At this time, a conversation was taking place in the inner courtyard of the Hua family.
Yang Sui'an and Hua Bolin pushed Xiaoliu into the room and surrounded him as soon as the door was closed. "Xiaoliu, you've always been with your elder sister, right?"
Xiaoliu didn't know what the two were going to do, so he nodded cautiously.
"Then let me ask you, why does the eldest sister smell like medicine? Is she injured?"
Several thoughts flashed through Xiaoliu's mind quickly. Sister Hua was a stubborn person. No matter how badly she was injured, she would never come back and say a word, because she knew that even if she said something, no one would be able to share her burden, and she would probably have to comfort those people instead.
But he felt that they should know, at least Berlin should know, that Sister Hua could have been safe, as long as she stayed in the Hua family, no one could hurt her.
But for the Hua family, she had to go out and travel.
Thinking of this, Xiaoliu went to unbutton his clothes.
"Xiao Liu you..." Hua Bailin suddenly understood what was going on and stopped talking, staring at Xiao Liu's movements.
The collar of his shirt was unbuttoned and his shirt was pulled down, revealing the pink scar on his arm.
"There are three more injuries like this. Sister Hua has more injuries than me, and they are more serious." Xiao Liu looked at the two people who were stunned, and slowly tied up his clothes. "If you want to ask if we were in danger when we went out, I tell you, we were trapped on the dock by local bullies. There were hundreds of people besieging us, and Sister Hua didn't step back."
"When... When did my elder sister learn martial arts?" Hua Bolin was asking others, and also asking himself. He really couldn't remember when his elder sister learned self-defense. But it wasn't surprising, because his elder sister knew more than just these.
Yang Sui'an was a few steps older after all, so he thought more, "Did elder sister touch upon the interests of others? Has this trouble been resolved?"
Xiao Liu smiled, "You probably forget that Sister Hua is extremely beautiful because you see her every day. Men out there are not blind, so it's not strange that they like Sister Hua."
"… "
The two brothers didn't think in this direction at all. They found it funny but also proud to hear Xiaoliu point it out. Their eldest sister is good at everything!
It was not until this moment that Xiaoliu realized how much of a change this trip had brought to him. Before, like Berlin, he only cared about the people and things of the capital. But now, in just over a month, everything was different. He even felt that Berlin was too naive and wanted to whip him to force him to grow up quickly.
"Sister Hua doesn't want you to know, so just pretend you don't know."
"We understand."
"I'll go out first. Sister Hua should be back soon."
Hua Bailin stared blankly at Xiaoliu crossing the threshold and leaving. Suddenly, she felt that things between them were different. They had rolled around on the same bed and fought over things on the sandbox not long ago, but he... seemed to have been left behind.
Hua Bolin was not the only one who felt this way. Yang Sui'an felt even more so. He clenched his hands into fists behind his back and said something he had been thinking about for a long time, "I plan to travel for a while."
"Travel?" A bright light suddenly lit up in Hua Bolin's empty heart. Yes, wasn't Xiaoliu's change due to going out? The eldest sister once said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and Xiaoliu is a living example.
"Cousin, take me with you."
Yang Sui'an refused subconsciously, "Going out is not as good as being in the capital..."
"I want to go. I will go by myself even if you don't take me with you!" Hua Bolin interrupted him, "I don't want to be left behind. I don't want to stay in the same place all the time. I don't want to be protected by my elder sister in this comfortable capital city and not be able to help me when something happens!"
Just because they had the same idea, Yang Sui'an couldn't say anything against it. They all wanted to share the burden for their eldest sister, but at the moment they were still a burden to their eldest sister, so how could they share it!
Just, “You’re too young.”
"Being small doesn't mean being stupid or brainless. Besides, you are here with me, my cousin. You will never let me suffer any loss."
"..." Yang Sui'an felt a pain in his chest because of his confident words. He gave him a brain crash and said angrily, "It's useless to tell me. I need the eldest sister's approval."
"My eldest sister will agree." Hua Bailin was sure that his eldest sister, who once said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, would definitely agree. As long as he made up his mind to do something, his eldest sister would never stop him and would even help him cover up, just like before.
There was a noise outside. The two brothers looked at each other and went out together. They saw their eldest sister and Mr. Lu walking in side by side and whispering something.
Hua Bolin held the words in her mouth, "I always feel like I actually have a brother-in-law."
Yang Sui patted him on the back and pushed him over quickly, "Elder sister."
"Are you all hungry? I told you I went to the vegetarian restaurant to discuss something, so I will definitely come back after having dinner. Why are you still waiting for me?"
Shaoyao was clinging to the door with a dying look on her face. "If I don't wait, Brother Yan will throw me out."
Gu Yanxi ignored her, looked down at Ah Zhi's pale face which was faintly tired, and said, "Go and have a rest, don't worry about us."
"It's still early, no rush. You guys eat, I'll go to the study." Hua Zhi smiled at Gu Yanxi, then touched Shaoyao's head soothingly, and motioned the housekeeper waiting on the side to follow her.
"What's the matter?" Hua Zhi asked after entering the study and sitting down.
Butler Xu bowed and replied, "The Fourth House knows that you are back. As soon as you left, the Fourth House sent someone over to ask if you have time to come over tomorrow."
"Of course I have to go at home. Send someone to tell him the truth."
"yes."
Fudong made some tea and Huazhi blew on it. "How is Li De? Is he still useful?"
Butler Xu smiled, "I have been transferred before. Now I just need to teach you those things and you will be able to get started. Don't worry if you lack some experience. You will know everything after a year or two."
"For now, you still have to take the helm. You can slowly let him do the work."
"yes."
Hua Zhi talked about another matter. "I want to find a shop in the area around Zhuangyuan Street. The place should be large, preferably with two floors. You are familiar with the capital, do you know any shops that meet the requirements?"
Butler Xu thought for a moment and asked, "Can it only be near there?"
"It would be best if Fu Donglai took charge of this matter. She won't be able to take care of it if she's too far away."
Fu Dong looked up at the young lady and felt warm in her heart. She did not tell the young lady that many people had been looking for her during this period, promising her huge profits, and some were even willing to give her a name, just to poach her. They thought she could not refuse such conditions, but they had no idea that the young lady never gave her those things.
What the lady gave her was a home.
There are Yingchun, Baoxia and Nianqiu in this family. Quietly, she regards the young lady as the most important family member in the family.
To her, her family is her life, so how could she betray her family
