The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 438
The moonlight shone silently along the window lattice.

On the wall by the window, hung a chic carved picture frame.

The photograph is in black and white and shows a young woman sitting on a garden swing with a little girl in her arms.

It seems to be summer, they are wearing thin dresses, and there are bright smiles on the corners of their mouths.

The flowers on the trees behind me were in full bloom, bending the branches.

In the moonlight, the faces of the mother and daughter were covered with a layer of fog-like light and shadow, showing the hazy beauty.

"This is a group photo of Miss Xiaomei and her mother. Why did they separate later?"

Qilan poked her head out, quietly looked at the photo for a while, and tears welled up in her eyes.

There were rustlings on the stairs, as if someone was there.Thoughts returned to reality.

He quickly stood up straight, held his breath, and listened to the movement outside the door.

Tens of seconds ago, as the door was gently pulled, the figures of the dean and his wife disappeared from the door in an instant.

"Dong dong!"

The dean walked in front, and his leather shoes stepped on the wooden floor heavily, which was especially loud in the quiet night.

The dean's wife pulled a woolen shawl that had slipped to her elbows, and was aggressive as soon as she entered the room:

"Mother Shi, are you confused? Why did it take so long to open the door? Can't you hear? Or is your master trying to freeze us to death?"

The old servant repeatedly rubbed his calloused hands on the apron, lowered his head and apologized:
"I'm sorry for the late opening. I beg your pardon, ma'am. I'm old and useless."

"Miss, she's sick and can't get up, and the fever can't go down. Don't take it wrong. I will apologize to you on her behalf."

She entered the living room, squinted at the patient lying on the sofa, and laughed gleefully:
"Hehe, are you lying still?"

"A few days ago, you were still full of energy and arguing with me? God knows if it's a real illness or a fake illness."

Her husband endured it for a moment, but could not bear it any longer, and roared angrily:
"Can't you just say a few words less! Patients need to be cared about, not upset!"

When Mrs. Dong saw that her husband had lost his temper, she also suppressed her anger in dismay.

She walked into the dining room alone, and saw some after-dinner snacks on the table, she was quite hungry.

Grabbed it bluntly and put it in his mouth, biting his mouth full to relieve his anger.

"Hmph, if you can't say enough, then eat enough."

After the training, the dean moved a rattan chair and sat down in front of the sofa.

First tested Xiaomei's body temperature, then looked at the medicine and water cups on the coffee table, confused for a while, and suddenly realized.

He swung the glass, causing water to splash everywhere.

"Mother Shi, how did you take the medicine tonight? A tablespoon of medicine is mixed with 500ml of water. This cup can hold 300ml at most, and you only drank less than half of it!"

Mama Shi's eyes were a little blurry.The ears are still sensitive.

But the dean's question made it difficult for her to speak.

I blamed myself for not knowing a single word of foreign language, so I got up in a hurry and had to leave the matter of feeding medicine to an outsider.It's really careless.

If you take a careless step, the fever will not go away.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'll feed the lady more water now"

The old servant was full of self-blame, and hurried in and out with small feet: serving tea for the dean and his wife, feeding Xiaomei with water, and applying towels. His steps became heavy along with his mood.

This cold and beautiful child like a wintersweet flower was brought up by her alone.When she first came here, she was still a little girl, not used to parting with her mother, and fell asleep every night when she was tired of crying in her arms.

Although she has never married and had children, Mama Shi loves Xiaomei as her own child and does her best.

Xiaomei also treats the kind old servant as the most caring relative in her indifferent home, caring for each other.

Enough water to feed it spoon by spoon.

After half an hour.

The patient's breathing became steady and his body temperature dropped.

She opened her eyes slightly, and instinctively held a rough and warm hand with her hands.

"Master, the lady's fever is gone!"

"The fever went away so quickly?"

Hearing Mama Shi's surprise cry, Mrs. Dong quickly swallowed half of the chestnut cake choked in her throat.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the cake crumbs on his lips, stepped on his high heels and returned to the living room.

"Your precious niece really knows how to live. If you move out to live by yourself, you will spend a lot of money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you don't get married, we won't be able to support her anymore."

These words were meant to be addressed to her husband, but in fact every word was aimed at Xiaomei intentionally.

She has endured her aunt's meanness and indifference for many years.

No matter how the other party owed her, Xiaomei had an indifferent expression on her face.

She woke up and said nothing.

"Wrong, her rent and expenses are all money left by her parents and earned from her own work. The patient is the biggest tonight, so don't disturb her rest."

Perhaps because of the severity of his niece's illness, the dean didn't say a word about the upcoming blind date, and warned his wife not to talk nonsense with cold eyes.

The three of them stood beside the sofa, surrounding Xiaomei who woke up.

No one noticed that the door of the big shoe cabinet opened quietly.

Behind the door, half a head appeared first, with anxious eyes, watching the patient's condition nervously.

Compared to Shi Ma's regret, Qin Feng's guilt is only a lot more.

Originally, he insisted that the old servant not answer the door.

But the dean's knocking on the door became louder and louder, and the dean's wife yelled loudly, threatening to call the police to pick the lock if he didn't open the door again, forcing him to back down.

"What if I really call the police and Sergeant Liu leads someone to run into me? He will have a clue in his hands from now on. It would be no wonder if he didn't do everything possible to beat me."

Some things cannot be delayed too much, and the result may be very different if one more second is added.

He stared into the eyes of the old servant, and pointed to the upstairs bedroom:
"Is there somewhere I can hide in this house?"

"The shoe cabinet in the living room, the table in the dining room are all fine." Shi Ma's eyes were calm and her tone was sincere, "You are neither fat nor thin, and if your legs shrink, it's no problem."

"Why can't you enter the bedroom?" He was still unwilling.

After all, it was worthwhile to take the opportunity to enter the bedroom to see what happened.

"Hey, I was cleaning this morning and accidentally lost the key. I have to wait for the lady to wake up and ask her to find another spare one before I can open it."

"Okay. I'll hide it first."

Too easy to spot under the table.It also looks like a dog, with indecent posture.

Qin Feng disdains this.Drill the shoe cabinet according to the method Shi Ma said.

There are five floors inside.The bottom floor is empty.

Except for five or six pairs of winter women's shoes, which were wiped clean inside and out, there were no other sundries.

He hugged his knees and shrank his neck and crawled in.

Not only does it sit perfectly, but the top of the head just wipes the partition.

The shoe cabinet was pitch black, and I couldn't stand it after sitting for a few minutes.

As long as she moves her hands and feet a little, she will knock over her neatly placed high heels.

After hiding for a while, when he heard the words of the dean and his wife, it was like claws scratching his heart.

"Mr. Dong is quite conscientious, and Mrs. Dong is extremely mean. There is no way to hide any longer. What if they don't leave until dawn?"

"Go upstairs quietly?"
