The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Grandma Luo suffered a sudden myocardial infarction, but thanks to timely treatment, her body was not seriously damaged and she can move around without any problems. Of course, it would be even better if she could rest more.

Fang Qingyou hadn't expected that Aunt Luo would say something that surprised her: "I need to go to the labor market."

"Labor market? Is Aunt Luo going there to hire people?"

Aunt Luo shook her head: "No, I'm going to find work."

Fang Qingyou frowned slightly. Aunt Luo was in her forties, which wasn't too old, but she suffered from myocardial infarction and had a history of the disease for many years. Her body was not suitable for going out to work.

"Aunt Luo, is there no one else in your family?" Fang Qingyou asked. In ancient times, filial piety was highly valued. At Aunt Luo's age, her children would generally not allow her to go out and work to make a living.

Upon hearing Fang Qingyou's question, Aunt Luo's eyes instantly reddened: "I originally had a son, but he was abducted when he was three years old. Over the years, I have traveled all over the country to find him..."

As she recounted her past experiences, tears streamed down Aunt Luo's face, and she struggled to calm herself for a long time.

Only then did Fang Qingyou understand why Aunt Luo hated Zhang the matchmaker so much that day. It turned out that her son had been abducted when he was a child, which made her hate human traffickers to the bone.

Fang Qingyou felt sympathy for Aunt Luo, but even more so, she admired her. Over the years, she had suffered a lot in her search for her son, even leaving her hometown and wandering the world. So many years have passed, and her black hair has turned white, but she still has not given up.

Aunt Luo's plight brought tears to Liu Tiewa's eyes: "Aunt Luo, if you don't mind, please treat me as your son. I'll take care of you. I may not be able to provide you with a life of luxury, but I'll make sure you have enough to eat and drink!"

Aunt Luo was moved, but she shook her head firmly: "No, good child, you can pity me, but I cannot accept your pity. I want to live with my own hands. I believe that one day, I will find my poor son..."

Liu Tiewa's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately said nothing more. To Granny Luo, giving alms was an insult.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyou's eyes flickered slightly, and she made a decision in her heart.

"Aunt Luo, I'm just about to go to the labor market to hire someone to work as a farmhand. If you'd like, you can come back with me, how about it?"

"Girl, are you really looking for someone?" After Liu Tiewa's words, Aunt Luo couldn't help but ask another question, fearing that Fang Qingyou was doing this out of pity for her.

“Of course it’s true. Aunt Luo, look, we were originally on our way to the labor market, but we never expected you to suddenly faint in front of my carriage. I have to say, this might just be fate. Aunt Luo, even fate wants you to come, you can’t refuse.” Fang Qingyou pointed ahead, then smiled and pointed to the sky above.

Aunt Luo glanced at the carriage and saw that it was indeed heading towards the labor market. However, instead of agreeing, she advised Fang Qingyou, "Young lady, I'm old and prone to fainting. I'm not as healthy as those young people. I think you should ask someone else. Don't let an old woman like me delay your business."

“What could possibly be delayed? I’m only asking someone to go back for some trivial things like laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Can you do those chores, Aunt Luo?” Fang Qingyou was actually thinking that if Aunt Luo was willing to go back with her, she could treat her illness and free her from its torment.

"Yes, I can certainly do those things. But, young lady..."

“Aunt Luo, don’t hesitate. My home is in Liujia Village on the outskirts of the county. We also have a horse-drawn carriage, so it’s very convenient for us to come to Nanguan County. If you trust me, we can even help you find out about your son. Uncle Tiewa, what do you say?” Fang Qingyou said, giving Liu Tiewa a wink.

Liu Tiewa nodded vigorously, "Yes, Aunt Luo. Xiaoyou and I will help you find your son!"

Aunt Luo was indeed tempted: "Girl, look, how about I... give it a try first? You can see if I can do the work well. If you are satisfied, then you can keep me. If you are not satisfied, I won't complain at all."

Fang Qingyou smiled and said, "Of course."

"Alright. Miss, I live in that alley. Let me go back and pack my things and I'll be right back."

Fang Qingyou nodded: "Aunt Luo, you go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

Aunt Luo came out quickly, saying she was packing her luggage, but she only had a small bundle on her body, which probably only contained some clothes.

"Grandma Luo, please sit here."

During the time that Aunt Luo was away, Fang Qingyou gave Er Mao some advice. The little guy was very sensible and greeted Aunt Luo as soon as she got into the carriage.

"Oh, my good boy." Aunt Luo's nose tingled as she sat down next to Er Mao, and then her gaze never left him.

After that, Fang Qingyou went to several weapon shops.

Fang Qingyou was dazzled by the sights. She asked about several exquisitely crafted swords, only to find that the cheapest one cost fifty taels of silver and the most expensive one cost ten taels of gold.

In the end, Fang Qingyou didn't buy anything. It wasn't that she didn't have ten taels of gold, but she wasn't very satisfied with these swords.

She didn't understand swords, but she could tell that none of these swords were as good as the one Green Field carried, let alone compared to Elder Xing's and Yi Lingyun's swords.

Fang Qingyou felt that her taste in swords had become too refined, and she no longer looked down on ordinary swords. Therefore, she decided to save up more money and buy Fang Runting a really good sword.

However, Fang Qingyou's trip to the weapons shop was still somewhat fruitful.

Because when she was outside the weapons shop, she happened to overhear two passersby discussing something. They were talking about the serial murder case in the suburbs, saying that the murderer seemed to have been apprehended.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou decided to go to the bulletin board again to see if the news was true.

Upon reaching the notice board, Fang Qingyou immediately noticed a notice posted there, stating that the murderer had been apprehended.

Fang Qingyou decided to go to the county government office in Nanguan County to see if there was anything she could do for them, since she was the one who wrote the autopsy record for this case.

However, before going to the county government office, Fang Qingyou had to get Liu Tiewa out of the way.

Actually, Fang Qingyou didn't really want to bring Aunt Luo along, but she knew that if she didn't bring someone with her, Liu Tiewa probably wouldn't feel comfortable leaving on her own, since he always remembered his promise to Madam Ren to take good care of her.
