Knowing who wrote the letter, Mu Qiancheng didn’t read any further. He just lit a fire and burned the letter. As for the things she mentioned in the letter, Mu Qiancheng didn’t believe any of it.
He knew that even if Jiang Xue didn’t like him, she would never do anything to betray him. He trusted the upbringing of Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, trusted Jiang Xue’s character.
Thinking of Jiang Xue, Mu Qiancheng thought of his upcoming return to Xu City. In five days, he would be going to Xu City with other comrades. To prevent Jiang Xue from not being able to reach him by phone or letter, Mu Qiancheng decided to write back to Jiang Xue to tell her about this.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xue, after staying at home for a few days, thought about her father’s surgery expenses, which still needed quite a bit of money, so she planned to make another trip to the county town.
The last time she went, she specifically asked Mr. Chen and learned that there was an antique market in the county town, with many antique shops and some street vendors.
Although she wasn’t too keen on selling on the street, she had no choice but to make money. Without calls from Mr. Chen or Elder Xiao, she could only try her luck again, hoping to meet people as knowledgeable as the two old scholars.
After deciding, Jiang Xue told her parents-in-law. Upon hearing that Jiang Xue wanted to go to the county town again, they couldn’t help but ask, "Xue’er, are you still going to sell your calligraphy?"
"Yes, I’ve written a few more pieces these last few days at home and want to sell them."
When they heard Jiang Xue was going to sell her calligraphy, they couldn’t stop her. However, they were worried it wouldn’t be very convenient for Jiang Xue to take Little Reunion with her, so they said, "Xue’er, why don’t you leave the child at home, and we’ll watch over him?"
Jiang Xue originally intended to take Little Reunion with her, thinking of leaving him with Little Fox like last time. But she also knew that doing so might not be good. Not for other reasons, but just in case someone discovered it, it would be troublesome.
After all, she had to put Little Reunion into the space, and when taking him out of the space, it might seem like a magic act.
If someone discovered it, it wouldn’t be good.
So, Jiang Xue thought about it and agreed. She said to the two elders, "Alright, I’ll go to the county town tomorrow. Little Reunion doesn’t drink formula, so I’ll pump some milk, and you can warm it slightly for him to drink."
"Alright, as you say, let’s do it this way." The two elders nodded.
So that evening, Jiang Xue entered the space to discuss with Little Fox and asked him to prepare some bamboo marrow for Little Reunion to drink. Latest content published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Little Fox felt a bit regretful when he heard that Little Reunion couldn’t go with them to the county town. But he understood Jiang Xue’s concerns, so he went straight to his secret base, filled a small bottle with bamboo marrow, diluted it into a big bottle, and gave it to Jiang Xue.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xue handed over the child and the bamboo marrow from Little Fox to the parents-in-law, then took the bus to the county town.
When Jiang Xue arrived in the county town, she didn’t go to the antique street right away but first went to Chen’s house to scout the situation.
When Mr. Chen saw Jiang Xue arrive, he was very pleased. He escorted her into the house, saying, "Lass, it’s so wonderful that you’ve come."
"Mr. Chen, what’s up, you haven’t been waiting for me, have you?"
"Yes!" Mr. Chen nodded and then said, "If you hadn’t come, I would have called to find you."
"Mr. Chen, is someone interested in buying my calligraphy?" Jiang Xue was slightly taken aback, then she laughed. Secretly, she thought she had indeed come at the right time.
