51: Chapter 49: Got Money But Can’t Find the Person? 51: Chapter 49: Got Money But Can’t Find the Person? Being complimented like this, and especially by the person one likes, naturally fills the heart with joy, whether you’re a man or a woman. Just like Qin Ye at this moment, his heart... felt as if he had drunk honey, so sweet and delightful. “You look beautiful too.” These words carried heartfelt sincerity. His wife really was stunning. Especially today... he felt she looked even more beautiful than on their wedding day. On their wedding day, all he did was briefly glance at her, her face full of reluctance, and he treated her as a stranger. Because he knew deep down that she didn’t think highly of him. Of course, he didn’t have much feeling for her either, considering the wedding a ceremony they couldn’t avoid. Yet he hadn’t expected that in just two or three days, his heart would undergo such a massive change... he wanted this marriage to become real. He didn’t want to let her go. He wanted her to stay, to spend a lifetime with him. This was an intense desire he had never felt before. Even if this was a delusion, he wanted to take a chance for himself. Rong Yan: ... Is this his way of returning a compliment? “I’m getting up now.” She got up and crawled out. It wasn’t convenient, really not convenient. “Right, you want to wash your face, right? I’ll get Qin Yu to bring in the wash water for you.” She really wasn’t suited for such meticulous tasks of attending to others. “Okay.” Qin Ye nodded. “Also, I feel even better than yesterday, there’s a lot less pain. Your medicine is really very good.” He had suffered many injuries before. But this was the most serious injury he had sustained, and yet he felt the fastest recovery. Hearing this, Rong Yan confidently smiled, “Of course, who else could it be but my skills?” As in, her medicine. You wouldn’t find another such fast-acting remedy anywhere in the world. “...Then does that mean I might be able to get out of bed in a few days?” It was unbearable for someone used to working all the time to just lie there doing nothing. He felt restless and uncomfortable. Rong Yan glanced at him, “Are you in such a hurry to get up?” Qin Ye couldn’t discern if she was annoyed by his tone, but he carefully replied: “Mainly because... didn’t you say you were going to find someone to rebuild the new house today? I wanted to help out a little.” “You don’t need to worry about that, I’ll handle it. If you don’t want to end up limping for the rest of your life, then you better stay still.” “...Okay.” Just hearing the word ‘limping’ was enough to make his heart skip a beat. He already felt somewhat unworthy of her, and if his body became disabled... what would he have left? Rong Yan went out. She considered herself to have gotten up quite early, but evidently, the twin siblings were up much earlier than her. Qin Yu was sweeping the snow in the courtyard with a broom. “Sister-in-law.” “Yeah.” Rong Yan responded, then looked at the snowy whiteness with sheer joy, utterly astonished, “It actually snowed so much last night.” She had slept so deeply the night before that she hadn’t felt anything. Now, looking at this expanse of white, her mood was exceedingly good. “Sweep the snow into a pile, and later I’ll make an artwork for you guys.” Qin Yu: ...? What kind of artwork? Rong Yan didn’t waste time; she went to wash up and headed to the kitchen. Qin Mei had already boiled the hot water; she was sitting behind the stove, still tending the fire, making breakfast. When she saw her sister-in-law come in, she quickly got up, “Sister-in-law, do you want to wash your face?” Rong Yan nodded, “Yes.” Suddenly, she remembered something and took out a toothbrush and three tubes of toothpaste from her pocket, “Here, these toothbrushes and toothpaste are for you.” The toothpaste in the space had a label, no, that was bought at the supply and marketing cooperative with tickets obtained from the black market yesterday. As for the toothbrush, that was taken from the space, and it had no inscription. Because the quality of this toothbrush was much better than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. Qin Mei’s eyes lit up when she saw what was handed to her. But she was still hesitating. Rong Yan simply placed it on the table. “You must brush morning and night; you must take good care of your teeth.” Upon hearing this, Qin Mei nodded solemnly. Even as a little girl, she was conscious of beauty. She took the toothbrush with the pink handle and couldn’t let go. Having this toothbrush for the first time in her life, she loved and cherished it especially. “Right, this black one is for your older brother.” “Big brother has one,” Qin Mei suddenly blurted out. Their family only had one toothbrush, and that belonged to the eldest brother. Rong Yan: ... Was it that nearly worn-out toothbrush? “Change it for him.” “Alright,” Qin Mei had no objections to what her sister-in-law said. Clinging to the toothpaste and toothbrush, she ran out... Rong Yan then began to wash up. After she washed her face, she lifted the lid off the pot to find thick white rice porridge bubbling away. The aroma was rich; it seemed the little girl had indeed taken her words from yesterday to heart. During breakfast, the three of them drank their fill with satisfaction. Ever since yesterday, the brother and sister felt a sense of fullness and contentment; their stomachs were filled at every meal. “I’m stepping out,” Rong Yan said. In the past, she wouldn’t have bothered to inform anyone of her whereabouts. But facing these two little ones... their glances always gave her the feeling that they were afraid she’d never come back once she left. Her first stop was the team leader’s house. The door to the team leader’s house was conveniently open, and he happened to be stepping out. His face didn’t look too pleased upon seeing Rong Yan, and he had the impulse to step back inside. Clearly, Rong Yan disregarding everything and calling the police yesterday, whisking away two intellectual youths and Liu Er in one swoop, had not been without consequence. Indeed, being one of the concerned parties, Liu Er had also been taken. The team leader was a bit disgruntled. His tone was not very friendly, “...What is it?” “Team leader, try this,” Rong Yan offered him a cigarette. Of course, it was just one, as some people’s desires can never be satisfied, and she wouldn’t encourage others’ appetites. Team leader: ... He had never imagined that one day a girl would offer him a cigarette. And yet, there was something about a cigarette — it was not something easily refused. His eyes were sharp, and at first glance, he recognized it as a Red Plum brand — a good cigarette indeed! His hand moved faster than his brain, and he had already taken it. By the time he came to his senses, his expression stiffened. It was clearly inappropriate to give it back now. “...What is it?” Trembling, the hard-to-come-by item was already in his possession. “Actually, it’s nothing much, just that I want to renovate the old house where Qin Ye has been staying. We’ll start these next two days. Team leader, please spread the word that we’ll pay eight cents for a day’s work, and meals are not included. If anyone is willing to come, then come; if not, then forget it.” Finding people wasn’t difficult when money was at hand; it was just that she was too lazy to look outside herself. The team leader was prepared to return the cigarette when he first heard her talk about renovating the house and looking for people. But after hearing the rest of her statement, he decided the cigarette was worth lighting. Eight cents a day? That was no small sum. “Really paying eight cents?” If it was true, he, too, wanted to work.
