Jiang Yeqian looked at this village woman with slight surprise. She actually had so dical skills? He was really lucky to be alive.
Qi Qingyuan said, “Don’t think you can worm your way out of my dical and labor fees just because you think you are good-looking. I’ll find a day to drag you away and sell you off! Regardless, spit out whatever you’ve eaten at my expense.”
Jiang Yeqian smiled but said nothing.
He was not bothered to place himself on the sa level as this village woman.
He would leave once his health recovered. He had no choice but to pretend to have amnesia temporarily.
Qi Qingyuan looked at this man cautiously. “What stupid luck I have that you’re suffering from amnesia. You wouldn’t be freeloading at my place for the next few days, would you? Let tell you sothing, all I have in my house are four walls. There’s no place for you to be freeloading here.”
“If you can’t even rember your na, we’ll call you Dog Balls… Or Leftover Dog! Take your pick.”
Jiang Yeqian imdiately pretended to rember sothing when he heard this. “I… I think I’m called… Jiang Bai.”
Jiang Bai?
It seed to suit the way he dressed.
Qi Qingyuan did not doubt him on this.
Dinner was stead fish again later in that day. She was in a bad mood and had nowhere else to vent.
“Damn it, there isn’t enough good in the first place. Now, I have to feed an extra mouth!”
The extra mouth, “…”
Jiang Yeqian, who was not able to move yet, sized up the house. It was a very pathetic-looking small hut and there was only the mother and three children. He did not see any signs of a man.
‘Could the man of the house be dead?’ He thought.
Qi Qingyuan fed Jiang Yeqian so fish during dinner. There was not enough to eat, but she did not let Jiang Yeqian go completely hungry. Another bowl of dicine mixed with ginseng was poured into him.
After their al, Qi Qingyuan cleaned up the chopsticks and bowls.
Jiang Yeqian, who was lying on the clay stove, and the three babies stared at each other for a while before he asked curiously.
“Does your mummy have a bad temper?”
Xiaobao said with a sweet smile on his face, “No, she doesn’t. Mummy is the most patient.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
Was that soone who seed patient?
He hesitated before asking again, “Is there anything else to eat besides fish?”
He did not see any other dishes during dinner. There was no rice nor noodles. He found this quite strange.
It was not a famine year.
Dabao and Erniu pressed their lips and stayed silent.
Xiaobao’s aty cheeks puffed up as he smiled. He looked especially innocent. “Mummy’s brains weren’t too bright before. We’ve been picking up leftover rice and dishes from others. It’s actually pretty good now that we have fresh fish to eat!”
“I’m talking about grains,” Jiang Yeqian said.
Xiaobao said pitifully with tears in his eyes. “There’s no grains nor vegetables…”
Jiang Yeqian kept silent before slowly mumbling, “Is that so?”
The babies’ eyes widened as they nodded seriously with their little heads.
Jiang Yeqian, “What about your father?”
Xiao Bao frowned with his tiny brows. “Grandfather says we’re bastards because we don’t a father. We’ve never t our father before.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…”
What kind of person had he been picked up by?!
This was unbelievable.

A few days had passed and Madam Guo still did not dare enter East Villageside. All she dared was to ask Qi Yuancheng after lunch, “What do you think? Could she still be alive?”
Qi Yuancheng replied, “How could she be still alive after these few days?! She must have frozen to death.”
“Let’s go over now to take a look,” Madam Guo tried to pull Qi Yuancheng along to take a look at the situation as she said this.
Qi Yuancheng was the eldest of the Qi family and had so smarts about him. He stopped his wife and reminded her not to act so brashly. With that, he got his son to get Uncle Wu over. Madam Guo was puzzled, but Qi Yuancheng explained, “Let go over to take a look first.”
Madam Guo, “You’re right.”
