Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1220 - 220_5

Liu Jinxia pointed at the two of them and said, "Well, you couldn't wait, huh? You've already tied the black cloth, really eager to drink at my funeral!"

Mr. Shan immediately tore off the black cloth.

Li Sanjiang asked in confusion, "Hey, you can actually see?"

Liu Jinxia: "I had cataract surgery a long time ago."

Mr. Shan: "Then why have you been pretending to be blind?"

Li Sanjiang gave Mr. Shan a smack on the back of his head: "Serves you right for being poor all the time, you old coot!"

Liu Jinxia: "If I'm not blind, then I wouldn't be able to make a living, would I?"

Li Sanjiang took out an envelope from his inner lining, filled with photos:

"Not blind, not blind, great timing with Shan Pao here too, come, everyone look at the photos I took in Beijing."

Liu Jinxia asked incredulously, "Weren't you here to collect my body this morning? And you brought these photos?"

Li Sanjiang: "Little Yuanhou developed several copies for me. You didn't see this one when you were alive, I planned to burn it for you."

Liu Jinxia laughed in exasperation: "Li Sanjiang, thank you, I won't escape you even in death."

Li Sanjiang spat and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't let Xiang Hou hear and misunderstand, I'm a whole generation older than you. By the way, where's Xiang Hou?"

Liu Jinxia: "She slept with a stiff neck, in pain, went to find a doctor to fix it."

The doctor was amazed when checking Liu Jinxia's recovery and advised her to stay for a few more days, but Liu Jinxia insisted on being discharged today.

So, when Li Juxiang came back with a crooked neck, she went to handle the discharge procedures, and two tricycles carried four people back to Li Sanjiang's house.

Li Sanjiang instructed Aunt Liu to make a sumptuous lunch today to celebrate the discharge of Liu Xiazi.

Liu Xiazi saw Liu Yumei sitting and drinking tea and subtly joined in.

In the past, Liu Xiazi would organize people during free time to come here and play bridge with Liu Yumei.

Liu Yumei chuckled, "It was quite a calamity, but it's good you got through it."

Liu Jinxia: "Isn't it? I thought I wouldn't make it this time."

Liu Yumei: "It's the reward for your kindness."

Liu Jinxia: "I don't deserve such praise, purely heaven's blessing."

Liu Yumei pushed the snacks in front of her towards Liu Jinxia, signaling her to eat.

Liu Jinxia acknowledged with a sound, indeed hungry, and started eating the snacks.

In the past, she would win others over by keeping stored meals and tea, attracting her old card pals to play, but here with Liu Yumei, it was like the tables turned.

Not only did people not mind her bad reputation, but the snacks were always varied and delicious, even though she couldn't discern the tea, she found it fragrant to drink.

When Xiao Yuan came down, Liu Yumei waved at him and then told Liu Jinxia they'd play cards in the afternoon, before getting up and going into the East Room.

Li Zhiyuan first chatted with Liu Jinxia for a bit, congratulated her on her discharge, and then went into the East Room.

Liu Yumei got straight to the point, "Xiao Yuan, when do you think Alii will be able to go out?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Maybe later, no rush, shouldn't be too far off."

Actually, what happened last night was just a minor episode. Emotionally, Li Zhiyuan didn't want Alii to follow him around on dangerous travels.

Moreover, while Alii's condition had improved a lot, with him around, avoiding crowds was manageable, but going out and about on travels wasn't very realistic yet.

While traveling, it's not just crowds they'd encounter; past hordes of undead at the General's Tomb made Alii's condition react.

Liu Yumei nodded, "I think the same, but Alii wants to help you."

Li Zhiyuan: "I know, and Alii has already helped me a lot."

Liu Yumei: "You have your plans, I trust. You handle these matters as you see fit."

Just then, Uncle Qin came inside, sent by Aunt Liu to fetch medicine for Xiang Hou.

Liu Yumei pointed at Uncle Qin and said to Li Zhiyuan:

"Not just Alii, even Ah Ting and that Ali, you should plan arrangements. They might be clumsy, but at least they have strength."

Uncle Qin paused, unsure whether to continue getting the medicine or stand and listen for instructions.

Li Zhiyuan: "Grandma, we're all family, nothing needs planning."

Liu Yumei waved her hand: "No rules, no stability. Even in family, someone needs to lead, Grandma hopes you'll grow up to carry that role."

"I will, Grandma."

No point in declining at this moment.

Liu Yumei looked at Uncle Qin, raising an eyebrow: "Did you hear that?"

Uncle Qin: "Heard it, I'll relay it to Ah Ting."

Liu Yumei: "Ah Ting doesn't need your message, she understands, focus on yourself first."

Uncle Qin: "Yes."

Lin Shuyou was sitting on a small stool in the yard, shelling edamame.

Yin Meng walked over, sat on the bench beside him, and reached to grab a handful to help with shelling.

Lin Shuyou immediately pulled them back in front of himself, "Shelling these can hurt your hands."

Yin Meng: "I'm not cooking, what are you afraid of?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Shuyou: "It's bad luck."

Yin Meng quietly tugged on Lin Shuyou's sleeve, whispering, "Did you notice, Xiang Hou has been watching you."

"Really?"

"Yes. I mean, did you get caught by her?"

"I don't think so."

"When did she wake up?"

"Run Sheng brought us medicine, she woke up when I was feeding her."

"Did she see you?"

"No, it was still dark, she couldn't see me. I warned her, if she moved or resisted, I'd threaten her mother and daughter, so she drank the medicine obediently."
