Chapter 55055 Someone comes in at midnight
Qin Feng didn't go home all noon. Ma Dahua couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the village committee to deliver a message to him behind her parents' backs, and also brought him a thin quilt.
Looking at the thin blanket in his wife's arms, Qin Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body went cold.
After Ma Dahua recounted what had happened, Qin Feng looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face.
Why is his life so miserable?
When he was little, he took the blame for his younger brother's mistakes; now that he's grown up, he takes the blame for his brother's daughter's mistakes, and he can't even be happy about it. If he dares to show that he's not angry at all, not to mention his mother, even his wife would glare at him to death.
Qin Feng glanced at his wife, who was staring at him and waiting for his response, then lowered his head and sighed.
"Don't worry, I won't tell."
Ma Dahua was satisfied and handed over a lunchbox with a smile.
"I know you're upset, so I made you these chive dumplings especially for you. Eat them quickly, or they'll get cold."
Pushing the lunchbox forward, Ma Dahua smiled so gently, as if she were telling her son to take his medicine.
Smelling the aroma of the chive boxes, Qin Feng had a strong suspicion: if he didn't admit to the matter, would he never see the lunchbox again? Would the chive boxes disappear too?
After her husband finished eating, Ma Dahua cleaned up and left without looking back, not even sparing Qin Feng a second glance.
Qin Feng, who was eagerly waiting for his wife's comfort, could only watch Ma Dahua's retreating figure in disappointment and shed tears.
He can't go home now; it looks like he'll have to stay at the village office for a few more days to hide.
As soon as she started work in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao sensed that someone was watching her. When she turned around, she saw her husband glaring at her with a resentful look.
Qin Xiaoxin looked away guiltily.
If you didn't see it, it means nothing happened.
Work, work, work! She came to the countryside to contribute to the country, so what else is she supposed to do but work?
She wanted to be a progressive educated youth, she wanted to receive awards and banners, and she wanted her grandparents to be proud of her.
Qin Xiaoxiao buried herself in her work, not even glancing at Qin Feng, which made Qin Feng so angry that he clutched his heart and cried out in regret.
That brat! I spoiled her for nothing, and now he's even taking the blame for her!
She should be taught a lesson by her grandfather.
Qin Feng was so angry that he turned and left. It took Qin Xiaoxiao a long time to raise her head, look at Qin Feng's back, and silently apologize.
I'm sorry, sir, thank you for your hard work.
After finishing work in the evening, Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly returned to the Qin family home. When she arrived at the gate, she saw Qin Aiguo still sitting there waiting for someone.
Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled twice, slipped away from Qin Aiguo and went into the house. She told Qin's grandmother that she wouldn't be eating there that night, and ran away before the grandmother could respond.
Back at the educated youth settlement, after closing the door and eating some cold noodles, Qin Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, she's still alive.
After finishing a large bowl of cold noodles, Qin Xiaoxiao felt like she had finally come back to life.
The icy coldness of the noodles made Qin Xiaoxiao shiver, and her agitated heart calmed down.
After calming down, Qin Xiaoxiao began to reflect.
This is a lesson learned. I can't complain to the old lady again next time, or I'll make her cry again and no one will take the blame for her.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't think Qin Feng would take the blame for her again. Once was enough; she couldn't bear to do it again.
After dinner, Qin Xiaoxiao took out a book from her spatial storage and read it until it got dark before putting the book away and preparing to go to sleep.
A row of small electric fans stood side by side, and an ice basin was placed on the ground. The cool breeze seeped into her heart, and Qin Xiaoxiao relaxed and gradually became sleepy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up with a start. A strong killing intent burst forth from her body, and her sharp eyes swept towards the window.
Normally, one should sleep with the windows open in the middle of summer, but Qin Xiaoxiao has the secret of her spatial ability. In addition, there are not only female educated youths at the educated youth settlement, but also male educated youths, and there is also the unpredictable factor of the female protagonist Miao Feifei. Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao is very cautious and has always slept with the windows closed and put ice basins in the room to cool down.
Nothing had happened in the month since she went to the countryside, and Qin Xiaoxiao was even thinking about whether to open the window a crack or something. But today she was extremely glad that she was cautious, because sure enough, someone came today.
There were people trying to pry open the window, and more than one of them.
Upon closer listening, Qin Xiaoxiao heard low voices.
"Hurry up, or it will be too late when she wakes up."
"Why are you rushing me? If you're so capable, then you do it yourself."
"I'm just in a hurry. She has a lot of good things in her room. Aren't you tempted?"
"Alright, I know, she'll wake up if you keep bothering her."
There was no more talking outside, but the noise from prying open the window grew louder, indicating that the person trying to break in was getting impatient.
Qin Xiaoxiao sneered, waved her hand to put the small electric fan into her space, and waited for the two to come to her door.
It's funny, she didn't come looking for them, but they came to her door.
The people outside the window were none other than Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi.
The two of them dawdled outside for ages before finally managing to pry open the window, making Qin Xiaoxiao anxious for them.
With this skill level, it's no good. If it were her, she would have already ransacked the house.
Finally, things quieted down outside, and the window opened. Qin Xiaoxiao watched as the two clumsily scrambled through the window and made quite a commotion when they jumped down.
He cursed the two men under his breath for being incredibly stupid, sneaking into someone's house in the middle of the night and making such a commotion; they would have woken up even a dead person inside.
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, closed them, pretended to be asleep, and even made a soft snoring sound.
The two knew they had made a bit too much noise, so they stood by the window, not daring to move, until they heard Qin Xiaoxiao snoring before continuing to grope inside.
Miao Feifei stood by the kang (a heated brick bed) glaring at Qin Xiaoxiao, wanting to take the opportunity to beat her up, but she was afraid that Qin Xiaoxiao would wake up and call for help, so she could only clench her fists and get angry.
No, she should have prepared some sleeping pills before she came, so that she could take this opportunity to give her a good beating.
It was too late for regrets. Miao Feifei couldn't do anything about Qin Xiaoxiao, so she could only head towards the kitchen cabinets at Lü Zhaodi's urging.
By the moonlight, the two searched through the cabinet and soon found two cans of malted milk powder, a bag of red dates, half a bag of brown sugar, half a pound of White Rabbit candy, three pounds of rice, a pound of wheat flour, and only a dozen pounds of coarse grains. Qin Xiaoxiao had put them out on the surface for others to see; otherwise, they wouldn't have found any coarse grains at all.
The two didn't find any more valuable items, and they didn't find any money. Miao Feifei was unwilling to give up, feeling that Qin Xiaoxiao must have hidden some money. She knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was very rich, and even if she didn't keep it all at the educated youth settlement, it was impossible for her to have no money at all.
Besides the cabinet, there was a kangqin (a type of zither) on the kang and a box on top of it in the room. The two climbed onto the kang, carefully avoiding Qin Xiaoxiao, and reached for the box on top of the kangqin.
Unfortunately, both the zither and the box were locked, and they couldn't open them without the key.
The two then turned their attention to Qin Xiaoxiao, wanting to see if she had any keys.
Just as the two turned their heads, they heard a scream. They both shuddered and realized something was wrong. They jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and tried to run away.
Qin Xiaoxiao finally waited until the two men took their things and greedily climbed onto her kang (a heated brick bed). She wasn't about to let them get away with the opportunity to teach them a lesson, so she shouted out just as the two men were about to touch her.
