Qin Shan nodded in agreement.
If those two kids were obedient and sensible, it would be fine, but they don't remember any kindness at all; they've really been spoiled.
The Zhao family only talked about disciplining their child, but in reality, they spoiled him terribly. What family has a seven or eight-year-old child who plays all day long in the mountains and fields and doesn't help with chores at home?
There was a knock on the door.
Liu Yun curled her lip: "It must be Aunt Zhao next door, she's shameless."
Zhang Guihua's face was grim, but she still got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu rushed in. Qin Chuan grabbed one of them and pressed down on their shoulders, ignoring the two children's struggles.
Aunt Zhao came over with a basket and saw the scene. She remained calm and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, my two children are so unreasonable. They always want to eat fish. I know you are a generous person, but how can I give the children food for free? I have a basket of vegetables here. You can just give them a little bit as a token, so they can have a taste."
Zhang Guihua looked at the basket of vegetables, which looked wilted and had been sitting there for who knows how long. Besides, they weren't short of vegetables. She said, "Hongxia, it's not that your sister-in-law doesn't want your kids to eat. Xiaotao and the others only caught a few, about the size of a palm. They were all gone in one bite each as soon as they were put on the table. If Xiaolong and Xiaohu really want to eat, you can have them catch some from the river."
Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "My child is no match for your child's skills. I don't know how many times he has gone to the river, but he hasn't caught a single one."
At this moment, Liu Yun walked over and said sarcastically, "Auntie, everyone knows that your Xiaolong and Xiaohu are very capable. They are good at raiding bird nests, so they never lack food."
My daughter told me that they were the ones who found the bird's nest, and then they even managed to steal it. They're so shameless.
He glanced at Yunling beside him and asked, "Third sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
Yunling: "Yes, she's really good at climbing trees. She can climb such tall trees in a flash. She's really skilled."
Qin Yan said indignantly, "That was the bird's nest that my sister and I found. They took it away as soon as they arrived."
Aunt Zhao glared at Zhao Long and Zhao Hu beside her, then waved her hand: "Hurry up and come over to apologize."
The two brothers looked away, and seeing their grandmother's threatening gaze, they could only say, "We're sorry, we were wrong, we won't do it again."
The apology that came out off the cuff lacked sincerity.
After Zhao Long apologized, he rolled his eyes and shouted, "I've apologized, so can I eat your fish now?"
Zhang Guihua laughed and said, "Didn't I already tell you that my family has finished eating all the fish? If you want more, go catch some in the river yourselves."
Zhao Hu shouted, "You're lying! There's still some left, but you won't give me any!"
Zhang Guihua looked at Aunt Zhao, shook her head, and said with disapproval, "You really should discipline your child. How can he talk to his elders like that? Besides, it's really undignified to ask for food with your hand."
"Only beggars beg for food," Qin Yan muttered softly.
Aunt Zhao looked displeased and said, "The child is still young, he will understand in the future. We adults can't hold a grudge against a child."
Zhang Guihua, her face darkening, said, "Is there anything else?"
Aunt Zhao said, "No..."
Zhang Guihua grabbed her arm and dragged her out. Qin Chuan also picked up the two unruly children and threw them out, where they landed on the ground with a thud. He then slammed the door shut.
Zhang Guihua turned around, looked at the crowd watching the show behind her, and said angrily, "What are you all standing here for? Don't you have anything to do?"
The Qin family members looked at each other, then went back to their rooms to take an afternoon nap.
Yunling lay in bed, unable to sleep for a while. She glanced at Qin Chuan beside her and asked, "Isn't anyone taking care of those two children?"
Qin Chuan scoffed lightly, his voice mocking: "Zhao Wu will take care of it when he gets back."
Yunling felt a pang of sympathy for Zhao Wu. He was cuckolded, and it was given to him by his childhood friend. He was also unknowingly taking care of the cuckold's son and even had to help the twins find a way out in the future.
"Zhao Wu is so pitiful."
Yunling suddenly felt someone watching her, and turned her head to meet Qin Chuan's dark eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Chuan stared at her, his voice cold: "If you want to leave in the future, just say so in advance."
Yunling understood and said with a smile, "I will. If you have someone you like, you should also tell me. I won't be a stumbling block."
Qin Chuan didn't speak, but looked at Yun Ling carefully for a couple more times, and then suddenly smiled.
He was tall with strong features, a detached and indifferent gaze, and a powerful aura. Now, he suddenly smiled.
It's also somewhat appealing.
Yunling closed her eyes, ignoring the charming person radiating his charisma, and asked in her mind, "System, can you wake me up in thirty minutes?"
I slept for too long at noon and suddenly felt drowsy.
【Can.】
"I'm going to sleep," Yunling said with a yawn.
Qin Chuan hummed in agreement.
Half an hour later, a piercing alarm-like sound rang in her mind, startling Yunling awake. After a while, she calmed down and asked softly:
"System, shall we change this sound?"
【……Can't.】
Yunling was a little disappointed, but when she thought about discovering another function of the system, she became happy again.
Qin Chuan was also awakened by Yun Ling's commotion and frowned as he looked at her.
"I had a nightmare and woke up in a fright," Yunling explained.
Qin Chuan closed his eyes again.
She tiptoed out of bed, went to the yard to fetch a basin of water to wash her face. The well water was icy cold, and her sleepiness vanished instantly. She ate two small pieces of beef jerky in the yard, which made her mouth water. The jerky was spicy and delicious. She drank a few sips of cool boiled water to suppress the taste in her mouth.
Back in the room, Qin Chuan was still asleep, motionless. She carefully sat on the chair, which creaked. She instinctively looked at Qin Chuan; he was still asleep, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Without a cell phone, it's so boring. I watch the leaves swaying in the wind outside the window and listen to the cicadas chirping.
After watching for a while, I unconsciously fell asleep on the table again.
She was woken up again by Qin Yan. The little girl stood in front of the table, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Third Aunt, can we go fishing this afternoon? The fish at noon today was really delicious."
"Alright!" Yunling glanced at the sun outside the window. "Let's go when it's not hot in the afternoon, otherwise we'll easily get heatstroke."
Qin Yan nodded and said, "I know, my third aunt fainted from heatstroke on her first day of work."
Yun Ling: “…”
You have a really good memory.
In the afternoon, Yunling asked Qin Tao to lead the way to a place with many large trees to gather pig feed.
It's cooler.
Perhaps thinking of slacking off, Qin Yan moved very quickly, occasionally urging Yun Ling to hurry up with her eyes.
Yunling really tried her best, and she felt that she had made a lot of progress.
