Chapter 265: Chapter 231 Let Him Cry_2 Rong Yan could already smell the aroma, and her not-so-hungry stomach was now enticed, "Alright." Qin Ye hurriedly scooped a basin of warm water for her, "Wife, you wash." Seeing his solicitous demeanor, Rong Yan’s mouth curled upward, and after washing up, she headed to the main room, only then noticing that Qin Mei had yet to touch her chopsticks. She pulled out a chair and sat down, "Why aren’t you eating?" "Waiting to eat with sister-in-law," Qin Mei said shyly. This little girl was really too well-behaved and endearing, Rong Yan actually wished she would be more lively, but everyone has their own personality, and it was not something that could be forcibly corrected. "Then we’ll eat together." Madam Rong ladled a bowl of chicken soup for each of them. "I stewed this at noon; the chicken was brought by Sister-in-law Tie. I couldn’t refuse it, so I accepted it." Rong Yan nodded, "Okay." Not to mention the matter of saving a life, just the life-saving herbs used from the "space" alone: eating a chicken was really nothing. If they really didn’t accept it, the giver would probably feel uneasy. "Mom’s always been great at making chicken soup!" Madam Rong was quite pleased with herself, "Of course, I learned this skill from your grandmother." Rong Yan:... They finished their meal quickly. Qin Mei got up to clean up, but Madam Rong quickly stopped her, "Hey, what are you doing? Leave it to your aunt." Qin Mei wanted to say it was okay, that she could help with some things. At that moment, Rong Yan said, "You can go back to your room to read or to take a nap. When your second brother comes back, you probably won’t have time." That child would certainly pester Qin Mei with stories of what happened along the way. Qin Mei was most obedient to her sister-in-law, and now the sister-in-law was suggesting she read, she nodded obediently, "Okay." She then remembered that her school bag seemed to be missing. Qin Ye mentioned, "Your things are in that room, you can either read there or come out to do so. If you want to sleep, you can use that bed." Originally, he had planned to use that room for himself and his wife to sleep in; no one had slept in it the night before, and it was still clean. But if someone else had slept in it, he planned to make up another room. At this point, Rong Wenming, who had been silent, timely said, "I think, we should go back with Qin Yu and Qin Mei after dinner! There is only one quilt here, and it wouldn’t be suitable for them to sleep here." Madam Rong, who was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, also agreed with this, "Right, the four of us will head back to the village at night." They still had several chickens at home that would starve if not fed. "That’s fine," Rong Yan nodded, agreeing it was indeed inappropriate for everyone to stay here, and if they did want to, it shouldn’t be today anyway, but after she had arranged the other rooms properly. "Then it’s settled. After dinner here, we’ll leave." Madam Rong turned to look at Qin Mei, "You can go home with your aunt tonight, all right?" The little girl was excessively reliant on Yanyan, and she feared that the girl might not be happy about it. But Qin Mei was very sensible and nodded her head, "Okay." She would feel safer sleeping in her own room. The family decided on this arrangement. Qin Ye looked at his wife, "Wife, you’re tired. Since little sister isn’t going to sleep, why don’t you take a nap?" Rong Yan shook her head, "No need, I slept a lot on the train! I’m quite alert now. If I sleep now, I won’t be able to sleep tonight." Hearing his wife say this, Qin Ye did not insist any further. However, he had already planned to arrange the other rooms so that in an emergency, other family members could also sleep over. When Qin Yu got out of school, the teacher called him, "Qin Yu, wait a minute. Your sister isn’t feeling well; take these things to her. This is a pound of Brown Sugar... to help her recover." Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. The teacher was giving his sister Brown Sugar? Why? Was she that good? However, he couldn’t accept this; otherwise, he feared his elder brother might break his legs. He quickly said, "Teacher, I can’t take this. My elder brother doesn’t allow us to accept anything from anyone. Moreover, my sister will be fine after resting for a couple of days. She’s not seriously ill." With that, he ran off like a shot. When he came to school in the morning, his sister had not been whisked away by human traffickers; he had only said she was unwell and needed a couple of days off. That’s right, Qin Yu took it upon himself to ask the homeroom teacher for two days off. Had he known that the teacher would actually offer such precious Brown Sugar to him, he wouldn’t have requested two days off for his sister in the morning. The homeroom teacher, seeing how fast the kid ran and disappeared in an instant, couldn’t help but shake her head with a chuckle. In reality, she wasn’t short of Brown Sugar, but others surely were. She quite liked Qin Mei as a student; she was quiet and loved learning. Which teacher wouldn’t? Upon hearing that she was sick and needed to take two days off, the teacher thought of the two packs of Brown Sugar she had. It would be nice to give one to Qin Mei to help her recover. To her surprise, not only did the boy reject it, but he also left in such a hurry. That’s fine; when Qin Mei returns to school, she can give it to her then. On the other hand, Qin Yu wished he could grow another pair of legs. They had said Sister-in-law and younger sister would be returning today; could they have already arrived...? The thought made him quicken his pace, his legs almost producing afterimages as he ran. Unbeknownst to him, two people had noticed his speed and were discussing him at that moment. "Who is this boy? How can he run so fast? He’s definitely got potential as a sprinter!" The man, Shu Jian Country, was from Jing City Sports School. His presence here was solely because his ancestral home was in the area and a family member had passed away; he was on leave to attend the funeral. "Director Shu, if you’re interested in him, we can make inquiries. Judging by his backpack, he seems to be a student." Bai Ruo Town had just one school where both elementary and junior high were housed together. Based on the boy’s height, they guessed he might be a middle school student. "Alright, let’s visit the school tomorrow." Initially, he had intended to return to Jing City the following day, but after spotting a promising talent, he resolved to find the boy. After locating him, he would conduct a test, and if the boy truly showed promise, he intended to take him away. Of course, this would need to be negotiated with the boy’s parents. Qin Yu had no idea he had caught the attention of someone because of his speed; he arrived home panting heavily. But when he saw his sister-in-law and younger sister standing in the yard... his joy knew no bounds. "Sister-in-law, Yanyan..." He shouted their names with particular exuberance. Rong Yan’s mouth twitched. Why did the boy shout so loudly? He nearly shattered her eardrums. But within a second, Rong Yan saw Qin Yu sobbing uncontrollably. "Sister-in-law, you’re the best, you found Yanyan. Otherwise, I would have begged or done anything to find her..." His fear the day before... no one could understand that kind of terror he felt then. He had lost his own sister, possibly never to see her again for the rest of his life... he would rather have died. Even if he was naive, hadn’t he heard about the dreadful fates of those kidnapped by traffickers? So, before receiving any news last night, he had already planned to sneak out searching for her. If he didn’t find Yanyan, he swore he wouldn’t return home. He never expected that his brother would return late at night bringing good news... Sister-in-law had found Yanyan. Seeing her second brother cry like this, Qin Mei was stunned because she had never seen him cry before. For a moment, she was at a loss, "Second brother, I’m fine... please don’t cry." She would have been better off not speaking, as her words made Qin Yu weep even harder. Qin Mei:... She looked towards her sister-in-law with a plea for help. Rong Yan, however, appeared quite composed, "Let him cry. He’s been holding it in all night. If he doesn’t let it out, he’d be even more uncomfortable!" Upon hearing this, Qin Mei uttered an "Oh" and stopped worrying. Qin Yu:... Now, should he continue crying, or not?
