Gu Hanting looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise. He had no doubt that Qiao Jie said this thing was good. If something could be taken from Hou Zhankui, it must have some weight. Otherwise, the old man would be embarrassed to take it out.

"Girl, he didn't give you this without any meaning behind it, did he? What did he say to you?"

Jiang Qiao shrugged. "You guessed right. Give me a month to learn properly. After a month, let me treat his junior brother's illness."

However, I'm a little unsure.

Qiao Jie waved his hand generously, "It's alright. We have our family's ancestral medicine, plus what you've learned yourself, and this book. It's not a life-threatening illness, so it shouldn't be a problem for you. At worst, we can just give them acupuncture with Western medicine."

Gu Hanting nodded. "That's true. No matter what, since they value you so much, just do your best and don't let them down."

Jiang Qiao asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you think this Hou Diankui is really that amazing?"

Gu Hanting smiled and explained to his granddaughter, "Let me put it this way, back then, people like Hou Diankui were so famous that high-ranking officials and nobles lined up with gold to invite him. Just imagine how famous he was."

Qiao Jie chuckled wryly, "My God, it's all gold! How amazing must this person be? What does he do? He's just a feng shui master or something."

"He doesn't just practice feng shui; he's more skilled at creating feng shui arrangements. People generally don't want to offend someone like him, because a single feng shui arrangement can ruin a family. But I just don't understand how this person ended up in this small county town."

Jiang Qiao didn't say much more. She just needed to know that this person was capable. As for whether he was a good person or not, she couldn't care less for now. As long as he didn't harm her, everything else was fine.

The next evening, Jiang Qiao and Gu Hanting had dinner, told Qiao Jie, and then the grandfather and grandson went out.

Jiang Qiao drove Gu Hanting to the place he mentioned, and then emptied out a lot of coal from her spatial storage. "This should be enough, probably enough for them to burn for a while."

Gu Hanting, who was keeping watch in the distance, turned around and glanced at the towering coal pile behind him, and hummed in agreement.

"Alright, drive outside and wait for me. I'll go over and tell the people from the factory to come and pick it up."

Jiang Qiao left first, but didn't go too far. She was worried that something might happen to the old man. Besides, she was starting to wonder if anyone was still working at the factory. It was already this late; they had probably all gone home for dinner long ago.

When Gu Hanting came to find her, she realized how outrageous her guess had been.

"Huh? They're going to have to work overtime?"

"Of course! There's overtime pay, and they even provide food and lodging. It's a great deal! It saves money for our families, and we can even bring some home for our kids. It's a win-win situation. Everyone's eager to work overtime every day."

Jiang Qiao started the car and gave a wry smile. "I really don't understand what it is about these people that has managed to keep going."

Gu Hanting sighed, "It's just the pressure of life. Although it's tiring, we can always see hope, right? With just a surge of enthusiasm, everyone has been persevering. I really hope that life will get better in the future. The lives of ordinary people are too hard."

Actually, if you hadn't come looking for us, our family would be even worse off than they are. How should I put it? In Grandpa's eyes, you were sent by God to save us.

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Then wouldn't I become an angel?"

The old man nodded in agreement, "That's right, you are the little angel in my heart. Let's drive back."

Jiang Qiao casually asked about the family's food and supplies. "Anything else? When you go back, just bring us some more. That way, everyone will know that our food comes from somewhere."

When they reached a deserted spot on the outskirts of the city, Jiang Qiao put away the truck and switched to a bicycle, while Gu Hanting insisted on riding a bicycle.

"Oh, Grandpa, you can ride this?"

Gu Hanting gave a wry smile. "Little girl, don't underestimate your grandpa. I not only know how to ride it, but I'm extremely good at it. It's just that I haven't ridden this thing in a few years. Let me try it first."

Jiang Qiao protected him from behind, and once the old man had ridden the bike steadily, she ran behind him.

"I'll just consider it a form of exercise."

Gu Hanting knew that Jiang Qiao needed to practice this, and there was a reason why his granddaughter wouldn't come up. The old man didn't ask any more questions, and Jiang Qiao just ran home with the bicycle.

Even Gu Hanting had to admire his granddaughter's stamina, saying, "You're amazing, girl. I didn't expect you to have such good physical strength."

As Jiang Qiao walked, she said, "That's right, I exercise every day. Otherwise, why do you think I'm so thin?"

Jiang Qiao didn't even need to go looking for Song Shutian; he came to her on his own initiative.

The two old men left with their belongings in the morning. Jiang Qiao cooked lunch herself, and Song Shutian came over while she was cooking.

This guy has a keen sense of smell; he found their doorstep without even asking anyone.

"Oh my, Xiao Jiang Qiao is cooking. Make more and bring me a portion out with you."

Upon seeing Song Shutian, Jiang Qiao thought she was seeing things. "How did you find me?"

"Why can't I come? I came to see if you've grown up, or if you've become ugly. But now you look worse than before. I say, little girl, what's wrong with you? Are you starving or what? That shouldn't be the case."

The fact that she can send him things means that this girl has enough to eat. She looks much darker and thinner than before.

Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at him. "Tired and worried, do you think I'd gain weight? Come in and sit down. The food will be ready soon. It's just the two of us, so keep it simple. If you want something better, wait until I rest."

Even though it was simple, Jiang Qiao still prepared a plate of braised beef for Song Shutian.

"Oh ho, you even have this? Little girl, you're quite something. This kind of thing is not commonly seen."

Jiang Qiao snorted, "That's right, you haven't seen much, but I have seen plenty. If I know where cows are gone, I'll just go and buy some. Don't be shy, hurry up and eat, I'm really hungry."

Jiang Qiao ate her food in silence, which annoyed Song Shutian so much that he finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Little girl, why don't you ask me why I'm here?"

Jiang Qiao looked up, blinked, and said with an innocent expression, "Is that even a question? You came here specifically to see me, or you came here on business and happened to be here. It's all the same thing, we've met anyway."

Song Shutian shook his head helplessly. "You little girl, what can I say to you? Can't you ask one more question? I'm telling you, I really have something to do here."

Jiang Qiao nodded, "Oh—"

Then he continued eating with his head down, saying, "If you have anything to say, we can talk after we finish eating."

Song Shutian was completely speechless. How could this little girl have become so unpredictable?

Little did he know that Jiang Qiao already knew about his visit, but she was too lazy to ask any more questions. Besides, eating was the most important thing, and being full was the priority.

To be honest, Song Shutian thought the food at Jiang Qiao's house was already quite good. Jiang Qiao didn't say anything, and he ate in silence.

After Jiang Qiao finished eating, she finally spoke, "Did you come here with a specific purpose, or is it just because of the explosion?"
