112 Chapter 112: It Must Have Been Deliberate
“I… I have to go! Ye’er, you must listen to your Big Brother at home, okay?” After she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyao fled without even looking at Song Ye.
If she didn’t run away, she was afraid that her face would turn as red as a baboon’s butt.
“Oh, okay.” Seeing his sister-in-law run off in a hurry, the little child responded with a little disappointment.
Then, he returned to the room.
!!
At this moment, the little child realized that his big brother had actually gotten up and even walked to the door. He seemed to have seen the little one giving his sister-in-law the candy.
At this moment, Song Que had an odd expression on his face.
When he saw his younger brother looking at him with an innocent gaze, he quickly regained his composure.
“Ahem! Let’s continue with our studies,” he said.
With that, he walked back to the desk on his crutches.
He didn’t want to waste food, that was all. After all, they had just bought a courtyard dwelling and didn’t have much money left.
He didn’t stop Ye’er from taking the half-stick of candied hawthorns away. That was all… Surely he didn’t do anything wrong…
On the other end, Qin Xiaoyao had left the house.
She patted her face a few times with her chubby hands before she managed to calm herself down.
“An indirect kiss! This is the legendary indirect kiss!” she mumbled softly.
It was her attractive husband who had asked Ye’er to give her the candied hawthorns and candy.
So, was her attractive husband seducing her?
To do such a thing through a little kid, wasn’t it…
That was not right. Could it be that she was thinking too much?
No, no, no! She was definitely not thinking too much. Her attractive husband was becoming more caring towards her. Perhaps…
“Hehehehe…” Following that, she couldn’t resist letting out a somewhat ‘perverse’ laugh.
This attracted the attention of a few passers-by, who turned around to look at her.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao clear her throat, puff out her chest and walk briskly away.
As she walked, she was still mulling over the incident in her mind.
She really didn’t expect it. Her attractive husband had such an outwardly cold but inwardly passionate personality…
Then, she happily continued to eat the candied hawthorns, followed by the piece of candy.
Since her attractive husband had given them to her, she had to eat them.
Otherwise, if Big Girl were to see them later and asked Qin Xiaoyao to share them with her, what should she do?
When she arrived at the market on South Street, Big Girl Li was trying her best to sell her wares.
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao walking over, she quickly reported her sales so far to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Not many people are buying woven bamboo products after all. The straw sandals are selling better! Unfortunately, we don’t have that many straw sandals, and they didn’t last long.”
“Our straw sandals are cheap and of good quality. Of course, they sell well,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
“We have no choice for these few days. We’re busy moving house and don’t have time to make straw sandals.”
“Okay,” Big Girl Li responded.
“By the way, how are Aunt Song and the others? Did they jump for joy when they saw the new courtyard dwelling?” she asked Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.
She herself would have been overjoyed if she had such a big courtyard house.
When she went to Sister Sanya’s new house, she was so shocked that she almost jumped.
Sigh! When would her family be able to live in such a courtyard house as well?
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li with a smile.
“They didn’t jump, but they were really delighted.”
“Without even telling me, my mother-in-law took Yun’er to the market on West Street and bought stuff like chicken, duck, and pork to cook for lunch.”
“They even invited my father to our new house for lunch!”
When Big Girl Li heard they were having chicken and duck meat, she immediately started drooling.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao laughed even more happily.
“After that, I asked my father to invite my big brother and second brother as well.”
“Later, when we close the stall, you can go back with me and have a meal together with us.”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Big Girl Li’s face.
“Er…”
Qin Xiaoyao laughed and said, “With our relationship, you don’t have to be shy.”
“Hehe! In that case, thank you, Sister Sanya!” Big Girl Li accepted the invitation quickly.
After that, she worked even harder to attract customers.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and worked hard with her.
Finally, it was the market’s closing time.
Even though the business today wasn’t as good as before, the two of them closed the stall with a smile.
After that, they pushed the handcart toward Qin Xiaoyao’s new home.
...
Just as they reached the entrance of the courtyard dwelling, the two of them heard voices coming from the courtyard.
“It seems that my father and brothers have arrived,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Big Girl Li responded but was a little more reserved.
The moment Qin Xiaoyao pushed the door open and entered, she saw it was indeed her father and two brothers working busily in the courtyard.
At that moment, her father, Qin Dazhuang, was helping her brother, Qin Dahu, to chop firewood.
Her second brother, Qin Erhu, was fetching water for the kitchen.
Above the kitchen, smoke was rising in spirals, and the aroma of food was drifting out from inside.
“Sanya is back!” Qin Dahu was the first to notice Qin Xiaoyao. He raised his head and looked at his sister with a smile.
Qin Dazhuang also stood up. He held a long-handled ax as he looked at his daughter.
“Why did you come back so late? You can always close the stall early!” he grumbled a little.
“Hehe! We have not finished selling the items!” Qin Xiaoyao laughed as she replied.
...
Qin Dazhuang immediately gave his daughter a disapproving look.
Just as he was about to reprimand her, he heard Big Girl Li speak.
“Uncle Qin, Brother Dahu!”
Qin Dazhuang was no longer in the mood to chastise his daughter, so he quickly answered Big Girl Li.
Qin Dahu also looked at Big Girl Li with a smile.
“Big Girl, you are here too!” He smiled and greeted her.
“Mm-hmm! I’m doing business with Sister Sanya now!” Big Girl Li replied.
Then, Qin Xiaoyao was ignored as the rest began chatting.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t mind. She left Big Girl Li to chat with her father and big brother while she pushed the handcart to the storage room.
After putting the remaining woven bamboo products back into the storeroom, she went to help out in the kitchen.
Madam Liu and Song Yun had already heard the commotion outside and knew that Qin Xiaoyao had returned.
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao enter the kitchen, she quickly said, “The food is almost ready.”
“You can set up the table in the hall, and then we can bring out the food!”
“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao responded and got to work.
Before long, the large round table in the hall was covered with sumptuous dishes.
When the crockery and cutlery were laid out on the table together with the wine, Qin Xiaoyao shouted into the courtyard, asking everyone to go to the hall for lunch.
The Qin family’s father and sons yelled for each other to go in. They also beckoned to Big Girl Li, and they headed for the hall.
Qin Xiaoyao then went to fetch Song Ye and Song Que.
When Song Que heard the commotion outside, he stopped teaching Song Ye. Instead, he let Song Ye read at the side while he continued to copy books.
In fact, after his father-in-law and his two brothers-in-law arrived at the new house, they came in to visit Song Que.
However, they didn’t say much to him before going outside to look for some tasks they could help with.
He had a feeling that his father-in-law and his two brothers-in-law were a little afraid of him. They didn’t even dare to look at him when they spoke to him.
In this way, there was no way for him to talk to them more, even if he wanted to.
This was different from his previous life.
In his previous life, he didn’t have much contact with them, but every time he saw them, they were always very fierce and menacing.
Although there was a reason for it, it made him detest them.
In this life, because of the change in that woman, these three people’s attitude towards him also changed.
Now, he couldn’t bring himself to hate them anymore.
“Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao entered and saw that Song Que was still busy copying books, so she called out to him.
Song Que raised his head and immediately saw his younger brother, who had been sitting at the side a moment ago, throw the book aside and begin running toward Qin Xiaoyao.
