Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Can I still lack a few bites of food from them...

If I have the skills to make carts and open a shop, how much money can I make in a year?

When they make money, they will naturally get more private money. With money in her hands, she will be able to better support her brothers from her mother's side.

"What? Six hundred wen is not enough for you? Do you have to covet other people's things? If you look down on my son and think he doesn't earn enough, then go back to where you came from."

Qin Mu was not convinced. In Dali Village, his son earned 600 wen a month, which was already very high. Other men, who had no skills, went to the town to find work and worked very hard, but only earned about ten wen a day.

Qin Da's wife said that she felt sorry for Qin Da's hard work, but in fact she just wanted Qin Da to earn more money so that she could have more money to support her parents' family.

"You fool, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? You say others are blood-sucking leeches, but those flies from your mother's family who can't get enough food are the blood-sucking leeches. When the eldest brother married you, it was like marrying your entire family. Over the years, how many times have your brothers come to our house to ask for money, and how much have they taken away? In the end, you still say that our Qin family is bad and that we are stingy and miserly. You don't say anything about your family members who are shameless and only suck the blood of your in-laws, but you have the nerve to say something about others. Do you have any shame? You alone have brought shame to everyone in our Qin family. Our Qin family is so unlucky to have married you..."

Aunt Qin has a good temper and speaks gently. At least that's what Xu Yunfan, who has had contact with Aunt Qin several times, thinks.

But this time, Aunt Qin's actions were a bit fierce!

He spoke such a long paragraph without even taking a breath, which made Qin's wife blush. In front of so many people, she couldn't even lift her head and ran back to her room crying.

I guess I'll have to skip dinner tonight.

Should!

I'll let you scold me this afternoon.

Serves you right!

Xu Yunfan appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he felt very happy.

Xu Yunfan said angrily, "Auntie, you don't have to be like this. It's all our fault. We are relatives and should pay attention to boundaries. Over the years, you have indeed helped Xiao Qin's family a lot. I was spoiled at home and can't stand being scolded. I feel uncomfortable holding back some things. If I say them out loud, I'm afraid you will think I'm being hypocritical. It's just a few harmless remarks."

Xu Yunfan paused for a moment, "But I'm a grown man, and someone called me a blood sucker. She even rolled her eyes at me. I have to have some dignity. I just got here, and people who don't know me might think I'm a lazy slob. This reputation will make it hard for me to live like this in the future!"

Uncle Qin glanced at Xu Yunfan and thought secretly, this kid Xu Yunfan is not someone who can suffer a loss. It seems that Qin's wife said something unpleasant today, and this kid still remembers it.

Qin Mu said, "Xu Xiaozi, you are right. My wife here is ignorant. Don't worry, I will teach her a lesson and make her change. Don't take it to heart. The Qin family has been very kind to our family. Usually, we can help them, but it is just a small favor. Run'er and An'er have also helped us. You just said that the Qin family really doesn't owe us anything. We are all from the same village. When we can lend a hand, we should help each other."

Qin Er and Qin San lowered their heads and said nothing. How could they not understand what Qin Da's wife was planning?

Over the years, her family members have come to ask for money many times, and the family has not been divided, so don’t they have a share of the things they take?

For the sake of family harmony, they turned a blind eye and let it go. But she took their tolerance for granted. Now, what's wrong with lending some fine rice to her savior?

Is she going to make such a fuss over such a small matter?

If this gets out, who will dare to be friends with them in the future?

Qin Er thought so and said so, "Because of my sister-in-law, our family's reputation has been ruined. Uncle, I can't tolerate this. If you can't persuade my sister-in-law, then call my brother back!"

Qin San was quite resentful. "That's right, Second Uncle, we are all one family. Although my eldest brother and Second Uncle earn more money, we are the ones who manage the dozens of acres of land at home, and we have never complained. Before, my eldest sister-in-law's eldest brother came to our house to take back a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes. I tried to stop him, but he said that his brother-in-law earns a lot of money and uses the money he hands over to support us. Can't he, the eldest uncle, take advantage of it?"

"Every time during the holidays, the gifts my eldest sister-in-law brings back to her parents' home are always better than those given by my second sister-in-law and my husband. We tolerated the fact that my eldest sister-in-law's family came to ask for money, but now she's targeting Xu Yunfan. If word gets out, our whole family will be labeled ungrateful, while she's taking advantage of everything. I feel uncomfortable."

Qin Mu looked up at his two nephews who had always been honest and loyal, and sighed helplessly.

Honest people also have tempers. They can endure, but now they can no longer endure it. Their bottom line has been touched, so they will naturally explode.

Seeing the sun setting completely, Xu Yunfan handed over the basket, not wanting to listen to the Qin family's family affairs. "Auntie, uncle, I borrowed this from you a while ago..."

Before Xu Yunfan could finish his words, Uncle Qin became unhappy. "What do you mean, kid? What's going on in your family? Can we really do without your rice and oil? Take these back. Farming is busy recently, so you and Run'er and the others should also take good care of themselves."

Xu Yunfan: "We still have some at home, uncle. We went to town this morning and happened to run into a store that was restocking. These candles are said to be new, low-quality goods, very cheap, so Run'er and I bought some extra. Your family will be busy shelling corn tonight, so you can light them."

"No, that won't work. Candles are expensive. We can't accept them." Aunt Qin quickly refused.

Uncle Qin heard Xu Yunfan say that he bought a lot and said, "Take it, but we can't take it for free. Wait for me, I'll get the money for you."

"Uncle, you're being too distant. These candles are all substandard. To put it bluntly, they're just unsold and sold at a low price. Run'er and I bought a lot. What's wrong with giving you some?"

Xu Yunfan continued, "What I said just now may not be pleasant to the ear, but I know how kind you are. If you're paying for this little thing, then shouldn't I also pay you for things you give me in the future? Sister-in-law Qin is one thing, but it's true that I felt uncomfortable hearing what she said. Was I being irritated by the matter, not the person, or did Uncle think I went too far and got mad at me?"

Uncle Qin laughed twice. "How could that be possible? This craft can't be passed down so easily. I know you're not feeling well, so I'll take these candles."

He understood clearly that if he didn't accept these things, according to Xu Yunfan, he was angry.

"That's pretty good." Xu Yunfan nodded with satisfaction like a leader.

Uncle Qin: “…”

This brat.

Before leaving, Xu Yunfan slapped his head and turned around and said, "Auntie, Second Brother, Third Brother, Dadan and the others are having dinner at my house tonight and won't be back. You guys can eat by yourselves!"

Qin San stood up and said, "How can these little brats eat in your house? I'll go and bring them back."

Hearing this, Xu Yunfan pretended to be unhappy. "Third brother, I don't like what you said. What's wrong with them having a meal at my house? Can my family really do without them? I went to town to buy rice this morning. How much can three children eat? Who are you looking down on?"

Qin Er and Qin San: "..."

So, they were wrong. They didn't let Dadan eat at Xu Yunfan's house, but they looked down on him?

Qin Mu could tell that Xu Yunfan had said that on purpose. "Forget it, let them eat there. I'll pick them up later."

Xu Yunfan nodded in satisfaction again, patting Qin Mu's shoulder like a good friend, "Uncle Qin Mu is really sensible. I'm leaving now, and I won't stay for dinner."

Aunt Qin and others: "..."

This person is quite self-indulgent.

It seemed like they had talked so much, but they hadn't mentioned asking people to stay for dinner? He was quite good at handling things, and after saying that, the relationship became much closer.

When Xu Yunfan went back with the basket, he quickened his pace. There was no other way, as it was already dark.

In the dim light, not far ahead on the road, Xu Yunfan saw two figures, one big and one small. The two black figures were too far away to be clearly seen. He could only see that the big one seemed to be holding something in his hand.

The small figure seemed to notice his gaze and turned around, and then he saw that the big figure also turned around.

Xu Yunfan paused, his throat moving. He turned his head and looked around, wanting to pick up a piece of wood from the side of the road and swing it over, until he saw a large figure waving at him and shouting, "Who is it? Why are you standing there?"

When Xu Yunfan heard the sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ​​looking for a wooden stick. He ran over quickly and only realized when he got closer that it was a woman and a child.

He had never seen the person before and didn't know who the other person was. "Who is your aunt?"

The other party glanced him up and down and smiled with satisfaction, "I am from Qin Sen's family. You can call me Qin Sanniang. That's what Run Ge'er calls me."

Xu Yunfan readily followed suit and called out, "Qin Sanniang, it's so late, where are you going?"

Qin Sanniang put down the basket in her hand and said, "My youngest son went up the mountain to collect firewood today and came back with some wild fruits. There were quite a lot of them. I wanted to bring some over for you to try. They are all mountain products and are not worth much. Please don't despise them."

Xu Yunfan saw that Qin Sanniang brought a lot of wild fruits, including unripe wild grapes, hairy kiwis, a bag of mountain hay wrapped in grass leaves, and several other wild fruits, filling a full basket.

"You're welcome. These are all good things. These wild grapes are not big, and it's not easy to pick so many. How can I have the nerve to take them?" Xu Yunfan said, but his eyes could not move away from the wild grapes.

Qin Sanniang laughed a few times. "They are just some wild fruits. If you like them, take them. You can pick more after you finish eating them. Run'er knows where to find wild grapes. He knows the situation on this mountain best, except for the hunters who live halfway up the mountain."
