Chapter 5 The Second Day After Marrying into the Qin Family
Song Jin followed in hurriedly.
Then, was there no one inside? Only the occasional crackling sound of burning wood, the fire on the stove, and white hot steam coming out of the edge of the pot lid. On the table next to it, there were side dishes.
Old Liu stared at Song Jin and said, "There's no one in the kitchen. Why are you so anxious?"
"The water is still boiling in the pot, I have to hurry over to check it out." Song Jin didn't know when Qin Chi left, but she wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it.
Song Jin was not afraid of Old Liu, but she did not want to cause trouble. In her previous life, she had experienced how difficult the old woman was.
Old Mrs. Liu left with an unhappy look on her face.
Song Xiu glanced at the kitchen with regret.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Song Xiu pretended to be worried, but the malice in her eyes was about to overflow, "I know it was Qin Chi who helped you today, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Thinking of Old Liu's attitude towards Song Jin, her life will not be easy in the future. After Qin Chi dies of illness after a while, and with the reputation of being a jinx, it will be difficult for Song Jin to even remarry.
Just thinking about Song Jin's miserable situation, Song Xiu felt happy in her heart.
"But you have to use something to shut me up." Song Xiu began to blackmail.
Although they had already fallen out, Song Jin still felt a chill in his heart. He said sullenly, "Go ahead and say what you want. No one is stopping you."
After saying this, Song Jin was too lazy to pay any more attention to Song Xiu and just squatted down to add firewood to the stove.
This attitude made Song Xiu so angry that she stomped her feet, turned around and left angrily.
When no one was in the kitchen, Song Jin got up quickly, took the side dishes to the living room, and then hurried back to the house. Sure enough, he saw Qin Chi...washing his face? "When did you..." Song Jin turned around and closed the door.
"I went back to my room when I heard the noise." Qin Chi wet his handkerchief and wiped his face. "Wash yourself up when you come in, and then we'll go to the main room together."
"OK……"
Song Jin's eyes fell on the brand new toothbrush and tooth powder beside him.
This is for her.
When I first married into the Qin family, I lacked everything.
Someone had prepared it, and Song Jin felt a little warm in her heart. However, she did not say thank you this time, but just kept this kindness in her heart.
If you give me a peach, I will give you a plum in return.
In the short time he has left, she will treat him well...
This life is different from the previous one.
In his previous life, Old Man Qin made the decision to get married in front of everyone and would not tolerate any objections from Qin Mingsong and Qin Chi. The next day, he prepared two tables of banquets and invited the respected elders in the village. The two of them were considered to be married into the Qin family together.
Now Song Jin will marry Qin Chi first.
Song Xiu hasn't even met Qin Mingsong yet.
Old man Qin’s full name is Qin Shi. He is over fifty years old and he and old Mrs. Liu raised four sons and two daughters.
The two daughters are already married, and among the four sons, only Qin Mingsong is still unmarried.
When Old Man Qin was young, he worked outside for a few years. When he made money, he returned home to build a house and buy land. It is said that he apprenticed to a master and learned the craft of making ink. Every year he would make a small amount of Hui ink and sell it to rich people. He supported his whole family with this and was a well-known rich man in the village.
The Qin family is large, with seven grandchildren alone.
The eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Mingzhong, married Li and had an only son, Qin Chi.
The second wife, Qin Mingyi, married Xiao Liu and had five children, four sons and one daughter.
The third wife, Qin Mingqing, had a two-year-old daughter.
The Qin family gathered in the hall today, happily wearing their cleanest clothes, waiting for the new daughter-in-law to make her official appearance in the main room.
Song Jin and Qin Chi stepped into the threshold one after another, standing side by side as if they were covered in sunshine. At first glance, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty, as beautiful as a painting.
The main reason was that Song Jin was too handsome, which made Qin Chi, who used to be sickly in the eyes of the Qin family, look a little different.
It was not until the two men came closer that everyone came to their senses.
Qin Lao Er laughed and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, you have chosen the right niece-in-law. Look, when Dalang stands with his niece-in-law, he looks so lively and pretty."
"Hahaha, second brother, Dalang has been good-looking since he was young. He is not worse than fourth brother, but he is a little thin." Qin Lao San joked.
Qin Chi smiled faintly: "Second uncle, third uncle, please stop joking, my nephew is very shy."
"What do you mean by thin-skinned? A boy with thick skin will have a bright future." Little Liu said casually, "Da Lang, you are already married, you can't be thin-skinned, otherwise how can you have children..."
Qin Chi's mouth twitched slightly.
Second Aunt is a person who doesn't keep her mouth shut, you'll get used to it.
Beside him, Qin Sanlang's face was red, and he said awkwardly: "Mom, why do you say that so easily? I, I'm still young."
"You're just a nine-year-old kid whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, why are you shy?" Mrs. Liu slapped her second son on the head.
"Hahaha……"
The adults burst into laughter.
The children, whether they understood or not, all laughed along with the adults.
Except for the two-year-old Erya, the rest of the children are from the second room. The oldest is Qin Daya, who is thirteen this year.
The second is Qin Erlang, who is just eleven years old.
The two chubby little boys, who looked about three or four years old, were the twins born to Xiao Liu.
The most fertile member of the Qin family is little Liu.
Li never got pregnant again after giving birth to Qin Chi, but Lin got pregnant twice, but neither of them survived.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Song Jin always keeps smiling.
Deal with embarrassment with a smile, and as long as she doesn't show it, no one will know.
Qin Mingsong and Song Xiu were not in the room.
Qin Mingsong shouldn't have come back. It would be strange if Song Xiu wasn't here at this kind of occasion...
Just as Song Jin was confused.
Old Liu ordered, "Da Ya, go and invite the second young lady."
"Okay, grandma."
Qin Daya went out in response and came back soon.
Song Xiu was wearing a dark green flower-and-bird skirt, and she walked gracefully with small steps. She had very few accessories on her body, only a peony head flower, but it was just right, making her face as beautiful as a lotus and her figure as delicate as a flower.
Song Jin could see that Song Xiu had dressed up carefully.
Song Xiu came up and handed over a jade hairpin, and said with a smile, "Sister, this is a wedding gift from me."
"Thank you for the money." Song Jin took it.
I still have to give myself some respect in front of others, just because I don't want to be laughed at in public.
Song Xiu said jokingly, "Why spend so much money? When I get married, I will also have to buy some dowry for you, don't forget it."
"I can't forget it." Song Jin smiled.
I’m afraid of being at a disadvantage when giving gifts to others. It’s the same as in my previous life. I’m still so short-sighted.
"Look at what I said, Xiu'er was just joking with you, don't take it seriously." Song Xiu quickly made amends.
Song Jin smiled but said nothing.
Song Xiu turned to greet the elders of the Qin family, speaking with a smile, as if she wanted to steal the limelight.
Song Jin didn't take it to heart.
In this life, when she gets along with the Qin family, just like Song Xiu, she just needs to keep up appearances.
Wait until everyone is seated.
As for the new daughter-in-law, serving meals to her elders is a very simple process. She only needs to serve a bowl of thick rice porridge to each of her parents-in-law.
Ordinary people don't have the conditions to be like the rich and powerful. It's impossible for a new daughter-in-law to pick up pickles for her parents-in-law with chopsticks, right?
That scene is hilarious just thinking about it!
Song Jin thought that there was a pair of old ancestors above his parents-in-law, so he served the porridge to Old Man Qin first, and then to Old Mrs. Liu.
When Old Liu saw Song Jin, she was furious and was ready to make trouble: "Da Lang's wife! Why don't you make noodles today? I don't like this porridge..."
Old Man Qin slammed the table and said angrily, "If you dare to be picky again, I will beat you to death! Did I give you less food before?"
Old Mrs. Liu was scolded and stammered a few times but couldn't utter a word.
No one present dared to say a word.
Song Jin continued to serve porridge to Old Liu.
But when he was serving, the spoon in the little hand shook, and the rice porridge in the bowl became a little clearer. Qin Chi's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, and then he looked away.
