Liu Qing bumped into Xiao Weiguo with her shoulder, then turned around and dragged her sister's arm towards home.
It was as if she didn't want to say another word to him.
"Hey kid, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Weiguo shone his flashlight on the siblings and craned his neck to ask.
Liu Qing turned around, her face showing disgust.
"Stay away from my sister from now on. You're not welcome in our house. Get out of here."
Liu Ye's expression tightened, and she pushed her younger brother with her hand.
"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"
Ignoring everything else, Liu Qing dragged her sister's arm and headed home.
"Didn't I tell you not to hang out with him? It's so late and you're still with him."
Xiao Weiguo realized that this person had a problem with him.
Haha, that's interesting. This little brat has even learned how to break up a couple.
In the past, I've seen vicious mothers-in-law, stubborn fathers-in-law, scheming sister-in-laws, and so on in time-travel novels, but I've never seen a brother-in-law like this before.
Kid, I'm a reincarnated person, are you trying to give me experience points?
Xiao Weiguo stopped and called out to Liu Qing, "Hey, Liu Qing, what did I do to offend you?"
Liu Ye tried desperately to pull her arm back, but Liu Qing was still young and couldn't drag her older sister away no matter how hard she tried.
He turned around angrily and roared at Xiao Weiguo.
"Don't you know what kind of person you are? You're dreaming if you think you can seduce my sister."
Xiao Weiguo wasn't annoyed; instead, he leaned closer with a grin.
"Then tell me, what kind of person am I? I really don't know."
Liu Qing's neck turned red with anger as she glared at Xiao Weiguo.
"You beat and scold your younger siblings every day, everyone knows that, right? Just wait until Xiao Jian comes back and kills you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo's heart stirred.
I know I was right to hit and scold my younger siblings in the past.
However, only Xiao Jian knew the words he said before leaving—that he would kill him—and he hadn't even told his younger sister, Xiao Shanshan.
How did Liu Qing find out?
There is only one possibility, and that is that Xiao Jian told him himself.
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Weiguo felt a surge of excitement.
Xiao Jian and Liu Qing were best friends since childhood, practically inseparable during their school years. After Xiao Jian ran away from home, the only person he could possibly keep in touch with was this young Liu Qing.
Xiao Weiguo remained calm and continued to probe.
"Ha, isn't that ridiculous? Xiao Jian is my own brother, how could he kill me? Where did you hear this news and come here spouting nonsense?"
"Where did I lie? It's..."
At this point, Liu Qing seemed to suddenly realize something, and swallowed the rest of her words.
"Just you wait, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later."
Xiao Weiguo smiled wryly to himself; this kid was quite clever. However, based on his performance just now, he was even more certain that Liu Qing and Xiao Jian were connected.
Xiao Weiguo was naturally excited to hear news about his younger brother, but he knew in his heart that Liu Qing wouldn't tell him right now.
This matter cannot be rushed; we can only proceed step by step. First, we need to gain this kid's trust before we can get the whereabouts of Xiao Jian out of him.
Just then, a beam of light shone from Liu Ye's house.
"Who is it? What are you making a racket at the door so late?"
Judging from the voice, Xiao Weiguo knew that the person who came out was Liu Ye's father, Liu Erzhu, who had been buying socks for them.
"Uncle, it's me."
Xiao Weiguo raised his hand and waved to Liu Erzhu from a distance.
Upon seeing him, Liu Erzhu quickened his pace and walked up to Xiao Weiguo. He waved to him and said, "It's you. I just happened to have something to discuss with you. Since you're here, let's go inside and talk."
Liu Erzhu works in the county town, which is far from home. He works from dawn till dusk every day and rarely has the opportunity to hear the various rumors and gossip in the village.
In addition, Xiao Weiguo had a good relationship with Liu Ye when they were young and often visited his home, so Liu Ye always had a good impression of Xiao Weiguo.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so supportive of his daughter selling socks with him.
There were some people who were gossiping about him.
But during this time, Xiao Weiguo had steadily earned several thousand yuan for his family, which was equivalent to several years' salary for Liu Erzhu. This made Liu Erzhu have a much better impression of Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo turned sideways and walked past Liu Qing, pointing at Liu Erzhu's back.
"Hehe, your dad let me in."
As he spoke, he followed Liu Erzhu into the main room in a flash.
Liu Ye smiled and lowered her head, pursing her lips as she walked into the house.
Only Liu Qing stood there, panting heavily with anger.
He stood with his hands on his hips, watching Xiao Weiguo flash by, muttering to himself.
"Hmph, just wait, it'll be soon, you'll be soon."
Liu Ye's home is much more spacious than Xiao Wei's.
The three large brick houses were kept clean and tidy. In the main room, there were two single sofas, which made a creaking sound when you sat on them.
Liu Ye poured a glass of boiled water for her father and Xiao Weiguo and placed it on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa.
"Weiguo, have a smoke."
Liu Erzhu picked up the Hongtashan cigarettes from the coffee table and handed them to Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo quickly took out his special-supply cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Liu Erzhu.
"Uncle, please smoke this one."
He deliberately held the cigarette pack between two fingers, exposing most of it to Liu Erzhu's eyes.
Sure enough, Liu Erzhu took out a cigarette and held it in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the cigarette pack in his hand.
"Hey, what kind of cigarettes are these? Why are they wrapped in white paper?"
Xiao Weiguo took out a match and lit Liu Erzhu's cigarette.
