Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 374: The Girl Axiang

Shen Qinglan said in a ghostly voice, "You scare people during the Ghost Festival; even without having a ghost in their hearts, they would be frightened by you."

The young girl gritted her teeth, "Since it’s your yard, we’ll move out tomorrow!"

"Brother, sister!"

The little girl known as Ajiu had somehow already appeared outside, looking at them and crying, "Our house has been sold by my father, and my mother is seriously ill. Can you let us stay until my mother gets better?"

"How did you get that Taoist priest to cooperate with you?" Duan Yunfei asked curiously. "Even involving millennium old fierce ghosts, that’s quite interesting."

The girl replied coldly, "That priest is nothing but that useless man in disguise."

"Useless?" Duan Yunfei was puzzled.

Shen Qinglan said in a low voice, "That’s referring to the young girl’s father."

"My dad... he likes gambling and lost all our belongings!" Ajiu wiped her tears and choked, "My mom doesn’t even have money for medicine. We pick the yellow chrysanthemums from the yard to sell during the day, earning only ten or twenty coins at times. Sometimes, not even one! It’s far from enough to buy medicine!"

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Then why not leave?"

"I wish we could!" The girl said in a somber tone, "But my mother is so sick, the doctor said she shouldn’t be moved, otherwise why would we stay here and tolerate that useless man’s disgusting face?"

"Don’t you know Martial Arts?" Shen Qinglan raised her lips and whispered to her, "Why not find a secluded place and kill someone, disposing of the body?"

The girl was stunned, then said in a muffled voice, "I haven’t killed anyone."

Shen Qinglan sneered, "Where did you learn your Martial Arts?"

The girl said plainly, "My teacher taught me, but she’s already dead."

She looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "We’ll move out tomorrow, we won’t take up your place for long."

"Move out?" Shen Qinglan said, "Didn’t you say the doctor said your mother shouldn’t be moved?"

The girl said gloomily, "Anyway, we have no money for treatment, she won’t live for many days."

"Sister is talking nonsense, mom wouldn’t die!" Ajiu forcefully shoved her, crying, "Mom will live to a hundred!"

"Ajiu!"

The girl said sharply, "She’s beyond saving now, go inside and see how she is? Not human, not ghost – does she look human to you?"

Ajiu burst into loud tears, sat directly on the ground, kicking and yelling, "Mom won’t die, mom won’t die!"

"Stop deceiving yourself!" The girl’s voice remained sharp, "Ajiu, you’ve grown up, deep down you know, mom can’t hold on much longer."

"What illness does your mother have?" Shen Qinglan asked. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The girl replied stiffly, "Tuberculosis."

Listening to the occasional coughing sounds from inside, Shen Qinglan understood.

She looked at the girl and said, "I can let you stay here temporarily and find someone to treat your mother’s illness."

The girl lifted her head suddenly, then squinted her eyes and said, "What do I need to give in return?"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Such a sensible girl."

The girl frowned, "You’re younger than me."

Shen Qinglan was momentarily stunned, then laughed lightly.

Indeed, outwardly, she seemed somewhat younger than the girl in front of her.

Duan Yunfei realized they had things to discuss, so he hurriedly pulled Ajiu aside to comfort her.

Shen Qinglan said, "You have an understanding of your mother’s illness; I can’t be sure if it can be cured."

"I know!" The girl’s expression was gloomy, "Historically, few have survived tuberculosis."
