C86

Xia Li stayed by Sun Chun's side for a short while, before tiredly lying on the bed and falling asleep. The room was once again quiet, and only heard the pitter patter sound of rain hitting the floor outside the door.

After an unknown period of time, Sun Chun slowly woke up. With a glance, he saw the sleeping Xia Li beside his bed. The corner of his lips revealed a trace of a smile, and he lightly caressed the ruddy face of the woman beside him.

caressed Xia Li's face again and again, making the unconscious person to realize that she was not holding onto anything. She frowned, grabbed her restless hands, and fell asleep once again.

Sun Chun stopped playing with her and lovingly caressed Xia Li's black hair, struggling to support himself up so that he could sit up straight, but his hands slipped and his body fell on the bed, waking Xia Li up.

"What's wrong?" Xia Li opened his eyes and looked at Sun Chun.

"I want to get out of bed and walk around." Sun Chun said warmly.

"You have just retired from the cold and cannot blow the cold wind. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Lie down on your bed and rest well." Xia Li said in a serious tone.

At the same time, there was a series of knocks on the door. Xia Li stood up to open the door, and walked in with a bowl of soup.

"Shopkeeper, this is the medicine I concocted to dispel the cold wind for Young Master Sun, I'll leave it here for now. If you need anything, feel free to tell me." Day Bao said as he placed the soup on the table.

"Thank you, Day Bao." Sun Chun coughed and replied hoarsely.

Day Bao smiled as he rubbed the back of his head, and then retreated.

After Sun Chun finished drinking the medicine, he gave the medicine to Xia Li.

Lin Que put the bowl on the table. He still wanted to stay with Sun Chun a little longer to make up for the time they had missed each other recently.

Xia Li pushed the door open and walked out. She saw that Lee's was supporting Xia Manjiang who was covered in mud and water, walking into the house. She was shocked and walked over to Lee's.

"Your father went all the way back from the outside of the town and fell down several times. His body is still burning right now, and we can't just watch him die. Otherwise, my conscience will not be able to rest." The Lee's said, his eyes turning red.

Xia Li was startled, but when she said that, she rejected him immediately, and that made her feel uncompassionate. With Day Rui who was following behind Lee's, Day Bao gave her a look, and then the two servants ran in front of Lee's, and took Xia Manjiang over and helped him into the Lee's's room.

Following this, the Lee's helped Xia Manjiang to change his clothes, take a hot bath, and eat Feng Feng Han's medicine. The Lee's stayed by Xia Manjiang's side, taking care of him for the entire night, until the second day when he fainted on the side.

Xia Li felt nothing in his heart towards Xia Manjiang, who had abandoned his wife and child to go hide his debt. Instead, he stood indifferently at the side and did not approach, and just like that, two or three days passed by quietly. Xia Manjiang had completely recovered but still did not take a single step out of bed.

When Xia Li was dragged by the Lee's to see Xia Manjiang, Xia Manjiang who had been lying down in bed all this time felt guilty. He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and got off the bed.

"Are you better?" Xia Li asked Xia Manjiang coldly.

"My good daughter, it's all thanks to your mother's care and care. I feel much better." Xia Manjiang said, taking the initiative to approach the Lee's, to hold her hand, and said with a smile.

Lee's was a little embarrassed and wanted to retract his hand, but was pulled directly into Xia Manjiang's embrace.

"You all, this is?" Xia Li was stunned.

"Your mother accepts me again. Father swears that from now on, he will live a peaceful life with your mother and help you take care of hospital." Xia Manjiang said.

Xia Li found it hard to accept this fact as she left Lee's's room while stroking the strands of hair by her ear. She needed to take a deep breath and tidy up her messy thoughts.

It had only been a single day, and the fact that the Lee's had turned against her camp and accepted Xia Manjiang was far beyond her expectations.

Xia Li was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, while the Lee's followed closely behind, and sat down next to her.

Mother knows you don't understand, but you have to give yourself and your father a chance. Perhaps this time, he is sincerely repenting and wants to come back and live a good life with our family.

Lee's's words caused Xia Li's heart to sink a little. She had never thought about all these, so she could only stay silent for a moment.

"Can we keep him for a while?" Lee's leaned on Xia Li and lowered his posture.

"Yes." Xia Li replied as he lowered his head and did not speak any further.

Separated by a door, Xia Manjiang, who was hidden in a room, could clearly see the expression of Xia Li, who was in the courtyard.

Xia Li returned to Sun Chun's room gloomily. He was holding a book and flipping through it when he saw Xia Li come in. He poured a cup of tea and passed it to her.

"What are you depressed about?" Sun Chun looked at Xia Li's expression and asked.

"My mother is prepared to accept Xia Manjiang. In the future, even the sky will feel like it's crumbling." Xia Li's expression became gloomy, and his mood dropped to the extreme.

"Then what are you going to do?" Sun Chun asked from the side.

"Zero tolerance. As long as he dares to gamble and do something that would anger everyone and everyone, he will definitely be taught a lesson and thrown out." Xia Li said firmly, and her eyes flickered with intense fury.

"Then that's the end. Just look at this person's performance, it's so that it doesn't ruin the relationship between you and your mother." Sun Chun said as he comforted Xia Li. However, a hint of worry flashed past his eyes.

"Manager, this is this month's profit, a total of two hundred silver. Please verify it." The shop assistant, Day Rui, placed the account book and the abacus in front of Xia Li's desk.

"Alright, you go ahead first. I'll check it out." As Xia Li said this, she picked up the abacus and checked the pages of the account book, the crackling sounds making her feel extremely happy.

Chapter 71

After Xia Li finished checking the account books, she rubbed his temples and felt extremely satisfied. Although it wasn't as much as the money she earned from selling the painkillers previously, she liked her current lifestyle more.

Painkiller was a new drug that could slow down the pain of many diseases. It was very profitable and easily attracted many people's attention, causing a lot of disputes. She instinctively controlled the flow of the flow of the drug.

She was determined not to let the painkillers fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives until she could find a more effective way to use them.

Just as Xia Li was deep in thought with his eyes closed, he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation from his shoulders. Opening his eyes, he saw that Sun Chun was standing behind her and massaging her shoulders.

"What are you thinking about?" Sun Chun's voice was low and full of magnetism, making Xia Li feel very comfortable listening to it.

"It's nothing. I was just daydreaming." Xia Li held Sun Chun's hand and said with a smile.

At this moment, the two of them were no longer speaking. They were quietly living in the same room, warm and blissful.

Not long after, Sun Chun left for the forest to practice martial arts and busy himself with personal matters.

Xia Li stayed in the hospital, and busied herself with Day Rui, as well as the attending doctor Bai Ying. What surprised her was that Xia Manjiang also ran over, and busily served the tea and water to the patient, and found an opportunity to help her and the others in the shop. Xia Li was stunned by Xia Manjiang's actions for a while.

Lee's walked to her side and said with a face full of satisfaction: "My daughter, your father is really changing recently. He is currently speaking very softly with me and helping me wash my clothes, sweep the courtyard, and escort Xia Qing to the private school to study. These are really the best days that I can see."

"I would like to see such a good day." Xia Li looked at Xia Manjiang's figure that was shuttling back and forth, and replied softly.

Following the increasing number of people entering the hospital, Xia Li did not continue chatting with the Lee's and instead, began to receive new patients. He became completely busy, and did not have to think about other things.

Xia Li secretly observed for a few days, but as Xia Manjiang was always on guard, she also temporarily let her guard down. She went to the Nine Dragon Mountain with Sun Chun to pick the medicinal herbs used in the development of the pain-relieving medicine, and this time, she went for two days and one night, returning to the original courtyard where the Tianshui Village was staying at the night.

Three days later, Xia Li and Sun Chun arrived at the escort company which was located at the northern outskirts of Red River Town. This time, she only gave them two painkillers.

In the parlour, the person who came to welcome him was not Yang Xuechen, but the manager from before.

"Where is your master?" Xia Li was curious, and took the initiative to ask.

"Master has returned to the capital. He has some urgent matters to attend to." The manager personally brought a teacup to Xia Li and replied enthusiastically.

"Our escort company's business is spread throughout the entire nation. Last time, it just so happened to be the master coming to do some Red River Town, so we stayed for a few more days." The manager explained in detail.

"Then your master is rather busy." As Xia Li spoke, he took out a red square box and placed it in front of the manager, before opening it.

"Here are two painkillers, please bring them to your master."

"Miss Xia Li is too polite." The supervisor looked at the quality of the painkillers carefully, then took out a money bag from his bosom, took out several tens of silver and placed it on the table, after which he directly handed the money bag to Xia Li.

"Here is one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Miss Xia Li keep it well, before our master leaves, he asked this old servant to bring a message to Miss. He really appreciates you, he will come back to invite you to tea."

"I think it's more accurate for you managers to be thinking about the medicine in my hands." Xia Li held the money bag in his hands, his eyes shining, and carefully put it away.

"This …"

The manager helplessly smiled but did not reply.

Hearing that, Sun Chun paused in the drinking tea movement, his eyes stared straight at the manager, and coldly stared at him.

The supervisor could only force a smile as he tried to ease this awkward situation.

Xia Li had always been secretly observing Sun Chun's reaction. Very good, even with jealousy, he still cared about himself a lot.

Sun Chun did not want Xia Li to interact any further with him, even if he came to the escort company, he was extremely unhappy. He put down the teacup in his hand and directly pulled Xia Li away.
