"You like money?" Qin Feng strongly disagreed.
He clearly remembered that when Qiu Yan was selling the courtyard in Baiyang, she refused his offer of double the price.
Gu Xiaoran affirmed, "That's right, Mother loves making money."
Qin Feng's eyes flickered slightly: "Uncle is a medicine merchant. Can you accompany me to see your mother's medicinal herb field? Maybe I can help your mother make a lot of money."
"Make a lot of money?" Gu Xiaoran was intrigued. "Really?"
Qin Feng nodded and affirmed, "Of course it's true. Little girl, your uncle wouldn't lie to you."
Gu Xiaoran thought for a moment,
"Who are you to my mother? Why are you helping her earn money?"
"Your uncle likes your mother, that's why he's helping her."
"What?" Gu Xiaoran's eyes widened slightly. "You like my mother?"
"Yes, I envy you. I have no one to rely on, and my mother has long since passed away."
"So, you're going to try and take my mother away from me?"
Gu Xiaoran shook her head abruptly.
"Your own mother is gone, and you're thinking of taking her from me? Don't even think about it. I don't want another brother. Besides, my mother wouldn't agree to have another son!"
Qin Feng...
Calm down, calm down, children speak without thinking.
If a child is not properly taught, it is the father's fault!
"She treated my injuries, so it's only right that I help her earn money."
"So you're saying you didn't try to take my mother away from me?"
Qin Feng: "..."
"Yu'er!" Qiu Yan's call startled Gu Xiaoran.
"I'm going outside to play." He slunk away like lightning, not giving his mother a chance to scold him.
After Gu Xiaoran left, Qiu Yan asked in a low voice:
"Qin Feng, what tricks are you trying to pull?"
Qin Feng: "Don't think of me in such a despicable way. Yu'er said you like money. I just simply wanted to help you."
Qiu Yan smiled and asked, "What, have you finished drawing the map?"
Qin Feng: "..."
"Qiu Yan!" Seeing Qiu Yan about to leave, and smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the courtyard, he said urgently, "I'm hungry."
Qiu Yan gently stroked her upper abdomen with one hand.
"The New Year's Eve dinner is all ready, I'm going to eat now."
Qiu Yan left resolutely. Qin Feng fainted from hunger and became unsteady on his feet. He clung to the window frame and squatted on the ground, looking pitiful.
No snow fell on New Year's Eve.
The Qiu family's New Year's Eve dinner was even more lavish than last year's.
The group sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting about interesting things in life.
Song Jiao felt sorry for her brother and wanted to bring him some food, but Qin Susu waved her hand to stop her.
“Miss Song Jiao, I have already delivered his meal.”
Thinking of the conflict between Qin Susu and her brother, Song Jiao didn't quite trust her. "I'm going to have dinner with my brother," she said, turning to leave.
But Qin Susu stopped her once again.
"Song Jiao, would our Qiu Yan mistreat your brother?"
As the ancients said, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven. Although you two are siblings, you are still of opposite sexes. Dining together would be inconvenient and might invite gossip.
She believes that Song Jiao and Qin Feng are cousins.
Song Jiao did not leave after all.
The kitchen was bustling with activity and filled with joy.
In the side room, Qin Feng squatted in the corner. Even though he was wrapped in three layers of quilts, he still felt cold.
The charcoal brazier in the house had already gone out. Qin Susu was busy enjoying the New Year's Eve celebration and forgot to add more charcoal for him.
Furthermore, it was already past dinner time, and the rice porridge and medicine soup had not been delivered.
Even more tragically, the aroma of food wafting from the neighboring kitchen kept wafting into his nose, making him so hungry he was seeing stars.
The lively atmosphere next door lasted for two or three hours.
Until midnight...
