After seeing the doctor off, Madam Su went to watch her son, who was rarely lying quietly, with a lovely face. It was such a curious coincidence. Madam Su pulled up her son's clothes and touched her son's belly, which was white and shrunken because he hadn't had a good meal for a long time.

When a group of people entered the room, they saw this scene. Su Da-sao drew up the corner of her mouth and hurried pulled up Madam Su, who was half-squatting. "Niang, do you really believe what the doctor said?"

Madam Su awkwardly touched her nose and said nothing.

Father Su glanced at Madam Su displeasingly, then turned to the crowd and said, "Let's leave everything alone." Then Father Su stayed with Madam Su to keep watch on Su Qingbai.

As a matter of fact, Father Su had a good family before he became an official. There were lots of fields in his family and the house was also well built. But after Father Su was dismissed from office, the fields were all confiscated. Because all of the officials didn't want to be cold-blooded, so they didn't completely cut short his escape route and left the old house to him in any case.

Su Qingyang came back with several pairs of medicines for Su Qingbai. After Su Qingbai was fed with medicine, the family took a rest.

The next morning everyone got up late, but Su Qingbai was the earliest. He opened his eyes and saw himself sleeping in his mother's arms like a child. Su Qingbai's white face blushed. He was uncomfortable and tried to get out of Madam Su's arms.

Su Qingbai's action woke Madam Su up. Madam Su was sleeping in her clothes. She stayed with Su Qingbai until she fell asleep very late. She sat up and looked surprised. "Qingbai, are you awake?"

Su Qingbai felt extremely awkward. If someone knew he's sixteen years old and slept with his parents, people would laugh at him to death.

At this time, Father Su also woke up and looked at his little son's awkwardness. He remembered what Madam Su had told him last time when Su Qingbai smeared his face with the things that women used, and suddenly he had no breath at all. "A man has the determination to make a difference, what's with the awkwardness?"

Su Qingbai was afraid of his father from an early age. When he heard this, he quickly got out of bed but found himself powerless.

"What's wrong with me?" Su Qingbai was worried.

"The doctor said you didn't have a good rest and a good meal, which damaged your health." Madam Su most hard to bear was to see her son suffered a hardship. Now when she saw her son wake up, she couldn't help saying, "Is it because of Sun Yun that you didn't have a good rest and didn't dare to eat?"

Sun Yun was Su Er-sao.

"What are you talking about in front of the child?" Father Su was not happy with Sun Yun, but in the end, he was the head of the family, and so he wanted to see harmony and unity in his family. Therefore he stopped Madam Su from going on and broke the brotherhood between Su Qingtong and Su Qingbai. Father Su was very worried about his little son. His sons should not fight. Now he's alive and he's watching over him. What if he's gone someday? By then, his little son would have to rely on his two elder brothers.

Su Qingbai was relieved when he heard the words, "It's none of other people's business. It's me, I can't eat."

Father Su nodded. "After all, your Er-ge still loves you dearly."

...

Su Qingbai had to lie in bed these days. Every day, besides eating and drinking medicine, he just slept, which was extremely hard to bear.

The day Su Qingbai finished his medicines, Su Qingyang invited the doctor again.

After taking Su Qingbai's pulse, the doctor said, "There's nothing seriously wrong with your body, but..." The old doctor looked at Su Qingbai, entangled. "I still read joy pulse after more than a month."

Su Family's people thought it's ridiculous. Su Qingbai was a boy, how could he get pregnant?

Su Qingbai himself was the only one who thought about the days he spent with a man.

Then he quickly denied the absurd idea. He's a man and could not be pregnant.

He breathed in disorder, then lay down and forced himself to sleep. He didn't want to scare himself anymore.

In this way, Su Qingbai was getting better and better. As time went by, no one had put the doctor's words into their heart. Even Su Qingbai, who was somewhat feeling guilty, had gradually forgotten about it.

Su Family came to Ning County in between March and April when the seeds were planted.

Without mentioning Su Qingbai's concerns, the Su Family's people who came to Ning County were faced with a serious problem: the problem of food.

Father Su brought the family together.

"There are only seven taels of silver left in our family. I want you to come here today to figure out and see how we can live in the future."

Su Er-sao complained: "Originally the family doesn't have land and now have to pay for the little brother-in-law to see a doctor. How long will this money last for us?"

"Shut up!" Su Qingtong said to her.

Su Family's people had never suffered hardship, and after half a day of discussion, they did not come to a conclusion. Father Su listened to the whole family clamoring and was upset. He then let the whole crowd dispersed.

Back in his room, Su Qingbai, who only knew how to ask for money, began to care about his livelihood. Unexpectedly, he saw the jade button on his wrist, which was left by that man.

Su Qingbai took it off. The jade button was a common piece. The only thing that could make people see more was the pattern on it. It looked delicate and beautiful. Now the family could be said to have no way to go, he thought, this jade button should be able to exchange for a few taels. If added with the seven taels in his dad's hands, they would have ten taels.

He grabbed the jade button. The bastard took advantage of him and he had to lie in bed for so many days. He also did not know what the other person's name was or where he came from.

"Da-ge, I have a jade button here. You can take it and maybe exchange it for a couple of silvers."

Su Qingyang did not answer. He looked at Father Su.

Father Su sighed. "Take it."

The jade button looked small and ordinary, and the Su Family's people reckoned that two taels of silver would be firm and indomitable.

After a while, Da-ge came back with a big bag in his arms.

Father Su opened his mouth and asked him, "How much money did it pay?"

Su Qingyang's face was rather complicated. He pulled something out of his waist and opened his hand. It was the jade button that everyone saw clearly.

Madam Su looked mournful. "Why does it not pawn out?"

Su Er-sao also sighed, "What can we do about this? How can we live in the future?"

Before Su Er-sao finished complaining, Su Qingyang poured out a small pile of silver ingots from the bag in his arms.

"This, what's with this?" In spite of the fact that Father Su had always been very calm, but now he was also a little confused. Wasn't the jade Button not pawn out properly? What's with the silvers?

Su Qingbai vacantly opened his shiny black eyes and his cheeks bulging. That's too much.

Father Su took a breath. "Da'er, what actually is going on?"

Su Qingyang looked away from Su Qingbai. "Today I went to the county and started to go to a small pawnshop, but the pawnshop only offered me two coins, so I didn't exchange it. Then I went to the biggest pawnshop in the county, thinking that other people won't be coveting us for such a little silver. Unexpectedly, when I handed the jade button to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper gave me one hundred taels, and also the jade button."
