Chapter 81: Meeting the Lady Again
Xu Qing thought about it and the gloominess from before disappeared. Then, she smiled brightly. “I don’t know. I bought it for my husband to play with.”
However, Xu Qing didn’t know that Qiao Yanhui had actually understood a little. Then, through some guesses, he understood the military tactics written in this unfathomable book!
Xu Qing’s words made Uncle Lei, the bookstore manager, almost have a stroke! Books were something that could be played with?
Xu Qing looked at Uncle Lei’s twitching lips and smiled awkwardly. Then, she asked, “By the way, Manager, where did you get this book? It looks very novel to me.”
“Call me Uncle Lei. I picked this book up from a dead person. At that time, I found it strange and added it to my collection. I came back and studied it for a while, but I still didn’t understand the meaning behind it, so I put it aside. I didn’t expect you to find it today.” Uncle Lei sighed.
He picked it up from a dead person? No wonder there were some bloodstains on the corner of the book. It turned out to be human blood. What had happened to this book? Xu Qing nodded, indicating that she understood. She didn’t think too much about it and left with Qiao Yanhui after paying.
Xu Qing brought Qiao Yanhui around to shop and bought many accessories and snacks. This time, she finally got to experience the thrill of dating.
“Why are there so many people gathered there?” Xu Qing looked at the crowd in front of her in confusion. Then, she said to Qiao Yanhui, “Little Hui, stand here and wait for me. I’ll be back soon.” Then, she squeezed in to watch the commotion.
Xu Qing finally managed to squeeze to the front. In the end, she saw a bounty notice asking for a famous doctor to treat the county head’s wife.
However, after a few days, many people with brilliant medical skills had gone, but they were all useless. The county head was very anxious and doubled the reward, which was a million yuan. A million yuan was definitely a huge sum of money for a small town.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment and pulled Qiao Yanhui along. “Let’s go to the Babe Sunshine Shop.”
Babe Sunshine was as lively as ever. Although the other shops in town related to babies had also sold similar products, because of the constant innovation of Babe Sunshine’s products, no one could surpass them at the moment. Business was still good.
Xu Qing had just entered when she heard a little girl say that she wanted to buy all the diapers.
Xu Qing didn’t mind. She turned around and saw the noblewoman beside the little girl. The other party seemed to have seen Xu Qing too and hurriedly said in surprise, “Xu Qing!”
That noble woman was the Young Madam of the Yin family, Lei Wangshu, whom Xu Qing had met twice.
Lei Wangshu was feeling much better now, so she came out to buy things for her unborn child. However, she didn’t expect to see Xu Qing again. Lei Wangshu had heard that her brother had met Xu Qing in the teahouse some time ago, but he didn’t invite her back as a guest. She blamed Lei Yanning for a long time.
Later on, she accidentally heard from the servant that Xu Qing had come to look for her, but she was stopped. Lei Wangshu was immediately angry and punished that person. However, she felt even more guilty towards Xu Qing. Now that she had finally met Xu Qing, Lei Wangshu was pleasantly surprised.
“Xu Qing, we’re really fated. You have to come to my place this time no matter what. I have to thank you properly,” Lei Wangshu said politely.
Xu Qing smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Madam Lei, but I really have something to do today. How about next time? I’ll look for you when I’m free next time.”
“Don’t call me Madam. You can call me Sister Wangshu.” Lei Wangshu looked dissatisfied.
Xu Qing didn’t argue and changed her address. “I’ll call you Sister Shu. It’s better.”
Seeing that Xu Qing really had something on, Lei Wangshu didn’t force her. She turned to look at Qiao Yanhui and her eyes flickered. “This is?”
“My husband.” Xu Qing’s expression turned gentle.
Lei Wangshu was quite good at reading people. Although she felt that Qiao Yanhui seemed a little strange, she wasn’t sure, so she didn’t say anything else. “Little Qing, where do you live? If it’s convenient, I’ll look for you.”
“My house is in Anning Village, which is quite far. It’s inconvenient for you since you’re pregnant. I’ll visit you when I come to town,” Xu Qing replied.
“Okay.” Lei Wangshu held Xu Qing’s hand and didn’t force her. She really felt that it was her fortune to meet Xu Qing.
Xu Qing saw that Lei Wangshu’s complexion was a little pale and asked directly, “Sister Shu, your appetite hasn’t been good recently?”
“Madam Xu, how did you know that she has had a bad appetite?” The servant at the side was shocked.
Lei Wangshu’s smile faded slightly. She held Xu Qing’s hand. “Little Qing, can we talk in private?”
