BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152 - 152 Relations Improvement
Qiao Changshun promptly responded, “I will let Dami get a doctor, and in the meantime, I will heat some water.”
“Dami and I will go together.” Tong Sanlang bent down to pick up Qiao Dami, “Dami, let’s go.”
Qiao Dami nodded enthusiastically, his tiny arms wrapped around Tong Sanlang’s neck, “Brother Tong, let’s go.”
Qiao Changshun watched their figures as they left, offering no objections.
He had been hoping for Tong Sanlang’s assistance all along, so he was pleased that the young man was willing to help.
Things are moving in the right direction—he thought.
Any other young man might have been embarrassed and declined to involve himself in such matters, but Tong Sanlang had taken the initiative.
This is promising!
With that in mind, Qiao Changshun headed into the kitchen to heat water for Qiao Xiaomai.
After half an hour, Tong Sanlang and Qiao Dami returned, but Doctor Wu wasn’t with them.
“I told Doctor Wu about Xiaomai’s symptoms, he said it’s not serious, some herbal medicine should do the trick,” Tong Sanlang said, holding three packets of herbs.
“I will prepare the medicine right away.” Qiao Changshun nodded.
Qiao Dami hopped off Tong Sanlang and bounced into the room, calling out, “Sis! Sis!”
Qiao Xiaomai was lying in bed, covered by a quilt with only her pale face showing, asked, “What is it?”
“Brother Tong bought you medicine. It cost one hundred and sixty-three copper coins. Hand me the coins, and I’ll give them to him,” Qiao Dami said with a concerned look. “Sis, are you feeling better? Don’t worry, Dad is preparing the medicine right now.”
Qiao Xiaomai responded and took out one string of coins.
“You can give it to him yourself.”
“Wow, Sis, you hide the coins under your quilt?” asked Qiao Dami, with surprise on his face.
Qiao Xiaomai closed her eyes, hummed an acknowledgment, and said, “You better go.”
Qiao Dami picked up the string of coins, dashed over to Tong Sanlang and told him, “Brother Tong, you count it!”
Tong Sanlang playfully tousled his hair, counted a hundred and sixty-three coins, threaded the rest back onto the string, and handed it back to him. “Give this to your sister and let her keep it safe. You go and prepare the medicine. Let your Dad cook. Your sister is weak, you should help out more around the house. Got it?”
“Got it!” Qiao Dami replied loudly.
He had always been a diligent boy who never shirked his duties.
“Good boy.” said Tong Sanlang with a light smile. He took out three coins and gave them to Qiao Dami. “Here, buy yourself something you like.”
Qiao Dami looked at the three coins and then back at his father in the kitchen, “Dad, Brother Tong gave me coins for spending!”
“Well, you keep it then, don’t be shy with your Brother Tong.” Qiao Changshun’s voice contained a hint of glee.
Look, he’s even giving Dami some pocket money now. Their relationship is advancing rapidly today!
Qiao Dami accepted the coins happily, thanking Tong Sanlang loudly.
Tong Sanlang ruffled his hair again and then excused himself, turning to leave.
It was noon now; he needed to get back home.
Not only did he have to deal with his family’s inquiries, but he also had to clean off the bloodstain.
Darn it, he had been foolish earlier, thinking that the scent lingering on Qiao Xiaomai was that of a virgin’s. Given Xiaomai’s abilities, it wouldn’t be strange for her to have incense at hand.
He had let himself be sidetracked by the idea of virginity.
Although, he hadn’t spent much time around girls… maybe it was time for him to start thinking about marriage?
Tong Sanlang walked back to the Tong Family estate in a state of chagrin. Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family didn’t look happy. Their son had spent too much time chasing after Qiao Xiaomai.. That flirtatious vixen truly knew how to ensnare men!
