Chapter Four Hundred and Ten: Mother and Child Love
"Cough...cough..." There was an intermittent coughing sound coming from the room.
His voice was very weak, and one could tell that he was someone who had been ill for a long time.
In fact, when Qiao Rui said that he would bring everyone here, Shuangxi no longer suspected that he was making up a story to deceive people. If it was a lie, how dare he really bring people home.
Qiao Rui opened the door, walked in first, and then said to his mother: "Mom, there are guests at home."
The woman was a polite person, so she said at this time: "Who is here? Please come in quickly." Following this voice, the sound of her getting out of bed was heard.
Shuangxi hurriedly walked a few steps, entered the room, and said to the woman: "If you are sick, don't get out of bed."
While talking, Shuangxi looked at Mrs. Qiao's wife. The woman in front of her was only in her twenties. Her face was pale and she was quite delicate. She was wearing a man's old clothes. Although she was sick, she was still doing it.
Clean.
Shuangxi felt quite fond of this woman.
At the same time, Mrs. Qiao's wife also looked at Shuangxi. When she saw that the little girl in front of her was very beautiful and had a bearing that was not like that of an ordinary girl, she immediately became defensive. She originally thought that it was the girl she had made good friends with.
Someone came over to one or two houses in the house, and I didn't expect it to be such a woman.
Why would such a woman come to their home?
There was nothing worth worrying about in their family. At this moment, the woman suddenly glanced at Qiao Rui and felt awe-struck in her heart. Could this be for her children?
Then his tone became cold: "Qiao Rui, come here."
After saying that, he stood up from the bed and blocked Qiao Rui behind him.
Then he looked at Shuangxi defensively and asked: "I wonder what this girl is doing here in my humble abode? If you have Xiao Rui's intention, please leave quickly!"
Xiaorui is very handsome at a young age. Last time, he was attracted by a small restaurant owner!
This had to make Mrs. Qiao's wife feel defensive.
Shuangxi knew that this lady from the Qiao family was worried about protecting her son, so she was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled and explained: "I didn't mean anything else, it's just that Qiao Rui's filial piety towards you moved me very much.
Only then did I wonder if there was anything I could do to help."
Shuangxi's words didn't seem to be hypocritical, which made Mrs. Qiao slightly let go of her worries, but even so, Mrs. Qiao didn't completely relax her vigilance.
Madam Qiao frowned and asked, "How do you know Xiao Rui?"
Seeing Qiao's wife asking about this, Shuangxi felt a little embarrassed and glanced at Qiao Rui. Qiao Rui's eyes seemed to be full of pleading.
She knew that she couldn't tell this mother when Qiao Rui stole things.
Seeing that Shuangxi was hesitating and unable to explain, Mrs. Qiao's face immediately turned cold. Although her voice was weak, she said firmly: "Girl, please come back. You are not welcome here."
.”
Seeing that his mother was about to take over this kind-hearted eldest sister and drive him away, Qiao Rui became anxious. If this sister left, his mother would continue to take off her clothes due to her illness.
So the child gritted his teeth, walked out, knelt on the ground, and said to his mother, "Mom, don't drive this sister away."
Without pausing, he continued: "Mom... I stole... something and was caught... This kind-hearted sister saved me." It was difficult for him to say this. He knew that if he told the truth,
If you tell me, his mother will be very disappointed.
But because of his mother's illness, he had no choice...
Sure enough, after listening to Qiao Rui's words, Mrs. Qiao's face turned cold, and then she asked sharply: "Qiao Rui! You really want to make my mother angry to death. Do you still remember what my mother taught you?"
Qiao Rui did something wrong and was scolded by his mother. He did not refute, but lowered his head and whispered: "My mother said that people who are poor cannot be poor because of their ambition. We must always remember that we are from the Qiao family."
people!"
"What is the group training of the Qiao family? Ahem..." The wife of the Qiao family may have used too much strength, and her face turned pale at this time, and she couldn't help coughing violently.
Shuangxi wanted to say something, but she was a little powerless. As a mother teaching her son, it was not her turn as an outsider to intervene.
What's more, this mother still instills a correct outlook on life into her children.
When Qiao Rui saw his mother coughing, he became anxious and called out: "Mom..." There was deep worry in his tone.
"Group training!" Although Mrs. Qiao's face was pale, she still said loudly.
"The way I conduct myself on a daily basis, I don't make any mistakes when I'm a prostitute, I don't indulge in wanton banquets, I don't use my power to bully others, and I don't..." When Qiao Rui said this, he lowered his head in shame.
Madam Qiao continued in a deep voice: "There is no fault of banditry or fraud!"
Qiao Rui lowered his head, not daring to look at his mother.
After saying this, Mrs. Qiao no longer looked at Qiao Rui, but said to Shuangxi: "Girl, I have wrongly blamed you. Don't argue with me."
Mrs. Qiao's wife was so angry that her illness had begun to attack. As soon as she finished speaking, her body swayed and she fell onto the bed behind her.
When Qiao Rui saw that his mother had fallen, she quickly stood up and cried to help her: "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? It's time to speak!"
Shuangxi also panicked at this time and hurriedly shouted to the outside of the yard: "Someone is coming quickly."
As soon as Shuangxi spoke, the three men filed in. Because there was a woman in this house, and it was not easy for them to enter, so they stood outside the yard and waited.
After entering the house, several men naturally saw the woman. They were outside just now and listened to what was said inside the house. Naturally, they knew why Shuangxi was calling someone.
Quanzi walked over, took a look at the woman, and then said: "The breathing is quite stable, but... if she doesn't get treated, I don't think she will have much time left." Quanzi is a martial arts practitioner. Although he is not a doctor, after all,
He is also stronger than ordinary people and can easily distinguish between life and death.
Qiao Rui felt reassured when he saw this handsome older brother saying that his mother's aura was still stable, but what he said next made Qiao Rui a little unable to bear it.
He quickly turned over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Shuangxi and others: "I know my request is a bit excessive, but I still ask you to save my mother. I will repay you like a cow and a horse in the future, and I will do whatever you ask me...
"
This child's filial piety towards his mother really moved several people.
Shuangxi nodded gently and helped the child up.
Shuangxi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Qiao Rui, where is your father?"
Qiao Rui said: "My father is working in the Wang family and can't come back."
Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief. This child still had a father. He was just a grown man. How could he let his wife and daughter live such a miserable life?
Qiao Rui seemed to have guessed Shuang Xi's doubts, so he lowered his head and said sadly: "Dad signed a death contract with the palace in order to treat my mother's illness. He only had a few copper coins a month...even my mother's medicine.
Money is not enough."
Shuangxi asked about Qiao Rui's family background, and thought of taking the mother and son back for treatment for a period of time. If they were left outside the city, they would give money to the doctor. The doctor seemed to be from a poor family, so he might not be dedicated to them.
However, after hearing that Qiao Rui's father was working in the palace, Shuangxi had another plan in mind.
Seeing that the wife of the Qiao family was ill, she seemed to be unable to delay it. She didn't have time to explain it in detail, so she directly told the men that she had to take the person back home first.
Perhaps it was because this woman had a family. This time, these men did not object to Shuangxi taking her back.
Quanzi immediately went to the city, hired a carriage, and asked the driver to take Mrs. Qiao's wife into the carriage, and then the group headed for Xifu.
When she arrived at the house, Shuangxi invited the doctor to give her some medicine. It was not a serious illness, just an ordinary cold illness. It was because it had been delayed for too long that it tortured a young woman like this."
When Mrs. Qiao woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed, and she immediately panicked.
"Mom, you're awake." The young Qiao Rui quickly brought medicine to his mother.
"Where is this?" Shuangxi was also in the room at the moment and explained with a smile: "You can stay at our house for a few days. We happen to lack someone to take care of us. If you don't mind, just stay at our house.
.”
Shuangxi knew that this strong mother might not be willing to accept gifts from others for no reason, so she said this.
As for...the matter of leaving them behind, it comes from the bottom of my heart. No maids or servants are allowed in this house, but some things really need some people to take care of them, so Shuangxi thought
The mother and son were left behind.
At that time, Qiao Rui's father will be removed from the palace, and the family of three will stay at home to take care of these trivial matters...
In this way, no one will gossip, right?
It's just... I don't know if this lady from the Qiao family is willing.
Seeing Shuangxi say this, Mrs. Qiao's wife looked very struggling and kept looking at Qiao Rui.
Shuangxi added: "Don't think too much. I'm not asking you to sign a contract of betrayal. You are just treated as a long-term employee. If Qiao Rui... wants to get a degree or something, it's not a bad idea to help recommend him."
Mrs. Qiao's wife was overjoyed and was about to get up from the bed: "It's rare for a girl to take in my frail body. I'm really grateful."
Shuangxi nodded with satisfaction. This was a man who knew how to be grateful. He quickly pressed her down on the bed and said, "Don't get up. It won't be too late to pay attention to these formal etiquettes after your illness is cured."
Shuangxi didn't tell the mother and son about bringing Qiao Rui's father over. Firstly... she didn't know if she could successfully recruit someone from the Wang family, and secondly... she didn't know the nature of this Qiao family's wife.
, it’s better to get to know it for a while, otherwise it will be like inviting a wolf into the house. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
