The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1969 - 143: Suddenly Feeling Sympathy

But, is this really too ugly?

The stitches are crooked and twisted, making it hard to look at directly.

Yixuan: "..."

He glanced at Fifth Brother and suddenly felt quite sympathetic.

He hesitated, unsure whether to be honest with his ’critique’ or to save Fifth Brother some face. But these sorts of things really weren’t suited for Fifth Brother; needlework requires patience, and Fifth Brother is clumsy and quick-tempered. It’s truly impressive that he could sit quietly and deal with needlework.

He thought again, surely it must be different now that he’s a father?

Perhaps this is another form of maturity.

"Ahem."

Yixuan covered his face with his fist, using a light cough to hide his amusement.

Liang Yuening: "..."

Kid, if you want to laugh, just laugh. I know I’m really not talented in these things.

Holding the needlework and looking at this half-finished little garment, Yuening felt a bit discouraged.

"Come, let’s sit down first."

Yixuan pulled Fifth Brother to sit down and then started instructing him hand in hand, "First, you need to cut out a clothing pattern, then sew according to the pattern."

The brothers leaned together, one explaining earnestly, the other listening intently, creating quite a harmonious scene.

...

Among the elders of the Qin family, besides the Second Elder, Third Elder was the most lively.

Second Elder had a strong sense of utility, while Third Elder was more carefree and cautious.

For example, Yue Ning had stayed so long at the Qin family but had never seen Third Elder. The latter seemed especially composed, usually residing in her own area, either cultivating flowers or planting grass, giving a rather detached impression.

When Second Elder came, Third Elder was holding a hoe, working in the yard. She had specially cultivated a vegetable patch in the yard, dressed in plain clothes, no different from ordinary elders, not at all like someone used to living in comfort. Instead, she exuded a rustic quality reminiscent of farmers.

Just looking at her calm demeanor, she seemed like a hermit from the outside world, difficult to associate with any scheming or bloodshed.

Third Elder maintained herself well, appearing younger than Second Elder, even though she was also slightly younger in age.

Her skin didn’t share the pale and noble quality from lack of sun like Old Lady Qin and Second Elder, but was instead a deeper color, looking healthier.

"How come old sister has time to visit her little sister here?"

Third Elder put down the hoe, and a servant handed her a wet cloth.

She wiped her hands, rolled down her sleeves after farming, and invited Second Elder to sit nearby.

Second Elder’s face did not look good.

"Lao San! Although you stay secluded in one corner, I know with such a big matter in the family, it can’t be kept from you."

Second Elder spoke clearly, acknowledging that Yue Ning’s residence had spies planted by Third Elder, while Second Elder herself also had scouts placed by Third Elder.

She was merely pretending to be clueless.

Third Elder sat on a wicker chair and poured herself a cup of barley tea.

Even when drinking tea, she did things uniquely. Barley tea, known as coarse tea, had an earthy aroma whether smelled or sipped.

Others savor fine teas, like Longjing or Biluochun, but she preferred the most common and cheapest coarse barley tea.

She poured a cup for Second Elder, who glanced at it with a hint of disdain.

Third Elder laughed and said, "Second sister is still the same old self."
