Chapter 48: Chapter 048 Dry Bean Sprouts

"Second Brother."

Having had her arm wound rebandaged, Xu Nianhua noticed that Xu Nian’an hadn’t come out yet, so she got Du Chang’s permission and walked to the backyard.

As soon as she entered the backyard, it was overwhelming to hear Xu Nian’an praising her, blushing at the endless compliments!

Was she really that outstanding in her second brother’s eyes?

"Little sister, has your medicine been changed? How’s the wound? It hasn’t festered, has it?" Xu Nian’an immediately halted his praises and looked at Xu Nianhua with concern.

"No, Doctor Du said my wound is healing nicely and will be fine in a few days, not a problem at all."

Xu Nianhua raised a smile and spoke cheerfully.

Xu Nian’an looked at Du Chang, and only after Du Chang affirmed that her wound was healing very well did Xu Nian’an happily thank him, paying the one penny fee for the medicine change. Xu Nian’an knew that Doctor Du had undercharged by one penny, but considering they would need to return for more dressing changes, Xu Nian’an thought that next time, they could bring some Mung Bean Jelly, that way they wouldn’t feel like they were at an unfair advantage.

"Doctor Du, my sister and I have other matters to attend to, so we won’t disturb you any longer." Xu Nian’an led Xu Nianhua out.

No sooner had they left the backyard than Du Chang’s gaze fell on Pei Yicheng, who had been ignored by Xu Nianhua but was still holding a bowl of Mung Bean Jelly that had been eaten more than halfway.

"Stop looking, they’re all gone." Du Chang said nonchalantly, picking up his own bowl of Mung Bean Jelly, which, although not very cold, tasted indeed quite good.

"This young lady isn’t bad, maybe I should inquire if she’s spoken for?"

Du Chang liked Xu Nianhua quite a bit; he didn’t care about matching family statuses, as long as the girl was nice, he was interested.

Besides, if one didn’t mention it, who would think that Xu Nianhua came from the countryside?

"Grandfather, this is only the second time we’ve met."

Pei Yicheng put down the bowl of Mung Bean Jelly and, taking a handkerchief out of his pocket, wiped his mouth, saying, "She’s skinny as a bean sprout."

Pei Yicheng thought of her round, limpid eyes which made her face look even smaller.

Xu Nianhua, who had forgotten to ask when to come for the next dressing change, was standing in the hall, and heard everything they said!

Bean sprout? Where did she resemble a bean sprout?

Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but lower her head; while not very plump, the well-developed parts definitely weren’t like bean sprouts at all!

Xu Nianhua pursed her lips, her gaze falling on Pei Yicheng’s feet, deciding it was best not to quarrel with someone with a leg impairment, after all, she was a grown person herself.

Stay calm.

"You little rascal!" Du Chang was about to reprimand Pei Yicheng, telling him not to be so hurtful with his words, when suddenly he felt something and turned his head to see Xu Nianhua, he was startled, and almost dropped his bowl of Mung Bean Jelly.

"Young lady, when did you come? Do you need anything else?"

Although Du Chang was somewhat embarrassed, having lived most of his life, he quickly regained his composure.

Pei Yicheng turned around and saw Xu Nianhua standing under the eaves, the sunlight shining on her, casting a straight shadow on the ground. It was his most awkward moment ever, having talked about someone behind their back.

But there stood Xu Nianhua, as calm as if she hadn’t heard anything, making Pei Yicheng wonder, did she not hear?

He hadn’t finished what he was saying behind her; he just wanted to express that Xu Nianhua was too thin.

"Doctor Du, when should I come for the next dressing change for my wound?" Xu Nianhua’s tone was as usual, betraying nothing else.

Du Chang let out a sigh of relief and said, "The day after tomorrow."
