Chapter Twenty-Three: The Only Confidant Relative!
It took a lot of effort for Qin Chengyu to untie the rope.
Enduring the pain in his body, he stood up with difficulty, and walked out of the empty house with staggering steps.
The flashlight was smashed by the two damn people, and the phone was out of battery, but fortunately, in the bright moonlight, you don't need lights to see the road under your feet.
Looking around, there are farmland on the east and west sides, small stone roads on the north and south, and a few large pines and cypresses can be vaguely seen in the past.
Qin Chengyu recognized this place, which was near the Dragon King Temple in Qinjiaqiaohou Village.
Fortunately, it is a familiar place since childhood, otherwise I would definitely not be able to find my way home tonight, and I would have to sleep on the ridge for the night.
It's cool here, that is, mosquitoes can eat people, and water snakes pass by from time to time to harass, and all kinds of flying insects in the field are infested, and you can't stay for a moment.
Dragging his sore, tired body, he walked slowly along the way, washed his face by the river and sobered up, and then continued to walk after cleaning his wounds by the way.
When I arrived at the door of the house, the lights were on in the house, and I could hear the lively sound from afar, as if there were guests.
When Qin Chengyu walked to the door to push it open, he heard a clear "bang" sound inside, which was familiar, it was the sound of rubbing mahjong on the table.
Don't guess, it must be the stepmother who can't be idle, because she is the only one in the family who can play with this thing.
Gently pushing the door open, Qin Chengyu covered his face and went straight to the room to get a change of clothes.
When the people at the table in the room saw Qin Chengyu's reaction, they instinctively glanced at the past, and then turned their heads and continued to do big things when they didn't see it.
As for her stepmother Liu Meixing, she glanced at her with disgust, and chattered in her mouth: "The old one didn't make a lot of money by working overtime and dying, and the small money didn't make and I always deducted my salary, and the money I earned was not as much as I won playing mahjong!"
"I've worked hard to run this family, it's easy for me, alas, Xiaodi and I are really hard, stand up to your father and son who have no interest!"
This woman complained in front of outsiders and asked others to point the finger at the father and son for the poverty of the family, just to win the sympathy and pity of others, so as to cover up the fact that she was lazy.
Although Qin Chengyu doesn't talk to her for more than half a sentence and lacks mother-son feelings, he still knows her very well.
is full of scheming, commanding his family at home, pretending to be a good wife in front of others, complaining and complaining.
Qin Chengyu never bothered with her, nor did he bother to communicate with her more, what efforts do the family generally need, what requirements Liu Meixing has, he basically responds to requests, and rarely shirks, unless he is unable to do it.
Not to mention his father Qin Sheng, he almost let it go.
So much so that Liu Meixing is a dominant family in this family, pampered and willful, and does whatever she wants.
If you want to say that there is some restraint, only when Qin Chengyu's grandfather Qin Huazu occasionally comes to this house, he will give some face.
However, it is no secret in the village that she covets an old heirloom not out of respect or filial piety to the elderly.
It's just that no one knows what the heirloom is, probably only Qin Huazu knows, including Qin Sheng and Qin Chengyu, and they have never asked.
However, Liu Meixing has been thinking about family heirlooms since she married into the Qin family, and she mentions it intentionally or unintentionally from time to time.
"Mom, can you stop talking! Brother is tired from working overtime, by the way, brother, I boiled hot water for you and haven't flushed it into the kettle yet, you can go and take a bath with it! ”
Liu Meixing's cold eyes and cold words were interrupted by her daughter Xiaodi.
Xiao Di's surname is Chen, and her single name is a single name.
It was not born to Liu Meixing and Qin Sheng, but the youngest daughter born to her ex-husband, and her son followed her ex-husband, and her surname has not changed.
This sister, who has no blood relationship with Qin Chengyu, is fundamentally different from her mother, except that she is sometimes skinny, and her heart is still kind.
To her stepfather Qin Sheng and grandfather Qin Huazu, Chen Di is very filial and respectful.
is also very close to Qin Chengyu's brother, and often comes out when he is harassed by his unreasonable mother.
Therefore, in the Qin family, even if Chen Di is not the bloodline of the Qin family, she is the most favored junior.
Fortunately, this sister is not pampered and arrogant, not only studying hard, but also very well-behaved and sensible, and she is a good girl in the village or in front of her classmates.
"Alas, I know, thank you Xiaodi!" Qin Chengyu responded to his sister through the door in the room.
Seeing that her daughter was so attentive to her unpromising stepson, Liu Meixing's face was ugly, and she glared at her daughter very uncomfortably: "Go to sleep, you can't sleep and read!" Don't talk back here and mix it up! ”
"Slightly...... Not really! Chen Di pouted and made a strange face at the angry Liu Meixing.
provoked Liu Meixing to be angry, she was really angry and reluctant, "You stinky girl, you are still ......"
After a while, Qin Chengyu held a change of clothes and towels, pushed open the door and went to the small wooden room at the back of the house.
There are two small rooms separated in the wooden room, one for the toilet and the other for the bath.
A few steps along the way to the wooden house with the electric kettle, Qin Chengyu vaguely heard someone following behind, and it was the sound of slippers snapping quickly.
When I turned my head, it was my sister Chen Di.
As soon as she turned around suddenly, Chen Di was so frightened that she almost didn't stand firm and fell aside.
"Surprise me, brother! Belch...... Brother, will you wash it now? Chen Di flashed her big watery eyes and said.
"Xiaodi, are you here to go to the bathroom? Oh that, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wash it when you're done! Qin Chengyu gave way.
Chen Di shook her head, "No, I'm here to find you." ”
Qin Chengyu thought that his sister had encountered something difficult, so he asked her, "What's the matter?" Do you need any help from my brother, just talk to my brother! ”
"Hey, hey, our brother is just refreshing, thank you! But I'm not looking for you because I need help, it's you. Did something happen to you today? ”
Qin Chengyu noticed that his sister's eyes deliberately stayed on the wound, and made up a lie temporarily: "Oh, you said the wound, I lent my battery car to a colleague to send his girlfriend home, so I came back by night." The mobile phone is out of battery, and the black light is blind and I don't pay attention to it and falls on the stone pier, so it's like this! ”
Although it was said very lightly, it was still seen through by the attentive sister at a glance, "No! Definitely not! Brother, you still want to hide it from me, this blue nose and swollen face are obviously fighting with someone, and they were beaten, so they didn't fight back, right? ”
"You just entered the room with your back to the person and your face covered with your hands, and I noticed that something was wrong!"
Qin Chengyu didn't want his family to worry, especially the only confidant in front of him.
Now that the truth has been discovered, he can't help but admit it.
"It's nothing, just the young man's blood is strong, and a little misunderstanding can't be explained...... But it's okay, your brother resisted the beating, and besides, I also beat him, no one suffers a loss, and if he hurts, he won't dare to do anything to me in the future! ”
Chen Di uses her understanding of the honest brother, if it is about skills, even if three or four people treat him, they may not be able to take advantage.
And he meant that he was fighting with him alone, Chen Di couldn't believe it.
Although there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people, since he entered the Qin family and met this new brother, he has never seen anyone who can beat him alone.
What can hurt him is either several people sneak attack together, or they grab his handle or weakness to coerce him, forcing him to give up fighting back and be beaten on the spot.
This is obviously my brother not going head-to-head, looking carefully at the extent of his injuries, the punches and kicks are so clear, Chen Di is convinced that his brother was beaten, and it is true that he almost didn't fight back.
