Chapter 57 The Convenience Store Owner x The Blind Nouveau Riche Who Has Regained His Sight

The three of them remained silent throughout the meal. This was the first time they had ever had such an atmosphere since coming to the provincial capital.

"Could you let me see the memories of emotions from the previous small world?"

Tuotuo: "Sure, but you'll have to wait a bit. It's sealed away, and decoding takes time."

Li Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, I won't watch it."

Tuotuo looked at her with confusion, then finally clicked "Cancel".

Sometimes she dreams that a man treats her with utmost care and affection, but she can never see his face.

When Li Jiaojiao went to the public bathhouse to take a shower, Shen Mingrong called out to Xiao Liu.

Did Jiaojiao tell you that she called back to the village? Who did she call?

Shen Mingrong was afraid that she was calling Xu Gaoshan in the village.

"Sister Jiao Jiao didn't say," Xiao Liu shook his head without hesitation.

Shen Mingrong replied calmly, "Understood."

Aunt Honghua in the village had already opened the door to the Shen family's house.

She and her sisters saw several dead rats as soon as they opened the door.

"Oh my god, so many dead rats!"

Aunt Honghua used an iron shovel to shovel the dead rats outside and pile them up.

"Safflower, take this home to make fertilizer," said an old woman who had just finished her farm work, passing by. "Don't waste it."

They often did this, killing the water rats in the fields and using them as fertilizer.

Aunt Honghua pointed at the dead rats: "It's not dark yet, look carefully, or they'll ferment and kill people."

The others then looked closely and realized that the rats had clearly been poisoned.

Poison that can kill rats is not cheap, so villagers prefer to use the traditional method of suffocating rats with smoke.

It's outrageous that someone would spend money to buy medicine to poison these beasts.

Aunt Honghua searched through the Shen family's house for a while and found dead rats only in the yard and on the second-floor balcony.

These dead rats were neither near the rice bin in the kitchen nor near the hole in the toilet wall.

This wasn't thrown in by someone; it must have been poisoned by rats in the Shen family's house.

Aunt Honghua became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, so she led her sisters to search around again to see if there were any obvious poisons or the like.

She sent someone to summon the village chief, whose name was Jin Youde.

Finding dead rats thrown into someone's home or suspected poisoning are no small matters.

Moreover, it was the Shen family who ran a small shop.

Most villagers didn't know, but the village chief and other village officials were well aware of the importance of the Shen family's small shop.

Without this small shop, Shen Mingrong would never have brought his underlings to find low-priced goods.

Besides sourcing goods, Shen Mingrong has extensive connections and many avenues.

If any factory needs to hire people, Shen Mingrong will introduce people from Xiahe Village to them.

Jin Youde had heard that the hardware factory in the neighboring Heping Village was able to be built because of Shen Mingrong's introduction.

Thinking about it makes him regret it so much he wants to slap his forehead.

Last year, Shen Mingrong asked him how much it would cost to rent out wasteland.

Jin Youde quoted the normal price, but after hearing that it wasn't villagers using the wasteland, he refused to lower the price no matter what.

Shen Mingrong then went to see the village secretary of the neighboring Heping Village. The secretary was a college student and had a good relationship with Shen Mingrong.

Upon hearing that a factory was to be built, the village secretary of Heping Village practically offered to rent the land for free.

And so the factory was established once the site was chosen, and many city leaders praised the Heping Village Committee.

At these times, Kim Yoo-deok would smile on the outside but cry on the inside.

When Aunt Honghua saw him arrive, she immediately yelled in her loud voice, "Village Chief! Someone has poisoned the Shen family's house!"

"Stop yelling, everyone in the neighborhood heard you," Jin Youde said as he walked in, frowning.

Seeing the mountain of rat carcasses outside made him even more agitated.

"Can't we just have a peaceful day all day long?"

Aunt Honghua has known him for decades and isn't intimidated by him at all: "There's nothing I can do; there are bad people among the people."

Kim Yoo-deok rolled his eyes.

He shone the flashlight on every corner, leaving no blind spot unchecked.

"There was no poison," Jin Youde said, turning off his flashlight. "No one poisoned it. You fooled me again."

Aunt Honghua disagreed: "Who said no one poisoned the rats? Poisoning rats that died from eating poison counts as poisoning!"

After the farm work was finished, the villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.

There were many, many older people, three or four layers deep.

Aunt Shen, who had been keeping an eye on things at the convenience store, arrived very early.

She was observing from the innermost level.

The host wasn't present today, so Jin Youde couldn't say anything.

"Alright, alright, bury these dead rats. We'll talk about it when Shen Mingrong and the others get back."

Aunt Honghua exclaimed anxiously, "By the time they come back, all the rats will be bones!"

"What else can we do? Are you their relative or their parents?" Jin Youde winked at her.

Even if a verdict is handed down now, it's pointless to argue about it.

Upon hearing the word "relative," Aunt Shen immediately jumped in: "I'm a relative of this family, and I support what the village chief said. We have to wait for the person involved to return before we can say anything."

She was secretly laughing to herself as she spoke.

When Shen Ajiao and the others come back, there won't be any trace left. Let's see what you have to say then.

Aunt Honghua had no choice but to suppress her urge to catch the rats and find a place to bury them.

"Heh, no one noticed her this time," Aunt Shen said with a smile, watching her bury the rat with an ambiguous expression.

The next morning, Li Jiaojiao took Shen Mingrong's eye diagnosis report to the doctor.

"Doctor, this says there's a high probability of recovery, but what are the possible long-term effects?"

The doctor, with a full head of white hair, said, "She will be nearsighted, but it's not certain yet whether she will develop high myopia."

Li Jiaojiao: "It would be better if he got glasses. Would he recover faster in the hospital or at home taking his medicine on time?"

The doctor looked at her with suspicion: "You're from out of town, right?"

"Yes, from Shuangyan City."

The doctor looked at the diagnosis and thought for a moment: "If it's not a financial issue, I still recommend treatment in the hospital."

“Okay, then let’s stay in the hospital,” Li Jiaojiao quickly decided.

The doctor gave her a bill for long-term hospitalization.

She paid the bill as soon as she received it, and even prepaid 2,000 yuan without any hesitation.

When I returned to the ward, Xiao Liu had just come back from buying breakfast.

"Xiao Liu, come here, I need to talk to you."

After eating and drinking her fill, Li Jiaojiao finally revealed her plan.

"You already know what the doctor said," Li Jiaojiao said to Shen Mingrong, "so you need to stay in the hospital for treatment."

Shen Mingrong guessed what she didn't say: "You're leaving?"

"We're leaving tomorrow. I'll go buy the tickets in a bit," Li Jiaojiao said decisively. "We've already paid the hospital fees and even pre-deposited two thousand."

Now he has no choice but to seek treatment.

Shen Mingrong's mood plummeted.

Li Jiaojiao realized: "Xiao Liu will stay here with you." She had just asked Xiao Liu.

Who cares if he accompanies him? Shen Mingrong remained silent.

Li Jiaojiao didn't expect him to express his opinion; if he didn't speak, she would take it as a tacit agreement.

"These are hospital cafeteria vouchers; you'll need them to buy meals later."

She left the meal tickets with Xiao Liu.
