At that time, Qi Moli was so angry that she wanted to kill him. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the courage.

The day before yesterday, she heard that Wang Manqiu had resigned from his post due to a serious illness and returned to his hometown. She had heaved a sigh of relief then. She did not expect him to have… a dirty disease.

If she’d known that, she would have stabbed the bastard.

…

Qi Moli had initially hated Wang Manqiu with all her heart, fantasizing about killing him in all kinds of ways.

When she heard Qi Shan and Qi Zhen’s conversation in the courtyard, she practically collapsed.

Qi Shan had been making matchboxes in the yard before Qi Zhen left the house. When she saw Qi Zhen beaming with joy, she stopped her, in part to tease her and also to seek out information. “Zhen’er, where are you going?”

Qi Shan and the others would find out about both the medicinal prescription and the oven sooner or later, Qi Zhen thought. Without hiding anything, Qi Zhen said, “Mianmian said that everyone in the family has strained their eyes, so she asked me to buy some herbs to make herbal tea that can improve our vision. She also asked me to buy some bricks and stuff to make an oven. When her feet are better, we’ll bake cakes and bread to sell together.”

Qi Shan’s heart skipped a beat. She was secretly proud of her foresight.

Without batting an eyelid, she began to praise Qi Mianmian. “Mianmian is really amazing. I knew she wasn’t just an ordinary person. We’re very lucky to be able to bask in her light as her family. Mm, Zhen’er, you should go quickly. When you’re brewing the herbal tea, let me know, and I’ll help watch the fire. I can’t drink it for free, right?”

Qi Zhen was not jealous at all when she heard Qi Shanshan praise Qi Mianmian. She smiled and said, “Of course, you should know who her older sisters are.”

She skipped away after saying that.

Qi Shan was speechless.

Qi Shan did not know whether to laugh or cry, but Qi Moli was furious.

Why was she in such a terrible position? What right did Qi Zhen, Qi Tian, and Qi Mianmian have to improve their fortunes while she was trapped between life and death?

No, she had to drag them all down to hell with her.

She secretly began to scheme.

At around nine in the morning, Qi Mianmian finally saw the face of her older brother, Qi Fang.

Qi Fang and Qi Zhen were twins. He was born half a minute earlier than Qi Zhen and was considered the second son of the family.

He and Qi Zhen, who were only 19 years old, both had features that resembled Luo Qingwen’s. They were both astoundingly good-looking.

However, unlike Luo Qingwen’s causticity and Qi Zhen’s cluelessness, he was an extremely bashful person.

It wasn’t a good thing for even a girl to be overly shy, yet he was a boy…

Qi Mianmian was somewhat speechless.

But she did not mind.

Her brother’s eyes were clear and he always smiled in greeting when he saw others. He was just as frank and honest as he was in her acquired memories.

He, who had failed the college entrance examination not long ago, had just found a temporary job loading and unloading goods at the fertilizer factory nearby a month ago.

For a job like that, there were no fixed working hours. He had to be there whenever the goods needed to be transported.

Hence, he came home late last night and went to work late today.

He had specially come to ask about Qi Mianmian’s injuries.

He opened the door and scratched his head in embarrassment. Looking at his toes, he spoke with a smile, “Mianmian, are you feeling better? Do you need me to send you to the clinic?”

Qi Mianmian shook her head with a smile as she knit rapidly. “It’s already scabbed over, and it doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m fine.”

“Alright, have a good rest. I’m going to work.”

“Hey, Big Brother, can you come home early today? We want to set up an oven in the kitchen to make cakes and bread for sale. We’re not good at making cement. Can you help us?”

Qi Fang’s eyes widened for a moment before he nodded with a smile. “Alright, I’ll come home after I finish my work at noon.”

…

After Qi Fang said that, he left with a smile.

His youngest sister used to be lifeless, but now she was full of vitality. He decided to hate Luo Qingwen just a little less.

Last night, when he heard that his youngest sister had been bullied by Luo Qingwen, he had almost gone to the Wen family house with a kitchen knife, ready to chop Luo Qingwen up.

Not long after Qi Fang left, Qi Zhen returned with the bamboo basket.

She went straight to the bedroom shared by the three sisters. “Mianmian, I’ve already ordered the bricks and cement. They will send it over soon.

I’ve also bought the medicine. Five portions. Ah, it’s really cheap.

The medicine only cost eighty cents, and the transportation fees for the bricks were only one yuan and forty cents. There’s seventeen yuan and eighty cents left. Mianmian, thank you for lending me so much pocket money.

Oh yes, I’ve bought a bag of White Rabbit Milk Candy. Big Sis and I will each have one. The rest is for you.”
