Chapter 92: A Thorough Glow Up 2
Dabao clutched onto Qi Qingyao’s pants and asked quietly, “Mommy, what are you going to do?”
Qi Qingyao patted Dabao’s head and smiled, saying unhurriedly, “You’ll find out in a bit.”
After the time taken to burn a stick of incense had passed, Zhang Cuiyun brought Zhang Tieyuan, who was a little drunk. Qi Qingyao scrutinized the middle-aged man.
“Zhang Tieyuan.”
Zhang Tieyuan’s eyes were bloodshot and he was holding a small wine jar in his hand. Drunk and confused, he looked at Qi Qingyao in a daze and asked in disdain, “Who the heck are you?”
Qi Qingyao replied, “I would like to discuss a business deal with you.”
“Talk about business?” Zhang Tieyuan was extremely drunk and his mind would fail to register half the words at times.
Qi Qingyao answered casually, “I want to buy your house and your land for one hundred taels.”
“One, one hundred?”
Zhang Tieyuan finally came to his senses at that moment.
He was not the only one.
At the side, the expressions of Ma Sanye, Matron Ma, and a few other neighbors were instantly one of rapt attention. One hundred taels? To village folk like them, this figure of money was not something they could save up even in three lifetimes. Their annual home expenses were but only two or three taels of silver.
For an ordinary family, one was considered to be wealthy when they could have a string of mace.
Ma Sanye was also stunned by her sudden proposal and quietly asked her, “What do you mean, buy their land and house with one hundred taels?
The neighbors mumbled, “What she means is that the land and the house will belong to her. Zhang Tieyuan can do whatever he wants with the money.”
Matron Ma grumbled, “You could buy a house in Qingzhou Town with one hundred taels.”
Zhang Tieyuan heard what these few people had to say and seemed to have sobered up somewhat but he was still confused. Looking at Qi Qingyao with a pair of egg-like eyes, he asked, “You, can you really fork out one hundred taels?”
Qi Qingyao reached out her hand over toward Si Jin and Si Jin passed her a money pouch. She opened the pouch and poured out some silvers, asking, “This shiny silver money, I’m sure you know of it.”
Zhang Tieyuan’s breathing stopped that moment. “…”
He knew it.
Of course, he knew it.
That really was silver!
One hundred taels of silvers.
Everyone else was speechless. “…”
Zhang Tieyuan grabbed one of the silver ingots and squeezed it vehemently. Fortunately, his sanity was still intact and he put down the ingot tensely and said through gritted teeth, “You, give me some time to think about this.”
With that, he turned around and left the village head’s house.
Zhang Cuiyun turned to look at her father’s silhouette, then back at the wealthy young woman in front of her before following her father back after some hesitation.
…
Jiang Yeqian sat on the side quietly, observing her every move.
Her eyebrows were beautiful, attractive.
Her behavior had been extremely calculating but also calm and gentle.
Once a dunce but suddenly no more; possessing medical skills and having mastered the universe. This was not something ordinary people could do.
A thought suddenly popped up in Jiang Yeqian’s mind. Could it be that she had been resurrected through a loaned corpse?
The Qi Qingyao of present and the Qi Qingyao from before were not the same person…
Once this idea emerged, it was like a boiling oil pan, sizzling so loudly that it could no longer be stopped.
If the actual fool had died and someone had returned from the dead and was completely different from the original, when he thought about it, it seemed to be an explanation for it.
It could also explain why she suddenly had medical skills…
No, there was still another possibility.
Perhaps the Qi Qingyao from before had not actually been a fool but was only pretending to be one. Had she always been dormant?
Yet, there was no sense to that.
It was impossible for an ordinary girl to have casual relationships with men and put herself in a shameless situation.
Jiang Yeqian frowned and kept silent.
