Such a loud noise naturally reached Ye Yun's ears inside the house.
Ye Yun knew what was going on just by hearing the sound, but she didn't bother to pay attention. Even if Li Xiuying was protecting her, she couldn't feel the warmth of being protected.
Li Xiuying was not defending her.
Rather, the benefits that the power in her and Qin Zheng's hands can bring to her.
Little Chuqi's sleep was a little uneasy because of the noise outside. Whenever there was a slap outside, she would move uncomfortably, and there was a faint sign of being awakened.
Ye Yun raised her hand and closed the window, blocking out most of the sounds outside.
Qin Xiang'e and Qin Zheng were also talking outside.
When he found out that Li Xiuying was fighting with others, Qin Zheng wanted to go out and attack them.
It would be embarrassing for Li Xiuying to continue fighting like this, and it would also cause Ye Yun and her children to take a break.
But before he could go out, he was stopped by Qin Xiang'e, who was afraid that Li Xiuying would rely on him again.
Qin Zheng was extremely irritable.
He agreed that when Ye Yun came home for confinement, she wanted to quell the rumors in the village. He also thought that according to custom, they should hold a banquet in their hometown. They did not come back to ask people to cause trouble for him. Li Xiuying made such a fuss in front of his house, wasn't it? Did it make things worse?
"Zhengzi, anyone can go out, but you can't." Qin Xiang'e pulled him and said earnestly.
Qin Zheng glanced down the slope.
This sight stunned him.
The woman who was struggling with someone at the bottom of the slope had her hair torn to a mess, her mouth was bleeding, her clothes were torn apart and covered with dirt and gravel. She was in a miserable state, without any trace of her former domineering splendor.
In my memory, this seems to be the first time Li Xiuying defended him against others.
It was also the first time I defended him.
Qin Zheng even had eyes that couldn't believe that Li Xiuying, who had always been harsh on him, actually defended him.
To be precise, there will be a day when he can be protected by Li Xiuying?
Moreover, because of defending him, Li Xiuying was beaten with bruises and swollen face, completely regardless of her image, as if the other person was not scolding him, but digging up Li Xiuying's ancestral grave.
It has to be said that Qin Zheng's mood changed slightly at this moment.
He is not a stone after all.
Even though she had broken off her relationship with Li Xiuying, when she saw Li Xiuying being beaten until her nose was bruised and swollen because of him, she would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Woof..."
Mei Qiu walked to Qin Zheng's side and shouted softly with his usual rough voice.
Qin Zheng came back to his senses.
Looking at Li Xiuying who was fighting with everyone at the bottom of the slope, he had a plan in mind. He patted the neck of the coal ball and raised his hand to make a gesture.
"Woof woof woof——"
As if he had received the order, Coal Ball jumped over the fence gate with his strong body, and rushed towards the two people fighting on the ground like a beast!
"ah!"
The dog's appearance immediately triggered a wave of panic.
The adults fled one after another, and the children also ran away in a hurry. Some women hugged the children and ran and screamed, mixed with the fierce and angry whines of the briquettes.
Li Xiuying also screamed when she saw the dog.
She was most afraid of Lao Qin's dog, and she was almost bitten before.
The woman who was fighting with her was even more frightened. She pushed Li Xiuying away with a scream and ran back to where she was peeing!
Li Xiuying was pushed and fell down. She tried to get up but couldn't. She saw briquettes rushing toward her——
He was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly.
"Coal briquettes!" At this moment, a call came from the slope.
thump!
Mei Qiu's body came to an abrupt stop and stopped one meter away from Li Xiuying. The brakes were too fast and her claws were grinding and making a loud sound.
Seeing Qin Zheng waving on the slope, it immediately wagged its tail and turned towards Qin Zheng.
The puppy jumped into Qin Zheng's arms, stood up and hugged Qin Zheng's body, wagging its tail excitedly, licking Qin Zheng's hand, and arching its head, sticking out its tongue and smiling at Qin Zheng, darkly The pupils are filled with the light of loyalty.
Qin Zheng patted its head and said with a smile, "What a good dog."
Coal Ball suddenly became more excited.
Then Qin Zheng pulled it off his body, turned around, and entered the yard without looking back.
Only Li Xiuying was left at the bottom of the slope.
Covered in dirt, with a bruised nose and swollen face, she fell to the ground alone and dazed, with the cold winter wind pouring into her body through the torn cotton-padded jacket.
She raised her head and looked up the slope.
All I saw was a tightly closed fence gate.
Her son, who didn't say a single unnecessary word to her, was probably still complaining about why she had to fight in front of his house.
After a long while, Li Xiuying got up.
She was limping because of the fight. When she was about to go back to Lao Guo's house, she suddenly remembered, where were her eggs and brown sugar?
She immediately became energetic and started looking around at the bottom of the slope.
But, it can’t be found!
Li Xiuying collapsed.
In the cold wind, she stamped her feet angrily and shouted angrily: "Damn it! What son of a bitch took away my eggs and brown sugar!"
…
In the evening, Ye Yun drank the egg tea that Qin Zheng had just cooked for her, and felt that the eggs were different from those she usually eats.
"Qin Zheng, where did this egg come from?"
"A gift from the folks."
Qin Zheng answered quickly.
Ye Yun raised her eyebrows, "Don't fool me. These are wild eggs. The color of the yolk alone looks different. Wild eggs are hard to find in this winter. Who would give us such a precious thing?"
Qin Zheng chuckled, touched the back of his head and said, "Daughter-in-law, you have seen through it again."
Ye Yun put down the bowl and said, "Be honest."
"..."
Qin Zheng didn't say anything, he just held his daughter with a mysterious smile on his face.
Ye Yun had a bad premonition in her heart and opened her mouth in surprise: "Isn't that right, Qin Zheng? Did you get her eggs?"
"No."
Qin Zheng retorted, with a look of uneasiness on his face, and murmured: "This is what someone else sent to our house."
"What?"
"My aunt and I were eating out just now. A person came to the door. He put down his things and ran away. When I went over, I saw it was a basket. It was the basket she had delivered during the day."
"Then you took it back?"
"Yeah." Qin Zheng nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong at all, and sneered lightly: "Don't give us the things you gave us in vain."
Ye Yun was speechless.
"Aren't you afraid that she sent it to you? If you accept it, what will you do if she relies on you?"
"impossible."
Qin Zheng said firmly.
"Yo yo yo."
Ye Yun chuckled, curled her lips, and looked at him.
Qin Zheng was amused by her expression. He held his daughter with one hand and put his arm around her shoulders, coaxing softly: "The person who brought the things was a man. Unlike her, he probably didn't dare to touch her and was too embarrassed to return it. Li Xiuying, she sent it to us secretly; besides, she can’t find her own things during the day, so what else can we expect her to do?”
Ye Yun: "..."
It makes perfect sense.
"Okay, don't think too much, just eat what's given to you. If she hadn't been a demon, she should have given you these things." Qin Zheng patted her shoulder, speaking softly.
All right.
Qin Zheng was right to think so. Ye Yun no longer hesitated, picked up the egg tea and drank it all in one gulp.
…
It was almost the day of the junior high school reception, but Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia still didn't show up...
