Li Xu shouldn’t have said this. However, she was afraid Qin Xiaomin would misunderstand, so she could only force herself to say it.
Qin Xiaomin’s face was a little red. “I’m sorry,” she said in a low voice.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Your parents have their considerations. We can understand.” Li Xu said.
Just as Qin Xiaomin was about to speak, a group of aunties suddenly came in from outside.
She quickly moved to the side, wanting to wait for these aunties to leave before talking.
But who knew that these aunties were very talkative.
The moment they entered, they started chatting with Li Xu enthusiastically.
“Li, I heard that you’ve donated items to the disaster area. You even donated a few truckloads of them. Is that true?”
“Yes, yes, my neighbor, Old Wang, said he saw it with his own eyes. Xiao Li is amazing, her family is quite rich!”
“Gui Fen’er, you really don’t know how to talk. So many rich people are so stingy. Xiao Li’s earnings are all hard-earned money. She’s kind, but it’s a different matter from having money or not!”
Li Xu waited for the aunties to finish before explaining, “It’s not much money. My mother’s family grows greenhouses. The vegetables I sell every day are all freshly picked from the greenhouses. The vegetables we grew at home were all natural and pollution-free, except for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Most of the donations this time came from the vegetables in our shed and some anti-flood materials. In total, we didn’t spend much money.”
Ji Yuanyuan was standing not far from the door, and when she heard what her mother said, a smile appeared on her face.
These words were really said without a single change of expression.
She promoted the fact that her vegetables were all fresh and also admitted to the donation without a sound.
When she looked up, she saw Qin Xiaomin standing under the eaves with her head lowered. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Ji Yuanyuan guessed that she was probably thinking about her Second Uncle.
Qin Mucheng saw that she was in a daze and went to pull her hand. “Yuanyuan, look at Qin Doudou.”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly pulled back her thoughts.
When they came over, they brought Qin Doudou with them.
Qin Doudou was indeed very smart. He could understand some movements after being taught a few times.
“Qin Doudou, pick up the ball!” Qin Mucheng pointed at a ball that he had just thrown and ordered.
Qin Doudou huffed and puffed. He followed Qin Mucheng’s hand and looked in that direction.
Then, he looked at Qin Mucheng.
“Pick it up!” Qin Mucheng repeated patiently.
Qin Doudou seemed to understand. He turned his head and dashed to the ball. He stopped, lowered his head, and bit the ball in his mouth before running back.
Qin Mucheng stretched out her hand, and obediently placed the ball in her hand.
Qin Mucheng stretched out her hand and patted its head in admiration. “Qin Doudou, you’re too amazing.”
After praising Qin Doudou, Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan, her eyes full of pride. “How is it? Isn’t it powerful?”
Ji Yuanyuan made a surprised expression and clapped his hands. “Wow, Brother Mucheng , you’re so amazing. You taught Qin Doudou so well.”
When Qin Mucheng heard this, he pursed her lips and said, “Qin Doudou, you’re so smart.”
Although he said that, the pride on his face was obvious.
He took a piece of dried meat from his pocket and fed it to Qin Doudou.
Taking advantage of this time, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the spot under the roof where Qin Xiaomin had been standing.
But this time, Qin Xiaomin was gone. Even the bicycle that was placed at the door was gone.
Qin Xiaomin left.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a long sigh in her heart for the sake of her Second Uncle and Auntie Xiaomin, this pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks.
When Qin Xiaomin returned home, Niu Ailan and Qin Zhiye had already prepared dinner and were about to eat.
Seeing his daughter return, Qin Zhiye quickly got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks. “You’re back just in time. This crab is not bad. Sit down and eat!”
Qin Xiaomin didn’t have much of an appetite at first, but she seemed to have thought of something and sat down using Qin Zhiye’s words as excuse.
Qin Zhiye gave her a crab. “Try it. If it’s good, I’ll buy more in the afternoon.”
Qin Xiaomin stretched out her hand and began to peel the crab slowly.
“I just went to Li Yong’s Big Sister’s place,” she said while peeling it.
Niu Allan’s face turned cold, “Why are you in a hurry to see his Big Sister?”
Qin Xiaomin was calm. “You won’t let me see him. I just want to ask where he went and what he was doing.”
Niu Allan’s heart ached because of her daughter’s anger. She gritted her teeth and didn’t speak.
Qin Zhiming sighed.
“The big carts you saw outside this afternoon were all donated by their families. Including tens of thousands of catties of vegetables and some anti-flood supplies, along with Li Yong and his brother, they all went to H City to help.” Qin Xiaomin said as she peeled the crab.
“I suddenly felt that I really didn’t like the wrong person. Even though their family is poor, it’s great that they’re still thinking of the people in the disaster area at this time and are willing to go to the disaster area without considering their own safety.” Qin Xiaomin said in a low voice.
After that, the family of three did not speak. Even the air became quiet.
Only the sound of Qin Xiaomin breaking crab shells in the empty dining room could be heard.
After a while, Qin Xiaomin stood up and pushed the bowl in front of her to Niu Ailan. Then, she turned and went upstairs, “I’m not eating.”
Niu Ailan lowered her head and saw that the bowl in front of her was full of peeled crab meat.
The table where Qin Xiaomin had been sitting was filled with a pile of crab shells.
Niu Allan’s nose soured, and her eyes turned red.
The husband and wife did not speak for a long time, each eating their own meals.
When they were almost done, Niu Ailan said, “Six big trucks, the things inside should be worth a lot of money!”
Qin Zhiye saw his wife taking the initiative to talk about Li Yong, so he said, “Yes, tens of thousands of catties of vegetables would cost at least 10,000 yuan. It was said that there were also some anti-flood supplies. This time, their family had probably spent a lot of money. It’s not easy for people like them to do such a thing!”
Niu Ailan sighed, got up, and began to clean up the table.
She had always been a meticulous person. Although she did not hire a nanny, every corner of the house was clean.
But today, she was a little sloppy.
She placed the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and returned to her room to lie down without wiping the table.
Qin Zhiye didn’t follow her back to the room. Instead, he slowly cleaned up the table again and finished washing the dishes.
He knew his wife’s heart was in turmoil, so he decided to let her be alone for a while.
Although he didn’t have much contact with Li Yong, he didn’t feel as strongly against him as his wife.
He didn’t need his future son-in-law to be rich or have a high status. He only wanted his daughter to be happy.
Perhaps Li Yong was the kind of person who could bring happiness to his daughter..
