C91 (2/2)

”Don't press yet, I want to sleep for a while.” As Xia Li spoke, he leaned against Sun Chun's body and fell asleep.

A tinge of thought flashed across Sun Chun's eyes, and his tightly clenched fists finally loosened. He sighed, and covered Xia Li with a thin blanket.

Only after Xia Li went unconscious for an entire day and night did he finally feel better. Lee's personally brought a bowl of lotus seed soup in front of Xia Li.

”My daughter, this is my mother's personally brewed lotus seed soup. I heard that the lotus seed soup can help you rest at ease. Recently, you haven't been able to rest well. Drink it to make your body more comfortable.”

Xia Li looked at Lee's who was getting weaker and weaker, without saying a word, he took the soup from Lee's's hands and drank.

Seeing that Xia Li was willing to drink the soup, Lee's smiled. ”It was Mother's fault that day, your father … ”He had his hand cut off earlier, and I looked at him with pity. Who would have thought that he was actually hiding his evil intentions, that he had done you harm.”

”Mother, can you do it? In the future, don't meddle in his matters anymore. He has his eyes on your good intentions and wants to bully you.” Xia Li put down the bowl of soup and advised Lee's.

”Mother, you know your wrongs. It's just that, he said that in the future, other than Rich Man Yang, there will be other people who will think about your medicinal formula. Girl, you must be careful ah.”

”As long as we have enough money, it's good enough. Having more money can easily lead to disaster.” The Lee's tried his best to persuade Xia Li.

”I will be careful, Mother. In the future, you must tell me everything related to him.”

Xia Li warned again. Lee's nodded silently, took his empty bowl and left the room.

Under the meticulous care of Sun Chun and the Lee's, Xia Li's body recovered its vitality and the headache disappeared without a trace.

The shopkeeper's body recovered, and everyone worked even harder at the end. Day Rui and his two waiters fought over the job of getting hospital, and took the initiative to buy some plums, candied fruits, and other snacks to deliver to Xia Li, to make her happier.

Xia Li seemed to have forgotten all his displeasantness as well. He blended in with the rest and continued to treat the patients and sell the painkillers.

The days had finally calmed down with great difficulty, but the arrival of the two uninvited guests had disrupted everything.

The sky had just turned bright, and the shop assistant, Day Bao, had just opened the door to his room, when he was pushed down to the ground by a burly girl. She had a domineering look, stepping on Day Bao's fingers, she angrily walked towards the backyard, her voice sharp and ear-piercing.

”Where is he!?” Come out! ” As the woman spoke, she rubbed her hands together and rolled up her sleeves before aggressively kicking open the side door to the backyard.

The moment Xia Li heard the ear-piercing voice coming from the courtyard, he put on his clothes, opened the door, and went out.

Lee's covered Xia Qing's mouth and hid in the room, observing the situation outside through the gap of the door.

Xia Li observed the person who came over. She was dressed in a grey coarse garment and was damp all over. She was so angry that she seemed like she was about to spew out flames of rage as she stared at her.

A woman in the same flimsy dress followed him into the backyard. She had a beaded flower stuck into her hair, and her face was carefully made up.

When she saw the silk dress that Xia Li was wearing and the jade bracelet on his wrist, a trace of jealousy flashed across her eyes. When Sun Chun walked out, her eyes almost popped out, subdued by the handsome man with the extraordinary temperament in front of her.

Perhaps it was because the young woman's gaze was too offensive, but Sun Chun felt a wave of disgust in his heart. He walked to Xia Li's side without leaving a trace, and held her hand, as a form of declaration of their relationship.

As expected, the young girl's gaze instantly dimmed, and she grunted before walking to the side of the middle-aged woman.

”What is it? It's been so many years since we've met, and you don't recognize us? ” The middle aged woman snorted, staring at Xia Li.

Xia Li had already quickly searched through his mind, and recognized the person in front of him, it was the sister who grew up with Xia Manjiang, Xia Chunhua. Because she hated Xia Manjiang for gambling, she brought her family and moved to another place, and never contacted them again.

The person who stood beside her and dressed even better than Xia Chunhua was definitely her daughter, Jin Xi'er.

Xia Li's heart was filled with doubts, but he still wore a smile on his face, and instructed Day Bao who was standing at the side: ”Day Bao, go and bring Aunt and Cousin Xi'er two cups of tea, they are all guests who have come from afar.”

”Yes, send it right away.” Day Bao rubbed his hands, which were aching from being stepped on by Xia Village Flower, and secretly glared at Xia Chunhua, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to work.

”No need! We don't have the mood to drink tea now, Xia Li, where is your mother? Xia Chunhua roared.

”Aunt, aren't you going a bit too far?” Xia Li faintly smiled, but a trace of coldness flashed past his eyes.

”Your father is dead. Did you know that he was driven down the mountain by those who tried to force him into action?” Xia Chunhua questioned Xia Li, his eyes red.

Xia Li's heart trembled slightly as he replied calmly, ”I don't know.”

”You …” Xia Chunhua choked and his hands trembled in anger: ”If it wasn't for you being so cold and unwilling to save your father, would he have been forced to die alive?”

”What did you say? Is he dead?” The door opened wide, and Lee's led Xia Qing out, obviously not believing him.

”Sister-in-law, you finally came out. I hired a carriage to bring his corpse back. Aren't you going to take a look?”

As Xia Chunhua spoke, the anger in his eyes grew even stronger.

Lee's felt the sky spin and the earth spin as he fell to the ground.

”Mother!” Wake up! ” Xia Qing supported the unconscious Lee's and shouted loudly.

”Mother!” Xia Li also ran over and helped the unconscious Lee's up.

Lee's woke up and insisted on looking at Xia Manjiang's body. His body was placed in the backyard and Xia Li bought a coffin for his corpse.
