Chapter 109 Reclaiming the Su Family
"But I'm afraid my mother will cry. What should I do if she cries?"
Qin Jin'an sighed. Her mother had worked so hard, sacrificing everything for her. She knew it was a den of wolves, and she did everything she could to keep her and protect her.
But if she said she wanted to go back to the Su family, she didn't dare to imagine how sad and worried her mother would be.
Qin Jin'an felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
"Yu Bao, aren't you planning to go back to your mother's side after you leave?"
Qi Yuanyou didn't understand what was going on; he simply voiced his question.
Qin Jin'an immediately shook his head: "Of course not, I will go back to her side, and if all goes well, I will become very healthy."
"I'll be as chubby as you then."
As Qin Jin'an spoke, she pinched Qi Yuanyou's belly enviously. "He has so much fat. I really envy him for having so much fat, unlike me. I'm so thin that my belly is flat. Even a slight cold could kill me."
She was extremely fragile, and she didn't like being so fragile.
"I don't think your mother will cry. She will worry, but she will wait for you to come back."
Qi Yuanyou blushed upon hearing Qin Jin'an's envious tone, but he was also happy, knowing that Qin Jin'an was genuinely considering his feelings.
He felt that Qin Jin'an's mother was like his imperial grandmother, protecting him against all odds, reluctant to be separated from him, but also willing to let him go to a safe place for the sake of his health, and happy to be with him.
Everyone else disliked his chubby body, but his grandmother always looked at him with great affection and called him her beloved grandson.
"Yu Bao, don't hesitate because of your worries. As long as it's for your own good, the person who truly loves you will not hold you back."
"Think about it, if your mother wanted to do something good for her, would you stop her?"
Qi Yuanyou was very patient and guided Qin Jin'an to think about it in a different way.
After listening, Qin Jin'an thought about it carefully and said, "I won't, I will encourage my mother."
"That's right. If it's something that's good for you, your mother won't stop you. She'll worry about you, but she'll also bless you and wait for you to come home. A short separation is for a happier reunion in the future."
Qi Yuanyou said with a smile that it was just like his grandmother and he had been separated for five years before they were able to reunite and spend time together.
“You’re right, I’ll tell my mother tomorrow.”
"Yuanyuan, thank you. You're so smart! You're really amazing."
"I'm so sleepy, I really hope I dream about you every day..."
Having made up her mind and finding a solution to her worries, Qin Jin'an felt sleepy and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Qi Yuanyou's lips curled up; for some reason, he felt very happy to be praised by Qin Jin'an.
He is intelligent, as my grandmother often said. He learns things quickly and can learn almost anything after seeing it only once.
Yu Bao is indeed not very smart; even after being taught a word many times, he still doesn't remember it very well.
However, they are friends, and he won't look down on her. He has plenty of patience. Yu Bao has been going to bed early lately, and perhaps after a while, she will have the energy to study properly with him.
He will definitely be a qualified teacher!

As dawn broke, Qin Jin'an woke up yawning.
After tidying up, I sat on the cart and went out.
She didn't sleep on the way.
As they moved further away from the village, Qin Jin'an sat up.
Qin asked with concern, "My dear, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Qin Jin'an shook his head: "Mother, Grandfather, I have something to tell you."
"What did you say?"
Qin Tianhai stopped the horse.
Qin Jin'an said seriously, "I want to go back to the Su family. I have a way to get back what belongs to me. Once I get it back, I will be a healthy child again. I won't need to take medicine. I will grow up to be chubby."
The moment she uttered her first words, Madam Qin's face turned flustered.
Qin Tianhai panicked, but quickly calmed down.
He looked at Qin Jin'an seriously and said, "Yu Bao, do you know that it's not so easy to get back what you've given away?"
Qin Tianhai's mind was in turmoil, with two voices arguing in his head.
Qin swallowed her panic, her eyes filled with anxiety as she spoke, "My darling, they are wolves in sheep's clothing, they only want to tear you apart..."
"Mom, Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I know what to do. I'll lie to them. If they pay me back little by little, that's fine. If they don't pay me back, I'll make them even more unlucky. I have a way to make myself very unlucky, and anyone who gets close to me will have bad luck..."
Qin Jin'an spoke earnestly. If she could trick the Su family into returning the good fortune to her, that would be great. If not, she would go back to the Su family and exchange her fortune with the God of Misfortune. With his consent, exchanging fortune would not harm her, and those who approached her would only get bad luck from her.
In any case, returning to the Su family was a decision that would benefit her without causing any harm.
The only thing that bothered her was Qin's worries.
"But you were unconscious for so long last time..."
Qin didn't care about good or bad luck; she only cared about her daughter's health.
"Mother, last time was an accident. We're already friends, so he'll agree. Then I won't fall into a coma anymore."
Qin Jin'an tried to comfort Qin Shi, but Qin Shi became even more worried after she finished speaking.
Who is he? Where is he?
Qin was even more worried.
"In my dream, he was plump and healthy. Don't worry, Mother. We can't see him, but in my dream, I'm in control!"
Qin Jin'an recalled Qi Yuanyou's clothes. He must have been born into a very wealthy family. The world is so big, the probability of him and her meeting in this lifetime is too small.
In her dreams, she was in control. She could lie on him and sleep, pinch his soft belly, and rub his chubby cheeks. But these were secrets; she wouldn't tell anyone, not even her mother and grandfather.
She's a good girl; a polite girl wouldn't do that.
"Sweetie, can you let Mommy think about it? Don't be in such a hurry, okay?"
Qin was in a state of confusion; she didn't know what to do.
Qin Jin'an nodded: "Yes, I will listen to my mother. If she doesn't want me to go, I won't go."
Returning to the Su family might help her recover faster, but staying by Qin's side and slowly accumulating merit by saving people would also help her recover gradually.
After her good fortune dissipates, the Su family will also slowly perish, but this process may take three to five years.
The Su family's suppression and scheming will make her mother suffer a lot in the next few years. Qin Jin'an gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, when I get better, I can run and jump again."
After saying this, Qin Jin'an felt extremely guilty and abandoned any thought Qin Shi might have had of keeping her.
Qin Tianhai reached out and gently touched Qin Jin'an's hair, saying, "Good boy, Yu Bao, the winter clothes your mother made for you aren't finished yet. Let's go back to the Su family when they're done."
Qin Shi, her nose stinging with tears, spoke in a hoarse voice: "Yes, in five days, I will send you back to the Su family. I will be waiting for you to come home."
