The trap was set, but no one fell for it. When they returned and found the door still intact, Qin Xiaoxiao felt frustrated.

The thief wasn't caught, but Qin Xiaoxiao was kept entangled by Qin Yue.

"Sister, let's go up the mountain."

"The mother won't allow it."

"Sister, let's go hunt some birds."

"The mother won't allow it."

"Sis, let's go catch rabbits."

"The mother won't allow it."

"Sister, there's a cave in the back mountain. Let's go explore it."

"The mother won't allow it."

"Sis, the river is frozen, let's go catch fish."

"The mother won't allow it."

"Sister, Grandma Xu fell into a pit last night and broke her leg. I heard it was her daughter-in-law who did it. The two of them are fighting right now. Let's go take a look."

"Milk... that's a good option."

Finally, with one of her older sisters agreeing, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and happily went out with the snack box in her arms.

When they arrived at the Xu family's house, the area was surrounded by villagers. Qin Xiaoxiao spotted Aunt Liu and Aunt Song at a glance, and quickly grabbed two stools and pulled Qin Yue by the collar to squeeze through.

"How's it going? Are we too late?"

"Of course, it's almost over."

"What happened? Tell me about it."

"Then tell me more?"

"explain."

"Yeah, blah blah..."

Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue sat obediently on the bench, their hands supporting their chins, each holding a box in their arms. They listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise. Even the big show that had already broken out in the yard failed to attract their attention.

After Aunt Song gave a brief account of what had happened, Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue exclaimed in unison, "Ugh! That's disgusting!"

Su Lu, who was standing on the wall of a courtyard in the distance and saw this scene, couldn't help but chuckle.

This girl still loves watching plays. The New Year is coming soon, and she'll be a year older. I wonder if she'll still be like this next year?

"Brother Su Lu, what are you laughing at?"

The people inside had their heads smashed open like dogs' heads, and blood was everywhere. How could his brother still be in the mood to laugh?

Su Lu glanced at Qin Ergou, then his expression changed instantly. "It's nothing."

Qin Ergou couldn't help but shiver when he saw Su Lu's cold face.

What's wrong with him again? Or did someone offend him? Why are his eyes so cold? It's like he wants to devour someone.

Qin Erzhu blinked, looked uncertainly in Qin Xiaoxiao's direction, then looked at Su Lu, "Brother Su Lu, were you looking at Qin Zhiqing just now?"

Su Lu frowned. "Why would I look at her? Don't talk nonsense, it's not good if someone hears us."

Despite saying that, his gaze still involuntarily drifted towards Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Ergou and Qin Erzhu weren't stupid. Seeing this, they exchanged a glance and realized that Su Lu might be involved.

Qin Ergou and Qin Erzhu felt a little sad because Qin Xiaoxiao was also the girl they liked. Although they shared the same surname, they were actually distant relatives separated by many generations. If they really traced it, it would probably be more than ten generations. Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao could also marry them.

But now…

Both of them knew that there was no possibility between them and Qin Xiaoxiao. Not to mention that Qin Xiaoxiao was beautiful and her family was better off than theirs, Su Lu was also someone they couldn't compare to. If they really wanted to compete with them, they could only watch helplessly.

The farce quickly came to an end after Qin Feng, Luo Hongxing, and Su Zhiyuan arrived at the battlefield.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue, still feeling unsatisfied, carried their stools and boxes back to the educated youth compound under Qin Feng's stern glare.

Qin Xiaoxiao carefully opened the door, removed the rope from one end of the mechanism, and then pulled Qin Yue into the house.

"Sis, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback and glanced at her small kang (heated brick bed). "Maybe there's not enough room to sleep here?"

No, please don't. You should go home and sleep with your grandma. I can't sleep with anyone else.

Qin Yue clearly didn't understand what Qin Xiaoxiao meant, or if she did, she pretended not to.

"We're all thin, enough to sleep in. Don't you want me to sleep here, sister?"

Qin Yue's red horns flushed slightly as she looked pitifully at Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to tell her to go back to sleep. She could only nod with tears in her eyes.

Qin Yue clapped her hands and said, "Great! It's decided then. I'll sleep with my sister tonight. I'll go back and tell Grandma right away."

After saying that, Qin Yue hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.

Qin Xiaoxiao, on the verge of tears, withdrew Erkang's hand.

Can she say she regrets it?

That night, standing on the ground looking at Qin Yue, who was sleeping in a wild, spread-eagled position, Qin Xiaoxiao regretted it again.

She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted; now she doesn't even have a place to sleep.

After carefully tidying up Qin Yue, Qin Xiaoxiao had just lain down when a gust of wind brushed past her ear, and the next moment, one of Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes turned blue.

Qin Xiaoxiao, clutching her bruised eye, wanted nothing more than to pick up Qin Yue and give her a good beating, but she couldn't. Regardless of others, she couldn't bring herself to hit their daughter, even though her second uncle and aunt had been so good to her.

Qin Xiaoxiao squinted at Qin Yue's sleeping posture, thinking about how to teach her a lesson tomorrow, when Qin Yue suddenly pouted, as if chewing something, and her smile was as innocent and cute as a newborn baby, "Sister, it's delicious, you eat it."

Qin Yue was stunned and momentarily lost in thought.

Looking at Qin Yue, her breathing was steady, clearly indicating that she was in a deep sleep, which meant that she had just dreamed and dreamed about her.

After a long while, Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples and sighed, "Fine, I'll forgive you since you even dream about me."

After adjusting Qin Yue's sleeping position again, Qin Xiaoxiao lay down next to her.

In the middle of the night, Qin Xiaoxiao, who was just starting to feel sleepy, felt as if something had hit her stomach. The pain made her curl up involuntarily. Then she looked at Qin Yue and saw that her thigh was draped over Qin Xiaoxiao's stomach.

Qin Xiaoxiao was on the verge of tears. "Which deity has passed through this world? Please show your power and subdue this monster! I can't take it anymore if this continues!"

After giving herself ten minutes of mental preparation, Qin Xiaoxiao finally reached out and hugged Qin Yue tightly.

That's good, at least I won't get beaten up anymore.

As a result, Qin Xiaoxiao had just fallen asleep when she felt a heavy weight on her body, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it impossible for her to turn over.

The mountain had grown hands and feet, using all four limbs to tightly bind her, preventing her from moving even slightly, as the mountain would bind her even tighter.

Qin Xiaoxiao could only stop moving, but the mountain took advantage of the situation, tightening its grip until it wrapped around Qin Xiaoxiao's neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. Only then did Qin Xiaoxiao wake up.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even need to look to know who that mountain was.

She was quite puzzled. He had clearly been holding her while she slept, so why was it the other way around?

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to enter the spatial dimension, but she was afraid that Qin Yue would wake up halfway through, so she had to give up.

If I can't get into the space, then all I can do is... lie down and let you hug me.

I glanced at the alarm clock in the room.

Great, it's 3:20 in the morning. She only slept for two hours, and during those two hours she was constantly battling the mountain. She was exhausted.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Qin Yue rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to see her sister leaning against the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze, her eyes vacant.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

How did her sister suddenly become such a wilted little cabbage overnight? What kind of blow did she suffer?

Do you remember Er Gou and Er Zhu? The two who carried the sewing machine?
