Chapter 582 (Page 1/2)

Qiao Yu knew very well that although her mother seemed to live up to her gentle name, she was actually extremely stubborn and opinionated, and would not tolerate her children showing any disobedience to her.

His mother has always liked to be surrounded and coaxed by people around her, as if only this can make her feel satisfied and happy.

This is exactly the reason why even though everyone knew that Qiao Sitian was not the real child of the Qiao family, her mother still refused to give her up.

Just because Qiao Sitian always obeyed her mother's wishes obediently and tried every means to make her happy, her mother could never give up this illegitimate daughter.

However, what Qiao Yu had never expected was that even his elder sister was as stubborn as his mother.

We once agreed not to have any contact with each other, and indeed we have never had any contact for all these years.

Now he even threatens to completely sever ties with the entire Qiao family, but if you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal.

After all, there is not much interaction and time spent together between them. It is enough to know that the other person is living a good life. Perhaps this situation of non-interference with each other is the most ideal state.

Qiao Yan carefully hid the letter sent by Lin Man. He wrote a letter back to Lin Man, but did not send it out. He locked it in the drawer together with the letter he had written before.

Although he didn't go to see her, he had been asking people about her. Knowing that she had been living a good life over the years, he didn't dare to look for her for fear of disturbing her peaceful life.

At noon the next day, Qiao Yan hurried to the Cadre Hospital to visit his sick father who was hospitalized.

The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Father Qiao was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and weak.

The father and son chatted, and the topic unconsciously turned to Lin Man. Qiao Yan said without hesitation: "Dad, she won't go back to the Qiao family. I won't bother her anymore."

Hearing this, Qiao Hongbin, Qiao's father, couldn't help but gasp. He struggled to stand up and asked anxiously, "Third brother, I really want to meet her! If I can't see her, I'm afraid I'll never have this chance again in my life."

Qiao Yan looked at his father's haggard face, his heart aching, but he still hardened his heart: "Dad, you know she doesn't want to come back at all.

If we had known from the beginning that Qiao Sitian was not our child, we should have immediately published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with her and sent the person who stole the child to jail.

Maybe by doing this, she might change her mind and return to our family. But we didn't stand firm at the beginning... Well, it's only natural that she doesn't want to come back and recognize her ancestors.

So, Dad, don't hold out too much hope, she really won't come back."

After hearing this, Qiao Hongbin was overwhelmed with regret. He sighed heavily and said, "Yes, Third Brother, now I think about it, I really regret it! If we had known that the Wang family would fall and Qiao Sitian would end up being executed, we should not have hesitated. We should have decisively drawn a line between us and Qiao Sitian and brought my granddaughter home!"

At this point, Qiao Hongbin was already in tears. He tightly grasped Qiao Yan's hand and said in a trembling voice:

"Third brother, if I die one day, if you have the chance to see her, please tell her you're sorry for me! This is all our fault. We are the ones who let her down..."

Qiao Yan comforted him, "Dad, take good care of yourself, you will get better eventually. When she suddenly comes to her senses one day, maybe she will come to see you."

Qiao Yan and Qiao Hongbin, father and son, both knew in their hearts that Lin Man would never come to see them in this lifetime.

Lin Man had no idea that the father and son of the Qiao family had already felt remorseful. Even if she knew about this, she probably wouldn't take it to heart.

After all, for Lin Man at this moment, the Qiao family is not worth her attention at all.

She was now extremely busy and overwhelmed. The various chores at home were enough to keep her busy, but what made her even more overwhelmed was the mountain of work waiting for her to complete in her space.

The spiritual fields were laden with fruit, countless of them hanging from the branches. To ensure a successful harvest next time and without affecting the normal honey production of the spiritual bees, she needed to pick all the ripe fruits and store them properly.

However, these fruits in the foggy space have a bit of spiritual energy, and Lin Man has no plans to sell them.

She stored all the spiritual fruits she picked, and when she had free time, she would take out some to process and turn them into delicious preserved fruits, dried fruits or canned fruits.

As a result, she spent almost a whole month processing those spiritual fruits.

As for the chicks, ducklings, geese, and lambs that had hatched earlier, she had no time to care for them. She could only set aside an area to keep them in captivity, throwing in some fresh vegetables and fruits grown in the spiritual fields every day, and letting them grow freely, leaving their fate to fate.

Even the three one-pound turtle fry that Huo Qingci specially caught for her, she just threw them into the creek and ignored them.

As for where these turtle fry had crawled to, she didn't have the energy to look for them.

Just last night, when she asked the children what they wanted to eat, she originally planned to make some delicious snacks for them, but the children answered in unison that they wanted to eat pheasant meat and pheasant eggs!

After hearing the children's request, Lin Man had an idea in mind and decided to go to Lingshou Mountain again to catch the golden pheasant to fulfill the children's wish.

This time when she went up the mountain, she was fully prepared. Not only did she carry a huge backpack, but she also held a formidable electric baton and an extremely sharp axe in her hands.

The electric baton is specially used to hit those poisonous snakes lurking in the grass to prevent them from suddenly jumping out and hurting people.

The axe was intended to be used to cut firewood encountered along the way and split trees that blocked the road.

With full of anticipation and uneasiness, she first came to the place where she had picked up pheasant eggs for the first time.

However, to her disappointment, the place was now empty and there was not even a shadow of an egg.

Although she was a little frustrated, she did not give up. Instead, she continued to move forward for dozens of meters with firm steps.

At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a green figure slowly crawling not far ahead.

Taking a closer look, she discovered a green snake about a meter long! With years of experience, she could tell just by observing the snake's tail that it wasn't the highly venomous Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

Despite this, snakes with such bright and eye-catching colors are often poisonous, so you still need to be more careful.

At this moment, Lin Man couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Should she choose to carefully circumvent this little snake to avoid a head-on conflict with it?

Or should you muster up the courage, pick up the electric baton in your hand and take the initiative to fight it off?

Just as she was hesitating, the little green snake seemed to sense the threat from humans. It suddenly took off into the air and pounced towards her at lightning speed.

Faced with this sudden change, Lin Man had no time to think. Almost instinctively, she raised the electric baton in her hand and without hesitation shocked the little green snake that was attacking her.

In an instant, there was a sudden "sizzling" sound of electricity, followed by a pungent and unpleasant smell of burning in the air.

Looking at the little green snake again, it had been hit by the powerful electric current and fell straight onto the grass beside it, unable to move at all.

Lin Man didn't even look at the green snake's corpse on the ground, and continued to walk forward with firm steps without hesitation.

After walking for a few minutes, she suddenly discovered a dense nest of snakes not far ahead! A rough count revealed at least 20 to 30 of them.

Faced with such a large number of snakes, the electric baton in his hand was obviously of no use.

Lin Man made a prompt decision and decided to use his powerful lightning ability to eliminate these hateful guys in one fell swoop.

She quickly condensed a huge ball of lightning in her hands, and then smashed it towards the snake's nest.

However, this hit caused an unexpected consequence - the loud noise made by the lightning ball when it landed actually startled a spirit deer that was concentrating on foraging nearby.

This spirit deer was agile and quick to react. When it sensed danger, it immediately started running away.

However, Lin Man was also quite agile. Almost instantly, she activated the surrounding vines, sweeping towards the spirit deer like a flash of green lightning.

In the blink of an eye, those flexible vines tightly wrapped around the spirit deer's body, making it unable to move.

Then, Lin Man effortlessly dragged the bound spirit deer back to the villa, untied the vines, and threw it casually on the grass.

I thought to myself: Let me keep this guy for a few days, and then kill him and eat his meat during the Chinese New Year.

After dealing with the spirit deer, Lin Man did not stop, but turned around and entered the foggy space again.

This time, she headed straight for the Spirit Beast Mountain. After some diligent searching and skillful catching, she successfully captured three colorful golden pheasants, four swift-moving Swift Rabbits, and a dozen small Spirit Sparrows.

What’s even more surprising is that she picked up a total of forty-three colorful eggs that were emitting charming light!

Lin Man, with a bountiful harvest, happily walked out of the foggy space with the prey.

She put the colorful pheasants, rabbits and sparrows into the cage and threw some fruit in.

Then he left the space with a colorful pheasant, a swift rabbit and dozens of colorful brocade eggs.

After returning to the living room, she began to prepare lunch. Lin Man skillfully handled the ingredients. She killed and plucked the colorful pheasant, cleaned it, put it in the pot, added various seasonings, and slowly stewed it into a delicious chicken soup.

The Swift Rabbit was killed, skinned, and cut into small pieces to make spicy and delicious Spicy Rabbit Dices. As for the Colorful Eggs, they were naturally most nutritious when boiled in water.

Considering the children at home, Lin Man specially took out eight colorful eggs.

She planned to cook the twelve eggs at noon and give two to each child and grandfather. She and Huo Qingci would only need one each.
