Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 151 You still say it's all your fault.

Xiao Yishan thought about it carefully and said, "There should be."

His family is wealthy; his father is a rich businessman. It's normal for them to have some ginseng.

Li Ruru secretly glanced at her space again. There was ginseng there, but it was small and the roots were almost invisible. She estimated that it was less than a year old.

There are packaged goods in the mall, but it's impossible to know if they're genuine or fake, and their age is unknown.

When treating my daughter's illness, I naturally have to be careful about what she puts in her mouth; I need a natural ginseng that's been aged for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ruru stood up and said to Xiao Yishan, "Let's go to Xiu'er's house."

She wasn't afraid that Chu Xiu wouldn't give her the ginseng; he wasn't a stingy person.

I'm worried that their family is too big and powerful, with a lot of servants, and I won't be able to get in the door.

Just as Xiao Yishan was about to fetch the horse, Li Ruru added, "Go change your clothes. We can't let Xiu'er down."

She thought that if she dressed nicely, the guards at the gate would surely announce her presence.

The two were dressed neatly, and the carriage was ready, but they discovered a big problem: they had no idea where Chu Xiu's house was.

Chaochao pondered for a long time, resting his chin on his hand. Chu Xiu always talked about his family, but never mentioned his address.

She hesitated, saying, "I only know it's in the county town, but as for where in the county town..."

She didn't know that it could happen anywhere.

After much deliberation, the three could only conclude that Chu Xiu's family lived near the market.

When Li Ruru was setting up a stall at the market, Chu Xiu went home halfway and returned quickly, which means that his home is not far from the market.

"Godmother, I can go by myself. You stay home and take care of Peipei."

Xiao Yishan put on his bamboo hat and was about to go out when Li Ruru hurriedly took out a piece of clothing that she had prepared beforehand from her spatial storage for him.

"Put these on." The clothes were ordinary, but she added a layer of modern waterproof fabric underneath.

After thinking for a moment, he took out two more items and said, "These are for Xiu'er and Xiao Wu."

If they're willing to come back in the rain.

Xiao Yishan put on his clothes, brandished his riding whip, and went out, quickly disappearing into the rain.

County government.

Chu Xiu was standing by the window, anxiously stamping his feet. "Xiao Wu, let's go back now."

He wanted to go back to his godmother's house; he didn't want to stay here.

Xiao Wu hesitated and said, "Young Master, Master said you are not allowed to go out, and the rain is too heavy now."

"You still say that? It's all your fault." Chu Xiu's face fell.

After Xiao Wu told Magistrate Chu about their encounter with bandits, Magistrate Chu immediately placed the entire county under martial law and forbade Chu Xiu from leaving the house.

"Young master, please calm down. I'll go out and take a look when the rain subsides a bit," Xiao Wu said with a forced smile.

For some reason, he could address the young master as a brother at his godmother's house, but back here he had to grovel and act like a servant.

The two waited and waited, watching the rain outside the window, but instead of the rain lessening, it poured down even harder.

Xiao Wu brought a bowl of medicine to Chu Xiu, saying, "Young Master, it's time to drink your medicine."

Chu Xiu picked up the bowl and took a sip, frowning as he remarked that the medicine was terribly bitter.

He remembered that his godmother had helped him get the medicine, and that she had reminded him to take it on time when he left.

Remembering his godmother's gentle and beautiful face, he tilted his head back and took another big gulp.

-

Xiao Yishan drove the carriage at breakneck speed and soon arrived at the market.

The market was deserted today; all the shops on the street were closed, and the vendors had not set up their stalls.

He drove the carriage around the neighborhood twice and saw several wealthy families, but none of them had the surname Chu.

Large households usually have a plaque hanging at their gate, with two or three characters engraved on it: the first is the surname, and the second is the name of the household.

The rain was heavy, but Xiao Yishan's clothes were dry, only slightly damp on the surface.

He rubbed his eyes and searched carefully again, but still couldn't find the Chu residence.

He paced around, doubting himself. He recognized the character "Chu"; Chu Xiu had even taught him how to write it.

He passed by the government office several times, but his gaze did not linger there; he only searched for the Chu residence.

The people at the yamen gate saw him pacing around several times, looking at him suspiciously. One of the constables shouted, "Who are you? What do you want? Get out of here!"

The rain was heavy, and they shouted from a distance, not wanting to run out to catch anyone.

Xiao Yishan wisely left, and when he couldn't find anyone, he went along the street looking for a pharmacy.

I hope there's a shop open so I can buy a ginseng root.

He wandered aimlessly, and as he passed Hongfu Restaurant, he saw a little girl waving at him.

He stopped the carriage and asked, "Miss... do you know where there's an open pharmacy?"

Shuya said loudly, "Don't you recognize me? We met last time when you helped Aunt Li deliver konjac tofu."

Xiao Yishan gave an awkward laugh; he didn't remember.

"You...you wanted to see me about something?"

“It’s our young lady who’s looking for you,” Shuya said with a smile.

Xiao Yishan looked up and saw Bai Lu standing at the third-floor window waving at him.

He looked down at his wrinkled clothes and muddy shoes, and refused, saying, "I... have something to do."

As he raised his whip to leave, Shuya quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Hey, don't go!"

Without saying another word, he pulled him off his horse and into the restaurant.

Bai Lu ran down from the third floor, dressed in a light green robe, looking as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

Xiao Yishan looked down and saw that he had soaked a large area of ​​the ground. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Miss Bai... what do you need me for?"

Bai Lu tilted her head and asked, "Your name is Xiao Yishan, right? Do you live at Aunt Li's house?"

She remembered Aunt Li saying that she had taken in three godsons, and the person in front of her must be one of them.

Xiao Yishan replied softly, "Yes, yes."

"Let's go then," Bai Lu said with a smile. "I was just thinking of having a chat with my aunt, and you've arrived just in time."

"Huh? Together? Back to my godmother's house?" Xiao Yishan asked incredulously.

"Oh right." Bai Lu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you just said you needed something? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xiao Yishan's eyes lit up, and he asked directly, "Do you have ginseng at home?"

"Who's sick?"

“My godmother’s second daughter, Peipei, has been coughing.”

“That’s easy.” Bai Lu turned to Shu Ya and said, “Go to the kitchen.”

He then took out a key and handed it to her.

Hongfu Restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, ranging from inexpensive konjac tofu to extremely expensive ginseng soup and ginseng health porridge.

The kitchen had ginseng stored there, and Shuya immediately brought out several boxes and asked, "Miss, which one would you like?"

Without hesitation, Bai Lu replied, "Of course, it's the oldest one, the one that's a hundred years old."

Shuya was a little surprised, but she did as she was told.

Xiao Yishan didn't know how to thank her, and said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Miss Bai. You are truly...beautiful inside and out."

He, who is not good at praising people, managed to come up with some nice words.

Bai Lu waved her hand: "Don't be so polite, Aunt Li and I are on very good terms."

The two girls boarded the carriage, and Xiao Yishan noticeably slowed down his driving speed.

The car stopped speeding and instead moved steadily and slowly through the heavy rain.

Although Xiao Yishan really wanted to rush home to give the ginseng to Peipei, he didn't want to bump the girl in the car.

When the carriage reached the riverbank outside Chenjia Village, the road was blocked.

There were many donkey carts transporting goods, one after another, forming a large procession.

"I'll get out of the car to check. You guys stay here, it's raining heavily."

Xiao Yishan dismounted and walked forward until he reached the riverbank, only to find that the river had risen very high, hugging the bridge surface.

The bridge, which was originally in good condition, has now collapsed in the middle, with several wooden planks missing. Through the gaps, one can even see the surging river water at the bottom.
