Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

0Qing Sheng's suggestion moved his heart, but he calmed down and thought about it, then shook his head. Not to mention the objections and ridicule from the villagers, even with his condition, he was not allowed to work so hard.    

    

"Sister-in-law, let's forget about this. As long as there are children attending class, I will teach them and I will be able to learn some things from you. If they don't come, then I will not teach them."    

    

Qing Sheng revealed a smile as usual, and his voice was also as gentle as usual, but Shen Jingli could hear a trembling in his voice, and a sense of loss.    

    

Shen Jingli knew that he had always wanted to blend into this village and teach the kids what he had learned. However, the villagers looked down on his birth, didn't trust him, and refused to let the children learn from him.    

    

The villagers of Mu Family Village treated their guests very warmly, but they also had their own selfish and cold sides, especially the wives that married in from other villages. Furthermore, as Qing Sheng was a sensitive person, he would get hurt even more easily.    

    

Seeing his lonely appearance, Shen Jingli originally wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He was really not good at comforting others.    

    

He pounded his waist and stood up, then walked out of the hall and looked at the two White-shouldered Eagle s that were being fed in the courtyard. Those two little fellows were the same every day, but now that they had grown a circle, they were even more ferocious when it came to pecking.    

    

He turned around and saw Shen Jingli, and could not help but complain: "Madam, these two ingrate, they were really too much, to actually eat the fish I raised in the water vat. They were actually prepared to cook fish balls at night."    

    

The more he said, the angrier he got. He bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the two eagles standing on the rooftop. The two eagles spread their wings and flew around the top of Nian Hua's head, scaring his legs weak.    

    

Shen Jingli waved his hands, and the two eagles let out a cry, flying back to the roof and stood there like two sentries.    

    

After seeing them leave, Nian Hua heaved a sigh of relief and sat down limply on the ground. He then pointed at them and cursed, "You two ungrateful fellows, who do you think is the one that feeds you everyday? You actually dare to scare me, it really is …"    

    

The more he scolded, the more excited he got.    

    

"Elder Brother Nian Hua, who are you scolding?" Mu Xi returned with a small basket of pigweed on his back.    

    

"Who else could it be other than those two ungrateful birds?" Nian Hua pointed to the two sculptures on the rooftop, then turned to look at Mu Xi, "Brother Xi, you are really diligent, you went to hunt pigweed again."    

    

Mu Xi smiled bashfully, he had been playing with Mu Qi and the others recently, and his personality had become more cheerful. He put down his basket, looked at the living room, and asked: Big brother Nian Hua, where is my Mama? My father, Xiu Mu, has returned today. Uncle told me to stay with Mama at home tonight. "    

    

"In the house." Nian Hua took out the pigweed from his basket and said, "I'll help you chop up the pigweed. In a while, go back home and feed it to the pigs."    

    

"How can I accept this?" Mu Xi shook his head and rushed to snatch it.    

    

Nian Hua reached out his hand to stop him. Smiling, he said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Why can't I just chop some pig grass? Can't I still do it?"    

    

He then took out a chopping board specially designed for chopping pigweed from the kitchen and brought over a short stool. Sitting on the short stool, he earnestly chopped the pigweed and looked like it was simple, but actually, it was quite strenuous. Before his prime, he was a first class servant at Western Mu Mansion, so there was no need for him to do such menial chores.    

    

Mu Xi saw that he was getting more and more serious while chopping the pig grass, so he looked at Shen Jingli hesitantly, "Uncle?"    

    

"Your Mama is in the house, go in."    

    

Hearing Shen Jingli's words, Mu Xi turned around to look at Nian Hua once more before entering the room.    

    

Qing Sheng was still reading the tome that Shen Jingli had compiled, and was completely focused, not even noticing that Mu Xi had entered the room. Mu Xi stood at the door, and quietly called out, "Mama?"    

    

Ah!" He raised his head and saw that it was Mu Xi. Only then did he let out a smile, "It's Xi Er.    

    

"We didn't play. We went to the mountains to gather pigweed." Mu Xi protested in dissatisfaction and sat beside Qing Sheng. Looking at the tome in his hands, he said gratefully, "Uncle, you really are a good person."    

    

Good people?    

    

Shen Jingli stood at the door and heard him out, he couldn't help but laugh, if he was slightly better to them, would he be considered a good person? Aren't they being a little too careless with their standards of good people?    

    

Qing Sheng looked at the tome in his hands, then looked at the pillows that filled the room, and nodded.    

    

Mu Xi held Qing Sheng for a while longer before remembering the important matter. "Mama, Father is returning today, First Uncle wants us to stay at home."    

    

"What?" Your father is coming back? " Qing Sheng stood up in excitement. Mu Yifann had gone to the city to study, and he only needed to recuperate once a month, so he had always started to calculate the time when had left. On the day he returned, he was going to cook a good meal for him.    

    

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qing Sheng scolded as he pulled Mu Xi up, "Quickly go to the garden to pick some vegetables. Your father rarely comes back, you have to cook something good for him to eat tonight."    

    

Every time father came back, it was as if Mama was going to war. Mu Xi silently cursed, and slowly moved towards the door, ready to go to the garden to pick vegetables.    

    

"Why are you so slow? Hurry up, you still have to buy tofu later." Qing Sheng hurriedly cleaned up the room, and when he raised his head to see that Mu Xi had not gone out yet, he could not help but say this.    

    

Mu Xi made a face at him, used his hands to stretch his eyelids, and took the chance before he went berserk.    

    

Recalling that Qing Sheng did not stay at home for a few days, so many furniture and such were probably all piled up with dust, Shen Jingli got Da Ji and Da Lee to help him clean it, and even got Jin Yu to send him a piece of pork and two palm sized grass fish.    

    

At night, Mu Yifann came back with an extremely ugly expression.    

    

Qing Sheng stood by the side of the table with his hands on his waist, preparing to call out to him to eat, but suddenly he could not say anything. Mu Yifann just snorted and stared coldly at Qing Sheng with his peach blossom eyes.    

    

Mu Xi felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly closed the door and hid in a corner.    

    

"Yifann..."    

    

Just as Qing Sheng was about to speak, he was taken advantage of by Mu Yifann first, "I heard that you opened a private school in the village to teach the girls how to read, and even take care of them?"    

    

When Qing Sheng heard these words, he only felt the cold wind behind him blow past him, cold as ice.    

    

"What do you mean?" His face was pale, one hand on his hip, the other on his belly.    

    

Mu Yifann's face was stern, as he walked towards him, his cold and piercing gaze caused Qing Sheng to be unable to breath, and he could only stagger backwards.    

    

"What did you do? Don't you know that yourself? "    

    

What did he do? Facing his questioning, Qing Sheng only felt a surge of anger, and his internal organs burned to the point of being in pain.    

    

"People in the village say you're restless." Mu Yifann sat down, his eyes as cold as ice. "Women are virtuous, don't you think that a double class teaching is bad news?"    

    

Qing Sheng staggered a step back, he did not know what he bumped into, but something fell onto the ground with a crackling sound. He did not know whether it was because he hit his waist, but his stomach suddenly hurt, and he forced himself to say, "You think I'm restless too?"    

    

"Aren't you? The village was fine, but how much trouble did you cause by doing this? Father and Eldest Brother always receive complaints and complaints from the villagers, you … "    

    

As Mu Yifann said that, he suddenly saw Qing Sheng supporting himself on the table with one hand, while the other was covering his stomach, his face was extremely pale, he suddenly stood up, "Qing Sheng, you …"    

    

He wanted to reach out to help him, but was slapped away by Mu Xi who rushed over, and shouted at Mu Yifann, "Go away, don't touch my Mama …"    

    

Mu Yifann was frightened by his son's actions. He did not understand why his son, who was usually timid, would yell at him.

Mu Xi was too lazy to bother with him, he carefully supported Qing Sheng into the room, turned around and ran over to Shen Jingli to get help.    

    

"What?! What?! Quickly open the door! My Mama has gotten angry!" He slammed the door and shouted loudly.    

    

Shen Jingli and his family had just finished their dinner, Jin Yu was washing the dishes, hearing the anxious knocking on the door, her wet hands did not even have time to wipe the food, immediately rushing to open the door.    

    

"Brother Xi, what's going on? In such a hurry. "    

    

"Big sister Jin Yu, my Mama has a stomachache. Can you get the driver to send him to the doctor?" Mu Xi's eyes became red with anxiety, he held onto Jin Yu with both of his hands and walked towards his house.    

    

Jin Yu quickly pulled him back, "Wait a moment, I'll go call some people for you."    

    

Jin Yu quickly went to call the coachman, and when Shen Jingli came out of the inner courtyard leading him along, he saw Mu Xi's red eyes that were close to crying and asked: "What happened?"    

    

When Mu Xi saw Shen Jingli, he felt as if he had seen his backbone. He immediately cried and said intermittently, "Father, Mama, fight, father scolds people, Mama hurts …"    

    

"Alright, don't cry, I will follow you to see your Mama." Shen Jingli wiped his tears away with his sleeve and held his hand.    

    

From his disjointed words, Shen Jingli roughly knew what happened in their house. It was Mu Yifann returning and quarreling with Qing Sheng.    

    

When Shen Jingli arrived at Mu Xi's home, he was still standing in the living room. The entire table of food, without even making a single move, was already cold.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at Mu Yifann, then went around him and entered Qing Sheng's room. Qing Sheng laid on the bed with a pale face, staring at the ceiling.    

    

"Qing Sheng, get up. I'll accompany you to see a doctor." Shen Jingli said.    

    

Qing Sheng did not respond as Shen Jingli helped him up and helped him out the door. When they passed the hall, Mu Yifann wanted to call him, but seeing his expression, he did not shout him out.    

    

Jin Yu had the coachman prepare the carriage and was waiting at the door. Seeing Qing Sheng's appearance, he could not help but frown and quickly went to help him, "How did you end up like this when you returned home safely?"    

    

"Stop asking, hurry up and take down the chair and bring him to the doctor." Shen Jingli urged.    

    

Afraid that the carriage would budge, Jin Yu had just added two layers of woolen cushions and a few soft pillows. After Qing Sheng got on the carriage, he just so happened to be able to lie on top of it.    

    

"Are you coming too, madam?" Jin Yu got on the carriage, and upon realizing that Shen Jingli did not plan to go down, he turned pale with fright.    

    

Shen Jingli nodded, and said to the outside: "Old Zhang, you may leave now."    

    

The coachman's surname was Zhang, and was about 40 years old. Hearing Shen Jingli's words, he immediately whipped his horse and left.
