Chapter 225: At least she's pretty
“Tsk!”
Qin Xiao also spat to the side: "Damn, when we came out, we looted a lot of medicinal herbs and money in the house, and even two silver bracelets!"
"There are more than 500 of them, big and small."
Jiang Wanwan didn't understand: "It's only a few days' journey from your home to here. Even if you were chased on the road and needed to hide, you wouldn't be so miserable that you wouldn't even look like a human being, right?"
Qin Xiao also paused again.
She beat her chest and stamped her feet, grabbing her hair and pulling it hard: "What a hateful brainless bastard. It was our first time taking a train. We both had standing tickets and could only wander around to rest. This bastard got on the train and met a group of people playing poker."
"You know, the Qin family is very strict in controlling children. He had never touched this before, and the first time he got involved in this, he got stuck."
"I won a couple of times at first, but then I started losing, and I lost everything except my fucking pants!"
"I had to hide my clothes and exchange them with someone else. His clothes were all lost by himself. He played cards while trying to avoid the inspectors on the train. We ran like rats in a sewer. At the worst time, we squeezed into the train toilet for two hours and drove the inspector away."
Perhaps it was because of the weather, Jiang Wanwan's eyes flickered, and she saw purple resentment growing upwards like seaweed above Qin Xiaoye's head.
Qin Xiaoye: "Do you know how smelly the toilet is in this season? It's so smelly that I can't even open my eyes. I was dragged by him and had to hide everywhere. Guess what, he's still reluctant to hide in the toilet with me!"
"He actually has the nerve to dislike me!!"
Qin Xiao also recalled what happened on the train. He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints creaked. He wished he could pull Qin Botang's head off and use it as a ball, or put it under the clock as a pendulum.
He shook it back and forth, hoping to shake out the water in his head.
Jiang Wanwan patted her shoulder to comfort her and calm her down: "Why did you give him the money you had on you?"
Qin Xiao was even more angry, his teeth clenched and he said, "Do I look that stupid?"
"I have money to eat and drink well, but seeing that he is so unlucky that he can only eat two taels of peanuts, how can I give him money?"
Jiang Wanwan was even more curious: "Then why are you doing so badly?"
"He showed off everywhere and everyone knew we were rich. I don't know when my silver bracelet and money were stolen by a pickpocket. Fortunately, the train station is not far from the military area, so we were able to get here before we starved to death." Qin Xiao was so hungry that he pulled a cucumber from the basket, casually removed the thorns on it, stuffed it into his mouth and started to eat it with a crunch.
After just two bites, Qin Xiao was so moved by the delicious food that tears welled up in her eyes: "It's so damn delicious."
"Qin Botang is just a dog. If I didn't think he was useful, I would have sold him off to a beggar. It's so damn infuriating."
Jiang Wanwan was also very moved after hearing this. After picking coriander, she took Qin Xiaoye to pick peppers.
"I heard that he is a great doctor and the heir of the pharmacy. How could it be..."
Jiang Wanwan had never met Qin Botang, so she really couldn't guess why this person was so different from the person she imagined... so different?
Qin Xiao also finished a cucumber, at least she had something in her stomach. She looked at the stars in the sky and said, "The Qin family has strict rules. You've seen a puppet show, right? Qin Botang and I are like the puppets in it. I'm better because I'm a girl and the rules are not that strict."
"What Qin Botang has seen and heard since he was a child were all set by Grandpa Qin. In the Qin family, he is not like a person, but more like a tool to inherit the family."
Talking about his childhood, Qin Xiao also said with melancholy: "He had to learn a lot of things since he was young. Learning medicine was hard, needless to say. Let's talk about learning calligraphy. In winter, it was freezing rainy, and there was a half-person-high vat in the yard. Grandpa asked him to write calligraphy with the water in the big vat. He liked Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, but Grandpa didn't like it and forced him to practice Jiucheng Palace calligraphy."
"He was beaten when he was young, but gradually he stopped being beaten... Later on, he didn't know what he should like or what he could like."
Qin Xiao also sighed, and pulled out another cucumber and bit into it: "Why do you think he would marry me when I have given birth to a child outside?"
"Do you think he's willing?"
"He didn't have a choice at all."
"But! This is not an excuse for him to come out and play cards and cause me to be like this, bastard. Sooner or later, I will get rid of this anger."
Jiang Wanwan threw the chili peppers into the basket, and the chili peppers hit the coriander inside, pressing it down.
"We in the Jiang family also have a tradition, but my father never forced us to learn it. I was fine. My mother didn't love me much when I was young, so I followed my father around everywhere. Jiang Jun is a boy, and he liked to tease cats and dogs since he was young. He never forced Jiang Jun to learn to appraise treasures."
When talking about Jiang Beiwang, Jiang Wanwan would smile like a little girl: "He is good at appraising treasures, but he is not good at making peach wood swords. But Jiang Jun likes it, so he stayed up all night to make it under the kerosene lamp. He almost had dark circles under his eyes drooping to the corners of his mouth."
Qin Xiao was also really envious: "You guys are so lucky, you met good parents."
Time passed quickly while they were talking. Jiang Wanwan picked all the pickled vegetables and went back to the house with Qin Xiao.
The lights were on in the room. When Jiang Wanwan and Qin Xiaoye went to the garden, Qin Botang was left alone. Now there were two more people.
Shen Xingjiang came back and brought Jiang Jun back with him.
My brother-in-law and brother-in-law were sitting at the door of the living room dining table. Qin Botang was sitting opposite them. Shen Xingjiang's clothes were a little too big for him, but he had a well-proportioned body and long legs. He rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and had an indescribable demeanor.
Qin Botang had taken a quick shower, his hair slightly damp, and he secretly used Shen Xingjiang's razor blade to shave his beard. He used another man's thing without permission, and when he was shaving, Shen Xingjiang came back and was caught red-handed. In his excitement, he had a two-centimeter-long cut on his chin.
Qin Botang hurriedly washed and dried the blade and put it back, then sat down at the table very stiffly.
Shen Xingjiang and Jiang Jun looked at him.
Especially Jiang Jun, who is young and not a careful person, stares at people.
Qin Botang felt that although his appearance was not as delicate and imposing as Shen Xingjiang opposite him, he was still quite pretty after all. Suddenly appearing in his house and using his razor, he was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he pretended to clear his throat and took the initiative to make peace.
“Comrade Shen, I came here with Qin Xiaoye. Your wife went to the garden to pick vegetables. I…I don’t have any improper thoughts about her. I hope you don’t think too much about it.”
Qin Botang is a genuine southerner who seldom goes out. His skin is so white that you could pinch water out of it, and he speaks in a rather literary manner.
Jiang Jun was amused by his frightened look and burst out laughing. He walked over to him and touched his chin.
In the afternoon, Jiang Jun went to the mountains to catch pheasants with people from Shen Xingjiang's army. Just a few minutes after entering the house, he felt a slight coolness on his fingertips, like spring water in early winter.
Qin Botang was startled: "What are you doing?"
