Chapter 115 One Step at a Time
Qin Yulin was confident because he had done similar things when he was a child.
There used to be a water vent along the path where we farmed, and we would fetch water from there when we were thirsty while working.
The place was close to another family's land, and for a while the two families had a falling out. He would get scolded when he went to fetch water.
They say that drinking it will cause your son to be born without eyes, or that your tongue will rot and develop pustules.
Qin Yulin got annoyed after hearing it so much, so he deliberately dug up some trees and planted them. He didn't know what kind of trees they were, but he knew that the places where those trees were planted were stagnant and smelly. So he went out of his way to find all kinds of excrement and secretly buried them around that area every day. In less than a month, the water became murky.
It started to smell bad, and gradually the water source dried up.
Now it was quiet. No one went to fetch water anymore, and the family could no longer speak to each other from their superior position.
This was a secret he kept to himself, and he felt guilty about it for a long time afterward.
"You child..."
Ms. Zhang was both angry and amused. Many years had passed, and she felt helpless when she recalled the incident.
The water was near that family's earthen embankment, and they claimed it as their water, demanding more benefits from everyone taking more water.
Each family asks for one coin.
If you don't give it to her, you'll get a cold shoulder and be verbally abused indirectly.
Later, when the water became contaminated, no one drank it anymore. People said it was God's punishment for their immoral behavior. The family was terrified for a while, never expecting that their own son was the one who destroyed the water source.
"The Su family's winery is doing well, so there must be people patrolling the water source very carefully. If you get caught, you'll lose your head."
Qin Tianhai looked at Qin Yulin and said seriously.
This is something that can be done, but it's not without risk; in fact, the risk is quite high.
The Su family isn't stupid; they'd definitely keep a close eye on their money. Water is so important, they couldn't possibly neglect to protect it.
Destroying the water source is cutting off their source of money. The Su family will naturally fight to the death if they catch them, and they're just looking for an opportunity to kill the Qin family.
Qin Yulin put away his smile and said seriously, "Father, don't worry. If I do it, I will definitely not be caught by them. I am in good health and can hide in the mountains for ten or eight days without any problem."
“If we do nothing, they will get richer and richer and keep targeting us. As long as we can accomplish one thing, it will be a fatal blow to them. They can’t even clean up their own mess, so they won’t have the time to deal with us.”
Qin Yulin is usually cheerful, but when he gets serious, he should not be underestimated.
He is always cautious in his actions.
"Okay, we can investigate slowly after the autumn harvest is over. There's no rush."
Qin Tianhai nodded.
"I'll investigate a few of their cloth workshops first; I'll destroy as many as I can."
Qin also calmly said that she still had some money on hand, and as long as she was willing to spend the money, she could always find out the information.
Find a person's weakness before taking action.
"No rush. Gather more information before making a proper plan. Either don't make a move at all, or if you do, it must be a decisive strike."
Qin Tianhai looked at his daughter and son and said seriously.
Both Qin Shi and Qin Yulin nodded; today they were just discussing a goal.
"Everyone, rest. We need to think carefully these next few days and come up with a way to ensure that Yu Bao is safe in the Su family."
Qin Tianhai waved his hand, the most important matter was still unresolved.
Qin Yulin was troubled; he couldn't think of a good solution.
Qin pondered deeply, but had no clue what to do.
But they still have at least five days to think it over.
Qin Jin'an was holding Bai Diandian in the yard, muttering to herself. When she heard footsteps, she looked over, smiled sweetly, and pushed Bai Diandian to the ground. Bai Diandian looked at Qin Jin'an blankly and immediately ran to her side, but Qin Jin'an had already run into Qin Shi's arms.
Qin Jin'an was picked up.
White Dots circled around Qin Shi, wagging its tail and barking "woof woof woof" and "hug hug hug."
Unfortunately, Qin could not understand.
Qin Jinan laughed heartily: "Mother is mine, and she belongs to me alone."
White Dots had no choice but to quietly return to its nest.
Qin was somewhat helpless. She carried Qin Jin'an back to the room and then went to fetch hot water for her to wash up.
After lying down, Qin hummed a tune.
Qin Jin'an drifted into a dream.
Upon seeing Qi Yuanyou, she ran over and gave him a bear hug: "Yuanyuan, I'm so happy."
So happy that she couldn't help but pinch Qi Yuanyou's chubby belly.
Qi Yuanyou sensed her emotions, and he stood there stiffly, his face flushed: "It's good that things went smoothly."
"Yuanyuan, you eat a lot every day, are you happy?"
Qin Jin'an suddenly stopped while kneading and looked at Qi Yuanyou to ask a question.
He is the reincarnation of the god of misfortune, and those who get close to him will become unfortunate. Wouldn't he be very sad?
Thinking about how Xiao Caidie ate so much but Qin Jin'an couldn't feel her happiness, she suddenly became worried.
They are friends now, and Qin Jin'an hopes Qi Yuanyou will be happy and stop eating like that.
Why do you ask that?
Qi Yuanyou was taken aback for a moment, then avoided Qin Jin'an's eyes and asked her a question instead.
He unconsciously clenched his fists, and couldn't help but wonder if she hated him.
Does she also find his behavior disgusting?
A pain is spreading through my chest.
Will we meet again?
Because I want you to be happy.
In those few brief moments, while Qi Yuanyou was lost in his own self-pity and grief, Qin Jin'an gave his answer without hesitation.
After saying that, she pinched Qi Yuanyou's belly again, then stretched out her hand and counted on her thumb: "Yuanyuan, I think you can't eat so much anymore, because it's very bad for your health. If you're not healthy, the people who love you will be very sad."
"And another thing, do you know how many people go hungry? It's wrong of you to waste food like this. You have to appreciate the delicious food with your heart to enjoy it. You've eaten so many delicious foods, can you tell me the difference between them?"
Qin Jin'an spoke earnestly, his expression changing frequently.
Qi Yuanyou was shocked; her emotions were so vivid, but she showed no disgust whatsoever.
"I...I'm so hungry...I can't control myself. I don't remember what they taste like. I just want to fill my stomach."
Qi Yuanyou felt guilty; he knew his weight gain was all from overeating.
He never thought about that question; all he knew was to eat, stuffing his empty stomach full.
Eating makes me happy when I'm happy, but when I'm unhappy, I just feel like stuffing myself.
"Fool!"
Qin Jin'an patted Qi Yuanyou's stomach, feeling extremely annoyed. How much delicious food he must have eaten, and he couldn't even remember the taste—what a waste!
Like Xiao Caidie, her wastefulness is infuriating.
"sorry……"
Qi Yuanyou apologized with self-reproach.
"Oh, you don't need to apologize to me. You couldn't control yourself either. You must be having a hard time. Let's think of a solution together. Let's take it one step at a time and we can make things better together."
Qin Jin'an quickly patted Qi Yuanyou's chest.
"Fish Baby, do you want to lie down?"
Qi Yuanyou asked.
Qin Jin'an nodded. She was used to it. Anyway, the solution would come to her as she thought about it. Whether she was standing or lying down didn't affect her.
