Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 244: It Might Not Be Good

Knowing that the little girl didn’t touch the unknown medicinal residue with her bare hands, Yi Meng felt truly relieved.

After praising the little girl, Yi Meng then said to Wang Daya, "Sister-in-law, you still need to be cautious about this matter. I’ll have Brother Jin look into it later to see what exactly is going on with the Chen Family. You should also remind Dalang not to fall for any schemes."

Though the Qi Family isn’t extremely wealthy now, they are still at the top in Yongping Village.

Yi Meng didn’t want to think too badly of people, but reality had taught her that if she wasn’t a little wary, she might end up being pushed to fend off wolves again someday.

She had her space and the spiritual spring water, which could influence animal behavior, but she had no way to deter the complexities of human nature.

At this moment, Wang Daya’s face turned pale: "Alright, I’ll, I’ll go find Dalang right away."

As a mother, Wang Daya naturally worried about her son’s marriage.

Yet she wasn’t the type to hastily choose a daughter-in-law for her son just to become a mother-in-law sooner.

Indeed, if it turned out like Manbao said, and the Chen Family’s girl wasn’t good, then if her Dalang was deceived and married her, the whole family would be miserable.

"Okay, sister-in-law, go call Dalang back, but don’t say anything about this, just say..."

Yi Meng paused and looked at her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Qi immediately understood and chimed in, "Just say I need him for some work."

"Got it!"

Wang Daya couldn’t sit still anymore. As soon as she got up, she dashed out.

Yi Meng then turned to Ai Zhaodi: "Fourth sister-in-law, I need to trouble you for something."

"Fourth sister, just tell me what you need."

Ai Zhaodi’s son Qi Shilang was only a few years old, so there was no concern about any girls taking a fancy to him at the moment.

But since she was part of the Qi Family, if they indeed brought home an undesirable daughter-in-law, she wouldn’t have an easy time either. So she agreed readily.

Yi Meng asked Ai Zhaodi to invite two doctors over.

Regarding the medicinal residue issue, it was necessary to have professionals analyze it.

Ai Zhaodi immediately went to the front yard to find the two doctors.

Qu Laodi smacked her lips and muttered, "Wow, the Chen Family really aimed high, didn’t they? Set their sights on our Dalang just like that."

After a pause, Qu Laodi added, "The Chen Family’s daughter, I think her name is Chen Xiaomei, right? Is she fifteen this year?"

Mu Yunniang, who hadn’t said much, suddenly spoke up, "Just turned fifteen this year."

"If she’s no good, it doesn’t matter how old she is."

Mrs. Qi’s expression wasn’t too good at this moment either.

The grandson’s marriage, especially the eldest grandson’s, was something she cared deeply about!

The families they had considered for the eldest grandson before had conditions less favorable than the Qi Family’s, but the girls were good.

Mrs. Qi had thought of marrying one into the family and cutting ties with the in-laws, just like she had with her sons’ wives. With no burdensome families, it was quite well.

But if it’s someone from the same village, even if the ties are cut, there would still be connections.

So her preferred choice for a granddaughter-in-law had always been someone from another village.

Now, Yi Meng didn’t know what else to say.

Since she got pregnant, she hadn’t paid much attention to the village affairs, and it was mostly Qi Quanjin, afraid she’d be bored, who voluntarily brought them up.

Now, it seemed that the village population was getting increasingly complex, and if family members didn’t keep an eye out and be cautious, relying solely on Qi Quanjin to manage everything wouldn’t suffice.

Thinking of this gave Yi Meng a bit of a headache.

She wondered if having Second Brother assist Brother Jin would work out.

Qi Ercai was the sharpest mind in the family, but he wasn’t skilled in managing household affairs, so the role of village chief fell upon Qi Quanjin.

Now there were many family matters, and Qi Ercai had plenty on his plate. During Qi Quanjin’s recent trips to the town, Qi Ercai rarely accompanied him.

Switching to someone else...

Yi Meng glanced at Mrs. Qi but held her words.

Mrs. Qi noticed and raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to say, Fourth Daughter-in-law?"

"Nothing much."

Yi Meng smiled and said, "Mother, I was just wondering what Old Lump has been busy with these days."

Qi Quanyin and Qi Quanli were not dull.

However, Fifth Brother Qi Quanyin had a more mischievous nature, often inciting Old Lump Qi Quanli to take action.

This nature wasn’t necessarily bad, but it certainly wasn’t suitable for assisting Qi Quanjin.

Looking at it from this angle, only the youngest brother, Qi Quanli, was left.

Mrs. Qi didn’t immediately grasp why Yi Meng mentioned Old Lump, but she replied, "He’s been up the mountain helping with building the school, why?"

"Oh, nothing, just thinking that Brother Jin has so much on his hands with village matters, I’m concerned he might not manage alone, so I thought Old Lump could tag along with Brother Jin."

Yi Meng smiled and said, "Mother, you know what Old Lump is like, always so lively. But he’s nearly twenty, and if he keeps being so impulsive, it won’t do, so tagging along with Brother Jin might temper his temperament."

This suggestion might hit the heart of Mrs. Qi’s concerns.

That younger son gave her more headaches than even her eldest grandson.

"That’s a good idea! Once everyone’s back tonight, I’ll have your father finalize it!"

Mrs. Qi immediately made the decision.

Yi Meng acknowledged with a hum, saying no more.

Qu Laodi and Mu Yunniang exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.

The two doctors were the first to arrive.

However, being men, and not traveling during famine, naturally, they shouldn’t sit too close to the Qi Family women.

Qu Laodi and Mu Yunniang moved chairs out to place them on the shaded side of the window.

Yi Meng didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "Gentlemen, just now Manbao mentioned that the Chen Family in the village secretly dealt with a lot of medicinal residues. Do either of you know what illness those residues are meant to treat?"

"This..."

Qin Minglang looked embarrassed and glanced at Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng glared at him, scolding, "Answer when asked, why glance at me?"

After speaking, Yin Cheng then said to Yi Meng, "After Manbao mentioned it, I had Shilang get some medicinal residues. I and this old fool checked them, and those medicines..."

At this point, Yin Cheng also stopped.

Typically aloof, Yin Cheng’s face now showed an unspeakable complexity.

It was Qin Minglang who sighed and picked up the conversation, "We checked, and the prescription was meant for some... some venereal diseases."

Towards the end, Qin Minglang lowered his voice significantly: "But neither of us wrote that prescription, so it’s hard to determine what illness the Chen Family members might have."

"But if that prescription was accurate for the symptoms, then the Chen Family’s situation probably isn’t good."

This statement changed the faces of everyone present.

Yi Meng hastily asked, "Not good in what way? Could it be contagious?"
