"The Liu family is really rich... Which family can afford so much fresh meat these days..." Shen Yiting couldn't help but feel indignant after hearing this: "Even your Captain Qu doesn't eat in the cafeteria."
"I mean, Sister Lu, I think you'd better forget it. She's living a good life, but you're worrying about her illnesses." Xiao Song also looked disgusted.
Lu Qin asked back, "Did you see clearly? Did Lu Qi really eat it?"
"My vision is 2.0! I even want to be a sniper someday. I could see it clearly, like a whole pot of soup. The Lius are greedy, and you can't usually see them, secretly eating at home in the middle of the night." Xiao Song described what he saw in detail. "And there was that woman with a big belly. She ate faster than anyone else, and after eating for a while she was complaining about a stomachache. In the end, the Liu family said they'd save another portion for her, and she finally stopped making noises."
"Didn't their family say that the three wives and concubines fight and live in peace? I don't think it's that simple. Which woman can tolerate her husband bringing another woman into the house openly?" Shen Yiting continued to complain.
Lu Qin was puzzled.
Could it be that Lu Qi and Liu Zifeng really lied to her?
But what good is there in pretending to be sick?
You can't say that he deceived her trust and sympathy, right?
But Lu Qin felt that it was unlikely.
Doing so will not benefit either Lu Qi or Liu Zifeng at all.
Lu Qi obviously doesn't like people like Liu Zifeng, and she doesn't want to marry into the Liu family and become the "third wife".
When they met that day, I felt that Lu Qi's dislike for Liu Zifeng was almost extreme.
So why...
She still got married? And she got married so easily!
In fact, Lu Qin always felt that something was wrong, but she could not remember it.
For example...
Why did Lu Qi marry Liu Zifeng so decisively even though she didn't like him? Her behavior that day showed that she really disliked Liu Zifeng, and Lu Qi even hinted at some hope for Xiao Xu. But Liu Zifeng said something that stunned her.
Liu Zifeng must have some leverage over Lu Qi.
Why did Lu Qi not care at all after her mother "sold" her? Given her selfish personality, even if it was her biological mother, it would be hard for her not to take a bite of such a large sum of "bride price" from her, right?
But when she had detained her aunt before, she had counted every penny of her property, and it was obvious that Lu Qi had not taken a single penny.
Lu Qin felt an indescribable weirdness about all this.
…
"Xiao Song, I have a task for you." Lu Qi thought for a moment and instructed Song Xuejin, "You stay at the foot of the mountain for the next few days. Every few days, go to the Liu family to inquire about the situation and urge them to check and see if they have any results. Then continue to observe the Liu family's movements and tell me if you find anything."
Xiao Song was assigned to a sentry-like mission for the first time. He felt very honored and excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He even saluted and said, "Yes! I will complete the mission!"
Lu Qin shook her head. "Silly child, don't let them find you. If anything goes wrong, just run. There are a large army and security patrols in the community anyway. Go and tell them, okay?"
"Oh! Sister Lu, don't worry! I will definitely complete it beautifully!" Song Xuejin patted his still not-so-strong chest and said.
"If no one is home at night, go find your Aunt Liang and ask her to cook for you." Lu Qin was still worried and gave a reminder.
Song Xuejin's parents were both Qu Dongbo's subordinates. His mother was a rare female soldier, but she wasn't some kind of artsy soldier; she was a true soldier.
So the two of them were busy and basically had no time to take care of Xiao Song.
I had asked Xu Mingyan to discipline him and let him go to school, but Xiao Song didn't want to study at all.
This time I was running errands for Lu Qin, so Lu Qin naturally had to take good care of him.
Fortunately, this child is very likable. Liang Shuyuye likes him very much and often invites him to his home for dinner.
Lu Qin also agreed that since she was given the position of "little brother", she should also be paid a salary.
…
Having said that, Song Xuejin had been keeping an eye on the Liu family these days, and he actually sensed something was amiss.
As soon as night falls, the Liu family always closes the door to eat.
It’s not a big deal, the key is to have meat at every meal.
Song Xuejin couldn't hide this from him. Even a teenager would be greedy. In this day and age, it was not easy to get a bite of meat.
So the aroma of meat could not escape his nose.
These are Song Xuejin’s original words.
However, the aroma of meat was unlike anything he had smelled before.
Not pork, beef or mutton.
It's a... very strange smell.
Xiao Song didn’t know how to describe it, he just felt it was very fragrant and wanted to take a bite.
Because he could smell the aroma of meat coming from the Liu family every night these days, Xiao Song could eat two more bowls of rice at night.
Liang Shuyu even thought that Lu Qin was not letting the child have enough food to eat, so he tried every means to hint to her not to mistreat the child.
Lu Qin said she felt wronged.
Apart from that, Xiao Song was unable to get any useful information.
Liu Zifeng is worthy of being **hu. He is smooth in what he says and does. He is high-profile when he should be high-profile, and keeps silent when he should.
Lu Qi's condition was thus delayed.
The Liu family used their connections to have Lu Qi undergo another CT scan of his brain, but they couldn't find any problems.
Other examinations were even more difficult to complete and ended up in nothing.
Lu Qin knew that this was difficult for them, so she didn't ask any further.
However, Lu Qi herself was fine. When I saw her again, she was fine except that she was a little thin.
But the symptoms of dizziness, vomiting from time to time and not wanting to eat have always been with me.
Lu Qin would never think it was that simple.
Lu Qi's symptoms were too similar to those of a "cold wave virus" infection, so she had to be extremely careful.
…
"Sister... can I not visit the Liu family? I visit them every day, but nothing special happens." Xiao Song complained, "Besides, it's really too torturous to watch them eat meat every day, but not be able to eat it."
"Hahaha, Aunt Liang didn't make anything delicious for you? I heard that she made dumplings with vegetable and bacon stuffing for you yesterday." Shen Yiting laughed.
"How can bacon be as delicious as fresh meat?" Xiao Song complained.
Indeed, in the seventh month after the snowstorm, both fresh and frozen meat were scarce. Most of the meat available on the market was pickled meat and canned food, and there was very little fresh meat available.
The food that Lu Qin's family had previously stockpiled was almost finished, and now only some pickled meat and dried meat that were not easy to spoil were left.
This was prepared early, not to mention other families.
Even Xu Mingyan, a diplomatic expert with great abilities, complained that buying some meat was harder than climbing to the sky.
"Okay, I remember that the breeding base occasionally has unsuitable piglets and the like. If they can't be raised, they have to be sold. How about we exchange them with them? I'll get some meat for you to eat and let you try meat." Lu Qin comforted him.
But I was thinking, if everyone has no meat to eat...
Where did the Liu family get the meat?
This is not a small amount. According to the report from Xiao Song, the "ear-reporting god", this family has meat to eat every day!
Where does the meat come from?
