In the darkness, a person suddenly appeared and stretched out his arms to stop the carriage.
Xu Dongsheng was shocked and couldn't help but pat his chest. "Oh my God!"
He quickly pulled the reins and looked around. Yu Hongyan was standing opposite him with a smile. "Village Chief, I didn't see your woman go anywhere this afternoon!"
He glanced at Tang Xiling and pursed his lips. "So you really took her to see a doctor!"
Although he didn't say much, his tone made people feel uncomfortable listening to him.
Xu Dongsheng did not have the final say in Bai Changxi's place. Now that he was back in his own place, he was the boss. Naturally, he straightened his back. "Yu Hongyan, why are you talking about such useless things? Do I need to report to you where I went in the afternoon? You're really a pig with a scallion in its snout!"
Yu Hongyan smiled shamelessly. "Oh my god, Village Chief, why are you so angry? I didn't do anything to you!"
She walked up slowly and took a look inside the carriage. "Oh my god, why is there a man lying here?"
She took a few steps forward and stared at Xiao Qingshan with the help of the moonlight. "Who is this person? Why is she wearing a mask in the middle of summer? What's so shameful about it? Eh, she looks a little familiar!"
When she was about to bend down to take a closer look, Mi Xaing 'er immediately blocked her. "Yu Hongyan, you're really asking for it! Why do you care who this person is? Even if we picked up a beggar on the street and planned to raise her at home, what does it have to do with you?"
She pushed her chest. "Go away!"
Yu Hongyan narrowed her eyes. "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"
Before Mi Xaing 'er could reply, Tang Xiling suddenly sat up and spat on Yu Hongyan's face. She laughed and clapped her hands. "Oh, it's raining! It's raining!"
Yu Hongyan felt that her face was wet. She quickly wiped it with her hand and scolded angrily, "This crazy woman! You should be sent to the mental hospital!"
Mi Xaing 'er looked at her sorry state and held back her laughter without saying a word.
Xu Dongsheng whipped the horse. "Old Mi's wife, don't be so smug! I haven't asked you yet! Where are you going in the dark?"
Yu Hongyan grabbed her clothes with both hands and avoided his gaze. "I-I'm just going out for a stroll!"
Village Head Xu snorted, "I think so too. You must have nothing better to do."
He tapped the horse's back with the tip of his whip.
They drove the cart directly to the Mi residence.
When they arrived at the door, Fu Bowen heard the noise and rushed out to welcome them. "Sister, Mom, you're back!"
He called them affectionately.
He quickly rushed over and carefully helped Tang Xiling out of the cart. "Mom, are you hungry? I heated up some porridge in the pot. Hurry up and have a bowl!"
Mi Xaing 'er looked at him, puzzled. "You know how to cook?"
"If you don't know, you can take your time to learn!"
Tang Xiling stroked his hair. Although she did not say a word, her eyes were full of love and heartache.
Mi Xaing 'er quickly looked around. When she saw that there were no outsiders around, she let Xiao Qingshan out of the cart. "Magic Doctor Xiao, you can stay at my house tonight! You definitely can't go back to Three-Corner Village. We don't know if the task force has left yet!"
Xiao Qingshan pondered for a moment. He was afraid that he would cause trouble for the other party.
Mi Xaing 'er was very smart. Even though the other party did not say it explicitly, she could tell that he was worried. She deliberately said casually, "My house is big. You can stay here. Besides, I don't plan to keep you here forever. It won't be too late for you to go back when things are settled over there!"
At this point …
Xiao Qingshan did not have anywhere else to go, so he could only stay.
He followed Mi Xaing 'er into the courtyard. Holding the dog fur hat in his hand, he quickly looked around.
As expected …
The courtyard was really big. "Only your family is staying here!"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here!"
Xu Dongsheng stood at the side. "Xiang 'er, it's getting late. I'll go back. I'll give Village Chief Bai a call tomorrow morning to confirm the situation over there!"
Mi Xaing 'er answered crisply, "Uncle Xu, I'll have to trouble you today. Why don't you have dinner before you leave?"
Xu Dongsheng waved his hand. "The food that your family gets isn't even enough for you to eat. Now there's an additional person. Forget it, I'm going back. You can look for me if you need anything!"
His gaze turned to Tang Xiling. He seemed to want to say something, but after holding back for a long time, he still did not say a word. He simply drove the horse carriage away.
Mi Xaing 'er then started to get busy. She first helped her mother settle down in her room. Then, she tidied up a room for Xiao Qingshan. She swept the kang bed, made the bed, and fetched some water to wash her face. "Magic Doctor Xiao, you'll have to make do with this for the night!"
Xiao Qingshan stared at her fixedly. His lips moved a little. "Okay, thank you!"
This was considered gratitude.
Mi Xaing 'er did not reply. She did not intend to take credit, nor did she intend to reward her. "I'll call you when it's time to eat!"
She turned around and left the room. Then, she ran to the kitchen and busied herself with cooking. With so many people in the house at once, there was naturally more work to do.
It was not easy for her to settle everyone down.
Dinner was also finished.
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o 'clock.
Mi Xaing 'er finished washing the last of the dishes, turned off the lights in the kitchen, and returned to the upper room. When she entered the house, she saw Fu Bowen leaning against the kang bed. He was chatting softly with Tang Xiling. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces. She did not know what they were talking about. When they saw her enter the house, they immediately shut their mouths.
Fu Bowen came up to her and handed her a hot towel. "Sister, Brother-in-law is not at home. I don't dare to stay in that room alone. I'll sleep with Mom tonight!"
Mi Xaing 'er hesitated for a moment. She was still a little worried. One of them was a little crazy, the other was young, and there was also a "degenerate" living in the side room. What if …
Before she could make up her mind, she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.
