On the other side, Qi Hao felt aggrieved at his brother’s reprimand and contempt. He felt that he hadn’t done anything wrong – he just gave away that bag of rice of unknown origin.
What was there for his brother to be angry about?
When he first received the rice, he didn’t take it seriously. It just so happened that Lu Chengfu had come to his house again, so he got Lu Chengfu to help him deal with it.
Qi Hao felt very wronged and called Wang Xuewen, Jian Chongying, and the others to tell them everything.
On the other end, Jian Chongying consoled him, but Wang Xuewen, that rascal, riled him up even more. “Isn’t it just a bag of rice? You can just go to the supermarket and buy a few more bags to send home. Ninth Master Qi definitely won’t scold you then.”
“Besides, what’s there to fuss about over a bag of rice? If your family needs it, I’ll buy two or three hundred bags from the supermarket tomorrow for your family!” Wang Xuewen continued.
“Get lost, what kind of brother are you?” Although Qi Hao said that, Wang Xuewen’s words were very much to his liking, and he felt more and more wronged.
It was just a bag of rice. He could just go to the supermarket to buy more.
Qi Hao was a man of action. He immediately went to the largest supermarket in the capital to buy rice, and bought one to two hundred bags. This move stunned many of the Qi family, including Old Master Qi.
That night, when the old man questioned him, Qi Hao said that he felt wronged, and tactfully relayed the matter to the old man to judge.
Besides Zhenbai, that grandson, Old Master Qi still liked Qi Hao a lot. This kid was also the only child of the second branch, so when he heard this, Grandpa Qi said, “Don’t worry, when Zhenbai comes back, Grandpa will judge the matter for you!”
Qi Hao was still terrified of his eldest cousin brother, Qi Zhenbai, and said weakly, “Grandpa, you can just lecture my brother a bit! Isn’t it just a bag of rice? I bought him hundreds of bags of rice today! I’ll give them all to my brother!”
The more Qi Hao spoke, the more confident he became.
Old Master Qi’s mouth twitched at the thought that this kid had taken up all the space in their warehouse. He told the kid not to stock anymore as there was no more space. He waved his hand and promised the kid that he would definitely lecture Zhenbai on his behalf.
Although Qi Hao felt a little guilty, his eyes lit up. “Thank you, Grandpa!”
When Qi Zhenbai and his wife returned to the apartment that day, Qi Zhenbai didn’t go to the Qi family’s old residence immediately, so he didn’t know about Qi Hao, that rascal, storing up rice and complaining.
When they returned to the apartment, Qi Zhenbai’s anger showed no signs of abating. Chi Shuyan saw that the man was gloomy on the entire trip. When they arrived in the capital, his face was even darker.
She was very worried that if she let this man go back now, Qi Hao, that rascal, would lose a few pounds of flesh. So, she advised the man to wait a few days to calm down before going back.
If it were anyone else, Qi Zhenbai wouldn’t have listened. He had a very aggressive nature, and even after he got together with his wife, she was still the only person he cared about.
Qi Zhenbai’s heart was indeed on fire. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He went out several times to go to the old residence to settle scores with that rascal, but was dragged back by his woman. In the end, he went to take a shower to quell his anger.
In the evening, Chi Shuyan cooked spirit rice. She didn’t think much of it, but there wasn’t much else to eat at home. In the end, who knew if the man had been provoked by the fragrance of the spirit rice, but he didn’t even eat dinner as he drove straight back to the old residence to settle accounts.
Chi Shuyan was just about to sell some spirit rice on Taobao. Of course, the effect of this spirit rice couldn’t be too heaven-defying. She planned to dilute it a few more times; even diluted, it would definitely be beneficial to the body if eaten over a long period of time. It was tens of thousands of times better than those health supplements on the market.
Chi Shuyan diluted some spirit rice that night and put it up for sale in her online shop. The price of spirit rice enhanced with spiritual energy was naturally extraordinary.
