The Road After Chapter 80
That's really weird. He almost fell to his death before we even got home.
If he goes back with them, will he even survive?
Every fall is unexpected; he was already being extra careful.
But each time, it was as if he was violently overturned by a great force, and that strange power became more and more terrifying each time. He realized that he was not destined for that, and no matter how tempting the Qin family was, his life was more important.
If she were truly such a good woman, why would the official media be arranging a marriage for her?
Zhao Quanzi ran away without looking back, not caring whether his reason was too perfunctory.
Since it's a one-time meeting and there won't be another, he can't care too much.
Watching Zhao Quanzi run away.
The smile on Qin Tianhai's face disappeared, and he turned around and went home with Qin Shi.
They came back too late today.
Zhao and Zhang were unaware of what had happened and waited anxiously at home. Zhang kept looking out at the crossroads until she saw the oxcart return, at which point she finally felt relieved.
She took a few steps forward and realized something was wrong, and her heart jumped again.
"Let's go home first and talk about it later."
Qin Tianhai said calmly.
Zhang nodded; she knew something must have happened today, otherwise she wouldn't have come back so late.
The child was still asleep, but the daughter's eyes were red from crying.
The short walk home felt like an eternity for Zhang.
Hearing the commotion, Zhao came out to greet them. Seeing the situation, she didn't ask any questions, but went to the kitchen to fetch hot water for Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi to wash up first.
Qin carried Qin Jin'an back into the house and gently washed her face, hands, and feet with hot water.
Qin Jin'an's breathing was steady, but he just didn't wake up.
When Zhao came into the room, she was also worried. She walked to Qin's side and said, "Little sister, eat first. No matter what, you need to eat to be healthy and have the energy to deal with it."
Qin nodded. She just couldn't control her emotions; she understood everything else.
When I arrived at the kitchen, the food was already laid out.
Qin Tianhai calmly said, "Let's eat."
The family ate their meal in silence, quickly, just to fill their stomachs.
After finishing the meal, Zhao neatly cleared away the dishes and chopsticks.
Qin Tianhai, holding the fish soup, said, "I'll go see if I can feed Yu Bao a few bites. All these fish noodles are ready, let's clean them up first, and then we can go to the main room later to plan what needs to be done next."
Qin nodded.
Both Zhang and Zhao quietly offered their help.
Qin Tianhai brought fish soup to feed Qin Jin'an. Seeing that the child's cheeks were thin and fleshy, Qin Tianhai felt extremely distressed. All the flesh he had worked so hard to gain was gone.
The child's condition is worse than when she returned a few months ago.
Qin Tianhai carefully used a spoon to feed Qin Jin'an the warm soup, patiently coaxing him, "Good boy, Yu Bao, you can't go to sleep hungry, drink some soup."
Qin Jin'an drank very slowly, but he was still able to drink it down.
Qin Tianhai finally felt a little relieved. This meant the child was conscious. He didn't know how long the child would remain unconscious, but the fact that the child could drink soup was a good thing.
What I'm worried about is that they won't even be able to eat soup.
"Fish Baby is great, have another sip."
Qin Tianhai coaxed him gently, slowly feeding him the bowl of soup.
Zhang brought over another bowl of steamed egg custard.
"Can Yu Bao swallow this? Let's feed her some of this, it's her favorite food."
Zhang's eyes were filled with worry and tears.
The delicate steamed egg custard was something Qin Jin'an could usually eat a whole bowl of by himself, and Zhang hoped that her child could eat more.
Qin Tianhai fed him slowly, only feeding him a third of a bowl of steamed egg custard.
"Let's make porridge with fish soup tomorrow."
Qin Tianhai sighed. The food was too little; it was only a quarter of what the child usually ate.
But now, it's a miracle that she can eat at all. They were too greedy, hoping she could eat more and more.
"Um."
Zhang responded and took the bowl and chopsticks out.
Zhang handed the remaining steamed egg custard to Zhao, saying, "Yu Bao can't finish it, so you should eat a few more while you're pregnant."
Zhao nodded; she was full, but she could eat a few more bites.
Thinking of Qin, Zhao said, "Why don't we give it to our younger sister?"
Zhang shook her head. She shouldn't have favored her daughter like this normally; now her daughter has even less appetite.
Zhao picked up the bowl and started eating. She finished it in a few bites, and Zhang took the bowl, washed it, and put it away.
"Let's go to the main house."
I always need to know what happened today.
It may be difficult, but Zhang believes that as long as hearts are united, no matter how difficult it is, it will pass. As long as the family is united, life will always get better and better.
Qin had already prepared the seasoning for the noodles and fish, and they went to the main room together.
After sitting down in the main room, Qin Tianhai slowly recounted what had happened that day.
Although things are temporarily out of the woods, the long-term crisis remains.
Li Siheng's wife died after eating fish-shaped noodles. The cause of death was suffocation due to swelling in her throat and difficulty breathing. Li Siheng claimed it was poisoning, but that was not the case.
This is a food conflict; perhaps she can't eat fish in the first place, and eating it would trigger this illness.
With Su Chang'an pulling the strings, the case could be resolved quickly, catching them off guard.
Even if many things are unreasonable, they can be easily erased and made reasonable. As long as the result does not violate the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, it can all be controlled by Su Chang'an.
Just like the black horse they bought, even though Su Chang'an sold it himself, he wouldn't admit it was stolen, so the person who bought the horse wouldn't dare to say that Su Chang'an sold it.
Therefore, in their situation, they have no way to persuade those who know the truth; this is the irresistible power.
If it weren't for Yu Bao's desperate efforts to bring them absolute good fortune, either of these two events today could have ruined their entire family.
"Then what do we do?"
Zhang sighed and wept, once again resenting herself for being too soft-hearted and raising such an ungrateful child.
Are we moving?
Zhang wiped away her tears; she knew she couldn't afford to offend them, so she could only avoid them.
But the foundation is still here. Moving is not so simple. Giving up the home where I have patiently lived is like having a piece of my heart cut off.
"We won't move. Even if we want to move, some people won't let us."
Qin Tianhai spoke calmly, "Su Chang'an will definitely not let their family off the hook."
Moving wasn't something they could just do whenever they wanted; Su Chang'an wouldn't let their whole family leave.
Only within the jurisdiction of Liuzhou City could Su Chang'an easily take action against them.
“Dad, no matter how difficult it is, I still want to do business. I’ve thought about it. To avoid this kind of thing from happening, I have to put up a sign that says there really are fish in it, and that people who can’t eat fish will get sick if they eat it. But the sickness is not poisoning.”
“If someone eats my noodles and gets sick, I will pay for their medicine if they are taken to the hospital in time. But if I just watch the patient die, I have reason to suspect that they are trying to kill me and extort money from me.”
Qin expressed her thoughts. She knew a little about the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. This time, she was caught off guard, which allowed Su Chang'an to succeed.
