Chapter 139 Tian Zhaodi comes to ask for help
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it!"
I knew Manman had conditions, but I didn't expect them to be so good.
Mother Xie suddenly felt that this bastard in her family was not worthy of Manman at all, and that he was marrying above his station by marrying Manman.
An imperial green bracelet of excellent quality is priceless. Even before the Xie family fell into poverty, it would have been difficult to find an imperial green bracelet of such excellent quality.
Qi Man stuffed the brocade box into Xie's mother's hands again, muttering:
"The value of the gift is not important. Manman just thinks that this bracelet is suitable for you. It will definitely look good on you. Even if you don't accept it, it will be useless if you keep it with me. A useless treasure is no different from trash."
Qi Man was also afraid that Xie's mother would think the gift was too valuable and would not want to wear it, so she opened the brocade box, took out the bracelet, and put it on Xie's mother's wrist.
Xie's mother had a slender wrist, so the bracelet was easily put on, and the size was just right, neither too big nor too small.
The light refracted by the bracelet under the sunlight was very beautiful. Qi Man's eyebrows curved and she smiled brightly:
"Look how beautiful this is!"
He held Xie's mother's hands with both hands, his fingertips touching the bracelet on her wrist, and a faint green light seeped into it silently.
Jade is nourishing to begin with, and Qi Man injected some wood power into the bracelet, which added icing on the cake and increased its effectiveness.
Mr. Qi looked at the bracelet on Mother Xie's hand and agreed with a smile:
"This bracelet looks really nice when worn, mother-in-law. It's a little gift from Manman. Please accept it."
Xiao's granddaughter has many treasures, and Grandpa Qi doesn't really value these material possessions, so he doesn't have any objections.
The existence of material things only has meaning when their value has evaporated.
The Qi family's courtyard was full of joy. Lunch was prepared by Qi Erya and her husband. Several people sat around the table, making it very lively.
In order to build the new house in advance, Xie Yunshu originally planned to take his mother home after dinner, but was kept by Qi Man.
"If you leave, who will take care of my food and drink? Didn't you promise to cook for me for the rest of my life?"
Even the tone of voice contained some resentment which Qi Man had not yet noticed.
During this period of time, Xie Yunshu had spoiled her appetite, and even the food cooked by Qi Erya was tasteless to Qi Man.
Seeing Qi Man pouting her lips and looking resentful, Xie Yunshu felt helpless. He gently pinched the girl's chubby face and coaxed her softly:
"I'll take my mother back to live with me for a while. When the house is built, I'll cook for you every day. If I keep living here, it's inevitable that someone will gossip about me behind my back."
After spending some time together, this kind of intimate relationship has become commonplace for the two of them.
Qi Man's delicate brows slightly frowned, and she put her hands on her hips and said angrily:
"How long is living together for a while? Didn't you say that if we were dating and were going to get married, people wouldn't talk about us behind our backs? You're my husband, so what's wrong with living with me?"
Qi Man has always been free and easy-going, with a childlike nature. In addition, she has been with Xie Yunshu for a long time and has long been accustomed to his presence. She even has a sense of dependence on him that she has not yet noticed. So when she speaks, her tone is inevitably much more delicate than usual.
Seeing that the little girl was angry, Xie Yunshu simply stopped moving. He gently rubbed Qi Man's fluffy hair and coaxed her softly:
"Okay, okay, then I won't move."
There's no way. Once the little girl starts acting coquettishly, I really can't resist it.
His gaze fell on Xie's mother. Before he could say anything, Xie's mother spoke first:
"You stay here with Manman, I can do it on my own!"
Qi Man shook her head slightly and said softly:
"Mom, you can live here too! We'll have to live together sooner or later anyway, so you might as well get used to the life here in advance."
During the time when Grandpa Qi and others were out, Qi Man led Xie Yunshu to clear out the woodshed, placed a large bed and a large wardrobe in it, and the lighting was also good enough for Xie's mother to live in.
Mr. Qi: "It's more fun when there are more people. Manman has said this, mother-in-law, please stay."
Mother Xie smiled and responded, "Now that we've come to this point, I can't refuse. Let's live together."
Knock knock knock——
Just when everyone was chatting happily, someone suddenly knocked on the gate.
Just as Xie Yunshu opened the door, a thin figure stumbled in and knelt down in front of Mr. Qi.
This person was none other than Tian Zhaodi.
Tian Zhaodi's hair was disheveled, she was sweating profusely, she was panting, her eyes were bloodshot and tears were pouring out of them, mixed with sweat and dirt, she looked very embarrassed, her hands were folded together, she kowtowed continuously, blood was oozing from her forehead, and she showed no intention of stopping.
Several people were stunned by Tian Zhaodi's sudden action and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Mr. Qi took two steps back, frowned, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"If you have anything to say, get up and tell me!"
Tian Zhaodi's throat rolled, she tilted her head back, sniffed, and looked at Mr. Qi with tearful eyes. Her voice was choked and hoarse, and she begged in a humble voice:
"Dad, I really have no choice but to come to you. The head and I went to the county town to visit our son today. Before we even got to school, we were stopped by some street thugs in the county town. They said the second son owed them money and that the son's debt should be paid by the father. Without asking any questions, they dragged the head to the alley and beat him half to death. They gave me one day to collect the money, or they would chop off the head's hands and feet!"
Afraid that Mr. Qi was unwilling to help, he kept kowtowing.
"Although my second son is smart, he is timid. How could he borrow money to gamble? Dad, I know Manman has some money, so I beg you to lend me some. I will write an IOU and pay him back as soon as I have money. Please, he is your own son, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"
If she hadn't been really desperate, she wouldn't have come here.
After all, the second family has suffered psychological trauma from Qi Man. Even if they live in the same village, they will avoid Qi Man when they see her, let alone have the courage to fool them.
Tian Zhaodi was right. No matter how cruel Mr. Qi was, he could not ignore the affairs of Mr. Qi. He was just afraid that doing so would cause dissatisfaction from Manman, and his old face was full of conflict.
Qi Man noticed that Grandpa was abnormal, stepped forward, held Grandpa Qi's hand, and said softly:
"I have money! Grandpa, why don't my second aunt and I go there and save you from worrying."
Xiao's grandfather was soft-hearted and worried about Qi Laoer, so Qi Man took the initiative and reminded him.
Mr. Qi pursed his lips slightly and said with a guilty look on his face:
"Manman, Grandpa is sorry for you. Even though I am not doing well, your uncle is my son. I cannot just sit back and watch."
