After feeling smug for a while, Grandma Qin whispered to Qin Xiaoxiao, "Your three older brothers all have good taste. I'm quite satisfied with Su Yun, Xu Zhi, and Yang Tianzhen. It's just that your second brother might have to work harder in the future. I don't know what he was thinking, that he actually took a liking to Yang Tianzhen."
A fleeting look of sorrow crossed Old Mrs. Qin's eyes, which Qin Xiaoxiao, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed.
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly comforted her, "Grandma, Yang Tianzhen is actually not bad. Although she's a bit simple-minded, there's an advantage to being simple-minded. She doesn't take things to heart, and that's how people live longer."
Grandma Qin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"
Qin Xiaoxiao explained, "Grandma, think about it. There's a saying that anger is bad for your health. She doesn't take anything to heart. If you get angry with her, you'll be really upset, but she won't take it to heart at all. She'll forget about it as soon as she turns her head and will still play with you and treat you well as usual. Don't you think people like that live long lives?"
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin's lips twitched slightly.
To put it bluntly, they're just heartless!
Grandma Qin thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. I'll remember that from now on. I can't argue with her too much, and I won't get angry with her. I won't look at what I don't like. I'll stay away from her. Out of sight, out of mind."
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately smiled and said, "That's right! That's how we should live, not just with her, but with everyone."
Grandma, think about it, your grandson and granddaughter are all married now, what's there to be upset about?
Grandma Qin was open-minded to begin with, and after Qin Xiaoxiao said that, she felt that it made a lot of sense.
"You're right. From now on, I'll get angry less often, take things more lightly, and try to live a few more years."
Qin Xiaoxiao and Grandma Qin talked for a while, and then they heard Qin Yue's shouts coming from outside the courtyard.
Grandma Qin sighed, "Xiaoxiao, listen to this. How can I not be angry with your sister? She's so old and still yelling. She's never steady, like a little monkey jumping around. When will she ever grow up?"
As Grandma Qin walked out, she replied, "Alright, stop shouting. The whole village can hear you yelling. What's wrong? Did you find something good?"
Qin Xiaoxiao followed her out, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Qin Yue excitedly running into the yard carrying a pheasant. She rushed to Old Mrs. Qin's side, holding the pheasant high up to show it to her.
"Look, Grandma, it's a pheasant."
Grandma Qin was so angry she wanted to hit her, but remembering that her eldest granddaughter had just advised her, she suppressed her anger. "It's just a pheasant. It's not like we've never eaten one before. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Qin Yue's eyes lit up. "Grandma, no, it wasn't. My sister-in-law hunted it."
Grandma Qin was taken aback when she heard this, and then she thought of Xu Zhi.
"Your third sister-in-law hunted it?"
Qin Yue nodded excitedly, "That's right, my third sister-in-law is really amazing. She just threw a pebble and the pheasant fell from the sky. I wish I could be like her."
Qin Yue felt a little regretful, but secretly she was envious.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something.
In the fifth book, Qin Yue was naughty since childhood and insisted on joining the army when she grew up. Her family disagreed, but she went and signed up on her own and even passed the physical examination. Her family only found out that she had signed up after the enlistment notice came down.
The notice had been issued, and people had to leave. No matter how powerful the Qin family was, they couldn't stop the country from conscripting soldiers. So Qin Yue happily joined the army and left. She didn't return for several years, and there wasn't even a word from her. Even Qin Aiguo used all his resources but couldn't find her. The Qin family thought Qin Yue was dead. Qin's grandmother cried so much that she went blind. Qin Hai and Sun Zhirou fell seriously ill. After they recovered, the two became much more silent.
The book also mentions at the end why Qin Yue didn't return: she went on a special mission that was long and demanding, and she only had single-line contact with her superiors, which is why her whereabouts were kept secret.
Ten years later, Qin Yue returned from her mission. Qin Ye stayed in Qinjiagou because Qin Aiguo and Old Lady Qin refused to leave and wanted to wait for Qin Yue to come home. He lived there for most of his life. Qin Wei, Qin Sheng, Qin Ming, and the others also worked in the county and city and did not go far.
The Qin family never rose to prominence and lived a mundane life. Only the female protagonist in the book successfully forged her own path by using a box she unexpectedly obtained.
Thinking about it, the female protagonist in that book is in the capital. Maybe I can meet her again when I go to the capital in the future.
As for how she got her suitcase, the book also mentions that the Qin family was a wealthy family in Qinjiagou, which made them a target for a thief. Taking advantage of Qin Ye's absence, the thief broke into the Qin family's house in the middle of the night to steal things. When Qin Feng and Qin Aiguo heard the noise outside and got up to check, they saw the thief carrying her suitcase climbing over the wall.
The two chased after him, but because of his age, they couldn't catch up, and he got away. By the time they reported the incident to the police the next day, he was nowhere to be found.
After stealing her suitcase, the thief rushed to the provincial capital overnight. When he opened the suitcase, he found it was full of clothes and had no money at all.
The thief was furious. Not only had he made a wasted trip, but he had also almost been caught by the Qin family. In a fit of anger, the thief threw away all the clothes in the box and ran away with only the empty box.
Qin Xiaoxiao's suitcase was a leather suitcase of good quality. It wasn't sold in the supply and marketing cooperative; you had to go to a department store with a ration coupon to buy it. That's why the thief couldn't bear to throw it away and took it with him.
Later, the thief made his way to Beijing, where he was robbed by another group of thieves as he exited the train station.
Knowing the box wasn't easy to steal, and seeing there was no money inside, the thieves sold it to a scrap yard.
The female protagonist in the book happened to go to the recycling station to look for newspapers and saw this box. So she bought the box as well, planning to take it home to pack her clothes.
After arriving home, the female protagonist wanted to change the lining of the suitcase. After opening it, she discovered money and tickets hidden in the lining, as well as a letter written by the Qin family to Qin Min from years ago.
It was through these letters that the female protagonist managed to find out about the Qin family and learn about their situation. After learning that the Qin family was very famous in the area, the female protagonist immediately decided to pretend that this had not happened and never have any contact with the Qin family, and even more so, never let the Qin family know that the box was in her hands.
The female lead wasn't doing too well at the time. She had many workers in her family, but they weren't her responsibility. She had no money and was afraid that the Qin family would come knocking on her door demanding money, so she decided to keep it a secret.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought back to this.
Of the five books, only Mu Jin is alright. The other female protagonists all have their flaws. The character in this book isn't very good either. What kind of life does she have?
This book is going to kill her. The female leads she encounters are either innocent white lotuses or green tea bitches. Oh, and this fifth female lead is also a tomboy, with quite a few men calling her brother.
