was stunned, sitting there with her hands on her abdomen, her face changing expression.
Obviously, she was thinking about it.
Qiao Chu didn't urge him, he just looked around boredly.
The yard was very clean, and there were two pieces of men's clothes hanging to dry on the bamboo poles nearby. Unfortunately, the owners of these clothes had already left the county town.
"I...I want to give birth." Cui Xiuxiu's voice was not loud, but it still surprised Qiao Chu!
"You want to give birth?! Why?" Qiao Chu stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes, looking at the gentle and delicate appearance, but his eyes were full of determination.
"Brother Ye and I eloped, and we became husband and wife, and we made a big fuss in the county... Even serious people would look down on me, and I wouldn't be happy to be a concubine or a mistress... From now on, I
If you don't get married anymore, give birth to a child, and you will lead this child and live together for the rest of your life." Cui Xiuxiu's words were unhurried, but loud and clear.
"...Then how do you feed him?" Qiao Chu pointed at Cui Xiuxiu's belly.
"I can make ointments and powders, and I'm pretty good at it. I've been doing it all these days. I've already opened up sales and got many repeat customers, but today..."
With Brother Ye's mother making such a fuss today, Cui Xiuxiu's reputation has become bad in Xing'an County. For the sake of their own reputation, those ladies will not dare to go shopping anymore...
Cui Xiuxiu thought for a while and looked at Qiao Chu: "Can you partner with me?"
"Ah? Me? Partner?" Qiao Chu pointed at his nose, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
"Yes. From now on, this shop will be yours. I am just making ointment for you. I am not the owner of this shop. If others come to the shop to buy things, they are coming to your house to buy things... This way they will not be jealous of me.
It's a problem of bad reputation. Just give me some money so that I can support my children." Cui Xiuxiu said, her hand unconsciously placed on her belly.
Qiao Chu sighed: It turns out that women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong!
However, Qiao Chu was not good at doing business. She stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I don't understand this very well. I'll call someone to talk to you."
Cui Xiuxiu watched Qiao Chu leave in shock, wondering who she would call? Mrs. Dongfang?
Cui Xiuxiu had heard from Brother Ye that Mr. Dongfang was a great scholar of the generation, and His Majesty had ordered that he be invited to become the Crown Prince and Tutor... If Mrs. Dongfang was willing to come, wouldn't those ladies and ladies flock to her?!
However, when Cui Xiuxiu saw the person sitting in front of her who was about to discuss business, she fell into deep thought...
