The three aunts turned around and looked at Xu Qingzhi with different expressions.

Wang Jinlan was so frightened that her heart trembled. She thought that she probably didn't hear it, but she smiled and said, "Qingzhi, we were just chatting, why did you come out?"

"Oh, I was going to go downstairs to ask about the follow-up medical expenses." Xu Qingzhi curved his eyebrows and smiled harmlessly, blurting out as if chatting: "Didn't you call my mother today to ask for 30,000 yuan for an immediate operation, and said that the follow-up would cost another 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and you didn't have the money. My mother didn't have any money either, so she didn't transfer it to you immediately. Now I'm here, I'm going to ask how to pay."

Wang Jinlan's face changed.

The aunts exchanged glances with each other and had their own guesses in their minds.

Xu Qingzhi walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, "By the way, aunt, if grandpa needs money urgently for surgery in the future, and it will cost a lot, please ask me for it. If someone hadn't asked my mother to pay back the money today, I wouldn't have known that my mother borrowed 100,000 yuan from others when grandpa had surgery at the beginning of the year. My mother is like this. She is afraid of causing trouble for me, so she never tells me anything about money. So I'll trouble you to ask me directly in the future. As children, we should bear the responsibility in half."

Wang Jinlan had just spread the rumor when Xu Qingzhi came to slap her in the face.

Pa pa pa!

In particular, Xu Qingzhi's insistence on saying "half and half" made Wang Jinlan's face stiffen.

Wang Jinlan could no longer put on a smile.

The expressions of the three aunts also became more complicated.

After all, Wang Yanmei is married, so they deal with Wang Jinlan a lot, and they believe whatever Wang Jinlan says over the years.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

I was now half-believing and half-doubting everything I heard from Wang Jinlan before.

After Xu Qingzhi finished speaking, he pressed the elevator button and went downstairs.

She didn't say it in the ward because she was concerned about her mother's feelings.

But Xu Qingzhi is not a Ninja Turtle who can tolerate anything. When rumors come to his head, of course he has to make things clear!

Xu Qingzhi went to find out about the subsequent amount of money she would have to pay, and it was indeed not as exaggerated as Wang Jinlan said. After she paid the money, she found out about the previous medical expenses.

Xu Qingzhi returned to the ward.

Wang Yanmei pulled her aside and told her what she was thinking: "Qingzhi, the doctor just came and said that your grandpa's condition is still unstable. I want to... take care of him in the county."

"Okay." Xu Qingzhi responded. She just happened to have this plan, to use the spiritual spring water to nourish her grandfather's health.

But if you want to cure it, it’s not as simple as just using spiritual spring water.

Xu Qingzhi had limited spiritual medicine seeds, so he couldn't make pills like he did in the immortal world. He could only keep them for now and look at the other things later.

The aunts who were originally skeptical, after hearing this, were basically certain that Yanmei was definitely not an unfilial child! The third aunt praised: "Yanmei, it is a blessing for the old man to have a daughter like you."

Wang Yanmei shook her head and said, "It's what children should do."

——

Wang Yanmei originally wanted to stay at her parents' home and take turns with her mother to take care of the old man.

As a result, for convenience, Xu Qingzhi directly rented a three-bedroom apartment near the county hospital.

It can be rented short term for 70 yuan a day, depending on the number of days.

The house is simply decorated, but as long as it is clean and tidy, there is no problem.

Grandma Chen Xiaoqing brought all the mats, cooking utensils and other daily necessities from home to avoid wasting money by buying new ones.

Xu Fuqiang was originally in the county town helping to sell watermelons. Wang Yanmei called him in advance and told him not to go back as there was no one at home and to come directly over.

That night, Wang Yanmei cooked the first meal in the rented house.

A bowl of garlic lettuce, a bowl of spicy chicken wings, a pot of pickled pepper and sauerkraut fish, and a pot of three-fresh soup.

In order to save money, Xu Fuqiang didn't eat anything at noon. Now he was so hungry that he picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

"Yanmei, what did you put in the fish? Why does it taste so delicious?" Xu Fuqiang picked up another piece of lettuce, his eyes lit up, "This lettuce is so delicious."

Then he ate the chicken wing tips and drank the soup, praising her repeatedly: "Yanmei, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Wang Yanmei had greasy hands after cooking and had just washed them. She came over and thought it was her man showing support. She smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Chen Xiaoqing also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish to eat. The fatigue from the past few days of hard work suddenly relaxed. He asked curiously: "Yanmei, what did you cook? This fish tastes delicious."

Wang Yanmei picked up a piece herself. As soon as the fish entered her mouth, she tasted the smooth and tender texture with the spicy taste of pickled peppers and the appetizing taste of sauerkraut. The fish was not fishy at all, but smooth, tender and refreshing, and even had a faint sweetness.

"Well, this fish seems to be tastier than usual." Wang Yanmei quickly said to her daughter, "Qingzhi, come on, try it, it's delicious."

Xu Qingzhi picked up a piece of fish and ate it, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "It's so delicious, I must eat three bowls tonight!"

Wang Yanmei was even more satisfied and praised her, "Nothing I cooked before was as delicious as today. You bought the vegetables today, so the ones you picked must be better than the ones mom picked."

"Then leave the shopping for groceries to me from now on." Xu Qingzhi said.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you if you want to buy it." Wang Yanmei responded, thinking that her daughter would have something to do when she came back to buy vegetables, and she would be more relaxed. When she got home, she would have vegetables grown at home, so she would not have to buy vegetables often, so it was not too hard.

After dinner.

After Xu Qingzhi returned to his room and washed up, he entered the spiritual space and planted a few bags of vegetable seeds that he had bought today in the open space next to the spiritual medicine, and then watered it with the spiritual spring water nearby.

But there is not much vacant space, so we have to let the two little ones open up some new land when we go back.

As for why she didn't develop it herself...

If she finishes all her work, what will the two little ones do?

She wanted to guide the two little ones to have correct ideas and let them know that it is shameful to eat and drink for free! Labor is the most glorious!

However, she has also made up her mind to take advantage of the opportunity to take care of her grandfather's health to take good care of her parents' health.

She added a few drops of spiritual spring water to today's dishes. Not only does it strengthen the body, it also tastes good.

Xu Qingzhi took a walk in the spiritual space and found a wooden stool to meditate.

She had used spiritual spring water to temper her body during the half month in the state capital. After she came back, she found that there was a little spiritual energy flowing among the mountains surrounding Taoshui Village, which showed that Taoshui Village was indeed a good place to retire.

But she has a ready-made spiritual space to use, and that little spiritual energy is useless to her.

She meditated for a while, slowly drawing the spiritual energy in the spiritual space into her body, letting the spiritual energy flow through her eight extraordinary meridians, and then she let out a long breath.

It is not necessary to reach the level of the immortal world in this world.

But at least it allows her to protect herself and her family.
