The medicine she had painstakingly prepared for her father was stolen by Ke Enshu and Yu Jingyuan. Ke Meiyu felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
Her brows furrowed with anger and unhappiness.
Qin Yuanjiu was already on the motorcycle, smiling as he said, "I know you don't want them to take advantage of you, so I've secretly switched the medicine packets."
Ke Meiyu hummed in agreement and asked curiously, "Ninth Brother, how did you switch them? And what did you switch them to?"
"I just grabbed a few things from your pharmacy, like cough powder and itching powder."
Ke Meiyu was taken aback, then laughed gleefully and said, "Wouldn't you say they tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?"
She kept a lot of things in her pharmacy, including all kinds of common medicines, so that she would have a place to get them when she needed them in the future.
"My dad has finally learned his lesson this time, hasn't he? What kind of brother is he? He'd actually kill someone over a medicine packet! Ke Qingshu is really ruthless," Ke Meiyu said, pursing her lips. In the story, Ke Qingshu is portrayed as a blindly filial son, obedient to his parents and tolerant of his brothers. He never fights or grabs anything, and is the kind of person who can't be scolded or even farted.
However, the Ke Qingshu she saw was a selfish man who hid behind his wife and daughters, preferring to betray the world rather than let the world betray him, and reaping the benefits of others' misfortune!
All the pity was in his imagination; no one truly despised him because he had a string of daughters.
He felt ashamed and believed that everyone looked down on him.
But her father was sick, so she couldn't stay here any longer. "I'll go back and pack up later, and we'll go home tomorrow!"
Qin Yuanjiu lowered his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Since her aunt's house was small, Qin Yuanjiu took Ke Meiyu and Ji Yanfei home on his motorcycle and then they spent the night in town.
Qi Banxian was out all day, but he couldn't find a chance to speak to Ke Meiyu.
He couldn't help but show his anxiety. The reason was that the Qi family saw his extraordinary skills and wanted to reap the benefits without sowing, so they planned to marry their lazy and good-for-nothing daughter to him!
The Qi family had already started choosing a date and making wedding preparations. He made an excuse to come out this time to pick out a gift for his "bride-to-be".
He clutched the velvet box tightly in his hand; inside was a woman's plum blossom watch, which he had bought on the black market with all the money he had earned from medical treatment over the past few years.
Because Qi Banxian knew that if he didn't buy that family a gift that satisfied them, what awaited him was a heart-wrenching pain that would be worse than death!
He couldn't wait even a day longer, so after patiently dismissing the Qi family, he headed straight for the Ji family's courtyard.
After several days of nurturing, Ke Meiyu's consciousness has recovered somewhat; at least she can sense that someone is outside the courtyard.
After the Ji family members fell asleep, Ke Meiyu changed her clothes and jumped out.
"Comrade Ke," Qi Banxian said, his voice tinged with excitement.
"You have something to say to me?" Ke Meiyu looked up at the sky. Tonight, the clouds were thick and the orange-yellow moon shone through them, as if it could foresee something big happening.
"Comrade Ke, you said before that you would help me get rid of the Qi family's restrictions?" he asked impatiently.
Although Qin Yuanjiu gave him the complete inheritance of the Qi family, he searched all night but still couldn't find a way to escape the Qi family.
He didn't even know what the Qi family used to control him!
Ke Meiyu tilted her head and scanned his body, her eyes flashing slightly: "How did the Qi family control you?"
“Every time I disobeyed, they would surround me and beat me, not let me eat my fill, and make me feel palpitations and pain,” Qi Banxian said with his lips tightly pressed together. “I have tried to escape many times, but each time I would collapse from exhaustion and palpitations, and the Qi family would pick me up and take me back!”
Ke Meiyu couldn't help but chuckle: "The Qi family truly lives up to their reputation as descendants of divine divination; their skill in manipulating people's hearts is truly unparalleled!"
Qi Banxian was taken aback and asked dumbly, "What do you mean?"
Ke Meiyu shrugged. "Don't you treat patients regularly? Don't you know that narrowed coronary arteries are a type of congenital heart disease?"
"Really? I'm perfectly healthy," Qi Banxian asked, somewhat incredulously.
However, upon reflecting on Ke Meiyu's words, it seemed that the Qi family was indeed leading him to think in terms of being controlled.
Each time he suffered a heart attack, it was either due to extreme anger, extreme hunger, or walking for too long, and all of these were related to his disobedience to the Qi family.
Qi Banxian couldn't help but pound his chest, "Why am I so useless!"
With such a broken body, he couldn't even escape the control of the Qi family, so how could he have a great life?
Perhaps his family deliberately caused him to lose it because they knew he was in poor health?
Ke Meiyu pursed her lips slightly, "Actually, you could have heart bypass surgery to bypass the narrow passage and build a new one."
Qi Banxian's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Comrade Ke, can you do it?"
"I can do it, but what qualifications do I have?"
"As long as I can get rid of the Qi family, I'm willing to be at your beck and call for the rest of my life!"
Ke Meiyu chuckled, "You're a strange person. Does coming out of the wolf's den mean you have to go into the tiger's den? Didn't you fight against the Qi family for freedom? Now you're going to obey me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell you to kill and set fires?"
“You wouldn’t,” Qi Banxian said with a smile. “You are a person of great fortune. Although you may not be a great philanthropist, you would never do evil.”
"Besides, isn't this also an opportunity for me to seek refuge by your side?"
Ke Meiyu glared at her: "You're quite blunt."
However, Qi Banxian's words also struck a chord with her.
