Chapter 386 Qiao Suo, Do You Like Me?
Song Ci: "I'm not blaming you. I also know that you think that the Qiao family has lived here for a long time and is from my mother's family, and is an honored guest. But she is also a family member. If something happens to her, the whole family will be sad and heartbroken."
The two said they understood.
He immediately asked the two of them to pay attention to Qiao Suo's movements in the coming days and to tell him if they had any questions.
She planned not to tell the Qiao family's two uncles and her mother and father about this matter until she had found out the truth, so as to avoid the whole family panicking and losing their composure.
Qiao Suo still went out to distribute porridge, but the porridge in the bowls became thinner and thinner, and each refugee could only get a small bowl.
The refugees' initial gratitude turned into complaints.
The old woman looked at the bowl and said, "Miss, this porridge... is a little too thin."
Qiao Suo was too ashamed to look up. "Food is becoming scarcer and scarcer, and we don't have much left at home either."
The old woman heard her timid tone and said, "Judging from the clothes you're wearing, you're not from an ordinary family. Rich families are known to have a lot of food stored. How could it be that you've run out of it? Maybe... you don't want to take out the food and share it with everyone else."
When she spoke the last few words, the woman raised her voice, attracting the attention of the people around her.
Qiao Suo's cheeks flushed red as he tried to explain, "No, it's hard to buy food now. We don't have much at home, and the rest needs to be eaten at home."
"So, you're just going to let us drink this water and keep the rest for yourselves?"
"Why are you pretending to be a good person? The result is always the same, selfish!"
"That's right. If you really want to be kind, you should share all the food. I was so hungry by the evening after drinking just one bowl of water that I lost a lot of weight."
"hypocritical!"
The refugees below echoed each other, and Qiao Rui was so frustrated that she said, "How about I go back and get it..."
She was about to say something when Wanxiang stepped forward and shouted, "If you don't want this porridge, I'll leave it all for the people behind. You're making a fuss here. I don't think you're hungry enough."
After saying that, he snatched the bowl from the old woman's hand and poured the rice porridge back into the wooden barrel.
The old woman said: "You, how can you be so unreasonable? This porridge is too thin and not filling enough. Are we wrong?"
Wanxiang: "I still say the same thing, we are kind enough to give you porridge, if you are picky and don't like it, then don't eat it."
Seeing that she could not gain any benefit from Wanxiang, the old woman could only retreat aside in embarrassment, and the people who had spoken just now also fell silent.
There are fewer and fewer places providing free porridge in Beijing now.
The porridge distributed to many places was not as good as that distributed to the Song family. Although they complained, they were reluctant to give up the porridge!
Seeing Qiao Rui stunned, Wan Xiang worriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Ms. Qiao Rui, are you okay? We are here to take care of you. Go back and rest first..."
After hearing this, Qiao Rui nodded woodenly and then walked towards the house without looking back.
Wanxiang just thought she was in a bad mood and didn't say anything.
In the evening, everyone gathered together for dinner. At the table, Song Ci said that it was difficult to buy food.
A flash of embarrassment crossed Qiao Suo's face, and he quickly lowered his eyes and remained silent. He counted the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, but didn't eat many bites.
Song Ci observed her carefully and frowned.
Qiao Suo is a little weird.
At night, Song Ci and Pei Ji had already fallen asleep when there was a knock on the door.
Pei Ji opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Who?"
Tian'er: "Master, it's me. The young lady asked me to keep an eye on Miss Qiao Rui. I saw Miss Qiao Rui go out just now."
Pei Ji frowned, and Song Ci woke up. "Going out? Do you know where he went?"
The sound outside Tian'er's door was not loud, but clear enough.
"From what I see, it seems he went to the temple outside the city."
Song Ci knew that the temple was very old and had no one to maintain it. It was now very desolate and often attracted homeless people who wandered around.
"I have to go and see where she is going and what she is doing."
One hand pinched her shoulder, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's cold at night, wear more clothes, I'll go with you."
Song Ci felt a little embarrassed, "It's late at night, and I asked you to go with me because of me."
Pei Ji lowered his eyes and carefully put the cloak on her, then tied the belt around her neck. "You and I are husband and wife, and there's no need to be polite."
Song Ci smiled, and the two left the house side by side.
They didn't disturb anyone and went to the deserted temple in the carriage.
...
There was a bonfire burning in the temple, and although there was ventilation all around, a lot of cold wind still came in, making people feel cold even to the bones.
A little girl looked at the night outside and pouted, "Brother, I'm so hungry."
A young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, he was quite handsome, but there was a strong sense of depression between his brows.
"She said she would send us food tonight."
An elderly woman and a man beside him said, "Why not take this opportunity to ask her to take out all the food and money in the house? With these things, we won't have to worry anymore."
The young man frowned, "She is simple, but not stupid. If we make such a request, she will discover our intentions."
The two of them were worried, "This won't work, that won't work, do we have to stay here and continue acting with that little girl?"
Teenager: "Soon, I need to find an excuse to make a request."
Qiao Suo was a simple-minded person who hated evil and could accomplish anything with just a few words.
Soon, the sound of a carriage was heard at the door, and Qiao Rui jumped out of the carriage with a look of joy on her face.
"Yu Ye!"
The boy's name is Yu Ye. He has a very nice smile and exudes a temperament that makes people feel like spring breeze.
"You're here, Qiao Suo."
"Well, I brought some food and meat."
"Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, my whole family would have suffered."
The voice is gentle enough to make people fall in love with it.
Qiao Suo's cheeks turned red as expected, and she stirred it with her fingers, "Brother Yuye."
Yu Ye reached out and pinched her cheek affectionately, "What's wrong, did you miss me?"
The voice was frivolous and nonchalant.
Qiao Suo didn't dodge, but instead looked at him with admiration, "Brother Yu Ye, this is all temporary. I believe that with your ability and talent, you will be able to make the Yu family a comeback sooner or later."
Yu Ye's face was filled with anguish. "Making a comeback is no easy task. My house was burned down, and I'm so grateful to be able to still be alive."
When Qiao Su saw a shadow cast on his handsome face and a look of sorrow in his eyes, she felt extremely distressed.
"No, I believe you. I will help you too..." Qiao Suo grabbed Yu Ye's hand, and when the two warm hands overlapped together, she realized that she had been rude.
He stepped back in a hurry, but Yu Ye held him even tighter.
The palms of my hands are burning hot.
"Do you like me, Qiao Rui..."
Qiao Suo nodded in surprise.
