Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 375: You Are the Weak One

"So..." Shen Qinglan said in a low voice, "Regarding your mother’s illness, I can only promise to do my best to find her a good doctor. However, the outcome is left to fate."

"Alright!" Ah Xiang said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"I need someone capable by my side," Shen Qinglan stepped forward a few steps, leaned lightly against the window, and whispered, "I’m a very lazy person, but I have a lot to do. I want you to follow me and handle some trivial tasks for me."

"You want to be my master?" Ah Xiang squinted her eyes and said coldly, "I never acknowledge a weakling as my master!"

"A weakling?" Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "In my opinion, you are the weakling."

"What did you say?" Ah Xiang’s cold gaze carried a hint of anger.

Shen Qinglan’s smile faded from her lips, "You can’t even handle a gambling addict and let him take your mother’s life-saving money to gamble. If that’s not incompetence, what is?"

"I—"

Her words, like icy blades, pierced into Ah Xiang’s heart one by one, leaving her speechless.

After a long time, Ah Xiang finally spoke to defend herself, "I just don’t want Ah Jiu and my mother to be upset."

"For someone like you, it sounds nice to say you’re compassionate, but to put it bluntly, it’s incompetence." Shen Qinglan said mercilessly, "You have all this ability, yet you allow yourself to be bullied by a worthless person. Don’t you find it laughable?"

Can’t kill, can’t even teach a lesson?

For such a shameless person, beat him a few times, and she couldn’t believe he would dare to continue being so arrogant.

Ah Xiang pursed her lips tightly, and after a long time, repeated, "I just don’t want my mother to be upset!"

"No." Shen Qinglan said lightly, "Your compassion instead makes your mother even more upset."

She stood up, walked closer to Ah Xiang, and said, "He took the money for your mother’s medicine. Without money for medicine, isn’t her illness getting worse? Wouldn’t that make her more upset?"

Ah Xiang was silent for a long time before she said in a deep voice, "If I kill him, my mother will be upset. If I beat him, he’ll take it out on Ah Jiu and my mother when I’m not around. I can’t stay here every day."

Shen Qinglan shook her head, unsure of how to describe the girl in front of her.

Should she call her filial or just foolish?

Ah Xiang looked at her and said, "I accept your terms!"

"My people must do whatever I tell them to do, even if it’s killing someone. They must do it without hesitation." Shen Qinglan looked up at her and said in a ghostly voice, "Have you thought this through?"

Ah Xiang nodded, "As long as you keep your promise to find a good doctor for my mother, not to mention killing someone, even if you ask me to take my own life, I’d do it."

Hearing this, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but click her tongue softly, "If you can be so harsh on yourself, why not be harsher on others?"

Ah Xiang’s expression froze, and she didn’t speak.

Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll buy this place. In a few days, I’ll have someone come to clean up. As for your mother..."

She looked at Ah Xiang and said, "The previous doctor should have told you, her illness is contagious, right?"

Ah Xiang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Therefore, I advise you to stay away from her, and also keep an eye on your younger sister."

Shen Qinglan glanced at her and continued, "Although it’s cold, you shouldn’t keep the windows closed all the time. Let some fresh air in occasionally. I’ll give you some silver tals later; when you go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning to buy medicine for your mother, also buy some mugwort to burn for fumigation."

"I usually don’t let Ah Jiu get close." Ah Xiang said, "Today, I didn’t have time to stop her, so she sneaked in."
