Chapter 147: Chapter 143: Can We Do Something Bad? Qin Ye’s mother-in-law and father-in-law came to visit their Qin Family’s Team in the village... In just about ten minutes, the news had already spread throughout the entire Qin Family’s Team. Huang Cuihua was also aware of the situation, and she was quite curious, “Husband, what do you think... What does Qin Ye’s father-in-law coming over here mean? Why are city folks coming to our village? Looking at their big and small packages... do they want to take their daughter back with them?” The couple looked like they were from the city indeed. If she were in their shoes... she also wouldn’t want her daughter to marry into this village. Everyone’s jostling to get into the city because life there is better than in their village, isn’t it? “Don’t you worry about it, and don’t go babbling about it outside,” Captain Qin warned. He didn’t want to get too involved in Qin Ye’s family affairs. Don’t be fooled by how quiet Qin Ye usually seems, working his head off silently, but... he knew that this lad was tougher than anybody else in the village. Huang Cuihua rolled her eyes in exasperation, “...What am I babbling about?” Just then, there was a knock on the door. Captain Qin couldn’t be bothered to get up, so he said to his wife, “You go open the door.” Huang Cuihua stood up and walked towards the door. When she opened it, she saw Rong Yan, especially noticing the bag of things Rong Yan was carrying, her smile involuntarily brightened. “Hey, Qin Ye’s wife, why have you come? Come in, come in.” Rong Yan handed over a bag of snacks, “Auntie, these are some pastries and candies I brought from Jing City for your family to try.” “Oh, you’re too kind! Thank you so much!” Huang Cuihua’s hands were quick to receive the gifts. She gripped them tightly as if she feared Rong Yan might change her mind. Rong Yan smiled before stepping inside, “Auntie, is the team leader home?” “He’s here! He’s here! I’ll call him out,” Huang Cuihua turned and shouted towards the court, “Husband, husband, come out quickly. Qin Ye’s wife is here; she needs to see you!” Captain Qin heard his wife calling and came out to see Rong Yan. He asked, “Qin Ye’s wife, you’re back. What’s the matter?” It wouldn’t be for a proof to return to the city, would it? If that were the case, well then... if Qin Ye couldn’t keep her, it would just be his bad luck. “Captain, it’s like this: first, I’m here to officially end my leave; and second, my parents will stay in the village for a few months before going back. My father isn’t doing too well, so I’ve brought him here for his health. This is the proof from our Jing City side, please take a look.” Rong Yan stepped forward and handed the document to Captain Qin. Captain Qin took it and saw that it was indeed the case. Turns out she wasn’t here to get proof to leave and go back to the city. Qin Ye... that guy’s luck is really something else. To bag a city girl, and a pretty one at that... “No problem, stay as long as you like.” As long as they don’t cause trouble, coming here... it’s also equivalent to staying at their daughter and son-in-law’s place. He, as the team leader, didn’t have much to say about it. “Alright, then I’ll head back first,” Rong Yan took the proof back from Captain Qin’s hand. Without it, she wouldn’t be able to stay in hotels or travel freely. “...Sure,” Captain Qin nodded his head. Seeing her about to leave, Huang Cuihua, feeling indebted for the gifts, cordially said with a smile, “Why not sit for a while before going?” “No thanks, I’ve just come back and there’s a pile of chores at home; I need to get going.” “That makes sense. Have your parents come over and visit sometime,” Huang Cuihua politely escorted her to the door. After watching her leave, she couldn’t wait to open the bag in her hands... setting eyes on pastries and fruit candies she had never seen before, she grinned, revealing her big yellow teeth. “Qin Ye really struck gold; his wife sure knows how to deal with people better than he does.” Captain Qin agreed with that, although it seemed Rong Yan wasn’t like this before marrying Qin Ye; she hadn’t been as shrewd. Rong Yan got home, just in time to see her mother come out after pouring water from her bath. “Mom, you didn’t rest well on the train; why don’t you take a good nap this afternoon?” “I’m not tired, why would I sleep?” She was perfectly healthy; lying in bed in the middle of the day would be ludicrous. Besides, this was her son-in-law’s house. Even if she were exhausted, she couldn’t just lie down in the middle of the day! “Right, did you go to the team leader’s house? Did you talk about us staying here for a few months?” Rong Yan nodded, “Yes, I’ve discussed it. Just settle in and make yourselves comfortable here.” “That’s good.” Madam Rong originally thought of going herself, but, after a long journey looking dusty and disheveled, she couldn’t possibly visit someone else’s house. Madam Rong hadn’t come here to relax; whatever chores she could help with, she would. “If you want to take a bath, go ahead quickly, I’ll wash your clothes together with mine later.” “No need, I can wash my own,” Rong Yan firmly refused. “Why be formal with your mom? Later, if there are any dirty clothes from the son-in-law or anything, bring them here, and I’ll wash them. I’m idle anyway; it keeps the bones from aching.” Madam Rong was always busy back at home, and here, she wasn’t about to let herself be idle either. “Mom, there’s no need for you to be busy. He can wash his own clothes. Don’t worry about it, just take care of Dad. If you have time...you might as well stew some medicinal soup for Dad.” Madam Rong: ... What did she mean by he could wash his own clothes? Could it be that her son-in-law still does his own laundry? But Rong Yan didn’t give her a chance to ask; she headed straight back to her room. Madam Rong watched her go, sighed, and decided to give up worrying about how the young couple got along. After going inside, Rong Yan picked up her clothes and headed to the bathing space. Qin Ye had just brought in the heated water. “Wife, the water’s ready, should I pour it into this tub?” “Is this wooden barrel new?” Rong Yan looked at the rather large barrel with a very smooth surface. Qin Ye nodded, “Yes, I had some free time recently and made two.” One for her, and one for his younger sister. As for himself and Qin Yu... they were men, they didn’t need them. “It looks nice. Pour the water in!” Rong Yan commanded him without any hesitation. Qin Ye immediately began pouring the water... feeling the burning gaze from behind him, he tensed up all over. His throat unconsciously swallowed, “...I’ll go get you more water.” “Okay.” Originally Rong Yan had planned to bathe in the ‘space,’ but since the water was brought in, she saw no need to go into the ‘space’ now. After all, she could only enter once a day; no point in wasting the opportunity. With the empty bucket in hand, Qin Ye left, his footsteps almost floating...
