Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 245: Is This Really Happening?

"Contagious?"

Qin Minglang immediately shook his head upon hearing this, "It’s not that serious. When they moved to the village, my senior brother and I checked their pulses. Although they have some ailments, it’s not to the point of being contagious. Don’t worry, it’s not an epidemic or something like that."

Hearing this, Yi Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but was still uneasy, "Then what the teacher just said about not being too good..."

"What wasn’t too good, was referring to..."

Qin Minglang was about to explain when Yin Cheng interrupted, "Referring to nothing, the hell it is! Time to cook!"

After saying this, Yin Cheng grabbed Qin Minglang’s sleeve and walked away.

This scene left everyone astonished.

Yin Cheng was known for his bad temper, but it was rare for him to interrupt people like this.

The women of the Qi Family looked at each other, all a bit confused.

At this moment, Qi Manman suddenly asked, "Mom, what is a filthy disease?"

The faces of the adults changed at those words.

Before Yi Meng could speak, Mrs. Qi immediately pulled her little granddaughter into her arms, gently slapped her bottom, and scolded, "Stop asking about everything! Forget what just happened and don’t mention it again, understand?"

"Grandma, waaa, waaa, you hit Manbao..."

Qi Manman’s tears came quickly, and with a pout, large teardrops started rolling down.

This scene surprised the crowd once again.

How much did the old lady usually dote on the little girl, yet she actually laid hands today.

Mrs. Qi regretted her action immediately, but she still kept a stern face and said, "I hit you so that you’d remember, don’t go blabbering about dirty stuff, got it?"

Qi Manman twisted her body, trying to break free from Mrs. Qi’s embrace, but her little strength was no match for Mrs. Qi’s. She struggled several times without success.

Yi Meng felt sorry for her little girl but knew that her mother-in-law wasn’t wrong this time, so she said, "Manbao, don’t you understand how much Grandma loves you? She’s saying this for your own good, remember that."

"Mom..."

Qi Manman looked at her mother aggrievedly, "But Grandma hit my butt."

"Did it hurt?"

Yi Meng asked.

Qi Manman felt around and shook her head, "No, it didn’t hurt; Grandma didn’t use any strength."

"If there was no strength and it didn’t hurt, why are you crying? Do you want to make Grandma feel bad so she won’t dare to hold you in the future?"

Yi Meng continued to ask.

This made Qi Manman anxious, and she immediately hugged Mrs. Qi’s neck, resting her head on her shoulder, wailing, "No way! I want Grandma to hold me! Grandma has to hold me in the future too!"

Mrs. Qi was filled with regret and sadness just now.

She had only patted lightly, yet this little girl wouldn’t want to be close to her, which was too heartbreaking.

But now seeing the little girl clinging to her, all sadness and anger vanished in an instant.

Mrs. Qi hugged her little granddaughter and softened her voice, "Of course, Grandma will always hold our Manbao!"

"Mmm, mmm, Grandma is the best!"

The little girl finished speaking and gave Mrs. Qi a big kiss on the cheek, which made Mrs. Qi beam with joy.

Everyone else finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qi Manman obediently didn’t ask what a filthy disease was anymore, there was still a knot left in everyone’s hearts, weighing heavily, leaving them unsure how to comment on the matter.

Although Chen Xiaomei moved to Yongping Village later, all the women in the village knew she was a young girl; let alone married, she hadn’t even been courted.

A little girl like that ending up with a filthy disease, how could people make sense of it?

At this time, Wang Daya returned with Qi Dalang.

Both mother and son were drenched in sweat.

"Mom, Da, Dalang is back."

Wang Daya spoke breathlessly due to running in a hurry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi was annoyed, "Why run in this hot weather, the sky isn’t falling down!"

After scolding Wang Daya, she turned to Mu Yunniang and said, "Third daughter-in-law, quickly soak a warm cloth to wipe your sister-in-law’s sweat."

"Okay."

Mu Yunniang swiftly went to get a cloth, while Qu Laodi and Ai Zhaodi made room for Wang Daya and her son to sit.

"Granny, is there any work?"

After sitting down, Qi Dalang wiped his sweat with his sleeve and asked.

Mrs. Qi opened her mouth and was about to mention Chen Xiaomei’s situation, but recalling her granddaughter’s question about filthy disease, she swallowed her words.

She glanced at Yi Meng and said, "It was your fourth aunt looking for you. Okay, it’s hot out; I’ll take Manbao back inside first."

Then, Mrs. Qi carried Qi Manman to her room.

Qi Dalang was puzzled.

Wasn’t his mom saying Granny was looking for him to do some work?

How did it suddenly turn to be fourth aunt looking for him?

And wasn’t fourth aunt doing her confinement? Why would she come out?

Qi Dalang was completely confused.

Yi Meng understood her mother-in-law’s worries, so she shook her head at Qi Dalang; only after the old lady and the little girl’s figures vanished into the house did she speak in a low voice, "Dalang, has anyone talked to you about introducing you to a girl lately?"

"Huh?"

Qi Dalang’s already tanned skin turned bright red upon hearing this, and he stuttered, "Fourth, Fourth Aunt, why, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Just answer! Why so much stuttering?"

Wang Daya was so angry she slapped her son’s arm.

At this time, the boy still has such a reaction.

Qi Dalang was dumbfounded, "No, Mom, I, I..."

"Alright, sister-in-law, don’t rush. Our Dalang is a good kid; let’s talk things over with him, and he’ll surely answer."

Yi Meng stopped Wang Daya from continuing to land slaps on his arm.

Wang Daya glared at her son, gave a heavy snort, and then dropped her hand.

Yi Meng said to Qi Dalang, "Fourth Aunt heard a family in the village likes you and wants you to marry their daughter, do you know anything about it?"

"What? There’s such a thing? I, I don’t know!"

Qi Dalang looked genuinely shocked, with no pretense.

Yi Meng and Wang Daya exchanged glances, and they both understood.

The issue hadn’t reached Dalang yet.

Yi Meng let out a sigh of relief and softly continued, "Dalang, you are the Eldest Grandson of the Qi Family; you are the oldest of your generation, and your brothers and sisters will look up to you in learning things. So when faced with matters, you need to think more, consider carefully; don’t be misled by others. Do you understand?"

Qi Dalang nodded, then shook his head, "But, Fourth Aunt, what’s going on? I, I, I mean, who in the village is spreading news?"

Yi Meng was about to speak when she saw Mu Yunniang coming over with a couple of cloths.

Meanwhile, Qu Laodi and Ai Zhaodi each carried a bowl of water over.

Once the mother and son cooled down and had some tea, Yi Meng began discussing what she just heard.
