Chapter 61 061 Human traffickers have come to the county?
Qin Xiaoxiao leaned closer to Qin Aiguo and said mysteriously, "I heard today that a lot of children have gone missing in the county recently, and the police came to the brigade looking for my uncle."
I think, firstly, I want my uncle to be careful and not let outsiders into the village; secondly, I want him to tell the team members to be extra cautious.
Qin Aiguo frowned immediately upon hearing that many children had gone missing in the county.
"A lot of children have gone missing?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, pouting, and said, "That's right, Aunt Chunhua said so, she's the most well-informed."
"Sir, do you think human traffickers have come to our county?"
Qin Aiguo walked back with his hands behind his back, not forgetting to pull his beloved granddaughter along.
“In previous years, quite a few children went missing in the county. Later, the police found a lot of people involved, and many of them were sent to farms for reform. Some of them were even given peanuts.”
Things have calmed down in recent years; I haven't heard of any more children going missing, but..."
Qin Aiguo suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"My dear grandson, behave yourself for now and don't go to the county town. We'll talk about it after this matter is settled."
Qin Aiguo ignored Qin Xiaoxiao's displeasure and pulled her into the house.
Children aren't often lost, but women are frequently lost. His precious grandson is so handsome; he can't let human traffickers abduct him.
Qin Xiaoxiao was confused and unhappy, but she still obediently followed Qin Aiguo into the house.
As soon as Grandma Qin saw Qin Xiaoxiao return, she immediately went to greet her, "What were you and your grandfather talking about outside? Aren't you going to eat?"
Qin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Qin Aiguo and saw him winking at her. She could only smile and hug the old lady's arm. "It's nothing. My grandpa told me to listen to him and not to run around aimlessly. He told me to spend more time with you."
Grandma Qin looked at her husband.
Qin Aiguo immediately smiled and nodded hurriedly.
"That's right, that's right. It's not easy for your granddaughter to come back, let her keep you company."
Grandma Qin patted Qin Xiaoxiao's hand with a smile, raising her eyebrows slightly, "Why are you so young and still clinging to an old woman like me? Spend more time playing with the young people. Don't pay any attention to those people in the educated youth compound, none of them are good. There are a few decent young people in the village. I'll have your brother take you to meet them tomorrow."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, okay, I know, I won't play with the people from the educated youth compound."
"But Grandma, the Su sisters at the youth quarters seem alright. Can I play with them?"
Grandma Qin frowned. "You handle it yourself. Just make sure no one schemes against you. If anything happens, tell Grandma right away, and Grandma will give you some advice."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, I'll take another look. If it doesn't work, I'll go home and ask Grandma. Grandma has a good eye and knows how to judge people."
Qin Xiaoxiao was pleased with the flattery, and the old lady Qin smiled and slapped Qin Xiaoxiao on the back, saying, "You little mouth is so good at talking, you know how to please people the most."
Qin Aiguo glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with disdain.
Sycophant!
"No way! Look how good Grandpa is to you. Doesn't that prove you have good taste? If you didn't have good taste, you wouldn't have married Grandpa."
With a single sentence praising and flattering both of them, Qin Aiguo finally smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes, your grandma has the best taste, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen me."
Grandma Qin glared at Qin Aiguo. "Hmph, if my mother hadn't said you were honest and reliable, I wouldn't have married you. You look like a bear spirit, it's scary just looking at you."
Qin Aiguo immediately fell silent, sitting listlessly on one side of the kang (a heated brick bed), clearly feeling dejected.
Qin Xiaoxiao dared not say another word. This was a war between elders, no, it was a harmonious collusion, and it had nothing to do with her. She should just stay put.
After calming the old lady down, everyone started eating as soon as Qin Ye arrived.
Qin Ye didn't get to eat any eggs today; he gave both to Qin Xiaoxiao. Old Mrs. Qin even gave Qin Ye a few extra glances, as if warning him not to compete with Qin Xiaoxiao for them.
Qin Ye: ...
Have mercy! How old is he to still be fighting with his sister for food? Is he really that insensible?
Qin Ye felt even more exhausted after the meal, so he ran away as soon as he finished eating. When Qin Xiaoxiao returned to the educated youth compound after finishing her snack, the crops on her private plot outside the compound had grown even more densely.
Her brother skipped his meals and came to work instead?
He didn't seem to mind the heat, even in the middle of the day.
Ever since she learned that the Snail Girl was Qin Ye, Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't looked at her private plot again. She had no idea what she planted there or how it was growing. Anyway, she didn't eat it, so it was pointless for her to look.
Qin Ye and Liu Mingyu, who had missed Qin Xiaoxiao earlier, were heading to the field, planning to work harder today and finish Qin Xiaoxiao's work by noon. They planned to let her rest at home in the afternoon and not come back, as watching her work hurt her eyes and was more distressing than doing it themselves.
Liu Mingyu stared speechlessly at Qin Ye's retreating figure, and couldn't help but sigh.
We agreed to do it tonight!
He had just gotten home and hadn't even finished his meal when his brother brought it over for Qin Xiaoxiao to do chores. He was puzzled; was Qin Xiaoxiao in such a hurry?
Are the vegetables in the Qin family's garden not enough to eat? Are they counting on Qin Xiaoxiao's plot of land to get their vegetables?
Sigh, it seems the Qin family's life isn't as glamorous as it appears on the surface. I'll have my mother send some vegetables to the Qin family later.
Otherwise, if we relied on Qin Xiaoxiao's land to grow vegetables, we would starve to death!
Qin Ye was unaware that in Liu Mingyu's mind, the Qin family was now on the verge of starvation, and he was thinking about the person he had just seen.
With just one glance, he couldn't be sure if the person he saw was someone he knew. If it was him, what was he doing there?
Are you here to see him?
That's not right. He went to the village office, not the Qin family's house.
So he didn't come looking for him, but he...
No, his clothes are wrong. Is he a policeman?
Thinking about the rumors he heard in the village when he returned home at noon, Qin Ye felt that the person in question was him.
Qin Ye, who always presented himself as a kind and gentle person, revealed a sinister smile at this moment. If Qin Xiaoxiao were to see this scene, she would definitely put her hands together and look at him with starry eyes.
So handsome!
Tall, handsome, and with a sinister and wicked aura—isn't that the standard for a second male lead?
Back in her little room, Qin Xiaoxiao had no energy left to think about anything. As soon as she got back, she felt an excruciating pain in her stomach, as if someone was twisting her intestines.
The familiar pain immediately made Qin Xiaoxiao realize the reason.
Relatives are visiting, why aren't you welcoming them?!
She rushed to the toilet, and as she expected, her period had started.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her soiled pants and felt like crying.
The original owner of this body lived for eighteen years without ever coming here, but she came to visit after only a little over a month of her arrival. Is she taking advantage of her lack of backing?
Back in my room, I drew the curtains, changed my pants, rummaged through my storage space for sanitary napkins, then threw the soiled pants into a basin to soak. While they were soaking, I made myself a cup of brown sugar ginger water and drank it. Finally, I did another round of searching through my storage space.
Put on the heat packs, plug in the waist warmer, prepare the painkillers, and get two pairs of clean underwear ready. Everything's OK.
