The reborn cute wife is a ghost

Chapter 16
After collecting the medicine, half a day had passed, Qiao Wan looked up at the sky that was gradually turning orange, and walked on the muddy ground to go home.

While walking, she couldn't help turning her head, the scene she saw just now echoed in her mind, that living soul always gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity, she felt familiar, but she couldn't tell who it was.

Seeing her frequently turning her head to look in the direction of the cave, Papa Qiao beat her up twice angrily, until the two of them returned home, and the sky outside the window was almost dusk.

The afterglow of the red clouds in the sky dissipated, and the twilight gradually enveloped the entire town.

The father and daughter had just entered the house before they knew that there were guests at home.

Mother Qiao came out of the kitchen in a hurry with a tea set, followed by Qiao Min, greeted them when she saw them.

"Father, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me?" Father Qiao put the medicine basket by the wall, rubbed his dark hands on his clothes, and went straight into the living room.

It was a family surnamed Li in the town who came to see Papa Qiao. This time, they came here because of a prescription in Papa Qiao's hand...

Back then, Papa Qiao was crippled with one leg because of theft in the city. After returning to the small town, in order to make a living, he bluffed and lied for a while. Relying on his knowledge of some medicine, he boasted that he had been a teacher in the city and got a piece of paper. The ancestral prescriptions cure diseases when they are sick, and strengthen the body when they are not, so they deceive some ignorant women and children to earn some money for cigarettes and alcohol.

In fact, his prescriptions are just some tonics. Although they can't kill people, they are definitely not as magical as he said. And Joe's luck has always been good. The medicine has been sold bowl after bowl, but there has never been any major accident. .

And this time the Li family came to visit for their youngest son. The boy surnamed Li was five years older than Qiao Wan. Nothing works.

What's even more bizarre recently is that since he went back to his room to rest three days ago, he hasn't been able to sleep.

When he went to the hospital, the doctor couldn't diagnose the reason, so he could only give him a drip, hanging his life, but seeing his vital signs getting weaker and weaker, the Li family couple couldn't sit still anymore, and turned around from other people. He heard about Papa Qiao's "miracle medicine", so he came to visit with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But on this end, as soon as the Li family explained their purpose, there was a loud noise at the door.

It turned out that it was Qiao Wan who had just taken the tea set from Qiao's mother. After hearing what they said, she let go of her hand, and with a "bang", she broke the only tea set in the house into two pieces.

Father Qiao yelled, turned his head to look at the shards of glass on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to come over and beat someone up.

That is the best set of cups in their house!

Qiao Wan was so frightened that he crawled behind Qiao's mother. Hearing Qiao's father's angry scolding, he was quite shocked.

She said that the living soul in the cave looked familiar, so he was the medicine pot surnamed Li!

Although it had been decades, Qiao Wan still had a fresh memory of this incident. It was Father Fang's prescription that drove their family to a desperate situation.

Qiao's mother defended her shortcomings and stopped Qiao's father from beating her: "It's alright, alright, my daughter knows she's wrong, isn't it just a set of cups? How much is it worth? Don't keep beating her."

Father Qiao took a deep breath and took it easy. In fact, he was still angry, but considering that there were guests present, he just gave her a look and waved for Mother Qiao to clean up the floor.

Qiao's mother found a broom, and then she was afraid that Qiao's father would see Qiao Wan for no reason again, so she beckoned to Qiao Li to take her into the kitchen.

"Father! Can't sell it!"

Qiao Guan passively let Qiaoli lead her away, but she refused to give up and yelled into the room.

Unexpectedly, her words were like a wick thrown into the pile of paper, and with a "bang", the anger that Dad Qiao had just calmed down began to rise again.

"Are you a girl who wants to be beaten?"

Seeing that Dad Qiao picked up a wooden stick and was about to swing it towards Qiao Wan, Mother Qiao quickly stopped her and said angrily: "Wanwan, don't say a few words, Ali, you won't be afraid of people if you take your sister away." Watch the joke."

The accompanying laughter of the Li family couple could be heard beside her ears, before Qiao Wan could open her mouth, she was dragged away by the second sister.

When she got to the kitchen, she still didn't give up, she clung to Qiao Li: "Second Sister, why don't you go and tell Abba, that recipe can't be sold."

Qiao Li turned around to wash the dishes and ignored her. She was so annoyed by her pestering, she turned her head and said angrily, "What's the matter with you? Don't worry about your lord's business. Do you want me to be beaten by Dad?"

The sound of "squeaking" water rang in her ears. Qiao Li wiped off the water stains on the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "What's wrong with you these two days? It's so strange."

Qiao Guan sat down on the bench with his head down, holding a straw in his hand and tore it into several sections in a state of distraught. Hearing what she said, he was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "If Dad's prescription is sold, Something big will happen."

Without looking back, Qiao Li asked, "What could happen?"

Qiao Guan lowered his head and said nothing, knowing that they wouldn't believe him, so he simply shut up.

She remembered very clearly that Dad Qiao did the same thing in his previous life, selling the prescription to the family surnamed Li, and just as he was complacent about the red envelope he just got, within a few days, the son of the Li family went there.

Ever since, the Li family was sad and blamed Qiao's father for all the faults. Not only did they send them a lawyer's letter, but they also spread the news that their family sold fake medicines everywhere in the town. Although the lawsuit was finally settled, But Joe's father's reputation was also bad. No one dared to accept his medicinal materials anymore. In addition, he was cheated out of a large sum at the end of the year. Their family's economy fell to the bottom for a long time.

Qiao Wan took a deep breath, isn't this a wave of unrest and another wave? !
In the living room, Mother Qiao cleaned up the broken glass on the floor, and made two cups of tea for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li again. It was not a good tea, it was rough in the mouth, and the taste was not pure, so the couple just took a sip and pushed it aside. , directly to the topic.

Father Qiao hesitated with his two thick eyebrows twisted. He also knew that his prescription was not a panacea.

Although this is the case, he can't tell the truth, what's the difference between picking up a brick and hitting his own foot?
However, Mrs. Li's wife knelt and kowtowed, talking nonsense, and unexpectedly took out a thick envelope from her purse. When she opened the bag, it was full of red bills.
