Chapter 48 It's all the same, just dog biting dog
After Qi Xu finished his meal, he took the soup and went to the cave to take care of Liu.
"Xu'er, where did you get this broth?"
Liu looked her daughter up and down, trying to see if she was being bullied.
Qi Xu understood the meaning of her eyes and blushed as he quickly explained, "This was given to me by Yun Fu, mother. I didn't sell my body."
"She has no relationship with us, so why would she be willing to give us such precious food?"
Along the way, Liu had seen so much of the selfish side of human nature that she couldn't understand why Yun Fu did this.
"Mom, not everyone in this world is as bad as Qi Dahai and the others. There are good people too."
In Qi Xu's mind, Yun Fu is like a god.
——
"Liu Qing, Qing'er, are you there? Your husband is here to see you."
The mother and daughter were talking when Qi Dahai's voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Liu's face, which was already pale to begin with, became even paler now.
Qi Xu's hand holding the bowl shook reflexively. He came to his senses and stood in front of his mother, shouting angrily, "Qi Dahai! What are you doing here? Who let you in? Get out!"
Qi Dahai specifically waited for a time when Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou were not around, and sneaked in.
When he saw Qi Xu holding the bowl of pork rib soup, he was so greedy that his saliva started watering.
"Xu'er, Dad has reflected seriously these past few days. I did do something wrong before. I shouldn't have treated you and your mother like that. Can you forgive Dad?"
Qi Dahai did go back and reflect seriously.
But the result of his reflection was that Liu was cowardly and soft-hearted, and Qi Xu, that damn girl, cared about her very much. So, as long as he could coax Liu, Qi Xu, that damn girl, would not be able to cause any trouble.
"Dad was wrong. I won't force you to serve those officials anymore."
Because Qi Dahai came up with a new idea.
"Qing'er, we've been together for so many years, are you really willing to leave? Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider our precious daughter! Who would want a woman who cuts off ties with her own father?"
Qi Dahai knew how to exploit Liu's weaknesses.
Liu had already begun to hesitate.
"You really know you're wrong, and you won't force Xu'er to do those things anymore?"
To prove that what he said was true, Qi Dahai raised his finger and swore: "I, Qi Dahai, can swear to heaven that if I force Qi Xu to do that kind of thing again in the future, I will be struck by five thunders and die a miserable death!"
Qi Xu still maintained a clear mind and looked at Qi Dahai coldly.
She didn't believe that a person with such a bad heart like Qi Dahai could suddenly change his ways.
Seeing that Liu and Qi Xu had no intention of nodding, Qi Dahai continued, "As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can divorce Qi Wangshi and make you Liu Qing the principal wife. Then Qi Xu will be promoted from a concubine's daughter to a legitimate daughter."
To be honest, this is indeed a huge temptation for Liu Qing.
All her life, she dreamed that her precious daughter could be a legitimate daughter like Qi Zhen, instead of a concubine's daughter who was looked down upon by others.
"Qi Dahai, can you really do it? Will Qi Wangshi be willing?"
When Qi Dahai heard her ask this, he knew that his trick was correct.
"That shrew is old, ugly, and foul-mouthed. I've wanted to divorce her for a long time, but we have to think about this matter carefully. There's no rush."
Qi Xu sneered and used the new words he learned from Yun Fu these days. This Qi Dahai is really good at making big promises!
Qi Dahai, on the other hand, was still full of confidence, and continued with a lick of his old face: "That's right, during this period, we have to come here secretly. You and Qi Xu will stay here for the time being and get us some food."
Qi Xu curled his lips sarcastically: "So this is why you came here today!"
Let her steal Yunfu and the others' food, and then secretly send it to them.
"You're truly worthy of being me! Qi Dahai! How dare you make such a shameless request!"
Qi Dahai didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stiffened his neck and said, "She has a whole cart of food. Why don't you steal some for me? If you take less each time, she won't notice."
As he spoke, he licked his lips again and reached out to grab the bowl of pork rib soup in Qi Xu's hand: "This soup, give it to Dad first. After that, go and get another bowl. She won't know if it's you who drank it anyway."
Qi Xu pulled his hand back and shouted, "Get out of here, or I'll go find Lord Jiang! Have you forgotten what he said last time? If you come to bother me and my mother again, he'll tie you up and beat you to death!"
Qi Xu knew that Qi Dahai was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He was not afraid of him, but was afraid of Jiang Cheng.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Cheng and the whip were mentioned, Qi Dahai instantly became timid.
The hope that had finally ignited in Liu's eyes was extinguished again.
This man is really hopeless!
What on earth are you still looking forward to?
He glanced at Qi Xu, who was standing aside and straightening his back, like an enraged little beast.
Liu suddenly made up her mind.
She hoped that her daughter would hold her head high and live happily, instead of living with her head down, humbly and cautiously in front of Qi Dahai and others.
"Qi Dahai, whoever wants to sit in your position as the legal wife can do so. I, Liu Qing, don't care! Xu'er doesn't care about your status as the legitimate daughter either! Having a father like you is the most shameful thing in her life."
"Go away, and don't show up in front of us mother and daughter again."
…
Seeing that she was losing her composure, Qi Dahai quickly began to use his dirty tricks of sweet talk: "Qing'er, listen to me, I will really divorce that ugly Qi Wangshi! I want to vomit when I see her! I will only love you in this life!"
"Qi Dahai! What did you say? You want to divorce me!"
Under the "kind" guidance of the three little dumplings, Qi Wangshi found the cave. She happened to hear these words, rushed in, and started fighting with Qi Dahai.
The three little dumplings stood in a row, holding the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Yunfu had prepared for them as a dessert, and ate while watching the fun.
"The fight has begun, the fight has begun!"
"Brother Xiaoyu, who do you think will win?" Qi Nian blinked his big black eyes and asked seriously.
Qi Yu peeled a chestnut and put it into her little mouth, and replied: "It's all the same, just dog biting dog."
In the end, Qi Wang bit off a piece of flesh from Qi Dahai's face, bringing this dog-eat-dog drama to an end.
——
The team stayed on this mountain for too long. After discussing with Yun Fu and obtaining her consent, Jiang Cheng ordered everyone to pack up and continue on their way.
Although the carriage had a lot of space, Liu and Qi Xu were both women after all.
In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Hanzhou and Yun Fu sat outside the carriage together.
As time went by, his injuries gradually recovered and his body became stronger and stronger.
He knew that all this was thanks to Yun Fu.
