314 Good Feelings
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
Xue Sifu continued, “From what I saw this afternoon, he probably came to see how our business and workshop were doing. He probably thinks that our family has struck it rich and wants a share of it. He would definitely want to bask in the glory, but he knows that his mother wouldn’t want to acknowledge her daughter as part of the family anymore, so he thought of this method to send her over. Otherwise, why else would Mother go back?”
“Grandma and the others are taking things too far!” Xue Wufu immediately cursed, he was extremely angry with the new news.
“It’s not like they only went overboard today!” Xue Erfu was not in a good mood either.
“Alright, let’s not go!” Xue Sifu said. “Let Xue Yan and Jiang Yue go. They’re smart and will know how to solve this problem. Let’s just do what we have to do and not bother with those people.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu immediately went back up the mountain to continue working with Li Qingshu and the others.
Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Xue Wuhu hurriedly returned to the courtyard to continue making the rice noodles.
Yu Hongyan also quickly turned around and continued to help dry the rice noodles.
Xue Sifu raised his eyebrows and looked at his two precious children.
“They didn’t even ask any questions? Amazing!”
His family didn’t ask anything and trusted him wholeheartedly. Of course, he felt good about this.
Xue Yan laughed while Jiang Yue smiled.
Compared to the rest of the family, Xue Sifu understood them the most.
“Alright, you guys go quickly. Don’t let Mother suffer. Their house isn’t that far away.”
Xue Sifu moved the things from the ox cart into the courtyard while urging the two precious children to hurry.
“Wait for me, I need to go get something,” Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan.
After a while, Xue Yan saw Jiang Yue bring back the silver needles that Shen Yuxuan gave her the last time. She wrapped them in a cloth and kept them in her arms calmly.
“If she’s seriously ill, she should be treated no matter what.” Jiang Yue said without much emotion.
“Ahem.” Xue Yan put his fist to his mouth and coughed, not letting himself laugh.
Although Liu Village wasn’t as close as Chen Village, it wasn’t that far either. After Chen Village, it was Liu Village.
Before the two of them reached Liu Guisheng’s door, they heard Liu Guixia’s anxious cries. “Mother! What’s going on!”
There were a few people gathered at the entrance of Liu Guisheng’s courtyard. They were chattering non-stop, and the whole scene felt strange. “Two hours ago, she was acting fine, why is she sick all of a sudden now? Is it really bad enough for Guixia to come back crying…”
Liu Guisheng’s son was afraid that Liu Guixia would hear them, so he quickly came out and shouted, “What are you all doing at my door? Do you have nothing to do?”
The few of them immediately dispersed.
Liu Guisheng’s son didn’t notice Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s arrival. When he saw that the few people had dispersed and no one was surrounding their door anymore, he turned around and went back to his room.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before they continued to walk forward into the courtyard of Liu Guisheng’s house.
Liu Guisheng’s courtyard was also surrounded by a fence, but there was no courtyard door. When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan entered, Liu Guisheng’s daughter-in-law, who was standing at the door of the central room, realized that they had arrived. She wanted to greet them warmly but then realized that her Grandma was seriously ill and was about to die. She quickly put on a sad and heavy look, “You must be Cue Yan and Jiang Yue, right? Come in quickly and go see your Grandma. She might not be staying for long.”
Then, she covered her face and pretended to cry.
Liu Guisheng’s daughter-in-law married into this family last year. She had never seen Xue Yan and Jiang Yue before, but she had briefly seen them when Jiang Yue and the others were digging raspberries in this area. Therefore, she could recognize them without any introduction.
