Chapter 95 095 Am I not worthy?
Throughout the morning, Qin Ye stayed by Qin Xiaoxiao's side without leaving her side. She didn't do much work to begin with, and now that the workers had come along, she didn't need to do anything. Qin Xiaoxiao simply chatted happily with Aunt Liu, Aunt Song, and the other group of people.
From the sordid rivalry among the four brothers of the Li family in the east of the village, to the covert battle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the west of the village, to the incestuous relationship between the father-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the south of the village, and finally to the extraordinary unity among the Qin family in the north of the village.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked.
Old Qin's house in the north of the village? Isn't that her house?
No, there are many people with the surname Qin in Qinjiagou. There are more than ten Qin families living in the north. Who are you talking about?
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao staring blankly at her aunts and sisters-in-law around her, Aunt Liu laughed so hard she slapped her thigh.
"Look at that little one's eyes, hahaha... confused, aren't you? No need to guess, it's your house."
Your family is known throughout the village for its unity, and both of your uncles are good people.
"We're not trying to flatter you, but even if we all share the surname Qin, it doesn't mean we're all good. Every family has a scoundrel who ruins their reputation, but your family is the exception."
As she spoke, Aunt Liu sighed deeply, "In your family, from Old Qin's father to your generation, four generations have not had a single bad person. Even you are sharp-eyed and clear-headed."
Qin Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed by what was said, and said softly with a blush, "No, I'm nothing."
I'm the weakest, don't drag me down.
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoxiao, "You're not good at work, that's undeniable, but you are indeed kind-hearted, good to the villagers and your family."
Your brother did help you with chores, but as far as we know, you've also bought a lot of things for the family, haven't you?
Qin Xiaoxiao's shopping spree was known throughout the village. Some said she was a spendthrift, while others said she cared about her family, wasn't stingy, was willing to spend money on them, and was a good child.
In Aunt Liu's opinion, Qin Xiaoxiao buys things for the Qin family mainly because the Qin family genuinely protects her. Apart from that, it's all because Qin Ye helps Qin Xiaoxiao with chores every day, and Qin Xiaoxiao is just trying to repay him by always buying things for the family.
Qin Xiaoxin touched her nose guiltily.
Really not!
Women understand the joy of shopping.
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Qin Ye, who was working hard.
Her older brother, whom she considered a stranger, was incredibly good to her. Despite her unreasonable behavior, he continued to help her without a single complaint. For that reason alone, she felt she had to repay him in the future.
It's not the right time yet. Let's wait... wait until she can eat meat, then we can familiarize her with Cat Ear Mountain and try to hunt some wild rabbits or pheasants for her.
We should also give the whole family a boost, especially the spiritual spring water, which should be used soon.
Thinking of the spiritual spring water, Qin Xiaoxiao became troubled again.
Her grandmother wouldn't let her into the kitchen, and every time she went, someone would follow her. She couldn't even drip spiritual spring water into the water tank. She had to find a way to convince her grandmother that she could cook, and that she could cook quite well.
The morning passed in laughter and chatter. At noon, Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go back to the educated youth compound, but Qin Feng and Old Mrs. Qin's eyes were too frightening, so she didn't dare to go back. She could only obediently lie down next to Old Mrs. Qin and let her hug her to sleep.
Helplessly, Qin Xiaoxiao let Grandma Qin pat her body to lull her to sleep, and closed her eyes.
When Qin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the chaotic shouts outside.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Is there a fire at one of the houses?"
Qin Xiaoxiao sat up, her big, blurry eyes unfocused as she looked at people.
Grandma Qin chuckled and slapped Qin Xiaoxiao on the back. "Whose house can catch fire in broad daylight? Who knows what happened? Your uncle went over there, and we'll know when he gets back."
Qin Xiaoxiao sensed the gossip and instantly snapped out of it.
"Grandma, I'll go check on it and come back to tell you."
He spoke as he quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Grandma Qin knew she couldn't stop her granddaughter, so she let her be.
"Don't rush, stay away from the commotion, or you'll get hurt."
"knew."
The reply still echoed inside the house when the person had already floated out of the courtyard at an astonishing speed.
Grandma Qin glared at Qin Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, muttering, "If you could work this fast, we wouldn't need your brother! He's useless at everything, but he's number one at joining in the fun!"
When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the accident scene and stood on the wall of a house on the outermost edge, she saw people in a courtyard. Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock, and she rubbed them in disbelief.
Holy crap! You didn't see wrong, aren't those Miao Feifei, Lü Zhaodi, and Zhao Xing in the courtyard?
What happened? Did Miao Feifei make a move?
Wait a minute, wasn't she trying to harm her? Why didn't she come looking for her, but instead got herself involved?
Zhao Xing also looked helpless, squatting under the eaves to watch the excitement with the villagers.
To be honest, this had nothing to do with him. He just provided the location for the incident. In fact, he was quite innocent and felt very aggrieved.
Qin Feng was already standing in Zhao Xing's courtyard, looking at the three people on the scene with a speechless expression.
Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi were already locked in a fierce fight, even more ruthless than the village shrewish women. They were scratching faces, picking noses, gouging eyes, pulling ears, pulling hair, and kicking groins, making quite a spectacle of their fight.
Oh, and tearing clothes too.
They weren't wearing much to begin with, and now their only vests were torn to shreds, exposing their white chests and backs to everyone present. And that wasn't all; the curses they uttered were utterly offensive, even worse than those of a fifty-year-old village woman.
He asked about the ancestors of eighteen generations back, and about the descendants of three generations down. He would bring up every word spoken by both sets of parents and ask them about it. He truly felt sorry for their parents.
Seeing that the two men's vests were about to fall off, Qin Feng had no choice but to speak up.
"Alright, let go, everyone. Someone come here, pull them apart, and bring them two more pieces of clothing. Look at this, look at this, what kind of behavior is this?"
At Qin Feng's command, two pieces of clothing were quickly brought out from somewhere and draped over the two men, while also pulling them apart.
Once the two were standing still, Qin Feng looked left and right, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"What happened? Tell me."
Zhao Xing, who had been squatting under the eaves watching, perked up and ran over to Qin Feng, gesturing animatedly as he recounted the events.
After he finished speaking, the eyes of the entire village lit up, staring intently at the two female protagonists with wide, bewildered expressions. (The correct wording is "with wide, bewildered expressions," but the substitution here is used to express the villagers' embarrassment and intense curiosity.)
Qin Xiaoxiao heard it too, and after she finished listening, she had only one thought.
Am I not good enough for you? Why don't you come to me?
No, I didn't want to. Who wants to be schemed against?
But didn't Miao Feifei say she was going to scheme against her? Why did she bring Lü Zhaodi along?
Knowing full well that Miao Feifei was plotting, Lü Zhaodi followed along. What was she planning to do? Was she going to expose Miao Feifei, or was she going to launch a counterattack against Miao Feifei and drag her into it?
She probably never expected it to turn out this way, did she?
This is interesting. One person wanted to scheme against someone, and the other wanted to use someone else to do the dirty work. In the end, the two of them were outsmarted by the other and fell into each other's trap, which ultimately exonerated her.
