Ni Cuihua is drenched in sweat.
Mo Qishen rolls up his sleeves, revealing a robust and powerful wrist, approaches Ni Cuihua, “Auntie, let me do it.”
Ni Cuihua paused for a moment, then smiled, “No need, you’re our guest. We can’t have you do this.”
Mo Qishen said, “It’s fine Auntie, I needed some exercise anyway.” Without waiting for Cuihua to respond, he grabs the pestle from her and starts pounding.
The strength of a man was far greater than that of a woman; the bulky wooden pestle seemed weightless in Mo Qishen’s hands.
It seems that having a man in the house does have its advantages.
Ni Cuihua watches the young man before her, a satisfied expression in her eyes, “Yangyang, you stay here and chat with Xiaomo, I’ll go check on Yunyun.” “Alright, Mum, you go.” Ni Yang nods in agreement.
Mo Qishen looks up at Ni Yang, “Yangyang, what are you using this mashed aloe for?”
Ni Yang responds, “For skincare products.”
“Skincare products?” Mo Qishen pondered for a moment, then continued, “So do you do this every day?”
Ni Yang nods, “Almost.”
“Sounds exhausting. Manual labor like this isn’t suited for a girl like you,” Mo Qishen added, “Have you ever considered buying a blender? It could mash up all these aloes directly.”
Ni Yang, of course, had thought about this before.
Currently, the market for aloe vera gel and facial cleanser was booming. Fresh aloe juice was needed almost every day. If she continued to manually mash the aloes, it would not only drain her physical strength but also waste time.
However, because technology at this time was not well-developed, many advanced machines needed to be imported from abroad. Imported products were not only expensive but also scarce. Typically, customers had to pre-order from the seller.
Moreover, the inconvenient transportation and poor economy significantly restricted the circulation of goods. It was not easy for ordinary people to purchase everyday goods.
Even for Ni Yang, she had yet to find a way to buy a blender.
Mo Qishen seemed to understand Ni Yang’s predicament. He then said, “I happen to have a friend who deals with these imported machines. I can ask him for you.”
“Really?” Ni Yang looked up in surprise, a flicker of joy in her eyes.
“Yes.” Mo Qishen nodded, “Why would I lie to you?”
“Thankyou so much, Brother Mo!” Ni Yang said, if indeed Mo Qishen could help her find a solution, it would be a massive help for her.
Mo Qishen laughed and replied, “It’s just a matter of a phone call. No need to thank me.”
Mo Qishen pounded the aloe non-stop without appearing to get tired. Even after a long period, there wasn’t a single drop of sweat on his forehead. Ni Yang tried to take over but was refused by Mo Qishen. He couldn’t possibly stand by while a frail girl did such heavy work.
His hands grip the wooden pestle. Due to his excessive force, the veins on the back of his hands stood out. His hands were well-proportioned and muscular, any hand fetishist’s dream.
In a short while, the aloe was pounded into a thick paste.
Ni Yang began to laugh, “Brother Mo, that’s enough.”
That’s enough?
Mo Qishen looked stunned.
He thought he was supposed to continue until nightfall!
If he had known this, he would have pounded slower.
Mo Qishen puts down the pestle, “Are you sure this is enough?”
“Yes,” Ni Yang nods, “It’s enough, thank you for your hard work today, Brother Mo.”
Mo Qishen smiles, saying, “It wasn’t tiring at all, consider it my daily workout.”
It was already in the afternoon. After resting at the Ni Family residence for a bit, Mo Qishen decided to take his leave.
Ni Yang said, “It’s already late, why don’t you stay for dinner, Brother Mo?”
Despite his desire to stay, Mo Qishen refused diplomatically.
How could he impose himself on a family he had visited for only the second time?
What if he left a frivolous impression on Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua?
He wanted to be perceived as a well-mannered young man.
Mo Qishen was also a pragmatic person. On his way home, he stopped by the village’s local store and bought some cigarettes and candies.
These items altogether cost him 50 yuan, which made the store owner grin from ear to ear!
Fifty yuan!
Normally, it would take him ten days to sell this much.
This young man was incredibly generous, like the God of Wealth reincarnated! “Young man, you seem unfamiliar. Are you related to someone in the village?” the store owner asked.
“Old man, I’m a friend of Ni Yang.”
The store owner nods his head, “Oh, you’re a friend of Yangyang. Wait a minute, young man.”
With a puzzled expression, Mo Qishen pauses.
The store owner grabbed a handful of candies and shoved them into Mo Qishen’s hands, “Yangyang is a good girl who has been very helpful to all of us.”
If he had known earlier that this young man was a friend of Ni Yang, he would have given him a discount.
After leaving the store, if Mo Qishen saw a man, he would offer a cigarette. If he encountered a woman or a child, he would give out candies. All along the way, he gained praises from the villagers!
A few children recognized Mo Qishen, “Brother Mo, we remember you! Are you here to see Sister Ni Yang?”
Mo Qishen squats down and ruffles their hair, “I remember you too. You’re
Panghu, Xiao Hua, and Goudan, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Brother Mo, you’re so smart!”
Hence, besides the beautiful Sister Ni Yang, a handsome Brother Mo was added into the children’s hearts.
After Mo Hudie was out of danger, Mo Fuhai and Madam Mo finally found some time to visit Li Xianxian in the hospital.
However, the elderly couple didn’t manage to see Li Xianxian. They only saw
the police officers standing guard outside the ICU ward.
Li Xianxian was in critical condition due to her deep wounds.
Mo Fuhai approaches one of the officers, “Officer, how is the investigation into the ‘Divine Doctor of Jiangnan’ going? Our Xiaodie had no grievance with him.
He couldn’t possibly harm Xiaodie without a reason – there must be someone behind all of this!”
