Xu Fuqiang went to wash the dishes.
In the Xu family, there has never been a rule that men cannot work.
If Xu Qingzhi's brother Xu Zijun was at home, Xu Fuqiang would always order Xu Zijun around instead of calling Xu Qingzhi. Xu Qingzhi found an opportunity to talk to her mother about the medical expenses.
She knew that her family had borrowed 100,000 yuan for her grandfather's illness at the beginning of the year, but something was obviously wrong yesterday, so she asked about the previous medical expenses. She found out that the total medical expenses this year did not exceed 100,000 yuan, and now she told her mother the truth.
Wang Yanmei was hanging clothes on the balcony and asked in disbelief: "Qingzhi, are you sure? The total this year is only over 60,000?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
Wang Yanmei's face changed. Without Xu Qingzhi's explanation, she could guess that most of the money given for her father over the years probably went into Wang Jinlan's own pocket.
She was stupid. She thought that they were a family and her sister was in a hurry for money, so she scraped together the money for her old father's illness and never asked any questions.
But Wang Yanmei was not a real fool. She didn't even hang the clothes in her hands up and went to find Wang Jinlan who hadn't left yet to talk to her about something.
Two people entered the room.
Everyone in the living room was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
The third aunt asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Yanmei doesn't look well."
Grandma Chen Xiaoqing knocked on the door and went in without caring whether the person inside agreed or not.
Xu Qingzhi finally understood why her mother called her to get up, but who did she learn this habit of knocking on the door and entering without being invited from?
Fortunately, Xu Qingzhi asked her father to fix the lock on her room door this morning, so she doesn't have to worry about someone coming in while she is in the spiritual space.
Soon, a quarrel was heard in the room.
No one could hear it clearly, they could only roughly hear it was about "money" and the old man's illness or something like that.
After a while, three people came out of the room.
Chen Xiaoqing's face turned pale, Wang Jinlan looked embarrassed, and Wang Yanmei was also angry.
Zhou Hongwei felt something was wrong, so he walked over and asked Wang Jinlan in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Wang Jinlan told the story in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Zhou Hongwei's face changed and he picked up the wooden stool next to him and smashed it to the ground. He opened the door and left with a bad look on his face.
"Sister, I'm leaving." Wang Jinlan was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she followed Zhou Hongwei.
Fourth Aunt said quickly: "Hongwei's temper is getting worse and worse. Linlin, go and persuade your father. Don't let your parents fight again."
Wang Linlin also hurriedly chased after him.
Fourth aunt felt that the atmosphere was not good and didn't want to stay any longer, so she said she was full and wanted to take a walk outside to digest the food before going back.
My third aunt also went along.
Xu Fuqiang finished washing the dishes and picked up the chair with a broken leg. "What happened?"
Wang Yanmei was furious: "I just picked up 100,000 yuan!"
Chen Xiaoqing patted Wang Yanmei on the shoulder and said, "My little girl, I have wronged you over the years. Your sister is sometimes confused and Hongwei is not a good person, but we are a family after all. Your sister is sincere in admitting her mistakes. Let's just let this matter go."
Wang Yanmei nodded and responded quietly: "Yes."
Xu Qingzhi has sharp ears and eyes, and can hear any sound no matter how small it is.
So Xu Qingzhi heard everything that was said in the room clearly.
After Wang Yanmei laid out the medical expenses, Wang Jinlan said in a trembling voice, "Sister, I just underestimated your celebrity status. I saw that celebrities on the Internet were making a lot of money, so I thought you were rich. Hongwei and I are incompetent, so we wanted to take some money from you and save it to buy a house for our youngest son in the future."
Logically speaking, the sum would be more than 100,000 yuan if every penny was calculated over the years, but Wang Jinlan only had this 100,000 yuan in her hand.
So the 100,000 yuan was transferred, and the matter was explained and resolved.
After coming out, Zhou Hongwei asked and Wang Jinlan said something, and Zhou Hongwei couldn't hold it anymore, so he threw the stool and left.
Xu Qingzhi didn't care about the money, but she couldn't let her parents be taken advantage of for no reason.
She looked at her mother's angry face and her father's timid look, and said, "Mom, you've made a fortune, so I want to eat spicy chicken tomorrow!"
Wang Yanmei suddenly laughed out of anger, "Okay, ask your dad to go back tomorrow and catch another chicken and bring it over."
Thinking that they were going back, Wang Yanmei said, "Fuqiang, pick more fresh vegetables. We can eat some ourselves and send some to Third Aunt. Since she is going to send them to Kyoto, you can pick more as well."
"Okay, I'll pick some more." Xu Fuqiang nodded.
Chen Xiaoqing said, "Don't pick them all. You will need them again when you go back."
"Mom, Fuqiang knows what's going on." Wang Yanmei glanced at the time, "Qingzhi, it's getting late, go wash up and go to bed."
Xu Qingzhi looked at the time on the wall. It was 8:30 in the evening. Well, it was getting late, so he went to wash up.
Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang returned to the room.
After closing the door, Wang Yanmei said earnestly, "When we were in financial difficulty, it was hard to support our two children in school. Zhiming helped us a lot. Now that he has become prosperous in Kyoto, he may not look down on these vegetables, but we can't forget him."
"Don't worry, I have a good idea. These vegetables are not worth much. Third Aunt likes to eat them. I will pick them all tomorrow and leave some for her to eat. Then I will ask her for her address and send them to Kyoto personally."
"Yeah." Wang Yanmei felt a little relieved and told Xu Fuqiang about the medical expenses and the 100,000 yuan.
After washing up, Xu Qingzhi returned to her room, locked the door, and sprinkled the vegetable seeds she bought today on the open space created by the two children. There were lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, water spinach, and some peppers. People in Meicheng like spicy food. But she didn't plant too many vegetables. Her brother was in school, and these were enough for the three of them at home.
The other half of the open space was planted with medicinal herb seeds. For some medicinal herbs, the longer they are planted, the better their efficacy.
This spiritual space is also divided into four seasons, but it does not affect the planting of things.
Things will mature in due time, and can be accomplished even faster if catalyzed by a high-spiritual energy formation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there was a severe drought one year, and many people could not grow crops, and the people were living in poverty. Xu Qingzhi planted a lot of rice in the spiritual energy space, and accidentally cultivated a method to gather spiritual energy to catalyze the rapid growth of plants, so he named it the High Spiritual Energy Formation, and sold the quickly grown rice to the people at a low price.
I have strayed from the topic. She ordered the two little ones to water the vegetables and herbs with the spiritual spring water, and then went to see the chicks and ducklings. They were in good condition. There was plenty of natural food for them in the large jungle enclosed by fences.
There is also a small natural pond below the jungle.
Xu Qingzhi always felt that something was missing from the pond.
It would be great if we planted some lotus flowers in the pond. It would be so beautiful and they could also grow lotus roots.
She remembered that when she was in the world of immortal cultivation, the lotus flowers growing in the villain’s yard were so beautiful, and the lotus roots were so delicious.
She spent a lot of elixirs to get a bite of lotus root.
If she had known earlier, she should have asked for some more lotus seeds and planted them in the spiritual space. They would definitely taste good. It was a wrong decision.
The crow landed on Xu Qingzhi's shoulder, "Caw~" Master, when can I eat the chicken leg?
Xu Qingzhi: "It's almost there, just wait a little longer."
Crow: I always feel like my master is just making empty promises, but I have no evidence.
