Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as Qin Xiaomin left, Niu Allan came out of the room.
She ran to the window and watched Qin Xiaomin walk out, but she didn’t stop her.
Qin Zhiye looked at it and asked in surprise, “You’re not going to stop her?”
Niu Ailan snorted, “Why should I stop her? Li Yong isn’t here. He’s probably out of S City.”
No matter where she went, as long as she didn’t see Li Yong, she didn’t care!
Hearing his wife’s words, Qin Zhiye shook his head helplessly. “Come quickly. Even if she doesn’t eat, we have to eat!”
Qin Xiaomin went straight to Qin Junshan after she left the house.
They were having their meal as well. A few children were sitting around the table, and Qin Junshan looked at them with a kind gaze.
The moment Qin Xiaomin entered the room, she went straight to the dining table and asked Ji Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, where did your Second Uncle go?”
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t go home last night and wasn’t at the scene today, so she naturally didn’t know that Li Yong had followed the other to H City.
She shook her head suspiciously. “I don’t know. Auntie Xiaomin, why are you looking for my Second Uncle?”
Qin Xiaomin nodded and sat down at the table. “Your mother definitely knows, right? Auntie Xiaomin will send you home later, okay?”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and looked at Qin Junshan.
Qin Junshan glared at her. “You can go by yourself. Why are you dragging my granddaughter-in-law along?”
Qin Xiaomin ignored Qin Junshan and urged Ji Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, be good and eat quickly. After eating, Auntie will take you home to find Mommy!”
Qin Junshan snorted in anger. “Yuanyuan, don’t listen to your aunt Xiaomin.
You have to cat slowly. Eating too fast is not good for your body!”
Qin Xiaomin then looked at Qin Junshan. “Uncle, stop causing trouble. I really have something to ask you.”
“You’ll have to wait for my granddaughter-in-law to finish her meal first.” Qin Junshan glared at her.
When he faced Qin Xiaomin, he frowned and treated her coldly. However, when facing Ji Yuanyuan, he quickly changed his expression and instructed with a smile, “Eat slowly. Eat more of this spinach. It’s good for your eyes.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and put on a sweet smile. “Thank you, Grandpa!”
Ji Yuanyuan ate slowly, and when she finally finished eating, Qin Xiaomin carried her and left. “Let’s go. Auntie will take you home!”
Ji Yuanyuan wrapped his arms around Qin Xiaomin’s neck and said goodbye to Qin Junshan, “Goodbye, Grandpa!”
When Qin Mucheng saw this, he put down her chopsticks and looked at Qin Junshan. “Grandpa…”
Qin Junshan sighed. He naturally understood his grandson’s thoughts.
He waved his hand and looked at Gong wenbai,” “Xiao Gong, you drive them there!”
Gong wenbai stood up and waved at the children. “Let’s go. All of you follow me!”
Qin Mucheng heard this and quickly followed.
When Gong wenbai brought the children out to chase after them, Qin Xiaomin had already left with Ji Yuanyuan on her bicycle.
With no other choice, Gong wenbai could only drive Qin Mucheng, Ji Zixuan, and Ji Zi’ang to chase after them.
Gong Wenbai drove faster than Qin Xiaomin rode her bike, so when they arrived, Qin Xiaomin and Ji Yuanyuan had not yet arrived!
When Li Xu and Zhang Kun saw the three children coming back, they asked in surprise, “Where’s Yuanyuan? Why didn’t Yuanyuan come back with you?” “Yuanyuan is with Auntie Xiaomin. She’ll be back soon.” Ji Zixuan explained. “She’s back! She’s back!” Ji Zi’ang shouted.
When Li Xu went out, she saw Qin Xiaomin riding her bicycle not far away. Ji
Yuanyuan was in the back seat, and she was coming over!
When Qin Xiaomin arrived and parked the car, Qin Mucheng helped Ji Yuanyuan down the bicycle.
Qin Xiaomin greeted Li Xu awkwardly, “Sister!”
Li Xu nodded her head and greeted her warmly. “Come in and sit!”
After all, she was the person Li Yong liked. Even if Qin Xiaomin’s parents treated Li Yong like that, Li Xu couldn’t be angry at Qin Xiaomin.
She knew that Qin Xiaomin would not come here for no reason. She probably had something to say to her.
It just so happened that there were not many people in the shop at this time. Li Xu instructed Zhang Kun, “Take the children out to play for a while.”
Zhang Kun also understood Li Xu’s intention and stood up immediately. “Alright,” he said.
After Zhang Kun left with the children, only Li Xu and Qin Xiaomin were left in the store.
Li Xu saw that Qin Xiaomin kept her head down, and her hands were clasped together. She knew that Qin Xiaomin was too embarrassed to speak.
Hence, Li Xu took the initiative to ask, “You’re here to contact Xiao Yong? But you’re too late. He’s not here anymore.”
Qin Xiaomin suddenly raised her head and asked, “Where did he go?” Did he go to H City?”
“How did you know?” Li Xu was a little surprised. “Did Xiao Yong contact you?”
Qin Xiaomin pursed her lips and shook her head. After a moment, she said, “My mother met him on the road.”
Hearing this, Li Xu fell silent. Then, she said in a low voice, “Yes, we donated some resources to H City. His brother went with him, so he followed. Maybe he didn’t tell you because he didn’t find a chance!”
Qin Xiaomin smiled bitterly. “If he had told me in advance, I definitely wouldn’t have let him go. H City is so dangerous now. What can he do if he went?”
There were soldiers and professional rescue teams there. For an ordinary person like Li Yong, he might only cause trouble for others if he went.
Li Xu didn’t say anything. She could also understand Qin Xiaomin’s feelings.
Naturally, she was worried about her two younger brothers.
However, despite her worry, she did not stop him.
She believed her two younger brothers could protect themselves and that the country could protect their people.
“Sis, I saw a few cars. Did you guys donate them? It should be quite expensive, right?” Qin Xiaomin quickly changed the topic and asked with a forced smile.
Li Xu nodded her head. “Yes, the drivers are all acquaintances. There’s no shipping fee. The rest is just some vegetables grown at home, some mineral water, and instant noodles. It didn’t cost much.”
These words were said lightly, but Qin Xiaomin knew that not everyone had such courage.
A few truckloads of vegetables arc estimated to be tens of thousands of catties, almost 10,000 Yuan, plus the rest of the things.
She suddenly felt that what she had just said was a little selfish.
She forced a smile. “Nothing. I just want to know where he went. Now that I know, I’m relieved. If he comes back…”
She paused for a moment and did not finish her sentence.
She had wanted to say, ‘If Li Yong comes back, tell him to find her:
But how was he going to find her? If her parents saw him, it might be another round of humiliation.
“Forget it. I won’t disturb you any longer.” Qin Xiaomin stood up and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Qin Xiaomin walked to the door, but Li Xu suddenly called out to her.
Qin Xiaomin turned around in surprise.
“When Xiao Yong returns, I’ll get him to look for you.” Li Xu said.
Qin Xiaomin pursed her lips and nodded in embarrassment.
“And the three hundred thousand!” Li Xu continued, “Our whole family is trying to think of a way. We won’t let you wait too long..”
