A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 34 Am I still your biological son?

She found it amusing to watch a bear being chased by bees for a sip of honey, so she lingered there for a while to rest.

Unexpectedly, her short stay yielded an unexpected reward: she discovered bird's nest.

It's still the finest bird's nest—blood bird's nest.

Qin Yingxue yawned. It was too late. She decided to get ready tomorrow.

Qin Yingxue fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

I was woken up by Qin Dahai the next day.

"Little sister, Qian Xiaofeng is here to see you!" Qin Dahe knocked loudly on the door from outside.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Yingxue is sleeping, don't you know what's good for you..." Li Hehua's voice faded into the distance, occasionally mixed with Qin Dahe's howling.

Qin Yingxue was woken up from her sleep by Qin Dahe's commotion.

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, I slowly stretched.

As soon as Qin Yingxue finished dressing and opened the door, Qin Dahe appeared out of nowhere, looking mysterious. "Little sister, Qian Xiaofeng is looking for you."

Qin Yingxue rolled her eyes at Qin Dahe, her good mood dampened by his interruption of her sleep.

Inside the main room, Qin Jiasheng, Qin Dahai, and Qin Dajiang were all talking to Qian Xiaofeng. When they saw Qin Yingxue come in, they all looked at her.

"Yingxue, you're awake! Uncle Qin just said he wanted to buy bricks and tiles, and it just so happens that I know a friend whose family makes those." Qian Xiaofeng said to Qin Yingxue with a smile.

Qin Yingxue nodded calmly and asked, "Is it expensive?"

“I bought them for someone else before. The bricks cost 20 cents each, and the tiles were a bit more expensive, 30 cents each,” Qian Xiaofeng quickly replied.

“We only need two rooms, not many. It’s not cost-effective to build too far away, so let’s not trouble your friend,” Qin Jiasheng waved his hand and refused.

Tiles cost three cents each, while other places cost three and a half cents each. We can't make things difficult for Qian Xiaofeng.

"Dad..." Qin Dahe immediately became anxious.

Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang also looked anxious.

In the past, they wouldn't have even dared to dream of living in a brick house.

But I've made some money in the last few days, enough to build two brick houses.

It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's both stylish and beautiful.

In the entire village, only Song Yanchuan's family has one.

Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter.

But since their father was the one in charge at home, the two brothers could only think about it and then slumped down.

"Uncle, my friend is in a hurry to get funds back, and there's a discount. Buy 1000 bricks and get 100 free, buy 1000 tiles and get 150 free. As long as you pay the deposit first, you can have them whenever you want."

Qian Xiaofeng said calmly.

Qin Yingxue remained calm and composed. She knew that Qin Jiasheng and Li Hehua were frugal throughout their lives, and she was sure they would be reluctant to spend such a large sum of money to build a brick house for them.

But she couldn't pay out of her own pocket, as that would only scare them away, so she had to come up with this solution.

Offer the maximum discount possible without arousing their suspicion.

Hearing about the buy-one-get-one-free offer, not only the three Qin brothers, but even Qin Jiasheng's attitude softened.

"Dad, the walls of our house keep crumbling, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night feeling something in my mouth, and when I look, it's just yellow mud." Before Qin Dahe could finish speaking, Li Hehua, who had just come in, tapped him on the head. "If you don't like the house, you're sleeping in the pigsty tonight... All I hear is your nagging, it's so annoying!"

"Mom..." Qin Dahe looked pitifully at Li Hehua, "Am I still your own son? How can you be so heartless to your own son?"

“I have three sons. One more or one less makes no difference to me!” Li Hehua said irritably.

Qin Dahe immediately wilted, standing to the side with a face full of resentment.

"This time, I'm on Third Brother's side!" Qin Yingxue suddenly said.

Qin Dahe's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Qin Yingxue with excitement.

"This is such a rare opportunity, Dad, Mom, let's just tear down the old house and build a new one," Qin Yingxue said slowly, looking at everyone.

"Uncle, Aunt, no rush! You two can discuss it slowly. I'll go with Dajiang to get busy first," Qian Xiaofeng said quickly upon seeing this.

Since it was a major event for the family to build a house, Qin Dajiang really wanted to stay.

But Qian Xiaofeng only gave him one yuan for helping him for one morning. One yuan could buy five bricks. In order to save money to build a new house, Qin Dajiang had no choice but to follow Qian Xiaofeng.

Qin Jiasheng puffed on his pipe, the smoke swirling around him. Li Hehua glared at him irritably and pulled Qin Yingxue into the courtyard.

"Daughter, we know you mean well. Give your dad and me some time, we'll get back to you later," Li Hehua said gently, patting Qin Yingxue's hand.

"Mom, there's something I haven't told you yet." Qin Yingxue glanced around to make sure no one was there before whispering a few words in Li Hehua's ear.

Li Hehua's mouth dropped open in surprise as she stared at Qin Yingxue in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time.

Qin Yingxue looked at Li Hehua and nodded with a smile.

Li Hehua blinked, then covered her mouth with her hand, and tears streamed down her face.

"Mom..." Qin Yingxue was startled and hurriedly tried to hug Li Hehua, but then felt a little embarrassed.

"Mom is so happy! Daughter, ever since you came home, our family has had good luck too. This good fortune is all thanks to you," Li Hehua said excitedly.

"Mom, I am your daughter," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.

Li Hehua gave Qin Yingxue a deep look, then excitedly ran into the house, calling out, "Old Qin, Old Qin..."

Qin Yingxue no longer cared what Li Hehua said to Qin Jiasheng.

All she knew was that the Qin family building a brick house was a done deal.

"Yingxue, what did you say to Mom? How come Mom and Dad changed their minds so quickly?" Qin Dahe followed Qin Yingxue into the house and asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Guess!" Qin Yingxue looked at Qin Dahe with a smile.

Qin Dahe scratched his head sheepishly: "You know I'm not very bright, so just tell me!"

Qin Dahe suddenly remembered something, his eyes widening as he looked at Qin Yingxue nervously and asked, "You're not going to tell Mom about selling Sanghuang, are you?"

Qin Yingxue rolled her eyes at Qin Dahe and said irritably, "No."

Qin Dahe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's your dowry, you can't touch it even if you're building a house."

"I married Song Yanchuan because he wanted me as a person. Why are you and my two older brothers so insistent on saving up my dowry?" Sometimes, Qin Yingxue was a little confused.

"A dowry is a woman's source of confidence when she gets married. I know that with Song Yanchuan's character, he won't look down on you or bully you. But no matter what, it's good for a young lady to have money on hand. If something happens in an emergency, she won't panic if she has money in hand."

Qin Dahe scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Third Brother, do you know how much money you've saved up with me?" Qin Yingxue asked Qin Dahe suddenly, her heart pounding.

"Little sister, I will try my best to save as much money as possible before you get married," Qin Dahe said earnestly, patting his chest.

"4884." Qin Yingxue stared intently at Qin Dahe and suddenly announced a number.

Qin Dahe stared at Qin Yingxue in astonishment.

"You made money from selling it three times," Qin Yingxue continued.
