Chapter 18 Sister-in-law
"Ye Zhiqing, I'm leaving first and waiting for your call."

When Ding Jianjun left the station, he looked relaxed and no longer gloomy.

"Ok."

Ye Muxue watched him go away, then carried her luggage and strolled along the roadside... The ancient capital city slowly overlapped with the dormant memories and immediately became vivid.

In her previous life, she fled into the world of cultivation after the 90s and never came back. At that time, the capital city was entering a stage of adjustment and development, but she no longer had any impression of the capital city at that time. She only wanted to escape from that place. On the contrary, her current impression of it is somewhat familiar.

"Comrade, what do you do?" A voice suddenly shouted. Ye Muxue turned around and looked at the policeman and the old lady with a red armband in front of her in surprise.

"Public Security Wu, it's her. She's been hanging around here for a long time. There must be something wrong." The old lady proudly gestured how vigilant she was.

"I do have a problem. I want to rent a place nearby, closer to the hospital, so that I can see a doctor conveniently... You know, hospitalization and hotel fees are quite expensive."

Ye Muxue did not try to be mysterious. She took out a letter of introduction from her pocket and handed it to the police.

"Listen, you are an educated youth from Beijing, right? Why don't you go home and live?"

Wu Jun read the letter of introduction, then looked at Ye Muxue's body... She looked like she could be blown away at any time even with her coat wrapped around her. She was definitely not in good health.

"As soon as I got off the train, I wanted to find a house here first... I have three older brothers at home. My eldest brother got married the year I left. Our family didn't have enough houses to begin with, so wouldn't this make matters worse? I just wanted to find a place to stay first, and then tell my family."

"I want to rent a house...Auntie Liang, do you have any solution?" Wu Jun looked at the old lady in embarrassment.

It's complicated to talk about Chinese houses, but generally speaking, there are private houses in this era... and even redundant private houses. However, generally speaking, if you want to rent a house, you rent it out through the housing management office. There are few private rentals. Although Wu Jun is a police officer, he really doesn't understand this.

However, the police in that era were not like those of today. They would avoid police if possible, and when they encountered them, they would still think about helping the people.

Aunt Liang felt a little embarrassed because she had misunderstood Ye Muxue just now. Moreover, her physique made her look particularly pitiful.

Hearing this, he slapped his thigh and said, "What a coincidence! Some time ago, Old Man Wu said that he wanted to find some tenants for his rooms, but he didn't want the Housing Management Office to manage them... Girl, why don't you stay in the guesthouse in front for one night? I'll go and ask for you."

"Thank you so much, Auntie!"

This was a pleasant surprise, and Ye Muxue immediately expressed her gratitude.

Wu Jun and Aunt Liang took Ye Muxue directly to the guesthouse in front to help her check in, and then left. Aunt Liang told her that if there was anything, she would leave a message at the front desk and she could find her at the neighborhood committee diagonally opposite.

She lived in a single room. Although the guesthouses of this era were far from being as luxurious as those in later generations, the bedding was very clean and there was a faint scent of laundry soap. However, there was no toilet here.

Ye Muxue's stay at the guesthouse was just a cover. After she put down her luggage, she took a paper bag of pine nuts to the front desk and distributed them to several waiters. Then she asked around and came to the Second National Cotton Mill... Her sister-in-law Yang Xue worked in this unit. "Master, I want to find someone. Can you please take care of him?" Ye Muxue handed a handful of walnuts to the guard.

"Okay, who are you looking for?" The security guard smiled back... Well, he already had a lot of wrinkles on his face, and with this smile... they were as big as a walnut.

"Yang Xue from Workshop Three. I'm her sister-in-law Ye Muxue."

"I know, I know, just wait."

The guard immediately called the internal line to the workshop: "Workshop 3? I'm the gatekeeper, Lao Zhang, looking for Yang Xue, her sister-in-law Ye Muxue. Yes. Okay."

The guard put down the phone and said, "Miss, Yang Xue will be out soon, just wait."

"Thank you, Master Zhang!"

Ye Muxue quickly thanked him.

"No, no." The gatekeeper has this obligation and should not take other people's politeness seriously.

The two of them didn't have much to say to begin with, but some workers passing by the gate saw Ye Muxue and left muttering... Ye Muxue was originally good-looking, and she had been practicing magic and meditating during this period, and she was particular about her diet. Although she looked sickly, if you looked closely at her skin, there seemed to be a halo flowing under the skin, which was very eye-catching.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Muxue saw Yang Xue walking out in a hurry... She had only seen Yang Xue a few times before going to the countryside. She only remembered that when she first married into the Ye family, her face was still a little chubby. After only a few years, her chin became pointed and her face was dull and yellow, obviously due to malnutrition. It would be strange if a child raised in this state could be healthy.

"sister in law!"

Ye Muxue came to meet him from a distance. Yang Xue was dazed for a moment, then she reacted: "Hey! Are you coming from home?"

"No. I haven't gone home yet."

Ye Muxue hesitated for a moment: "Sister-in-law, I came back this time mainly to see a doctor. Going home... is too troublesome."

Yang Xue's heart skipped a beat... This must be a serious illness, she had to go to the capital to see a doctor.

"No problem. The workshop director heard that you were back and gave me half a day off...By the way, where are you living now?"

"I'm staying at the guesthouse, sister-in-law, come with me to the guesthouse and talk."

Ye Muxue didn't say anything and just took Yang Xue's arm and left.

Yang Xue thought about it and didn't refuse. She was thinking about how to help Ye Muxue with her illness.
