Chapter 86 I Won't Let You Go Hungry
Old Mrs. Qin, who had been sitting under the eaves outside sewing shoe soles, suddenly rushed in, craning her neck and staring intently at the burlap sack, her face full of wrinkles from smiling.
"Oh my, Yunzhou, Suisui, this is such a big bag, it must be full of food."
"Hurry up and open it to see what's inside."
As she was talking, she tried to squeeze past Qin Yunzhou and into the room to open the bag and see what was inside.
The next second, Qin Yunzhou stepped forward and blocked Old Madam Qin's movement. His eyebrows and eyes were cold and stern, his temperament was as firm as a pine tree, and his aura was strong and distant, making people dare not approach.
"Grandma, Xu Sui is pregnant. These are for her to nourish her body."
"There's not much food, just enough for her alone, we can't give her any extra."
Grandma Qin stopped in her tracks, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Yes, your wife is pregnant."
That's what she said, but she still couldn't help looking at the burlap sack in the room, feeling incredibly reluctant to part with it.
Although the pocket hasn't been opened yet.
However, since they themselves admitted it was food, and specifically for pregnant women, it must be something good.
Old Mrs. Qin forced herself to leave, turning back every few steps.
Just then, the door to the large room next door creaked open.
Xiao Fen happened to see Qin Yunzhou bring back a half-full bag of things and put it into their room. She also heard that it contained grain.
She couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
Other women find real men, but why did she end up with a spineless coward who only dares to lay a hand on his wife?
If it weren't for her strong personality and her inability to tolerate being mistreated...
If it were a woman with a weaker personality, she would have cried and shed tears last night, swallowing her grievances and hurting herself.
However, Xu Sui is really lucky. After Gu Shu left, Qin Yunzhou came along.
Close the door to block the view from outside.
Qin Yunzhou went inside, opened the burlap sack he had brought back, and took out the items one by one.
A bag of White Rabbit milk candy, half a pound of brown sugar, a can of malted milk powder, a serving of peach shortbread, two cans of yellow peaches, two cans of meat, a cloth bag of white flour, a cloth bag of white rice, and a small half pound of sausage.
These things were piled up on the ground, almost filling the narrow passageway.
Xu Sui was stunned, thinking she was seeing things.
"Where did you get all this?" She squatted down, picked up the small cloth bag of rice, and weighed it in her hand. It weighed at least six or seven pounds. The amount of white flour was about the same as the rice, but these were all refined grains.
Putting everything else aside, the rice in this little cloth bag alone would have been enough for an average urban family to get a wife as a dowry in the past two years.
"This bag of White Rabbit milk candy was sent by a comrade-in-arms in Beijing. You mentioned wanting some when we were next door last time, and he sent some over. The brown sugar and these canned goods were also sent by him."
Qin Yunzhou then sorted and arranged these items, putting those that should be in the cabinets and locking them up, and leaving those that should be taken out outside.
"As for the food, I had someone help me get it."
"There's not much, but it should be enough for you to have a meal. Keep it all."
"I'll get more when it's gone. I won't let you and the kids go hungry."
The man before me was like a calm and reserved mountain, or a tall and straight tree, always able to arrange everything in silence.
Xu Sui silently repeated Qin Yunzhou's name in her heart. She smiled, picked up a White Rabbit milk candy, unwrapped it, and fed it to Qin Yunzhou, who was tidying up.
"You should try some, it's very sweet."
Looking at the fair, delicate fingers in front of him and the milk candy that smelled of milk, Qin Yunzhou subconsciously opened his mouth and bit into the candy that Xu Sui handed him.
Inevitably, we touched each other's skin.
It feels warm and delicate to the touch, and seems even sweeter than milk candy.
The two were slightly startled, their eyelashes trembled, their eyes met, and then they hurriedly looked away.
The White Rabbit milk candy in Qin Yunzhou's mouth tasted sweet on his tongue, the milky sweetness spreading, as if there was a sweet milk candy in his heart, making him linger and reluctant to finish it.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Xu Sui's slightly flushed cheeks again.
The words my comrades-in-arms used to say when they were chatting in the army kept echoing in my mind.
The happiest thing in a person's life is having a wife, children, and a warm bed.
Noticing the man's gaze on her, Xu Sui's face involuntarily flushed, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, trying to cool it down.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
She felt that Qin Yunzhou was acting very differently today. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was different, but the moment she looked into his eyes, he would immediately meet her gaze.
Just then, the voices of Grandma Tianhua and Xiao Fen came from outside the door.
They seemed to be making a scene, throwing things, cursing, and even crying.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou both heard that something was wrong outside.
The two got up, pushed open the door, and went out.
Xiao Fen cried and made a scene, her nose and eyes filled with snot and tears.
"What happened? Your son hit me first last night. He slapped me hard across the face. Look, the slap mark on my face hasn't faded yet. He deserves to be in the hospital. If he hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have hit him either."
"You want me to pay for his medical expenses? Dream on! I don't have any money. Go find someone who does, don't come to me."
Tianhua looked at her eldest daughter-in-law in disbelief, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, all the money you two saved was earned by Qinmin from his job. He got a share of it. His job was arranged through connections and money from the family. Now he's in the hospital, and we still owe half of the medical bills. How could you do this?"
"You know our family's situation. With your dad's meager monthly salary, there's basically nothing left after buying food. Your dad and I are willing but unable to do anything. You can't just abandon Qinmin, can you?"
The money I used to buy my eldest son a job was borrowed, and I still haven't paid it back.
Qin Min keeps half of his monthly salary and hands over the other half. The half he hands over is used to pay off the debt for the job he was paid off. His family doesn't ask for a single penny from him.
The money the couple had saved was all with Xiao Fen. Qin Min didn't have a single penny on him. Now that he was hospitalized, he couldn't contribute anything, and some of it was even paid for by his parents.
Xiao Fen rolled her eyes. "I'll pay you, but you have to make Qin Min apologize to me and write me a guarantee. If he dares to hit me again, you can give me his job."
She's not someone who can be bullied.
If you dare to hit her, she'll hit you back.
At worst, we might as well all die together.
These words were spoken.
Not to mention Tian Hua, even Old Lady Qin was unhappy. Although Qin Min wasn't her biological grandson, he still called her "Grandma."
