Chapter 123 Liu Qiaomei is arrested again

It turned out that Old Man Liu had contracted the most severe form of typhoid fever, which is actually an infection with typhoid bacteria, much more serious than a common cold.

Su Xiaoxiao said anxiously, "Mr. Li, you must save him."

Liu Qiaomei, who was standing next to him, immediately knelt down before Mr. Li, begging him to find a way to save her father.

Mr. Li nodded, then told Liu Qiaomei and Su Xiaoxiao to go outside and wait. When a doctor is seeing a patient, irrelevant people shouldn't be around to interfere. No matter how anxious the family members are, they can't help at all. Only the doctor can cure the patient.

The family's anxiety was of no help. Su Xiaoxiao comforted Liu Qiaomei, "Don't worry, Mr. Li is a well-known doctor in the town. He will definitely be able to cure your father's illness. Don't be too anxious."

Mr. Li was treating Uncle Liu inside the house. After a night of emergency treatment, Uncle Liu was finally brought back from the brink of death.

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaomei didn't sleep a wink all night at Ci'an Hall, waiting for Mr. Li to finally bring the person back to life.

Although Uncle Liu was still unconscious, seeing that his breathing was steady and that the cold sweat and high fever on his face had subsided, Su Xiaoxiao was relieved and she and Liu Qiaomei embraced and wept.

Su Xiaoxiao was a sentimental person, and she didn't want anything to happen to Uncle Liu.

Mr. Li said that he would let Uncle Liu stay at the clinic for a while until he recovered, and then he could go back home.

Liu Qiaomei stayed behind to help take care of her father, while Su Xiaoxiao went home. There were no phone calls at this time, and her two children were still waiting for her at home. She couldn't leave her two children alone at home for too long.

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly drove the mule cart back home, but to her surprise, it was Da Bao who opened the door, his eyes red and swollen from crying.

"Mom, Xiaobao and I thought you weren't coming back."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly got off the mule cart, went to Da Bao's side, squatted down beside him, and wiped away his tears. She comforted him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother went to rescue people yesterday."

Su Xiaoxiao recounted her rescue to Da Bao and Xiao Bao the previous day, explaining how she could bear to leave her home.

Upon hearing this, Da Bao finally stopped crying and smiled, "Mom, you're not planning to leave?"

Su Xiaoxiao angrily flicked his nose and said, "Where am I going? All the money Mom has earned these days is still at home. How could someone as greedy as me bear to leave?"

Da Bao was amused by Su Xiaoxiao's words.

"I'll be going to town these next few days to help look after that poor father and daughter. You and Xiaobao need to be good and behave at home."

Su Xiaoxiao gave him some instructions, and Da Bao obediently nodded.

"That's a good girl. Wait for Mommy to bring you back some delicious food. You and Xiaobao didn't have dinner yesterday, did you?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt a pang of guilt. She hadn't come home last night, and the two children had been locked up at home without anyone cooking dinner for them.

"Xiao Bao and I ate pastries last night. Don't worry, Mom, we won't go hungry. We have all kinds of good food now, unlike before when we only had a little cornmeal porridge."

"

Da Bao grinned at Su Xiaoxiao, "Mom, don't worry! But if Sanlang is still here, you don't need to worry about us. Even if you're not home, it's okay..."

As Da Bao spoke, his mood suddenly turned somber.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao told him not to mention Sanlang again.

She patted Da Bao's head reassuringly. Su Xiaoxiao quickly went to make breakfast for Da Bao and Xiao Bao. Then, she made some porridge to take to Ci'an Hall in town for Uncle Liu to drink.

Su Xiaoxiao is a kind-hearted person. After making the porridge, she took her two children to Liu Zian's private school to study, and then she quickly returned to the town with the jam and porridge.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't sleep a wink last night, but worried that there would be nothing to eat when Uncle Liu woke up, she quickly turned back.

By this time, she was already exhausted. When she arrived at Ci'an Hall, she saw Liu Qiaomei sitting next to her father, dozing off with one hand supporting her head. Su Xiaoxiao walked over quietly without disturbing her.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the porridge, some nutritional supplements, and fruit she bought in town next to Uncle Liu before closing the door and leaving.

Mr. Li was seeing patients in the front yard today, and Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask about Uncle Liu's condition. Mr. Li said, "Don't worry, Ms. Su, Uncle Liu is fine. He's just old and needs to rest more. He should wake up today. You can go and do your own thing."

Su Xiaoxiao then took the jam to the market to sell. Soon after, Sun Shi and Wang Er also came over and helped Su Xiaoxiao sell the jam on the street.

The jam stalls here mainly sell retail, but the prices are cheaper. They just wrap the jam in oil paper before selling it.

As dusk approached, Su Xiaoxiao finally finished up her work on the jam stall. She told Sun Shi to help her pack up the stall because she was going to visit the patient.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Su Xiaoxiao left the market and headed towards Ci'an Hall.

On the way, she saw a very familiar person in the distance, but she wasn't quite sure. It seemed to be the butler of the wealthy Huang family, the butler Huang.

Why was Steward Huang appearing in front of Ci'an Hall? He and his men hurriedly left.

Su Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong, fearing they had discovered Liu Qiaomei's whereabouts.

She rushed to Ci'an Hall and went inside to find Liu Qiaomei. The medicine boy there told Su Xiaoxiao, "Father Liu has woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he said he wanted to eat cloud cake. His daughter went out to buy him some."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt a sudden darkness engulf her vision.

She had a bad feeling and rushed out, but the people, including Butler Huang, had already disappeared.

Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious she was pacing back and forth. It seemed that Liu Qiaomei must have been kidnapped by Huang the landlord again.

What should I do?
Su Xiaoxiao didn't have the ability to inquire about the heavily guarded Huang family's house; she simply couldn't get in.

However, the matter was urgent, and if they arrived too late, Liu Qiaomei would likely be violated by the wealthy Huang.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she remembered someone.

Su Xiaoxiao hurried to Qian Musheng's house, preparing to ask Qian Musheng to sneak into the Huang residence a second time to find out what was going on.

Qian Musheng's house is not a place you can just walk into. There are guards at the door, and they all look like they're not to be trifled with.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, could you please go in and inform them that I wish to see your second young master, Qian Musheng?"

Qian Musheng was the second oldest in his family. He had an older brother who was almost ten years older than him and was a shrewd and cunning businessman.

The guard at the gate sized Su Xiaoxiao up and down. "Who are you? I've never seen you before. State your name immediately."
