Chapter 35 Reluctant to Part...
Qin Dahe rolled his eyes and was about to fall down spectacularly.
"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Qin Dahe could only feign composure, looking at her with shock and excitement, stammering, "Sister...you're not lying to me, are you?"
"What good would it do me to lie to you!" Qin Yingxue said speechlessly.
Qin Dahe pinched his face hard, and after feeling the pain, a happy smile appeared on his face: "I didn't expect there to be so many..."
Seeing Qin Dahe grinning foolishly, Qin Yingxue felt a pang of sympathy, but still deliberately asked, "Third Brother, when will you receive this money, which I've been keeping with me?"
"Why are you giving this to me? I told you it's part of your dowry. Sister, haven't your older brothers picked quite a lot these past few days? No, I can't let them catch up." With that, Qin Dahe hurriedly went to the woodshed, picked up a bamboo basket, and headed off to earn money.
But after taking only two steps, Qin Dahe suddenly remembered something and ran back, looking at Qin Yingxue curiously and asking, "Little sister, you didn't tell Mom about Sanghuang, so will Mom be able to persuade Dad?"
"I told Mom about the mulberries," Qin Yingxue replied.
"That's right! Then I need to speed things up even more." Qin Dahe ran outside excitedly, shouting as he ran, "Little sister, tell Mom not to save me any food..."
A warm current flowed through Qin Yingxue's heart.
Qin Dahe knew perfectly well that he had saved over four thousand yuan from selling Sanghuang mushrooms, yet he gave it all to her without the slightest hesitation.
Knowing that the mulberry harvest was about to begin, they were even more eager to pick more mulberries and save more money.
"Daughter, is your third brother bothering you again?" Li Hehua came out of the house after hearing the noise and asked with concern.
"No, Third Brother is out busy," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
Following closely behind Li Hehua, Qin Jiasheng looked at Qin Yingxue with shining eyes: "Girl, is what you told your mother true? Mulberries can really be sold for money?"
"Yes!" Qin Yingxue nodded. "Mulberries can be eaten as snacks, or used to make dried fruit and wine. They have a wide range of uses! They're just relatively inexpensive. I'll ask Qian Xiaofeng about it later."
"Why does he accept everything and want everything?" Qin Jiasheng asked.
Qin Yingxue calmly replied, "That's just their line of work; they do whatever makes money."
Qin Jiasheng fell silent. Li Hehua rolled her eyes at him: "Boss Qian is leading us to make money, and you're already doubting him? Old Qin, how come I didn't know you were so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Qin Jiasheng smiled sheepishly.
Li Hehua looked at Qin Yingxue with a gentle expression and said, "Daughter, don't take it to heart by arguing with your father. We'll still need to trouble Xiaofeng with the bricks and tiles! Once the mulberries are harvested, we'll have more free time, and we'll have the money to build the house..."
But by then, Qin Yingxue had already gotten married.
A sudden feeling of reluctance welled up in Li Hehua's heart.
My newly reunited daughter, whom I haven't even had a chance to kiss enough, is about to leave...
Li Hehua turned around and rubbed her eyes.
Qin Yingxue noticed Li Hehua's actions, her heart tightened, and she quickly went over to ask with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
“I just suddenly remembered that you’re going to marry Song Yanchuan. Yingxue, Mom can’t bear to see you go…” Li Hehua said, her eyes red.
"Mom..." Qin Yingxue smiled and comforted her, "As long as you miss me, I'll come home to see you and Dad right away. I'm just going to join the army, so it'll be easy for me to come home."
Li Hehua felt comforted and patted Qin Yingxue's hand.
After returning to her room, Qin Yingxue closed the door and used her mind to take out a large piece of bird's nest that she had soaked that morning. With nothing else to do, she began to pick out the feathers.
This is delicate work that can calm the mind.
Only after all the hairs had been plucked out did the turmoil in Li Hehua's heart begin to subside.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn, she understood what family love truly meant.
In a short period of time, her cold and hardened heart was gradually warmed and softened by the Qin family, and she genuinely wanted to help them improve their lives.
Actually, she didn't do much; she just provided them with an opportunity.
How much they can earn depends on their own efforts.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, she also took a commission from their earnings.
Only Sanghuang (a type of medicinal mushroom) was something she earned without making a single penny.
The sad and laughable thing is that I wasted my life in the previous one.
Thinking of her previous life, Qin Yingxue suddenly remembered that dream and Jiang Linlin.
After marrying Xie Guodong, Jiang Linlin got her wish and spent her days in blissful intimacy with him.
On the day of their return visit, the couple brought large and small bags, and Cai Lihua smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared.
Seeing that the young couple had a good relationship, Jiang Qingfeng felt relieved and started asking Xie Guodong all sorts of questions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cai Lihua pulled Jiang Linlin into the bedroom and asked in a low voice, "Linlin, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with that Li Jianhong?"
Jiang Linlin's heart tightened, but she smiled and asked, "He's the one who helped me out of a predicament. I'm grateful to him, and I even considered him my sworn brother. Mom, didn't he go back home? Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"
“Yesterday, a pregnant woman came to our door looking for Li Jianhong,” Cai Lihua said, frowning. “She said she was Li Jianhong’s wife. Li Jianhong has been away from home for half a month and hasn’t come back. I don’t know how she found our house.”
Jiang Linlin's face darkened: "Mom, if that woman dares to come again, kick her out!"
In her past life, she went to find Zhou Xiaoxia after learning of her existence.
That woman wasn't as pretty as her, and she was rather mild-mannered. All she did was give birth to a son and a daughter for Li Jianhong.
After she revealed her identity, the woman's tears flowed like a tap. Just then, Li Jianhong returned and, without asking a single question, slapped himself.
She was utterly shocked.
She raised him for twenty years, along with his children and this woman, yet he actually hit her for her sake.
Jiang Linlin snapped and scratched Li Jianhong's face without thinking.
The result was disastrous. She was beaten black and blue, and suffered internal bleeding. If her neighbors hadn't called the police, she probably would have been beaten to death by Li Jianhong.
The woman stood to the side, crying, neither stopping nor trying to persuade her.
Since you still dare to come to my door in this life, I will definitely repay you tenfold for both the old and new grudges.
That night, in the cramped and dark room, Jiang Linlin stepped on the thigh of a woman with long, disheveled hair and a face covered in tears.
Seeing her round belly and those deer-like, wet eyes, Jiang Linlin felt a surge of malice and raised her foot to kick the woman's stomach.
If it weren't for this vixen, how could I have suffered so much in my past life?
In this life, she is an avenger. Since you two are so in love, then let your family be reunited!
“Host…” the system tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Suddenly, a dark figure pounced from the corner and rammed into Jiang Linlin.
Jiang Linlin was caught off guard and bumped into by the other party, making her dizzy and disoriented. It took her a while to regain her balance.
