The lady of a good match

Hearing this, Lin Xiu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Madam Xie, thank you Third Young Master."

Lin Xiu came here on foot, and he didn't dare to raise his stiff head after getting into Yan's carriage. He would answer every question Yan Qing and his wife asked. Yan Qing could feel that this poor and lowly couple had a very good relationship, but for some reason, Wei Shuhan's attitude towards Lin Xiu was a bit subtle, an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Along the way, when passing by the medical center, Yan Qing went down to invite the doctor in person, the doctor with white beard and hair got in the car and saw Lin Xiu, and he understood it, and asked about Han Donglin's condition without saying anything.

Approaching the suburbs, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard with only two low houses and one shed. The loess walls and wooden doors were very old, and it felt as if they could be blown down by a strong wind. After entering, Yan Qing finally knew what it meant. The real house has four walls, a miscellaneous room for storing sundries, a master bedroom for sleeping people, and a small shed as a kitchen, which is so simple that it makes people feel sad.

Lin Xiu and Lang Zhongchao walked forward, Wei Shuhan and Yan Qing were behind, Yan Qing took the opportunity to ask Wei Shuhan in a low voice:

"Shuhan, do you know Lin Xiu?"

From the moment he saw Lin Xiu, Wei Shuhan had a weird expression on his face.

Wei Shuhan shook his head:

"I don't know, I'm just a little surprised. How could a man with such a good manner marry a farmer in this kind of place, and he doesn't look like a native of Fusang City from the accent."

This was the first time he saw Lin Xiu in this life, and it was also the first time he knew that the environment he was in was like this, but his appearance and clothing could be rough, and a person's temperament was precipitated over time from childhood education, and it was difficult to change, Lin The temperament of Xiu's body is not what a farmer would have.

In his previous life, he still thought about which family Lin Xiu had to obey because of Yan Minghuan's despotic power.

Hearing this, Yan Qing thought for a while and sighed:

"Even if it's a male wife, with Lin Xiu's appearance and temperament, ordinary people can't afford to marry him... I guess he came here because of special circumstances."

Wei Shuhan's eyes darkened: "For example, was it bought?"

Yan Qing shook her head: "I don't know."

Such a good-looking person must be expensive, and it seems that Han Donglin's family can't afford it now, maybe it's a more special situation.

The two walked across the yard to the main house, and when they walked outside the door through the curtain, they heard severe coughing and hoarse reproaches from the man:

"Cough cough cough..."

"Xiu, don't borrow money from others, those people have bad intentions towards you cough cough cough..."

"They said that you have been going out to borrow money these days, don't go, I'm fine cough cough cough, just lie down for a few days, you return the money..."

"I don't want them to take advantage of you..."

"Cough cough..."

"Tsk, it seems that there is really something else hidden."

Wei Shuhan said something to himself, looked at Yan Qing and walked in.

The man lying on the bed was tall and tall, although he might not be very handsome, but his thick eyebrows and big eyes were well-proportioned, very masculine, and his dark skin looked very strong. Out is a strong man.

"Okay, don't worry, I didn't take those people's money, don't worry, I'm going to ask my benefactor for help this time, so don't talk to save yourself from coughing and suffering."

While feeding him water, Lin Xiu explained to him in a friendly voice, while the doctor took his pulse and asked about the symptoms, and began to write prescriptions while asking.

"Benefactor? What benefactor?"

After Han Donglin finished speaking, he happened to see Mrs. and Mrs. Yan Qing who lifted the curtain and walked in. He swallowed the rest of the words, and was stunned for a while and said:

"Young Master Yan, Young Madam..."

After finishing speaking, he struggled to get up, Lin Xiu supported him to lean against the head of the bed, and said with a smile:

"I went to find the third young master and young lady, they brought the doctor here."

"Lie down, there is no need to be polite."

Wei Shuhan pulled Yan Qing who wanted to go forward, went forward by himself, and asked the doctor to prescribe better medicine.

Yan Qing knew what Wei Shuhan meant, and he didn't let him approach because he was worried that he was weak, and Han Donglin was infected with wind and cold, which could be contagious.

Han Donglin looked at the young couple in front of him, immediately felt relieved, and said in a rough voice:

"Thank you young master and young lady for coming, I am very grateful, but there is no charcoal stove at home, I hope the two distinguished guests will not be offended, Xiu, go and pour a cup of hot water for the two distinguished guests..."

Yan Qing waved his hand at him:

"You don't need to greet us. If you feel uncomfortable, don't talk so much. Lin Xiu has already told us that you can rest assured to recover from your illness. Let's talk about what illnesses you get better."

Han Donglin nodded frequently when he heard the words: "Thank you, young master cough cough cough..."

"Look at you, stop talking..." Lin Xiu frowned and patted him on the back carefully.

Han Donglin covered his mouth with his hands: "I cough..."

"Let's go out first, please listen to the doctor's instructions."

Seeing that he still wanted to continue talking, Yan Qing had to pull Wei Shuhan out first, and stepped on the snow in the courtyard to carefully observe this shabby small courtyard.

After a while, Lin Xiu also came out, holding two cups of hot water:

"Drink some warm water, both of you. I'm really sorry for the poor hospitality."

The main reason is that there is nothing at home to entertain, and the New Year's Eve meal has been eaten hastily. This kind of big festival is meaningless to people like them.

"It's okay." Yan Qing smiled and shook his head, glanced at the place where the agricultural tools and sundries were kept and asked suddenly, "You just said that your husband is a carpenter?"

"Yes," Lin Xiu nodded, glanced around and said, "During the farming season, I will pick up some farm tools and do some handy work nearby, so I don't need to worry about the wooden farm tools at home."

Yan Qing nodded: "Well, it's also a craft..."

Lin Xiu nodded, and sighed after a while:

"Life was not so tight at first, but my mother was sick in bed for more than a year, and passed away two months ago. My husband and I paid off the debt we owed on credit for medical treatment and medicine for our mother. Now he is ill. It's quite difficult...and I'm a useless person who can't do a job that earns money."

Han Donglin refused to let him go out to find work, fearing that he would be bullied and wronged.

"I see."

Yan Qing understood that if a poor family had a long-term illness, life would be even worse.

Lin Xiu bowed and lowered his head: "So, today is the New Year's Eve and I shouldn't go to your house to disturb you, but I really have nowhere to go..."

Seeing his humble appearance, Yan Qing felt a little sorry, so she stepped forward and patted his arm:

"It's okay, you are also innocent people, live your life diligently, we will naturally help you with this favor."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wei Shuhan, Wei Shuhan stretched out the bank note that was ready to be held in front of him:

"You didn't say how much you want to borrow, here is 100 taels of silver, so take it first."

"Ah?" Lin Xiu was so surprised that he withdrew his outstretched hand, "I don't need to borrow so much, just 20 taels."

As long as Han Donglin's illness is cured and he is nourished, the husband and wife will get better in the coming year. We can't borrow too much money.

They still haven't paid off the 100 taels of silver notes for a year.

Yan Qing took the bank note and stuffed it directly into Lin Xiu's hand, saying solemnly:

"20 taels is enough to treat him. You know your current living conditions. How can you spend the winter without a charcoal stove? You just said that he was overworked and fell into the water just to earn some money. Is it possible that he will continue to do that when he recovers?"

"But..." Lin Xiu was still struggling, "It's too much, I'm worried that I won't be able to pay it off."

The land rent has not yet been paid, so he really dare not take such a large sum of money.

"You can work harder and do some work..." Yan Qing laughed, then looked at Wei Shuhan, "Madam, what do you think?"

Wei Shuhan guessed what he was going to do when he heard him ask about Han Donglin's carpenter just now, he pondered for a moment and said seriously:

"I heard from my mother that the tea garden and farm of the Yan family need to order a lot of farm tools every year during the planting season. How about this, the money will be used as the cost of the farm tools ordered by the Yan family with you. Lin Xiu, let Han Donglin come for the spring planting season If you come to me, the farm tools are well made, and money matters are easy to talk about.”

"This..." Lin Xiu's lips trembled slightly, apparently understanding what Wei Shuhan meant, and couldn't help but get excited.

thump—

Lin Xiu bent his legs and knelt down suddenly, and kowtowed to them with his hands on the ground: "Thank you two benefactors... Thank you."

Wei Shuhan looked inexplicably sad in his heart, who said that there is no unparalleled road, this humble person who knelt down at every turn probably knelt a lot in order to borrow money, he also went to nowhere for his lover in his previous life, and finally lost his doom.

Yan Qing hurriedly pulled him up: "Stand up, don't just kneel down... everything will be fine."

As he spoke, he put his purse into his hand:

"This is my wish. As my wife said, the money is not lent to you, but a deposit for farm tools with you. We trade fairly."

The money is nothing to them, and it doesn't matter if you give more, but the meaning is different. He can see that Lin Xiu and his wife are the kind of people with a lot of backbone. Teach him to fish.

"Okay, thank you young master and young lady for pointing out the way. The younger one and my husband are very grateful, and I will definitely not disappoint you."

Lin Xiu touched the swollen corners of his eyes and took a deep breath, tightening the money bag and banknotes in his hand, holding the money didn't feel as heavy as before.

Lin Xiu went back to the house, and came out with the doctor after a while. After taking the prescription, he could go to a nearby place to get the medicine. Yan Qing and the doctor got into the carriage and left.

Before leaving, Wei Shuhan finally couldn't help but said to the red-eyed Lin Xiu:

"If you still have any difficulties, come to Yan Mansion to find me and exchange your abilities. At no time should you try to solve the problem by betraying or hurting yourself. Will not kill myself."

Lin Xiu shrank his eyes, obviously understood Wei Shuhan's words, he pursed his mouth hard and bowed:

"Thank you young lady, I will remember."

It is said that after a person has survived a desperate situation, he will start to change his luck. I don’t know if this counts as that?He was about to give up, this time he went to Yan Mansion with his last hope, if not, he would have to exchange it with himself.
