Chapter 381
Xia Qingsang felt that the number of drug boys in this shop lay not in the abundance, but in the quality.If a clever drug boy can use one for two, it will be much better than those drug boys who are sloppy and useless.

Based on this principle, Xia Qingsang had to be careful when selecting the drug boy.It took about half a month for Xia Qingsang to select a total of ten drug boys. One can imagine how carefully selected they were.

Most of these medicine boys can not only identify all kinds of herbs, some even know how to treat diseases, but they are not very proficient.So I want to come to Rong An Tang to continue my studies.

If the drug boys in Rong'an Hall do well and perform well, they can become apprentices in the pharmacy.

With so many drug boys suddenly added to the shop, no matter how busy they can be.There was no need for Qiulin to bother to catch the medicine.It's just that the burden on Xia Yan's body is still relatively heavy, and he can only lighten it up after those apprentices have completed their studies.

Instead of helping in the pharmacy, Qiulin was only busy with the things in the yard, and life gradually became easier.At this time, Qiulin was thinking about the busy days in the past.

Although that day was very busy, it felt very fulfilling, and the days were always full.It felt a little out of place when I was suddenly idle.It's just that there are so many medicine boys in the shop now, there is no need for her to dispense medicine herself.Xia Yan doesn't know how to diagnose pulse and disease.I'm afraid it will add to the chaos when I go back.

After the days became more leisurely, Qiulin often went to the workshop, Heyi's house, and Liu'er's house.Heyi was married to a teacher in the town before, and her yard is not too far from their Xiafu.And Liu'er's house is a little further away, so Qiulin usually goes to Heyi's house for a lot of walking.

He Yi is now the mother of two children, so her waist is naturally much fuller than when she was at home.The whole person looks round, white and tender, with a more aura of wealth than when he was a aunt at home when he was young.

It's just that his temperament hasn't changed much, he is still gentle and gentle, and treats others amiably.Her husband is a teacher, and he drank a lot of ink, but the two of them treated each other with respect.The agreeable mother-in-law and father-in-law are relatively easy to get along with, and they don't wear small shoes for the daughter-in-law, so the agreeable life is still relatively comfortable.

In comparison, Liu'er is worse than He Yi.She married a young man from a wealthy family as a daughter-in-law.There are the most powerful parents-in-law at the top of the family, and the two sister-in-laws above are also tricky and aggressive, but Liu'er is the kind of gentle and gentle person, so he is naturally the target of being bullied by everyone.

It would be fine if Liu'er's husband defended her, but at first the young master liked Liu'er and treated her tenderly, and at that time the two of them got along like a sweetheart.

It's just that the good times didn't last long. After Liu'er gave birth, her figure was out of shape.Naturally, her face is not as charming and beautiful as it used to be.Youdao said that the color fades and the love relaxes, and the little prince becomes more and more distant from Liu'er day by day.Having fun with those concubines and maidservants in the mansion, Liu'er was left aside.

Now without her husband's favor, Liu'er's life at her in-law's house is even more difficult.Coupled with her own cowardly character, now even a little girl can ride on her head and play wild.

Qiulin didn't know Liu'er's situation in this family before. When Liu'er went back to the village during the holidays, she always laughed at everyone. Wronged.She didn't want her family to worry about her.

After Qiulin knew about Liu'er's situation, she also persuaded her to make peace with the young master.But Liu'er was reluctant to part with her child, if she left the child in her in-law's house, her husband would definitely marry a new wife in the future.Wouldn't it mean to toss the child to death if he left the child in this house?
For the sake of the child, Liu'er could only endure such torture.

After hearing this, Qiulin was greatly moved, this is the greatness of maternal love!

Qiulin didn't come to see Liu'er very often, because the family was always full of rejection and contempt for Liu'er's relatives and friends, and Qiulin really didn't want to endure the strange eyes of these people.

Sometimes she also wanted to help Liu'er, but she didn't know where to start.Tell Liu Erniang?I'm afraid that if Liu Erniang finds out, it will only make her feel like colic, but it won't change the essence.Furthermore, Liu'er herself didn't want to leave her husband's house, nor her own child.And his in-law's family can be considered a wealthy and prestigious family in this area, so naturally they wouldn't let Liu'er take their grandson away.

As a result, Qiulin really didn't know how to help.

Seeing the former sisters reduced to such a situation now, Qiulin felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do to help her. These days, she has been entangled in this matter and worried about Liu'er's situation.

Xia Yan also felt that Qiu Lin had been depressed these days, as if he was troubled by something.He doesn't pay attention to anyone when talking to her, and looks like he's wandering away at any time.It's just that he is busy with the things in the shop during the day, and he can find time at night.

After everyone had dinner that night, Qiu Lin called Xia Yan water for washing his face and feet.It's getting dark now, it's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the room still feels a bit stuffy, Xia Yan went over and opened a wooden window to let the wind blow in, and the room felt less stuffy some.

Qiu Lin walked over and turned on the kerosene lamp in the room. Under the light, her and Xia Yan's shadows overlapped together, like a pair of mandarin ducks crossing their necks.

Xia Yan's heart was moved when he saw it, and he walked over and gently plucked Qiu Lin's hanging hair, and then gently hugged her in his arms.

Qiu Lin was embraced by Xia Yan, and her heart also trembled.Qiulin stared softly at the bean-like candlelight in front of him, and his heart became soft.

Xia Yan's throat twitched, and he put his arms around Qiu Lin and asked, "A Lin, you're all depressed right now, but if there's anything bothering you, tell me."

In fact, Xia Yan wanted to ask a long time ago, but he has been busy. Since returning to the house, the opportunities for him and Qiu Lin to open their hearts to each other like this are few and far between.

Only in such a quiet night, did the two of them have such an opportunity to be alone together.

For a moment, Xia Yan missed the days in Luoshui Village very much.Everyone went to climb trees to pick fruits, go to the river to grill fish, pick straw mushrooms in the forest, and move crabs by the stream.The days of idle clouds and wild cranes are really fascinating!
Qiulin didn't expect that Xia Yan was busy all day, but he didn't relax his attention to her.At this time, Qiulin felt moved again.

In fact, it is not flowers and diamonds that can move a woman's heart. Sometimes just a word, a gesture, or a smile can make a woman's heart as sweet as drinking honey.

"Hey," Qiulin sighed. Compared with her own life, Liu'er had a much harder life than her.It's not that Qiulin is sentimental, it's just that Liu'er is a sister who grew up with her after all. When she was in Luoshui Village in the past, the daughters of several families were so nice.Now that she is in such a situation, Qiulin always feels a little uncomfortable.

"Do you still remember that Liu'er in our village, she was white and thin. She married a wealthy family in the town that year. At first, her husband-in-law treated her well, but now Liu'er has given birth to a child and is out of shape , her husband-in-law despises her. Now her husband-in-law has married several concubines, and even allows these concubines and maids to bully Liu'er." The more Qiu Lin spoke, the more angry and heartbroken she felt.

A beautiful woman like Liu'er was ruined by such a scumbag in the end.If it's a reconciliation, Liu'er is reluctant to bear the child; if it's not, Liu'er will probably live in the mud all her life, and never see the shining golden sun behind the dark clouds again.

"Liu'er has been tortured like this, but she still refuses to make peace with that scumbag. She doesn't want to leave her child, for fear that he will be abused by the stepmother. Not to mention that the family will agree to Liu'er taking the child away. Liu'er is also unwilling to take the child away because she doesn't want others to gossip about the child and say that he has no father." Speaking of this, Qiulin felt heartbroken, angry, and a little bit resentful Meaning of steel.

But this matter is indeed so nerve-wracking that people really don't know what to do.

Xia Yan noticed Qiu Lin's vicious and heartfelt tone, and knew that she felt uncomfortable and felt wronged for her sister. "Alin, I know you are complaining about what happened to Liu'er, but isn't this all Liu'er's own choice? After all, this is just their family's chores, so what can we interfere? Alin , you don’t want to think about it. The most important thing about this matter is Liu’er, and it depends on how she chooses. Since ancient times, you can’t have both.”

After listening to Xia Yan's words, Qiu Lin felt as if he was enlightened immediately.But that's not the case.Since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paw.If Liu'er wants to take care of herself, she has to give up some things, this is an eternal truth!

After hearing Xia Yan's words, Qiu Lin is no longer entangled.Because Liu'er can make a choice, since she chose to stay and endure such pain, what can she say?Xia Yan's words made Qiulin suddenly enlightened, and he stopped worrying about whether Liu'er is doing well now.

Qiu Lin nodded, turned around and hugged Xia Yan instead.At this moment, the brows that were originally slightly raised have been relaxed, and the smile has become brighter. "Brother Xia Yan, I understand. Hey, I really don't want to be a eunuch in a hurry. Since Liu'er chose to stay and look after the child, what's my business? But I'd better visit her more in the future." , it can bring her some comfort. Let her feel more at ease."

Qiulin felt that the most important thing was that Liu'er had to change her attitude, so that she wouldn't let others ride on her head and do her best!
