Chapter 20 Uncle, be careful what you put in your mouth.
The afternoon passed just like that.
Qin Yulin and Qin Tianhai were about to get out of bed.
When Zhao came out, she looked much better.
After Su Dai woke up, he went to the words and began to practice them diligently with a wooden stick.
She is a trustworthy child; she always keeps her promises.
She was just scratching her head in distress, wondering what her grandfather had said about the second stroke.
How could she forget everything after just one night's sleep? Did someone steal her memory?
After thinking for a while without being able to remember, she managed to draw a reasonably good result by following the example. Su Dai rubbed her lower back; she had already done her best, so now she could go play.
Where are her ant friends? I wonder if they've found any food.
Su Dai quickly went to a corner of the yard and continued to observe the ants.
Su Dai is a well-behaved child and doesn't cause any trouble.
When Qin and Zhao were doing housework, they would occasionally glance at her.
Zhao looked on with envy: "I wish I could have a daughter like Su Bao someday."
Qin stopped her needlework, pricked her itchy scalp with the needle, and laughed, "There definitely will be."
After the two worked for a while, Qin began to clean the pigsty.
Zhao was sweeping the floor.
As darkness fell, the workers gradually returned home, and smoke rose from the chimneys of every household.
Qin Tianhai and Qin Yulin also returned one after another, as did Zhang Shi.
They all went to the backyard to fetch water for a quick wash.
Su Dai heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it and saw a strange woman. She smiled sweetly and asked, "Auntie, who are you looking for?"
He Yun looked at the fair-skinned child and smiled, "Little girl, I'm looking for your parents."
As he spoke, He Yun looked around to make sure he hadn't made a mistake.
Su Dai had already run to the kitchen to call for help.
She went into the kitchen, and Zhao gave her a piece of dried fish.
Su Dai happily took the bite and was immediately amazed by its spicy flavor.
She squinted her eyes, a look of pure enjoyment on her face: "Wow, this is the best fish I've ever eaten!"
It's fragrant and spicy, absolutely delicious.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "There's plenty more; you can have as much as you want."
Who wouldn't love this child?
Su Dai forgot about the important matter.
He Yun waited outside for a while, but when she didn't see anyone come out, she went inside as well.
She swallowed hard at the aroma of the food, and then smiled as she looked at Madam Qin and Madam Zhao, saying, "Zhao Lan married into this family, right? I married into Xinghua Village. My family home is in the next village, not far away. My name is He Yun."
Qin glanced at Zhao; she had come to see her.
Zhao didn't know He Yun, but she knew that He Yun must have come for something, and that he specifically asked for her.
She stepped forward and spoke gently, "I am Zhao Lan. Is there anything I can help you with?"
He Yun looked at Zhao Lan and said, "It's like this, your aunt asked me to pass on a message to you. Your aunt has recently fallen ill and hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days. She said she doesn't know if she can make it through, so she wants you to go back and see her."
"I've delivered the message. I won't bother you any longer. I'm going to my parents' house for dinner."
He Yun was there to deliver a message, and since the other party seemed to be about to eat, she should leave.
Su Dai then had a chance to speak: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I forgot about you while I was eating fish."
Seeing Su Dai's adorable appearance, He Yun smiled and said, "It's alright, your mother is a good cook, I would forget it too."
Qin had already wrapped some fish pieces in paper. She smiled and said, "We don't have anything good at home, so I'll take it back for the children to try."
He Yun quickly declined, saying, "No, no."
Madam Qin smiled and insisted, "Take it, take it..."
After a few more visits, He Yun was seen off at the door, and she left with a smile.
Zhao looked worried. She had just sent Zhao Caiju back at noon, and the message came that evening.
For some reason, this made her feel uneasy.
While eating dried fish, Su Dai tugged at Zhao's hand and asked, "Aunt, don't worry, everything will go smoothly for you. Just tell Uncle to be careful about what he puts in his mouth. I'll give you..."
"Waaah..."
Before Su Dai could finish speaking, Zhao covered his mouth.
Zhao was startled and quickly said, "Su Bao, don't say anything. Your aunt will protect you."
Su Dai didn't continue. She originally intended to bestow blessings so that even if something unexpected happened, the danger could be averted and the bad guys wouldn't be able to harm her uncle and aunt.
But her aunt was worried that she would bestow blessings, so she had no choice but to refuse.
When Qin returned and saw this scene, she was pleased. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's eat first. We'll discuss it with our parents later and see how to get there."
She couldn't refuse; Zhao had lived in that house for several years.
Zhao nodded: "Okay, Su Bao... little sister, I'm really sorry."
Zhao was worried about Su Dai.
Qin said with a smile, "It's alright, my baby can sense a lot of things, her reminder won't affect her health."
Only her wish would affect her body, and Zhao stopped Su Dai from continuing, so Su Dai's body is fine.
"Sister-in-law, just remember what my sweetheart reminded you of."
Qin was afraid that Zhao wouldn't take it to heart, so she reminded her.
Zhao nodded; she had remembered.
After she arrived, she would carefully inspect anything that would enter her mouth. She would personally prepare it, and she wouldn't let Qin Yulin eat anything she didn't see.
After Zhang and the others finished tidying up, they sat down to eat.
Zhao then told him about He Yun delivering the message.
Qin Yulin was displeased upon hearing this: "They must be planning something against you. Lan'er, you don't need to go. I'll just go and shut them up. I'm quick on my feet; I'll go in the morning and be back by noon."
Qin Yulin knew that Zhao had a hard time making a living under her uncle and aunt, and he didn't want her to suffer that injustice.
Zhang nodded in agreement: "That works too. Anyway, we've already shown our faces at home, so outsiders can't say anything more. Just say you're not feeling well, and Yulin will go and take a look on your behalf."
Qin Tianhai also nodded in approval of this approach.
Zhao was also pondering whether this was a good idea.
Qin also thought this was a good idea.
While eating, Su Dai quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth and said, "No, that would put Uncle in their trap. Uncle can't go alone."
The family turned to look at Su Dai.
Qin Yulin asked, puzzled, "Su Bao, why?"
Qin Tianhai said sternly, "Su Bao, wait a moment. Your grandfather will ask you."
Su Dai nodded obediently.
"Su Bao, is it possible that something bad will happen if your uncle goes alone?"
Qin Tianhai asked cautiously.
Su Dai nodded: "Yes, I saw them feed my uncle, and then he fell asleep. Then they hit him, and my aunt cried so hard that you were all upset."
Qin Tianhai was shocked; this was a premonition.
Qin Yulin was also worried, wondering what had happened to make his whole family so sad; it was too terrible.
Qin Tianhai then asked, "Does your aunt have to go with you so that this kind of thing won't happen?"
Su Dai nodded emphatically: "My aunt can protect my uncle."
