"Dad!" Qi Zhongcai looked at Qi Fusheng with red eyes and shouted, "I must divide this family, even if you beat me to death, I will divide it!"
Qi Fusheng's body swayed, and his dark brown face turned bluish-gray.
"Fusheng." Gao Qiufeng rushed over and helped the shaky Qi Fusheng sit on the stool, crying, "Zhongcai is determined to split the family, just agree."
"Qiufeng?" Qi Fusheng looked at Gao Qiufeng in surprise.
Gao Qiufeng was crying hard, but she turned her back to Qi Zhongcai and didn't cry out loud because she didn't want her son to see her sad.
She nodded painfully to Qi Fusheng
Qi Fusheng sighed deeply, his teeth chattering.
"Well, if you want to split up, then do it."
Gao Qiufeng wiped away her tears and helped Qi Fusheng into the house.
Liang Lu was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. It was the first time she saw Qi Zhongcai disobeying her father-in-law like this.
Qi Zhong is a filial son. He basically does whatever his parents-in-law say and never resists, let alone resisting in front of them.
She had just noticed that her father-in-law looked unhappy, and she was afraid that he would be so angry that he could not breathe.
Qi Qingmei stood in front of the window, not daring to breathe, and witnessed the entire process.
Only when he saw that Qi Zhongcai didn't tell anyone about that incident did he feel relieved.
"Liang Lu, carry Mingming into the house to sleep. I'm going to go out for a walk." Qi Zhongcai said in a muffled voice without looking at Liang Lu, and walked out.
Liang Lu glanced at his back and went into the house carrying her son.
Qi Qingmei bit her lip and followed him out.
Inside the house, Qi Fu was very angry and sat on the edge of the kang, gasping for breath.
Gao Qiufeng stood by the kang and gently stroked his chest.
"The child is grown up and has his own ideas. We should just follow him."
"Qiufeng, are you really willing to let it go?" Qi Fusheng looked at Gao Qiufeng.
Gao Qiufeng smiled bitterly and sighed, "What can I do if I'm reluctant? Zhongcai has the idea of splitting up the family. If we force them to live together, everyone will feel uncomfortable. Splitting up the family doesn't mean we're breaking off ties."
Qi Fusheng held Gao Qiufeng's hand, patted it gently, and said, "Don't worry, I will be with you forever!"
Gao Qiufeng laughed, "Someone will always leave first, how can we be together forever?"
"Then you go first. I will bury you properly, and then I will come to find you." Qi Fusheng looked at Gao Qiufeng seriously and said.
Gao Qiufeng glared at Qi Fusheng, "Nonsense, if I really go ahead of you, you have to live well."
Qi Fusheng sighed and put Gao Qiufeng's hand on his face.
…
Qi Qingmei followed Qi Zhongcai all the way.
Seeing him walking towards the river where there were fewer people, she bit her lower lip and followed him.
Qi Zhongcai was sitting on a big rock with lush branches behind him. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see him at all.
The river in front of me is flowing gently, soothing the stones in the river like a transparent ribbon, sliding past gently and delicately.
Despite such beautiful river water, Qi Zhongcai felt afraid.
There was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. He closed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly together. He then suddenly opened them and his breathing was disordered.
It took him a while to suppress the urge to get up and leave.
Since he is afraid, he must face it bravely.
We can't let this shadow accompany him for the rest of his life!
"elder brother!"
Qi Qingmei's voice came from behind him. Qi Zhongcai's body stiffened, and then he slowly turned around, his face a little pale.
Qi Qingmei came over, sat next to Qi Zhongcai, and looked at the river. "Thank you for not telling Dad and Mom."
Qi Zhongcai loosened his clenched hands, tightened them, and loosened them again. "I promised you that I would not tell anyone about this, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good!" Qi Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Then is your separation due to this matter?"
Qi Qingmei was happy to see Qi Zhongcai split up the family.
Only by having less contact with Qi Fusheng and Gao Qiufeng can the secret between them be avoided.
Qi Zhongcai pursed his lips and said after a while, "...No!"
Qi Qingmei knew it was true, but she didn't expose Qi Zhongcai.
She turned her head and looked at him with a smile, "Brother, you are right to separate the family. You and sister-in-law should have your own space. If you always live with us, sister-in-law will definitely not be happy."
Qi Zhongcai's face grew colder and colder.
He just thought Qi Qingmei was worried that he would follow her out, but it turned out that she was talking about this.
She wished he would split up the family.
After Qi Qingmei left, Qi Zhongcai did not move, but silently looked at the river in front of him.
Qi Qingmei walked back slowly, thinking about what happened that day...
After Jiang Xiaohui was washed away by the flood, Qi Qingmei went to look for him for a few days but didn't come back, so Qi Zhongcai was sent by his father to look for Qi Qingmei.
He was very anxious because his sister was missing.
Thinking that the villagers hadn't found Qi Qingmei, Qi Zhongcai went to places they had never been to look for her.
After searching for two days, he finally found it.
Qi Qingmei and Jiang Xiaohui were trapped in a cave next to the downstream canal.
Qi Zhongcai climbed up the rocks and slowly slid down. The sharp rocks cut his hands, but the pain was nothing compared to the joy of finding his sister.
He slid into the cave and found that Jiang Xiaohui was injured. There was a big cut on his calf by a rock. Although it was not bleeding, the wound looked horrifying.
He wanted to lead the two of them to climb up the hillside, but Jiang Xiaohui couldn't move at all.
Jiang Xiaohui couldn't leave, and Qi Qingmei didn't want to leave either, wanting to stay in the cave with him.
Qi Zhongcai could only stay with the two of them in the cave, waiting for the rain to stop and the water level to drop before they left.
But they didn't expect that it would rain heavily again in the middle of the night.
The flood soon reached the entrance of the cave.
The hole was very shallow, and the weight of the three people caused the soil at the entrance to fall down continuously.
The clod of earth fell into the flood without even a splash.
The rain continued to pour down in torrents.
If they didn't leave, once the cave entrance collapsed, all three of them would die.
But the river water had already reached the entrance of the cave, and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
Qi Qingmei stared at Hong Shui with a chill in her eyes. She turned her head to look at Qi Zhongcai and asked, "Brother, do you love me?"
Qi Zhongcai was stunned. He loved his sister very much, but he couldn't say such explicit words. He could only nod embarrassedly.
Qi Qingmei's face changed, and she said viciously, "Since you love me, then you should die for me. As long as you go down, Brother Xiaohui and I can live. Otherwise, none of us three can survive."
Qi Zhongcai stared at Qi Qingmei with wide eyes, unable to believe his ears.
He must have heard it wrong.
How could his sister do this to him?
Before he could come to his senses, Qi Qingmei pushed him into the rolling flood...
"Qi Qingmei, are you crazy?" Jiang Xiaohui looked at Qi Qingmei in surprise with his eyes wide open.
Qi Qingmei reached out and wiped the rain off her face. "I don't want this to happen, but if I don't push him down, neither of us will survive."
Jiang Xiaohui looked at Qi Qingmei in fear. When he looked down, there was no trace of Qi Zhongcai. He was swallowed by the flood.
He was so scared that he sat down in the mud and pointed at Qi Qingmei with a trembling finger, "You crazy person."
