Chapter 4: Returning to the Xie Family

Qin Zhiyi moved quickly, and soon the sound of a bicycle bell rang out from outside the courtyard.

Xu Sangluo hurriedly ran out, carrying a bamboo basket and rope.

Seeing her putting a bamboo basket on the bike, Qin Zhiyi just thought she was going to pack things to go back.

But in fact, Xu Sangluo didn’t bring anything when she came.

Her stepmother didn’t even let them in, she almost threw a tantrum and chased them away, making the neighbors laugh at them.

But on the surface, Xu Sangluo was still her stepmother’s biological daughter, so no one dared to say anything.

Qin Zhiyi seemed to compromise and agreed to Liu Xiuhui’s “responsibility.”

In fact, he was just pitying Xu Sangluo, who was homeless at the time, and temporarily took her in.

Xu Sangluo quickly tied the bamboo basket and then went around to the other side, tiptoeing onto the back seat of the bike.

“I’m ready.”

At the gate of the courtyard, the twins were peeking out.

Qin Zhiyi was a little confused, “Ready?”

“Yeah.”

“Not bringing anything else?”

Xu Sangluo was confused for a moment, what should she bring?

“No need.”

“Yeah.” Qin Zhiyi didn’t ask further, he just thought she wanted to completely cut off ties.

“You guys stay home and don’t run around.” He turned to the twins and gave them a few instructions, then rode away.

The dirt road was bumpy, Xu Sangluo couldn’t sit steadily, she subconsciously grabbed the back seat with one hand and Qin Zhiyi’s clothes on the side of his waist with the other.

Qin Zhiyi’s muscles tensed, then he slowed down without a trace, trying to ride on the smoother parts of the road.

Many other neighbors or villagers on the road looked at them curiously.

Xu Sangluo had only been seen by some villagers the day she was brought back by Qin Zhiyi.

They all said that this girl was very beautiful, and the villagers were very curious about where the eldest son of the Qin family had brought back such a beautiful wife.

They heard that she was fair and delicate, not like the country girls at all, she looked more like a city girl.

But Xu Sangluo didn’t appear again, and then rumors started to spread.

Fortunately, Qin’s mother was also a fiery woman, and after arguing with people a few times when she heard the gossip, the villagers fell silent.

At least they didn’t gossip in front of her anymore, and they paid less attention to Xu Sangluo.

Seeing her again today, it aroused the villagers’ curiosity.

Where were this couple going?

The Xie family was in the Yueyang District center of Guangcheng, which was quite far from Luoxi Village.

It would take 4-5 hours to ride a bicycle, even at a fast speed.

It took about an hour just to ride through the bumpy dirt roads in the village and the old city.

When they got on the concrete road, Xu Sangluo grabbed Qin Zhiyi’s clothes on both sides of his waist, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

She carefully shifted her bottom, which was sore from the bumps, and she was even more determined to make Liu Xiuhui bleed this time.

It wouldn’t be in vain for her to travel so far.

The newly developed urban area was vastly different from the old city and the villages.

Seeing it again after decades, she only had one thought in her mind.

China’s development is truly rapid.

You wouldn’t feel this way if you didn’t look back frame by frame.

Qin Zhiyi didn’t speak, and Xu Sangluo felt bored, so she closed her eyes and checked her space.

This space was brought with her in a safety charm she bought at the Liuli Factory when she went to Kyoto with a truck when she was twenty-five years old.

At that time, there were no online novels, and offline bookstores were not widespread, and she didn’t have time to read books, so she didn’t know anything about supernatural things.

For a while, she was really scared and a little neurotic, thinking that something was wrong with her.

Later, she gradually figured out how to use it.

After that, she started selling vegetables, then opened a farmhouse.

She had at least decades of experience, so she was now considering whether to take the old path.

But now she had the Qin family around, it was not easy to operate.

If

To leave, at least she had to wait until she had repaid her debt of gratitude and erased her regrets.

At the very least, she had to get past Qin Yan’s death.

She didn’t know what happened to the Qin family later, so she couldn’t be sure if the little guy really jumped into the river.

But as long as she avoided that point in time, it should be fine.

As long as she got past that point, the Qin family would have a happy ending.

She learned about this later from Qin’s mother when she reminisced about the past.

At the end of the year after the Qin family moved, Qin Zhiyi received news from his old superiors.

After the settlement, the Qin family was officially returned some of their property.

Such as the house and some remaining antiques.

And Qin Zhiyi returned to the army, and the Qin family officially entered a time when they didn’t have to worry about their livelihood.

It’s just that the Qin family was already close to falling apart at that time.

Although there were some things that Qin’s mother didn’t mention, she still found out.

For example, to solve the Qin family’s financial pressure and for Qin’s mother’s health.

Qin Zhiyu, while skipping school and working, was noticed by a wealthy businessman.

She secretly kept five thousand yuan as a so-called “bride price” and followed the businessman away.

Qin Zhiyi searched everywhere for her but couldn’t find her.

It wasn’t until a few years later that he found her.

At that time, Qin Zhiyu was already single again and had her own job.

Xu Sangluo didn’t know what she had experienced, but Qin Zhiyu never married again.

Qin Zhishu, although he was forced to take the college entrance exam, still failed, he refused to retake it, and he left for the city to work overnight with a bag on his back.

After Qin Zhiyu disappeared, Qin Zhifeng’s personality changed drastically, he became a street thug, and he even got into trouble with the police, and Qin Zhiyi hung him up and beat him half to death.

The two brothers were like enemies for a long time.

It wasn’t until Qin Zhiyi returned to the army, took him to the army to train, and found Qin Zhiyu, that their relationship gradually eased.

It can only be said that the first half of the Qin family’s life was too hard.

“We’re here.”

The low voice interrupted Xu Sangluo’s memories.

She steadied herself and looked around, feeling a little confused.

“Ah.”

So many years had passed, she couldn’t remember many things, such as where the Xie family lived.

Qin Zhiyi thought she was scared, so he continued to pedal and took her directly to the building.

Xie Feng worked at the city’s labor bureau, and as the deputy director of the office, his residence was naturally not bad.

This residential area was all two-story buildings, and those who could live here were not ordinary people.

When entering the gate, you had to register first and explain your reason for coming.

The Xie family’s building was in the middle.

When she saw the building, Xu Sangluo finally had some memories.

The two-story building was not occupied by a single family, but was divided into four households.

The Xie family lived on the right side of the second floor, and Xu Sangluo had to go upstairs.

She turned to Qin Zhiyi, who was turning the bicycle around, and said, “Wait for me, I’ll be right back.”

She didn’t wait for Qin Zhiyi to respond, and ran into the hallway.

When Qin Zhiyi turned around, she was gone, he could only hear the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

He frowned, but he didn’t leave, he pulled down the bicycle’s rear rack and stood there waiting.

Inside the Xie family’s house, Liu Xiuhui had just woken up from her nap and was sitting on the sofa yawning.

A funny silent comedy was playing on the black and white TV in front of her.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

She was a little confused, and she went to open the door while asking.

But when she saw Xu Sangluo, her expression changed, and she immediately wanted to close the door impatiently.

But Xu Sangluo’s words were faster than her actions.

“If you want Xie Huai to be disgraced, then close the door.”

Liu Xiuhui’s movements stopped abruptly, then her expression turned bad, she glared and said, “Zhao Xiaoman! What are you talking about, how did I teach you, why have you become so vicious, you can’t stand your sister doing well, you’ve read books into your dog’s belly.”
