Whether it is for Qin Yinran, who only escaped from that sea of suffering five years ago, or Qin Cinian and Qin Yingnian, who have just left for a long time, the Qin family is undoubtedly a place full of nightmares, and when it comes to the city, the latter two can't help but think of the Qin family, and it is normal to have this reaction.

However, Qin Yingran herself is not very old, and the children's minds are strung together, sometimes no one understands what they mean, at this time, Qin Yingran saw that there were tears in Qin Yingnian's eyes, and she didn't know what was going on.

However, he was in a hurry to wipe her tears, but Qin Cinian put down the shrimp in his hand and looked at it seriously.

"Sister is she going to send us back to the Qin family?"

Qin Cinian's eyes were a little hurt, but he still didn't shed tears like his sister, but just met her eyes, which were full of sincerity.

Qin Wuran understood at this time, and hurriedly waved her hand, "It's either going back to the Qin family, or the owner is going back, so we have to go back with the others." Don't worry, Sister will definitely not send you back. ”

Qin Yingnian wiped his tears when he heard this, and looked at Qin Yingnian with a blank eye: "Really? ”

Qin Wuran only felt a softness in her heart, rubbed her head, and said seriously: "Sister definitely won't want you, after all, my brother is so smart, and my sister is so cute, how can I bear to send you back to a place like the Qin family." ”

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Qin Yingnian also shut up by herself, and did not want adults to coax her like other children. However, it was this that made Qin Wuran feel very distressed, but she also knew that this was not a problem that could be solved in a while, and the only way to treat such a child was to slowly make her change, and it took a lot of patience in the process.

Just like when Mrs. Li treated her, even an old man with such a bad temper racked his brains to ease the overly serious look on his face when facing her.

Qin Wuran believed that she could do it too.

After talking to my younger brothers and sisters about leaving, I just had to inform Zhao Li.

Li Yingyue was about to serve the food at the time, but as soon as she heard her say that she was going to leave in the next two days, she directly handed the two plates in her hands to others, turned her head and said to her: "Miss, or take me with you, I can help you." ”

Although Qin Wuran is not controlled by others now, she is also working for others, and she will inevitably feel a little embarrassed if she drags her family with her. What's more, at this time, Li Yingyue staying in Li Ji Restaurant must be the best choice, and she didn't know what to do when she went to the city for the time being, and secondly, she also took her to bump together, so there was really no need for this.

So in the face of her words, Qin Wuran just shook her head, "If you have a stable day, what are you doing in the city with me?" You can help out at Li Kee Restaurant. ”

Li Yingyue actually knew that Qin Wuran was thinking about herself, and she also knew that after she passed, she might cause trouble to Qin Wuran, so she could only hold back her tears and nodded.

"Then if the young lady is developed in the city, don't forget me, anyway, we also grew up together, you have good things to take me to share."

Qin Wuran sounded a little funny, but her heart gradually warmed up, "I will definitely not lose your share, provided that I have to make a lot of money, if not, I have to come back and rely on Uncle Zhao to pay me wages." ”

The two went back and forth like this, but they washed away those sorrowful farewells, Zhao Li glared at her angrily, "I'm going to leave in the next two days, and I don't know what to say." ”

Qin Wuran smiled, looked in the big kitchen for a long time, and finally left the place where she had to go in and out almost every day for five years.

Old lady Li is gone, and now she is leaving, I don't know what to expect in the future, but as long as it is better than now, it will be enough.

Early the next morning, Qin Yingran was about to go to see Mrs. Li, and when she left, Qin Cinian and Qin Yingnian were just asking her where she was going, but Qin Yingran suddenly wanted to take them to see Mrs. Li.

So she squatted down, took her younger siblings' hands and asked, "Do you want to meet your grandfather?" ”

The two children looked at each other, not knowing what to say. After all, for Qin Wuran, Mrs. Li is indeed a very important person, but for this pair of younger brothers and sisters, she has never seen and never been impressed.

Qin Yuran knew that they would definitely not be able to make any decisions from their hearts, so she simply took the hands of her younger brothers and sisters, and took you to see them next time.

After all, children don't understand these life and death, and all they know about Li Yang's departure is leaving, and they don't understand the deep meaning.

And Qin Yanran didn't want her younger brothers and sisters to come into contact with these at such a young age, so it was better to wait until they were older and bring them to Old Lady Li to take a look.

When I arrived at the grave of Mrs. Li, the fruits in front of the tomb were already rotten, and it seemed that no one had come to replace them in the past two days, and Qin Wuran didn't know that the two uncles couldn't count on it at all, so she took out a few dishes from the food box and placed a row in front of the grave.

"They all say that I am not the Li family, so my grandfather will definitely not receive the things I sent, but I want to send you some, if you can't eat it, just take a look, maybe you can also solve your cravings." Qin Wuran mentioned it lightly, knelt in front of the grave, and still had a little smile on her face.

"If you still want to eat something, give me a dream, and I'll make it for you next time." But I'm going to leave in two days, I'm not in this Yuanxi Town, I'm afraid I can come and see you from time to time, don't scold me for not being filial. Qin Wuran began to fold up paper money in her hand, although the shopkeeper told her many times that the girl burned the paper and the elders in the family couldn't receive it, but she still stubbornly bought so much, just because she was afraid that Old Lady Li would have no money to spend underneath.

After all, his two sons didn't teach, and they had only been gone for a few days, and they hadn't come to see them again, and they didn't even care about the etiquette.

"I have to have my own life, otherwise I will stay in this Yuanxi Town all the time, where can I spread all the dishes in that recipe? After all, didn't my grandfather open a store in the city a few years ago? It should be known that only people in large places will be easy to accept these things. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, didn't you show me two paths before? I saw that the son of the Shen family seemed to be a good person, so I went with him, but I either married him or worked for him for half a year. I also picked up my younger brothers and sisters, and the Qin family didn't stop me much, after all, my grandfather also knew that it was that aunt who was in charge of the house after my mother left, and I thought that she would definitely not be very good to my younger brothers and sisters, so it was better to follow me, I would definitely not harm them. ”

Qin Wuran has always been a squeamish person, because of the existence of Old Lady Li, so whenever her eldest and second uncles or the juniors in their family bully her, she will always sue Old Lady Li. At this time, she can always win, and Mrs. Li will tell her not to worry about those black-hearted children.

But it wasn't until the time when Old Lady Li was seriously ill that she knew how much he had been annoyed over the years, so at this time, Qin Wuran still remembered to report good news and not bad news.

After all, in the past, if Mrs. Li was unhappy in her heart, she could still scold and beat, such as today, if people are separated forever, no matter how worried she is, it is useless, and she still can't help her.

As long as she doesn't bother Mrs. Li, she says something good, and he should be able to rest assured.

After talking for a long time in front of Old Lady Li's grave, Qin Wan was so hard that her legs were numb, and the paper money in her hand had already burned to the ground.

"Maybe I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, and I haven't been able to say that much in the past, why do I say so much today? Weird annoying. Qin Wuran rubbed her eyes, felt a slight dampness on her hands, and wiped them quietly.

"The wind and sand here are so strong that it's easy to be blind, so I won't be here with my grandfather. My grandfather also remembers well, don't worry so much, everyone is more comfortable than you, why should you worry? ”

As she spoke, she stood up and thumped her numb legs, speaking casually, as if they could be blown away by the wind.

"It's not early, I have to go back to make dinner, you don't know how delicious that golden anchovy shrimp I made today." But you've definitely tasted it before you memorized it in the recipe, and I guess it's not uncommon for me to do it. ”

It gradually rained in the sky, Qin Wu didn't take an umbrella when she dyed it, she really couldn't stay here, she turned around reluctantly, but she still couldn't help but say the last sentence to Mrs. Li.

"I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, and I will also spread the dishes in the recipe for you, you can rest assured. I'm definitely better off than I am now. ”

The ancestors of the Li family were buried in this open space, and Qin Wuran took the wad of paper money she had prepared before and burned it all the way, so that these elders could also take care of Old Lady Li for her. After waiting for this, the light rain slowly became bigger, and Qin Yanran covered her head with her hand, but she only lowered her head slightly, and saw a pair of feet appear in front of her.

Looking up along those feet, it turned out to be Shen Linzhou.

"Let's go." He didn't ask anything, just stood next to her with an umbrella and made a gesture to move forward.

However, Qin Wuran was stunned there and didn't come back to her senses for a while, Shen Linzhou took two steps to see that no one had caught up, so he frowned slightly and turned his head, "Seeing that the rain is about to fall heavily, why don't you leave?" ”

Qin Wuran hurriedly followed.

"Why are you here?" Qin Wuran had some doubts in her heart.

"I knew you didn't have an umbrella with me, so I came looking for you."

Hearing this, Qin Wuran only felt a slight warmth in her heart, and she couldn't help but look behind her when she followed him, as if she was telling Old Lady Li to reassure him that now besides him, there are other people who care about him.

"Reluctantly?" Shen Linzhou saw her looking back frequently, so he asked.

Qin Wuran nodded, "The one I am most grateful to in my life is my grandfather, he has put a lot of effort into raising me and teaching me the truth over the years, and he is much better than my father." So I am definitely reluctant to give up, but I know that he also wants me to be good, so I have to live a better life myself. ”

Shen Linzhou also agreed with her idea.

"But I'm still more worried about me after I leave, I'm afraid that no one will look at him if the grass grows in front of his grave." Qin Wuran let out a long sigh, and the meaning of worry was obvious.

The people in this kind of village and town are actually a little superstitious, and they are convinced that people will go to another place after death, and Shen Linzhou is noncommittal about this, and just asks: "Your two uncles don't care about your grandfather at all, do you hate them in your heart?" ”

Qin Wuran was slightly stunned when she heard this, but then shook her head unexpectedly by Shen Linzhou.

"Why should I hate them? After all, my surname is Qin, their surname is Li, and they are still juniors, so I am not qualified to care so much, I just feel sorry for my grandfather. ”

Qin Wuran looked up at the sky slightly, the fine raindrops fell down, she remembered that one night when she just came to Yuanxi Town, Li Man was drunk outside and was photographed in the Li family's old house, saying that she owed a lot of money, and it seemed to be raining like this at that time, Qin Wuran shrank by the door alone, and looked out like this.

Old Lady Li is also a little majestic in the town, after all, most of the people in Yuanxi Town are surnamed Li, and Old Lady Li has a higher seniority, so these people don't treat Old Lady Li well.

But the accounts that should be thought about can't be counted, and the fierce men just blocked together, took several IOUs with handprints on them, and counted the money Li Man owed them one by one to Mrs. Li.

"Don't blame the old lady, what we do is to make a living from this small base, and it is also for the sake of your old man's face that he gave him so much credit, and now that he is not coming back, you will naturally have to pay it back for him."

Your old lady's face was pale with anger at that time, and Zhao Li was even more unwilling to care about Li Man, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and gritted his teeth and scolded back: "There has always been only the truth that the father and son repay the debt, he is such a big person, what can't he bear by himself?" If you have to come to the old man, he is not ashamed of himself, and you still help him? ”

The big man led by him spat and was not so polite to Zhao Li, "If you don't look down on him, he will scold him for being a waste, it has nothing to do with us, in short, I must get back the money I owe today." ”

"Then you go to his house to beg for it, I haven't seen him take a penny from the old house for so many years, but it's a lot smoother, and the family has money."

"Don't you want to go to his house? His mother-in-law couldn't come out of the door, and we couldn't kick open such a sturdy red lacquer door, and she threatened that this door alone was worth twenty taels of silver. Or is the door of your Li family's old mansion so open, and you can come in with such a push, do you have to ask for money? ”

Zhao Li quarreled with those people, after all, he didn't want to leave the old lady to take out the money, and the latter was also impatient with their quarrel, and scolded angrily, "Shut up!" ”

Both parties really kept their mouths shut, but Zhao Li couldn't calm down in his heart, but the few people on the opposite side were careless, and they didn't mean to take Old Lady Li's temper to heart at all.

In the end, it was Mrs. Li who compromised, slowed down his tone and said, "I can't take out one hundred taels for the time being, why don't you go with me to his house, and I will go to his daughter-in-law to get the money." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Man, who was lying on the ground as if pretending to be dead, immediately got up, and staggered at Old Lady Li and said nothing good in his mouth.

"Old man, I can tell you, don't say it's a hundred taels, even if it's one thousand taels or one thousand taels, you have to give it to me, this is what you owe me."

A man who was raised by his father to middle age and was still idle and idle, now pointing at his father's nose and scolding him for owing him by his father, it always makes people feel a little ironic, even incredible. But Li Man did it, and he has held such an idea for so many years, but he rarely understands it.

Old lady Li didn't speak, let Zhao Li quarrel with him, the person who came to ask for money originally listened to it in front of a lively scene, but the time was getting late, they all felt a little sleepy, clapped their hands twice and said: "I don't have time to serve you, if the old lady doesn't want to take this money, it's okay, let's throw your son into the river to feed the fish." Anyway, it's also unfilial, if he still expects to provide for you? ”

As he spoke, a few people stepped forward and pulled up.

Li Man was originally a fierce and inward-looking, but at this time, as soon as he was ruthless, he was a little afraid in his heart, so he could only scold while struggling: "Old man, I can tell you, those foolish accounts you owed when you were young, no matter how many hundred taels you take now, you can't make up for it." If I am really thrown into the river today, and I see my mother and grandfather and grandmother underground, I will definitely talk about it in front of them, and I will see if they will come to you in the middle of the night! ”

These words were unscrupulous, but they also happened to talk about Old Lady Li's wound, which made him clench his hands and grit his teeth for a while.

In the end, the person was naturally not thrown into the river, the one hundred taels were taken out by Mrs. Li, he went back to the house and turned out the box under the bed, and under the gaze of Qin Wuran, he opened the lock that had not been moved for several years.

There was money he had saved for his retirement, and he wanted to spend it until he was tired one day, and spent it until he entered the coffin, and it was best to prepare the funeral money by himself.

Obviously, he didn't take into account that these two sons would support themselves for the elderly.

So as soon as Mrs. Li took out the money, Li Man was let go, and those people weighed the money and left, and couldn't help but say to Mrs. Li: "What else is this kind of son going to do?" Because he is tired and tired, he knows only to eat your flesh and drink your blood. ”

Those people's words are undoubtedly correct, even if Mrs. Li has held hopes for these two sons for many years, hoping that they can change, not to be filial to their father and son, at least to arrange their own lives.

But the next day, Li Man stole the box, ignoring that the box was a relic left to him by Mrs. Li's wife, he directly split it, and when he got the money, he casually threw the wooden box outside.
