Chapter 223 Packing things
Li Mingxia was so generous that not only did the doctor not expect it, but even the people in the Li family's old house did not expect it.
"So much? No need for so much. It's too much, little girl. No, no, just give me five hundred coins." The doctor thought for a moment and said.
He really didn't expect that Li Mingxia would give him so much money, but he didn't intend to accept it. This little girl was very filial, and he didn't want to take money that he shouldn't take.
"You keep it for yourself. When your mother wakes up, you will have a lot of things to spend money on. Just give me five hundred coins. It's already a lot." said the doctor.
That was indeed the case. Five hundred coins was a considerable amount of medical fees even in the town. However, since this was a matter of saving lives, he felt that he would not feel guilty even if he took it, so he mentioned this amount.
Li Mingxia thought for a moment, took out a silver coin worth about one or two taels of silver, and before the doctor could speak, she said, "If it weren't for you saving my mother's life this time, we wouldn't know... Doctor, no matter what, you must accept this money!"
Seeing Li Mingxia's expression, the doctor no longer refused. After taking the money, he left the Li family's old house.
Li Mingxia felt very annoyed when he thought that he would have to live here for the next few days.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Mingxia, who was silent and had no idea what he was thinking. She was afraid that the deal would fall through, so she hurriedly said, "Your mother is lying on our kang now. I don't care whether you have a day off today or not. Hurry up and give me the two hundred coins now. Not a cent less."
Li Mingxia counted out the money and gave it to Old Mrs. Zheng. She counted it over and over again, counting to two hundred coins and then counting back again, over and over again, not bothering to do so.
Li Mingxia was too lazy to look at her like this. Seeing Zhang lying on a thin mattress, she felt a little distressed. But Li Zhengpin had not come back yet, and she could not leave the Li family's old house. She could not trust anyone now, not even Li Sanlang.
Another half hour later, Li Zhengpin came back in a hurry with the medicine. During this time, Li Mingxia moistened Zhang's lips with space water several times. Now Zhang's face had turned red.
"Little sister, I'm back!" As soon as Li Zhengpin came in, the first words he said were to Li Mingxia. He also looked at Li Mingxia and Zhang who was lying on the kang. The brother and sister seemed to have automatically ignored Li Sanlang.
"Brother, Mom is fine now. I have to go back now. You stay here and take care of Mom. Don't let anyone meet her." Li Mingxia said.
Li Zhengpin nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I'll stay here and watch over mom. I won't leave even a step."
Li Zhengpin originally wanted to let Li Mingxia stay here and he would go back to get what he needed, but thinking that a grown man would definitely encounter unexpected things, he let Li Mingxia go.
When Li Mingxia left the Li family's old house, he looked back and saw Li Sanlang standing up as if he was waiting for something, but Li Mingxia just looked at Li Zhengpin, nodded, and then left.
No one could understand how much resentment Li Mingxia had in his heart at this moment. The realization that he had almost lost Zhang made Li Mingxia tense up in an instant.
She couldn't accept losing Zhang, so she wouldn't be in a good mood towards Li Sanlang.
Li Mingxia hurried back home and first went to see Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong. The two little girls stayed obediently in their rooms, and rushed over when they saw Li Mingxia coming back.
"Sister, why are you all leaving? Where are you going? Why don't you take us with you?" The two little girls didn't know what was going on. They looked at Li Mingxia with their big eyes blinking.
I don't know what happened. Li Mingxia, who had calmed down, couldn't hold back her tears after seeing her two sisters. But she knew she couldn't cry. Her two sisters were young and would definitely be scared after she told them. It would be better for her to pack up and talk slowly on the way.
Although there is no difference between being a little later or a little earlier, it’s better to be a little later.
Li Mingxia suppressed the emotions in her heart and patted the two little girls' heads. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, so everything will be fine. I'm coming back to pick you up, right? You stay in the room for a while and be good. I'll come find you later."
Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong were obviously a little uneasy, but they nodded obediently, looked back every few steps, and returned to the kang to sit, waiting for their eldest sister to come.
Li Mingxia returned to his room and began to take things out of the space.
Li Mingxia prepared everything, from the casserole and the earthenware jar for boiling medicine, to the rice and pork bones that the family would eat at the end, an old hen, and even seasonings. He then packed up Zhang's bedding, and after tying everything together, Li Mingxia called his two younger sisters out.
"We are going to stay in the old house for a few days." Li Mingxia said to his two sisters on the way.
Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong both showed fear on their faces after hearing what Li Mingxia said, but they were actually a little prepared in their hearts, after all, Li Mingxia brought so many things out.
"Don't be afraid." Li Mingxia naturally knew what the two sisters were afraid of, and even completely understood what the two sisters felt in their hearts. After all, Old Lady Zheng was really not nice to them at all.
"No one can bully you while your sister is here. Let's sleep in the same room." Li Mingxia said gently to her two sisters.
Perhaps the eldest sister's words worked, Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong didn't seem as nervous as before.
After taking another step, Li Mingqiu looked at Li Mingxia cautiously.
"Sister, why do we have to live there? When will we come back? Will we still live there?"
When they said this, the two little girls had tears in their eyes, for they were afraid that Li Mingxia would say that they would live in the old house in the future.
"Don't cry, don't cry, why don't you go back? That's our home, we must come back!" Li Mingxia said immediately.
The two little girls wiped away their tears when they heard this, "Then we..."
Li Mingxia sighed and told Zhang's affairs. This was not something that could be concealed. When the two little girls saw Zhang, they would know what happened. It would be better to tell them now to avoid greater shock later.
The two little girls panicked when they heard this, "Is mom okay? What should we do?"
"It's okay. The doctor said that nothing will happen. Don't be afraid, you two. When you get there, tell your sister if anything happens. I won't let you suffer any injustice." Li Mingxia said seriously to her two sisters.
