Chapter 157 Qi Man's vest was taken off by Xie's mother
As he spoke, he couldn't help but start rambling again.
"Manman is beautiful, kind-hearted, and a rare overseas returnee who has seen the world.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Qi settled in Qingyun Village, with Manman's abilities, she would definitely have made a good living in the capital and would never have had any contact with us in this life.
The fact that you can marry Manman is a blessing from your previous life. That child saved my life, and the same goes for you. The kindness is greater than heaven. No matter how you count it, Manman's kindness to us can never be repaid in our lifetime. ”
Xie Yunshu paused slightly, staring at Xie's mother steadily, with a hint of doubt in his cold tone.
"Manman saved your life?"
His mother stayed at home all the time. Except for occasionally going to work, she never went out of the house. Even the handkerchiefs she embroidered were sold together with the game she sold in the county town.
How can it be called a life-saving grace?
Thinking of that day, Xie's mother couldn't help but fall into memories:
"During the time when you were away, none of the concubines who had a relationship with our Xie family, nor your brothers and sisters who were related by blood, survived. I heard that it was your enemies who came to look for you. Do you remember that I told you that your father did good deeds all his life, but he had a grudge against one person?
That man, even after the new reform and opening up, had a twisted mind and was too obsessed with the Xie family. The sisters who used to live with me day and night, and your brothers and sisters, all died at his hands. The final target was you and me.
I didn't expect he had such great abilities. Even though I brought you to such a remote mountain village, he still found you! ”
As he spoke, his eyes became more solemn, and he walked to the door in small steps, looking at the snow falling from the sky, and continued:
"That night, my enemy came to look for me. I was in a deep sleep and didn't notice him at all. It was Manman who saved me."
Xie Yunshu was somewhat surprised and asked:
"Then how did you know that it was Manman who saved you?"
Mother Xie raised a smile on her face, pointed her finger at her nose, and explained with a sweet smile:
"Have you forgotten that a dog's nose is not as sharp as your mother's? The fragrance on Manman's body is light and very elegant. None of the villagers in Qingyun Village have such a light body fragrance. A bloody dagger was also found under the bed. If I'm not mistaken, it has disappeared without a trace."
The last sentence has a special meaning.
Xie Yunshu's eyes darkened and his emotions were complicated.
My mother has a very sensitive nose. She can easily distinguish smells that most people cannot detect with just a slight sniff.
Not only that, my mother is particularly thoughtful. Otherwise, with so many concubines and aunts, my father would probably have difficulty maintaining his position if he didn't have some brains.
After staying in Qingyun Village for a long time, I almost forgot my mother's previous identity.
That vine...
Sensing her son's mood change, Mother Xie stepped forward, took Xie Yunshu's hand, patted the back of his hand, and said softly, "
"Yun Shu, now, I am also Manman's mother. Manman has done me a favor, so I will naturally not repay kindness with hatred. That is why I carefully reminded you not to forget your original intention and not to let Manman down. Both your life and mine were given by Manman. You know better than me what to do!"
When the son returned that day, he was covered in blood and had countless wounds on his body. He was doomed to die.
But she smelled Qi Man's unique fragrance on her son, and she knew that her son had met Qi Man in the mountains.
Qi Man was very cunning and must have done something to her son to save his life. She knew it all.
"Um."
Xie Yunshu responded in a hoarse voice, with a convincing tone:
"Manman is my life. Even if I die, I will never let Manman down."
That was his only light, how could he give it up so easily?
The mother and son looked at each other, their eyes both fell on the bathroom door opposite, and their eyes suddenly became firm.
A-choo——
Qi Man was taking a comfortable bath when she suddenly sneezed loudly. Her little face turned red and the cherry tomatoes in her hand fell to the ground because of the sneeze. They rolled several times on the ground and finally fell into the puddle.
Qi Man's mouth pursed, what a waste.
I don’t know who is gossiping about her behind her back, but she must not catch them, otherwise she will make them suffer.
As a result, when he stretched out his hand, a yellow pear appeared in his palm, and he took a bite of it with great joy.
The pear was tender and juicy, with plenty of flesh wrapped around the skin, and extremely sweet, fragrant and crispy. Qi Man finished the pear in no time.
After soaking for a while, she put on her clothes, used her fire power to blow-dry her hair, maintained her own temperature and made sure she wouldn't freeze, and then left the bathroom.
It was snowy in winter. Except for Qingyun Village where life was slightly better, people in the neighboring villages within a dozen miles lived on thin ice.
The heavy rain before was like a deadly scimitar, cutting off two-thirds of their hard work.
Going up the mountain to hunt is even more impossible. The mountains are already dangerous, and it is winter now, with heavy snow covering the area. There is no idea of the potential dangers, and going into the mountains is tantamount to committing suicide.
Instead of this, it is better to wait for the mountains to be empty. Even if I die at home, I don’t want to die in the deep mountains and forests without leaving any body and become food for the wild beasts in the forest.
Due to the heavy snow, few people came to visit each other. Most of them stayed at home, roasting charcoal fires and chatting.
Qi Man wrapped herself in the small quilt that Xie's mother had specially sewn for her, curled herself up into a small ball, and sat next to the charcoal fire, her little face flushed from the heat.
The quilt is made of the finest fabric and the best cotton, making it both warm and comfortable.
Xie Yunshu accompanied quietly at the side, holding a pair of tongs in his hand, turning the charcoal fire. Upon closer inspection, there were four or five round sweet potatoes squeaking under the charcoal ashes.
Chestnuts are placed on the iron plate on the stove. The chestnuts are scored with a cross to make them easier to cook. With high temperature heating, the scorched outer skin of the chestnuts gradually breaks open, revealing light yellow flesh with a fragrant aroma.
Qi Man's eyes moved between the chestnuts and sweet potatoes, staring intently, afraid to miss a moment, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.
It smells really good!
Holding a pair of even smaller tongs, Xie's mother picked up the ripe chestnuts and put them into a small bowl. She then took off the kettle on the stove that was steaming with white smoke coming out of the mouth, and picked up the pot that had been prepared long ago.
Pour the prepared water into the pot, add a small half bowl of white sugar, stir slowly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved, then pour the chestnuts into the pot, stir left and right until the sugar water is completely absorbed by the chestnuts, then serve it out.
Qi Man stared at him without blinking, her eyes rolling around, looking simple and adorable, and she couldn't wait to ask:
“When can I eat?”
