The year Qin Huai was reborn, the entire village was suffering from famine. In that year, a girl would follow you just for a steamed bun.
In that year, a large gold ring could only be exchang...
After they finished their meal, they realized that it was indeed getting late. Old Man Qin came over and said, "Miss Zhang, it's getting late. Why don't you stay at home tonight?"
Qin Huai listened to this and muttered to himself, what does the old-fashioned Qin mean? He actually let a strange girl stay overnight at his home. How inappropriate! He wanted to stop him, but Zhang Keyi quickly agreed and said, "Then I won't hesitate. Thank you, Grandpa Qin."
Now Qin Huai couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Old Man Qin said, "You're welcome. Qin Huai, you sleep with me tonight. Let Xiaoyun and Xiaomi sleep in your bed, and Miss Zhang sleep in Xiaomi's bed."
The old man was not confused and immediately made clear arrangements for accommodation.
Old-fashioned people pay great attention to the separation between men and women. Unmarried girls cannot sleep in a strange man's bed. Qin Huai understood what the old man meant as soon as he thought about it.
However, when Zhang Keyi heard about this arrangement, she was stunned for a moment and said nothing. Qin Huai thought to himself, "I didn't expect it, my grandfather is really thoughtful."
Of course, he had no objection. He washed up and went to Qin Lao Han's room. Qin Lao Han said, "She is a good girl. Don't do anything stupid."
"Oh." Qin Huai agreed and lay down. The old man tossed and turned over on the other side. After sleeping for a while, he suddenly said, "Go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow."
Two rooms away, Qin Huai could hear the two little girls whispering, and he could also hear Zhang Keyi tossing and turning in the innermost room.
Because of Maggie Cheung, the whole family, young and old, couldn't sleep well at night.
Qin Huai, the person involved, slept well.
The next morning, Qin Huai got up when the old man saw him. The old man said, "I'll go to the store first. You can sleep a little longer and go to the store early to check it out."
Qin Huai always felt that the old man seemed to have something on his mind. He slept for a while before getting up. He found that Qin Xiaoyun had already gotten up to cook. Qin Huai said to Qin Xiaoyun: "When Zhang Keyi wakes up later, tell her that I'm going to the store first. If she has anything, tell her to come to the store to find me."
When the day broke, he felt relieved.
"Okay, go ahead, brother."
The two little girls cook their own meals every day while studying, and then go to school after dinner, being self-reliant.
He was about to go to the store when he heard Maggie Cheung's voice from behind: "Qin Huai, wait for me."
It turned out that she had already gotten up, and only came out when she heard Qin Huai's voice saying that she was leaving.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Maggie Cheung said, "You all are up now. I feel embarrassed."
Qin Huai said, "Did you sleep well?"
Maggie Cheung nodded. She was too tired. She slept in the bed of the two little girls yesterday and fell asleep until dawn.
"Let's go, I'll give you something to eat on the way."
The two of them ate a few bites on the way, and Qin Huai said, "I'm going to the store first. Are you going to Brother Yu's house or somewhere else?"
"Let me go to the store with you first and say hello to Grandpa Qin."
After this time, she became confident again. The two of them walked into the store, but Qin Huai saw three people in the store who shouldn't have been there.
Foster mother Li Lan, old lady Li, and Li Laizi.
Li Lan and Old Lady Li were sitting in front of the counter eating melon seeds. Li Laizi moved a stool and sat in front of Qin Zhonglin, pointing and talking. Qin Zhonglin was sweeping here and there with a broom.
Qin Huai's face immediately fell. What happened?
He walked into the store and coughed. When Li Laizi saw him, he ran like a rabbit behind Old Lady Li and her husband. Li Lan and her mother continued eating melon seeds as if they didn't see him, without even glancing at him.
Old Man Qin moved a small stool to sit on the side, and then he slowly sat up. Qin Huai kicked the stool over and asked, "What's going on?"
Old Mrs. Li stood up and said with a smile, "Look how happy this child is. Qin Huai, don't worry about this store from now on. Your uncle is here. It's always a worry if your own family business is not looked after by your own people, right?"
"One of us?" Qin Huai ignored her and looked at Old Man Qin.
Old Man Qin said helplessly, "They came two days after you left, saying that you and they are family and they want to watch over you, otherwise you will be ripped off by outsiders."
Qin Huai said, "What family?"
Old Mrs. Li said, "Are you so happy you're silly? You are my daughter's son. My daughter is your mother, and I am your grandmother. My son is your uncle. Aren't we family?"
Qin Huai said: "I remember someone said that she was not my grandma and told me not to call her that."
"Lanzi, look at your son. His family is still holding a grudge. Boys need to be broad-minded. How can they achieve great things in the future? You really need to teach him a lesson in the future."
Qin Huai looked at Old Man Qin and said, "Has all the money in the store gone to them?"
Old Man Qin said, "The keys are all here with me."
"Why didn't I hear you talk about this last night?"
The old man glanced at Maggie Cheung, and Qin Huai said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Maggie Cheung is not an outsider, so there's no need to be embarrassed if she knows."
Maggie Cheung stood at the door of the store and did not come over. She clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Li Lan glared at Qin Huai fiercely.
Qin Huai said, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Li Lan said, "Is this how you talk to your elders? Now that you've grown strong enough to fly, you've forgotten how I raised you when you were little."
"Before I lose my temper, you'd better leave quickly."
Mrs. Li said, "My dear son, you can't be a heartless person. You have such a big business and you didn't tell your family. Don't you know whether your family can afford to eat?"
"What does your family's inability to make ends meet have to do with me?"
"What are you talking about? You live a life of luxury and don't care about your parents' hardship. In the past, you would have been struck by lightning. You don't know how serious it is. I, your grandmother, am here to tell you that you must have a conscience." Old Mrs. Li was very patient today and didn't quarrel with him.
"Mom, why are you wasting time talking to him? I'm saying this today. I'm not leaving here. What can you do to me?" Li Lan looked at Qin Huai with a gloomy face.
Qin Huai laughed and said, "That's great! I met a rogue today."
"You beast, who are you calling a scoundrel?"
Qin Huai sneered, "Fine, I have nothing to say to you." He strode towards Li Laizi, grabbed him, and slapped him twice. Li Laizi screamed in pain, "Mother, help me, help me!"
Old Mrs. Li screamed, "You beast, you dare to hit your uncle? This is unjust. I will not live any longer."
She ran over crying and kicked Qin Huai. Qin Huai grabbed Li Laizi to block him. The old lady hit her son several times and squatted on the ground and used traditional moves.
Whenever she cursed Qin Huai, she would slap Li Laizi, and while doing so, she would not forget to say to Maggie Cheung, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Maggie Cheung said, "Qin Huai, don't let anyone get killed."
"Don't worry, no one will be killed. At most, they will be disabled. If these people don't leave today, I will keep beating them."
