Chapter 14: People rely on their mouths, and stories rely on their fabrications
Now that everyone knows about it, can you go back on your word?
Those unscrupulous women in the village could drown him with just a spit from them.
Qi Man put the money away and looked up at Jiang Yichen.
"You're not leaving yet?"
Jiang Yichen's face darkened. Are you in such a hurry to send him away?
If you think you're playing hard to get, you've gone too far.
If he saw it correctly, the three old women were holding a fat pig's trotter and a bag of cakes, and especially the cloth, which was of the best quality.
These village women have long hair, little knowledge, and their families are extremely poor. They can barely take out a dollar or two from their pockets.
Naturally, there can’t be such good things, and the source of these good things probably comes from Qi Man.
Jiang Yichen felt unhappy and thought to himself.
If Qi Man could give him something twice as good as these gossips, he would reluctantly renew his engagement with her.
Seeing Jiang Yichen standing there motionless, Shen Chunhua's face darkened, and she said with her hands on her hips.
"How can you be so blind at such a young age? Manman doesn't want to see you, so why are you still hanging around here?"
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yichen, and suddenly he thought of something, pointed at Jiang Yichen and said with sudden enlightenment.
"You're not waiting for us to leave so you can bully Manman! If you dare to bully Manman, I'll be the first to disagree."
Don't think she didn't see it just now. The guy was staring at the pig's trotters in their hands with his eyes sharp.
Maybe he saw Manman took out so many good things and wanted to take advantage of her.
Jiang Yichen looked at Chen Chunhua's eyes that seemed to be guarding against thieves, and his gaze fell on Qi Man.
"Qi Man, let me ask you one last time, do you really want to make the relationship between us so awkward?"
Qi Man raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yichen as if he was a fool, smiling harmlessly.
"Jiang Zhiqing, what are you talking about? We have no relationship at all now, so don't try to make connections, or else someone in the village will say that I, Qi Man, was clinging to you."
She had heard a lot of gossip just now.
I learned from the aunts that the affair between her and Jiang Yichen was widely spread in the village.
The orphan of a martyr who returned from overseas is a comrade who has no sense of propriety, no sense of shame, and no rules and is always clinging to others.
In the original owner's memory, she had very little contact with Jiang Yichen, so he couldn't be described as being persistent.
Moreover, the original owner had contact with Jiang Yichen only because they had an engagement.
Jiang Yichen was stunned and his face turned red unconsciously.
He had also heard such rumors.
He also vaguely felt that Qi Man was such a person, so he did not come forward to explain. He did not expect Qi Man to bring up this matter.
"I...I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Jiang Yichen was annoyed by their stares. He held it in for a long time, and finally made up an excuse and fled.
When leaving, he did not forget to pick up his glasses that were shattered into snowflakes on the ground.
Chen Chunhua curled her lips and looked at Jiang Yichen who was fleeing in silence.
He is so shameless, always flattering himself. Doesn't he look at himself and see what kind of person he is? Is he worthy of Manman?
Then he turned around and said to Qi Man with a friendly expression:
"Manman, it's getting late. We'll go back first. If you encounter any problems, just let us know."
Qi Man nodded obediently.
With that, the three village women packed up their things and left the Qi family.
Qi Man cleaned the yard and then knocked on Grandpa Qi's door.
"Grandpa, are you taking a rest?"
"Manman, come in."
The weak voice of Mr. Qi came from inside the room.
Qi Man pushed the door open and saw her grandfather sitting at the head of the bed, looking at her with a loving face.
He stuffed the three hundred and seventy yuan in his pocket into Mr. Qi's hand and spoke softly.
"Grandpa, Jiang Yicheng and I have broken off our engagement. I asked Jiang Yicheng to return the 370 yuan. Since we have nothing to do with each other anymore, I have to get it back."
Old Master Qi looked at the stack of banknotes in his hand and suddenly burst into tears, his voice choking with sobs.
"Manman, grandpa is useless. He can't even take care of one person."
The house was not well soundproofed, and the windows were open for ventilation, so he could hear clearly what was happening outside.
"Grandpa, this is not your fault. Jiang Yicheng is not a beast and does not need anyone to take care of him. Since he likes Bai Jiao, I will not break them up and let them be together."
After all, the scumbag man and the slut woman are a match made in heaven.
Qi Man learned this word from San San.
It is said that a man is already taken, but he still yearns for the wild flowers outside. Who knows that he has been attracted by the weeds, who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and insist on interfering.
These people are typical scumbags and bitches, and social scum.
"well!"
Old Master Qi sighed heavily and stuffed the money in his hand into Qi Man's.
"Grandpa is in this state now, there is nothing to spend money on, you keep this money and buy what you need."
Anyway, he has half his foot in the coffin, so it would be a waste to spend so much money. It would be better to make full use of it and give it to Manman.
Qi Man shook her head and refused, pushing the money back.
"Grandpa, wait for me."
Having said that, he stood up and walked out, pretending to go back to the room and took out some pills given by the sign-in system from the space.
A bottle of small repair pills, used to repair meridians and heal the body. The repair speed is relatively slow. There are a total of twenty-five pills in one bottle.
The big repair pill is more effective, achieving a three-day healing effect, and there are only three of them in the space.
But in the end times, her body had excellent self-healing abilities, so neither of these two was needed and they were just piled up in the space.
It just happened to come in handy today, so I’d give priority to the small repair pill. The large repair pill would repair too quickly and could easily arouse suspicion.
She took the exquisite porcelain vase back to Mr. Qi's room, placed it on the tattered bedside table, and spoke softly.
"Grandpa, this is the medicine my grandma asked me to bring back from abroad. After learning about your physical condition, she asked an expert in this field to prescribe some medicine for you. Grandma originally wanted to bring it back to you when she brought me back to visit you, but unfortunately..."
At the end of her speech, Qi Man's eyes became a little dim and her tone was lost.
People rely on their mouths, and stories are all made up.
Old Master Qi reached out and patted Qi Man's shoulder, comforting her.
"I'm sorry to have made my mother-in-law worry."
As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain bottle on the bedside table. The porcelain bottle was exquisitely crafted. When he opened the stopper, a unique herbal scent wafted to his face. Just smelling it made people feel refreshed. Grandpa Qi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
"It's worthy of being the medicine my mother-in-law asked for. Just from the smell, I feel that this medicine is not ordinary..."
Mr. Qi’s first reaction was that it was expensive.
I heard from Manman’s dad that everything is expensive abroad.
"Take one pill a day. It has a great effect on repairing the body. You must take it on time. Grandpa, you have to take this money. Grandma gave me a lot. I will go to the county town to pick up the package tomorrow. The things in the package are enough for me to use for most of my life. I will keep this money with you for now."
