137: Chapter 133 Who is this person 137: Chapter 133 Who is this person Qin Yu could only accept the money, feeling a warm glow in his heart. The most he had ever received for New Year’s money made his heart scalding hot. He liked it here, and he liked his aunt and sister-in-law, too. Madam Rong turned to look at her own daughter. That look... it made Rong Yan’s scalp tingle, so she had no choice but to ask, “Mom, why are you looking at me like that?” “You’re the eldest daughter-in-law, shouldn’t you also give something?” Madam Rong asked, prompting reflection. Seeing that it was about him, Qin Yu quickly waved his hand, “No need...” He already had this grand sum of ten yuan, what more could he want? That would be improper. Rong Yan had actually prepared something, but it was twenty yuan. Originally, she wanted to give more, as she used to be quite generous. These sums of ten or twenty yuan were quite embarrassing for her. But then she remembered... twenty yuan here was indeed a considerable sum, equivalent to an ordinary factory worker’s monthly salary. So it was quite a lot after all. However, now she decided to repackage the red envelope to match what her mother gave. So she handed over the neatly arranged red envelope, “Here, Happy New Year!” Qin Yu: ... “What are you staring for? Since it’s from your big sister-in-law, you should take it.” “Thank you, big sister-in-law!” Qin Yu had no choice but to accept the red envelope. Just by celebrating the New Year, he had suddenly come into so much money. It was something he had never even imagined before. Staying up for New Year’s Eve was still quite novel for Rong Yan, as she had never done it before. However, since there was no TV at home, they could only chat, eat sunflower seeds, and chat some more, which was also quite boring. When it struck twelve, Madam Rong relaxed and let them both go back, “You two go back to your room and sleep!” Rong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, no need to stay up until dawn. “Okay, I’ll go back to my room and sleep first, mom, you should go to sleep early too.” “Alright, I know, you both should sleep early, and wake up early tomorrow, the first day of the New Year, waking up early is a sign that you will be industrious all year long.” Rong Yan: ...is there really such an idea? If it were true, she would prefer to sleep in a bit longer, could it mean she’d get to sleep in all year long? Qin Yu indicated that he could stay up a bit later, but Madam Rong pushed him off, “Little child, go to sleep early, you’ll grow taller.” Qin Yu: ... Okay, his height was a sensitive issue. So the aunt and nephew each went back to their own rooms to sleep. Similarly, New Year’s Eve at Qin Yu’s household was slightly different from previous years, with a few more dishes added to the meal. As for the tradition of giving New Year’s money, it was absent in previous years and remained absent this year. Qin Mei didn’t really have any opinion on it. Her only wish for the New Year was for her sister-in-law and second brother to come home soon. At two in the morning, Qin Ye showed no signs of sleepiness, his mind filled with thoughts of his wife. Ever since that night, his feelings for her had grown day by day. What she was like before... he never really paid attention and couldn’t even recall. All he thought about were the moments they had shared together in recent days... He wondered if his wife came back this time, could they truly become husband and wife? In a drowsy haze... in the dark, he suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce look in them. He quickly grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed, draped them over himself, then got out of bed and walked out the door. He saw two dark figures making their way toward the main gate to leave. Upon seeing these silhouettes, Qin Ye’s face was filled with malice. What was most important was that they seemed to be carrying a person... clearly, it was his little sister. This inflamed his rage, and he immediately sprang into action... The two people had not anticipated that Qin Ye would be awakened so soon and now thought it was too late to flee, so one pushed the other, “You go quickly, I’ll hold him off.” Seeing this, the other person quickened his pace, exited through the main gate and ran towards the direction of the mountains... Qin Ye’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he watched the person charging at him and sent a kick flying in his direction. The man hurriedly dodged the attack and quickly brandished a knife, lunging at Qin Ye. Qin Ye hadn’t expected the man to evade his kick, nor that he would have a knife; he struck again with his leg... and kicked the knife away. As the man’s wrist throbbed with pain, he realized he was no match for Qin Ye and didn’t dare continue the fight, turning to run... Would Qin Ye let him escape just like that? He was faster than the man. With a running start, he launched a kick that sent the man sprawling to the ground. He couldn’t waste time and chopped with his hand... rendering the man unconscious. Then, he swiftly pursued the man toward the rear mountain. After all, he was more familiar with the terrain and since the abductor hadn’t gotten far, it took less than 5 minutes for Qin Ye to catch up with him. “Don’t come any closer, or else... I’ll kill her...” The man was panicking, his blade pressed against Qin Mei’s neck. He hadn’t expected Qin Ye to catch up so quickly. Qin Ye was seething with anger; if looks could kill, the man before him would have died countless times over. “Let her go.” The man didn’t dare loosen his grip, and of course, he didn’t comply. If he really released the girl in his grasp, he believed he would meet a gruesome end. With this thought, the blade edged closer to Qin Mei’s neck, the tip already piercing her skin slightly. Despite the sting, Qin Mei didn’t come to, clearly having been drugged into unconsciousness. The moonlight shone down as Qin Ye still made out the man’s movements, his anger intensifying. A surge of brutality overtook his entire being. “Release her, and I’ll spare your life.” The man felt confident, all he needed to do was to keep a tight hold on the young girl. “Break one of your legs, and I’ll let her go...” Fueled by extreme anger, Qin Ye somehow appeared eerily calm, making him seem even more terrifying and fearsome. Especially in the night. The man, witnessing such a demeanor, felt his legs go weak. Maybe it was due to excessive nervousness, but he couldn’t control the force in his hand, and the blade sank a bit further into the skin. This time, the pain brought Qin Mei into consciousness. She opened her eyes, only to find herself not in her own room, but in these woods... especially with someone restraining her. She was so frightened she couldn’t even cry out, just tears streaming down her face. Qin Mei’s tearful eyes, silent crying, stabbed Qin Ye’s heart with pain. But the blade was ultimately too close to his little sister’s neck, so he didn’t dare make any rash moves. “Hurry up, or I’ll stab her...” the man was anxious and panicked, knowing that if daylight came, his escape would be even more difficult. Qin Ye stared at him, then slowly nodded and began to bend down... The man was becoming more nervous at this action, his eyes tracking closely, afraid that Qin Ye might attempt any tricks. So he overlooked Qin Mei. Suddenly, Qin Mei lowered her head and bit down hard on the hand clamping her chin...
