Xiao Linzi saw her doubt and whispered, "There are twelve steel needles in total, each with different lengths of silkworm silk."

Xia Qingqing suddenly realized and was about to take the thing off her wrist, but Xiao Linzi beside her immediately grabbed her wrist and looked at him.

There was a hint of earnestness in his eyes, as well as a hint of pleading and resentment.

Xia Qingqing didn't have much contact with Xiao Linzi, but she could tell that he was very skilled and usually looked carefree.

But today, such a look appeared. When Xia Qingqing was hesitating, Su Xi slowly said, "Since it is Xiaolin's intention, you should accept it. Your skills are not good, and I can rest assured if you have this thing when I am not around."

Everyone started coughing when they heard this. Ning Yu was a little furious and said, "She's the only one who's weaker than me? She could blow my head off with one hand. She's more brutal than a man."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Nian turned around and pinched Ning Yu until he cried.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Xia Qingqing agreed, and Xiao Linzi slowly withdrew his hand from her wrist, with a smile and reluctance in his eyes.

It was not until everyone went to the yard to talk that he realized that the residual warmth of Xia Qingqing on his hand was slowly dissipating.

The Huo family was very reluctant to let Su Xi go, especially Mrs. Ding, who hugged Su Xi and burst into tears, causing everyone around them to cry as well.

"Sister Su Xi, you have to come back soon." Tears welled up in Huo Xiaoniu's eyes, and fell down in an instant when she hugged Su Xi.

Although Huo Shuang'er was the youngest, she had always been a strong child. Today, she held Su Xi's hand tightly, as if she would disappear if she let go.

"Child, have you brought enough money?" Huo Gang took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Su Xi. "Poor at home, rich on the road. If you are unhappy outside, come home."

Su Xi wanted to refuse, but seeing Huo Gang's fatherly look, he finally gave up and said, "I remember, uncle."

In the end, Su Xi left.

As soon as Su Xi left, Shen Xiaoniu arrived. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Qingqing stopped him and sighed, "You don't have to say anything, I know everything."

"Brother Ning Yu, come with me." Xia Qingqing called Ning Yu into the house and asked, "What does Xiao Linzi's family do?"

Ning Yu frowned and pouted, "Why are you asking about him?"

Feeling Xia Qingqing glaring at him, he quickly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you...his name is Lin Qingfeng."

"Two years ago, I also saw this guy dying on the roadside. He was almost starving to death and didn't even ask for food."

"He had a lot of wounds on him, but he was clinging to the sword tightly and wouldn't let go. I felt sorry for him so I found a doctor to treat him. After he recovered, he kept relying on me."

"He said he would follow me for two years to repay me for saving his life. However, he is very skilled, and it was because of him that I was able to gain a foothold in Qinghe Town."

"But now it seems that I am ungrateful. I actually had a crush on you."

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Xia Qingqing turned around and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm just kidding, don't be so angry." Ning Yu stood up and looked at Xiao Lin, who was fighting outside the window with his chest crossed, and said with a smile, "This guy is so majestic when he stands there. Anyway, the two-year period is up, so let him do whatever he wants."

"Well, I'll switch with you," Xia Qingqing said without hesitation, "Shen Xiaoniu is smart and has a talent for business. He can bring out his strengths by following you."

"Xiaolin, stay."

Ning Yu felt a little uncomfortable, but he nodded. He pushed the door open and walked out, going straight to Xiao Linzi and punching him in the chest.

The force was so strong that Ning Yu's fist hurt.

"Follow Mr. Xia carefully from now on!"

After saying this, without looking into Xiao Linzi's eyes, he turned around and walked to Shen Xiaoniu's side, looked him over, and said, "You, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yu turned away. Ouyang and the others were confused. How come the people around him were suddenly swapped?

After a while, everyone in the courtyard dispersed, and Xia Qingqing realized that Su Xi had really left. A feeling of powerlessness swept over his body. He said a few words to Mulan and went back to his room to sleep.

It turns out that when people are sad, they really just want to sleep, as if only by falling asleep can they forget the pain of separation.

"Xiao Lin?" Mulan looked up at Xiao Lin and said, "The boss has told you to stay with Master Xiucai for the time being. You live in the outer room, and he lives in the inner room."

"Ah."

"Come with me, I'll show you your room." Mulan led Xiao Linzi into the wing room, and while she was spreading bedding on him, she explained the situation at home. She looked up at him and said, "Even though you're like a piece of wood now, I still want to thank you. My little brother is finally with Yinglan."

Mulan was a little puzzled. She remembered that when she first met Xiaolin, he was a very cheerful person.

Why have you become so quiet now?

Maybe he is not used to the new environment?

"Little brother?" Xiao Linzi thought for a moment and then understood, "So he is Yinglan's man, and he is quite responsible."

A few days later, the north house was finally completed, and the Huo family began to prepare to invite the villagers to a pig-killing feast.

On this day, people in the village came to the courtyard early. Some were washing dishes, some were washing pots, and everyone was busy and happy.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage suddenly came slowly to the door. Just when everyone thought that it was someone from the Ouyang family, they discovered that Mrs. Huang, dressed in red and green, slowly walked down from the carriage.

Everyone was stunned. One woman exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my goodness, Old Lady Huang, where did you get rich recently? This outfit must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Mrs. Huang was very satisfied when she saw everyone's surprised looks. She said proudly, "My son has made great progress. He even said that he bought me too little..."

Xia Tiezhu said in disbelief, "Has Xia Mu made it big? Can he afford to buy these for you?"

"Hey! Tiezhu, what's that? How can you say that?" Huang said with some dissatisfaction, "Why can't my son achieve anything? At least he's better than a house builder like you! Humph!"

"But who are you looking for in the Huo family? Xia Qingqing? You two are no longer related." A woman reminded.

"Tsk! Why would I look for her?" Mrs. Huang shook the pearl flower on her head and said, "I came to see Mayor Xia and asked him to help sell the house. From now on, my family of three will not return to this place. It's too remote!"

"Sell the house?"

The villagers all frowned. Xia Ergou, who had just returned from the sea, immediately scolded them, "Why hasn't Xia Youcai come back yet? Does he also know that selling the ancestral home is a shameful thing?"
