The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 274 - 180: Meeting the Future Brother-in-Law
Time, it passes both quickly and slowly.
The Xiao family has been in exile for twenty years. After twenty years, his son should have taken a wife and had children; after twenty years, that beautiful wife of his will definitely have gray hair.
"Elder brother, don’t worry, everything is fine at home."
"Second sister, you’ve worked hard."
Chun Hua took the letter wanting to read it, but Chun Nuan went to talk with Chun Quan and Chun Qing.
"Nuannuan." Chun Qing and Chun Nuan are twins, their bond is the deepest: "I heard your fiancé is also here, brother wants to meet him and have a word."
"He’s in the kitchen helping with the cooking and making the fire."
Chun Nuan laughed, her brother is always so meticulous, always afraid she’d suffer a loss.
Even though he was bullied by her since young, he’s never borne any resentment.
Chun Qing went to the kitchen, where he found Zhao Minghua tending the fire.
"You must be Brother Qing!"
Seeing the person who suddenly burst in, Zhao Minghua knew this must definitely be his closest brother-in-law.
"You are Zhao Minghua?"
Standing in front of Zhao Minghua, Chun Qing was half a head shorter, but still, he put on the demeanor of an elder brother-in-law.
"Yes, Minghua greets brother-in-law."
This was a formal greeting.
"No rush, let me have a word with you."
Qingsheng watched with wide eyes as his third young master obediently followed someone shorter than him out of the kitchen, not knowing what they were talking about.
Chun Qing took Zhao Minghua out of the house, observing him again in the dusk.
"My sister is taken by your looks?"
"That’s my honor." Zhao Minghua was taken aback, then gave a wry smile. He’d have to ask Chun Nuan later if she was really so shallow.
"You have excellent qualities."
The words carried a hint of insult, but Zhao Minghua didn’t get angry, which showed he was smart.
"Brother-in-law can rest assured, although Minghua may not be talented, he will surely protect Nuannuan from the wind and rain."
"Nuannuan is different from other girls, she doesn’t do needlework, doesn’t cook, nor manage a household..."
Zhao Minghua looked at Chun Qing: The Nuannuan you’re talking about isn’t the one I know.
He knew Chun Nuan didn’t do needlework, but her cooking was really good, and managing a household wasn’t something one learns right away.
"From the age of three, Nuannuan was taught by our grandfather to learn Tangtou Song, recognize medicine, make medicine, diagnose." Chun Qing said, "Our mother never taught her how to be a proper girl in the boudoir because the good times were spent either eating or sleeping in the pharmacy, learning from grandfather how to be a good doctor."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Chun Qing looked at Zhao Minghua.
"I understand," Zhao Minghua nodded, "Before we got engaged, Nuannuan also told me she is different from other girls; the reason I had my mother propose the engagement is precisely because of Nuannuan’s uniqueness."
"I promised Nuannuan that before and after marriage she doesn’t need to change, she remains who she is. If there’s anything needed from me, just tell me, I’ll cooperate well, and never hold her back."
Zhao Minghua’s words surprised Chun Qing a bit.
"Can you keep your words?"
"Yes." Zhao Minghua said, "Not only that, I also know the Xiao family’s rules, no concubines for men and not becoming a concubine for women, coincidentally, our Zhao family has similar rules." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"I know our Zhao family’s status doesn’t match with Nuannuan’s, but I don’t want to miss out after meeting her, so I’ll work hard to elevate myself to match her status."
This made Chun Qing develop a liking for the person in front of him.
"Can I trust Nuannuan with you?"
"Rest assured brother, if there’s any mishap, you don’t need to do anything, I’ll cut myself up to feed the dogs."
Chun Qing was somewhat moved.
It seems Nuannuan’s choice is indeed not bad, the person she chose is quite unique.
"Then I’ll trust you this once."
"Trust me, you won’t regret it."
The two young men shook hands firmly, as if reaching some understanding.
Chun Nuan was unaware of the exchange between her brother and her fiancé at this moment.
She was being questioned by her uncle and father.
"We thought you’d be better cared for by relatives when you returned to Shu City, but never expected the first people to step on us in Shu City would be the major clan of the Xiao family." Her uncle, the eldest son of her grandfather, naturally knew how many benefits their family received from the major clan of the Xiao family: "They are really ungrateful and outrageous!"
"Uncle, no need to be angry, no matter how bitter and difficult it was, we’ve come through, and nothing will be harder from now on." Chun Nuan said, "All you need to do now is take good care of your health, waiting for the day we reunite in the Capital."
Will there really be such a day?
"There will be, Uncle, let me check your pulse."
After being in the Northern Desert for more than two years, the body may have suffered greatly and needs some adjustment.
