Chapter 86 Liu Chengyin

"Sister Yun is here to see your mother?"

When Yun Zhao arrived at Ergou's house, Ergou's wife was putting glue on the door frame, preparing to paste Spring Festival couplets. When she saw Yun Zhao coming, she quickly put down the bowl of glue and greeted him.

Yun Zhao walked up happily, picked up the rolled-up Spring Festival couplets on the bench and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you put up the Spring Festival couplets!"

Ergou's wife smiled and said, "You are not needed. Go and accompany your mother! If the little doctor calls you later, you will be out of time."

Yun Zhao put down the Spring Festival couplets with a smile, took out the two taels of silver given by Wang An from his pocket and said, "Sister-in-law, I appreciate you watching over my mother for me during this period. Please accept this little gift!"

Ergou's wife had never seen two taels of silver in her life, and she opened her mouth in surprise and said, "You can't do that! We are neighbors, how can we ask for money just to help each other out?"

Having said that, his hand took it uncontrollably.

In the room, Er Gou, who heard the word "silver", also jumped out, "Silver? What silver?"

He glanced and saw his wife dodge the silver in her hand. Then he saw Yun Zhao and understood immediately. He said in a fake tone: "Sister Yun, why are you being so polite? We all eat with the little doctor. We are all family. Who are you trying to slap in the face with the silver?"

Having said that, he smiled and stuffed the silver into his arms.

When Ergou’s wife saw it, she immediately pounced on it and tried to snatch it.

When Ergou refused to give it to him, the two men started fighting from inside the house.

Yun Zhao knew that the couple just had a playful nature and would not get really angry with each other, so he covered his mouth and laughed without paying any attention to them, and bent down to go into Ergou's house.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a wooden bed placed on the left side next to the stove. Yun is sitting up and searching for shoes with her small feet.

Although according to Wang An's previous life's standards, Yun's age was not too old, and her lung disease was almost cured, but her body had been weak for too long and she had not recovered yet, so she usually slept to rest.

As if he heard his daughter's voice, he hurriedly put on his shoes.

Yun Zhao hurried forward to help her put it on and said happily, "Mom, I'm here to take you back."

Unexpectedly, Yun, who had been smiling because her daughter came to visit, suddenly became unhappy and worried when she heard this.

Grabbing Yun Zhao's hand, he said earnestly, "When our family was in decline, we also employed a few servants. Have you ever seen anyone bring their family members back to celebrate the New Year during festivals?"

"Mom knows you love me, but you can't be so ignorant of the rules just because the little doctor is a good person!"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Mom, what are you talking about! It was the master who took the initiative to ask me to take you back. He also said that we will be a family from now on. Don't live in Brother Ergou's house anymore. Just live with the master from now on!"

As soon as these words came out, Yun was shocked and asked, "Did the little genius doctor really say that?"

Even Ergou and his wife forgot about fighting for the money and rushed over.

Yun Zhao didn't know why the three of them reacted so strongly, so he just said honestly: "Yes, how dare a daughter lie to her mother!"

Upon hearing this, Yun's face immediately showed joy. Ergou's wife even congratulated him directly, "Oh, sister Yun, you are so lucky! The little genius doctor has taken a liking to you!"

Ergou also laughed strangely and said, "We said that the little genius doctor is already seventeen, how can he not want a wife! It seems that he didn't like the girls in our Doujiafang before, but now he has fallen in love with Yunmei!" Ergou's wife echoed, "We said that the little genius doctor is not an ordinary person, his standards are very high!"

"Only a pretty girl like Sister Yun can make the little genius doctor fall in love with her!"

The two of them sang in unison, making Yun Zhao blush and said coquettishly: "Brother Ergou, Sister Ergou, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean the master likes me? The master is not that kind of person!"

"That kind of person?" Ergou refuted: "Even if he is a great saint, he still needs to marry a wife!"

He glanced at the silver in his hand and said with a chuckle, "Sister Yun, I think you've almost spent all your silver, right? You're selling your body and don't get paid, so where did you get these two taels?"

Yun Zhao hastily explained, "This was given to me by the master to thank you. I didn't steal it!"

The three people looked even more strange after hearing this. Ergou even grinned and said, "I paid you to take me home to live with you, and you also said that we will be a family in the future. I say, Sister Yun, you are not stupid, why can't you figure this out?"

Yun Zhaohu didn't know what he was thinking about for a moment, and his little face turned red as if blood was dripping.

At this time, Yun patted her hands and said, "Remember that your second mother was also a maid in the family. Your father also gave her a few taels of silver and asked her to take me in."

"Your second mother also thought your father was kindhearted, but what happened? Your second mother had just taken her old mother home, and your damned father climbed into her bed that very night!"

"Mom, the master is not that kind of person!" Yun Zhao still defended Wang An.

Yun said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Anyway, this little genius doctor looks promising and has good intentions. I didn't expect your father to be just pretending! If the little genius doctor really has this intention... I think it's a good destination for him. What do you think?"

"This..." Yun Zhao was embarrassed and conflicted, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ergou's wife encouraged him, "Sister Yun, what else do you want?"

"You don't know how many girls in Doujiafang have their eyes on the little doctor! He's handsome, kind-hearted, and most importantly, capable. Not only does he run a herbal medicine shop, but he's also opened a coal warehouse! Not to mention how many neighbors depend on the little doctor for their livelihood, even your brother Ergou has to rely on the little doctor to support him, and he can only eat meat during the New Year this year!"

"You are so lucky that such a capable person likes you!"

Ergou also followed suit, but he hit Yun Zhao in the heart: "Besides, you have already sold yourself to the little genius doctor. If you don't marry him in this life, you will either be alone for the rest of your life, or marry a servant when you are old and ugly. Think about it yourself."

"Is it better to be a mistress, or to marry a servant when you are old and ugly?"

These words were like a wake-up call, and Yun Zhao fell silent.

If it weren't for the repeated persuasion from three people, including her mother, Yun Zhao might not have thought so much, and would not have thought that Wang An had any feelings towards her.

But since even my mother feels that Wang An has something in common with her, maybe... the master really has feelings for me?

Yun Zhao was still young after all, with relatively simple thoughts, and he was extremely confused for a moment.

Fortunately, I remembered that Wang An said he would come back early to buy New Year's goods, so I simply put all these things behind me, helped Yun to stand up and said, "I really appreciate the care of Brother Ergou and Sister-in-law during this period. We will go back first."

Ergou and his wife both laughed and said, "Go quickly, we'll be busy today on New Year's Eve!"
