Chapter 251 His choking to death was fate; my ability to remember my past life was a blessing from G
Qiao Manman didn't hear anything more. She thought the leaders were really clever to have gotten away with such a clumsy excuse. The key was that someone believed it.
Lu Yuan closed the bedroom door and saw his wife come out of the room, smiling at him. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he turned off the living room light and followed her back into the room.
The two slammed the door shut, took off their thick cotton-padded coats, and went to sleep in their thermal underwear.
Lu Yuan thought to himself, "Qian Xiaoni is such a troublemaker, preventing me from being intimate with my wife."
Qiao Manman didn't mind; she wasn't addicted and could take this opportunity to rest. As for Lu Yuan, she could just make him some herbal soup to reduce internal heat.
Qiao Manman chuckled and closed her eyes, using her consciousness to work in the space. Digging holes, burying seeds, and watering them—she was quite happy.
Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that his wife was asleep. He sighed helplessly and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Next door, Qian Xiaoni was furious.
"Xu Xiaotian, I now have memories of my past life, and I'm not on the same level as you. If you know what's good for you, you'll divorce me!"
Xu Xiaotian was also angry: "Qian Xiaoni, I think you've gone mad. How many of the things you said are correct? The leaders give you some face, don't take advantage of it."
"Xu Xiaotian, even the leader didn't say anything harsh, so why are you scolding me? Let me tell you, Hao Hao from Sister Sun's house will choke to death tomorrow. Just wait and see!"
Xu Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, then his tone softened: "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I remember it very clearly. Sun Hao choked on a red date and died before he even got to the hospital."
"What else? Tell me specifically. If we can save Hao Hao, that would be a good deed!"
Qian Xiaoni rolled her eyes: "Why save him? He choked to death; that was fate. Just like how I can remember my past life—it's a blessing from God!"
Xu Xiaotian looked at Qian Xiaoni in disbelief: "When did you become so cold-blooded and terrifying?"
"I'm cold-blooded, I'm terrifying? That's because you haven't tasted the power!"
Do you know what it feels like to stand on a stage and be looked up to by everyone? Do you know the power of having someone offer money with just a word, or to have someone teach someone a lesson with just a glare?
Do you know how wealthy I was in my past life, living in a mansion, driving luxury cars, and eating shark fin and bird's nest at every meal?
you do not know!
Xu Xiaotian, don't judge me with your shallow understanding!
Xu Xiaotian felt his worldview shattering and then rebuilding, a thousand words stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered: "Equality for all..."
"Ha, only you would think that way!"
"Xu Xiaotian, we're not from the same world. My future belongs to standing shoulder to shoulder with outstanding individuals like Lu Yuan. You, on the other hand, are only fit to grovel at my feet!"
Xu Xiaotian stared at the woman with a frenzied expression, feeling as if those few minutes had passed into centuries.
Suddenly, he laughed: "Really? Then I'll wait and see!"
He thought to himself, if Qian Xiaoni could have a sister-in-law as good as Qiao Manman, he would eat shit upside down!
Qian Xiaoni, oblivious to his sarcastic tone, nodded haughtily: "At least you know your place!"
There was no point in arguing, so Xu Xiaotian ignored the other person, picked up his blanket, and went to the living room.
He spread out his hands on the wooden bed and lay down to sleep. But a series of unexpected events made it impossible for him to sleep.
Every time I close my eyes, I see the image of Little Stone. I wonder where Grandpa took him and whether he will suffer.
Xu Xiaotian wanted to ask for leave to go back to the production team in person. But in the entire unit, he was the only one who was closest to Qian Xiaoni.
After careful consideration, the leaders decided to let him stay and sent other comrades to investigate.
I just hope to get the news soon.
Hearing the two arguing, Lu Yuan pursed his lips and ignored them, instead hugging his wife tighter.
Qiao Manman didn't take Qian Xiaoni seriously at all. After planting for a while, she drifted off to sleep.
He slept soundly until dawn, and before he even got out of bed, he heard Qian Xiaoni calling out in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Lu Yuan, are you awake? Get up and have breakfast!"
Qiao Manman gagged: "How pretentious!"
She raised her hand and gently patted Lu Yuan's chest: "Brother Lu Yuan, do you want to have some breakfast?"
The same words, spoken by different people, evoke completely different feelings. One second you feel nauseous and want to vomit, the next you feel your bones go numb.
The two of them got dressed, folded their blankets, and waited for the female colleague to come over. They put the blankets in the closet, locked them, and then got up to go home.
Qian Xiaoni broke down: "Qiao Manman, what do you mean? Are you afraid I'll go in and touch your blankets?"
Most people, out of politeness, would at least exchange a few pleasantries even if they were displeased. But Qiao Manman was different; she admitted it directly.
"Yeah, I'm afraid you're still eyeing us and might sneak off to sleep under our blankets. That would be so disgusting!"
The woman couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, Sister-in-law Lu, I'm just a person who likes to smile a lot!"
"I understand, I understand. Have you eaten yet, comrade? Would you like me to bring you some?"
"No need, sister-in-law, I've already eaten. I even brought food for Comrade Qian and Comrade Xu. My name is Xia Zhao, you can just call me Xiao Xia."
"Okay, Xia, Lu Yuan and I will head over now. We'll leave things here to you!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Qiao Manman left with Lu Yuan, but as soon as they stepped out the door, Xu Xiaotian called out to them.
"Battalion Commander Lu..."
After whispering to each other for a while, Lu Yuan patted his shoulder with a serious expression: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this!"
He turned around and told Qiao Manman what had happened. Qiao Manman didn't even go home. She went to Sister Sun's place and exchanged all the red dates with her for money.
"It was picked from the mountain, it's not worth that much!"
"Don't overthink it, sister-in-law. Let's make a fair deal and help each other out."
She glanced at Sun Hao and said casually, "Hao Hao is three years old this year, right? You have to be careful when he eats. Chew his food thoroughly before swallowing. You absolutely mustn't run while eating!"
"Hey, that little rascal, he can't sit still. Little Lu's wife, hurry home, don't keep your man waiting."
Qiao Manman nodded and quickly left. She handed the red dates to Lu Yuan, asking him to report the situation to his superiors, and then went home to cook.
Millet porridge, vegetarian steamed buns, a piece of beef, and a dozen cherries—a hearty and nutritious meal.
Just as they finished eating, they heard someone exclaim in surprise. Qiao Manman went to the window and saw a crowd gathered around the building where Sister-in-law Sun was.
Fearing something might happen, Qiao Manman rushed out without even putting on a cotton-padded coat. The temperature was minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius just after the first month of the lunar calendar, and the wind made her shiver all over.
He gritted his teeth and rushed to the front of everyone, only to see Hao Hao, who was pale and bluish-white, and his sister-in-law, Sun, who was in a flustered state.
Xia Zhao held Hao Hao in one arm and used the other to try to pry out the foreign object from his throat.
Xu Xiaotian walked quickly, jogging to the bungalow to borrow a bicycle from the leader's family. The others also chimed in with suggestions.
Only Qian Xiaoni watched the commotion while munching on sunflower seeds, seemingly unconcerned.
He even made sarcastic remarks: "I knew it! He deserved this fate. Stop making a fuss; if God wants him dead, no one can save him!"
Qiao Manman ran over, still catching her breath, and tried to snatch the child from Xia Zhao: "Comrade Xia, give it to me, I will save it!"
