Chapter 112 Good Stepmother

Lu Jiaxin learned Baduanjin, and Master Qian was ready to leave. Not going back to my hometown, but going to the Northeast to meet an old friend.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Master Qian, when will you come back?"

Master Qian said he would stay there for a while: "My old friend is sick, and he probably won't come here before the end of the year. If it's early, it'll be after the Lantern Festival, if it's late, it'll be April or May."

This time I went not only to see old friends but also to catch up on some old things. It will be difficult to travel far away in a few years, so while you are still able to travel, go visit these old friends and solve some problems, so that you will not leave any regrets.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Master Qian, I hope you can come back soon. I have something else I want you to do."

Master Qian was still happy to work for Lu Jiaxin, so he paid him two hundred for helping to find a middleman. He speaks openly and generously, and he likes employers like this: "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to visit the ancient capital. But don't be in a hurry. We'll talk about it after you come back from the northeast."

"OK."

Lu Jiaxin thought that her health was not good, so she said: "Master Qian, there are many precious medicinal materials in the Northeast. My health needs improvement. If I come across precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers, I hope you can help me buy them."

Master Qian said seriously: "Miss Lu, children should not take supplements casually. Overdosing will cause big problems. This is the case with a relative of a friend of mine. Because they didn't understand these things, they gave their six-year-old daughter velvet antler, and the medicine turned out to be too strong for the child. I can’t stand that my intelligence is stuck at seven years old.”

Lu Jiaxin still knows whether he is weak or not: "Master Qian, don't worry, I won't eat randomly, I will ask the doctor before."

Master Qian felt relieved after saying this: "If you can trust me, give me five thousand yuan first. When we get there, I'll ask someone to inquire, and I should be able to buy some."

He has traveled far and wide and has gained a lot of knowledge, and he has learned a lot about precious medicinal materials such as wild ginseng and wild deer antlers. Hunters who have less money will keep some for their own use. I don’t dare to guarantee that there will be more, but it’s okay to get some for Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Master Qian, you are out of touch when you say this. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't ask you to help find someone to investigate Ding Jing."

Master Qian left the next day. When they said goodbye, Qian Xiaoxiao waved his hand very gracefully: "Old man, bring back more good medicinal materials to make wine!"

Seeing how relaxed she was, Xue Mao couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you reluctant at all?"

After asking, I found out that Master Qian worked outside when he was young, and later when he got married and had children, he spent most of his time outside. It wasn't until she was one year old that her grandmother died of illness, her father broke his leg in an accident, and her mother remarried, so Master Qian never left the house again. But five years ago, he started going out frequently again.

Xue Mao's mouth was faster than his brain: "Are your parents still there?"

When he saw Qian Xiaoxiao following Master Qian, he thought that her parents were gone just like him. But it's normal for him to think so. Normally parents wouldn't let their daughters run away all over the world.

Qian Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, "My father broke his leg, and my mother heard people said that the injury could not be cured and she would be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life, so she took the family's money and ran back to her parents' house. Within a few days, she remarried to the next town. I Dad didn’t want to live at that time, but he couldn’t let me go. He was afraid that no one would care about me if I died. At this time, my grandfather came back. He took my dad to the provincial capital for treatment. He stayed in the hospital for more than two months and returned home. After raising her for more than a year, my grandfather asked a matchmaker to find him a wife. "

Seeing that there was no gloom on her face, Xue Mao asked curiously, "Didn't your stepmother abuse you?"

Qian Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, not all stepmothers are bad. She is very good and treats me like her own daughter."

Of course, there are also annoying aspects: "My mother likes to talk about me, saying that I don't look like a girl and it will be difficult to get married in the future. I don't like to hear her talk, so I live with my father."

Master Qian had an eccentric temperament. After his son remarried, he moved out and lived alone. Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoxiao was influenced by him to like martial arts and endure hardships. Seeing that she was good-natured, Master Qian taught her. After that, the grandfather and grandson lived together.

Xue Mao thought she was quite lucky. "What about your biological mother?"

Qian Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "Before I was seven years old, I always thought that I was born by my current mother. I didn't know until I was seven that she was not. My father said that you don't have to worry about the aftermath of the kiss. The most important thing is to be good to me. , so it didn’t affect my relationship with my mother.”

"Last year, my biological mother suddenly came to see me as a corpse, saying that she had no choice but to think about me day and night since she left. I don't care what her reasons were, since she abandoned me back then, I will treat her as dead. , don’t appear in front of me in the future.”

To be able to say such free and easy words, one must either have a strong heart or receive enough love. Lu Jiaxin felt that she had both.

Xue Mao praised: "Then your dad is very good, unlike Sister Xin's father. After getting married, my wife no longer loves Sister Xin, and even she was harmed to the point of almost losing her life without pursuing any investigation."

Qian Xiaoxiao said without thinking: "Then treat him as dead."

Lu Jiaxin couldn't help laughing after hearing this. These words really touched her heart: "You are right, just treat him as dead."

At dinner time, Xiao Qiu and Lu Jiaxin said, "Sister-in-law Wu just called back and said that she was going to see a house and asked us not to wait for her at dinner."

Ma Lili just came back. As soon as she got home, she went to find Lu Jiaxin and told her about the house she looked at today: "The house is not as big as yours, but it is also a detached house, with four large rooms, plus a kitchen and firewood room. It's just that in It's quite far away from you in Dongcheng District, and the price offered by the other party is very high, 8,600."

Being able to come and tell her means that he likes it, but he is still hesitant for some reason. Lu Jiaxin asked: "Does it come with a courtyard?"

"Yes, but it's only half the size of yours."

Nowadays, the rooms in a siheyuan are generally very spacious. Four rooms plus a courtyard and a kitchen and firewood room are definitely more than 120 square meters. Dongcheng is in the second ring road, and the price of 8,600 is relatively high, but it is definitely worth buying.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "How is the house preserved? If it's like mine, I can take it. If it's shabby, I'll have to bargain for it. It will cost money to repair the house."

Ma Lili said, "The house is about the same as you, and it's even better in some places. It's just that it's too far from here and it's over my budget."

Lu Jiaxin knew that she was struggling with the price, so she smiled and said, "There are many buses now, and it's very quick to get there by bus. Don't worry about exceeding the budget. Su Heming told me on the phone a few days ago that the fifth brother is doing a good job. If the fifth brother wants to work in his electronics factory, he will pay him three hundred yuan a month."

This is to tell Ma Lili that Lu Jiajie has the ability to repay the money, and he can pay off the foreign debt of three or four thousand in one year.
