Chapter 19

Qin Lingnian passed away, but it didn’t have much impact on Yun Angge’s life.

Although Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue were still immersed in the sadness of separation, they did not shed tears all day long. They cheered up and lived every day well.

After winter wheat is planted, it is the slack season for farmers, and there is not much work in the fields until the beginning of spring next year.

Since they didn’t go to the fields, Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue rarely went out, except to fetch water from the old well in the village every two days.

Yun Angge seldom went out since she came to Qin Lingnian’s house. Of course, she used to sneak out through the dog hole dug out from the chicken coop every now and then at night to meet with Luan Yingjie. But now that she has seen the disgusting face of the scumbag, she will definitely not go through the dog hole to meet with him again.

Qin’s mother is old, and Yun Angge originally wanted to go fetch water with Qin Mingyue, but she would not dare to go out until five days later.

There were no electronic products and no entertainment programs. Every day he just stayed in this small courtyard. Life was boring and tedious, but Yun Angge gradually adapted to it.

After breakfast every day, she would make clothes with Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue, chatting with them from time to time, and the day would pass quickly.

However, on the night Qin Lingnian left home, Luan Yingjie sneaked into his house in the dead of night and waited at the door of the dog hole for more than half an hour. Seeing that Yun Angge did not come out, he could not wait any longer, so he pulled aside the firewood covering the dog hole and tried to get in. However, the dog hole was a little small and could not accommodate his body.

In desperation, he picked up a clod of earth and threw it towards the window of the east room where Yun Angge lived.

Although he didn’t hit the target due to his poor skills, he still threw the clod of earth into the yard. The noise it made failed to lure Yun Angge out. He threw it twice in a row, but woke up Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue.

Seeing the mother and daughter coming out to check, one holding a lantern and the other holding a stick, Luan Yingjie ran away in anger.

In fact, Yun Angge was not asleep at all. He guessed that Luan Yingjie would not be able to help but come to find him. He knew that the noise was created by him in order to lure her out.

However, she was not the love-brained fool that the original owner was, and she would never go to see him.

Qin Lingnian gave Yun Angge and the other two some flowered cloth, and they prepared to make a coat for each of them.

There is no sewing machine at home, so everything is sewn by hand, stitch by stitch, and then ironed smooth bit by bit with a large army green kettle filled with boiling water.

It was basically all done by Qin’s mother. Even Qin Mingyue couldn’t help much, and Yun Angge, who couldn’t even hold a needle, was even more helpless.

However, seeing that Yun Angge wanted to learn, Qin’s mother gave her her own dress for her to practice on, and patiently taught her how to cut the fabric, how to sew, and how to press the seams so that the stitches would be small and flat.

Qin’s mother’s skill in making clothes is unmatched even within a radius of fifty miles, let alone a hundred miles.

But her craft was taught by Qin’s father.

Qin’s father used to work in a clothing shop owned by a wealthy businessman in the provincial capital. A clothing shop would also have a tailor who made clothes. Qin’s father apprenticed to a master and learned a good skill.

Qin’s mother worked as a maid in a wealthy merchant’s house. Later, the Japanese invaded China and the provincial capital where they lived was bombed, killing more than half of the people in the city.

Fortunately, Qin’s father and mother were lucky, as they had met each other several times before. When they saw that all of Qin’s mother’s family members had been killed, Qin’s father took her back to his hometown, Daqinzhuang.

After finishing the coats for the three people, the three of them started to make winter clothes. Yun Angge also learned to knit gloves and sweaters from Qin Mingyue.

In a blink of an eye, it has been five days since Qin Lingnian left home.

That afternoon, Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue were talking about how Qin Lingnian should be able to arrive at the army today.

Yun Angge was also counting the days, but she was not counting the day when Qin Lingnian would arrive at the army. Instead, she was waiting for the day when the original owner would die.

In the novel, the original owner was caught by Qin Feng having a secret meeting with Luan Yingjie on the night Qin Lingnian left home. Then, on the fifth night after Qin Lingnian left home, Qin Feng used Luan Yingjie as bait and asked a child in the village to pass her a note, saying that he wanted to meet her at the old place in the evening.

The original owner didn’t think much about it, thinking that he hadn’t seen Luan Yingjie for three days and he missed her very much, so he couldn’t wait to send someone to give her a message.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she sneaked out of the dog hole near the chicken coop and headed straight for her secret love base with Luan Yingjie.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the woods, she was hugged tightly by a man who came out from behind a tree. She couldn’t see the man’s appearance clearly in the faint moonlight, and he threw her to the ground. When the man was impatiently trying to tear off her clothes, suddenly several flashlights came out from all directions.

Accompanied by sharp insults…

The original owner didn’t even have time to explain himself, because the village scoundrel turned around and said that the two of them had been hooking up for a long time and that it was the original owner who hooked him up.

Qin Feng brought a large group of righteous people in the village, and they tied her up with hemp ropes while cursing him with the most vicious dirty words.

She resisted!

She argued!

But no one believed her!

Many indignant men and women spat at her and kicked her, kicking her on the head more than a dozen times, and finally kicked her to death.

“Hiss…” Yun Angge’s thoughts were flying, and he accidentally pricked his finger.

“Ouch, did you prick your hand?”

“Sister-in-law, are you holding your hands?”

Mother Qin and Qin Mingyue were both shocked and looked at Yun Angge worriedly.

Yun Angge gently wiped away the blood that came out of the needle hole and smiled nonchalantly, “I just got pricked accidentally, it’s okay.”

Maybe she was too angry and upset, so she didn’t feel the pain in her hand.

Although it was just a scene in a novel, and this body had not personally experienced the tragic death process, the description in the novel alone was enough to make her unable to suppress her raging rage.

She hated Qin Feng, Luan Yingjie, and those vicious villagers who disguised themselves as righteous to satisfy their own selfish desires.

But while she hated these people, she was also annoyed at the original owner’s stupidity.

She was living a good life, but ended up killing herself for a scumbag.

Of course, if she didn’t do something stupid, nothing would have happened to her.

But she still didn’t appreciate her kindness.

When I read the novel, although I was angry at her for being stupid and pretentious, I still felt some sympathy for her.

Now that she had seen Qin Lingnian with her own eyes and felt his protection personally, and then thought about the stupid things the original owner had done, especially using Qin Lingnian’s money to support a scumbag and abusing Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue, she had no sympathy for her at all.

Whether it was pretentious or stupid, the original owner paid a heavy price.

Now that she has become Yun Angge, she will never take the path of death.

Even though she was clear-headed and saw through Luan Yingjie’s scumbag nature and Qin Feng’s vicious intentions, in order to prevent irresistible changes, she would not go out for these five days and avoid all possible opportunities to interact with Luan Yingjie.

The sun slowly sets, and another day passes peacefully.

Yun Angge had been on edge for five days before he finally relaxed. After today, the danger of death would be over.

When Qin’s mother and Qin Mingyue mentioned Qin Lingnian again during dinner, Yun Angge felt much more relaxed. Although he did not interrupt, his mind was focused on him.

If he arrives at the army today, he should submit a report to accompany the troops tomorrow.

If everything goes well, she might leave Daqinzhuang before the New Year…

But what Yun Angge didn’t know was that at this moment, Qin Lingnian, who was thousands of miles away, was also thinking about her.

After five days of traveling by train and bus, Qin Lingnian finally arrived at the army at ten in the evening. He entered the dormitory, put down his luggage, and went to the bathhouse with his toiletries and clothes to take a shower.

While rubbing the back, he accidentally touched a long, rough scar on the spine. His heart was moved and his fingertips could not help but rub it gently. The face, which was as calm and solemn as a sculpture, loosened and turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even though his face was dark, one could still see a slight blush, even his ears and neck were red.

That night, he shouldn’t have been so anxious, he should have been gentler…

“Qin Ying, hurry up and take a shower, someone is waiting for you in the dormitory!” A loud voice mixed with a hint of teasing suddenly sounded, breaking Qin Lingnian’s thoughts filled with pink bubbles.

“Who is it?” Even though Qin Lingnian immediately regained his usual calm and solemnity, his heart, which had just been aroused by the flower of love, could not immediately regain its hardness, so that his eyes even revealed a hint of tenderness.

“You’ll know when you get back!” The person who came to deliver the message was called Qi Zheng, the deputy commander of one of the battalions. He lived across from Qin Lingnian, and they were somewhat acquainted, so he spoke casually and even joked with a hint of playfulness, “Hurry up and wash. Don’t make us wait impatiently.”

snort!

This old guy actually pretended to be stupid with him!

His lustful expression just now might be hidden from others, but it couldn’t escape his sharp eyes… He said someone was looking for him, but his eyes were shining like a peacock spreading its feathers.

He must have known who was looking for him, so he was very happy.

Qin Lingnian frowned and guessed from Qi Zheng’s informal tone and eyes that the person looking for him should be a woman.

Before going home, the woman suddenly confessed her love to him. He had made it clear that he had a fiancée and that the purpose of his visit home was to marry her.

Could it be that she still doesn’t give up…

Even though Qi Zheng kept chirping and urging him like a noisy sparrow, Qin Lingnian still washed very slowly. It was not until Qi Zheng had finished washing that he could no longer delay and then he turned off the faucet and went outside to get dressed.

When Qin Lingnian pushed open the dormitory door with wet hair, Zhang Meijing, who was tidying up the dormitory with her sleeves rolled up, suddenly turned around and smiled shyly, “Brother Qin, my brother knows you’re back, so he asked me to come and bring you some buns…”

As she spoke, she turned around, picked up the aluminum lunch box on the table, opened it, and a scent of meat instantly spread out. She ran over sweetly and handed it to Qin Lingnian.

“It’s just out of the pot, Brother Qin, eat it quickly. My brother said that you have to take a four-day and four-night train ride, and then sit in a car for most of the day. It must be very tiring, and you didn’t eat well on the way…”
