Chapter 740 (Page 1/2)

After returning home, she couldn't wait to tell her grandfather Huo Li about this.

Huo Li frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he reminded: "Xiao Man, have you ever thought about whether this money might be sent to you by the Qiao family?"

Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but shook her head and replied with a puzzled look on her face: "Impossible, Grandpa. We haven't had any dealings with the Qiao family for so many years. Why would they suddenly send me money at this time?"

However, Huo Li analyzed thoughtfully, "Perhaps their conscience has been awakened. If you really want to find out whether they sent it, I can call Minister Qiao and ask him personally if it was him who sent it."

Lin Man nodded quickly and said, "That's great, Grandpa! Then please ask him for me. If it really was sent by them, I will definitely send the money back intact."

At this moment, Huo Li finally remembered to ask for the specific amount, so he asked, "How much money did they send you this time?"

Lin Man stretched out a palm and shook it, saying, "That's a full five hundred dollars!"

After she finished speaking, she frowned, her heart filled with doubts and confusion.

She had clearly cut off all contact with them, so why did she suddenly receive money from them? Lin Man was really puzzled.

Is it because the Qiao family is living too smoothly these days and has too much money to spend, so they suddenly want to go back and repair the broken relationship?

The thought of this made her feel disgusted. Since they had already decided to cut off contact, why couldn't they just treat each other like strangers, treating each other like air? What was the purpose of doing this out of the blue?

Huo Li comforted him softly, "Xiao Man, your parents are not young anymore. If they sincerely want to make up for what they owe you..." However, before he could finish, Lin Man interrupted him excitedly.

"Grandpa, please stop talking! They never raised me for even a day, and there's no love between us. This is perfectly normal.

If they really wanted to compensate me, when the incident was exposed, they should have decisively sent the hateful woman who stole the child to prison and immediately let Qiao Sitian return to her own home.

But they didn't do that! Not only that, they even continued to keep in touch with Qiao Sitian, and in the end they just casually told me to go back.

From the beginning to the end, they have never given a single cent for me. Why should I recognize such parents?

They suddenly sent me money. Could it be that they are not feeling well and want me to donate my kidney or liver?"

After hearing Lin Man's words, Huo Li suddenly jumped back as if struck by lightning. A look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he stammered:

"Xiao Man, please don't let your imagination run wild! Minister Qiao is in great shape. If he really was feeling unwell, he would have stepped down long ago."

However, Lin Man was not moved at all. She looked at Huo Li firmly and asked in a serious tone, "He himself is fine, but his wife and his two beloved sons are not sick either?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly send me five hundred yuan when he has ignored us all these years? What on earth is going on here? "

Faced with Lin Man's barrage of questions, Huo Li was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth to argue, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a complete syllable.

After a long while, he finally managed to utter, "This... maybe there's some misunderstanding here."

But Lin Man was not willing to let go of this topic so easily. She immediately continued, "Back then, Ling Fei was forcibly brought back by the Wang family, wasn't it just to remove her kidney and give it to that old man Wang for a transplant?

Grandpa, tell me, could it be that this time, the old man or old lady of the Qiao family is in poor health and urgently needs a kidney transplant, so Minister Qiao thought of me?"

Huo Li shook his head repeatedly. "I haven't heard that Commissioner Qiao has any problems with his heart, liver, or kidneys. Even if he does have health problems, he still has so many grandchildren. How could he possibly ask you, a granddaughter with whom he barely interacts, to donate a kidney for him?"

Lin Man couldn't help but pout, thinking to herself: Isn't this how the Wang family acted in the past? To ensure the long-term prosperity of the entire family, they chose to sacrifice a younger generation who was deemed useless without hesitation. This cold and ruthless behavior is truly chilling.

Thinking of this, Lin Man raised her head and said to Huo Li in front of her, "Grandpa, could you please help me call that person and confirm whether this money was sent by him. If it was indeed sent by him, then I have to return the money to him quickly."

Huo Li nodded slightly, agreeing, "Okay, then I'll help you make the call later and find out what's going on."

After saying that, he took Lin Man’s remittance slip and turned away.

Lin Man watched her grandfather leave and gently closed the door.

Then, like a deflated ball, she slowly collapsed on the sofa with a tired look on her face, as if she had lost all her strength.

After a short rest, Lin Manqiang pulled himself together, stood up, and slowly walked towards his room.

After entering the room, she sat down at the desk, took out a piece of exquisite letter paper from the drawer, picked up a pen and began to write a letter to Huo Qingci.

The tip of the pen slid gently across the paper, and lines of beautiful handwriting gradually emerged.

After writing the letter and putting it away, Lin Man stood up and entered the space. As soon as she entered the foggy space, the fresh air and the green scenery hit her face.

Lin Man walked straight to the spiritual field, looked at the orchids that were thriving, and carefully checked the growth condition of each orchid.

She was thinking to herself that she had just bought two courtyard houses and needed to find a way to grow more Clivias.

When the time is right, these Clivias will be transplanted to the newly purchased courtyard houses, and the two newly purchased courtyard houses will be turned into bases specifically for growing orchids.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a hint of expectant smile.

After visiting the orchid field, Lin Man did not forget to sow a handful of strawberry seeds in the spiritual field where she planted fruits and vegetables last year.

When she cultivated more vigorous strawberry seedlings, she would plant them in the Huo family's courtyard.

In the second half of the year, her eldest son, Huo Yining, will be coming to the city to attend high school! He will likely stay at the Huo family's ancestral home on Saturdays and Sundays, so she has to find a way to grow more of his favorite strawberries in the old house.
