Qin Li saw him staring at Chen Tan, and a chill ran down his body, colder than the sub-zero winter. "Get out!"

Qin Wuqiang was stunned by his ferocity and stood still, with panic and hatred in his eyes.

Humph, if it weren’t for the things in your house, I would have killed you long ago.

Seeing this, Qin Youtian hurriedly pulled his youngest son away and said, "Your fourth brother has brought the meat. Go to your aunt's house and call your mother back."

When he heard the word meat, Qin Wuqiang's saliva began to flow rapidly. He cursed Qin Li viciously in his heart before walking away slowly.

Qin Li glanced at his back, grabbed Chen Tan, and strode away.

After the two arrived home, Qin Qiuniang asked Qin Li to go back to the house and lie down, but Qin Li picked up the bucket to fetch water.

Chen Tan glared at him fiercely, "Brother, you don't think you are made of steel, do you? Then why not go to the mountains and hunt rabbits, eliminate pests for the people, and eat meat at the same time."

He was injured so badly the day before yesterday, but today he can go out and do heavy work. If Grandpa Xie knew about this, he would definitely be suspicious.

"Little girl, you're still controlling me," Qin Li was amused by her pretending to be fierce. The tips of his ears burned, and countless pink bubbles seemed to float out of his pores. "You've been wronged today, so I'll listen to you this time. When Wei Xiao comes, let him pick it."

"Stop talking nonsense and go back to the house."

Chen Tan pulled him into the house and watched him close his eyes before leaving.

Half a minute later, Wu Xia came running over, feeling very guilty about leaving. "Tan Nier, are you okay?"

"No, nothing happened," Chen Tan comforted her, "Auntie, have you forgotten? I know Kung Fu."

"You silly child, you are so sensible that it makes me feel distressed."

Wu Xia smiled and adjusted her hair. She had always dreamed of having a daughter, but unfortunately she only had a son.

If Tanier was born from her belly, she would definitely pamper her.

Chen Tan hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, you feel sorry for me, so please help me cook dinner."

Wei Xiao said yesterday that Song Che would come for dinner tonight.

She had to cook some good dishes for him.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you today, and you can help me tomorrow too."

The two went to the kitchen together, where Qin Qiuniang was cooking pig blood.

Wu Xia walked to the back of the stove to light the fire, and said that she would fry some sesame leaf fried dough sticks and fried dough twists tomorrow to entertain guests the day after tomorrow.

She wanted Chen Tan to help her for a day.

Chen Tan agreed without hesitation because Wu Xia was so nice to her.

When her family picks up their daughter-in-law, she will definitely go to help.

The three of them worked until dark and cooked a large table of dishes.

Wu Xia packed a few dishes and took them home for Wei Xiao's father to eat.

Not long after she left, Wei Xiao and Song Che arrived.

Also present were He Weihua and Fang Desheng's youngest son Fang Shiliang, the brigade secretary.

He is the militia battalion commander and security director of the Hongyao Brigade. He has a strong build and a well-proportioned appearance.

He is just like his father, ruthless and cold-blooded, and everyone in the team is afraid of him.

And he is also the heroine's third admirer.

She lives in the tea mountain farm most of the year, managing those who go to the countryside and also guarding the lady there.

There are more scenes in the later part.

Seeing him, Chen Tan finally understood why Song Che and He Weihua were able to leave the Chashan Farm so easily.

Fang Shiliang just nodded to Chen Tan without saying much, then followed Song Che and He Weihua into Qin Li's house.

Wei Xiao filled a basket with two ceramic jars of meat and vegetables and a large piece of fresh pork and sent them to the brigade headquarters for Xie Junqian.

As for his wife Liang Yujin, she had already been taken home and was having dinner with his parents.

When he came back, Chen Tan brought the warm food in the pot to the table.

Tonight, Qin Li sat alone at the top, while Song Che, Fang Shiliang, Wei Xiao and He Weihua sat on both sides.

Chen Tan and Qin Qiuniang sat opposite Qin Li.

While eating, several people talked about Qin Li's health and were curious about why he could recover so quickly?

Chen Tan pretended to be playful and said, "Is it fast? I feel like it's taking too long. I hope Big Brother can be fully recovered in an hour."

From what Song Che and the others heard, it meant that she didn't want Qin Li to get hurt and cared about him.

Several young men winked at Qin Li with wicked smiles on their faces.

Wei Xiao also took out some wine and poured a glass for each of them.

Qin Li was holding the wine, feeling a little dizzy. But when he saw Chen Tan's angry look forbidding him to drink, he put down the cup obediently.

This caused Wei Xiao and the other three to burst into laughter again.

The seven of them chatted and laughed, and the meal didn't end until half past eleven.

When Song Che, He Weihua and Fang Shiliang left, they took away the pig liver, pig stomach, pig intestines, pig feet and lard, and also carried away most of the meat.

This made Chen Tan stunned and puzzled. Why?

More than two hundred kilograms of meat, equivalent to two pigs from other people's families.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give it to them, but I just don’t understand why we should give them so much meat?

What is the relationship between Qin Li and the people on the farm, and why does he take such good care of them?

This feeling of confusion soon subsided.

She depends on Qin Li for her survival, so what right does she have to ask about his affairs?

Maybe someone paid for it?

But I didn’t see them weighing themselves or paying?

After everyone left, she cleaned up the kitchen without saying a word.

Qin Li helped her and couldn't help teasing her, but she responded indifferently.

It was completely different from the bold yet shy look she had when she took off his clothes during the day.

He finally noticed that something was wrong with her, but he also immediately guessed why she was angry.

He sighed secretly, it wasn't that he intended to hide it from her.

There are some things that cannot be told to her.

He took out twenty big unity notes and said, "Xiao Tan, this is the money Aunt Wu, Song Che, and Brother He paid for the meat. You raised the pig, so I'll give you half of the money."

Chen Tan looked at the money but didn't take it. Instead, he blinked his big eyes and asked him, "Brother, do I have to pay for the food?"

"Oh, haha, I'm being polite."

Qin Li didn't expect her to say that. He took the money back with a smile and raised his hand to rub her head again.

Chen Tan leaned back and took a few steps away, not letting him touch him, "I'm not a child."

After saying that, he picked up the hot water and used it to wash the brush.

"Bang!"

The sound of the door closing, neither light nor heavy, sounded like a silent protest from sandalwood to Qin Li.

He sat in the kitchen, looking at the dark roof and chuckled a few times, "Silly girl, you've got a bad temper."

The next day, Chen Tan prepared breakfast, helped Qin Qiuniang get up, and then went to Wei Xiao's house to help Wu Xia.

Ever since the Wei family became classified as the fifth category of people, the villagers hardly interacted with them.

Their former relatives no longer wanted to interact with them, and the family lived a miserable life.

Later, Wei Xiao's father had his legs broken by someone during a struggle session, and he almost died because he had no money for treatment.

It was Qin Qiuniang who lent them money to send them to the hospital and saved their lives.

Later, Qin Li took Wei Xiao with him, and their lives improved.

From then on, Wu Xia only interacted with people who had helped her family.

The Wei family's house is at the back of the village. The shape of their house is similar to that of the Qin family's, but there is one more room in the main house.

However, their house has no backyard and the roof is covered with thatch, which looks very shabby from a distance.
