The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Jinsheng agreed to all of them.

"How are you and your brother-in-law doing lately?"

Every time Song Yuntang heard Song Jinsheng mention the word "brother-in-law", he felt like laughing.

I used to keep complaining about Xu Qingye’s old age, but now I just call him brother-in-law, and it feels so easy.

"We're doing fine. He's going to take part in the Autumn Examination next year and has a lot of schoolwork lately. I've also been busy lately, so I'm not home most of the time during the day."

We are almost home.

After Song Yuntang opened the gate, he led Song Jinsheng in.

"He's recovered from his illness, so you need to take good care of him and not let him get sick again." Song Jinsheng followed her into the yard. "I don't care about what happened to him in the past, but now that you're married to him, he has to consider your future. While getting a good academic record is important, you can't neglect your health either."

It is not easy for a woman to support herself without a man at home.

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Don't worry, second brother, I'm here to watch over him. He'll be fine."

"Of course I trust your medical skills, sister. Aren't you worried that your brother-in-law won't take care of his own health?" After a pause, Song Jinsheng said, "Sister, there is something I want to ask you."

Song Yuntang turned around.

"what's up?"

Song Jinsheng scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.

"Which girl did you propose to me before? Mother asked me twice before, and I evaded the question each time. I'm worried that if she asks me again this time and I can't answer her again, she'll probably blame me."

He will be nineteen next New Year.

I have lived for nineteen years and I am most afraid of being nagged by my mother.

It was fine in the past, but now he doesn't want to listen to nagging anymore. Instead of wasting time on this, he might as well get things done properly and have some peace of mind.

Song Yuntang didn't hide it anymore. He shook his head helplessly, smiled, and said, "It's Mu Qiu."

"What?" Song Jinsheng was stunned. "Mu Qiu?"

Song Yuntang looked at him.

"Why? Second brother doesn't like it?"

Song Jinsheng hurriedly shook his head, not knowing what he was feeling for a moment.

"Not really, I just didn't expect it to be her."

Song Yuntang smiled.

"I thought Second Brother would be able to notice it himself, but I didn't expect you to still not notice it."

Song Jinsheng looked embarrassed.

"Does Mu Qiu know about this?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "Of course I know."

Song Jinsheng wiped his face.

"This is going to be difficult..."

"What's wrong?" Song Yuntang was puzzled.

"A few days ago, I told her that I had a fiancée and asked her to keep her distance from me. During that time, she asked me to go with her to sort out the groceries or go shopping for something, but I either refused or asked Tu Shi and Zhi Xia to join us. Later, she became busy and simply ignored me. I didn't even try to comfort her. Did she really not want to pay attention to me anymore?"

Thinking of this, Song Jinsheng wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

If he had known that the person his sister was talking to was Mu Qiu, he would have been attentive without Mu Qiu even calling him.

Song Yuntang glanced in his direction.

"Originally, I was thinking of letting you meet your fiancée before the engagement, but you said that your eldest brother and sister-in-law had never met each other before their wedding, so I took it upon myself to arrange the engagement between you and Mu Qiu. Now I want to know, what did your second brother think after finding out that his fiancée was Mu Qiu?"

Song Jinsheng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"At first I thought you were talking to someone of my age. Because I have a good relationship with Mu Dong, I always treated Mu Qiu as my sister. This girl is honest, capable, and kind. She's quite good, but she's a few years younger than me. I was worried that I might be doing her a disservice."

Seeing that he was not disgusted, Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "Since you are satisfied, after returning to the provincial capital, you can pay some attention and pick out a gift to appease her. Mu Qiu is a good girl. If you don't handle her well, and your fiancée flies away, you can't blame me for not arranging something for you."

Song Jinsheng smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll remember it."

Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that Tang’er always asked him to repay Mu Qiu’s favor when they were in Cile Town. So this was the reason.

She is really patient.

If I hadn't asked her today, she probably wouldn't have told me.

Song Yuntang took out a gift box from the house.

"The box contains a longevity lock that I had custom-made at a jewelry store. Keep it, second brother."

Song Jinsheng reached out and took it.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to your nephew when the time comes."

……

As soon as Song Jinsheng left, Xu Qingye went home with a lunch box.

Seeing Song Yuntang at home, he looked a little surprised.

"Tang'er didn't go to the clinic today?"

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "I went there. My second brother came over and said that my eldest sister-in-law was about to give birth and asked me if I would go back to Rongshu Village. I didn't want to go, so I brought him home to get the gifts I prepared for my soon-to-be-born nephew."

Xu Qingye nodded.

"Why don't you let him have dinner before leaving?"

"He was in a hurry to reply. He left before I could even finish talking about this. You should eat first. I'm going to the clinic."

As Song Yuntang said this, she was about to go out to the clinic, but Xu Qingye grabbed her hand.

"Since you're back, why don't you have dinner at home before going?"

Song Yuntang looked at him. The clinic was very busy these days. He left after breakfast in the morning, and stayed in the clinic for lunch and dinner. He was busy until dark at night.

Xu Qingye would heat up a hot water bottle every day and go to the clinic to pick her up. He was extremely considerate.

But after they got home, he read his book while she was either thinking about medicinal herbs or reading a storybook, so they didn't have much chance to say a few words.

The way the two of them get along is like they are living together and they don't interfere with each other.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Qingye let go of her hand.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

Song Yuntang thought, it's already dinner time, no one is at home today, Xu Wencheng and Nian'er are helping out at the clinic, it's a rare opportunity to be alone together, he can eat at home first and then go.

He turned past Xu Qingye and walked towards the main hall.

"Then I'll eat and then go to the clinic."

The man's eyes were gentle, and he quickly followed her with a food box in his hand.

After placing the food box on the table, he went to the kitchen and lit a charcoal stove under the table. Then he opened the food box and took out the food inside one by one.

There is a charcoal stove burning under the table, which can drive away some of the cold.

"The clinic is so busy, don't you plan to hire a few more doctors?"

Song Yuntang reached out and took the chopsticks he handed to him.

"Quality is more important than quantity. Considering the size of our clinic, three doctors are more than enough. We recently accepted four new apprentices and bought two servants from the dental clinic. Add Wencheng, Nian'er, Caoshun, Changgen, and Aunt Wu from the kitchen, and there are thirteen of us."

With so many apprentices and helpers, all matters other than diagnosis and treatment can be left to them, which can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Qingye first picked up a piece of meat for her.

"Teacher will be going to the hot spring villa to spend the winter next month. If you are still busy next month, I can go and help you."
