Chapter 103 Be Careful
The horse didn't take it seriously at all, just stomped its hooves a few times and grinned in disdain.
Qin Jin'an couldn't stop smiling; she was so happy.
“Little sister, Uncle Jiang came today. He did what you asked for, so I gave him the money.”
Zhao and Qin were talking about Qin Tianjiang.
Qin was somewhat surprised, but quickly calmed down and said with a faint smile, "I hope he can really change."
After all, there won't be a next time.
If even this can't get him to quit gambling, then he's beyond saving.
Qin Shi didn't feel bad about the fifty taels; if it could help her precious baby get better, she felt it was all worth it.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, Qin paid the wages.
When Qin Tianjiang arrived, he saw that the Qin family was busy, so he waited quietly to the side without disturbing them.
After everyone had left, Qin Tianjiang stepped forward and said politely, "Yu Wan, it was Yu Bao who said she wanted to see me."
He took the money back, which put Ling and her daughters at ease. After washing up, Ling was willing to talk to him again. He then went to the village's barefoot doctor to have his wounds bandaged before returning.
He looked at Qin with gratitude and respect, because six fingers couldn't be exchanged for fifty taels anywhere else, not even by the wealthy Su family. Only here could he save his family with his six fingers.
“Yu Bao is my savior. I will work hard to save money and return these fifty taels to you as soon as possible.”
Qin Tianjiang understood deeply that he couldn't take the money for nothing. He had to be a decent man. That bad habit was like the finger he had cut off. He couldn't be like before. He had to live a decent life and be a pillar of support for his wife and daughter.
"Uncle Jiang, come with me."
Madam Qin glanced at Qin Tianjiang and sensed that he was different. Madam Qin didn't say anything more, but simply turned and led the way.
Qin Tianjiang followed.
Upon entering the house, Qin Tianjiang saw Qin Jin'an.
He instinctively tried to kneel down, but Madam Qin stopped him, saying, "Uncle Jiang, you mustn't. Yu Bao is a junior."
"Grandpa Jiang, do you know what your future will be like if you don't do this?"
Qin Jin'an looked at Qin Tianjiang.
Qin Tianjiang's eyes reddened, and he nodded.
He didn't know before, but now he does. He saw his wife and daughter's determination to die, and he knows everything.
"You cut off six fingers, giving your future a glimmer of hope. But that glimmer of hope will change depending on your choices. Whether it grows stronger or fades away is entirely up to you. If you fall back into depravity, the remaining fifty years of your life will be God's punishment for you."
Qin Jin'an looked at Qin Tianjiang and spoke. People are inherently flawed. She had saved five lives, and those five lives were now tied to Qin Tianjiang.
Although it is very painful, this is the truth. Qin Tianjiang and Ling Shi have a lifelong marriage bond that can only be broken by death.
Therefore, Qin Jin'an cast a curse on him.
Qin Tianjiang shuddered, feeling the pain intensify at the severed finger. He shook his head repeatedly, sweating profusely, and said, "I will never gamble again. I don't want to lose them. I want to protect them and not let them be bullied."
He had lived such a long life; he dared not imagine what the torment of living would be like after losing everything.
"If you are determined, you will have a warm and happy family."
Qin Jin'an continued.
Fate is ever-changing, and this is Qin Tianjiang's fate.
Gambling led to the loss of his wife and daughter.
He reformed himself, lived a simple and peaceful life, and was respected and loved by his wife and daughters.
He was everything to his family; they all revolved around him and were inseparable from him.
"Thank you, Yu Bao. I will definitely take good care of my home."
Qin Tianjiang smiled and spoke gratefully through his tears.
Qin Tianjiang turned and left, and Qin Shi followed him out to see him off.
"Yu Wan, the Su family hates you and Yu Bao to the bone. You must be careful."
Qin Tianjiang thought of Su Changsheng and Su Changshui, and he gave Qin Yuwan a word of advice.
Madam Qin nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, Uncle Jiang. I know."
Qin Tianjiang turned and left to go home.
Everyone in the clan knew about Qin Tianjiang's affair, and every household repeatedly warned their children and grandchildren that gambling was absolutely forbidden.
Every Qin family girl who works at home is exceptionally diligent and skillful.
With the addition of dried meat, business gradually recovered, even better than before.
August 15th arrived quickly.
Qin Jin'an is now able to get out of bed.
She ate the 'August melon' that Qin Yulin had picked from the mountains, spitting out the seeds little by little into the distance.
Everyone is preparing food at home today.
"Fish Baby, you've been eating for half an hour, and you're still not finished."
Qin Yulin moved a stool next to Qin Jin'an; he could eat a whole one in one bite.
Qin Jin'an looked around guiltily, then whispered, "Uncle, keep your voice down. Grandpa is asleep. Don't wake him up."
Everything is fine, except that recognizing characters is too difficult.
After she was able to get out of bed, she had to learn to write and recognize characters every day, which caused her a lot of distress.
The white-haired creature lay at her feet, gnawing on a bone that had already shrunk to almost nothing.
Qin Jin'an sighed: "Bai Diandian can already read, but I can't. Uncle, am I stupid?"
Who would have thought that the puppy would learn the words she hadn't even learned yet?
God knows how shocked she was when she heard the puppy barking.
To others it sounded like "woof woof woof," but to her it sounded like "come, come, come..."
And that character is '来' (lái).
"Uh, how could that be? Yu Bao is the best, the most obedient, and the smartest. You just don't like studying, just like your uncle. Your uncle didn't like studying when he was a child either, but your uncle is good at farming."
Qin Yulin felt guilty and felt bad seeing Qin Jin'an so down. He immediately thought of a way to comfort him.
"Look at him, isn't Uncle a great worker? Isn't Uncle incredibly strong? Uncle is a born farmer... Ouch—"
Qin Yulin listed his own strengths as if they were his own treasures, but before he could finish, he felt a headache coming on.
He touched his head and turned around to see his mother glaring at him fiercely.
“Is this how you teach a child? Yu Bao, don’t listen to your uncle’s nonsense. Study hard, and Grandma believes you will be even more capable than your grandfather. You’ll be more knowledgeable and better than your grandfather by the time you’re old enough to read a lot of books.”
Zhang looked at Qin Jin'an and smiled kindly, her smile full of longing.
He looked at Qin Yulin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Qin Yulin scratched his head, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quietly walked away.
He was also frustrated. Yu Bao was so sensible and smart, so why did she have such difficulty recognizing words?
Thankfully, his mother woke him up. If Yu Bao had listened to her and hadn't studied properly, he would have regretted it later when he couldn't read. Yu Bao needs more encouragement now. It's okay if he has difficulty recognizing words; as long as he doesn't give up, he will eventually remember them.
"Thank you, Grandma. I will try my best."
Qin Jin'an mustered her courage and regained her confidence. She simply couldn't face her grandmother's expectant eyes. She didn't want to disappoint her. It was just a few words, after all.
She, the lucky koi princess, can definitely do it!
