"I guess so!"
In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know either. He only knew that He Nian had amnesia and didn't know where she came from. Qiao Runming had severed ties with the Qiao family and had two nephews from Shanghai who were quite eloquent.
He had a suspicion in his heart, but he didn't ask it aloud. He didn't want anyone to have something to say about the Lu family, or about his marriage with Manman.
Lu Yuan went upstairs, knocked lightly on the door, and upon hearing "Come in," pushed the door open and entered.
Qiao Manman was seen sitting on the headboard reading a book, something called "Nightly Pampering," her pretty face flushed red.
"Are you done with your work?" Qiao Manman guiltily hid her novel under the covers, just as Lu Yuan said, "Grandpa wants a few fertility pills!"
Without saying a word, Qiao Manman took out a porcelain bottle from her spatial storage, inside which were ten fertility pills.
Do you need a prescription?
"No need. We'll act according to the situation once we get to the Northeast."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and told Lu Yuan to get back to work.
He closed the door and continued reading his erotic novel. He couldn't help but burst into laughter at some of the more amusing parts.
The somber night began when Lu Yuan returned, locked the door, and took the book from her hands.
However, things still stopped at the crucial moment. Qiao Manman's persistence drove Lu Yuan to depression.
The next day, Lu Qihua called Li Minghua to his workplace and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with the pills.
Li Minghua smelled it, then scraped off some powder and tasted it.
After a moment, he nodded: "Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with this medicine. If you take it regularly, it can improve your health."
Lu Qihua frowned: "Isn't this a drug that makes people pregnant and give birth?"
Li Minghua paused, then scraped off another piece of powder to taste: "Hmm...maybe, perhaps, possibly, it has this function?"
He was a little unsure.
"In short, it's edible and non-toxic, right!"
"Yes!"
Lu Qihua nodded and took out an old ginseng from the drawer: "Could you please make this into a nourishing pill for me?"
Li Minghua opened the box and saw the well-preserved old ginseng. He was quite excited: "Grandpa, where did you get this?"
Lu Qihua said proudly, "My granddaughter-in-law gave it to me!"
Li Minghua gave a thumbs up: "I had surgery the day before yesterday and couldn't attend Xiaoyuan's wedding. It seems it's time to go over there."
Lu Qihua's expression turned serious: "Go back to where you are, but don't put pressure on Manman. It's already quite an achievement for her to get such an old ginseng."
"I know, I know, I just want some tea and honey."
"You have a good eye for things, but I'm not sure if Manman is still available."
Li Minghua didn't mind: "Just consider it a chance to catch up with old friends, and also to get your little Yuan checked out."
I heard he was seriously injured recently, which is probably why he's been able to stay back for so long.
The old man nodded: "Alright, go ahead!"
Li Minghua left and went straight to the military compound. Lu Qihua pondered for a moment and decided to go and report to his old leader.
"Boss, my wife Manman has come up with some kind of medicine that she says can improve health and help women conceive. My thought is..."
The old leader sipped the honey Qiao Manman gave him and nodded: "Let's give it a try. If it really increases the birth rate, that would be a good thing. After all, many hands make light work!"
Meanwhile, Li Minghua rode his bicycle to the Lu family's house, only to find that Qiao Manman was not there.
Lu Yuan offered him some fine tea: "Uncle Li, it's been a long time. You look much older."
"If you saw so many patients every day, wouldn't you look aged?"
"It was only after your old man called the hospital that I was able to steal a moment of peace."
Li Minghua took a sip of tea: "The tea in Hangzhou is just different from that in Beijing!"
Lu Yuan thought to himself, "That's definitely different. His wife added half a health-preserving tea to it, which is very nourishing!"
"By the way, when is your wife coming back? I knew you were a cold-hearted person, how could you possibly run around for someone else? Sure enough, you two are now a family!"
"Uncle Li, don't talk nonsense. When have I ever disregarded the lives and property of the people?"
"That's because you're wearing a military uniform. Besides, how can the affairs of ordinary people be the same as those of a young woman?"
"That girl from so-and-so's family was lying under your car, and you didn't even stop to take her to the hospital!"
Lu Yuan had no way to refute this, and handed Li Minghua a few pastries: "It's all in the past, Uncle Li, don't mention it again."
"That's true. All the girls you rejected are married now. It would only add to their burden if you told them."
Li Minghua sipped his tea and glanced outside. Lu Yuan smiled and said, "My wife probably won't be back until mid-afternoon."
Li Minghua paused in his tea-drinking motion and asked, "Who's in charge in your family?"
"What's wrong, Uncle Li? Tell me!"
"I just wanted to ask if Manman still has any tea and honey. I'd like to spend some money to buy some."
Also, the ginseng is quite good. If you find any of similar quality, please save some for me; I'll buy it.
Lu Yuan nodded: "I don't know, I'll have to ask my wife."
"I knew you couldn't make decisions. I could tell from the start. What's that called in the South again? A henpecked husband. Yes, that's it!"
Lu Yuan wasn't annoyed by the scolding. He smiled and asked Aunt Zhou to cook a couple more dishes, as he wanted to entertain his guests.
Qiao Manman went out early in the morning, disguised herself, and went to the Friendship Store to buy calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, and jade carvings in a large quantity, pretending to be a foreigner.
With her blonde hair, blue eyes, and fluent English, no one doubted Qiao Manman's identity. Furthermore, the fact that she had the goods delivered to the best room in the international hotel made the sales staff even more vigilant.
Finally, they had someone deliver a wooden box inside, and then brought it out again half an hour later, successfully creating the illusion that the treasure had been moved.
Qiao Manman followed the people carrying the boxes to a secluded and quiet spot, and gave them a large sum of money: "Brother, thank you!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills.
The man collapsed to the ground. Qiao Manman removed her blonde hair and colored contact lenses, took off her mink coat, and put on a padded jacket. She took off her leather boots and put on black cloth shoes, instantly transforming from a stylish foreign girl into the most ordinary young wife in Kyoto.
They pried open the man's mouth and stuffed some Forget-Me-Not powder inside. Feeling it wasn't right to leave him there, they also put some White Rabbit candies in his pocket as compensation.
After finishing her work, she kicked the man. Seeing his brows furrow slightly, Qiao Manman quickly carried her boxes away.
After she disappeared around the street corner, the man woke up. Finding himself lying on the ground, he panicked.
I thought I'd run into a robber, but when I reached into my pocket, I found a ten-yuan note.
"What's going on? Has the heavens intervened? Oh my god, there's even candy, White Rabbit milk candy!"
Overwhelmed with surprise, the man couldn't remember why he had fainted.
I ran home excitedly to share my good luck with my family.
Qiao Manman found the Lu family's bicycle at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. She tied the box to the back seat and rode back.
