Chapter 49 Don’t abuse a child
Jiang Cui ignored him and kept crying no matter how Zheng Guang beat and scolded her. Her son was still inside and must have been burned to death. She was finished now. If Sheng Wanqiu came to ask for him tomorrow, how would she explain?

"Cry, cry, cry, just cry. If it weren't for you, bitch, my house wouldn't have caught fire!"

"My son is still in there, shouldn't I cry?" Jiang Cui couldn't help but push away Zheng Guang who was still pulling her hair, and yelled at him.

"Okay! It seems that your son was the one who set the fire in my house. He deserves to be burned to death! You bitch, you dare to yell at me, I will beat you to death today!"

Zheng Guang waved his fists and punched and kicked Jiang Cui. The two of them wrestled with each other. The surrounding villagers couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they stepped forward to stop them and asked the two to first check if there was anything left in the pile of burnt ruins. After all, real gold and silver are not afraid of fire.

After being reminded by the villagers, the two men stopped and began to dig up the rubble seriously.

"Big sister, where are we going?"

Sheng Huaimu woke up from the bumpy ride of the donkey cart. When he opened his eyes and saw his elder sister, he burst into tears.

He had felt like he was going to die before, and he seemed to see his father waving at him.

Sheng Wanqiu comforted him for a long time, and after touching his little head and feeling that the heat on his forehead had subsided, she felt much more relieved.

"I'm going to send you to an old man's house to stay for a few days. I'll come to pick you up in three days. You have to take good care of yourself now. You are a patient now!" Sheng Wanqiu explained to him.

"Yes! I'll listen to my elder sister." Sheng Huaimu stretched out his little hand and tightly grasped the hem of Sheng Wanqiu's clothes. He now only believed his elder sister and no one else. This lesson made him deeply realize that human hearts are unpredictable, and he cannot even trust his own mother.

"My dear, you came at the right time. Take a look at this packet of seeds. Is it what you need?"

"I got it through connections, take a look!"

As soon as Sheng Wanqiu brought Sheng Huaimu into Xinglin Medical Clinic, Ding Dali came up to greet them with a smile. He was still thinking about the thank-you gift that Sheng Wanqiu mentioned last time.

"Old man, this is my brother. Please help him first. He seems to have a fever."

Sheng Wanqiu took her brother's hand and asked him to sit on a chair, and asked Ding Dali to take his pulse.

Sheng Huaimu rolled up his sleeves, and Ding Dali saw the wound on his arm. He looked at Sheng Wanqiu with a puzzled look. Could it be that this girl liked to abuse her younger brother?

"Little old man, what's with that look in your eyes? This is my own brother, how can I abuse him?"

"Hurry up and take a good look at my brother. If he needs any medicine, just prescribe the best one!"

Sheng Wanqiu noticed Ding Dali's questioning look and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"Your brother is fine. The injuries on his body are just superficial. He will be fine in a few days. He doesn't need to take any medicine!" Ding Dali knew that the child was fine after taking his pulse.

"It's like this, old man. I have some housework to deal with now. Can my brother stay with you for a few days?"

"I'll pick him up in three days. Your reward will be a pair of fresh deer antlers."

Sheng Wanqiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, then handed the decision to Ding Dali.

"That's no big deal. Of course, no problem. I promise to take good care of your brother." Ding Dali's face was full of smiles and he immediately agreed. This little brat could eat as much as he wanted. He only needed to stay for three days and get a pair of deer antlers. What a good deal!

"By the way, young man, take a look at these seeds. Can you use them?" Ding Dali handed a bulging cloth bag to Sheng Wanqiu.

When Sheng Wanqiu opened it, she saw that there were about seven or eight types that she recognized or not. It seemed that this old man had a very wide range of knowledge.

Because she saw strawberry seeds and cherry seeds in the pile of seeds, and she didn't recognize the others.

"How much silver are these worth? I'll give you the silver first. I don't know what they are either. You'll know what they are only after you grow them." Sheng Wanqiu packed the small cloth packages into her small bamboo basket.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter what the money is. When the time comes, just show me what rare things you can grow. Hehe!"

Ding Dali smiled very servilely. He couldn't just ask her for a favor. After all, she had just promised him a pair of fresh deer antlers. Where would he put his face if he asked her for something again?

"Thank you very much. When I grow something good, I will give it to you first." Sheng Wanqiu did not hesitate. After accepting the things, she gave Sheng Huaimu a few instructions, then carried the small bamboo basket out of the clinic and drove back to Qingshan Village.

When I passed by Songhe Restaurant, I saw a long line at the door. I was wondering what new product Songhe Restaurant had launched? It was so popular.

Little did people know that it was because of the braised pork recipe she provided that the chef of Songhe Restaurant put in real effort to make the braised meat so delicious that the restaurant was always packed every day.

All kinds of meat dishes can be braised, and they are never enough to sell out every day. Shopkeeper Jiang’s face is about to burst with laughter.

When Sheng Wanqiu returned to Qingshan Village, she went straight to the new house. The new house was almost built and would be completed in about two days.

This time, she used bamboo to build the courtyard wall. She didn't like the airtight earth wall. She chose the thin and dense small bamboo, which had been carefully selected for her by the bamboo craftsman. When they were planted and took root, they would grow thicker, and the bamboo wall would become more solid and tight.

Bai Xiaolian came back from the river after washing clothes and saw Sheng Wanqiu coming back with a donkey cart. Her eyes were darting around. She had passed by Sheng Wanqiu's new house more than once. Every time she saw the newly built big house, she felt extremely jealous.

Why does this rude and impolite girl live so well, while she has to live in the same room with her mother?

Her brother was really useless. He had told her a long time ago to keep an eye on Sheng Wanqiu and try to make her change her mind. That way, maybe she could live in such a big house.

It's a pity that her brother is useless. He has not made any progress until now. He just studies hard. He is simply a nerd and is of no use at all.

When Sheng Wanqiu returned home, she told everything to Mrs. Sheng and told her about her plan.

"I'll support you no matter what you do. Oh, go get your aunt too. She's very strong and can beat two people at once!"

Sheng Wanqiu was at a loss for words. Her grandmother knew that she was going to blackmail someone, and not only did she not intend to stop her, she also wanted to bring the tough Sheng Chunhua along. She couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Jiang Cui.

"Is Huaimu safe with your friend?" Mrs. Sheng finally remembered that she had a grandson.

"It's safe. My friend is a good person. Don't worry!"

Anyway, she felt that the old man Ding Dali was fine except that he was a little greedy for money, and he would not abuse a child.
