Chapter 150 – Find a dying man to marry in the future.

“Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!” Chen Ah Qing once again kowtowed and thanked him.

The cook was also overjoyed, “Ah Qing has met a nobleman!”

“You take her down first, and let her come to Xiu Mei tomorrow.” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes, yes!” The cook agreed in a loud voice.

After saying this, the cook pulled Chen Aqing and said as she walked, “I’ll take you to change your clothes, you’re going to work in Ms. Wei’s friend’s store, these clothes are not decent. You’ll stay here with me this time, don’t go back home for a while, I don’t want the new clothes I changed for you to be taken and altered by your mother to give to your brother again.”

The cook didn’t know that the store was owned by Wei Ruo himself, who claimed to the public that it belonged to his friend, and that he and Xiu Mei were only helping to make the halibut and hire people.

Watching the two walk away, some of Xiu Mei’s dusty memories appeared in her mind.

“Miss, I remember that I was sold to the He family as if it was because my mother gave birth to a younger brother and couldn’t support him.”

Xiu Mei was very young when she was sold, so she doesn’t remember much about her original family.

Again, it was sold on a death warrant, with no correspondence behind it.

When Wei Ruo was taken over to the Wei family, Xiu Mei’s contract as Wei Ruo’s only personal maid was also transferred to the Wei family.

Although just a maid, He family also dare not not give, if the Wei family to send their daughter back when there is no maid around, for fear that the Wei family know that their daughter in their hands in the first family aggrieved.

Even now, the Wei family does not know what kind of days Wei Ruo is living in the He family, the He family’s explanation to the Wei family is that Wei Ruo’s health is not good sent to the countryside to raise the body.

Wei Ruo patted Xiu Mei’s shoulder, “No matter them, it’s their loss if they don’t want my Mei Mei.”

Xiu Mei nodded heavily, “That’s right! I don’t need them, I’m living happily with Miss, and Nanny Uncle Xu!”

“Wait a little longer, when I’m old enough to marry, I’ll find someone who’s going to die and marry him, I’ll be able to stand on my own two feet, and then we’ll live together.” Wei Ruo said to Xiu Mei.

“Is there no other way, miss? I don’t want you to commit yourself to marrying someone who will die.” Xiu Mei muttered somewhat reluctantly.

“At home from my father, married from my husband, this is the easiest and most direct way for me to make my own way in my current status. Besides what’s wrong with someone who is about to die, I’d be happier if he could still leave me a stepson.” Wei Ruo laughed.

Wei Ruo really didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

She, a person who had lived two lives, was more interested in living her own fast life than in love affairs.

Probably the biggest problem is how to find such a person, I guess, it’s not so easy to find eligible would be people, and you have to be able to get everyone to agree.

Xiu Mei muttered, “That’s really not as good as something like Ah Qing, at least she can come out and do the work herself.”

“To each his own, I guess; we can’t choose our lives, so we’ll just have to choose the path of our feet well.”

Wei Ruo was busy for ten days or so.

That day Mrs. Yuan came to Tian Qin Yuan to find Wei Ruo and brought good news to Wei Ruo.

“Sister Ruo’er, great joy, your father has once again led his army to a great defeat against the Japanese!”

“Really?” Wei Ruo revealed a look of surprise.

“Really! The report of the shortcut has just reached the governor’s office, and my husband sent someone to inform me the first time he learned about it.”

The information Mrs. Yuan received was bound to be accurate.

“Then …… can anyone be injured?” Wei Ruo wanted to know how Xu Zhengyong was.

“It’s inevitable that there will be casualties in the battle between the two armies, but don’t worry, your father, he’s fine, he’s only slightly injured.” Mrs. Yuan replied.

“Are any of the other generals injured?” Wei Ruo pursued.

“This is not clear.” Mrs. Yuan replied that the information she had received was not yet so detailed.

Wei Ruo had a little disappointment, and was thinking of finding someone to go back to Xingshan County to inquire about it in a while.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo again, “I heard that this time there was a general surnamed Xu who performed extremely well, led a small group of men and horses over Wang Yue Mountain, raided the enemy army, and in the end captured the leader of the incoming Japanese invaders this time, making a great achievement.”

Mr. Xu, isn’t that Brother Yong?

“Then is he injured?” Wei Ruo asked busily.

“I don’t think so, I’ve only heard of him getting meritorious service, I haven’t heard of him being seriously injured, and even if he was injured, it should be a minor injury.” Mrs. Yuan replied.

Wei Ruo was filled with joy, “That’s good, that’s good.”

“In addition to coming over to tell you the good news, I also wanted to ask you if you want to send someone to send you back to Xingshan County first, so that you can have a good celebration with your father.” Mrs. Yuan asked.

“No need, it’s good to know that victory is not necessary to celebrate, and aren’t there still quite a few casualties? My father should not want to make a big celebration.” Wei Ruo explained.

“Also.” Mrs. Yuan agreed, “But after all, it’s a win, it’s still worth rejoicing. Although this fight against the Japanese pirates is about to become the norm, and the people are supposed to live and let live, but it’s always been a fight, and there’s always a lot of worry in the heart, and my husband has been laboring for a long time over this. Can win everyone in order to have a good year.”

And then Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo to talk for a while, during which she tasted Wei Ruo’s dried fruits and candied fruits here as well as brined meat.

Until the governor’s mansion came to tell Mrs. Yuan that Sheng brother son woke up from his nap and went around looking for his mother, Mrs. Yuan went back.

And then Wei Ruo quickly wrote a letter to send someone fast and urgent to send to Xingshan County, to confirm the situation of Xiaoyong brother.

Although just now, listening to what Mrs. Yuan said, Wei Ruo felt that that person was Xiao Yong’s brother, but she still needed to confirm it again to be more at ease.

As a result, the reply arrived the next day, but it was not the letter that came, but Xu’s mom and Xu Zhengyong himself.

“Brother Xiaoyong!” Xiu Mei ran up excitedly, checking Xu Zhengyong’s condition from front to back and up and down.

Then seeing one of his hands wrapped in a white cloth, he hurriedly asked, “What happened? Is your hand broken? Quickly let the lady take a look!”

“It’s not broken, it’s just a bit of a skin wound.” Xu Zhengyong was busy saying.

“What superficial wounds! A skin wound can be fatal even if you don’t nurse it well, it’s better to let Miss give you a look!” Xiu Mei pulled Xu Zhengyong’s uninjured other arm and headed towards Wei Ruo’s heel.

“It’s really fine, and I’ve already used the medicine.” Xu Zhengyong hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Xiu Mei was so nervous about herself, Xu Zhengyong smiled and said, “Senior sister, look at how concerned you are about me, are you planning to call me senior brother?”

When Xiu Mei heard this, she immediately let go of her hand, then glared at Xu Zhengyong in a bad mood, “You want to eat shit! It’s good that I didn’t beat you up! Still want me to call you senior?”

“Why did you beat me up, I’ve made a military achievement.” Xu Zhengyong innocently said.

“You’re still talking about it, why didn’t you tell us in advance about the fact that you were going to lead a raid, how dangerous would that be? In case you don’t cooperate well with the large troop, your life will be in danger!”
