Chu Qing did have this idea, but she hadn't had a chance to express it yet. After all, given their current circumstances, wanting to study medicine was still a luxury for her.
Xiaxia is about to start school, and Wei Yutang will no longer go hunting in the mountains during the animal breeding season, which means their family will lose their source of income and can only live off the money they have saved up.
"If you want to learn, I'll find you a master."
"Let's forget about it for now. We only have that much money at home, so we need to be a little more frugal."
The amount of money Wei Yutang gave him seemed like a lot, but when he thought about their expenses, it didn't seem like much anymore, and Chu Qing planned to cut back on his spending.
He didn't know who had left the impression on him, and even though he had no memory of it now, Chu Qing still felt that reading and recognizing characters was a very important thing.
Once again, Chu Qing complained that he didn't earn enough money to spend, and Wei Yutang's face darkened.
But then Wei Yutang thought to himself that he had been in this mountain village for so long, and his hunting results were not bad compared to other hunters.
Even so, the money he earned was still not enough to buy him a single meal in the capital.
"Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of everything."
Wei Yutang's voice is magnetic with a touch of huskiness, giving people a strange sense of security.
“This is our home, so I definitely want to share the burden with you.”
Chu Qing took his hand and walked into the courtyard. She looked up at the exceptionally round moon that day; it was truly beautiful.
Wei Yutang had been wielding weapons for many years, and his palms had long been calloused. The unfamiliar body temperature, which did not belong to him, was now holding his hand tightly and had not let go.
Staring at Chu Qing's delicate profile, he could clearly feel his heartbeat growing louder and louder in the night.
Chapter 111
Chu Qing didn't want to put all the pressure on Wei Yutang alone, otherwise he would feel that he was no different from the original owner in the original story.
"It will be alright, everything will gradually get better."
"If we work together slowly, things will get better someday."
Perhaps it was because the moonlight was so beautiful tonight, or perhaps it was because Chu Qing's words were both unfamiliar and touching to Wei Yutang.
He stepped forward and put his arm around Chu Qing's waist, tentatively pulling him into his embrace.
Chu Qing stiffened the moment Wei Yutang touched him. He wasn't used to being so close to people. When Wei Yutang realized his resistance, he instinctively wanted to let go.
Unexpectedly, after regaining her senses, Chu Qing hugged him and whispered:
"Thank you, thank you for being so tolerant of me when I had such a bad temper."
Chu Qing's words instantly brought the relationship, which had been strained by his resistance, back together, making Wei Yutang wonder if he had been overthinking things.
"fine."
"If you don't have enough silver on you, just tell me."
Previously, when Wei Yutang was alone, he didn't have many demands on his life and didn't bring much money with him. He didn't really realize it before, but now that Chu Qing has mentioned it twice, he has inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
If word got out that he was so concerned about money that he couldn't afford to send his son to school, it would be an absolute joke.
"Seeing you working so hard, I can't bear to see you suffer."
Wei Yutang was very tall, and Chu Qing had to look up to meet his gaze. When he held her in his arms, his broad chest brought her a strange sense of security.
"It's not hard work."
He was just going out to get some money; for Wei Yutang, the long journey was nothing new.
"In a few days, I'll be going out and bringing you back a master."
In just their many conversations, Wei Yutang had already decided which master would be best for Chu Qing. Among the many people who had followed him, there were also those with excellent medical skills.
At the time, he was only thinking about retiring after everything settled down. He thought the environment of this small mountain village was very nice and suitable for those who kept saying they wanted to retire.
Are you going on a long trip? How long will it take you to be back?
"Yes, I'll try to come back as soon as possible, probably around January."
Wei Yutang was not exactly a good person; he had been verbally abused and even pointed fingers at. However, he had a strange persistence in some small matters, such as never going hunting in the mountains during the animal breeding season.
I took advantage of that time to go back to Beijing.
When are you about to leave?
"Let's wait a few more days."
Wei Yutang wouldn't leave until things were settled here. Chu Qing was easygoing, and Xia Xia was still young. Even if he returned to the capital, he would still be thinking about this place until things were settled here properly.
The little guy, who had successfully fooled his father by pretending to be asleep, was lying on the bed with a curious expression. After hearing what his father and father were saying, he angrily crawled back into the covers.
What's wrong with Daddy? He's never held Xiaxia like that before!
Chu Qing found it difficult to fall asleep at night and inexplicably became curious about something. She contacted the system and asked the question in her mind.
Why did Xiaxia like me so much when we first met?
Chu Qing has always felt that children are, in some ways, much more perceptive than adults.
Many things that adults may not realize are easy for children.
When most children are unwilling to go to a certain place, it's probably because they sense something is wrong there, or because someone there doesn't like them.
But with Xiaxia, he never seemed to need to worry about this.
Xiaxia has liked herself ever since she was born.
Chu Qing wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Xia Xia seemed to like him more than Wei Yutang.
The system remained silent for a long time after hearing the host ask this question.
If the system hadn't provided an answer the moment Chu Qing contacted him, people might have doubted whether he was even there.
"The system has no right to interfere too much with things within the host's storyline, but it can remind the host that these are all normal phenomena."
After saying that, the system quickly slipped away, planning to rehearse its story with its owner beforehand when the owner came to visit next time.
This mission target naturally likes the Commander the most, after all, the mission target is a program created by the Marshal himself.
In the initial concept, the Commander's existence was paramount in the programming.
The Marshal's love for the Commander is so strong that even a system that doesn't understand emotions can see it clearly.
Chu Qing wasn't surprised by the system's answer and didn't intend to pry. She changed her position and forced herself to fall asleep.
He always felt that there were many things about this system that he couldn't understand.
It might also be related to the memory she has lost, and occasionally Chu Qing would tentatively ask a couple of questions.
But in most cases, he knew very well that the system was unlikely to tell him the truth until all the tasks were completely completed.
After what happened last night, Wei Yutang suddenly became unusually eager.
He asked a few people he knew here to help take care of his home, assuring them that even when he wasn't home, the Chu family wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Chu Qing.
If it's just about money, that's fine, but if it's about some other random thing, whether he can afford it or not, he doesn't want to get entangled with these people.
When Xiaxia heard that her father was going to leave for a while, she was a little reluctant to part with him. She didn't cling to her father like usual, but instead followed him around like a little tail all day long.
He likes his father, but he has spent most of his time with his father since he was a child. His affection for his father is entirely due to the things his father said to him.
Now that he hears his father is leaving, the little guy is extremely reluctant to part with him.
Seeing Xiaxia's pitiful appearance, Chu Qing thought for a moment and then asked:
"Is it convenient to bring Xiaxia with you to the place you're going? He seems quite reluctant to leave."
Wei Yutang and the little guy next to him were both stunned the moment they heard those words.
One was surprised that he would ask such a question, while the other little guy was so shocked that he hurriedly ran back to his father's side.
He truly couldn't bear to part with his father, but he never considered leaving with him, abandoning his father here alone.
This little guy is quite good at calculating these things.
With a father as capable as him, he could easily go anywhere else without Xiaxia by his side.
But if my father is alone at home, then that's another story.
If that family tries to bully his father again while he's away, he can at least wait until his father returns and tell him about it.
"I don't want to be with you."
Chu Qing had only mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect the little guy's resistance to be so obvious. Helplessly, he reached out and rubbed his temples.
"If you really can't bear to part with him, ask your father if it's convenient for him to take you with him. If it is, he'll take you with him."
He now realizes that the man is hiding many secrets, but he has no intention of asking any further questions.
He believed that if Wei Yutang were to tell him, he would definitely choose a suitable time to do so.
Similarly, if it's not appropriate for me to know, asking too many questions now is also a burden.
"The place I'm going to is a bit far, and I'll be riding a horse along the way. Xiaxia is still too young to come with me."
Wei Yutang leaned over and explained to the father and son that, in addition to the long and arduous journey, the more important reason was that if he were alone, he could complete the round trip in a month at a fast pace.
But if we bring a child as young as Xiaxia, we don't know when we'll be able to come back.
"Yes, I want to stay home with my father."
Xiaxia snuggled up to her father and clung to his arm affectionately.
It would be better to let his father go to such a far place alone; it's more appropriate for him to stay at home with his father.
Not long after Wei Yutang said he was leaving, he had already packed his luggage and contacted friends who could help take care of his home while he was away.
After doing all this, he was still a little uneasy. Although his friends were relatively reliable, there were always people who liked to use underhanded methods.
He took out a token from the most hidden corner of his house and went to the magistrate's house without telling anyone.
Only when everything here is arranged perfectly can he leave with peace of mind.
Chu Qing has been preparing things for him to take when he leaves at home for the past few days. He said the journey is quite long, so she prepared some dry food that can be stored for a long time.
The original owner didn't know where this hunter was from, only that one day he suddenly settled in this village. When curious people asked the village chief, the village chief didn't give any answer.
However, having stayed in this place for so long, leaving suddenly might cause some discomfort.
