Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with Xiao Xia? She runs a clothing store and earns clean money with her own hands. She and Xiao Shen are also in a clean relationship. She can't be more serious!"

Uncle Li cleared Xia Qingqing's name in a loud voice, saying that Aunt Wang was just jealous of Xiao Xia's good life. It was nonsense!

"Oh my, Uncle Li, you're kidding!" Sister Xu exclaimed, and everyone's attention was diverted.

Uncle Li took a closer look and found that he had won. He was so happy that he danced with joy and stretched out his hand to ask for money. The matter of Xia Qingqing was changed and no one mentioned it again.

Xia Qingqing and Shen Qiubai went to the notary office. Director Guo and his wife had already arrived. The couple looked well, especially Mao Chunlan, who looked much better.

"Come on, come in."

Director Guo smiled gently and still didn't say what was the matter.

"Can't we talk about it outside?" Xia Qingqing was even more confused and wanted to ask directly.

"You'll know once you get in. It's no big deal. It'll be done quickly."

Mao Chunlan's voice was very gentle and she smiled slightly. Xia Qingqing's wariness was dispelled a lot by her smile, and she followed her in.

Director Guo walked to the service window, took out a few sheets of paper from his briefcase, and handed them in. "We are all here."

"Qingqing, come here!"

Mao Chunlan took Xia Qingqing to the window, and the three of them stood side by side. The staff at the window looked at them and said seriously, "All three of you must sign and put your fingerprints on it."

Xia Qingqing had a question mark on her face?

What to sign?

Director Guo handed the three agreements to her, and the couple looked at her with a smile.

When Xia Qingqing saw the first line of the agreement, her eyes widened. It turned out to be a gift agreement. She hurried to read the text. Her heart beat faster. This couple was actually going to give her a villa.

She didn't look closely and thought it was the house where Director Guo and his wife lived.

"I can't have it. I won't sign it."

Xia Qingqing refused. She only wanted to use Director Guo and his wife, not to help them, so she was not qualified to accept the house.

"Qingqing, let's go over there and talk."

Mao Chunlan's gentle voice was very contagious, and Xia Qingqing followed her unconsciously to an empty corner.

"Please accept it. This is a thank-you gift from my husband and me. We probably won't be returning to China again. Instead of selling this house to someone we don't know, it's better to give it to you. You will definitely take good care of this house, right?" Mao Chunlan said with a smile.

"I didn't do anything, so I can't accept it. Don't be so confident. You may want to return home in a few years. You can keep this house. I can help you find someone to take care of it."

Xia Qingqing understood what Mao Chunlan meant, but she really couldn't accept this thank-you gift; it was too heavy.

Moreover, this couple has gone abroad and their future is uncertain. They may return to China in a few years. Where will they live if they lose their house?

Mao Chunlan smiled and said softly, "We have a smaller house. I'd like to trouble you to hire someone to clean it. Youmei grew up there, and there are beautiful memories of our family of three. Lao Guo and I want to keep this house forever."

Xia Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then she read the gift agreement carefully. Then she realized that the gift was another house, not the one where Director Guo and his wife lived. But she couldn't accept it.

"It's fine for me to help you hire someone, but I really can't take this house. I won't accept the reward without any merit!"

"Little note!"

Mao Chunlan smiled slyly.

Xia Qingqing remained calm and pretended not to understand. She would never admit it.

"Take it. If you really feel bad, you can pay for someone to clean the house in the future. It would be even better if you could take some photos of the house and send them to us from time to time." Mao Chunlan said with a smile.

She admired Xia Qingqing even more in her heart. This girl was smart, courageous, and particularly alert. If Youmei had half of Xia Qingqing's ability, perhaps she would not have...

Mao Chunlan felt a pain in her heart. It was all her fault. She only taught Youmei to be kind, but didn't teach her how to survive in this difficult world. It was all her fault.

Her heart was aching more and more, the color disappeared from her face, and she pressed her chest hard to breathe.

"Mr. Mao? I'll go get you some water!"

Xia Qingqing poured water for the staff, and Director Guo also ran over and fed his wife some heart-saving medicine.

"It's okay, I'm much better."

Mao Chunlan's face was pale and she leaned weakly on her husband. Her health was getting worse and worse, and she didn't know how long she could stay with her husband.

She was not afraid of death, but she was worried that if she died, how would her husband survive alone?

"Teacher Mao, drink some water!"

Xia Qingqing came over with a glass of boiled water, in which she had added half a drop of spiritual liquid.

"Thank you."

Mao Chunlan was indeed a little thirsty, and she slowly drank a glass of water. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after drinking the water, she felt much better, and her chest didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore, as if it had suddenly been unblocked.

"Let's go to the hospital."

Director Guo was worried because his wife had been ill more and more frequently recently. He had been to all the major hospitals in Shanghai, but there was no good treatment. A big part of the reason he went abroad was to take his wife for treatment.

He has lost his daughter, and he and his wife are left to depend on each other. He will do his best to cure his wife.

"No, I'm much better."

Mao Chunlan shook her head. She was really well. She felt no discomfort at all and looked more energetic than usual.

Director Guo saw that she looked rosy and in very good condition, so he did not mention the hospital again.

Mao Chunlan brought up the house again, but Xia Qingqing still refused.

"Take it. I heard from Xiao Shen that you are a good doctor. I would like to ask you to treat my wife. The house can be regarded as the medical fee." Director Guo changed his words.

In fact, he didn't think that Xia Qingqing, who was so young, could have good medical skills. He just wanted to find a reason to let Xia Qingqing accept the house.

Guo Huai clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. He will repay kindness as well as revenge. Since Xia Qingqing helped him, he must be grateful.

Xia Qingqing hesitated. She could indeed cure Mao Chunlan. She just needed her to take the pills she prescribed.

"When are you going abroad?" she asked.

"Three days later."

Xia Qingqing knew that Director Guo asked her to treat the patient just out of courtesy. The patient would be gone in three days, and another doctor would definitely not be able to cure the patient.

But she can.

"I can sign. This house will be used as medical expenses. I promise to cure Teacher Mao's health." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

Director Guo and his wife also smiled and said that it would be fine as long as they were willing to accept the house.

They signed and waited for the staff to stamp it before going to the Housing Authority to transfer the ownership. With Shen Qiubai driving, the timing was just right, and they completed the procedures before the Housing Authority closed at noon.

"Let's have dinner together." Shen Qiubai said.

Director Guo and his wife had no objection. They had put their worries to rest and planned to take some photos of the Shanghai scenery in the next three days and take them abroad as a souvenir.

They found a state-owned restaurant nearby, and before the dishes were served, Xia Qingqing suggested taking Mao Chunlan's pulse.

Mao Chunlan's pulse was very weak. Not only did she have heart problems, but all her internal organs were not in good condition. This was caused by excessive worry. Xia Qingqing took Director Guo's pulse again, and his health was not very good either. He must have damaged his foundation on the farm.
