Chapter 207: There’s A Ghost Following Me!!
When the airplane took off, Ge Peiyao was also rescued by the doctor.
Because her head had suffered severe trauma, she needed to be transferred to the intensive care unit for observation for three days first, and only after being out of danger could she be moved to a regular hospital room.
While Jiang Lixuan was paying the fees, he encountered an embarrassing situation; the money he had on him was not enough to cover the surgery fees and hospitalization fees.
These days, the company at home had been in turmoil, with stocks plummeting, shareholders withdrawing investments one after another, and Party A terminating contracts with them due to public opinion impact and seeking compensation for reputational damage, thus incurring a lot of debt.
Jiang Lixuan had at least enjoyed the company’s dividends before, so to help repay the debt, he sold the studio, and now he only had over a hundred thousand left on him…
And this over a hundred thousand was only enough to cover the cost of one craniotomy, with no way to afford the subsequent hospitalization and recovery fees.
Not to mention, when Ge Peiyao was admitted, he habitually had the doctor use the highest-specification medicine…
Facing the puzzled gaze of the nurse at the payment counter, Jiang Lixuan’s face flushed red, full of embarrassment as he called Jiang Hengzhi, somewhat hesitant to speak: “Second Brother, I… I don’t have enough money to pay the fees, do you, do you have any on hand?”
Jiang Hengzhi was silent for a few seconds, then said: “You come up and watch Mom, I’ll go pay the fees.”
Jiang Lixuan closed his eyes and hoarsely agreed.
When he arrived at the intensive care unit, Ge Peiyao, who the doctor had said might not wake up until evening, woke up at this moment.
Ge Peiyao, wearing an oxygen mask, blinked hard, as if trying to stay awake; she opened her mouth and closed it again, lifting her trembling hand toward Jiang Lixuan, as if wanting to say something.
Jiang Lixuan quickly called the doctor over, and with the doctor’s permission, put on sterilized protective clothing and went in, holding her hand as he asked: “Mom, don’t worry, take your time, I’m listening.”
Ge Peiyao gripped his arm tightly in return, her eyes wide open, her voice faint and intermittent: “Go… go to Shangjing… your dad… took Xin Xin… went to Shangjing… Yuanman…”
Before she could finish speaking, the instruments in the hospital room emitted sharp and urgent beeping sounds, and the doctor quickly ushered Jiang Lixuan out to perform first aid on Ge Peiyao.
When Jiang Hengzhi returned after paying, he saw the busy medical staff in the intensive care room, his expression changing slightly as he grabbed Jiang Lixuan and asked: “What’s going on?”
Jiang Lixuan looked grim: “Mom told me that man took Xin Xin to Shangjing, he probably went to find Yuanman!”
“No way!” Jiang Lixuan gritted his teeth: “I can’t let him disturb Yuanman, Second Brother, you call Big Brother and them, leave Mom to you guys, I’ll go to Shangjing to stop him!”
Yuanman had finally started a peaceful and happy life, and he absolutely could not let that man ruin it!
–
Nan Yuanman was completely unaware of the Jiang family’s affairs, and after comfortably spending a week at Feng Family Manor.
Nan Yuanman was holding the exclusive little shovel Feng Congqian made for her, trotting happily after Butler Sister to open up a plot of land exclusively for her in the manor.
Back in Batang Village, she also had her own exclusive vegetable patch! But after Grandpa got sick, she had no time to tend it, and the land went to waste.
Now with such a large plot of land and no worry about what to eat every day, she had time to grow vegetables so that Uncle and the brothers could all taste the small cabbage she grew!
After Butler Su marked out a plot for Nan Yuanman, she squatted down to meet her eye level, asking gently: “Miss, do you need me to arrange someone to help you? The gardeners in the manor are quite skilled at planting.”
“No need, Su Sister, I can do it myself, I have little helpers too!” Nan Yuanman waved her little hand, rejecting Butler Su’s offer.
Butler Su was curious but respected Nan Yuanman’s decision: “Alright, call me if you need anything, Miss.”
“Mm-hmm!” Nan Yuanman nodded her little head, habitually glancing at Butler Su’s facial physiognomy, her gaze pausing slightly on her parents palace, then saying: “Su Sister, I’ll have Uncle Feng give you time off, go home and see your uncle and aunt.”
Butler Su was slightly stunned, instinctively saying: “No need, Miss, I…”
“You haven’t gone back to see your uncle and aunt in half a year, right? Go on! I’ll tell Uncle Feng for you!” Nan Yuanman pattered forward and gently pushed Butler Su.
Butler Su was dazedly pushed out, and only when she returned to the living room did she suddenly react.
How did Miss know she hadn’t been home for half a year?
Feng Congqian came out from the bar counter holding coffee, raising his eyebrow slightly upon seeing her: “Butler Su? What’s wrong?”
“Mister.” Butler Su spoke respectfully yet awkwardly: “Miss said to give me time off so I can go see my parents…”
Feng Congqian’s heart stirred, and he nodded slightly: “I understand, go home this afternoon, I’ll give you three days of paid leave, come back to work after three days.”
“Alright, thank you, Mister.” Butler Su felt a slight relief in her chest.
Butler Su’s real name was Su Hanxiang; she was not a local from Shangjing, but a northerner who drifted to A City.
Her education and qualifications were impressive, but in Shangjing, they weren’t her advantages; she had done many jobs, and by a twist of fate entered the butler industry, defeating many competitors to become the Feng family butler.
To better fulfill her duties, she went home only once a year, sometimes not at all, using the time off from the main family to study and train.
Calculating it, her last visit home was the year before last, indeed over half a year without going back, so this was a good chance.
Moreover…
For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
Before leaving, Butler Su still handed over all manor affairs and told them to contact her if there were unsolvable issues, then booked a plane ticket to go back.
At that time, Nan Yuanman was already holding a little hoe, sticking out her little buttocks to turn the soil, along with Xiao Cao and Zhuang Zhuang turning the soil together.
As well as the burned to death ghost she had dragged out to work.
Yue Yaxin wasn’t skilled at planting and didn’t stay to cause trouble for Nan Yuanman, but floated around the manor, planning to see if Feng Junhao’s soul body was there.
Old Master Nan was digesting the merit Nan Yuanman had forcibly given him these past two days and had no time to help out.
Nan Yuanman muttered under her breath, her little hands busy nonstop: “First turn the soil over, break the clods into fine pieces, then pile them into rows…”
Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao dutifully followed behind her buttocks, breaking the clods she turned up.
Nan Yuanman was always very focused when doing things, and since the plot Butler Su gave her wasn’t large, she finished turning it quickly.
Nan Yuanman took out the vegetable seeds Butler Su had prepared for her, and just as she was about to sow them, she remembered that fertilizer needed to be applied after turning the soil.
She had seen aunts in the village take fermented farm manure from the latrine and pour it in, but she forgot whether it was before or after sowing seeds.
However, there didn’t seem to be a latrine in this manor…
Nan Yuanman frowned her steamed bun face while holding the seeds, pondering where to get farm manure, when Feng Jingcheng had just woken up and came to the garden to find her, yawning.
At a glance, he saw a dirty little dumpling that looked like it had rolled in the mud.
He laughed helplessly: “Little dirty bun, did you roll in the mud?”
“Sixth Brother!” Nan Yuanman’s eyes lit up, and she pattered over to tug his hand: “Come with me, I need your help with something!”
Feng Jingcheng felt delighted inside; look, when his little sister had trouble, she came to him first, completely ignoring those stinky men!
Before he could ask what Nan Yuanman needed help with, he saw her point at the turned soil and say expectantly: “Can you pee here?”
Feng Jingcheng: “??”
“Huh??”
Feng Jingcheng’s smile froze on his face: “Here… pee?”
“Yeah, I remember Grandpa often peed in the vegetable patch after planting, saying it fertilized the veggies, and I don’t need to pee right now, so I came to you!” Nan Yuanman looked at him eagerly: “Can you?”
Feng Jingcheng’s mouth twitched, and before he could speak, Xiao Qidong’s wailing voice rang out: “Sister Yuanman! Save me, Sister Yuanman!”
Xiao Qidong had dark circles under his eyes and came running madly toward Nan Yuanman: “There’s a ghost! A ghost is following me!!”
