Chapter 38 038 Going Up the Mountain
Back in her room, Miao Feifei felt increasingly resentful.
Why is Qin Xiaoxiao so lucky? Even after her parents died, the mine manager still had her backing. Whether she went to the countryside or returned to her hometown, she was protected by her grandparents, pampered by her uncle, and indulged by her brother. Why did Qin Xiaoxiao get all the benefits?
Thinking of Qin Xiaoxiao's slender yet radiant face, Miao Feifei's face contorted with jealousy.
This can't go on. Qin Xiaoxiao has family members who protect and pamper her, but now she's out of her control. Sooner or later, she'll be brought back into her control.
Her face looks like a vixen now. If she were to get back to her best condition, would Huang Yuan still even glance at her?
With so many young men in the village, it's not that they're all captivated by her; they'd all be lining up to help her with chores, giving Qin Xiaoxiao even more time to recuperate.
She has to ruin her, make everyone despise her.
This idea immediately took over Miao Feifei's mind, and she began to think about how to make a move.
Miao Feifei went through everyone in the village and found that the people of Qinjiagou were so good that there were no lazy people. The only one who could be considered lazy was Su Lu from the Su family.
But Su Lu's father is the village party secretary. Even if this matter succeeds, it would be like finding a good husband for Qin Xiaoxiao. How can this be acceptable!
Miao Feifei was so angry that she rolled her eyes and threw herself on the kang (a heated brick bed) to sleep.
The next day, because there wasn't much work to do in the fields, Qin Feng gave the teams after Team Five a day off to rest. Coincidentally, almost all the new and old educated youth were in these five teams, so they decided to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.
Upon hearing about this, Qin Xiaoxiao also joined in, carrying a basket. Since she had nothing else to do, she could go up the mountain and see what was going on. If she got lucky and dug up some ginseng, she could get a courtyard house!
Qin Xiaoxiao walked at the back of the group, with the Su sisters in front of her. Su Yu kept turning back to look at Qin Xiaoxiao as she walked, and after a few times, even the slow-witted Qin Xiaoxiao noticed.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled good-naturedly at Su Yu, "So, Su, the educated youth, is going up the mountain too!"
Su Yu was surprised that Qin Xiaoxiao would greet her first. Her eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "Yes, is Qin Zhiqing going too? Are you going home for dinner tonight?"
Su Yun also turned around curiously to look at Qin Xiaoxiao, and smiled gently when Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her.
When she smiled like that, she looked even more like Su Yu; they truly were cousins.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded at Su Yun, then looked at Su Yu, "I'll be going over at noon and in the evening. My food is all at home."
Su Yu and Su Yun slowed down and waited for Qin Xiaoxiao to walk alongside them.
The three were all young people, and they quickly got together.
Su Yu was very curious and wanted to ask Qin Xiaoxiao about the grudges between Huang Yuan and Miao Feifei and her, but she didn't dare to speak up. Moreover, Su Yun kept pulling on her clothes, clearly trying to suppress her.
Qin Xiaoxiao found it amusing and slowed her pace, further distancing the three of them from the main group.
“Su Zhiqing, just ask whatever you want to say. It’s really uncomfortable to see you hesitating like this.”
Su Yu's eyes sparkled. "Then I'll ask?"
Su Yun glared helplessly at Su Yu, then looked apologetically at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Qin Zhiqing, I'm sorry, my sister is just very curious, she doesn't mean any harm, just ignore her, that's just how she is."
Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "It's nothing, there's nothing I can't say."
Anyway, it wasn't her who would lose face or have her reputation ruined, so she was happy to make Miao Feifei and Huang Yuan unable to stay here any longer.
Seeing that they were having a hard time made her feel better.
Qin Xiaoxiao then recounted the whole story.
After hearing this, Su Yu and Su Yun glared indignantly at Miao Feifei and Huang Yuan's retreating figures. "How shameless! How could they do this?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled indifferently, "Some people are just so confident, thinking that the world has to revolve around them, that everyone in the world is their mother and must do things according to their wishes."
If you go against their wishes, they will consider you a traitor and begin to retaliate maliciously.
Miao Feifei is just making empty promises under the guise of doing what's best for her!
They insisted that she give up her job and contribute to their future happiness.
Su Yun and Su Yu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, feeling that Qin Xiao was absolutely right. Some people are just so unreasonable, acting like they're princesses.
The two sisters already disliked Miao Feifei, and now they hated her even more. They decided to stay away from this narcissistic woman to avoid being infected by her.
Not wanting to leave the two sisters with the impression that she was deliberately trying to ruin Miao Feifei's reputation, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly changed the subject.
The three chatted happily in the back, as if they were old friends who had met too late.
Miao Feifei, who was walking beside Huang Yuan, turned around and glanced back when she heard the chattering behind her.
Seeing that it was Qin Xiaoxiao and the Su sisters talking, she glared at the three of them angrily, then turned around and complained to Huang Yuan in a huff.
“Xiaoxiao used to always walk with us, but now she’s getting so close to the Su sisters. She really doesn’t consider us friends anymore.”
Huang Yuan glanced at Miao Feifei and asked, "How did things go yesterday?"
Miao Feifei shut her mouth tightly, thought for a moment, and shook her head, "Xiaoxiao still won't forgive us. I've talked until my mouth is dry, but it's no use."
Huang Yuan didn't want to know the process, he only wanted to know the result. Now that the result was out, he was somewhat disappointed, but he wasn't too discouraged.
He already knew the outcome, but he held onto a sliver of hope. Now that the result is in, he has given up hope.
"Forget it, stop looking for Qin Xiaoxiao. Let's pretend we don't know each other from now on."
He wanted to keep pestering Qin Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't afford to offend the Qin family.
Putting aside the fact that Qin Feng is the captain and he is under Qin Feng's control everywhere here, he can't even withstand Qin Ye's punches.
She's a veteran, and I heard her second brother is also a veteran, and she also has a third brother who is currently serving in the military.
The whole family are veterans; he can't afford to mess with them.
It would be a lie to say Huang Yuan didn't regret it at this point. If he had known that the Qin family was a prestigious family with a good reputation throughout the province, he would never have forced Qin Xiaoxiao to take his job. If he hadn't done that, then he and Qin Xiaoxiao...
Quickly banishing the unrealistic thoughts from his mind, Huang Yuan glanced at Miao Feifei with displeasure.
She's useless at everything, what good is she!
He quickly took a few steps, pulled Miao Feifei behind him, and received a puzzled look from her.
The group quickly climbed the mountain, with Qin Xiaoxiao and the Su sisters still bringing up the rear. The three of them weren't in a hurry, leisurely following behind the main group, clearly there for fun.
The three were well-off and didn't need to dig for wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, but since they were already there, they couldn't just sit idly by. So, they marked out a piece of land and started digging for wild vegetables as well.
Qin Xiaoxiao was alright, since the original owner had visited Qinjiagou a few times when she was a child and had also gone up the mountain, so she knew a few kinds of wild vegetables. The Su sisters, on the other hand, were completely clueless and didn't know anything, so they could only ask Qin Xiaoxiao for help.
