Previously, when Luo Manman was black and thin, it was normal for Xiao Yiming to have no appetite for food, but later on, Luo Manman became white and tender, and her appearance was also delicate and pretty.

I heard that if the two of them sleep in the same kang, then they won't be able to eat.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Niang's face turned green, the old rumors stopped, and new rumors started spreading again.

"What's going on, let's not talk about it. What? Xiao Niang said you got a sore spot, you must be angry out of embarrassment, right?"

Auntie Qiu gritted her teeth as she spoke. A few days ago, her daughter had returned home crying and complaining, "Mother, if Xiao Yiming is no longer humane, will you still support your daughter marrying him?"

Auntie Qiu said, "Then why don't you marry a P.?" Although the Xiao family's silver taels were coveted by others, they couldn't allow their daughter to marry a fake eunuch and ruin her life of happiness.

"I say, the two aunts really like to gossip too much. This is a matter of the Xiao family. What does it have to do with you?"

Liu Shan was a tall and sturdy man, when he opened his eyes, they were filled with killing intent, scaring the two women so much that they immediately shut their mouths.

Sanniang hurriedly filled up the well and looked at Liu Shan guiltily. He then quickly took the wooden bucket and left.

Xiao Niang walked far away while carrying a wooden bucket, but Liu Shan didn't forget to glare at him.

"Auntie Qiu, your mouth is notoriously stinky in the village. Can you please speak less and let me hear you say that the Xiao family is not as good as you think? I'll beat you up if you don't believe me!"

Liu Shan waved his carrying pole and was about to hit her. This frightened Auntie Qiu to the point that he dodged a few steps with the bucket. The water in the bucket was all on the ground and his cloth shoes were all wet.

"What has it got to do with you? "Mind your own business."

Auntie Qiu said in a low voice, but it was still heard by Liu Shan. His tall figure turned around, and raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "What did you say?"

His mouth did not forget what he was saying, "If you can't be human, you can't be. If you're sick, you have to be cured. What kind of logic is that? Hmph …"

It had been more than ten years since Xiao Niang picked up a bucket of water and walked back with it.

"So heavy." Xiao Niang gasped for breath, he was truly old, it was no longer useful, picking out water would be a waste.

Previously, when Xiao Yiming moved his legs nimbly, he did all the heavy work of carrying water, chopping wood, growing vegetables, and drying wood.

When Xiao Yiming fell, it was tantamount to his family's pillar falling.

The cloth shoes bent and twisted on the dirt road in the country, and the two buckets on the pole rose and fell unevenly.

Fortunately, Xiao Family Courtyard was not far away. She heaved a sigh of relief.

His legs softly stepped across the doorstep, as if he was stepping on cotton. The carrying pole tilted and got stuck at the door, but Xiao Niang still didn't notice, and continued to step forward.

With a clang, a bucket of water fell to the ground, splashing water all over.

The barrel spun on the ground and the other bucket on his shoulder fell. Xiao Niang quickly reached out to catch it, preventing the bucket from being overturned.

Suddenly, he heard a cry and dodged to the side. His hand subconsciously loosened his grip, and another bucket of water was poured out, rolling on the ground and dripping with water.

"Aiyo, my waist." Xiao Niang covered his waist and shouted, this was the result of him not doing any heavy work for a long time.

Xiao Niang's waist was not too good, upon hearing that he had twisted himself into a position, he anxiously moved his body, wanting to get off the brick bed, but was stopped by Xiao Niang: "Yuming, don't get off the brick bed, Mother is fine."

With one hand on his waist, Xiao Niang walked inside the house while sweating profusely. He then laughed, "Mother is fine, don't make such a big fuss. Wait, Mother will cook for you."

He went to the kitchen and bent over to scoop up water and rice. He couldn't hold on much longer and found a stool to sit on for a while. He felt much better, but when he bent over to do something, his waist began to hurt.

It was fine for him to just sit there and walk, but it was painful to the point of doing anything. Xiao Niang looked like he had to go to regular doctor's house and take a look.

When he returned to regular doctor's house, he found Xiao Niang carrying a bag of medicine. It was for eating, and he had applied a thick layer of ointment on his waist to bind it, making him feel much better.

Last time, she still owed him a lot of money, so she felt really bad. regular doctor gave her thousands of instructions, telling her to rest more and do less work. How could she accept this, her son was still lying in kang waiting for her to eat … In an instant, the sky seemed to have caved in.

Xiao Niang clenched his teeth and endured the pain as he cooked lunch. The dishes were from yesterday, they were served to Xiao Yiming after getting hot, and he couldn't starve his son to death.

He staggered back to his room and laid down on the kang. He could not get up again …

The Xiao family sank into darkness …

Mo Residence

Wang Daogu was responsible for sending the message, and was busy looking for his everywhere. In the courtyard, in the abandoned pavilion, there were no traces of her.

Finally, in a spacious and bright hall, he saw Mo Qing and Luo Manman sitting together, drinking tea and eating dessert, leisurely discussing something.

Wang Daogu was so anxious that his eyebrows were burning. The Xiao Family's children and widows had all fallen, yet this Master Luo still had the mood to drink tea?

With his life hanging by a thread, Wang Daogu did not care about being disrespectful at all. His coarse clothes were stained with dust and he did not have time to throw them out as he rushed in shouting: "Master Luo, no good, the Xiao Family is about to lose their lives."

"Impudent! Do you not understand etiquette? Are you blind? Didn't you see that young master is busy with Master Luo? " The gatekeeper shouted loudly.

"Master Luo, something big is about to happen." Wang Daogu turned a deaf ear to the question. If he could get Luo Manman to go back, then he would lose his job.

Mo Qing made a gesture, signaling the butler to retreat. He folded his fan, looked at Luo Manman meaningfully, and walked out with large strides, leaving her with the space to settle her personal affairs.

"Big Brother Wang, do you know how reckless you are? Will you lose your job?" Luo Manman put down the teacup in her hand, and frowned.

"I can't care so much. Master Luo, something big has happened to the Xiao family." The anxiety in his eyes didn't seem fake.

"What now?"

"Xiao Niang got down to his waist yesterday, and is currently lying on the ground in so much pain that he can't get up. Xiao Yiming has no one to take care of him, the two of them have been hungry for an entire day and have not eaten.

"If the neighbors hadn't found out and made some hot food and sent it over, they might have starved to death a few days later."

"Enough, stop talking. I don't want to hear anything about the Xiao family. How is it unrelated to me? If Big Brother Wang is really worried about the Xiao family, why didn't you ask your relatives to help you take care of it?"

"The relatives of the Xiao family are all distant relatives, they drew a clear line between them and the Xiao family. They didn't care about their lives for a long time, Master Luo, are you really going to sit here and do nothing? Can your conscience rest? "

Luo Manman frowned. Why do you think that she is the only person supporting the Xiao Family in everything that has happened, "Big Brother Wang, don't say anymore, you can't just rely on me for whatever reason. I'm just an outsider, and am still busy here, so I won't nag along with you."

Seeing that Luo Manman's back was moving further and further away, Wang Daogu shouted, "Master Luo, don't forget that you are the Xiao family's nominal daughter-in-law. If the Xiao family is in trouble, you have the responsibility to take care of them …"

This voice disturbed everyone. They said that they had cut off all connections with the Xiao family, but when they heard the current predicament of the Xiao family, they couldn't help but worry. They imagined how miserable it would be with no one to take care of them.

"If you want to go, go. Mo Residence's recovery isn't too far off anyway." A warm and clear voice came from above his head. Luo Manman raised his head and saw Mo Qing smiling at her from the corner of her eyes.

"I... I do not wish to delay the progress of the renovation of Mo Residence. " Luo Manman could not come up with such a crappy reason. Her heart was in a mess, she wanted peace and quiet.

"Master Luo, although you speak so heartlessly, your eyes betrayed you. Go if you want to, and it wasn't in vain for me to go to the brothel and report the threat of destroying my illustrious name to help you settle the conflict with the Xiao family."

Mo Qing said it calmly and casually, and as he spoke of this insignificant matter, it caused a thousand ripples in Luo Manman's heart, "So the reason Yan mama went to the Xiao Family to explain everything, was all because of you, Young Master?"

"What do you think?" Mo Qing shrugged his shoulders, his tone turning from a sunny youth into a thug in an instant.

"Why does the Young Master want to help me?" Luo Manman stared fixedly at his clear eyes, not letting go of the slightest movement on his face.

The corner of Mo Qing's mouth twitched, and then he laughed heartily, "Every time I see you, I think of my little sister who is far away in the capital.

Mo Qing was the son of the prefect, but he did his best to keep his identity a secret. At least, no one in the Wuzhen knew his true identity.

Who told him to not love the officials and love the business path? After performing the coronation ceremony, he asked the Prefect for permission to enter the sect and use his own abilities to make a name for himself.

At first, the old man didn't really support his son's idea, but in the end, he was convinced by his firm decision. Seeing that he wanted to take over Wuzhen, he bought this luxurious house for him.

"Then, thank you young master. I'll head over to the Xiao family now. If you have any questions regarding the subsequent renovation of the manor, inform me immediately."

"Alright, alright, is there still so many workers in Mo Residence? "Go busy yourself. After the mansion is repaired, I will send someone to deliver the money to you."

To be able to meet such a good boss, how fortunate was it? This boy, who was as warm as the little brother next door, made Luo Manman's heart warm up once again.

After thanking him, Luo Manman packed his backpack and quickly got on a carriage of donkey cart and drove towards Nanshan Village.

Her heart thumped wildly in nervousness along the way. It had been almost two months since she left the Xiao family. The mountain winds on the way seemed unfamiliar. Even though they had traveled for nearly two hours, it was still a long journey.

"That's right, Xiao Family Wife, she seems to have changed a lot. Look at her clothes, look at the fabric, it's not bad at all."
