Chapter 22 Jade Bracelet

When Bai Aigang saw his daughter faint, he hurriedly picked up Bai Xue and ran to the barefoot doctor's house in the village.

When Ermazi saw Bai Aigang running away, he followed him. Seeing this, the villagers also followed to watch the fun.

"Brother, did you see that? You should stay away from her in the future." Qi Xinlan was a little angry and pouted.

Last night Xu Minghao said that he would come to see her this morning and said he had something to give her. She wanted to ask what it was, but he said it was a secret, which made her feel as uncomfortable as if she had been scratched by a cat.

But after waiting for a long time at home, he didn't see anyone. He was worried and went out to check. He saw Bai Xue jumping into the river by herself. When he was wondering if Bai Xue was mentally ill, he saw Xu Minghao trying to jump into the river to save her.

What else doesn't she understand?

If she hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed Xu Minghao, Bai Xue would have definitely blamed Xu Minghao for saving her life. Thinking of this, her heart ached.

Just a little bit! Just a little bit!

"Well, I will. Next time I see her, I will take a detour." Xu Minghao said with a smile when he saw Qi Xinlan's pouting mouth was so tight that an oil bottle could be hung on it.

"You're still laughing. I'm serious. If you really go to save her, I'll ignore you." Seeing that Xu Minghao didn't take it seriously, Qi Xinlan clenched her little pink fist and hit him on the chest in anger.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. This is for you." Xu Minghao grabbed Qi Xinlan's little hand and stuffed a box into her hand.

"What is this?" Qi Xinlan looked at the antique box in her hand and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Open it and take a look." Xu Minghao said gently.

When Qi Xinlan opened the box and saw the jade bracelet inside, she burst into tears. This was the token of love that Xu Minghao gave her in her previous life.

It was just that in her previous life she didn't like him and didn't want him, but he forced her to wear it and she couldn't take it off.

After she married that man, she was abused every day. One time, he even accidentally broke her bracelet...

That was her only spiritual sustenance in her dark days. When the jade bracelet was broken, her heart died, so she poisoned all those who bullied her.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry..." Xu Minghao was most afraid of Qi Xinlan crying. He was suddenly at a loss and clumsily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his rough big hands.

"No, brother, I'm just too happy. You gave me such a valuable gift, and I'm crying for joy." Qi Xinlan came back to her senses, calmed down, and said with a bright smile.

"Silly girl, it's just a bracelet. It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. As long as you are happy, it's fine." Xu Minghao said lovingly.

What Qi Xinlan said was true. This was the Xu family's ancestral jade bracelet, passed down to daughters and not sons. The fact that it was able to survive that movement showed how valuable it was!

Seeing that Qi Xinlan stopped crying, Xu Minghao took the bracelet out of the box and put it on Qi Xinlan's hand.

The magical thing is that after putting on the bracelet, I couldn’t take it off no matter what, just like in my previous life.

When they weren't paying attention, the jade bracelet flashed dimly, so fast that it was impossible to catch it...

Xu Minghao and Qi Xinlan went home together. They met many people on the way. They all looked at them with ambiguous eyes. Some bold women even teased them directly.

Xu Minghao was smiling all the way, but Qi Xinlan's face was red all the way.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into Qi Xinwei carrying a hoe and Qi Guohui leaning on a crutch.

"Dad, brother, where are you going?" Qi Xinlan asked curiously.

"I went to hoe the fields, but my dad insisted on going with me, saying he wanted to help me weed." Qi Xinwei got angry when he talked about this. His foot had finally gotten a little better this year, and he could walk normally with crutches. If he didn't stay at home to take good care of himself, it would be very disturbing. What if there was a problem and it became serious? What should he do?

"There's nothing wrong with my foot. I'll just sit at home anyway. I might as well go out and weed with Xinwei. The doctor also said that I need to exercise my feet properly." Qi Guohui looked dissatisfied. Ever since he had problems with his feet, his family made him lie in bed. He was almost getting moldy.

"Dad, let my brother and I go to the fields. You can walk around. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, let alone your foot. The most taboo thing about this foot injury is bending over, which can easily aggravate the injury." Xu Minghao also disagreed.

"Well... okay then." Qi Guohui was stunned when he heard Xu Minghao calling him dad.

"Okay, little sister, you take dad around. Haozi, let's go to the fields." When Qi Xinwei heard his father agreed, he immediately pulled Xu Minghao away, fearing that his father would change his mind and follow them again.

Besides, the last time he took his father to work, he had to pay attention to his condition from time to time, and he couldn't concentrate on his work.

"Dad, let me take you for a walk." Qi Xinlan said while supporting Qi Guohui.

"Then let's go for a walk over to the banyan tree." Qi Guohui said.

A group of old men and women gathered under the banyan tree, chatting about gossip.

"Have you heard? Bai Xue has become very beautiful recently." said an aunt in a black cotton coat.

"Aunt Li, what's so strange about this? It just has two eyes, a nose and a mouth," said an aunt with a somewhat mean look.

"Hey, Aunt Yang, Aunt Li, you are all out of date. I just heard from others that Er Mazi saved a girl. Can you guess who it is?" Mrs. Chen said mysteriously.

"Who is it?" Aunt Li and Aunt Yang asked in unison.

"It's Bai Xue!" said Mrs. Chen.

"Oh my goodness, is this pockmarked guy so lucky?" Aunt Li said. She had seen Bai Xue. She was very beautiful recently. Her son was so fascinated by her that he was at a loss as to what to do. She was worried about Bai Xue's family background. She looked down on her. The whole family depended on Bai Aigang for support. They were extremely poor, unlike her son who had a formal job in the town.
