Zhang Meng stopped and touched her chin. "Sister Liao, you know how powerful my medicine is. I wouldn't sell it to ordinary people. Can you tell me who asked you if I would sell it?"
Liao Qingting hesitated for a moment, then finally answered hesitantly, "It's that guy Shi Lei. One of his colleagues was seriously injured during a mission. I heard there's a bullet stuck in his head, lodged in a blood vessel, and it's difficult to remove. The doctor there said that if the bullet isn't taken out, his colleague will remain in a coma. Shi Lei remembered that you have a life-saving elixir, so he asked me to ask you about it."
After listening to this, Zhang Meng nodded. She admired these people who dedicated themselves to the country from the bottom of her heart.
"Go tell Shi Lei that I can give him a pill for free, but he has to keep it a secret. No one can know that this pill came from me. I've made a promise: if this gets out, I won't give him a single pill no matter how much money he offers."
Liao Qingting's face was filled with joy at this moment. Without a second thought, she agreed to Zhang Meng's request on behalf of Shi Lei. "No problem, Xiao Meng, I'll agree to this for him. If he dares to violate this agreement, I'll be the first to disagree."
Zhang Meng stared at her with amusement for a while.
Liao Qingting felt a little awkward when she was stared at like that and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Zhang Meng smiled and said mysteriously, "It's nothing. I just saw a peach blossom on your face that is about to bloom. It looks so beautiful."
Liao Qingting curled her lips and said, "Xiao Meng, you think I'm a three-year-old child. What do you mean there's a peach blossom on my face that's about to bloom? My face isn't made of dirt, so how could there be a peach blossom? Can you please stop joking?"
Zhang Meng pointed at her, looking helpless. "Sister Liao, why does your brain become so stupid when it's used on you? Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I really have something to do. Let's talk another day."
As soon as the words fell.
Zhang Meng strode upstairs regardless of what Liao Qingting shouted behind her.
Zhang Meng went back and continued painting until Gu Mingtai got off work.
If he hadn't called her, Zhang Meng wouldn't have known that she had spent half a day on this painting.
After stopping, Zhang Meng realized that both of her arms were hurting from painting.
So they stopped and the couple sat together and talked about what happened today.
By the way, Zhang Meng mentioned to him that she was planning to buy the courtyard house.
Gu Mingtai didn't ask any more questions. After listening to her, the first thing he asked was whether she had enough money. Zhang Meng felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard this. With a bright smile on her face, she answered him, "Yes, it's enough. The money you gave me before, plus what I've earned in the past few years, even without the money from my auction, is enough to buy that courtyard house."
After hearing this, Gu Mingtai nodded in relief and held her hand, saying, "Just use my salary. Don't spend your money. I'm a man, and the money I earn should be used for my family."
Zhang Meng knew that this man was starting to act like a male chauvinist again.
She chuckled softly and buried her head in his arms, "Okay, I'll buy it with your money."
The next day, Zhang Meng just came out of her room and saw Aunt Liu walking towards her room.
"Comrade Zhang, you're awake. That's great! There's a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waiting for you downstairs. They look very anxious and just kept urging me to come up and call you. I'm really annoyed by them."
Zhang Meng's mouth corners suddenly curved, and she immediately said to Aunt Liu, "Okay, Aunt Liu, thank you, I understand. Go down and tell them that I'll be right down."
Aunt Liu nodded, then turned around and went downstairs to notify them.
Standing at the door, Zhang Meng raised the corners of his mouth again, turned his head, and immediately walked back into the house.
It was ten minutes later when she came out of the room again.
As soon as they walked downstairs, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting in the hall saw Zhang Meng and they were like they saw a savior.
The woman ran to Zhang Meng holding a child who was no more than five or six years old in her arms, grabbed Zhang Meng's arm tightly, and begged with tears in her eyes, "Master, help me, Master."
Zhang Meng glanced at the old woman behind her and found that her complexion today was worse than yesterday.
When the old woman saw her daughter-in-law running towards Zhang Meng with her grandson in her arms, her pace began to slow down after running a few steps, and finally, she stopped.
But his eyes were fixed on the woman and the child in her arms.
Zhang Meng withdrew his gaze, took the woman's hand off his arm, and looked down at the child in her arms. Zhang Meng's eyes immediately darkened.
That female ghost was even planning to kill a child.
Zhang Meng immediately gave the little guy a sweet smile and reached out to touch his head. "Little guy, tell me, what's your name?"
The little boy, who had just been leaning against the woman's arms with a gloomy expression, suddenly looked much better after Zhang Meng touched his head. He seemed to be in much better spirits as well, and replied softly, "My name is Jin Xiaobei."
Zhang Meng nodded, put a hand in front of him, and suddenly opened her palm, and a candy appeared like a magic trick.
As soon as Jin Xiaobei saw the candy, his cute little eyes were immediately filled with joy.
"Take it and eat it!" Zhang Meng touched his head again.
At this moment, I saw with my own eyes that the evil spirit that remained on the little boy disappeared all at once.
