Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"That's how it is." Liu Zhanggui set the watermelon aside, lit another cigarette, and smoked away to himself: "A few days ago, didn't you tell Da Zhi, Chai Mi, to go check on his mother……"

Liu Zhanggui sighed as he spoke: "After that, Da Zhi went. Following what you said, he took his mother to the hospital for an examination, and the result was cancer."

Chai Mi fell silent.

Song Qiushui, however, wore a melon-eating expression: "Holy cow! Village Chief, you've got such blessings…… promotion, wealth, wife dies……"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chai Mi tugged on Song Qiushui.

Not all words can be joked about.

Seeing Chai Mi's face look bad, Song Qiushui pouted her mouth and didn't continue speaking.

Liu Zhanggui didn't mind either; after all, everyone knows that Song Qiushui's mental state isn't too good……

As Sanjiacun's Spiritual Little Sister, Song Qiushui is renowned far and wide; who hears Song Qiushui's great name and doesn't say: "Long admired, long admired!"

If Chai Mi weren't present, Liu Zhanggui would probably be dragged by Song Qiushui into calling her Eldest Sister……

"It's fine, words don't spoil anything." Liu Zhanggui's tone was calm: "Caught early, the examination said it was benign, still early stage. Half a day's trip, go to the Provincial Hospital for a thorough re-examination, do a surgery, and it'll be fine."

Liu Zhanggui's wife Xue Haiyan indeed had a benign tumor, discovered early.

But Liu Zhanggui attributed all this merit to Chai Mi's head; if not for Chai Mi's reminder, perhaps Xue Haiyan would still know nothing even now. A few more months until discovery, and perhaps it would be late stage; then it would be beyond saving.

One can say, Liu Zhanggui feels his ex-wife's life was saved by Chai Mi.

Although she's an ex-wife, she is still the son's birth mother after all.

The saying goes: one day as husband and wife, a hundred days of grace……

Now Liu Zhanggui is old; he's long past the years when he messed around on his own, plus his son can't get married, pressing him until he has no way out.

He's been constantly trying to arrange a remarriage, but Xue Haiyan is ten thousand percent unwilling.

Now Xue Haiyan is sick; his son Liu Zhijing went a few times, and in a few days Liu Zhijing will accompany his mother to the provincial capital for treatment.

The relationship between Liu Zhanggui and his ex-wife has also eased to a certain extent.

No matter how you put it, one sentence from Chai Mi saved his ex-wife's life.

Whether it was an unintentional remark or an intentional one.

Liu Zhanggui owes Chai Mi a huge debt of gratitude.

"Chai Mi, when Da Zhi's mother finishes the surgery, I'll arrange a meal for you."

"Not going." Chai Mi refused directly: "I'm not running around randomly. Skip the meal; as long as my aunt is fine, that's enough. Don't do those polite formalities; our family's messy troubles bother you every day, and I haven't even treated you to a meal."

Unrepayable favors are the greatest favors.

Chai Mi isn't stupid enough to let Liu Zhanggui write off this matter with a single meal.

Let Liu Zhanggui owe her a personal debt first; if there's a chance later, speak again.

"That's so embarrassing……" Liu Zhanggui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Chai Mi, if you won't go, I'll go in your place. Village Chief, let's hit a restaurant…… I have no other hobbies; I just scheme to eat one Manchu-Han Imperial Feast in my lifetime. What stewed fish lips with bear's paw, rice-wine orangutan lips, pig brain, fake leopard fetus, steamed camel hump, pear slices with steamed civet fruit, steamed deer tail, wild chicken slice soup, wind pig slices……"

Liu Zhanggui's face turned green listening: "Qiu Shui…… can you name a few that aren't in the Wildlife Protection Law? This one table of yours, our whole village would be implicated and sent to Ningguta as exiles; all are enough for a prison sentence."

"I didn't say eat panda, what are you panicking for?!"
