Chapter 255: Gone, all gone - The sickly young lady's daily life of eating melons in the courtyard
Uncle Zhou felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it after being angered by Zhou Qin that day.
Then something happened that made him very, very unhappy.
The factory gave Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to every employee, which were divided according to salary levels. Although the three people in their family did not have high ranks, they all had jobs and received a lot of holiday gifts.
But Zhou Qin, this rebellious son, always does things beyond his bottom line.
When Zhou Qin saw Qin Xianglian looking so pitiful in front of him, he softened his heart again. Before he even took the gift home, he gave all of his share to Qin Xianglian.
"Sister Lian, I'll give this portion to you!"
"Is this really possible? What if..." Qin Xianglian lowered her head, "What if your wife doesn't agree?"
"Why do you care what she does? I can't allow her to refute the decision I made." Zhou Qin is a very patriarchal man. He does not allow his wife to refute him in public.
"Thank you so much, Zhou Qin~" Qin Xianglian said with a hook in her eyes.
Zhou Qin was so distracted by her temptation that he wanted to give her everything he had, but everything he had was already given away and he couldn't give her any more.
In fact, Qin Xianglian was still a little dissatisfied, but she also knew that what Wang Qiaomei and Uncle Zhou had was not what she could dream of.
Even if she got it now, she would be teased if she went back, but she was really unwilling to do so.
"When I go back, I will make sure Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang thank you as their uncle. If it weren't for you, our family might..." Qin Xianglian lowered her head in disappointment as she spoke.
"Sister Lian, don't be sad. You will have everything you need. Just wait, I will go home and get some for you." Zhou Qin couldn't bear to see her so sad, so he immediately promised.
Qin Xianglian lowered her head, her mouth almost reaching her ears.
"Really, believe me, I will go home and get it for you later." Zhou Qin thought Qin Xianglian didn't believe it, so he made a strong promise.
"Zhou Qin~I believe in you, thank you so much." Qin Xianglian said with gratitude on her face.
"What's the big deal? We have plenty of gifts for this festival." Zhou Qin said pretending to be generous.
If Uncle Zhou and Wang Qiaomei were here, they would probably beat him up. What do you mean by "plenty at home"? How can there be plentiful at home?
Could you please stop lying so blindly?
The corners of Qin Xianglian's mouth twitched slightly, but in order to maintain her image in front of Zhou Qin, she had to endure it.
Zhou Qin really did what he said and started to search the house after returning home.
Uncle Zhou and Wang Qiaomei didn't expect that there would be such a thief in their home. Although all the things in the house were put away, they were not hidden. Everyone in the family knew where they were. Isn't this convenient for Zhou Qin?
Uncle Zhou hasn't received his gift yet, but Wang Qiaomei did receive it earlier than them.
Wang Qiaomei had just started working, so the gift she gave was not much, one-third less than Zhou Qin's. Zhou Qin gave all of it to Qin Xianglian.
He thought that his father's gift was larger than both his and his wife's, only about a quarter less than their combined amount, which was not a big difference, so his father's share was enough for their family.
I have to say that he thinks so much, but it's probably just self-consolation.
Qin Xianglian just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to actually get it. She didn't delay and took it home directly. Aunt Su was watching it the whole time, and as soon as she brought it back, she hid it.
When Wang Qiaomei came back, she found Zhou Qin sitting there like a big shot, so she asked, "Zhou Qin, where are the gifts you brought back?"
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "Oh, you mean a holiday gift? I gave it to someone."
Wang Qiaomei widened her eyes slightly and asked, "What did you say? Giving it away? Who did you give it to?" Each question became louder and louder.
Zhou Qin stiffened his neck and said, "I'll just give it away. Why do you know so much?"
"I'm your wife, didn't you even tell me before you gave her away?"
"What's there to say? You're my wife, so you have to listen to me." Zhou Qin really thinks so. A wife has to listen to her husband. The man has made the decision, so what can the wife do to refute it?
Wang Qiaomei gasped for breath. She was really angry. "Tell me, did you give it to the widow in the east room again?"
Zhou Qin rolled his eyes around and didn't give a direct answer, "I gave it away anyway."
"Hmph!" Wang Qiaomei didn't argue with him and just ran out.
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Wang Qiaomei went to cause trouble. No, how could this be possible?
He quickly chased after him.
"Qin Xianglian, you bitch, come out to me, come out to me!" Wang Qiaomei knocked hard on the door of the east room.
The Su family seemed to have anticipated that she would come, as the doors were tightly closed and there was no sound at all.
"What are you doing? They're not home, why are you knocking on the door?"
"Huh!" Wang Qiaomei didn't believe that there could be such a coincidence. Moreover, it was time to cook, so how could there be no one at the Su family?
"Come out here, you bastard! Return the holiday gift to my family right now."
Wang Qiaomei launched an attack from all eighteen generations of her ancestors, but there was still no sound coming from the room.
Uncle Zhou came back from outside carrying a holiday gift.
Seeing his daughter-in-law making a noise at the door of the east wing of the Su family, he knew without thinking that it must be his own unfilial son who had done something again.
"Daughter-in-law, what happened?"
"Dad, you came back just in time. You didn't know that Zhou Qin gave his holiday gift directly to that bitch Qin Xianglian!"
"What did you say? He gave away all his holiday gifts?" Uncle Zhou said, glaring at Zhou Qin fiercely.
"Well, I just asked him, and he said he gave it to someone." There is no need to ask him who he gave it to. Without a doubt, he definitely gave it to someone named Qin.
"You rebellious son, I'm going to beat you to death." Uncle Zhou put the gift at the door of his house, took off his shoes and started beating him.
Zhou Qin started dodging again, while everyone else in the yard hid in the dark and watched the excitement.
Uncle Zhou was also very angry. Mid-Autumn Festival is not cheap. The smallest gift in their factory costs 5 yuan. Zhou Qin has worked in the factory for so many years, plus his seniority and rank, this holiday gift is not a small amount!
This rebellious son actually gave away everything. He is really unmanageable and doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
Uncle Zhou thought of his rebellious son and suddenly realized that things were definitely not that simple. "Daughter-in-law, go check if the holiday gift you brought back two days ago is still there?"
Wang Qiaomei was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran back home and started searching.
No, nothing. All the holiday gifts that were piled here are gone.
Wang Qiaomei walked out angrily.
"Dad, it's gone. It's all gone."
Uncle Zhou was so angry that he cursed, "You rebellious son, I'm going to beat you to death!"
