Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 218: Qiu Family (Part 2)

Half an hour later, Lishui Village.

"Finally arrived!" Mrs. Jiang looked at the carriage stopping in front of her and said with a smile.

"Aunt!" Shen Qingzhu called out, quickly got off the carriage, and helped Mrs. Jiang get on first.

Shen Qinglan also lifted the curtain and called out.

When Mrs. Jiang got on the carriage, Dong Yao said with a smile, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. We should have set off earlier, but we were delayed waiting for Qinglan."

"No problem, it wasn’t a long wait!" Mrs. Jiang looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled, "It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, and our Qinglan has grown even more beautiful."

Dong Yao glanced at Shen Qinglan and said, "I don’t see much change."

"That’s because you see her every day and haven’t noticed the changes!" Mrs. Jiang wrapped her arm around Shen Qinglan and smiled, "Time flies so fast; in a few months, our Qinglan will be of age."

"Indeed," Dong Yao sighed lightly, "She used to be a skinny little girl, but now she looks like a young lady."

Shen Qinglan let them talk, only smiling quietly.

Dahua Village is not far from Lishui Village, but because it’s on a mountain, the roads are rugged and difficult to traverse. What was supposed to be a fifteen-minute ride took thirty minutes.

Shen Qinglan handled the bumpy ride well, but Dong Yao and Mrs. Jiang’s faces were slightly pale.

Upon reaching the village entrance, they quickly asked Xiao Li to stop the carriage, intending to walk.

Just off the carriage, the two ran to the side and clutched their chests, starting to retch.

After a while, Mrs. Jiang patted her chest and said, "Oh dear, that was rough!"

Seeing them not riding, Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qinglan also got off to accompany them on foot.

Xiao Li didn’t drive the carriage anymore, leading the horse behind them.

They were well-dressed, and with a carriage following them, they quickly caught the attention of the other villagers in Dahua Village.

"Where’s the Qiu Family?" Mrs. Jiang asked Dong Yao.

Dong Yao seemed troubled, "I don’t know either!"

Shen Qinglan felt amused at this. She looked around and then waved at a clever-looking little girl nearby.

The little girl confirmed, "Pretty sister, are you calling me?"

"Yes!" Shen Qinglan nodded.

The little girl giggled and ran over.

Shen Qinglan indicated for Shen Qingzhu and the others to go ahead and then asked the little girl, "Do you know where the Qiu Family is?"

The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Do you mean Sister Li’s house?"

Dong Yao had mentioned that the girl was called Qiu Li, so it must be the Sister Li the little girl was talking about.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes, can you take us there? There will be treats for you when we arrive."

Hearing about treats, the little girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, "I’ll take you there right away!"

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, "Then let’s go!"

"Okay! Come with me, sister!" The little girl said, bouncing and leading the way.

The other little kids watched her with envy.

As they walked away, the gossiping women of the village gathered and started discussing in a flurry.

"Looking for Qiu Li? Could they be distant relatives of the Qiu Family?" someone speculated.

"Impossible!" someone sneered, "These people look wealthy. If the Qiu Family had such rich relatives, Old Mr. Qiu wouldn’t have died from lack of money for medicine."

"That’s true. Then why are these people visiting the Qiu Family? They’re not here to cause trouble, are they?"

Someone said, "Why guess? Let’s go have a look, and we’ll know!"

The crowd found it reasonable and quickly grouped up to head toward the Qiu Family’s place.
