Chapter 121 This person didn't come here just to have a good time, did they?
"That's no problem. Have him go with you to the place where the Tong family has been sent to the countryside. How long do you need to prepare? Is a month enough?"
"Alright, then I'll go to the countryside in a month." Fan Yaqing turned and left, inwardly cursing Zhang Shaojie for being stingy.
After leaving that door, she turned around and went back to the municipal government compound, still somewhat unwilling to give up, hoping to catch up with Zheng Yunqing.
Her plan was that if she could get married and register her marriage before going to the countryside, even if she signed up for the assignment, she wouldn't have to stay for too long before coming back. Besides, wasn't there still Wang Li waiting to take over?
As expected, perseverance paid off, and Fan Yaqing finally got to see Zheng Yunqing. That morning, as he went to work, Fan Yaqing saw him riding his bicycle from afar, hoping to make a lasting impression on him by bumping into Zhang Minghai.
Because of the hint from "Dong Wuyou", Zheng Yunqing asked his grandfather about the situation of the Han family in Jibei. His grandfather's face turned very ugly.
Grandpa Zheng told him to temporarily stop his black market business and stop running around, instead staying put at his workplace and home. This only further confirmed that his grandson had encountered a highly skilled person.
He didn't tell his grandson the specifics of those people, only saying that they were the kind of people families should avoid as much as possible. Especially the Han family; their actions were arrogant, and they were probably after those special fruits.
Zheng Yunqing was very careful when he went out, afraid that he would be kidnapped and interrogated about Dong Wuyou. As he was about to turn the corner, he noticed someone deliberately rushing towards him!
This guy was like a circus performer. When he got to the street corner, he suddenly lifted the front wheel, supported it with the rear wheel, turned the handlebars around, and did a big spin on the spot!
Fan Yaqing had originally planned to land right on the front wheel of his bicycle, but his sudden braking caused him to swerve, resulting in her missing her target and hitting the ground instead.
When Zheng Yunqing saw that it was this woman with ulterior motives, she immediately felt disheartened. Instead of asking her if she was hurt, she took several more meters back.
"Everyone saw it! She suddenly rushed out from over there and tripped on her own. I didn't touch her at all!" Zheng Yunqing said to several people who came out of the courtyard together.
"Yes, I saw it. Luckily, Xiao Zheng dodged quickly, otherwise he would have really bumped into it!"
"This girl, what's wrong with you? What's the rush? Why are you running so fast without even watching where you're going?"
Everyone knew Zheng Yunqing, and those who saw what happened rushed to testify for him. Fan Yaqing immediately looked aggrieved with tears in her eyes, as if she was in great pain and hurt: "Brother Zheng, it has nothing to do with you, it was my fault."
"Oh, that's all for me. I'm in a hurry to get to work, so I'm leaving now!" After saying that, she was about to take a detour.
"Brother Zheng, I... I want to ask you something..."
"Are you asking about Zhang Minghai? I really don't know. Why don't you ask his mother? Isn't she out now?" Zheng Yunqing knew how much Aunt Zhang disliked her, so she simply passed the person over to Aunt Zhang.
"Ouch, my knee hurts so much, Brother Zheng, could you take me to the hospital?" Fan Yaqing dared not see Zhang Minghai's mother; that old hag would surely grab her hair and beat her if she saw her!
"Sorry, I'm in a meeting at work, I really don't have time!" Zheng Yunqing got on his bike, circled around her in a large arc, and rode away without looking back.
Zhang Minghai's mother actually came out. It was the time of day when everyone was at work, so running into her was quite normal. Fan Yaqing didn't want to get into a fight with her, so she quickly endured the pain, got up, and limped away. She could still hear Zhang Minghai's mother cursing in the distance.
News of what had just happened quickly reached Old Master Zheng, who then hired two people to secretly protect his grandson. Since it wasn't anything particularly dangerous, the two men didn't show themselves.
So Grandpa Zheng started investigating Fan Yaqing again, only to find out she was a scheming woman trying to snag a rich husband, so he stopped paying attention to her. However, he discovered that the girl's family had some issues with the Li family's future granddaughter-in-law, so he made a phone call to give her a special reminder.
Most ancient martial arts families now live in seclusion, and their existence is tacitly approved by the authorities. As long as they do not harm the country, they are left alone, and they have their own rules.
The Han family of Jibei mentioned by Sun Tzu is indeed an ancient martial arts family, but their strength is only at the bottom. However, they have been quite active in recent years, with some disciples going out to train and taking advantage of the chaos to collect a lot of things.
The Han family didn't have a good reputation among the upper echelons. The sage his grandson had met seemed to be quite gentle. After taking the pills the sage gave him for three days, he noticed he felt more energetic and walked much more lightly than before.
He ate it for three consecutive days, then every five days, and after a month he discovered that his body functions were as healthy as someone in their forties or fifties. This truly surprised and delighted him!
Old Liu in the compound was on his deathbed, but recently he's been slowly getting better and is even able to get up and take walks on his own. He's back to his work, and when asked about it, he says he saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed a tonic soup that cured him.
Old Liu wasn't lying; he was indeed taking the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by Old Tong. He didn't want anyone to know about the pills because the ingredients were too rare, and he hadn't made many. If everyone came to ask him for them, he, an ordinary citizen, couldn't afford it.
When his grandson went to visit Old Li, he was much better. Since Old Li was younger than the two of them and had practiced martial arts, he was now full of energy and went to work! He said that he had been cured by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but he didn't mention the credit of his future granddaughter-in-law.
So he let his grandson hide for about a month. Seeing that there was no major commotion outside, he relaxed his vigilance, thinking that those people probably wouldn't bother ordinary people.
He also instructed his grandson that if the Han family came looking for him, he should say that the person was only trying to sell him something and knew nothing else. He advised the Han family not to harm his grandson, otherwise he wouldn't let it go easily!
The sage even gave his grandson some pills to cure men's ailments, shattering the grandson's illusions about the sage. Was this man just here to play around?
Seeing that she doesn't seem particularly concerned about making money, and considering that the things she brings out are not only delicious but also good for your health if you eat them regularly, then her pills must be quite effective. I can let my son try them; I don't need them myself anyway.
When Zheng Yunqing arrived at his workplace, a junior clerk next to the factory director was waiting for him and asked him to come over. He immediately grinned; the two pills given to him a couple of days ago must have worked!
A few days ago, he couldn't resist giving two pills each to several of his older colleagues in their forties whom he was on good terms with. He even mysteriously explained the pills' effects to them, letting them try them out.
