Chapter 62: Don’t Let Xie Qingxiao Touch Her

Lin Xiangyi just smiled, “Okay!” In ten days, this man would know that she was really pregnant. When the time came, she would definitely enjoy watching his dream shatter and the look on his face.

Xie Qingxiao didn’t know Lin Xiangyi’s malicious amusement. Seeing her expression, he knew she understood what he meant.

She agreed!

Xie Qingxiao’s heart blossomed. He lowered his head to look at Lin Xiangyi and suddenly said, “Thirteen days left!”

Lin Xiangyi: “…” He counted the days so clearly.

“Alright, I got it!” Lin Xiangyi pushed his chest, blocking her way out. “Don’t dawdle, go out and work quickly.”

Xie Qingxiao, in a good mood, followed her out. Seeing someone else at his house, his cousin Xie Guoqiang, he took the initiative to greet him, “Guoqiang? Why are you here?”

Xie Guoqiang was here to pick up his daughter, Taotao. Hearing Xie Qingxiao actually taking the initiative to greet him, he was a little surprised.

Although he and Xie Qingxiao were not much different in age and had studied together, his personality was a bit honest and quiet.

He couldn’t play with Xie Qingxiao.

However, he benefited a lot from Xie Qingxiao’s relationship. Because many people knew he was Xie Qingxiao’s cousin, no one dared to bully him.

Therefore, although everyone said Xie Qingxiao wasn’t a good person, he was a little afraid of and admired Xie Qingxiao.

“Brother Xiao,” he said, “I’m here to pick up Taotao.”

Xie Qingxiao heard this and saw Taotao. He didn’t care for children before, and even thought children were too noisy.

He thought the only child he could like was the one he had with Lin Xiangyi.

Looking at Taotao now, he imagined what his daughter with Lin Xiangyi would look like, a combination of her and him, a clear reflection of their union.

His mood improved even more. He praised, “Your daughter is very cute.”

Xie Guoqiang was delighted to hear Xie Qingxiao’s praise, like a little fanboy, holding Taotao and following behind Xie Qingxiao.

He saw Xie Qingxiao go under the eaves and put on a pair of water shoes and a pair of rubber gloves – Lin Xiangyi insisted he wear them because hands that had cleaned internal organs would be very smelly if they didn’t wear gloves, and she wouldn’t let Xie Qingxiao touch her.

How could Xie Qingxiao not touch her? So even though he disliked the gloves being in the way, he still put them on.

After putting them on, he went to the water tank. Xie’s father, Xie’s mother, Lin Xiangyi, and Aunt Xie’s mother-in-law were all gathered there working. Beside them was a large basin filled with pig intestines.

Xie Qingxiao half-squatted down, poured in flour, and started rubbing, his movements strong and skilled, like a rough man who was used to doing chores.

Xie Guoqiang was stunned. Was this the Xie Qingxiao he knew? Or was his memory wrong?

The Xie Qingxiao in his memory was clearly someone who didn’t touch trivial matters, was free-spirited and domineering, as if nothing in this world could restrain him. He only lived according to his own will.

Now, he actually had a touch of human warmth?

Moreover, this warmth made him look more stable and determined, and even more powerful, making people trust him more than before?

Xie Guoqiang had always envied Xie Qingxiao. He also wanted to be a free and bold person like him.

However, due to his family environment and personality, he didn’t achieve it. He took the path most people in the village took, dropping out of school early, working on the farm with his parents, and marrying early under the matchmaking of a matchmaker, having children, managing the land they were allotted, and supporting their small family.

Is such a life good? It’s pretty good. After working in the fields, they come home, have dinner, and go to sleep. Their lives are poor but they don’t starve. They even have their parents’ wholehearted help, which is much better than ordinary families.

Every day life is just like a diary, nothing special and no waves.

Xie Guoqiang knew he wasn’t actually content with this. He wanted to change something, but he couldn’t change anything. He had a family, a wife and children, and he had to be responsible for them. He wanted to give his wife and children a better life.

He felt that these two things were incompatible.

But this time, Xie Guoqiang saw hope.

Brother Xiao was also married now. He was just like him, with the constraints of a family. He had a touch of human warmth, but he still looked free-spirited and composed, and even more confident and powerful.

He heard his wife say that Brother Xiao and his sister-in-law were now doing business and making money. Their family lived a good life, they had meat to eat every day, his sister-in-law wore and used the best things, and his uncle and aunt were enjoying the benefits with them.

If this time, he was brave enough, could he also become as powerful and confident as Brother Xiao? Could he also let his wife wear and use the best things? Could he let his father and mother enjoy the benefits with him?

Xie Guoqiang looked at Xie Qingxiao’s back, took a deep breath, and suddenly called out, “Brother Xiao.”

Xie Qingxiao was busy working and turned his head to glance at him when he heard this. He realized that Xie Guoqiang hadn’t left and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Guoqiang was a little nervous, “You, how’s your business going?”

“Not bad,” Xie Qingxiao nodded.

“…Oh,” Xie Guoqiang’s words were stuck in his throat, he hesitated to say them.

Xie Qingxiao noticed that Xie Guoqiang hadn’t left yet. He turned back to look at him again and patiently asked, “Guoqiang, is there anything else?”

“I,” Xie Guoqiang opened his mouth, finally mustering his courage, “Brother Xiao, I, I wanted to ask, do you need people? Can I go out with you to do business?”

As soon as he spoke, not only Xie Qingxiao, but also his mother, his wife, and Xie’s father and Xie’s mother were surprised.

Aunt Xie hurriedly asked, “Guoqiang, what do you mean? You want to go out with A Xiao to do business?”

“Yes… yes!” Xie Guoqiang was a little embarrassed under everyone’s gaze, but he still answered firmly, “But if it’s not convenient, then forget it.”

“This…” Aunt Xie looked at Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao looked at Lin Xiangyi.

Lin Xiangyi was surprised that Xie Guoqiang would propose to go out with them to do business. However, it was a good thing for them. After all, she, Xie Qingxiao, and Zhang Pengfei had limited energy. They could only run to a limited number of places in two hours in the evening, and many markets didn’t have the energy to develop.

If they had more manpower, it would be the best.

However, she didn’t know if Xie Guoqiang’s personality was suitable?

Lin Xiangyi wasn’t someone who judged people by their appearance. Whether it was suitable or not, they had to try it out. She nodded to Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao pondered for a moment and said, “There’s nothing inconvenient. If you want to do business, you can go out with us to see how it’s done and see if you can do it.”

Xie Guoqiang was a little excited. He nodded repeatedly, “Okay!”

“Then why don’t you go out with Xie Qingxiao today to take a look?” Lin Xiangyi asked, “Do you have a bicycle at home?”
