Chapter 172 The Poor Girl Climbing High Branches Thirteen Two in One
The most important thing for Chu Yunli when he came back this time was to visit Qi Xiaotao. Now that he can take him away with him, there is no need to stay.
The manager was quite happy to receive the compensation.
Let's put it this way, he asked for them at the original price, and these things were not new, but he could use the money he got to buy new ones. Therefore, he did not blame the sisters and even wanted to help them change them.
One room.
"No, we will leave later." Chu Yunli turned to look at Qi Xiaotao: "Your condition cannot be delayed."
Qi Xiaotao doesn't think her illness can be cured, but she really wants to stay away from this town. She spent the first half of her life here, and she only hopes to be truly comfortable in the remaining days.
She didn't want to be well fed and clothed, and she was happy as long as there were no Tian family members around.
Dongxue was packing her luggage, while Chu Yunli was sitting in the lobby below, waiting to get the dry food prepared by the waiter.
Qi Xiaotao was very excited and wished she could run around on the street a few times, but she knew that as soon as the news of severing ties with the Tian family came out, many people would definitely come to inquire. She was unwilling to deal with those people, so she stayed upstairs.
Help Dongxue.
It was also at this time that Chu Yunli saw an acquaintance coming to the door.
Qi Dachang and his wife came, holding a child in their arms.
Compared with the fat and white child that Chu Yunli raised in Zhou Mansion, the one in their arms was a bit unattractive. He was dark and thin, and his face was dirty, drooling, and there was even a runny nose.
Traces of rubbing on the face.
"Little sister, why don't you go home when you come back?" Qi Dachang walked into the house, as if the previous disputes had never happened, and said with a smile: "If I hadn't heard the lady next door talking about your coming back, I still wouldn't know
.”
Qi Xiaotao, who was upstairs, heard the commotion below, and her heart suddenly rose. It could be said that her whole life was ruined in the hands of this brother. Without time to think about it, she hurried downstairs.
When they stepped down the wooden stairs, there was a lot of movement due to their age and disrepair. When the couple looked up, they saw Qi Xiaotao who had changed her clothes.
The two looked at each other, they still didn't know what had just happened.
"Xiao Tao, why are you here?" Qi Dachang's tone was sour when he asked this question. Ever since his sister went to the Zhou Mansion, he has not taken any advantage. Qi Xiaotao still left behind a set of clothes after all... Besides,
, these two sisters have a good relationship, maybe they get more in private.
Qi Xiaotao stood in front of Chu Yunli: "My little sister is here to pick me up. If you don't go back this time, we will leave later. My sister is very busy and the child is waiting for her to go back to take care of. You guys go home first and wait.
When we are free, our sisters will come back to visit."
She desperately wanted to send the couple away, fearing that they would embarrass her sister.
Just at this moment, Chu Yunli poked his head out from her waist: "Sister said something wrong. Even if I am free in the future, I will not return to the village."
Qi Dachang: "..."
He looked puzzled: "Little sister, you can have a good life now because of my help. Why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't want to mention those plans you have against me!" Chu Yunli saw Dongxue coming down with two bags, and the boy had already put the dry food on the carriage, and reached out to pull Qi Xiaotao out.
When passing Qi Dachang and his wife, Chu Yunli didn't look sideways, as if they were just two strangers.
Qi Dachang was unwilling to give in: "Little sister! You are ungrateful, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?"
Qi Xiaotao was a little nervous.
Let's just laugh at poverty but not at prostitution. Although some people look down upon Qi Dachang for sending his sister as a concubine, Qi Xiaomei has indeed lived a good life because of it. If she really doesn't care about her mother's family, maybe some people will really scold her.
Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "I won't come back here in the future. It doesn't matter what they say. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."
Qi Dachang: "..."
You can't hear it, so you pretend not to know the accusations from outsiders?
However, this is correct. Qi Xiaomei lives in the city all year round and does not meet the people in the town. There is no need to worry about who she is in their eyes.
As the carriage was moving, Qi Dachang wanted to step forward to entangle him, but two women stopped him.
The couple chased for a few steps, but couldn't outrun the carriage. Seeing that they were thrown away, Chu Yunli asked the coachman to stop again, and then said to the people on the roadside: "Qi Dachang sold our sisters for money, and now we see
I'm living a good life, but he wants to take advantage of me. I'd rather not have such a bastard brother. From now on, I'm done with him, and everything he does has nothing to do with me. By the way, I'll take my sister.
, she has already signed a divorce agreement with the Tian family, and she has nothing to do with it no matter what the Tian family is. Could you please help a few ladies tell this to prevent anyone from being deceived by them."
While he was talking, Qi Dachang, who was behind him, saw the carriage stop and hurriedly chased after him.
Unfortunately, the carriage had already disappeared at the end of the street before I had even taken two steps to pursue him.
On the way to the city, Qi Xiaotao was tired and excited. She didn't sleep well last night and was groggy all the way.
When they arrived in the city, it was almost dusk. Chu Yunli did not delay at all. He asked two women to find out where the people in the city lived, went straight to their door, and quickly settled on a hotel not far from the Yamen.
Small courtyard.
"Sister, you stay here first, and I will help you find a famous doctor later." Chu Yunli gave her some scattered silver and emphasized: "You must drink the medicine I brought."
Qi Xiaotao took the silver and looked at the small courtyard, feeling her heart extremely hot.
This is close to the Yamen, and no one dares to have evil intentions here. Chu Yunli also plans to find someone to accompany her when she is free.
Chu Yunli returned to Zhou's house before it got dark.
After entering the door, I first went to find Mrs. Zhou.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Mrs. Zhou didn't say much: "Go back quickly and take a look at the child. It's better not to spend the night outside in the future."
Chu Yunli responded in a low voice.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her back and said: "You are here today only because of good luck and don't have the intention to harm others. Otherwise, everything you have now will be lost!"
Hearing that Aunt Yao in the backyard was pregnant, Mrs. Zhou warned her not to attack other pregnant women.
Not to mention that Chu Yunli didn't have that leisurely mind, and she didn't know how to deal with pregnant people.
Zhou Yilin didn't care about her returning to her parents' home, but he didn't like it when she went to beg her mother. He was her pillow, her god, she could just beg him. She would rather stay away from him, but in the final analysis, she still refused to get close to him!
Therefore, when he learned that the person was coming back, he deliberately did not come over.
With such neglect and the fact that other women were pregnant, many people in the Zhou family secretly said that Aunt Zhou had fallen out of favor.
Chu Yunli had already subdued the nanny, and it was only for one night. The child was no different from before, except that he was a little clingy to her.
The wet nurse raises the children in this yard every day, but there is still a difference between the presence and absence of the aunt. When the aunt is not here, she is always thinking about it. Now that she is back, she is much more relaxed, and the smile on her face is a little more real.
, couldn't help but said a few more words: "Brother Kang had a high fever yesterday, and Aunt Yu was so anxious that she didn't sleep all night."
Weak children are prone to getting sick. It is actually quite dangerous for such a young child to have a high fever...
Chu Yunli asked casually: "Which doctor are you looking for?"
"Doctor Li stayed for half a night, but the fever didn't go away. Later, he invited Dr. Yang from outside." The wet nurse sighed: "When the child is sick, everyone around him suffers, so wet nurse Cao was punished and kicked out, and then
We have found a nanny Li."
Having said this, she was a little glad that she followed Aunt Zhou.
After coming here for so long, the child has never been sick once, and my aunt likes to take care of the children herself, so it is really worry-free.
Chu Yunli was also a little speechless. Even if the nanny did not take care of her well and she wanted to get a new nanny, there was no need to get rid of the old one immediately at this critical moment!
"Has the fever subsided?"
"No." The wet nurse was a little worried when she said this: "For such a small child, if the fever is not reduced, I'm afraid..."
She didn't dare to say anymore, no matter how young Brother Kang is, he is still his master.
It was never the servants' turn to comment on the life and death of the master. It was also because her aunt treated her so kindly that she dared to say a few words.
Chu Yunli put the child to sleep, got up and went to Aunt Yu's yard. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by her mother-in-law. She said in a good temper: "I want to visit the young master."
"No need!" The mother-in-law said in a stiff tone: "My aunt said that the young master is ill and weak, so it is not suitable to see outsiders."
Chu Yunli glanced into the yard and was thinking about breaking in to take a look when she saw several maids breaking into the main room.
The mother-in-law also saw the chaos over there and urged: "Auntie, there is a chaos in our yard now, please don't make things difficult for me."
Just at this moment, a maid hurriedly ran out. She didn't even have time to salute Chu Yunli, and ran directly towards the main courtyard.
The mother-in-law's face was full of anxiety, but she didn't urge Chu Yunli to leave. Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yilin strode over. When he saw Chu Yunli passing by the door, he frowned: "What are you doing here?"
He only asked one question, whether he was worried about his son, and blew in like a gust of wind: "Go back and stay there if nothing happens, and take good care of the child."
With these words, the mother-in-law would not let her in.
Chu Yunli sighed inwardly. She wanted to save the child, but only if the child's parents trusted her.
After all, seriously ill children need acupuncture... Not to mention her exposure, just pricking a child with needles all over his body is unacceptable to many people.
Furthermore, she didn’t see the child, and she didn’t know how sick the child was. Chu Yunli felt uneasy. As soon as she turned around and took two steps, she heard Aunt Yu’s sad cry from inside: “My son.
ah……"
Chu Yunli's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around and looked over.
There were many people coming and going in the yard, but no one helped her solve her doubts. Not long after, the maid next to Aunt Yu came out crying, and said to the old woman at the door with a choked sob: "Go buy a white dress."
Chu Yunli's heart sank.
If today's children die young, the last thing they need to wear is white clothes.
Gone so soon?
Chu Yunli saw that child two days ago. He was a little weak and not as smart as her child, but he was indeed alive.
She didn't stay long and returned to her yard.
When the wet nurse heard about what happened there, the person who was talking a lot immediately fell silent.
After dark, the child woke up.
Chu Yunli planned to wait for the nanny to finish feeding the baby and play with the baby for a while, when Zhou Yilin came. His face was very serious, which meant that he didn't have a scary face when he saw the baby.
"I heard that Brother Kang was sick. I wanted to visit him, but I couldn't go in. He..."
Zhou Yilin sighed and reached out to take the child: "This is my eldest son."
Even though Chu Yunli had guessed it, her heart was still heavy. She really felt that she needed to leave here as soon as possible. In such a wealthy family, it was so common for a pregnancy to occur and the child to die. However, many things could be avoided.
, if it weren’t for deliberate calculations, these children would have survived, and that would be a living human life.
Her status is not high enough to stop him, but she feels uncomfortable after seeing these things. Besides, Qi Xiaomei doesn't have such big ambitions. All she wants is to take her children and leave here to live her own life.
"Did anyone harm him?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yilin suddenly raised his head with sharp eyes: "What do you mean?"
"A good child suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford it. I suspect that someone harmed him. Is this wrong?" Chu Yunli held the child's hand and shook it: "I am also the mother of a child. If someone harms Brother Kang,
, the person behind the scenes will definitely reach out to my child!"
Zhou Yilin closed his eyes: "I haven't noticed it yet."
He lost a son, and his mood was not as calm as on the surface. He said: "I thought that this kind of thing wouldn't happen again after Zhang was banned. You women... it's really..."
Chu Yunli was quite speechless.
The people behind the scenes were motivated by nothing more than "profit." And their ambitions were given by Zhou Yilin. If he had not brought these women to his side, they would not have become greedy.
Of course, in the hearts of our young masters, there is no idea of being a couple for the rest of their lives.
"Sir, I have a few words to say."
Zhou Yilin waved his hand: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Although her face was full of disapproval, she already took it seriously in her heart. After Qi Xiaomei's whole person changed, she had never spoken to him so carefully before. She just said what she wanted to say.
Chu Yunli said bluntly: "There are many people in the house with a child, and it is impossible for us, mother and son, not to have others take care of us. As long as people come close, they will have a chance to take action. I was thinking, can you take us
Let them both out?"
Zhou Yilin looked surprised: "Why do you have such an idea?"
As his woman and child, running away to live outside. Wouldn’t that become an outer house?
The women outside wanted to squeeze into the house, but Qi Xiaomei wanted to go outside... Zhou Yilin felt a little annoyed when he thought of her alienation from him: "I am the father of the child, even if you don't want to see me, you should still
For the sake of my children, there are so many women around me. If you don’t want to serve me, I will never force you. But there is no need for you to move outside..."
Seeing that he was furious, Chu Yunli was not afraid and explained: "It is for the sake of the child that I want to move out. Aunt Yao and Miss Jing's child will not be born for a few months. Before that, Brother Hua is
Your only son is also your eldest son. I don’t want to lose him, and I believe the young master doesn’t want to either.”
Zhou Yilin really doesn’t want anything to happen to his only son again, but he still disagrees with this: “If you move outside, you still have to be taken care of, and if someone wants to interfere, it’s hard to guard against it!”
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes: "You can say that the child is not yours."
Zhou Yilin was stunned and looked at Brother Hua in his arms: "How can that be done?"
As the words came out of his mouth, he felt ashamed and annoyed. He couldn't protect his woman and children, so much so that he didn't dare to recognize his own blood. Is he still worthy of being a man?
He stood up suddenly: "Don't mention this matter again."
Chu Yunli was not afraid of him: "Now you don't know who is harming your child. It will be the same when you find the culprit and then take us back. I don't want Brother Hua to be in danger."
Zhou Yilin was not willing, but he was even more unwilling to move the child outside to recognize someone else as his father. He handed the child into the hands of the nanny and walked away.
Something happened to Brother Kang, and such a young child could not perform Dafa rituals. Mrs. Zhang was still grounded, so Mrs. Zhou asked someone to help her organize the funeral. She also took the time to call all Zhou Yilin's aunts and women together.
"Only when the master is well can you be well." Mrs. Zhou said bluntly: "Yes, if you have more children, you won't be able to share much of the family wealth, but if the master cannot accept the family fortune because he has few heirs, then you will have nothing left!"
She checked secretly and found nothing. It seemed that the child really died of a cold and serious illness. It was precisely because she couldn't find anything that she found this matter difficult.
All the women were frightened and trembling. They answered, saying nothing was appropriate, and in the end they just remained silent.
Mrs. Zhou beat them a few more times and let them go, but left Chu Yunli behind.
"You have recently bought a lot of medicinal materials. What are you going to use them for?"
At this critical juncture, the matter of the medicinal materials would definitely arouse suspicion. But Chu Yunli had nothing to do, Qi Xiaotao was seriously ill and could no longer wait.
In fact, she wanted to move in with Qi Xiaotao, so she mentioned the move to Zhou Yilin yesterday.
"My sister is seriously ill. I want to prepare the medicine myself...Madam may not know that my mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to me. She later injured her body and passed away. My family all thought that I was reclusive and refused to get close to me.
Only my sister is willing to take care of me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have grown up at all... Now that she is ill, I want to repay her kindness for raising me, but I can't help her, so I can only make medicine myself to express my feelings.
"
The words were reasonable and reasonable, and Mrs. Zhou sighed: "It's hard for you to be sincere, but now that the house is in trouble, it's better not to bring in irrelevant medicinal materials."
Chu Yunli wanted to give some more advice.
Mrs. Zhou raised her hand to interrupt her: "Since your sister is seriously ill, from now on you go out to stay with her for an hour every day and drink for her yourself."
This was an unexpected surprise.
Chu Yunli was surprised at first, but then she guessed that Mrs. Zhou must have secretly inquired about what happened to the two sisters and felt sympathy. After all, Zhou Xiaotao's experiences were indeed quite pitiful.
Mrs. Zhou didn't mind her illness and was willing to let Zhou Xiaomei take care of her, which showed that she was a kind-hearted person. Of course, this was probably for Brother Hua's sake.
Since Mrs. Zhou agreed, after returning, Chu Yunli took the prepared medicine and went out.
Qi Xiaotao lived alone in the courtyard. The next day, a woman came with the medicine. She was at a loss. She had never eaten a ready-made meal in twenty years of life.
She always felt that she did not deserve to live such a good life.
Wanting to send the mother-in-law away, the mother-in-law knelt and begged on the ground, begging her to give her a way to live. Qi Xiaotao himself was a miserable person, how could he be willing to cut off the lives of others?
Seeing her sister coming to the door, she hurried out and said, "I'm here now. I have something to tell you."
The mother-in-law came out of the kitchen with an apologetic look on her face: "Master, she doesn't want me to serve you."
Calling Miss Qi Xiaotao is what Chu Yunli meant.
Qi Xiaotao waved her hands hurriedly: "What kind of girl am I? Don't call me that."
Chu Yunli stepped forward and held her hand, pulled her to sit on the stone table next to her, poured the medicine and handed it to her hand: "Drink the medicine first."
This medicine is very bitter, but for Qi Xiaotao, the value of the medicine itself allows her to ignore the bitterness. After all, she has never seen much money since she was a child, and has never squandered it. But when it comes to medicine, there is no cheap one. She doesn't
Dare to waste it and drink it cleanly in one gulp.
Chu Yunli liked patients who were willing to take medicine. She smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to be upset. I'm not short of money now. If you think so, I brought you here because I want you to live a good life.
Rather than asking you to work as hard as before to serve a large family."
Qi Xiaotao was moved in her heart and choked up: "I always feel like I'm in a dream." She wiped her tears: "I didn't dare to sleep at night, because I was afraid that when I woke up, I would be back in the Tian family's yard, and the whole family would be waiting.
Get up and make breakfast with me."
"All this is true." Chu Yunli urged: "Don't stay in the yard all the time. If you have time, go out for a walk. By the way, don't talk to Qi Dachang. The couple are greedy. They are like blood-sucking leeches.
I can't get rid of him. I have money, but I don't want to give him any money!"
Qi Xiaotao nodded: "I know it well."
Chu Yunli stood up: "I have to go back. I will come here every day and the medicine will be boiled here."
The mother-in-law only took care of one person. She always felt that she was too busy and was afraid that she would be kicked out one day. When she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Master, I can help."
"You don't need to." Chu Yunli's method of boiling the medicine is a little different, and the medicine is more effective. Now Qi Xiaotao's illness has to be dealt with by her herself, but she cannot tell the truth to outsiders. She only emphasizes: "This is what I want to say to my sister."
No one can steal your heart."
Speaking of this, the mother-in-law did not dare to say any more.
Qi Xiaotao was moved to tears: "Little sister, you are so kind to me."
The person in front of him was one of the few relatives of Qi Xiaomei. Chu Yunli had to try his best to save her life and let her live a comfortable life, saying: "Sister, don't think too much."
Qi Xiaotao sent her out in person, but was a little worried. The concubine cannot go out at will. My sister seems to be too arbitrary. Will there be any problems?
