Steward Yu was happy, but Xia Jin added another thought.

In the memory of the original owner, due to Mrs. Xia's harsh treatment and Xia Zhengshen's slamming of the door, Sanfang has always been financially constrained, otherwise Xia Zhengqian and Shu would not even be able to take a decent thing as a decent thing today-except for the jade pendant-and therefore, they developed the habit of Xia Zhengqian and Shu's frugality.

If she didn't take out the dozens of taels of silver in her arms, it would be difficult for Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi to rent a house with a rent of five taels of silver a month when they had no money for food.

Let's try it first.

She sighed.

Back at the Xia family's old house, Xia Jin unexpectedly found that Xing Qingsheng was present. Only then did she remember that she didn't see Xing Qingsheng in Renhetang today.

She arched her hand and asked, "Senior brother, why are you here?" ”

Without waiting for Xing Qingsheng to speak, Xia Zhengqian replied with relief: "Your senior brother heard from the patient what happened just now, so he quickly quit his job at Renhetang and rushed over to help. ”

Xia Jin looked at Xing Qingsheng in surprise.

This senior brother, she knows is a good one. During her stay in Renhetang, he took care of her many times, and asked for warmth every day. But she thinks it's just based on the fact that there is no gain or loss.

She has seen too many betrayals in her previous life, which one is as close as husband and wife, brother and sister, father and son, mother and daughter, or the closest friends. But once a certain amount of interests is involved, they will tear off the veil of warmth, show their sharp fangs, and stage one big drama after another.

Not to mention. Xia Zhengqian and Xing Qingsheng are just a simple master-apprentice relationship, and Xing Qingsheng also graduated from the teacher a year and a half ago.

According to Xia Jin's malicious speculation about human nature, Xing Qingsheng had no reason to leave Renhetang. Because his own family conditions are not good - although his father is a showman. died early, and there was only one widowed mother in the family. The family has no permanent property, and over the years, his widowed mother has relied on needlework to bring him up.

Now, his mother's eyes are no longer good, and the two live on the meager income that Xing Qingsheng earned in Renhetang. That's not a lot of money. But it's stable. Although Xing Qingsheng's reputation is not obvious, his medical skills are good. Xia Zhengshen in order to keep him. and did not dare to deduct him from the monthly money.

In a situation like his family, even if Xing Qingsheng has a very good conscience and is willing to repay Xia Zhengqian's kindness, he should find a house in Xia Zhengqian. The medical clinic opened was stable, and after I had the ability to hire a helper and could afford a certain amount of monthly money, I resigned from Renhetang and went to Xinglin Hall to help.

But I didn't want him to come over in such a hurry.

"Senior brother, when you came in the morning, you didn't expect us to move again, right? Now I haven't even found a house, let alone opened a medical center, alas......" Xia Jin looked depressed. A deep sigh.

Not long after Xing Qingsheng arrived, he was greeting Xia Zhengqian and Shu's body, and he hadn't talked about substantive topics yet. Now listen to Xia Jin mention this. He hurriedly reached out and touched it in his arms, and took out a purse.

But this time, he suddenly became embarrassed, his eyes didn't dare to look at Xia Zhengqian, his face was flushed, he handed him the purse, and said softly: "Master." This is the little savings I have saved in the past two years, although it is very small. It's just a few hundred dollars, but it's also a little bit of heart. Don't be too little, use it first. ”

Xia Jin didn't know, but Xia Zhengqian knew his apprentice deeply. Xing Qingsheng's blushing was because he felt ashamed that he had little money and couldn't help his master.

This child, although his family is poor, is a character who values righteousness over wealth!

"Does your mother know about this?" He asked.

Xing Qingsheng nodded: "I know." Part of this money was given to me by my mother, saying that you would save the master. ”

Although this amount of money is nothing, Xia Zhengqian doesn't want to flick this part of his mind.

He took the purse and said with a smile: "Celebrating a birthday is really a charcoal in the snow, we are worried that we have no money to rent a house." ”

Seeing that his little money could really help the master, Xing Qingsheng was extremely happy, and the sense of shame just now disappeared in an instant. He looked around in high spirits and said, "Master, what else do you have to pack?" I'm going to help. ”

Xia Zhengqian waved his hand: "No." There are not many things, it is enough for the subordinates to clean up. ”

At this time, Shu Shi probably heard the report from the next person, Xia Jin came back, and hurriedly walked out of the door and asked Xia Jin, "How is it?" Is there a suitable house? ”

Xia Jin didn't answer immediately, looked up at Xia Zhengqian, and asked, "Didn't Daddy find a good one?" ”

"I found two middle-aged people, and as soon as I mentioned the conditions, they shook their heads, saying that they didn't have a house with a door face and such a cheap price. I didn't have a face, but I went to see two or three places, which were about the same size as our small courtyard, and they cost one or two or eight dollars a month. I took a look and it seemed that the people living around were very mixed and not very safe. ”

Xia Zhengqian said, and glanced at Xia Jin deeply.

Xia Jin ran around in men's clothes like this, and he was very worried about his daughter's safety. It's just that his daughter came back from the dead, and after coming back to life, she was estranged from him and Shu for a long time, and she slowly got better for a while. He is a person who feels sorry for his children and doesn't want his daughter to be depressed. Therefore, he did not use coercive means to lock his daughter in the house. What he can do is to take safety into account when choosing a house. lest when her daughter goes in and out of the house, she will always meet those who are not careful.

Xia Jin saw that Xia Zhengqian's gaze at him was quite meaningful, thinking back to the information conveyed in his words, and immediately understood what Xia Zhengqian was thinking.

She was moved in her heart.

"Why don't you go to my house first?" Xing Qingsheng said suddenly.

The three members of the Xia family were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and their expressions softened.

Xia Zhengqian sighed infinitely.

Although he is not the son of the old lady, he has the blood of the Xia family in his body. Otherwise, the old lady would not have taken him back to the Xia family, and forced the old lady to raise him as his own son. In other words, even if he and Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao are not mothers, they are also brothers; And they have lived together for more than 30 years, and their feelings are not deep.

But now, the eldest brother wants to kick them out, and the second brother ignores them; The apprentices who are not related by blood at all take out all their savings to help them, and they still want to take them in. The comparison between the two compartments, how can it not make people feel sad and emotional?

Xing Qingsheng's home, Xia Jin naturally never went there. In order to test whether he really wanted to take him in, she smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't laugh, how can you live in your house?" There are more than a dozen of us. Although I am down, but those people have been following my father and my mother, and some are still my mother's companions, like our relatives, there is no reason to leave them at this time, and we will find a place to live by ourselves. ”

Before Xing Qingsheng could speak, Xia Zhengqian smiled and said, "Brother Qi, have you forgotten?" Your senior brother's family lives in an ancestral house, and there are seven or eight houses. After the death of your uncle, your aunt has been reluctant to sell the house, and she is afraid that people will talk too much, so she refuses to rent out the house. If a dozen of us go over and squeeze in, we can live in it. ”

"Exactly." When Xing Qingsheng heard this, he seemed very happy, and turned his head to Shu Shi and said, "Senior Lady, you take your junior sister to live in the inner courtyard, and I will move out to live in the outer courtyard with my master and junior brother." The subordinates were more obedient and lived in a row of small houses outside. Speaking of this, his eyes were shining, and he said to Xia Zhengqian, "Master, it's decided like this, just move to me, don't look for a house anymore." ”

Seeing Xing Qingsheng like this, Xia Jin wanted to laugh.

In the infirmary, he looks gentle and elegant, takes care of people very thoughtfully, and is a humble gentleman like Xia Zhengqian. But looking at his shy appearance just now, he is still as excited as if he can eat candy, is he obviously a child who has not grown up. It's a lot of fun.

Thinking of Xing Qingsheng's words, Shu hesitated and looked at Xia Zhengqian, hoping that he could get an idea.

Seeing this, Xia Jin hurriedly said: "Father, mother, don't squeeze senior brother and them, I'm looking for a house." ”

"Huh? Where is it? Shu Shi was pleasantly surprised.

In her heart, she didn't want to go to the torturer's house. Xing Qingsheng's mother is a widow, and Xia Zhengqian took his family to live in her house like this, and it was inevitable that some people would gossip.

Besides, it's not really no way, who wants to send someone under the fence?

"To the east of the city." Xia Jin kept an eye on it, didn't say anything about the south of the city, only roughly said the situation of the house in the east of the city, and praised it very well.

But before she finished speaking, Xia Zhengqian and Shu shook their heads: "The house is a good house, but the rent is too expensive, and we can't afford to live in it." ”

"But the problem is, it's not a living, it's an investment." Xia Jin persuaded, "You must know that there is a big difference in income between opening a medical center in the east of the city and opening a medical center in the south of the city. In the east of the city, people like Luo Gongzi abound. cured him of his illness, and gave him a reward of ten taels or eight taels of silver. After a month, twenty or thirty taels of silver is not a problem. You can't earn this income in the west of the city for half a year. I take five taels a month to pay the rent, and the rest of the money is more than in the west of the city. ”

"It's just your imagination." Shu Shi glanced at her, "What if there are no patients?" Can't make a tael of silver a month? What do you do? Not to mention that I didn't earn money for food, I still owe a few taels of silver every month. When the time comes, will I sell my sons and daughters? ”

Xia Jin was dumbfounded.

In her previous life, since she was eighteen years old, she followed her parents to go abroad. Deeply influenced by Western consumption concepts. Westerners who are not in debt to get by? Even if the family has money, buy a house, a car or even buy a small thing, they choose to pay in installments. Carrying a butt of debts, people still live happily for a lifetime, and they are better than anyone else.

But here in Shu's house, the debt of one or two pieces of silver made her unable to sleep at night. Not to mention the rent of five taels per month.

"Besides, I'm also afraid of your father's incident this time. I only want our family to be safe and secure, not to be rich and rich. The risk of seeing a doctor for a wealthy family is too great. Shu Shi remembered the fear he had faced a few days ago, and couldn't help but look gloomy.

Seeing this, Xia Jin sighed, touched the silver in his arms, and his expression became serious: "Father, mother, I want to tell you something." (To be continued)
