Chapter 14

It was getting late, and Jiang Shuxin didn't force the Four Treasures to be sent back. Instead, after washing the Four Treasures at will, he coaxed people to sleep.

The small fishing sheds by the sea are no less than the farmyards in the villages. They are small and simple. Most of them eat, drink and sleep in one room.

In contrast, Jiang Shuxin's fishing shed is not bad. There is a sleeping room specially used for sleeping, but the only couch in the sleeping room at this moment has been occupied by the Four Treasures.

Jiang Shuxin, who was sure that the Four Treasures were asleep, sat alone in the main room, unhurriedly packing her things.

Picking up the candle on the table, he lit the torch that had been tied outside the house. Jiang Shuxin was about to go out with the torch in hand. Just after taking a step, he turned around and entered the bedroom as if he was worried, and lit the candle on the table.

She didn't know the sleeping habits of the Four Treasures, but she was still worried that the little girl would be afraid.

After locking the door, Jiang Shuxin stepped into the thick night with a torch, and walked towards the village without looking back.

Entering the village and walking a few steps to the east, Jiang Shuxin came to the door of a huge yard. She threw the torch that was about to go out in her hand at the corner of the wall and knocked on the door lightly. After a while, a demure woman in a robe stood for her. Open the door.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Shuxin went straight to the main room, and the woman followed her into the main room, asking questions as she walked.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, why do you want to go home at night?"

"Sister, tell me to take a breath first!" Jiang Shuxin sat on the chair, picked up the teapot on the table and poured cold water into his mouth.

"I'm exhausted today."

That woman, Jiang Shuyun, saw that she was drinking in such a hurry, and hurriedly reached out and patted her back a few times: "Slow down, be careful of choking."

Jiang Shuxin drank enough water, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth casually, and then continued: "Xiao Shang'er asleep?"

"She is so young, she went to bed early." Jiang Shuyun also sat down opposite her, a touch of tenderness appeared on her beautiful face.

"Why are you here so late?"

Jiang Shuxin listened to her question but did not answer in a hurry, got up and walked towards the bedroom in the house.

The warm orange candles swayed and illuminated the room. In the center of the bed against the wall lay a cute and fair-looking little girl, covered with a small floral blanket, her nose twitched, and she slept soundly.

Jiang Shuxin squatted on the edge of the couch and gently touched the sleeping child's forehead. Jiang Shuyun, who was following behind her, also looked at her daughter on the couch tenderly.

Jiang Shuxin pinched the little fleshy face of the milk doll as if he didn't know what to do, and then Jiang Shuxin stood up and walked out of the room.

"You're not afraid of waking her up, you have to pinch her every time." After leaving the house, Jiang Shuyun accused Jiang Shuxin with a smile, but her tone was gentle and smiling.

Jiang Shuxin also laughed along, sitting in a chair without a straight face.

"I haven't been back very much recently, maybe Xiao Shang'er thinks about me too much."

"You know that, too." Jiang Shuyun gave her a sideways glance and continued, "The fishing shed is not far from home, isn't it the same as living at home? Why do you have to live in that small fishing shed?"

Jiang Shuyun had a headache when she heard this, and she would be talked about every time she came back, but she just liked to live there by the sea: "It's convenient to live there."

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Jiang Shuyun turned her head away and said helplessly, she didn't force her sister to live at home, but she was worried that it would be unsafe for her to live by the sea.

"Then you came back this evening to see Xiao Shang?"

Speaking of this, all the smiles on Jiang Shuxin's face were put away, and Jiang Shuyun could see that the smiles on her face were also put away unconsciously.

"Did something happen?"

Jiang Shuxin's expression was deep, her face was cold, and she nodded, but she didn't know how to tell her sister about this.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shuxin said tentatively, "If I say I want to spend some money to buy a daughter-in-law back, will my sister think I'm crazy?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shuyun stood up "rubbing", the expression on her soft face was a little stiff, she stared at Jiang Shuxin in disbelief, as if to stare a hole in her.

"Sister, don't look at me like that." Jiang Shuxin said uncertainly, her face full of distress.

After Jiang Shuyun was shocked, she sat down slowly. She glared at her unassuming little sister and took a sip from the tea cup on the table.

"If you're not crazy, I'll definitely have the money, but you have to clarify what's going on first."

Hearing what Jiang Shuyun said, Jiang Shuxin knew that there was definitely a drama, and she told Jiang Shuyun about the Four Treasures without omission.

When it was said that the Four Treasures were clinging to him and wanted to hug, Jiang Shuxin coughed uncomfortably and then ignored it and refused to mention it.

After hearing this, Jiang Shuyun fell into deep thought. It wasn't that she didn't know the four treasures of the Yu family. She was a foolish and innocent girl, but she never thought that the Yu family would be so cruel.

Jiang Shuxin looked at her sister's thoughtful appearance and couldn't sit still, but she stubbornly stared at Jiang Shuyun, waiting for her statement.

"Have you really figured it out?" Jiang Shuyun didn't say much, but continued in a low voice, "If you want to decide, then I'll go get the money."

"Sister..." Jiang Shuxin said subconsciously.

"I know what you want to say." Jiang Shuyun interrupted her aloud, pointing her finger at Jiang Shuxin's head: "I know that the four treasures of the Yu family are a stupid girl with an insane mind, but if you say this to me, it means that you are yourself. You already have a decision in your mind, don't you?"

Jiang Shuxin was speechless by her words, but her originally expressionless face burst into a smile, her white teeth were illuminated by candlelight, she smiled and nodded noncommittally.

"Yeah, it's your sister who knows me best, so I'll borrow fifty taels first."

Jiang Shuyun was almost annoyed by such a lion's mouth. You must know that ordinary people can earn at most five taels of silver a year, and she said it was fifty taels.

But Jiang Shuyun still went inside and took fifty taels to Jiang Shuxin.

"Fifty taels is not a small number. Besides, the Yu family are all ruthless guys. If you get used to them, they will only make things worse."

"I know." Jiang Shuxin didn't understand that these silver taels would not fall into the hands of those people in vain: "I will handle it, you go into the room to rest earlier, lest Xiao Shang wake up and see no one crying."

After speaking, he stood up and packed his things.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Shuyun called out to her in surprise: "You have to go back to the beach so late?"

Jiang Shuxin paused, stopped, thought for a while, and finally walked out of the courtyard.

"I don't worry about letting her stay alone in the fishing shed."

Jiang Shuyun couldn't persuade him any more, so she sent Jiang Shuxin to the door, and by the way, picked a lantern at the entrance of the courtyard and gave it to Jiang Shuxin for lighting on the road.

Holding the lantern, Jiang Shuxin's footsteps were much faster than when he came, and it didn't take long before he could see the scattered small fishing sheds by the sea.

Back in the shed, before Jiang Shuxin pushed the door open, she heard the sound of something hitting the ground from inside. She frowned unconsciously, and kicked the door open with a sudden kick.

Taking three steps and taking two steps, Jiang Shuxin walked directly into the inner room, the lit candle was still shaking, but the person who should have been sleeping on the couch disappeared.

"Four treasures."

Jiang Shuxin called out uncertainly.

"Woo..." Xu Shi heard Jiang Shuxin's voice, and a small whimper came from the gap between the bedside and the cabinet.

Jiang Shuxin hurriedly put down the lantern in her hand and walked towards it. Before she saw anyone, she kicked a teacup that rolled to the ground, and then saw Yu Sibao, who was sitting in the crack and crying so much.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shuxin squatted down and reached out to pull her.

Si Bao sat there with tears in her eyes and looked at Jiang Shuxin who came back, ignoring her outstretched hand, pursed her mouth unconsciously, and said aggrieved: "My leg hurts."

Jiang Shuxin didn't mind either, and the hand she stretched out was changed to help her wipe away her tears, but she just wiped it lightly at the end of her eyes and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Have your legs hurt so bad that you cry?"

"Wake up first, okay?"

Jiang Shuxin's tone was very light, she was still squatting, looking directly at Sibao's small face that was already stunned, and talking to her in a good voice.

This time, the Four Treasures slightly took back their emotions, sniffed, stretched out their arms towards Jiang Shuxin, and did not speak.

However, Jiang Shuxin knew what was going on with her when she saw her posture, so she picked the person out of the corner neatly and threw it back on the couch.

Four Treasures got up again and looked at Jiang Shuxin dissatisfied, accusing her with his eyes.

Then he said, "You are gone."

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Shuxin knew what was going on with the little girl. It was estimated that she woke up with leg pain in the middle of the night. She didn't find herself, so she hid and cried alone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuxin always felt strange in her heart. She didn't know if the Four Treasures depended on her too much or was afraid of being alone, but she inexplicably hoped that the Four Treasures depended on her.

After dipping a basin of cold water from outside the house, Jiang Shuxin washed the face of the Four Treasures in a moderate manner, coaxing her while washing: "I will definitely be here when I wake up next time, hurry up and go to sleep today, I will be on the side."

"Leg pain." Sibao pointed to his right leg, but refused to sleep.

Jiang Shuxin checked her carefully, but it looked a little scary, and she didn't hurt her bones. It's normal for the pain in the first day or two; On the body, if can hold it back, won't cry out to her anymore.

After thinking about it, Jiang Shuxin simply took the handkerchief he wiped his face with cold water and put it on Sibao's injured calf.

Coolness told Sibao to shrink back involuntarily, but she didn't hear her cry of pain. Jiang Shuxin guessed that this would relieve the pain a little.

After a quarter of an hour, Jiang Shuxin took off the handkerchief and re-wet it to cover her. After a while, the Four Treasures fell into a deep sleep.

If it weren't for Jiang Shuxin's return, he would have been sitting on the ground all night.

After covering her with the quilt, Jiang Shuxin went out with the water basin, poured out the water, packed up her things, and carried a rocking chair into the inner room.

After tossing back and forth until now, after a few hours, Jiang Shuxin lay on the rocking chair and guarded the Four Treasures before falling asleep after a while.

During this period, Sibao would occasionally snort twice in his sleep because of the pain, but he was never woken up by the pain.

Early the next morning, Jiang Shuxin sat up from the rocking chair with a sore body.

The sun was already high outside the house, the fishermen had already returned from the sea, and Jiang Shuxin had not done anything.

But anyway, didn't plan to go to sea. After all, there are other things to do today.

Jiang Shuxin didn't wake the Four Treasures. After washing up, he made breakfast in the open-air kitchen outside the house.

While making breakfast, Li Chu, Jiang Shuxin's friend in town, came over unexpectedly.

"Why didn't you go to deliver? I thought something was wrong with you." Li Chu rushed over from town and was so tired that she watched Jiang Shuxin gasp for breath.

After working together with Jiang Shuxin for so many years, will inform you one day in advance if there is something wrong with the sea.

Jiang Shuxin said apologetically: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to tell you, but you happened to be here, so please help me solve one thing."

After saying that, Jiang Shuxin told Li Chu about the Four Treasures, so shocked that the tea cup in Li Chu's hand was almost unstable.

"What did you say?"

"Are you really going to take money to buy a fool... um, the little girl comes back?"

Jiang Shuxin glared at Li Chu, and hurriedly changed his name.
