To show off her accurate predictions, Hongi imdiately called Little Juan out from the kitchen to watch Wang Xiaoqiang eat noodles.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang gulp and devour the egg hand-pulled noodles she made made Little Juan very happy, because it proved her noodles were delicious. However, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's way of eating was sowhat strange, she thought, even if the noodles are that tasty, soone with big ambitions shouldn't eat like a slob, right?!
Originally, Little Juan didn't believe Hongi, but now, she sowhat does.
Logically speaking, if he was the big boss of an international company, he'd be extrely mindful of his image outside. But Wang Xiaoqiang hasn't been a boss for many years, and besides, he wasn't eating noodles outside, but at ho in front of his parents, so there's no need to worry about image. He's completely relaxed, eating however he pleases.
"Slow down, Qiangzi, no one's going to steal from you. You're grown up but still eat like a child, hehe..." Watching her son eat, his mother pretended to scold him but was visibly delighted.
"Tsk, don't listen to your mom. Eat however you want, this eating manner is just like mine, makes happy to see it. Eat, eat... if it's not enough, have Little Juan make more..." Wang Kuishan was even more pleased,
For many years, they hadn't seen their son eat like this. As his business grew, his social standing increased, he had been missing for more than a decade, and they felt him drifting further away, barely able to see him. Now he's back, eating like he used to, resembling his younger self, filling Wang Kuishan with joy, satisfaction, and comfort...
After eating, Wang Xiaoqiang pushed his bowl and chopsticks aside, belched, and said, "Really delicious."
His mother said, "Have another bowl."
"No, I'll co back for more tomorrow." Wang Xiaoqiang patted his belly, really full.
Little Juan quickly went back indoors to clear the table, then returned to the kitchen with Hongi. Once inside, Hongi, with her eyebrows dancing and a face full of disdain, said, "Hey, now do you believe ? Look at this second son of the Wang Family, looks like a starving ghost. If it weren't for his concern for image, he'd probably ask for another bowl..."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Little Juan said sternly. "We're here to be their maids, not to gossip. If they hear us, we might lose our jobs."
"Tsk, that's a big world out there; plenty of places to work. Besides, what's being a maid? I can do it anywhere," Hongi said with disdain.
"What you say is true, but can you bear to leave here?" Little Juan retorted.
Hongi was montarily speechless, showing so embarrassnt. Indeed, she couldn't bear to leave. Wang Dali's salary offer was more than double that for maids in the city, and being a maid in the city wasn't easy. City folks often give attitude, unlike the amiable Two Elders of the Wang Family.
"Tsk, so what if he hears? We were hired by Boss Wang, not this starving ghost. Hmph, is he going to fire ..." Hongi snorted with an unabashed attitude.
Little Juan didn't dare to continue, afraid of getting into trouble. She knew Hongi was proud and lofty, never content with just being a maid. Last ti Wang Dali ca back, she was overly attentive despite knowing he was married, trying to cling to him. But this wasn't rare; girls nowadays do anything for money.
Actually, these two girls' conversation couldn't escape Wang Xiaoqiang's ears. Wang Xiaoqiang, at the Nirvana State of a Strong Physical Body Cultivator, had far superior hearing. Not only could he hear them whispering in the kitchen, but he could hear them from outside the village too.
Despite Hongi's harsh words, Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't stoop to her level. Beyond his status on Earth, his immortal disposition wouldn't allow him to quibble with a mortal girl.
A dog bites a man, does the man bite the dog back?
With a faint smile, Wang Xiaoqiang brushed off Hongi's words, and seeing no outsiders in the hall, he took out the Immortal Pill and placed it in front of his parents, "Dad, Mom, look at what this is?"
Wang Kuishan hurried to find his glasses, put on reading glasses, carefully examined the Immortal Pill, and said, "Qiangzi, this looks like a pill, similar to the one your private doctor, Master Taiyi, brought last ti."
His mother took one in hand, felt its round smoothness, and joked, "It looks like a glass bead, Little Qiang, is it edible?"
Wang Xiaoqiang took an Immortal Pill, popped it into his mouth, swallowed it, tried one, and seeing no issues, said to his parents, "Mom, of course, it's edible. This is actually dicine prepared by my private doctor... specially brought back for you. It can increase longevity..."
The Wang Kuishan couple, though over seventy years old and not afraid of death, still cherished life. Now that life was good, with grandchildren all promising, they hoped to see great-grandchildren before departing. Hearing this, they showed signs of delight, "Can it really increase longevity? Is this for real?"
"Dad, Mom, would I lie to you?" Wang Xiaoqiang replied.
"Shall we take it now?" The couple stared at the Immortal Pill with bright eyes. The pill was not only as smooth as jade but also had an enticing aroma that aroused a desire to swallow it at first sight.
"Go ahead, but don't take too much. Just take two each," Wang Xiaoqiang gave each of his parents two, then put the rest away, "I'll keep the rest for you and give you more after a while."
"Haha, that's great." They both laughed in unison, put the two Immortal Pills into their mouths, and swallowed them.
As soon as the Immortal Pill entered the stomach, a warm sensation spread through the body, and the usual discomforts seed to improve greatly,
Mother's stomach had always been bad, bloated and burping after als, and tonight was no exception. When the pill's power reached her stomach, she felt the fullness vanish, the effect was remarkably swift,
Wang Kuishan, having caught a chill from a night under the air conditioner, had aching legs whenever exposed to wind. He had just sat under the air conditioner with his son and felt uncomfortable again, but when the pill's power reached his legs, they felt much lighter and pain-free.
"Haha, this dicine is really good. After taking it, my legs stopped hurting imdiately,"
"My stomach isn't bloated anymore either, Qiangzi, what kind of dicine is this? How can it be so effective?"
Both were overjoyed.
Wang Xiaoqiang naturally couldn't say it was an Immortal Pill, only ntioning, "Dad, Mom, this is a high-tech health product. Not only can it prolong life, but it can also treat illnesses. Made from purely natural ingredients, with no toxic side effects. You can take it with peace of mind..."
"Haha, so wonderful. Qiangzi, can I have another one?" Wang Kuishan asked eagerly, wanting more.
"Dad, you can't take too many at a ti. Even overeating can be harmful, let alone dicine."
"Uh, right, right." Wang Kuishan agreed.
"You old codger, getting addicted to dicine. Honestly," his mother glanced at his father and then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Alright, Qiangzi, you've been back for a while and haven't visited your wife at ho yet, better head back..."
"Dad, Mom, alright then, I'll co see you again tomorrow, you two get so rest...," Wang Xiaoqiang said, heading toward the door.
"Hey, we'll stay in the cool for a bit before bed. It's too warm." The couple saw their son out. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote and support on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.)
