"It's okay, it's just a sprain, but it will hurt for a few days. If you can't stand it, let's get a shot now." Qin Shouguo stood up and said.
It was already dark, and she could still endure it for a night. It would be foolish to endure it without getting the injection, so Lin Nanfeng said:
"Let's go tomorrow."
Qin Shouguo glanced at Lin Zhengran. She naturally listened to her daughter and said:
"Then go tomorrow. Don't bear with the pain."
Lin Nanfeng nodded.
Qin Shouguo had a lot to ask A'ran, but he knew that now was not the time.
He was sitting alone in the yard while A'ran was in the kitchen teaching Ye Zi how to cook.
The little girl who used to follow him around has now grown up and become a mother, with another side that he doesn't know about.
A'ran is not good-looking, but she has a kind of approachable feeling that makes people want to get close to her.
That day in the hospital, he guessed it was her based on this feeling and the mole on her nose.
With a tentative mood and a sense of attraction, he stepped forward and asked.
Sure enough, he found the person.
Qin Shouguo turned the cup in his hand and glanced towards the kitchen out of the corner of his eye.
"I just sent Chen Chuntian to the Public Security Bureau, and I heard from the people there that Chen Chunlai had nowhere else to turn and jumped into the river and drowned."
Qin Shouguo turned around and poured Li Fei a cup of tea, holding it in front of him and asked, "Did you hear this from the people inside?"
Li Fei sat down and drank the water, excitement written all over his face. "Yeah, that's what everyone inside said."
Qin Shouguo's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he said, "I killed him."
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, and said through gritted teeth:
"You're much more ruthless than me. If I had been more ruthless back then, I wouldn't have just chopped off one of his feet. The grass on Jiang Da's grave would be two feet tall by now."
Qin Shouguo glanced at the kitchen and said in a fierce voice, "It's just right that he can't die. This time I will make him live a life worse than death."
Li Fei suddenly relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile:
"I believe you."
Li Fei believed that Qin Shouguo could make Jiang Da live a life worse than death. After all, Xiaoman meant too much to him.
Not only are they married, but Xiaoman was also raised by Qin Shouguo.
Xiaoman was taken out of the coffin. Jiang Da felt guilty towards Xiaoman's mother. Xiaoman was also a child born in a coffin, and no one dared to raise him at that time.
It was Qin Shouguo's mother who took her in and raised her, because the two mothers were from the same village before they got married, and they were very good sisters.
Xiaoman's mother was also introduced by Qin Shouguo's mother to marry Jiang Da. Qin's mother felt guilty towards the sisters, so she took in their only child to raise.
Qin Shouguo is five years older than Xiaoman. At that time, his family was poor and the children in the village were all raised by the older ones.
When Xiao Manman was five years old, Jiang Da went crazy and wanted to take his daughter back.
Mother Qin didn't want her to go back to the Jiang family, but Jiang Da was a scoundrel.
He is good at eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and fighting. The villagers avoid him when they see him. How can a normal person not be afraid of such a scoundrel?
Xiaoman still returned to the Jiang family, but Qin Ma also made an agreement with Jiang Da that she would marry Xiaoman to her son.
Jiang Da took the opportunity to extort a large sum of betrothal money from the Qin family, and the Qin family gritted their teeth and agreed.
Unexpected things happen in life. When Qin Shouguo was fifteen years old, his entire family met with disaster.
Later, there were only two children left in the Qin family. At that time, having enough food was a problem. How could they come up with the betrothal gift?
Gradually, Jiang Da spread the word in the village that whoever gave him wine would be his wife in the future.
Qin Shouguo couldn't sit still anymore. He knew that if he couldn't come up with the money, Xiaoman would be used by him to exchange for alcohol sooner or later, just as Jiang Da said.
As expected.
Later, Jiang Da would go to see him from time to time, and his words implied that if the Qin family could not give the betrothal gift when Xiaoman turned fifteen, then they would not blame him for promising Xiaoman to someone else.
That year, Qin Shouguo was eighteen years old and Xiaoman was thirteen years old. Qin Shouguo sold the Qin family's heirloom, a bracelet.
The bracelet was left by Qin Shouguo's great-grandmother. He exchanged it for fifty yuan and gave the money to Jiang Da.
Qin Shouguo agreed that if he didn't come back when Xiaoman turned fifteen, he would send money to Jiang Da every month, including the principal and interest, until the betrothal money was paid.
Before this, Xiaoman cannot get married. After paying enough betrothal money, Xiaoman will be set free.
No one expected that Jiang Da did not marry Xiaoman off, but sold her like an object.
Originally, the Qi family did not give the money that Qin Shouguo asked them to transfer to Jiang Da every month.
Qin Shouguo was still too young and underestimated human nature.
Later, Li Fei went to find Jiang Da, and Jiang Da beat Li Fei up.
Li Fei, an outsider, had no way of controlling this matter. It was difficult for him to survive at that time!
Jiang Da's feet were cut off by Li Fei a few years ago. Li Fei said that it was snowing heavily that day, and he asked someone to get Jiang Da drunk, originally intending to kill Jiang Da.
But he couldn't and didn't dare to do it, so he only chopped off one of Jiang Da's legs. This is what Li Fei told Qin Shouguo after he came back.
At this moment, one of the brothers was looking at the sky and the other was looking at the kitchen.
"If you hadn't lost your memory and came back earlier, they might not have suffered so much!" Li Fei sighed unintentionally.
Qin Shouguo took the boiling water in the cup and drank it all.
When he was 21 years old, he was on a mission and his head was hit by a bomb. He only recovered his memory half a year ago, but he was abroad on a mission at that time and could not come back.
He was injured after the mission and secretly returned with his guards as soon as he got off the operating table. In fact, he only arrived in Jiang Yuan a few days earlier than A'ran.
He didn't want to lose his memory. If he could avoid losing his memory, he would trade anything for it, even his life.
He couldn't imagine how Xiaomei and A'ran had been living over the years.
He didn't even dare to think deeply.
He didn't dare to respond to Li Fei's words. What had happened had already happened. He felt guilty and hated himself for being unable to change the past.
In the kitchen, Ye Zi exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you are amazing! Such bitter wild vegetables are no longer bitter after you cook them like this!"
"Wild vegetables are inherently bitter," Lin Zhengran said with a smile, "Blanch them in cold water and squeeze out the bitterness. They'll taste much better. The most important thing is to be generous with the ingredients. Adding sesame oil makes them even more delicious. Nanfeng likes them best."
Ye Zi smacked her lips. "You guys really know how to eat. There's no sesame oil in the countryside. It must be very expensive, right?"
This question stumped Lin Zhengran. She really didn't know whether sesame oil was expensive or not, but she had heard the old lady talk about it.
"It's expensive." She quickly said, "You don't have to use it. It tastes good with a little lard."
"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother found me a job. Li Fei said it's in the kitchen. City people are picky eaters and would definitely look down on the food we country folk cook. I think you're a good cook, sister-in-law. Will you accept me as your apprentice?"
"Take it!" Lin Zhengran said cheerfully, teasingly, "I'll teach you everything I know. I guarantee you'll win the stomachs of the people in the city when you get there."
