Chapter 33 Sooner or later, the financial power will be handed over to you
Ye Xiaomei originally wanted to tell him about Zhang Changjiang, but she was only at the Ye family that day. If Brother Ma had taught Zhang Changjiang a lesson in the county, that piece of land was his Zhang family's territory, and he would inevitably be outnumbered and end up hurting Ma Qijun.
Seeing that she agreed, Ma Qijun smiled with satisfaction.
When the car stopped at the gate of the Ma family, Ye Xiaomei looked at Ma Qijun, got out of the car carefully, and shouted across the low wall:
"Auntie."
"Hey, Xiaomei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come in and sit down."
Wang Lan wiped her hands on her apron and opened the gate.
Ye Xiaomei was too embarrassed to go in. It was said that once the wedding date was set, two people could not interact so recklessly. She just asked through the fence:
"Auntie, do you like to eat loaches? Oh, and eels?"
Wang Lan was confused. She looked at her son and then at Ye Xiaomei: "How did you know that Auntie likes to eat? This... this is really thoughtful of you."
Ye Xiaomei looked at Ma Qijun in surprise. He indeed did not give any hints.
Ye Xiaomei then passed the bamboo basket to her across the low wall. When Wang Lan opened it, her eyes widened:
"Oh, it's really big, Xiaomei. You don't know, this yellow eel with bones removed and fried with lettuce tastes like dragon meat. And this loach, spit out the mud and deep-fry the whole thing, even the bones are crispy."
Seeing Wang Lan's greedy face, Ye Xiaomei felt more at ease, and decided not to take the money:
"Then Auntie, keep it for yourself. I'm going back now."
Ma Qijun's face darkened. Was this plan wrong again? Why did he run away? He finally came here and he ran away again.
He quickly winked at his mother, and Wang Lan almost shook her nose before she responded:
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, Xiaomei. Don't listen to those superstitious people. Whoever said we couldn't meet, I'll tear apart the mouth of anyone who says something stupid."
Ye Xiaomei was dragged into the yard in such a brutal manner.
Wang Lan was afraid that she would not be able to keep the guests, so she was busy dealing with the eels and loaches, and she did not forget to find things to talk about to keep Ye Xiaomei busy:
"In fact, the rule that couples cannot meet after getting engaged is unwritten. It is just made up by the matchmakers. Why do you think that is?"
Ye Xiaomei sat in the shade, drinking the tea her future mother-in-law had brewed for her. She was a little curious when she heard this: "Why?"
Wang Lan's personality meant that she had a loud voice, but she explained the matter clearly and in detail:
"Why else? If the date is set, don't we have to discuss the arrangements for the wedding? If a matchmaker has a different opinion, she will have the opportunity to run errands in the middle. We don't know how she passed the message, but she can get benefits from the other party by making up a few words."
“……”So that’s how it is. Ye Xiaomei felt that she knew too little.
"In my opinion, it's just to get more benefits."
Wang Lan cursed and said, "To put it bluntly, they are all traps. From the outer circle to the inner circle, they can't trap the conscience."
They also talked about their distant relatives. They had originally agreed on the marriage, but the matchmaker, in order to gain benefits, played a trick in the middle, asking for a little from the man and a little from the woman. She made a lot of money from it.
When talking about another example, Wang Lan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
It's about a woman who gets pregnant before marriage, and the man is sure that no matter how he tries to trick her, she won't break off the engagement, and he even gives her lots of red envelopes. But when things get out of hand, the woman asks him to take the baby away and the marriage falls through.
Later, the man found out about this and beat the matchmaker so hard that she stayed in the hospital for two months.
When Ye Xiaomei heard this, she covered her nose and burst out laughing.
From the window of the new house, Ma Qijun watched the harmonious scene, his lips curled up into a smile full of happiness. He was certain that when Xiaomei came to his home, she would definitely be spoiled like her mother's biological daughter.
On the contrary, Ye Xiaomei's eyes widened instantly as she watched her future mother-in-law nail the eel's head to the wooden board with a nail, pull the eel's tail with one hand, and skillfully remove the triangular bone with the triangular blade:
"Auntie, who did you learn this technique from?"
Wang Lan waved her hand with a smile: "I learned it when I was a kid. My dad, your future grandpa, is first-rate at catching fish and eels. Killing pigs and sheep is no problem at all. I learned it by watching him."
"Wow! Auntie, you can also kill pigs and sheep, you are amazing."
Ye Xiaomei's eyes rolled around. If she had these abilities, she would have been able to support her mother and Xiaoya long ago. Especially these bloody things, Ye Xiaomei had been afraid since she was a child. She never expected that her future mother-in-law would be so tough.
This exclamation made Wang Lan look proud: "Of course, you can't manage this household without some skills. But after you marry me, you won't have to do these heavy jobs. I, your mother-in-law, have plenty of strength, and it won't be your turn."
But a little sadness flowed through my heart. It was because I liked this girl too much, right? Which girl would be willing to take care of her son, a man who would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?
She just thought that if she was nicer to her daughter-in-law, she would be able to pay more attention to her own son.
Ma Qijun in the room looked at her with admiration and burst out laughing. Her expression was like a child who had discovered a new way to play a game.
Suddenly Ye Xiaomei lowered her head shyly.
"Oh, are you still shy? If you marry me, you will be my daughter, right? There is nothing to be shy about. Go ahead and talk to Qijun. You young people must have endless private conversations."
Wang Lan was an experienced person and she knew at a glance that this girl was soft and gentle, and she was shy just because someone said such a casual thing.
Suddenly Ma Qijun remembered something, took out a passbook from his jacket pocket, and the curve of his mouth gradually relaxed.
"Boss, the city's military general hospital called and asked you to go there tomorrow." Heizi stared at Ma Qijun's back for a long time in the room. In fact, he only said half of some of the words.
"So urgent?" Ma Qijun asked back.
"Well, the call was made to the village party committee, or... or the director of the hospital called personally."
"President Liao?"
"That's right. Otherwise, boss, you should go tomorrow. Maybe the commander has already informed the Army General Hospital about your condition. The situation may not be optimistic." Heizi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet before vaguely explaining the situation.
Ma Qijun turned around and looked at Heizi: "Just say what you want to say."
"No, no, that's the situation." Heizi waved his hand hastily: "We just invited a few retired military doctors to collectively diagnose you, but those seniors are all old, and it's not easy to invite them from all over the country."
"Hmm!" Ma Qijun didn't say anything, but just suddenly looked outside the door.
Heizi understood and opened the door, just in time to see Ye Xiaomei's hand stuck in mid-air while knocking on the door:
"Sister-in-law, please come in." Heizi let Ye Xiaomei in and consciously left the room and closed the door.
Ye Xiaomei saw him sitting in a wheelchair under the window frame, while she sat far away at Ma Qijun's desk:
"Are you going to the city tomorrow?"
Ma Qijun knew that she had heard everything, and perhaps she was afraid of seeing him nervously wandering outside for a while:
"I'll go through the process."
Ye Xiaomei felt upset. Through her, she came to read medical books. If his injury was treated in the field of Western medicine, if it had not been rehabilitated for such a long time to prevent further deterioration, the only option would be amputation surgery.
By that time, it might be too late to save the situation. "Then, can't you wait for half a month?"
In the next half month, Ye Xiaomei will try to get the whole set of medicine together, and she also found an auxiliary treatment from the internal evidence notes, which is acupuncture.
In order to memorize the acupuncture points, she stayed awake for two days and two nights, until she could see the image of the acupuncture points on the human body with her eyes closed.
Ma Qijun glanced at Ye Xiaomei. Although she lowered her head and didn't look at him, it was obvious that she cared about him:
"Don't worry, I'm just going to go through the process. You've heard that the higher-ups have been so diligent in recruiting many retired military doctors. They are so old and have traveled so many miles, so I have to go."
Ye Xiaomei clutched her clothes tightly and slowly uttered a sound from her heart: "Oh."
Ma Qijun's heart skipped a beat: "Oh, this is for you."
"What?" Ye Xiaomei turned around and saw the man in the wheelchair with his back to the light from the window. He was shrouded in a halo by the eyes outside the window. He was handsome and charming. The light shone on the red passbook in his hand, reflecting a red halo.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. They haven't even gotten married yet, and Ma Qijun is planning to hand over the household management to her? What should she do?
Ye Xiaomei waved her hands like a bell and said, "This won't do." At the same time, a blush appeared on her face, making Ye Xiaomei a little uneasy.
