After silently cursing him in his heart, Qin Yunie let out a breath, feeling a little better.
She forced a smile and said, "Brother Xie, Brother Fan, thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I still hope to continue setting up my stall in the underworld. Could you please ask around for me again?"
Seeing Qin Yunie's forced smile, Fan Wujiu couldn't help but agree, "We'll go back and ask for you. You need to rest well these next few days, so just stay home and relax."
Qin Yune nodded: "Okay. Thank you, Brother Fan. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Xie Bi'an glanced at her and said, "Then let's go back to the underworld. It's not about work; we can't stay in the mortal realm for too long."
Qin Yune smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cook you something delicious to thank you when I feel better!"
After she finished speaking, she paused as if she had thought of something, and added, "Even if I can't continue to set up a stall in the underworld, you can come to my house and I'll cook for you."
Before Fan Wujiu could say anything, Xie Bi'an said, "We will try our best to help you get it."
Qin Yunie was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously thanked him.
The next second, Xie Bi'an suddenly said, "The braised pork is quite delicious."
Qin Yunie was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that Xie Bi'an would like braised pork. She nodded in agreement.
After Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu left, Qin Yunie also had some free time.
This was the first time she had such a free time since she came back.
After getting up leisurely, she made herself a hearty breakfast.
After breakfast, she stepped out of her room, gazing at the lush trees and fields full of wildflowers in the distance. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the fresh air, mixed with the scents of flowers and trees, brought her an unprecedented sense of peace.
"Yu Nie, you're home?"
Qin Yune opened her eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. She saw it was Aunt Wang, whose face was full of smiles as she called out, "Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang raised her hand slightly and waved it, causing the vegetables tied with straw vines to sway. "I noticed you haven't left the house for the past two days, so I came to see what was wrong and brought you some vegetables from my own garden. Why is your face so pale? Are you tired?"
"I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go out." Qin Yune quickly stepped forward and took the things from her hands. "You worked so hard to grow these; you can eat them yourself, but you brought them to me."
Aunt Wang kept muttering, "You can earn money anytime, but once you ruin your health, no amount of money can make up for it. Don't think that just because you're young you can take your health for granted."
“These are all homegrown vegetables, without any of those weird pesticides. I figured you’d almost finished with the vegetables I sent you last time, so I picked some more and brought them over. Vegetables outside are treated with all sorts of growth hormones and pesticides from the very beginning of planting. No way can you feel safe eating homegrown vegetables.”
Hearing Aunt Wang's concerned words, Qin Yune's nose tingled with emotion. "I know."
She brought a stool for Aunt Wang, saying, "Aunt Wang, please sit down."
Seeing Qin Yune's appearance, Aunt Wang couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Wang isn't a talkative person, but everyone in the village cares about you. Tell me, why didn't you stay in the big city to work after graduation and suddenly came back to the village? Is it because that family treated you badly?"
Qin Yunie thought about her past life and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I've just figured it out. I'm just an ordinary person, earning money with my own hands. Even if it's little, I'm happy spending it. As they say, there's no place like home. The village is my home, and wherever my home is, that's where I'll be."
Qin Yunie felt that the suffering she had endured was all in the past, and there was no need to talk about it to elicit sympathy.
All she wants to do now is make money; nothing else matters.
But in Aunt Wang's eyes, it was as if Qin Yunie had been wronged at that family's house.
Aunt Wang knew that children who hadn't received love from their families since childhood would be more sensitive than others, but Qin Yune's character had always been resilient. For her to make up her mind to return to the village and say such things, she must have suffered a great deal of grievance.
When she first learned that she had biological parents, the little girl smiled and said to the uncles and aunts in the village, "When I have money, I will take them to the city to play."
As a result, after only a few years, he didn't bring much when he went, and when he came back, besides bringing gifts for each family, he only had a small suitcase.
As soon as they got back, they didn't even have time to rest for a few days before they were already in a hurry to make money. It's obvious that they weren't doing well in their new home.
Otherwise, given Qin Yunie's good nature, she would never have abandoned her family and preferred to return to her hometown to work hard every day running a food truck rather than enjoy a life of luxury in the big city.
I don't have much money myself, but I still want to buy them gifts.
The more Aunt Wang looked at Qin Yune, the more affectionate she became; what a pitiful child.
Her adoptive parents died early, and her biological parents didn't care for her. She must have suffered a lot of injustices these past few years.
When Aunt Wang thought of this, she felt a lump in her throat, as if her own daughter had been wronged in someone else's home and had come back to cry silently. She felt extremely sad.
She didn't know how to comfort Qin Yunie, but she felt that she couldn't get over it if she didn't do something. So she looked around and remembered that the land in her backyard hadn't been tilled. She quickly rolled up her sleeves and said, "I passed by yesterday and saw that the land in your backyard hadn't been tilled yet. Since I'm here today, I'll help you till those two plots in the backyard and plant some vegetables. You can't even finish eating them all by yourself."
Qin Yunie was unaware of what Aunt Wang was thinking. She was pondering Aunt Wang's words and felt that it was a good idea to tidy up the backyard when she saw Aunt Wang get up and start working.
Qin Yunie originally wanted to help tidy up the backyard, but Aunt Wang refused, saying she was unwell and needed to rest.
Having no other choice, she went into the kitchen and made a pot of soup to cool her down and relieve the summer heat, then took it to Aunt Wang.
Then I started making lunch.
Before she could finish cooking, Aunt Wang came in. "Yu Nie, the soil in the backyard has been turned over. These are bok choy seedlings. They grow very fast. You can use them to make soup or stir-fry them. These are also cowpeas, corn, and tomatoes. Just plant them according to your plan. If you don't know how, I'll come over and teach you another day. I'll head back now."
After saying that, he put the seeds on the stool, turned around and left.
Qin Yune quickly put down what she was holding and chased after her, "Auntie, eat before you go back!"
Aunt Wang waved her hand, "No need, I'm in a hurry to go back and cook for your uncle."
In the time it took to speak, she had already walked quite a distance, as if on a whirlwind.
Qin Yune was both amused and exasperated, so she went back to the kitchen, cooked the dishes, and sent some to Aunt Wang's house.
Qin Yunie stayed at home for two more days. During these two days, she used the seeds that Aunt Wang had given her and planted them according to Aunt Wang's instructions. After finishing her work, she had some free time.
