267 The Rabbit in One Pot
Qi Lianxin didn't know whether Gao Qinghe was asleep or not.
She stayed awake all night anyway.
From two o'clock in the morning until dawn, Qi Lianxin tossed and turned in bed, not daring to close his eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the red light rising into the sky from Qin Jianshe's house would appear before her eyes.
The red light made people's faces red, and under the influence of light and shadow, they looked distorted like ghosts.
She was scared, so scared that she covered her head with a quilt in the middle of summer, and a sense of foreboding kept welling up in her heart.
It was not until Jiang Baohai left the house in the morning that Qi Lianxin rubbed his sore eyes and got up to prepare breakfast for his daughter-in-law.
Doing something to divert his attention, Qilianxin's inexplicable panic finally subsided a little.
But just as she was lighting the stove, a furtive call suddenly reached her ears.
My son went out early in the morning, my daughter-in-law is still sleeping, and my youngest daughter is preparing for her final exams at school.
The yard was quiet, with only the sound of my own breathing in front of the stove.
The sudden soft call in the silence startled Qi Lianxin, who was already a little dazed because of not sleeping all night.
She moved tremblingly to the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw the seven or eight familiar faces outside the gate, her heart, which had been panicking all night, finally found the source.
Qi Lianxin turned around and tried to pretend that he couldn't see it.
"Sister, you have to save me!"
Qi Laoer reached through the hollow decorative hole on the iron gate and grabbed Qi Lianxin's hand.
The man in his early forties had red eyes and burst into tears.
Behind him were his second brother and his wife, hugging their two children, and Qi Laosan and his wife, who were also with their children.
The fact that the banker had run away could no longer be concealed, and villagers in every village who had participated in buying the banker were looking for someone to return their money.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two brothers of the Qi family quickly fled with their wives and children overnight.
At this moment, everyone had disheveled hair and messy clothes, and was carrying large and small bags on their backs, just like refugees fleeing from a disaster.
When Qi Lianxin saw this group of people, he was completely stunned.
She couldn't figure it out, or perhaps she didn't dare to think about it, so she didn't understand why her two younger brothers came to town.
So he asked blankly: "Why should I save you?"
Qi Lao San said in a panic, "Sister, the farmer has run away! The villagers are looking for him everywhere to pay back the money. They're going after the big farmers and the small farmers one by one. If they can't pay, they're moving all the valuables out of the house. If they can't move, they're smashing everything. Raise your knives, they're going to kill!"
"I'm going to die, big sister, please save me. Can we hide here for a while until the storm is over?" Qi Lao San's wife begged bitterly.
The older of the two children vaguely understood that something had happened at home, and looked at his aunt with pleading eyes.
The little one was still confused and just curled up in his parents' arms, looking curiously at the magnificent iron gate in front of him.
Qi Lianxin suddenly felt a dazzling light flash before his eyes, and he forced himself to question them:
"Didn't we all just start as individual investors and buy a small business? Who among you is going to be the big boss?"
Qi Lao Er, the second son's wife, and Qi Lao San all looked at the third son's wife.
The third daughter-in-law lowered her head in regret. She admitted her mistake. That’s all!
"It's all my maternal brother and sister-in-law's fault. They said that our families had already pooled together more than 4,000 yuan, so why not find a few more people to pool together the remaining 10,000 yuan and let me open a big farm and invite more families to join. Everything was fine before, but who would have thought that they would run away and my own money is gone. I am also a victim."
We clearly agreed on this before entering the village, so if anything goes wrong, we will be responsible for it ourselves.
But when something really happened, they all forgot what they had said before. What's the point of looking for these big dealers if they can't find the dealer?
It wasn't her who cheated everyone's money, so how could she be blamed for the scam!
"It's something we both agreed to, so why are you all asking me for money now? Wuwuwu..."
The third son's wife started crying as she spoke, and the more she cried, the sadder she became, and the louder she cried.
Ren Lijuan, who lived next door, asked in confusion from the yard, "Lian Xin? Sister-in-law? Who's here?"
Seeing that the door of the fourth house next door was about to open, Qi Lianxin quickly opened the door and let Qi Laoer and others in first.
Knowing that their two families were a source of trouble, Qi Lao Er and Qi Lao San moved cautiously and glared at the children not to let them make any noise.
The second and third daughters-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the large yard curiously, and asked in a low voice:
"Big sister, Bao Hai and Xiao Yu are not at home?"
This reminded Qi Lianxin. She looked at her pitiful nephews and worried about how to explain to her son and daughter-in-law.
To tell the truth, she can no longer hide the fact that she bought the casino.
Even if you tell a lie, things have developed to this point and you can't fool anyone.
There was no way out either way, so Qilian made up his mind and decided to let his son scold him. It was now time and he had to tell the truth.
He shook his head at his two younger siblings, not daring to let them into the hall for fear of waking up Gao Qinghe who was still sleeping.
Qi Lianxin pointed to the kitchen and asked them to come in and sit down first.
Xiao Hei lay in the doghouse, staring at the strangers with a fierce look. Seeing that they did not enter the hall, he just gave a warning growl but did not bark.
Qi Lao Er patted his chest and said anxiously: "Sister, your dog doesn't bite people, right?"
Qi Lianxin: "Don't provoke it and it won't bite."
Qi Lao San glanced at Xiao Hei warily and asked, "How about tying it up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lianxin rejected him, "No, that's Xiaohe's baby. I raise him like a human being. He understands human nature, and there's no one else in the yard."
In Qi Lianxin's opinion, Xiao Hei only needs to be tied up when strangers come.
We are all family here, so there is no need to let Xiao Hei down.
The two families had no choice but to remind their children to stay away from the dog to avoid being bitten.
We walked all night, and as soon as we sat down, the younger children fell asleep on the table.
My two younger siblings helped to make breakfast, and we all ate our fill in the kitchen, finally feeling a little relieved.
Qi Lao Er and his younger brother looked at each other, then looked at Qi Lian Xin with some embarrassment.
"Sister, what do you say when Xiao Hai comes back?"
Qi Lianxin had specifically warned Jiang Baohai not to know about their purchase of the farm.
But they are going to live here next, and it is impossible to hide it without saying it.
The two Qi brothers were a little afraid of their nephew Jiang Baohai.
The big boss is very powerful and ruthless. If he knew that they were bringing their eldest sister to buy the farm, he would definitely kick them all out.
Qi Lianxin couldn't help sighing when he saw his two younger brothers looking so cowardly. He also sat down and said worriedly:
"What do you mean? Just say it as you should."
What else can we do? Let’s get scolded together!
Just as I was feeling worried in the kitchen, several children playing in the yard suddenly ran in.
"What's wrong?" Qi Lao San asked in panic.
Several children hid behind their mother and pointed at the pregnant woman walking into the yard.
Qi Lianxin and her siblings looked over and froze when they saw Gao Qinghe appear at the door.
How do you describe that scene?
Nine people, big and small, were crowded in the small kitchen. Their faces had similarities, and it was obvious that they were a big family.
The whole family huddled together, like rabbits that had been discovered and killed by hunters.
