Chapter 127 Qi Man secretly trips up others
Father Bai was speechless.
However, in the following few days, not only Bai's mother, but also Bai's father suffered, and they were haunted by nightmares every night. In just a few days, the couple became haggard, their faces ashen and frighteningly pale.
Even when he was working, he was absent-minded. Because he was not in the mood, Father Bai was in a trance and accidentally cut off his big toe.
There was blood everywhere that day. When the village chief learned about the situation, he asked Bai's father to take a few days off.
Bai Jiao was also busy and exhausted.
Not only did he have to provide psychological counseling to his parents, but he also had to go to the county town every day. Moreover, he had to block people on the road that Xie Yunshu had to take when he came down the mountain to hunt.
Bai Jiao had long regarded Xie Yunshu as her property and her destined person. Every day she saw Xie Yunshu and Qi Man entangled in an unclear relationship, and she felt resentful. So she decided to go all out and block them every day.
Of course, Xie Yunshu had a cold attitude towards Bai Jiao from beginning to end. At first, he would respond a few times out of politeness, but later he simply treated her as air and ignored her.
Things have been going wrong for Bai Jiao during this period. She is like a shrew, complaining about everything and everyone, and exuding resentment wherever she goes. No one dares to get close to her, for fear that they might accidentally provoke Bai Jiao and get into trouble with her.
Although they were not growing poppies openly, they were still doing it secretly, and business was booming, so the cultivation was in full swing.
Not only that, Bai Jiao also secretly hired those villagers who were related to her in Laohu Village, offering them a salary of two yuan a day, which attracted all the villagers.
Two dollars a day, that’s sixty dollars a month, which is two months’ salary for an ordinary person, just to grow flowers.
Farming and the like are things that are very familiar to those of them who have been in contact with fields since childhood. It is not tiring and they can make money, so why not do it?
Bai Jiachun was quite pleased to see that the villagers had restrained themselves and stopped growing poppies during this period, and Jiaojiao still listened to his advice.
The harvest season is approaching and every household is waiting for the harvest. The period before the harvest is relatively idle.
So whenever Bai Jiachun has free time, he will come to the Qi family to have tea with Old Man Qi, and they will chat for the whole afternoon.
In addition to Bai Jiachun, Xie's mother also often visited the Qi family. She would send some fresh vegetables and homemade food from time to time on the pretext of saving Xie Yunshu's life, and would chat with Qi Man about family matters.
If it were an ordinary person, Qi Man would have lost patience and ordered them to leave long ago, but Xie's mother was a good cook, and every time she brought food, it pleased Qi Man very much.
For the sake of food and the fact that Xie Yunshu often sent her game, he made an exception and allowed Xie's mother to nag him.
Looking at Qi Man drinking the soup obediently, Xie's mother liked her more and more, and she liked this little girl from the bottom of her heart.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also well-behaved, sensible, reasonable and filial. Moreover, she has received higher education. It is rare to find such an outstanding girl.
Xie's mother couldn't help but complain that her son's progress was too slow and their relationship hadn't advanced any further.
If it were her, she would have expressed her feelings to the girl long ago. If the girl was interested in him, she would choose an auspicious day, go to the county town to get a marriage certificate, and then hold a banquet to invite people from the village.
Xie's mother sighed many times. Yun Shu was good in everything, but he was exactly like his father when it came to feelings. He was like a blockhead. He liked someone but didn't dare to express his feelings. He was exactly like a stinky rat in a stinky ditch that couldn't stand the light.
If this continues, such a perfect daughter-in-law will be snatched away by someone else.
It's so frustrating!
Qi Man, however, had no idea what Xie's mother was thinking. All her attention was focused on eating. After finishing the last piece of meat, she still hesitated and licked her lips with her pink tongue.
Mother Xie’s skill in making soup is really perfect. I’ve been liking this soup recently.
Seeing Jia Qiman's cute movements, Xie's mother smiled brightly, took the bowl and said kindly:
"I see that you like to drink the pork rib soup I stewed recently. I will stew more in the next few days and change the flavors for you to try. What do you think?"
Qi Man was of course willing to do so. Her little head was as busy as pounding garlic, and she looked at Xie's mother expectantly with clear eyes, and asked softly:
"Is it really possible? It would be too much trouble for you!"
Mother Xie put away the dishes and shook her head with a smile:
"It's not a big deal. Thanks to you, my Yun Shu is alive. It's only right that you make more soup and send it to me. Drink it if you like. I'm just afraid of wasting it. If there's no meat, I'll ask my son to go up the mountain and get some. There will definitely be enough for you."
After being packaged with these words, Qi Man liked Xie's mother even more.
Who can resist an aunt who has a kind personality and good cooking skills?
"Yeah, thank you, auntie!"
Qi Man was so well-behaved that Xie's mother wanted to touch her hair. She couldn't help but touch Qi Man's fluffy hair.
Qi Man didn't take it seriously. If an ordinary person had touched her head, the hand would probably have been broken.
But during this period of time I was relying on my aunt to feed me thick soup, so being touched once or twice was still acceptable.
Qi Man's hair was fluffy and her expression was simple and adorable. Mother Xie breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her hand, and picked up the basket of dishes and chopsticks:
"Then I'll go back and cook for my son and bring it to you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Qi Man nodded.
Grandpa Qi and Bai Jiachun went out for a stroll in the village, so Qi Man was alone at home at this time. With Xie's mother gone, the yard became much quieter. After eating and drinking, she stretched herself, exuding a lazy air. She dragged her body weakly and walked with difficulty to the hammock. She lay on the bed, looking at the blue sky. Fatigue came over her, her eyelids drooped, and she soon fell asleep.
After sleeping for three hours, it was already ten o'clock in the morning and the sun was still very warm.
But although the sun is warm, some people are extremely irritable.
As soon as Bai Jiachun entered the courtyard, he was so angry that he raised his hands up, spitting and talking incoherently:
"I was sighing a while ago that Jiaojiao was an obedient and sensible girl, but who knew that the damn girl would not change her bad habits and secretly asked her relatives from the neighboring Tiger Village to do something to her. If Manman hadn't reminded me, I would still be kept in the dark. If she gets into trouble, the first person she'll look for is me, the village chief."
Bai Jiachun was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He sat on the chair angrily.
In comparison, Mr. Qi's mentality was much calmer, his face was still kind and gentle, without too many expressions.
Qi Man thoughtfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Bai Jiachun: "Uncle, drink some water first. It's not worth getting hurt by this kind of thing."
Bai Jiachun drank all the water in the cup, his tone still a little excited:
