"Wait!" Meng Qidi pressed the bolt and blocked Old Man Zhao's way.
The old man blew his beard and glared, "What? You regret it? You can't do this, girl. I have completed everything I promised you."
"What's the hurry? The captain and the public security comrades are here. Why don't you sit with them for a while and talk to them? Let's cool off under the tree. I'll make you a cup of tea. Can't you go after lunch?"
"Oh, you're still drinking tea in this remote place?" Old man Zhao said with disdain and walked to the west tree with his hands behind his back.
You know what, this girl really knows how to enjoy herself. There is even a tea table under the tree.
The three captains nodded to Meng Qidi and followed her.
Meng Qidi went into the house to get the tea set. The family didn't have these things. It was because Old Meng was often yelling at home during that period, so she simply went to the county waste station.
That’s right, this tea set was bought from a scrap yard. Nowadays, people think that drinking tea is a waste of firewood and time.
According to the owner of the scrap yard, this set of tea set was sent here by a high-ranking official when his house was searched several years ago, and it has been gathering dust for several years.
Sure enough, Old Man Zhao was a connoisseur of valuables. Once the items were brought out, he couldn’t take his eyes off them.
He even left the stool and used both hands to pick up the tea set, muttering, "Hold it steady, this is a good thing."
God knows how many years it has been since he last touched tea. He almost forgot the taste of the best tea.
After handing the tea set to the old man, Meng Qidi went into the house to get the kettle and tea leaves. The water in the kettle was made from well water, which had been enhanced by the lotion she had used before and was no worse than spring water.
The only thing is that the tea is not very satisfactory. It is wild tea picked from the back mountain, and it is aged tea.
After getting a stove ready, Old Man Zhao started drinking with the captain and the others, looking very happy.
Seeing that the four people ignored her, Meng Qidi pulled Xiao Chengzi to the kitchen.
Wang Jinhua fumbled around in the room, wanting to go out to help greet the guests. But when she reached the door, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes and she squatted on the ground in pain.
She didn't dare call Xiaoqi. She was busy anyway. Her eyes had been in trouble for a long time and she was blind. What other bad problems could there be?
Perhaps it was the psychological effect of this thought. After a few minutes, when the pain in her eyes was gone, she slowly stood up. Her back was aching and she was sweating. She fumbled for a glass of water and drank it before going to the closet to change clothes.
When she touched the wardrobe, her eyes felt swollen and uncomfortable. She rubbed them subconsciously, and she rubbed them with some force, and it seemed that something was rubbed out.
Wang Jinhua frowned slightly and rubbed the other one...
"Xiao Qi!"
Just after she finished cutting the vegetables, she heard the old lady's cry. Meng Qidi quickly put down the kitchen knife and ran towards the main room.
"What's wrong, Mom? Did you fall?"
"No, come quickly!" Wang Jinhua's voice was trembling with excitement.
Meng Qidi hurried into the house. The old lady was sitting on the floor. "Mom?"
"Look at this!" Wang Jinhua raised her hand, her face full of excitement.
"What?" Meng Qidi squatted down, and the old lady held two thin pieces of paper in her palms.
"I rubbed my eyes, I..."
Meng Qidi raised her head sharply, "Can you see..."
Wang Jinhua nodded excitedly, "Xiaoqi, I can see..."
"Shh..." Meng Qidi made a gesture to keep quiet, and lowered her voice a few notes, "Mom, I'm sorry for putting up with you at noon. Please continue to pretend. No, you should stay in the room while you eat."
The old lady did not question her daughter-in-law's words and nodded obediently, "Okay."
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the city. We'll let Jin Yue and the others take care of our home. We'll live there for a few months, and then..."
"No need to bother."
Old Man Zhao's voice was heard at the door.
Meng Qidi's body tensed up, a murderous intent flashing through her heart. This old man knew too much.
"It's a good thing that your old lady lost this thing in her eyes. I can just give her a few injections and it will be fine."
"A few injections will do the trick?" The murderous intent in Meng Qidi's heart quietly dissipated. She was just being too suspicious.
"Of course, these difficult problems are easy for me to solve."
Old man Zhao walked in with a swagger, totally unaware that he was passing by someone.
The old man squatted down in front of Wang Jinhua, felt her pulse on her hand, and took his hand away after a long time.
"Sister, you went blind because of depression, right? Now that your life is better and your depression has been resolved, you can see naturally. I guess you can't see clearly now. I will prescribe some medicine for you, and you will be able to see in a month."
"Really? Thank you, thank you." Wang Jinhua was overjoyed. "It's all because Xiaoqi married well. Our family depends on her. This girl is our family's lucky star."
What Old Man Zhao said sounded very convincing, and Meng Qidi was a little skeptical.
"Why don't you hurry up and cook? Your mother-in-law is fine, but she can't keep her eyes open for too long. After all, her eyes have just recovered."
Wang Jinhua was so excited that her eyes, which had been blind for more than ten years, suddenly recovered. With the assurance from Old Man Zhao, she couldn't close her mouth. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Old Man Zhao."
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes and walked out.
"Get up, the ground is cold." Old man Zhao helped Wang Jinhua up, exhaled lightly, and subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
Lunch was very sumptuous and several people sat around the table. There was no white wine, but there was rice wine brewed by Meng Qidi with well water.
"Sister-in-law, are your eyes better?" The captain looked at Wang Jinhua in surprise.
Old man Zhao took a sip of rice wine, looking very happy. "With my help, how can it not be cured? Old sister's symptoms are quite common in ancient books, and they are not difficult to treat. Wait for me to prescribe a few more prescriptions, and I guarantee that the disease will be cured."
Old man Zhao exaggerated too much and no one else could notice it, but Meng Qidi looked at him with a hint of warning in her eyes.
This old man is good at taking credit for himself.
I was just afraid that the old lady's eyes would get better, it was because of the light from the lotion. When the lotion was poured into the well water, Ling Xiao's legs got better. She thought that there was no hope for the old lady's eyesight because it had been too long.
Unexpectedly, it was just a little late.
After being warned by the younger generation, Old Man Zhao coughed lightly and took a sip of rice wine to cover up his embarrassment.
The captain didn't notice it and quickly raised his glass to toast him.
Old man Zhao didn't dare to go too far. "Of course, Xiaoqi deserves the most credit for this. Our family is getting better and better. The elder sister has let go of her worries, so it's easier to cure her."
Meng Qidi twitched her lips and said, "No, you have made the greatest contribution. Without you, my mother would not be able to get better."
She now suspected that the old man's medical skills were exaggerated by the villagers, and he probably only knew the basics...
The old man and the young man started to admire them, and everyone at the dinner table was talking and laughing...
After dinner, the old lady went back to the house to rest. Meng Qidi washed the dishes and came out. The captain and the two comrades from the police station also went back. Ling Cheng was playing in the yard.
There was no sign of Old Man Zhao.
Meng Qidi raised her foot and walked towards the pond in front.
After leaving the courtyard, the autumn breeze blew over me, making me feel refreshed.
Meng Qidi glanced at Old Man Zhao who was touching lotus flowers by the pond and walked over with a look of disdain, "I told you it's for you, why are you in such a hurry?"
Just when he was about to catch one, Old Man Zhao almost fell into the water when Meng Qidi interrupted him. "Hey, aren't you afraid that you'll regret it?"
