Chapter 101: The Beginning of the Deception
Seeing the old woman with bound feet trying to defend herself with her hands on her hips, Qin Xiaoxiao lowered her head in shame.
but……
Qin Xiaoxiao was ashamed for only two seconds, then proudly raised her head and made a face at Qin Ye.
I have milk to protect me, what can you do to me?
Qin Ye understood, and looking at his mother who was still staring at him, he resigned himself to his fate.
"Okay, I believe you."
What can you do if you don't believe me? Can he fight with his grandma?
Didn't he approve of anyone who contradicted his grandmother—his own father, who had been beaten so badly by his grandfather that his grandmother wouldn't recognize him?
A wise man is one who knows how to be pragmatic. He is not a wise man, but he knows how to be pragmatic because he is afraid of getting beaten up.
He understands the principle of joining if you can't beat them, and staying away if you can't join.
Qin Ye smiled and nodded to Grandma Qin, "Grandma, the moonlight is enchanting, and the night is long. It's the perfect time for a heart-to-heart talk. You haven't had a proper talk with your sister since she came back. That won't do. I'll make room for you. I'm going back to sleep now. Goodnight."
Qin Ye politely said goodnight, calmly walked back to his room, turned around, smiled, nodded, and closed the door in one smooth motion, just as quickly as Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked disdainful.
Try to copy me! Humph!
With Qin Ye gone, there was no one left to take the blame. Qin Xiaoxiao immediately fawned over Qin's grandmother and hugged her arm. "Grandma, I missed you so much. I've missed you so much that I almost cried."
Ma Dahua, who was standing to the side, twitched her lips and quickly turned and left.
Her eldest niece was about to start her charade, and she was afraid that if she stood next to her, her eldest niece would feel embarrassed and it would affect her performance.
As it turns out, Qin Xiaoxiao was thick-skinned and never felt embarrassed. She grabbed Old Mrs. Qin and started crying and complaining.
She was neglected as a child, and as she grew up, she became weak and unable to do anything. After finally raising her to a near-complete state, her parents passed away overnight. Just when she was feeling lost and helpless, her grandmother shone into her heart like a ray of light. So she decided to go back to the countryside to take care of her grandmother and fulfill her filial duty.
Grandma Qin listened with tears streaming down her face, and she hugged Qin Xiaoxiao tightly, pounding her back in gratitude.
"My little one, you've suffered so much."
My dearest child, he's driving this old woman crazy!
Oh my goodness, what are we going to do now!
Waaaaah…
Upon hearing the old woman's cries from inside the house, Qin Aiguo was startled and immediately got up and ran out.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you again? I'll kill him."
Qin Aiguo's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was crying beside him.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine and knew something was wrong. She quickly wiped away her tears and helped the old lady Qin up.
"Grandma, you're the one who loves me the most, no one else can."
Grandma, let's not cry anymore. My dad and mom, if they're watching from heaven, wouldn't want to see you cry. They just want to see our family reunited and happy.
Grandma, think about it. Grandpa loves you and protects you. Your uncles are there to take care of you, and we younger generations love and cherish you. How wonderful your life is! Such a life is priceless.
Qin Aiguo's complexion improved, and his gaze towards Qin Xiaoxiao softened.
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Qin Aiguo, "Oh, why is Grandpa out? Where's my uncle?"
Qin Aiguo gave Qin Xiaoxiao a "you're smart" look, then pointed behind him, "There!"
Qin Feng, who was watching the commotion from the door frame, almost wet his pants from the shock of Qin Aiguo's finger. He glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, who seemed to enjoy the spectacle, and quickly went back to kneeling.
Grandma Qin was escorted back to her room by Qin Aiguo, with Qin Xiaoxiao following behind them. Once inside, Qin Aiguo helped Grandma Qin onto the kang (a heated brick bed), arranged her pillows, and helped her lie down. Only after Grandma Qin closed her eyes to rest did Qin Aiguo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Aiguo secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
What a close call! The old woman finally stopped crying, otherwise what if she got so angry that she wouldn't let him get on the bed?
He respected his wife, but he was also afraid of her, because when she got angry she wouldn't let him onto the bed and would ignore him for days.
When you're young and full of vigor, your beautiful wife is so close to you, but you won't let her get close or even sleep with you. Who could stand that?
He can't force her, can he? She's his own wife!
Over time, he came to the conclusion that he couldn't make his wife angry. Not only could he not make her angry, but no one else could either, otherwise he would be the one to suffer in the end.
Later, as he got older, he developed a good habit of protecting his wife. In addition, he was often injured in the war when he was young, and he always had some minor health problems. Sleeping on a heated kang bed made him feel better. If he didn't sleep on it, he would wake up the next day with pain all over his body.
Therefore, the outside world only knows that he dotes on his wife and will fight anyone who makes her cry, but no one knows the reason behind it.
Qin Aiguo saw his wife start to snore softly, and finally exhaled his last breath.
He looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Aren't you leaving?"
Does he really want to sleep with his wife?
No way! His wife is his, and only he can lie next to her. No one can take her from him.
Qin Aiguo's meaning was too obvious; Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but understand it.
She twitched her lips, silently said goodbye to Qin Aiguo, and quietly slipped out the door as Qin Aiguo waved dismissively, signaling her to leave quickly.
Back at the educated youth compound, Qin Xiaoxiao found that all the educated youth who had gone to work had returned, and dinner was already halfway through, but she didn't see Miao Feifei.
Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Zhaodi was there, but Miao Feifei was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that she went out to raise money?
Where can she raise money?
Who else does she know here?
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the man she saw having dinner with Miao Feifei in the county town yesterday, and was startled.
Who is that man?
I had overlooked him before and hadn't thought much about it. But now, thinking back to the way Miao Feifei looked at that man and her awkward manner, it seems that the man's identity wasn't so simple after all!
Qin Xiaoxiao decided to go to the county town tomorrow to find out the man's identity.
That man is a police officer; it should be easy to find out about him.
Seeing that Lü Zhaodi had stopped causing trouble, Qin Xiaoxiao felt it was pointless and went back into the house.
After closing the doors and windows, Qin Xiaoxiao slipped into the space.
I took a bath in the space, threw my clothes into the washing machine, took them out of the space to hang them up to dry, then went back into the space to eat dinner, and then drooled over the meat dishes in the space.
Soon, in just over a month she'll be able to eat meat again, and then she'll need to nourish herself properly.
No, I've heard that people who haven't eaten meat for a long time are prone to diarrhea after eating it. We have to take it step by step, little by little, and not eat too much at once.
Alright, let's start with meat congee!
Having thought of twenty delicious meat dishes and made herself drool, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly left the space, clearing her mind and no longer daring to think about the meat in the space.
After reading for a while, Qin Xiaoxiao turned off the light and went to sleep. Of course, the small electric fan continued to run, but it was no longer needed. It was cloudy tonight, and it would probably start raining in the middle of the night. She definitely wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow, so she could go to the county town instead.
