After the Li family sent the village chief and the team leader away, they all kept their eyes on Li Mingqing.
"Dad, Mom, brother and sister-in-law, Jiaxue and I will go back to our room first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything. I'm really tired."
"Go back and rest. You must be exhausted from working and studying at the same time."
Old Lady Li immediately asked them to go into the house and rest.
After he entered the house, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms.
"Brother Mingqing, do you want me to steam or fry an egg to fill your stomach?"
"You haven't digested what you ate last night yet, so hurry up and wash up and go to bed."
"Just now I saw someone staring at you. It felt weird, but it was too dark and I couldn't see the person's face clearly."
Li Mingqing kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep quickly. Your man is the focus of the whole audience tonight. It's not surprising that someone is staring at me."
Seeing that he was really tired, Sun Jiaxue stopped talking.
She always felt something was wrong and was uneasy, but she hoped she was just overthinking it.
The next morning.
Sun Jiaxue was busy frying omelets when she heard someone shouting.
When they came out, it turned out to be Li Xiangxia. She had secretly run away without telling Li Dahua.
"Xiang Xia, is there something wrong with coming here so early?"
"What about Ming and Qing? I..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Xiangjun, who had rushed over, pulled her aside and said, "Sister, Dad and Mom are looking for you at home. Come home with me."
Li Xiangjun pulled her back breathlessly.
"Brother, let me go. I have something important to tell Mingqing. Why are you stopping me?" she said while kicking Li Xiangjun.
Sun Jiaxue stood at the door with a confused look on her face.
Which song is this?
"Sister-in-law, go back to your room and get busy. We're leaving first."
When Sun Jiaxue returned to the house, Li Xiangjun pulled Li Xiangxia aside and asked:
"Sister, what on earth are you trying to do? Dad and Mom are so angry that they sent me to Lao Li's house to find you. That's no less than murder and arson."
"You're so idle! You just do whatever your father and mother tell you to do! You're really making things worse. You're sick."
She walked back cursing.
She has been absent-minded since last night and just wants to ask Li Mingqing whether he has her in his heart.
If there was any, she would be willing to break off her relationship with Zhu Huamao.
But Li Dahua kept watching her and wouldn't let her go out. She finally ran out and almost saw Li Mingqing, but was caught by Li Xiangjun.
How could she not be angry? She really wanted to tear the roof off the house and go home crying and howling.
"You stupid girl, I told you not to go out but you insisted on going out. The date with the Zhu family has been set, there is no room for regrets."
"Old woman, from today on, you will stay at home and look after her until she gets engaged."
Li Xiangxia sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.
"Dad, Mom, I just want to ask what's going on. If Ming Qing wants to marry me, why does he need an engagement?"
The captain thought his daughter was crazy and slapped her in the face because he couldn't stand it anymore.
He saw how close Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were, and there was absolutely no way he would have anything to do with her.
If that's the case, why bother going to the Li family and bringing shame upon yourself?
If the villagers, especially the Zhu family, knew about this, how would they survive in the surrounding villages?
She wasn't the only child in the family, so she couldn't let her temper ruin the family's reputation. Li Xiangjun hadn't even found a wife yet, and Li Xianghong was also going to get married in a few years.
The captain's house had been noisy for about half an hour. If it weren't for the captain's house, there would definitely be a lot of people outside by now.
Li Ming had just finished washing his face and was about to sit down to eat breakfast when he heard his wife speak softly:
"Brother Mingqing, Xiangxia came to look for you just now but was pulled back by her brother."
She felt something was wrong because she had seen Li Xiangxia hanging around the door several times.
Girls are naturally sensitive and she knew Li Xiangxia's little thoughts. Even though Li Mingqing gave her enough sense of security, she still felt sad.
"Wife, don't pay attention to her from now on. She's not very smart."
While drinking porridge, Li Mingqing remembered what Sun Jiaxue had said to him last night.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
"System, is the monitoring still online?" Forget it, I can't rely on it.
[Ding! Online 24 hours a day, rest assured host]
"Look at the surveillance footage from last night."
Immediately afterwards, Li Mingqing saw a man circling around the Li family stealthily. Judging from his height and posture, it must be Li Goudan.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be planning to steal from the Li family.
Nothing valuable was left outside the house; everything was kept inside the space.
Li Goudan could only go empty-handed.
No, there is also the thirty or so yuan that my wife sewed on the pillow.
"Wife, I suddenly remembered something. A thief broke into my colleague's house and stole all the money he had put under his pillow."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiaxue stared at him with wide eyes, as if her money was gone.
She felt uneasy as she thought of the money sewn into the pillow.
She came back late last night and fell asleep before she even checked if the money was there.
"Wife, don't get excited. Our village is so peaceful and there are generally no thieves. Stealing will lead to jail."
"But wasn't your colleague's house robbed?"
"Yes, so you should be careful at home and let some of the children accompany you, or you can go to the fields with mother."
If Li Goudan becomes mentally twisted and sees Sun Jiaxue doing something hurtful at home alone, it will be too late.
"Then I'll take out the money and keep it close to me and go to work with Mom."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Okay, just stay there and chat with mom."
"That won't do. Now that you have work points, I have to go and earn them too."
"Don't tire yourself out. Wear a straw hat to protect yourself from the sun when you go, and bring some egg cakes with you so you can eat when you're hungry."
