Chapter 75 A Good Night's Sleep
After eating and drinking, Qi Man went into the room and found a floral dress that was suitable for the 1980s, as well as two pieces of underwear, and stuffed them into Qi Erya's hands.
"Er Ya, take Sister Xiao An to take a bath. I bought this skirt when I just returned to China. It's too small, but it's just right for Sister Xiao An."
"Okay!" Qi Erya responded readily.
But Bai Xiaoan remained unmoved. He stared at Qi Man until the latter nodded, and then he obediently followed Qi Erya into the bathroom.
Qi Dongchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Manman, if I don't look for a job, the few work points I earn every month won't be enough to support my family..."
Qi Man placed the Great Unity that she had prepared in advance on the table. It was a thick stack of about five hundred sheets.
Grandpa Qi was drinking water calmly at first, but when he saw his granddaughter take out such a large stack of money, he spat out all the water in his mouth with a "puff".
Qi Dongchen was also stunned and somewhat incoherent: "Where...where did this come from?"
How many years would it take him to earn such a huge stack of money?
Qi Man blinked softly and said with a smile: "This is the US dollars my grandmother gave me. I opened a safe and there are still quite a lot. This is only a part of it. Even if my brother never finds a job for the rest of his life, Man Man can still support him."
She never speaks empty words.
Qi Dongchen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The younger sister is really scary. She takes out thousands of yuan at a time. He has never seen so much money in his life.
Thinking of what his sister had just said, Qi Dongchen's face turned serious and he said righteously, "How can this be possible? This is what grandma left for you. I'm a grown man with hands and feet. No matter how cowardly I am, I don't need my sister to support me! You can keep this money and spend it yourself. When the time comes, I will make money for you."
My younger sister grew up under my grandmother's lap and was loved very much. She was a pampered young lady.
Now that I have finally returned to my country, it would be fine if I could go to the countryside and live a hard life with them, but how could I let my sister spend money again?
Old Master Qi nodded with emotion and said, "Manman, your brother is right. He has hands and feet, how could he spend your money? Look, he has been away for so many years, but he didn't starve to death, and he has grown a lot stronger. You should keep this money well, so that no one will be jealous and try to take advantage of it."
Manman has a simple personality and doesn't understand the evil nature of human nature.
Although you have a good relationship with your fellow villagers, you should still be on guard against them.
Five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. A person’s annual salary is only four or five hundred yuan. If you want to save up five thousand yuan, you have to go without food and drink for ten years. Who wouldn’t be tempted by this?
"Okay~" Qi Man responded sweetly and put the money into her bag, but actually threw the money into the space.
I thought, if I want to get this money, I have to see if she is lucky enough to enjoy it.
Just as a few people were chatting, Qi Erya's voice came from the bathroom door.
"Cousin, wash Sister An!"
When Qi Man heard the voice, she looked and saw Bai Xiaoan standing next to Qi Erya, her hands clasped tightly, her hair wet, her eyes a little stiff, and from time to time she reached out to tug at her floral dress.
Because of the floral skirt, the marks on Bai Xiaoan's arms and legs were visible to everyone.
His body was covered with bruises and many old wounds, which looked very abrupt. The longest wound spread from the arm to the wrist, like a tiny long worm crawling on it.
Maybe everyone's gazes were too revealing, Bai Xiaoan bit her lower lip tightly, looked at Qi Man timidly, and stuttered: "Man...Man Man, why don't I change back into my clothes? This skirt is not convenient for me to wear."
Qi Man shook her head and refused, and asked Qi Erya to go to the room to get a shawl, put it around Bai Xiaoan's shoulders, and said softly:
"You can't wear that dress anymore. This skirt looks so nice on you. With this shawl, you'll look like a fairy. Let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy you a few more clothes that suit you. Girls should be nicer to themselves."
Qi Man's words made Bai Xiaoan feel sour. The tears that he had managed to hold back finally surfaced again, swirling in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs:
"Uh-huh."
The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere, and people around them were reluctant to disturb them.
Because of long-term oppression and domestic violence, Bai Xiaoan hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. In addition, he was tired from crying, so he felt sleepy after a while and was a little drowsy.
Qi Man originally wanted to take everyone back to the room to rest, but Bai Xiaoan was unwilling to enter Qi Man's room, for fear of dirtying the clean and tidy room.
Helplessly, Qi Man made a small partition in the living room.
Erya slept in the small compartment, which had just enough space for another bed and a small wardrobe.
The living room is large, more than enough for dining and entertaining guests.
After making the bed, Bai Xiaoan lay down on it and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Zhaojin finished his work very late, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when he brought clothes to Bai Xiaoan. Looking at his daughter sleeping peacefully on the bed, tears welled up in his eyes. He covered his mouth, forcing himself not to cry out loud, for fear of disturbing his daughter who had finally fallen asleep.
He didn't let go of her hand until they were out of the yard. His tearful eyes fell on Qi Man, his voice choked with sobs.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep since Xiao An came back. I was awakened by the bad news after just a short nap. It seems that Xiao An likes you very much. I just heard from my wife that Xiao An wants to live here for a while and there is also a divorce. If it weren't for you, your uncle and I would not know what to do. You are a great benefactor to our Bai family, Manman."
The condition of his daughter has improved in the Qi family. Chen Zhaojin certainly hopes that his daughter can stay here for a while longer. Maybe she will become the lively and smart girl she used to be.
Qi Man's expression remained unchanged: "Aunt, there is no need to say these words. Just leave Sister Xiao An at my house with peace of mind, and you and uncle can work with peace of mind. When Sister Xiao An gets divorced, I will accompany her. The process should be clear, and the divorce should be clean, so that the Ma family won't come to our door later."
For Yu Qiman, every girl should be loved and cared for. When she saw Bai Xiaoan's appearance, she remembered the days when she was isolated and helpless in her previous life, so she extended a helping hand and rescued her.
Chen Zhaojin nodded wildly: "Yes, yes, yes, Manman, you have completed college abroad. Your uncle and I have not received much education and we don't know what divorce is like. We are relieved to leave Xiao An to you."
Although the time he had interacted with Qi Man was short, Chen Zhaojin had a feeling that Qi Man was very reliable and trustworthy.
After confirming that Bai Xiaoan was living well here, Chen Zhaojin was reluctant to leave.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Qi Man was just about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard a cold mechanical voice in her mind.
[Host, the enemies of the Xie family have found the Xie family, and Mother Xie may be in danger! 】
