Chapter 181 The real little grass is gone.
"What this system promised you, it will not forget. Keep it safe!" The mechanical voice carried a hint of pride and smugness.
Qin Yingxue felt a sudden weight on her body, reached into her pocket, and found something extra. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked around.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Da Bao, and no one noticed Qin Yingxue's unusual behavior.
Besides, we already wear a lot of clothes in winter, and I don't know what the system gave us, so the small amount wasn't really noticeable.
"Sister Qin..." Qin Xiaocao, not receiving a response from Qin Yingxue, added with a smile, "Sister Qin, you don't still hold a grudge about what happened last year, do you?"
“Shirley…”
Before Qin Yingxue could speak, Jiang Linlin interrupted her with a displeased look: "Don't say that. Oh, by the way, Yingxue, Xiaocao changed her name to Qin Xueli, and this is her boyfriend, Mr. Wang."
"Hello, Ms. Qin." Mr. Wang noticed a flash of amazement in Qin Yingxue's eyes before politely greeting her.
Qin Yingxue nodded and took Song Shiyan from Jiang Linlin's arms: "It's time for the baby to drink his milk, we'll be going now."
After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she picked up the child and left without waiting for Jiang Linlin and the others to react.
What Shirley? Mr. Wang has nothing to do with her.
Qin Xiaocao had saved Jiang Linlin from injury, and Qin Xiaocao had paid for her medical expenses at the hospital, so she didn't owe Jiang Linlin anything.
After all, Qin Xiaocao and Jiang Linlin were birds of a feather.
There's no need to hold a grudge; let's just treat each other like strangers!
Watching Qin Yingxue's departing figure, Qin Xiaocao—no, Qin Xueli—felt resentful, her nails digging into her palms until they bled without her realizing it…
When they got home, Song Yanchuan and Song Shiyao hadn't returned yet, but Zhu Huiwen had already coaxed Song Shiqing to sleep.
Qin Yingxue handed Song Shiyan over to Zhu Huiwen and went to make milk powder.
Seeing Song Shiyan holding the baby bottle and drinking milk by himself, Qin Yingxue took the opportunity to take out a small box from her pocket. Inside was a jade thumb ring and a jade pendant.
Is this really worth a fortune?
Just as Qin Yingxue was about to pick it up and examine it in the sunlight, she heard Song Yanchuan talking to someone in the courtyard.
Qin Yingxue quickly put the jade pendant and jade thumb ring into her spatial storage.
"Yingxue, look who's here!" Song Yanchuan called out from the courtyard.
Qin Yingxue got up and walked to the door. When she saw Qian Xiaofeng and Qian Xiaolian arriving with lots of bags, she exclaimed with delight, "You're here! Why did you bring so much stuff?"
"Sister Qin, Happy New Year!" Qian Xiaolian was much more cheerful now, and she happily placed the gift she was carrying on the table in the main room. When she saw Song Shiyan being held by Qin Yingxue, she was overjoyed: "They look so alike, so cute..."
Seeing Qian Xiaolian's smiling face, Qin Yingxue asked, "Want a hug?"
"Can I hug you? Will you recognize people? Will you cry...?" Qian Xiaolian wanted to hug him but was full of worry.
"No, Yan Yan, how about letting Auntie hug you?" Qin Yingxue asked her son in a low voice.
Song Shiyan had finished drinking his milk. Hearing his mother's question, he raised his innocent and naive face and stretched out his chubby little hand to Qian Xiaolian.
Qian Xiaolian was immediately excited and hurriedly reached out to gently hug Song Shiyan, being careful not to accidentally bump or hurt him.
Little Song Shiyan was very well-behaved, letting Qian Xiaolian hold him without crying or making a fuss.
Qin Yingxue went back to her room and picked up Song Shiqing. Together with Song Shiyao in Song Yanchuan's arms, the three children were all together. Even Qian Xiaofeng was full of admiration.
“The three faces look exactly alike, Sister Qin, how did you tell them apart?” Qian Xiaolian looked them over and asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Actually, if you look closely, there are subtle differences..." Qin Yingxue gently told the Qian siblings about the differences.
Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.
With Qin Yingxue and Song Yanchuan persuading them to stay, and later Chen Jialiang joining them, the Qian siblings were already too small to fit everyone at the octagonal table.
Bai Haijian originally wanted to have something to eat in the kitchen with Xiao Haifeng and Yang Weijun, but Qin Yingxue stopped him.
Song Yanchuan added a stool to the corner of the table, and everyone squeezed together, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Because Chen Jialiang was there, Song Yanchuan drank a little wine with him.
After the meal, Qin Yingxue prepared return gifts for the Qian siblings: a large bag of dried seafood, a fountain pen, a notebook...
Chen Jialiang gave them a bag of dried seafood.
Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue took their three children to pay New Year's visits to their elders. They spent every day eating and drinking, and by the fifth day, it was time to return to the island.
Early in the morning, the entire Qin family came to see him off.
Even Jiang Linlin, who is often nowhere to be seen, appeared.
“I’ve been in Qing City for the past two days.” Jiang Linlin flirtatiously tossed her long hair, then looked at Qin Yingxue and asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want to come to Yanjing with me? Let me tell you, I’ve already found two partners, and we’re planning to open four more shops in Yanjing this year…”
"No."
Qin Yingxue smiled and declined.
“Xiaocao went back to the United States with Mr. Wang. Before she left, she asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. She was narrow-minded and her attitude was wrong on the first day of the Lunar New Year.” Jiang Linlin smiled as she said this. “It wasn’t easy for her to get to where she is today. You are the first person to make her break down.”
Qin Yingxue remained silent.
"Yingxue, aren't you curious about how much the grass has changed?" Jiang Linlin couldn't help but ask when she saw Qin Yingxue's indifferent expression.
She suddenly transformed from a country bumpkin into a fashionable young woman, and despite being illiterate, she even went abroad to date a very impressive boyfriend.
It's impossible for a person to change that much, unless...
She must have had some extraordinary experience, or perhaps she was replaced by someone else.
This was the thought Qin Yingxue had when she first met Qin Xiaocao.
"Actually, the real little grass is gone; now she is..."
Jiang Linlin didn't say what it was in the end.
But that has already explained everything.
As she boarded the train back home, Qin Yingxue kept recalling Jiang Linlin's hesitant, bitter smile.
Jiang Linlin must feel guilty about the non-existent Qin Xiaocao!
That's why we are more tolerant and understanding of Qin Xueli now.
After a train ride of more than ten hours, the three little ones were full of energy, but the adults were exhausted, and Zhu Huiwen even fell ill.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe did not come back this time; they planned to stay at home for a while longer.
So Zhu Huiwen traveled with everyone on the train, a long journey, and in the freezing cold, it took her a full week to recover from her illness.
Qin Yingxue also rested for three days before she recovered her energy.
Fortunately, Li Xinghua and the Wen siblings have been helping to take care of the three children these past few days, otherwise the house would have been in complete chaos.
The day after Song Yanchuan returned, he trained his soldiers in the army and helped take care of his children at night.
"Am I too weak?" Qin Yingxue asked Song Yanchuan. "Once Mom gets better, I'll start my small business."
