Qin Xiao felt sad and angry after hearing Ji Xia's words. What did he mean by "Except you, no one outside will pose a threat to me"? In Ji Xia's eyes, who was he?
Weren't they husband and wife? Husband and wife were one, so what did she take him for?
Qin Xiao looked at her quietly, her shadow was reflected in his eyes as deep as a cold pond, and she smiled sweetly. Qin Xiao had a lot to say in his heart, but he also knew that for someone as determined as Ji Xia, it would be impossible to change her mind just by talking.
But even so, if couples don't communicate, life will only get worse.
Maybe there is a saying that is true, people who understand you don’t need explanations, explanations are the most useless things, but expressing love is different. If love is not said or expressed, how can the other person know it?
Even if two people are together for a long time, do they have to spend all their time and energy every day guessing each other's feelings?
It's not a TV show.
"Xia Xia, it's not you!" Qin Xiao pinched her shoulders and said.
"Hmm?" Ji Xia was puzzled and turned her head to look at him. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, which made Qin Xiao think of the time when they made love, when she would look at him with a pair of pitiful, pleading eyes. Every time at that time, he would have the urge to crush her.
She didn't know that the more she did this, the less likely he would forgive her.
They were so close and happy in bed, but as soon as he left her body, she would become a very independent person and it would be difficult for him to see into her heart.
"I will never hurt you, and I hope that when you think about them, you won't put me in the same category as them." Qin Xiao said seriously and pleadingly.
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that at this time, Qin Xiao was still concerned about what was happening between them. Shouldn't he be concerned about what they were about to do?
Ji Xia said "hmm" and didn't take it too seriously. She has never been the kind of person who would die for love. In fact, she has never thought that one day there would be a man in her heart.
Qin Xiao is her husband and they have a marriage certificate, so it is natural for them to do some things between husband and wife. She has to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife, has physical needs, and does not dislike Qin Xiao.
She had no plans to consider anything else for the time being.
Qin Xiao knew that she didn't take it to heart and was very upset, but he didn't blame Ji Xia. When he wanted to marry her in the first place, he used the excuse that it was just for cooperation.
As for regret, it's not that he doesn't have any regrets, but as long as Ji Xia can marry him, he thinks any method will work.
In the afternoon, she asked Qin Xiao to take her to the county town. Qin Xiao went to do his work first. Ji Xia found Chen Dadong and asked him to inform Mr. Qiao San that she wanted to meet with him.
It was still the same place, on the open space east of Bing County. There was light snow falling from the sky. Before four o'clock, it was already dark, like a pot lid covering the earth.
Mr. Qiao San came early. It was a very cold day, almost ten degrees below zero. If the family was not well-off and had warm clothes at home, no one would be willing to go out.
Mr. Qiao Sanye made a fortune last time. When he heard that he was going to meet Ji Xia, he brought a lot of good things with him, including thirty large yellow croakers and thirty small yellow croakers, which were used as a tribute to Ji Xia.
There are two large trays on the open space, one tray is filled with cotton and the other tray is full of wool. These two trays are the most scarce supplies on the market. It is almost time to hibernate in the winter, and the cotton can be used to keep warm, and so can the wool.
When Mr. Qiao San saw the two trays of supplies, he was practically drooling and wanted to kneel down to Ji Xia. "Sister Xia, if you give us any orders, we will go through fire and water. If anyone dares to say no, I will kill him!"
The gang under him wanted to roll their eyes. With so many supplies and a life of luxury following Sister Xia, who would dare not listen to her? Could they beat her?
"Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, I want two large ocean-going cargo ships to be at my disposal. Can you get them? And find a few people who are good at swimming. If something happens, they may lose their lives." Ji Xia said.
Mr. Qiao guessed something. After all, Sister Xia didn't get so much stuff, so there must be a source for it.
Mr. Qiao lowered his voice and said, "Sister Xia, do you need to bring your weapons?"
Ji Xia didn't expect that they had weapons. It seemed that those who could get into the black market were all very capable. "If you have any, bring them along."
"Okay, Sister Xia, don't worry. Sister Xia's business is my business." said Mr. Qiao San.
Ji Xia asked, "What kind of compensation will you give if you lose your life?"
Third Master Qiao said, "Don't worry, Sister Xia. There are definitely risks in our line of work. If you get caught, you'll definitely be shot. As long as you don't betray the big guys, your family will definitely support you. Even if you die at the hands of your enemies, it's still the same. After all, we're all brothers. Usually your family will give you a hundred or two hundred yuan. If you have any other difficulties, I'll try my best to help."
When Ji Xia saw that none of the people he brought with him questioned what Mr. Qiao San said, and they all looked as if they were used to it, he knew that what Mr. Qiao San said was right.
"Anyone who follows me on this voyage, if any are killed or injured, will receive a compensation ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. Anyone who manages to return will also be treated generously, with a reward ranging from 200 to 1,000 yuan. If anyone no longer wishes to follow the Third Master, I can arrange for a regular job in the city."
Ji Xia believed that among these people, there would be no one who would be lazy or take shortcuts, as such people would have died long ago in the repeated missions.
Mr. Qiao Sanye's eyes lit up and he decided to go by himself. If he could come back alive, he would be willing to retire and let Ji Xia arrange a job for him.
"Third Master, don't even think about it. I have other plans!" Ji Xia saw through his thoughts and said in a cold voice.
Third Master Qiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I want to follow Sister Xia and serve her at her beck and call."
"This batch of goods consists of one ton of wool and one ton of cotton. I don't want more. Just give me 35,000 yuan." Ji Xia stretched out his hand to Mr. Qiao Sanye.
“Yes, yes!”
Without saying a word, Mr. Qiao San took out five thousand yuan and gave it to Ji Xia. Ji Xia took the money and left. As soon as she left, Mr. Qiao San and others almost cheered.
You know, such clean and fluffy cotton is simply not available on the market. They have also never seen such wool yarns of varying thicknesses and colors, evenly dyed in various colors and of such high quality.
In this era, every household is indeed short of money, but what is truly lacking is not money, but supplies.
Everything related to life is missing.
The market price of cotton is one yuan and twenty cents per pound, but you need a cotton ticket. If you don't have a ticket, the price will double. As for wool, it's a luxury item. One pound of wool is almost equivalent to an ordinary worker's monthly salary, and there is still a high price but no demand.
How could Mr. Qiao Sanye not be happy? People in their line of work don't worry about sales, but about the supply of goods.
Ji Xia asked him to arrange the boat, and Mr. Qiao San was very happy. He felt that he was one step closer to Sister Xia. In short, he had become Sister Xia's man.
