Qiu Yinuo nodded, "I can't think of any other possibility except this."
"I'll ask my dad again when he wakes up."
When the two arrived at the hospital, they were warmly welcomed by the third child of the He family and Xiaojiu.
After going to see the doctor treating He Zhen and understanding his condition, He Ziqing was driven back by his third senior brother.
"We are here. If you want to see Master, you can come over and have a look when he wakes up tomorrow."
The two of them had been catching the train for a whole day and the bus for most of the day, and they were already exhausted.
Without any further excuses, He Ziqing took Qiu Yinuo back.
On the way back, Qiu Yinuo learned from Qingqing that when something happened to Uncle He, her father quickly married the fifth senior sister, and quickly sent Qingqing and Lao Qi and Lao Ba out respectively.
Only a few male disciples were left around. "My senior brother and second senior brother were originally engaged, but because of this the matter fell through. My dad felt very guilty. They didn't trust my dad, so they kept following him to live a hard life."
He Ziqing secretly felt sad, "I don't dare to ask my senior brother if they are married this time. Sister Yinuo, what are your dad's habits? Now he is addicted to picking up children. In just three years, he picked up six more Come back. How do you think he feeds fourteen or five people?"
In the past, she thought that she was great enough just because she raised Qiu Congwen.
Now compared with Qingqing's father, she is a bit unattractive.
"Sister Yinuo, my family's situation is too complicated. I can handle my family's affairs by myself. You can go home after you have rested."
"Resolving your dad's matter cannot be solved in a day or two." If he really offended some big shot, revenge would be far away.
"I know, I have so many senior brothers, and we can work together to find a solution." Seeing that Qiu Yinuo wanted to say something more, He Ziqing took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood at the moment, "Sister Yinuo, when I broke into If it’s a disaster, you just compromised for me once, and now I don’t want you to do that.”
"Go home. The twins are still waiting for you at home. Didn't you make an agreement with Jin Zi and Uncle Fang?"
Qiu Yinuo pursed her lips, "Aren't you going to go to college?"
"I..." He Ziqing obviously hesitated when she mentioned the university she finally got into.
"Qingqing, Luo Fei's family is well off. If you go to college and have a diploma, you won't be looked down upon by the Luo family. People have many choices in this life, so don't make the wrong choice just because of impulse."
Qiu Yinuo clasped He Ziqing's shoulders with both hands and said earnestly, "Qingqing, we have known each other for more than two years. I really treat you as my sister. Listen to me. It's time to report to school when school starts. Here, So many of us couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds before? As for your father..."
"We are not the ones who suffer. We are not in a hurry to get revenge. I will protect your home and you can go to college in a down-to-earth manner. The school is not far from home. It only takes two hours to get back."
"Wha, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is to listen to me. I am your sister. If you don't listen to me, I will know my identity clearly."

When the two of them got home, they were just in time for dinner.
Several fellow apprentices cooked and brought everything they could get from home.
Even so, there was very little oil and water on the table, and the best dish was probably the plate of scrambled eggs.
Not to mention Qiu Yinuo, even He Ziqing hadn't had such a shabby meal in a long time.
There was a throbbing pain in her heart, and she couldn't see where she was. It was expected that her life would be even more difficult.
Only the second senior brother greeted the two of them to the table, "Everyone else has finished eating, you two eat. Comrade Qiu, if your family is not well, please don't mind."
Qiu Yinuo looked at the few radishes outside the door and buried himself in the meal.
"Let them eat with us!"
When the little carrot heads heard this, they quickly shook their heads, "No, aunt, you can eat!"
Although He Ziqing was dissatisfied that her father often brought the children back, he was not hard-hearted after all. They couldn't just sit here and eat well, while the children were nibbling dry food in the corner!
I stood up and wanted to bring them over, but I found that the bowls of several children were full of brown rice porridge.
No, it can’t even be called porridge.
He Ziqing felt warm in his heart, and when he opened his mouth again, his voice was already hoarse, "Is this what you want to eat?"
Xiao Qi raised his head, "Sixth Senior Sister, let's be good and don't drive us away, okay?"
"Who said I'm going to drive you away?"
"Master said that Sixth Senior Sister is very fierce. We must behave well and try to make you like us so that you won't chase us away. Sixth Senior Sister, please, Xiao Qi can clean the yard and wash clothes by himself. I won’t cause any trouble to you.”
He Ziqing was furious, "Your master will ruin my reputation. Don't worry, I won't chase anyone."
Qiu Yinuo brought over the plate of scrambled eggs and broke off a little for each of the little radish heads. The children wanted to take back their bowls, but were afraid that such good eggs would fall to the ground.
They could only look at the third senior brother helplessly, only to see him nodding, and then the little carrot heads happily held the bowls and ate.
"Slow down a little."
In a short time, the child ate all the food.
Qiu Yinuo touched the youngest Shi Qi and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Auntie, I am five years old this year."
She's so skinny and small that she doesn't feel much heavier than twins.
Since becoming a mother, Qiu Yinuo has never wanted to see her child go hungry.
Qiu Yinuo was wondering how long the food in the space would last.
It seems that we really can't be lazy anymore, otherwise these children will be hungry.
Fortunately, the vegetables in her space ripen quickly, and they will probably grow new in one night.
After the third senior brother took care of the child, he was ready to go out in a hurry, "Third senior brother, where are you going?"
"The dock is short of people to carry big bags, and we are paid daily. We used to carry big bags there, but after Master's accident, we took turns to work for half a day, and scraped together the wages for two people. We could barely make ends meet. The expense of this big family.”
He Ziqing rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's go, I'll go take a look with you."
The third senior brother waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I can do it myself."
It's a pity that after carrying the big bag for so long, he still didn't have the strength as Sixth Junior Sister. She just pulled him casually and took him out of the house.
"Sister Yinuo, have a good rest and wait for me to come back to cook in the evening."
Qiu Yinuo knew that Qingqing was carrying the big bag with him. She never participated in this kind of physical work.
The other little carrot heads cleaned up the dishes in an orderly manner, and then took out their books to review their homework.
Hearing that they were confused, Qiu Yinuo waved to them, "Bring me the book, and I will teach you how to read?"
Children learn things very quickly and can read very well in a short time.
He was so engrossed in teaching that at some point a person stood in the corridor. Qiu Yinuo raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
"It's you!"
