750 The Injury Has Almost Fully Recovered
In the end, Wang Qin became tired from crying and fell asleep in Qiao Gui’s arms. Qiao Gui also slowly fell asleep.
A few more peaceful days passed. Today was a rare day when everyone went to Qiao Mei’s place for a gathering. Some of Qiao Mei’s new sunflowers were ready for harvest so she had invited everyone to go and try the seeds!
“Qiao Mei, my sunflowers don’t grow as fast as yours, but they’re also almost ready. These seeds are indeed big,” Auntie Dong said as she grabbed a handful of seeds and placed them in her palm.
Qiao Mei had actually secretly forced the seeds to ripen last night! Recently, she had been idle and always felt like eating something. If she gave in to her cravings, then when it was mealtime, she could not eat anything.
!!Hence, Qiao Mei snacked on seeds whenever she had cravings. It was also a good opportunity for everyone to see how good this new variety of seeds was. Once the news got out, everyone would be able to earn money.
“I’m really envious of you. I should have listened to Qiao Mei back then and planted them when I bought them. I’m one week behind you and the difference is not just a little bit. I just hope that it snows later this year, otherwise I won’t get any seeds!” Auntie Wang said with heartache.
“It’s your fault for not believing in Qiao Mei! You just had to wait for us to plant before you started planting!” Auntie Dong said.
Auntie Wang rolled her eyes at Auntie Dong. This was called being cautious! Who would dare to plant a new variety just like that? Even Qiao Mei had never planted it before, so of course she had to wait and see.
“I definitely won’t hesitate next time! I’ll grow whatever you grow! Qiao Mei, do you have any other new varieties?” Auntie Wang looked at Qiao Mei expectantly.
Qiao Mei took some apples from the storeroom and distributed one to each of them. “I haven’t found anything yet! When I have something good, I’ll definitely let you know!”
Everyone believed in Qiao Mei’s character. She would share whatever good things she had with them and would definitely not treat them badly.
“Qiao Mei, did you hear that Qiao Zhuang’s family is back?” Auntie Wang whispered.
“I don’t know. I’ve been busy recently. What happened?” Qiao Mei asked.
Auntie Dong patted Auntie Wang’s thigh. She was the one who should be reporting such juicy gossip. She knew a lot of things that others did not.
“Come, let me tell you! That day, I saw Qiao Zhuang and his family coming back looking very depressed, and they had Qiao Fu in a carriage with a blanket over his head! Those who didn’t know better would think that it’s a funeral. The whole family had such dark expressions and didn’t say anything. It was so scary!” Auntie Dong said vividly.
Everyone chimed in. A few of them had gathered at the village entrance to chit chat that day and they had seen the expressions on Qiao Zhuang’s family members. It was not an exaggeration for Auntie Dong to describe that it was like a funeral! They were just short of tying up a big white flower and crying out a few times!
“I heard that Qiao Fu’s legs were amputated and he almost got castrated! This is really karma for evil people. Now, he lies at home every day and his mother, Shen Ge, takes care of him. Now that Qiao Fu’s wife is gone and his daughter ran away in anger, he’s left alone,” Auntie Dong said.
Qiao Mei did not say anything about Liu Ying working in the county armed forces department, nor did she ask Chen Hu to tell Liu Ying about this matter. Telling Liu Ying about Qiao Fu would just be hurting her. With Qiao Fu’s current state, he would definitely need someone to take care of him for the rest of his life. Liu Ying had already been abused by that family for half her life. Did she have to continue to suffer for the rest of her life?
As for Qiao Hua, both Qiao Mei and Liu Ying could not manage to contact her anymore. She would have to walk her own path.
“Qiao Mei, how’s your grandfather? My husband came home and told me that your grandfather was also seriously injured,” Wang Wu’s wife said worriedly.
“He’s fine. The stitches on his head can be removed tomorrow. The wound is almost healed,” Qiao Mei said lightly.
As the saying went, it would take 100 days for one to recover from a serious injury. Qiao Qiang was almost fully recovered after a month and it really shocked everyone. It seemed that it was true to say that there was a Great Immortal in the mountains protecting Qiao Qiang.
“It’s good to hear that your grandfather is fine. We are all so worried,” Wang Wu’s wife said.
Although Qiao Qiang had killed countless people in the army when he was young, it was to protect his country and the people. It was something that benefited the world and he was a great hero.
Such a hero would definitely get help from the Great Immortals in the mountains if he got into trouble. Their village relied on Qiao Qiang’s reputation to get things done outside. Other villages did not have such a hero, and only their village did.
Usually, the county city would also give priority to their village when there were any benefits.
