Chapter 359 The General Visits Again

Qiao Ran still has a lot of gold and banknotes in her space, and she has developed a habit from her previous life of treating the real poor without charging money.

Therefore, she put the money back into Fang Sun's hands:

"Aunt, you keep the money, I don't want it. I didn't do anything. Brother Fang introduced me to such a good wife as Mr. Sun, which helped me a lot. I should just diagnose and treat Mr. Sun's disease. Mr. Sun's Once the disease is cured, I can better teach the children in our village in the future. This is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties, and my aunt no longer has to pay me."

"Yes! Yes! The root cause of Yuanzhi's disease has been gone for several years. He spent an unknown amount of money on the decoctions and medicines he drank, and almost collapsed his body. I really didn't expect that you could solve his old disease for many years with just one move. From now on, I no longer need to drink those bitter medicines, and my health has improved. This is a great favor to our family! If you don’t take the money, I will feel uneasy!"

Mrs. Fang Sun insisted on giving the money to Qiao Ran, but Qiao Ran refused to accept it.

Sun Xiucai hurriedly stepped forward and dissuaded Fang Sun: "Sister, keep this money. Your life is so difficult and you have to support the students to study in the academy. You really don't need to spend any more money on me. I still have a few taels of silver here. If you want to thank Miss Qiao, you should also use my money."

As he spoke, he poured out all the savings he had brought from Luoyang City from the money bag around his waist, and handed them to Qiao Ran with both hands:

"Miss Qiao, you are willing to take me in as your wife and help me cure my old illness. I will always keep this kindness in my heart. Now I only have this money. You can accept it first. From now on, I will give you my money." I’ll leave a few dozen pennies every month to buy pen and paper, and I’ll give you the rest as repayment of the medical fees and medicines.”

Qiao Ran didn't answer: "Mr. Sun, I have made it very clear just now. I am treating you for the sake of the children in our village. Besides, it doesn't take much effort. I made the pills myself and it didn't cost much." You don’t have to worry about money. I won’t ask for your money, just keep it for yourself!”

After several visits, Qiao Ran was unwilling to accept the siblings' monetary thanks, which moved both siblings and Fang Chenghai beside them.

After reminiscing for a while, Sun Xiucai decided not to waste Miss Qiao's time too much, so he was about to say goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law.

Both Fang Sun and Fang Chenghai tried their best to persuade them to have lunch at home before going back, but it was still early and there was still more than an hour before lunch time!

Seeing that they insisted on leaving, Mrs. Fang Sun hurriedly went in and out, rummaging around for anything she could take back to them.

In the end, she only dug out a handful of dried wild vegetables, a few kilograms of threshed corn, a few kilograms of soybeans and peanuts, and a few radishes stored in the cellar. She was reluctant to eat them and saved them for her son to replenish when he returned from the academy. A few eggs in the body...

He even grabbed the old hen that took two or three days to lay an egg directly from the henhouse, tied its feet and put it in the carriage, saying that he would give it to Qiao Ran as a thank you gift.

Qiao Ran stopped her quickly: "Auntie, keep these things, we really don't lack them. Mr. Sun eats with my family, he knows what the situation is like. It's not easy for you now, keep these for yourself. !”

Sun Xiucai also knew that his sister's family lived a poor life. He felt that he should repay his kindness by himself and could not drag down his sister's family, so he also helped to persuade her.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and in the end Qiao Ran couldn't refuse the kindness, so she had to take the handful of dried wild vegetables and a few kilograms of soybeans and peanuts, and refused to accept the rest.

Before getting into the car, Sun Xiucai took out his few taels of silver and stuffed it into his sister's hand.

"Sister, you have to support Lisheng's education. I heard that last year's harvest was not good, so it must be very difficult. I still have a few taels of silver here. Since Miss Qiao refuses to accept the money, I will leave it to you for emergencies. I hope sister Don't refuse. I live in Qingshui Village now. I have food and shelter, and it doesn't cost anything. When I get the bundles later, I will send them to you. In the past, my sister and brother-in-law helped me, but I still have to work hard for this job. The student helped me find it, so it’s time for me to help you, so don’t be polite to me."

Mrs. Fang Sun refused to accept it, so Sun Xiucai directly stuffed it into her hand and quickly got on the carriage.

Mrs. Fang Sun held the few taels of silver in her hands and looked at the carriage going away. Tears fell in her eyes, but this time the tears that flowed back were tears of joy and relief.

My brother's disease is cured!

When my brother becomes a master, he will receive a high salary!

My brother will be able to live a good life in the future!

The eldest sister is like mother. She has worried about her brother for so many years, and now she can finally no longer worry about his health and life.

Devil's Valley and Qingshui Village are really good places. What a group of kind-hearted people there!

Qiao Ran drove the carriage back to the camp before noon.

Unexpectedly, another guest came to the house!

"Sister Qiao, you are back! Lan'er misses you so much! Lan'er is coming with her parents to see you!"

Qiao Ran had just parked the carriage in the open space in front of the tent area, and was about to let Sun Xiucai get off first. She then unloaded the carriage and led the horse to the stream to drink water and eat grass.

But as soon as the carriage stopped, a small figure rushed out of nowhere and rushed towards the carriage.

Qiao Ran reacted quickly and jumped out of the carriage, hugging the person before he could hit the horse's leg before he could brake.

It turned out to be Zheng Ruolan, the daughter of General Zheng's family.

Qiao Ran held the two-year-old baby in her arms, gently pinched her rosy cheeks, and carried her into the tent.

Chen Huiniang and others also went to the valley to help open up wasteland today. Only the old lady and a few children were left at home.

At this moment, General Zheng and his wife were sitting by the charcoal basin, talking to Mrs. Qiao who was holding Xiaoba.

Seeing Qiao Ran coming back, both General Zheng and his wife turned their heads to look at Qiao Ran, staring at her face as if they wanted to find something on her face.

Such eyes made Qiao Ran stunned for a moment. Could it be that they knew that they were wearing makeup?

It's impossible. Except for her family members, not even the people in the village know about this. She gradually made her face darker and darker along the way. Others just thought she got tanned on the road.

After a few breaths, even Mrs. Qiao noticed something unusual and looked at General Zheng and his wife in surprise.

Realizing that it was inappropriate to stare at Miss Qiao's face, General Zheng coughed lightly, lowered his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The general's wife also smiled awkwardly and stood up.

"Miss Qiao is back? Is this...?"

Qiao Ran introduced: "This is Sun Xiucai, the master just invited by our village. He will teach the children in the village starting tomorrow."

The general's wife was surprised: "Tomorrow? Is your village going to open a school so soon?"
