Chapter 68 Countermeasures
Qin Tianhai had already packed everything. Seeing Qin Shi return, he casually asked, "Is everything settled?"
"Um."
Qin lowered her eyes and nodded. She dared not look into her father's eyes; he was so intelligent, she was afraid he would see through her worries.
"Let's go then."
Qin Tianhai carried Qin Jin'an onto the cart, making the journey back much easier, as they could both ride in the cart.
The horse knows the way. Qin Tianhai only needed to say "go home" and it knew to go home. There was no need to worry about it getting lost on the way.
Qin Jin'an leaned against Qin Shi's chest and quickly fell asleep.
The child was asleep. Qin Tianhai glanced at his thoughtful daughter and ultimately refrained from asking any questions, fearing that the child might wake up in the middle of the night.
Qin Jin'an can tell fortunes, but she doesn't do it easily. She won't do it unless she sees something in the fortune.
Qin tried her best to calm herself down and hide her worries, because she didn't want the child to waste his energy.
Qin Tianhai refrained from asking, not wanting to exhaust the child.
Qin thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know that her father had already seen through it all.
Back home, everything was the same as before.
Qin was so busy that no one could tell anything was amiss.
After waking up from a nap, Qin Jin'an went to herd the horses with Zhao Shi, taking their puppy, Bai Diandian, with them.
Qin Jin'an is happy every day.
Qin breathed a sigh of relief after the child fell asleep that night.
The medicine couldn't wait, so she had to find a way to go on a long trip tomorrow. But how could she tell her parents so they wouldn't worry?
"Knock knock".
There was a knock on the door, and Qin Shi came to her senses and sat up.
"Come to the main room."
It was Zhang who came to call her.
Her parents usually wouldn't look for her at night, so Qin didn't delay. She quickly got dressed, quietly opened the door, and went to the main room.
Qin Yulin and Zhao Shi also came out at that time.
Qin Yulin looked puzzled.
"What's up? We can discuss this when we're ready to sleep."
Qin Yulin scratched his head and muttered to himself.
Zhao rolled her eyes at him and pinched his waist.
Qin Yulin hissed and chuckled.
Qin was distracted and did not notice Zhao's subtle actions.
Qin Tianhai and Zhang Shi sat quietly in the main room. After their children had all arrived, Qin Tianhai spoke: "Yuwan, you went to buy medicine today, but you didn't manage to buy any, did you?"
Qin was shocked and looked at Qin Tianhai in surprise, wondering how her father knew.
Qin Yulin frowned and looked at Qin Shi: "What do you mean, Father? Isn't there enough money?"
Zhao's eyes also showed worry.
Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Daughter, what's wrong?"
Qin lowered her eyes and explained, "I have enough money. It's just that they refuse to sell me the medicine. Su Chang'an gave the order that all the medical clinics in Liuzhou City that can make medicine have been contacted by Su Chang'an, and no one dares to make medicine for me."
It's not about money, but something far more serious.
This is something that money can't solve.
"What?! How dare that beast do such a thing!"
Qin Yulin stood up angrily. Yu Bao was weak and needed to take medicine. Cutting off her medicine was tantamount to trying to kill her.
Qin Yulin clenched his fists, wishing he could go to Su Chang'an right now and beat him up!
Zhao was also shocked. That was Su Chang'an's own daughter! How could he be so cruel!
"That beast! I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and helped them. It would have been so much better if they had just starved to death!"
Zhang pounded her chest in anguish. Her momentary kindness had ruined her daughter's life. What kind of heart did that family have? Why were they so determined to kill her daughter? Even after all that, they still wouldn't let her go.
She really wanted to cut open their hearts and crawl into their bellies to see if their hearts were black and oozing pus!
“If we can’t buy it in Liuzhou, we have to go to the neighboring Wuzhou as soon as possible. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t extend his influence to Wuzhou. He’s just the Marquis of Anping. If he wants to extend his influence that far, no one will agree to it.”
Qin Tianhai calmed down and spoke. He had expected that his daughter would have trouble buying the medicine, but he hadn't expected that she couldn't buy it at all.
He thought the money would multiply several times over, but he had been too kind to the Su family.
If they can't buy the medicine, it's like forcing them to send their child to the Su family. This is undoubtedly a betrayal of their will. If they're unwilling, then this problem needs to be solved quickly.
"Father, that's what I thought too. I didn't want you to worry too much, but I'm useless..."
Qin's eyes reddened; she was grateful that her father hadn't considered sending the child back, but instead was trying to find a solution for her.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang understood Qin's heart, and she felt a deep ache in her own.
"Then there's no time to lose. I'll set off tomorrow. Give me the prescription and the money, and I'll go buy the medicine. I'll be back in two days at most."
Qin Yulin realized what was happening and said seriously.
"It's not safe for a woman like you to go alone. Let me go. I'll ride our family's black horse."
Qin Yulin's expression turned serious, and he quickly formed a plan in his mind.
The black horse is intelligent, and its limp is nothing to worry about; it's more than enough for the battlefield. It will set off early tomorrow morning and should be able to enter Wuzhou City by evening. If all goes well, it should be able to return with the medicine in three days.
"Your brother is very thoughtful. Let him go tomorrow."
Qin Tianhai nodded.
Qin felt deeply grateful: "Thank you, Father, Mother, Brother, and Sister-in-law."
Without them, she really didn't know how she would have been able to face all of this.
“We’re family, don’t be afraid, there will definitely be a way. Yu Bao is now a child of the Qin family, he can’t take her away, he can only resort to such despicable means. But we are not afraid of hard work, and his despicable means will be useless.”
Zhao comforted Qin, saying that the Su family's cruel actions were truly heartbreaking, but family members should be tolerant and caring towards each other.
She was shocked to hear that her father-in-law was calm and resourceful, and that her husband was responsible, which made her feel at ease.
The Su family is not scary. He is just the Marquis of Anping. There are countless people above him with higher official positions. He can't cover up the sky with his hand.
"Lan'er is right. Don't worry. Although your older brother is usually a bit simple-minded, he is reliable in critical moments. He is as quick-witted as your father. You can rest assured to entrust things to him."
Zhang patted Qin's hand.
Qin nodded, tears silently dripping onto the back of her hand.
She won't be defeated; she will make her business even better, and she will strive to climb higher.
She is currently at the mercy of others because of her weakness, but she will never bow down.
Qin gave the money and prescription to Qin Yulin, who immediately tucked them close to his chest and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely bring the medicine back. The money's with me..."
He'd rather die than lose his money!
"Pah, pah, pah, big brother, don't talk nonsense..."
Qin hurriedly interrupted Qin Yulin before he could finish speaking.
"This brat, he put the toilet in his mouth! Spit three times to get rid of all the bad luck."
Zhang had no choice but to quickly say something.
Qin Yulin touched his head, and under the stern gaze of his parents, he opened his mouth and spat repeatedly, "Pah, pah, pah!" After spitting, he patted his mouth and said, "All the bad luck is gone, and good luck will surround me."
