Chapter 271 Feeling down and needing to eat.
Whether it was Shi Lei's personality that Qin Xiaoxiao disliked, or her dislike of the male lead as a cannon fodder female supporting character, Qin Xiaoxiao felt annoyed whenever she saw Shi Lei. She was already in a bad mood because of Yu Shitou's accidental death, and this only made things worse.
Looking at his wife, who was radiating coldness, Su Lu couldn't help but start to examine himself, wondering if he had done something wrong to upset her.
Qin Erzhu felt a chill run down his spine as he stood next to Qin Xiaoxiao; the April weather felt like the dead of winter, making him shiver.
Glancing at Su Lu beside him, Qin Erzhu felt that he might be too close to Su Lu, which displeased Qin Xiaoxiao, so he quietly moved two steps to the side.
Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and realized she was being possessed. Miao Feifei was dead, so what did it matter to her whether Shi Lei was good or bad? She wasn't going to live with him, and he wasn't her family. At worst, she could just keep her distance from him. As long as he didn't target her, she could still greet him with a smile.
The cold air around him instantly returned, and Qin Erzhu on the other side clearly felt the warmth return.
Qin Erzhu secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He was right; he was indeed too close to his brother.
My sister-in-law really loves her brother! She won't even let any other man get close to him.
Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao had a good position; they stood directly opposite the Yu family's gate, even stepping on the threshold of the neighbor's house. With Su Lu's height, they could see everything clearly.
However, Qin Xiaoxiao was quite resentful because she was not tall enough, only reaching Su Lu's neck, and had to stand on tiptoe if she wanted to watch the excitement.
Qin Erzhu was very perceptive. He turned around and went through the gate behind him without even saying a word to the host. He picked up a small stool from the yard and placed it at Qin Xiaoxiao's feet.
Qin Xiaoxiao gave Qin Erzhu a satisfied look.
This child is perceptive and easy to get along with.
Su Lu glanced at Qin Erzhu, who was trying so hard to please his wife, with a gloomy look in his eyes. He secretly took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and even deliberately raised it and waved it in front of Qin Erzhu.
No matter how good you are at handling things, she's still my wife.
Qin Erzhu was completely bewildered, but his brain capacity was insufficient, and he didn't understand what Su Lu meant. He shook his head and watched the show.
Half the village's residents had gathered in front of the Yu family's house. With so many people, it should have been bustling with noise, but at this moment, it was completely silent, as if no one was there.
When Qin Feng arrived, he immediately spotted Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu. He walked up to them, looked down, and surprisingly, didn't see any sunflower seed shells.
Qin Feng was quite gratified.
His eldest niece and nephew-in-law don't seem too unreliable; they even know it's not a good day to eat sunflower seeds.
Ignoring Su Lu's ingratiating smile, Qin Feng stepped into the Yu family's gate and quickly shook hands with Shi Lei and the old policeman who had come with him last time.
Qin Xiaoxiao was too far away to hear what the three of them were saying, but judging from their lip movements, she felt it probably wasn't anything good.
Sure enough, not long after, Shi Lei and the old policeman took several people away from the Yu family's house, and soon the sound of crying came from the Yu family's courtyard.
The cries were shrill and mournful, mixed with unspeakable hatred and regret, and Qin Xiaoxiao sighed as she listened.
If only I had known then what I know now!
If the Yu family had properly raised their children and grandchildren and hadn't been so arrogant and domineering, they wouldn't be in this situation today.
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt annoyed. She frowned slightly and tugged at Su Lu's sleeve. "Let's go back."
Su Lu thought for a moment, "Let's wait and see what they do first."
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed and rubbed her temples. "Give them more money, the child is still young."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, I'll give you whatever I think is appropriate."
You can't give too much. Everyone in the village has a few cents or two. If you give ten dollars, you're just asking for a fight!
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more and waited with Su Lu for a while. Fortunately, the Yu family didn't make them wait too long, and soon someone let the people at the door in.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu followed them into the Yu family's courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, near the well, there was a pool of blood on the ground. The bloodstains were reddish-brown and had turned somewhat black, indicating that they had been there for quite some time.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu stood and waited for a while, and then someone came up and gave the old man of the Yu family a dollar.
After someone took the lead, more and more people started giving money. Seeing this, Su Lu understood what was going on and slowly walked forward, but after taking two steps, he turned back.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked at Su Lu's ingratiating smile, "What's wrong?"
Su Lu leaned closer to Qin Xiaoxiao, feeling embarrassed, and whispered, "Wife, I'd like to apply for one yuan."
After saying that, he patted his pocket, indicating to Qin Xiaoxiao that he had no money.
Qin Erzhu, who was standing to the side, was shocked and looked at Su Lu in disbelief.
His brother has no money? How could that be? His brother has made a fortune over the years, how could he...?
Ah, his brother didn't have any money, so it could only have been given to his sister-in-law.
Qin Erzhu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.
Fortunately, he stopped himself in time and didn't let his family go to his uncle's house to propose marriage, otherwise he would be the one begging for money with his hands up in the air today.
How pathetic! You earn so much money, but in the end you have to ask your wife for every single penny you spend. What's the point?
Qin Erzhu suddenly lost interest in making money.
Su Lu: That's because you don't have a wife yet. Once you have one, you'll know the joy of making money.
Su Lu wasn't embarrassed at all by the fact that it was shameful to ask his wife for money with his hands up, but Qin Feng, standing to the side, shook his head and looked on with a disapproving expression.
The surrounding villagers were shocked to hear Su Lu asking Qin Xiaoxiao for money, and stared at him in disbelief.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu didn't feel ashamed at all. One waited with a smile for the money, while the other generously tossed a piece of paper into Su Lu's hand, saying, "Go ahead, we're all from the same village, we can't be sloppy."
“Hey!”
After taking the money, Su Lu walked over to Grandpa Yu and stuffed a dollar into his hand.
Grandpa Yu glanced down at the one yuan in his hand, really wanting to return it to Su Lu.
This kid is even poorer than him; he still has a little stash of four yuan and seventy-eight cents.
After paying, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu turned and walked out. As for the meal prepared by the Yu family, the two did not intend to eat it.
After leaving the Yu family home, the two exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.
"Honey, I'm not in a good mood. How about we go into town?"
"Honey, I'm not in a good mood either, so I agree."
The couple smiled at each other, walked out of Qinjiagou side by side, and soon entered the city.
"If you're in a bad mood, you should eat more. Let's go to my second uncle's place for a meal."
"I haven't had breakfast yet, so let's make it a date."
"After dinner, I'll go check out the supply and marketing cooperative. Spring plowing will start in a couple of days, and I can't stand it without gloves."
"I was just about to say that spring plowing is exhausting, so why don't we ask for leave?"
Do you think my uncle would grant me a fake leave?
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were deep and filled with resentment.
Su Lu thought for a moment, "I think he'll break our legs."
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No, only yours can save my leg."
Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a wronged expression, "Why should I?"
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Because I'm his niece, of course I have to be biased."
Su Lu twitched his lips. "I had completely forgotten about that."
