Chapter 63 - You better not cry



Chapter 63: You better not cry

?

So they used them to rent a few horse carriages to send them to the capital.

Early in the morning, the horse carriages from the county came to pick them up.

Shi Qingluo heard from the people who bought tofu and pulled Xiao Hanzheng along to send them off.

After moving their baggage into the carriage, the old Xiao family looked at their house with reluctance.

After all, they had lived there for so many years.

Now, they had to suddenly leave this place.

This wouldn’t be their house anymore when they returned.

Shi Qingluo saw their expressions the moment she arrived.

Hence, she walked forward and said, “What’s there to be reluctant about in this lousy place? You have better things to do.

“Doesn’t it smell nicer to live in the general’s residence, which is dozens or even a hundred times bigger than your old house?

“Don’t tell me you still want to come back?”

These words instantly broke the reluctance and sadness of the troublemakers in the Xiao family.

This damn girl, what she said made too much sense.

How could this lousy place be comparable to the general’s residence? What was there to be reluctant about?

They didn’t want to come back at all.

Old Lady Xiao glanced at Shi Qingluo. “Why are you here?”

Shi Qingluo giggled and said, “I can’t bear to part with you so I came to send you off.”

The people from the old Xiao family uttered under their breath, how fake she was.

Shi Qingluo continued, “Although we are separated, aren’t we more reliable than that son of yours who only cares about his own well-being and left you in the countryside to continue to suffer?”

The people from the old Xiao family felt the pain in their hearts.

This wretched girl must have done it on purpose.

Old Lady Xiao said unhappily, “You don’t have to come and send me off.”

Shi Qingluo moved closer to her, appearing as though they had a very good relationship.

With an aggrieved expression, she said, “Old lady, your words really hurt my heart. I’ve always been thinking of all of you.”

Old Lady Xiao had goosebumps all over her body. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Shi Qingluo asked softly, “Half a month ago, didn’t Mdm Hu come knocking on your door and instigate you to look for my husband to cause trouble?”

Old Lady Xiao widened her eyes. “How did you know?”

Then, she realised that she had been tricked.

But it didn’t matter. The key was that she really couldn’t figure out how the wretched girl knew.

Shi Qingluo raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

With a hint of mysteriousness, she said, “My master is an old immortal. What would I not know?”

Old Lady Xiao…

Should I believe it or not?

But if she didn’t, it was impossible for the wretched girl to know about this.

She made her even more fearful of Shi Qingluo.

She originally planned that after arriving at the general’s residence in the capital, apart from asking her grandson to write a letter asking the wretched girl to think of ideas, she would immediately refrain herself from fooling around in other matters.

She even explained, “We didn’t listen to her instigation.”

Shi Qingluo gave her a knowing look. “You are a smart old lady. Of course you wouldn’t fall for her tricks.”

She then asked inadvertently, “The two of you are going to the capital by horse carriage and not by boats?”

This was the main reason why she had come to send them off today.

Old Lady Xiao didn’t think too much about it and replied truthfully, “That’s right. We have a lot of luggage. It’s troublesome to move it around by water.”

Although the old couple had never taken a boat on a long journey, they had heard that sea transportation was sometimes very dangerous.

They would lose their lives if their boat capsized or if they encountered pirates.

Therefore, even if travelling by water took less time, they still chose the carriages.

Shi Qingluo agreed with her, “Yes, if the seasickness is severe, you might even get sick or even die of illness after a long journey.

“Old Lady, you’re so blessed. Of course, you have to save your fortune to enjoy yourself in the general’s residence.”

So, don’t change your mind about taking the boat.

The old lady’s originally calm face also revealed a smile. She liked to hear this.

If an old immortal’s disciple said that she was blessed, she definitely would be.

“You’re so sweet-tongued.”

Shi Qingluo coaxed, “I like to tell the truth.”

Old Lady Xiao was even happier. “Don’t worry, when we gain a firm foothold in the capital, you two will benefit as well.”

She believed that Shi Qingluo and her husband came to send her off as they hoped to gain some benefits in the future.

Shi Qingluo knew that she had misunderstood her but did not explain further.

Instead, she went along with her words and said, “I like smart people like you the most, old lady.”

Thinking that she was eyeing on Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father and the benefit he would bring, the old lady and the others trusted her ideas more.

She then asked Eldest Grandson Xiao, “Do you remember what we talked about before?”

He patted his chest. “Don’t worry, just wait for my letter.”

Shi Qingluo gave him a thumbs up. “Very good.”

Then, the people from the old residence got into the horse carriage one after another.

Shi Qingluo smiled warmly and said, “Take care!”

Do cherish the first half of the journey, and don’t cry during the rest of the journey. If you want to cry, you must endure until you get to the capital.

The old Xiao family did not know what she was thinking, but they were very pleased with her attitude, and their dislike towards her reduced a lot.

After the carriage had completely disappeared from her sight, Shi Qingluo turned to look at Xiao Hanzheng. “Old Xiao, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

She had already hinted to him.

She had to rely on her young husband to find someone to rob them. She wasn’t familiar with this.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and held her hand. “Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”

These people deserve to suffer.

It would be easier for them to be demons if they went to the capital after suffering a great grievance.

He added, “I’m going out for a trip the day after tomorrow. I might be back in ten days to half a month. I’ll go and take care of this while I’m at it.”

Shi Qingluo recalled what he had said before. “You’re going to provide medical consultation to earn money?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, I’m going to earn some favour from others while I’m at it too.”

Shi Qingluo asked, “Are you going somewhere far away?”

Otherwise, why would he take ten days to half a month to come back.

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “To the prefecture. It’s not far, but it’ll take some time.”

Shi Qingluo did not know about the prefecture, so she did not probe further. “Then come back as soon as you’re done. We’ll be waiting for you at home.”

She added, “Leave the construction and the house to me.”

Xiao Zhenghan held her hand tightly. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble you after I leave.”

He liked hearing her words that she would wait for him at home. Having a home was great.

Two days later, Xiao Zhenghan brought along the medicinal herbs that he had recently picked from the mountain and left home.

That night, Shi Qingluo had insomnia.

Looking at the half-empty bed, she sighed. Habit was a scary thing.

Sigh, I miss my little husband!

Xiao Hanzheng, who was staying at the inn on the other side, also had insomnia.

It was only the first day he left, and he was already missing home and his little wife.

Moreover, ever since he was reborn, he never had insomnia anymore.

It was hard for him to fall asleep again, just like in his previous life.

He wasn’t used to not having his little wife lying beside him.

In the following days, Shi Qingluo went to the county town to buy a few ordinary chrysanthemums while she supervised the construction of their house.

She then grafted and grew a three-coloured chrysanthemum.

Afterwards, she brought along Mother Xiao and Xiao Erlang to plant all the bamboo shoots that she had nurtured in the vacant land on the mountain.

She even watered them with the spring water so that they would not die easily.

That day, she had just returned from her new residence.

When she reached home, she saw Bai Xu sitting in the courtyard.

When he saw her, his face was filled with excitement.

The corners of Shi Qingluo’s lips curled up. This fat sheep had arrived!
