In Qin Feiyang's mind, he had only been separated from Qin Hanshu for a few years, so his feelings were not as complicated as Qin Hanshu's; he was only happy and excited.
He reached out and patted Qin Hanshu's shoulder and arm a few times, just grinning without saying a word.
Qin Hanshu finally couldn't hold back and hugged Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang had a faint smell of sweat, which wasn't pleasant, but Qin Hanshu felt at ease.
The brother and sister had been close since childhood, but Qin Hanshu was a grown woman after all. Qin Feiyang was stunned for a moment before carefully helping Qin Hanshu away and looking down at her.
"What's wrong? Is life in the countryside too hard?"
Seeing his younger sister's red nose, Qin Feiyang gently tugged at it, just like when they were little. "Look how wronged she looks." With that, he pulled Qin Hanshu into the room.
"Brother..." Qin Hanshu didn't want to say anything at this moment, she just wanted to keep calling him brother.
In front of Qin Feiyang, she transformed back into a true teenage girl.
Qin Feiyang cooperated with her, responding to her calls.
They lingered like that for a while before starting to share their lives with each other.
"...I had a good time in Haowan Village during my time as an educated youth; the Zhou family treated me very well."
Qin Feiyang nodded and said, "Zhou Weiguang is my superior, but we've known each other for many years."
As he spoke, Zhou Weiguang began to inquire about family matters, "How is Aunt? I wrote to her, but I don't know if she's coming or not, and I haven't heard back yet."
Qin Hanshu remained silent for a while before giving a brief account of what had happened that year.
From the time Hu Dayong forced her to go to the countryside to work as an educated youth, until Hu Dayong was executed.
Qin Feiyang was furious. He said, "Why would my sister go to the countryside all of a sudden? It turns out that the butcher was behind it!"
Even hearing that Hu Dayong was dead could not quell his anger.
"Where is your aunt? Is she just standing by and doing nothing?!"
Qin Hanshu thought for a moment and then revealed her wrist.
The marks from the wrist-cutting have faded very much thanks to the water in the space, and they will definitely disappear completely in time.
However, Qin Feiyang's shock and anger did not diminish in the slightest even as the traces faded.
He paced back and forth anxiously, panting heavily, before finally snapping and kicking the coffee table over, yelling, "Fuck him!!!"
"I'm going to kill the entire Hu family!"
Qin Hanshu pulled Qin Feiyang down to sit, lifted the coffee table, checked it, and found it wasn't broken.
"Hu Dayong is dead."
Qin Feiyang tugged at his military uniform collar, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at a certain spot. After a long while, he said, "These past few years, you haven't had a good time, have you? Why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Hanshu lowered her head and could only say, "Maybe it's because I didn't want you to worry."
Qin Feiyang looked at his sister in silence for a while, then said, "You can't do this again. If anything happens, you must tell me. I'm your brother, and I can protect you from the wind and rain."
Qin Hanshu nodded repeatedly.
"Hu Dayong is dead. What about the rest of the Hu family? And what about Yang Aizhen?"
Qin Hanshu answered them one by one.
Qin Feiyang gritted his teeth and said, "Retribution! Serves you right!"
Remembering that Yang Aizhen was Qin Hanshu's biological mother, Qin Feiyang looked at her with some concern, "Aunt Yang......"
For a moment, he didn't know what to call him.
Qin Hanshu laughed and said, "I've died once, and I no longer have any motherly feelings for Yang Aizhen."
Qin Feiyang asked, "What if she comes looking for you to take care of her in her old age? What will you do then?"
It would be disgusting to accept her as one's mother out of societal pressure.
Qin Hanshu shook his head and said, "Even if Old Lady Hu dies one day and she manages to escape, it will be many years later. By then, she might not even know where I am."
"In short, I will not give her the opportunity to use our mother-daughter relationship to blackmail me."
Qin Hanshu's coldness and hard-heartedness at this moment must have been the result of countless grievances and hardships.
Qin Feiyang felt even more sorry for his younger sister.
The atmosphere was too heavy, and Qin Hanshu didn't want to let the past affect her mood any further.
She changed the subject, saying, "Brother, what kind of person is your wife? Tell me about her."
