Chapter 74 It won't be long before Ma Jiazheng will suffer retribution
I can only say that I met the wrong person.
Qi Man's eyebrows curved, and she poured a glass of water for Old Man Qi: "Grandpa, don't worry, that beast will get his comeuppance soon."
Old Master Qi took the water handed to him by his granddaughter, took a sip, and nodded slightly.
I hope so!
In the afternoon, as soon as Bai Jiachun finished his work, he rushed to Qi's house and wanted to take Bai Xiaoan away.
Bai Xiaoan, however, tightly grasped the belt around Qi Man's waist, unwilling to let go, anxiously with tears in his eyes, his voice choked with sobs: "I...I won't leave, I want to stay with Manman."
Bai Jiachun suddenly became anxious and tried to persuade her earnestly, "Xiao An, be obedient. I'll send you to see Manman tomorrow, okay? She's been troubled enough today. We can't keep causing trouble, right?"
As he said this, he was about to pull his daughter.
Bai Xiaoan shrank behind Qi Man, unwilling to leave, and said in a sullen tone: "No, I want to stay with Man Man!"
Bai Jiachun looked embarrassed, his eyes fell on Qi Man, and his tone was a little awkward: "This..."
Qi Man glanced at Bai Xiaoan who was shivering behind him, and said slowly, "Uncle, let Sister Xiaoan stay here. You and Auntie are busy during the day, and it will be lonely to be alone at home. It will also save you from sending her back and forth every day."
"Alas!" Bai Jiachun sighed heavily and said earnestly, "This is the only way. I'll ask your aunt to prepare some clothes for Xiao An later and send them to her. Xiao An will be in trouble for the next few days."
If I push her any further, my daughter will definitely go crazy again.
Qi Man smiled softly: "It's okay! Anyway, I have nothing to do. By the way, Sister Xiao An's husband came to visit today."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Jiachun's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly changed. His face turned pale and blue, and his tone was sharp: "What!? That beast came to our door? Where is he? Even if I risk my life, I will not let Xiao An go into the wolf's den again."
Judging from Ma's personality, who knows, he might do something extreme and take his daughter away by force.
This time, no matter what he said, he would not give in.
"I went back to look for my household registration book and got a certificate saying that I wanted to divorce Sister Xiao An."
Qi Man's words stunned the emotional Bai Jiachun. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Qi Man in disbelief, his tone stuttering:
"Manman, what did you say? Did Ma agree to divorce Xiaoan? Don't lie to me!"
Is he dreaming?
Shameless Ma Jiazheng actually agreed to a divorce?
She had been so arrogant before and showed off to him. Even if she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, no matter how much she despised her, she was a member of the Ma family in life and a ghost of the Ma family in death. Even if she died of exhaustion, it would be wishful thinking for her to get a divorce.
How come the sun is rising from the west today, and Ma Jiazheng actually agreed to divorce.
Qi Man smiled sweetly and looked at Bai Xiaoan who was hiding behind her: "Sister Xiaoan, do you think I am right?"
Bai Xiaoan nodded his head, his tone still a little stiff: "Yes."
The two of them sang in unison, making Bai Jiachun doubt his life a little, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What method did you use?"
Qi Man shook her head: "Uncle, divorce is something that we both agree on. If the other party is not happy, no matter how many times you talk, you can't persuade them. Comrade Ma said he wanted a divorce as soon as he came to my house. Before I could say anything, he ran away, saying that he was going back to the village to get a certificate and the household registration book."
There is no need to talk about using one thousand yuan to make Ma Jiazheng divorce. Sooner or later the property will be returned to the original owner anyway. Only Qi Man and Bai Xiaoan knew about this. Grandpa was resting in the room and came out later, so he probably didn't know about it, so there was no need to make this matter known to everyone.
Long before that, Qi Man had asked Bai Xiaoan to keep the matter a secret and not to tell anyone who asked.
Bai Jiachun nodded thoughtfully: "Manman, what you said does make sense. Scholars are different. They know a lot, unlike me, who has been guarding this village for my whole life."
If his daughter had a talent for studying, he would have worked himself to death to support her through college.
Qi Man was delighted by the compliment and she flattered him back: "Uncle, it's already impressive that you manage such a big village. I wonder how many people envy you."
Bai Jiachun's old face turned red, and he really enjoyed Qi Man's flattery.
"That makes me feel really embarrassed!"
Thinking of what Qi Man said just now, Bai Jiachun couldn't help but sigh: "It's a great thing that you are willing to divorce Xiao An. Your aunt and I are still old and can still move, so it's more than enough to raise a daughter. No matter what, Manman, you have helped my family a lot and you are my family's great benefactor."
Qi Man had only been in Qingyun Village for a few months, but his family already owed others a lot of favors. This was really hard to understand.
Qi Man shook her head: "Uncle, what you said is too polite. Before I returned to China, you were the one who took care of my grandfather! I call this courtesy."
"Hahaha!" Bai Jiachun laughed out loud, wiped away the tears from his eyes, sniffed hard, and said with a choked voice: "Manman is a filial daughter, uncle has always known it! It's getting late, the villagers are going off work one after another, I have to collect the farm tools, I'll ask your aunt to send some clothes to Xiaoan later."
Xiao An's condition has obviously improved with Qi Man. Since she doesn't exclude him, he might as well give her face and let Xiao An stay in Qi's house for a few days. As long as his daughter can get better, it doesn't matter if he loses face.
"Okay!" Qi Man agreed readily.
After Bai Jiachun left, Qi Man smiled and pinched Bai Xiaoan's sagging face: "Sister Xiaoan is really great, she remembered everything I said."
The latter smiled.
Qi Erya and Qi Dongchen got off work at five in the afternoon. Seeing Bai Xiaoan appear at home, they were tactful and did not ask any more questions, but just went about their own business.
After washing off the mud on her body, Qi Erya started to prepare dinner while Qi Dongchen made a fire and chopped wood. The division of labor was clear.
The dinner still catered to Qi Man's appetite, with a braised eggplant dish, a steamed pork with rice flour, a small green vegetable, and loofah and egg soup, which was very rich.
Bai Xiaoan looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He held the chopsticks in his hand but didn't dare to pick up any food.
She shouldn't be entitled to such delicious food.
Just as Bai Xiaoan was hesitating whether to suggest squatting in the corner with the bowl to eat, a piece of steamed pork with fat and meat fell into the bowl, and Qi Man's voice came from the side.
"Sister Xiao An, you are too thin. You need to eat more. We are all family, don't be so restrained."
Looking at the pork belly on the white rice, Bai Xiaoan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he almost cried. He held the white porcelain bowl in his little hands and desperately scooped up a few mouthfuls of the white rice until his mouth was completely full.
The moment the white rice entered my mouth, tears started to flow out.
"Woo woo woo"
Finally, it whimpered like a little animal, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Everyone around was tactful enough to keep quiet and quietly enjoy dinner, allowing Bai Xiaoan to vent.
