Qin Xiaoxiao finally understood why Old Madam Qin had become so thin; it turned out she had been sleeping for five days. No wonder.
She knew how good Old Mrs. Qin had been to her. She must have felt like each day was an eternity for her these past five days, and it must have terrified her, otherwise she wouldn't be in this state.
Qin Xiaoxiao woke up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Yue went up to Qin Xiaoxiao and kept apologizing and thanking her, making Qin Xiaoxiao want to sleep.
After drinking the milk powder, Qin Xiaoxiao felt sleepy again. At first, she didn't dare to sleep, afraid that she would fall into that dark place again and not be able to get out. But later she couldn't hold on any longer, and with Qin Yue talking beside her, she fell asleep in no time.
Qin Xiaoxiao slept straight through until midnight, when she woke up hungry.
Looking around, I saw that Grandma Qin and Qin Aiguo were resting together on the bed next to her, Ma Dahua was dozing off in a chair against the wall, Qin Ming and Qin Yue were not there, and Qin Feng was resting by her bedside.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't wake them up. They were exhausted these past few days, so she let them rest.
Using her spiritual energy to enter the space, Qin Xiaoxiao made herself a cup of spiritual spring water and drank it, finally feeling a little better.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked thoughtfully at the spiritual spring water in the space.
She drank the spiritual spring water that very day, yet she still became so ill. Could it be that this is the power of the plot?
Although she escaped drowning, she almost died from a cold and fever. If she hadn't drunk the spiritual spring water beforehand, she probably would have died here.
Fortunately, she survived another ordeal and has two more life-threatening moments left. Once she passes through all of them, she will be reborn.
For the next three days, Qin Xiaoxiao stayed in the hospital with peace of mind. Ma Dahua made soup for her with an old hen every day, and Qin Aiguo and the old lady Qin also ate it. However, Qin Xiaoxiao still couldn't find a chance to put the spiritual spring water into the chicken soup.
Through this incident, Qin Xiaoxiao made up her mind that she had to find a way to enter the Qin family's kitchen, and to do so, she had to gain the approval of Old Madam Qin.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao planned to cook a big meal when she got back, firstly to thank the Qin family for their hard work and care over the past few days, and secondly to gain the approval of Old Madam Qin, who thought that her cooking was acceptable and would allow her to freely enter and leave the kitchen in the future.
As long as she can get inside and help the old lady cook, she'll have a way to get the spiritual spring water into the Qin family's drinking water tank.
Within a month, the health of everyone in the Qin family will improve, and it is hoped that the grandfather's ailment from his time in the army will also be cured.
Three days later, Qin Xiaoxiao was officially discharged from the hospital. She took a two-hour car ride back to the county, had a meal at Qin Hai's restaurant, and then the family headed home.
Once inside the village and lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Qin Xiaoxiao felt alive again.
Next time, she will never take a car again. The road is unpaved, just a bumpy dirt road.
As soon as Ma Dahua returned, she went to the kitchen to start a fire. After being gone for more than ten days, the kang (a heated brick bed) was ice cold. If the kang wasn't heated, anyone sleeping on it would surely get sick.
After lighting the fire, Ma Dahua quickly boiled two large pots of water. After the whole family washed up, everyone's spirits began to wane, and they were all extremely sleepy.
The whole family fell asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) and didn't wake up until after 3 p.m.
After Qin Xiaoxiao woke up, she called Qin Ye over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Qin Ye frowned after hearing this, "Don't worry, I'm here."
After saying that, Qin Ye went out.
Grandma Qin curiously leaned closer to Qin Xiaoxiao and asked, "What did you say to your brother? Why does he seem angry?"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want the old lady to worry, and she was also afraid that the old lady would blame her if she found out later, so she thought for a moment and said to the old lady with a smile: "It's nothing serious. It's just that my house was burgled before. Before I left, I set up a small trap. If anyone goes in these days, they will definitely get hurt."
I just asked my brother to find out if anyone had been injured at the youth center these days, and to find out who the thief was.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin immediately became worried.
"How come another thief broke in? No, you should come home. The educated youth compound is too dangerous. It's only been six months and they've already broken in twice. What if it gets dangerous again in the future?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm fine. Besides, where would so many thieves come from? If people kept coming in, how could anyone live?"
Last time, Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi tried to harm me because they were jealous of my money. This time, someone must be desperate to survive, otherwise they would have risked their lives to steal from me.
My uncle is the brigade leader; they wouldn't easily steal from me, they're just struggling financially.
As Marx said, "Capitalists become bold when there is a suitable profit; with a 50% profit, they will take risks; for a 100% profit, they will dare to trample on all human laws; with a 300% profit, they will dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged. And what is more worrying than profit when it involves one's own life?" (Marx)
Being caught, reported to the commune, and sent to a farm is far better than losing your life, isn't it?
After listening, Old Mrs. Qin thought for a moment, "So we're just going to let this person go like that?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, saying, "Of course not. Didn't I already say that I set a small trap when I left? Anyone who goes in will definitely get hurt. Consider this a lesson for that thief."
She couldn't be a saint, but she didn't want to ruin someone's life like that. Of course, she first had to find out why this person stole things. If there were extenuating circumstances, she wouldn't mind letting him off the hook.
This illness made her suddenly realize a glimpse of the true meaning of life.
Life is only once, so cherish it and respect it. Don't easily have wicked thoughts about destroying someone, or you will soon be backfired.
Just like Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi before, if they hadn't harbored malicious intentions and wanted to kill her, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened, and there might still be a possibility between Miao Feifei and Shi Lei.
Even so, Qin Xiaoxiao planned to play the saint. As long as no one dared to target her or her family, she could turn a blind eye. But if anyone crossed her bottom line, then she would have to fight back in order to survive, which could result in serious injury or even death.
Grandma Qin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.
Her granddaughter is too kind-hearted and not ruthless enough. If it were someone else, they probably would have made a scene long ago.
Qin Ye went out for a walk and returned in a little over an hour.
He looked at Qin Xiaoxiao strangely after returning.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother? What happened?"
Qin Ye leaned closer to Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "You really did manage to catch someone by mistake."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Who is it?"
“Ma Jiahua, I asked him. He’s the only one who got injured in the educated youth compound these past few days. He injured his leg, and I heard it’s quite serious. He can’t even get out of bed.”
Qin Xiaoxiao squinted and murmured, "It really is one of them. Liu Meijuan wasn't mistaken."
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao seemed lost in thought and ignored him, Qin Ye thought for a moment, then leaned closer to Qin Xiaoxiao and whispered, "I've also found out about Ma Jiahua's matter."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she smiled so broadly her eyes were practically closed.
