"Darling, how can you not believe me? I'm seriously injured now. What kind of idiot would I be to risk my life to harm you?"
I feel there's definitely something fishy about this. So I want to ask Taoist Huang to take a look." Miao Xin's voice was full of grievance.
"You mean this is a bit strange? That Taoist Huang could find the person who harmed you?" The eldest brother was a little skeptical.
"It should be possible. You know that Taoist Huang is very effective. Honey, how about you have Gao Qiang go and invite Taoist Huang over?"
Miao Xin's tone was sweet and delicate, but when the eldest brother looked up and saw her head covered in gauze, he couldn't help but recall the time yesterday when he saw the flesh falling off her face. It was really disgusting, and he suddenly gagged.
Turning to Gao Qiang, she instructed, "Go and pack her things and move her out of the villa immediately."
"Yes," Gao Qiang walked over and gestured for Miao Xin to enter.
"Darling, how could you be so heartless? It's so cold, where do you want me to go?" Miao Xin controlled her emotions, turned around and asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't call me 'darling.' What kind of mess do you look like? Haven't you looked in the mirror? Fine, I'll let it go since you've been with me for a while."
"Gao Qiang, take her to the Taoist temple and give her a month's worth of food. Also, invite Taoist Huang over to take a look." After saying this, the eldest brother stood up and left without looking back.
As Miao Xin watched his departing figure, tears finally streamed down her face. She truly understood what heartlessness meant at that moment.
"Miss Miao, please. Go back and pack your clothes first. I'll prepare some food for you. I'll be waiting for you on the first floor in ten minutes."
"I'm not leaving! Why should I leave?" Miao Xin wiped away her tears and shouted hysterically.
"Miss Miao, you'd better behave yourself and not anger him. He might throw you out, and then you'll get nothing." After Gao Qiang finished speaking, he turned and went downstairs without looking at Miao Xin again.
There are plenty of women like that; as long as you give them some food, you can find any woman you want. Looking at Miao Xin in this state, let alone the boss, he wouldn't even want to look at her. She has no sense of proportion at all; she doesn't know when to stop.
Miao Xin cried and screamed for a while, but no one paid any attention to her. Finally, she stood up, went back to her bedroom, grabbed two large suitcases, and stuffed all her belongings inside.
I took the three big goldfish I gave her when I tried to please my boss a while ago, and instead of putting them in my suitcase, I stuffed them into the pocket of my cotton pants. That's the safest place.
I also took a lot of commonly used medicines, which are hard to find outside these days. I don't know when my injuries will heal.
Unable to fit into many clothes, I could only put on a cotton overcoat, wrap myself up completely with a scarf and hat, and, enduring the pain, dragged two large suitcases to the stairwell.
"Amin, can you help me take my suitcase down here?"
She called out, but there was no response from downstairs for a long time. Ah Ming and Ah Yuan stood there as if they hadn't seen her at all, which reminded her of how these people used to fawn over her.
Miao Xin felt a pain in her chest, gritted her teeth, and dragged all the suitcases down herself.
Gao Qiang also came over carrying a large bag, which looked like it contained her food rations for the month.
"I'm going out for a bit. You guys stay home and keep an eye on things. Don't let anyone in," Gao Qiang instructed. He placed the bag he was carrying on a suitcase and pulled it out.
Miao Xin silently followed, secretly vowing in her heart, "Ah Ming, you just wait. One day, I will make those who have wronged me regret it."
Jian Ning had no idea that she had only used a festering talisman, and so many things would happen afterward.
The Lunar New Year is just two days away. She took out a lot of red paper from her spatial storage and, together with Tian Tian, learned to cut paper snowflakes from Aunt Wang.
Butterflies, flowers, and a chubby little baby hugging a big carp.
The sight of the entire kang (heated brick bed) covered in red evokes a sense of joy and celebration. It truly feels like the New Year.
Despite her young age, Tian Tian is incredibly skillful. While Jian Ning could only manage to cut out a flower after trying for a long time, Tian Tian could create all sorts of lifelike little animals.
Rabbit, snake, now we've almost completed the twelve zodiac animals.
"I'll make two lanterns with a stick in a bit. Xiao Ning, do you have any candles?" Aunt Wang asked.
"Yes, I can get bamboo too. Wouldn't a bamboo lantern be better than a wooden one?" Actually, Jian Ning had red lanterns ready-made in her space, but she didn't take them out. Only lanterns made by oneself have meaning.
"Bamboo is even better, of course. I remember when I was a child, no matter how poor my family was, my dad would always hang two red lanterns at the door for Chinese New Year."
My current skills are all learned from him. It's a pity I didn't study diligently back then; I only have a superficial understanding. My dad was a renowned craftsman back in the day.
Recalling her childhood, Aunt Wang's face was full of emotion. Who would have thought that she would encounter the apocalypse in her old age?
I used to hear people predict that the Earth would be destroyed in a certain year or that humanity would perish at a certain time, but I always took it as a joke and thought it was impossible for me to encounter such a thing.
They were just scare tactics. She never imagined she'd actually witness this day. If it weren't for her capable son, she and Tian Tian would probably be long gone.
Jian Ning recalled her childhood, a simple and ordinary life with her family of four.
There were times when I happily looked forward to the New Year, but alas, life is unpredictable, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring. All we can do is cherish the present.
Seeing Aunt Wang so sad, she stood up with a smile: "Sweetie, want some ice cream? I'll go get some." She put on her coat and went out. As soon as they entered the yard, Bawang stood up excitedly, wagging its tail at her.
Jian Ning took out a large box of ice cream from her spatial storage and placed it in the warehouse. After taking out a few, she tossed a chicken leg to Bawang as she passed by.
In such cold weather, even animals with fur need to eat more to replenish their energy.
Upon entering the house, each person received an ice cream, and then took the ice cream to Xiao Lingfeng's house.
The house is almost finished being cleaned up. We should be able to move in tomorrow. Right now, the three of them are busy in the kitchen setting up the stove.
"Uncle Li, Dazhuang, have an ice cream and take a break."
"Xiao Ning, you keep it for yourself. This old man doesn't like cold things." Uncle Li glanced at it but didn't take it.
What I was thinking was that it was good enough to have enough to eat now, and these rare treats should be saved for the children.
