Chapter 8: Going to the Qinghe River Again

"Are you sure?" Qin Zijin looked at Bai Lu and asked for confirmation.

Bai Lu sighed and replied, "If you go and tell us, they won't agree to split up the family, but at least they won't deny us food."

Qin Zijin looked confused, but Mrs. Bai Lu didn't seem to want to say more to her, so Qin Zijin could only nod in agreement and went out.

Just when he saw old man Bai walking out with a sullen face, Qin Zijin quickly chased him to the door and said, "Mother-in-law asked me to bring you a message."

Old Man Bai frowned and turned around. When he saw it was Qin Zijin, he actually managed to squeeze out a smile, "It's Zijin, what are you talking about?"

Qin Zijin didn't have a good impression of the old man, so he quickly repeated Bai Lu's words.

As soon as Qin Zijin finished speaking, the smile on Old Man Bai's face could no longer be maintained, and even his voice became louder, "I haven't died yet, so I want to separate the family. I want to separate the family until I die."

Say it again."

Several women were passing by at the intersection in front of them. Bai Laitou's roar instantly attracted their attention, and they stopped and looked this way.

Qin Zijin caught sight of it from the corner of his eye, and immediately changed his face, looking like he was very frightened, and said tremblingly with red eyes, "Mother-in-law said, if we don't separate, we will have no food to eat, and we will starve to death, and the kitchen door will not close

Locked."

I saw You Lian's image drawn by Qin Zijin, and the few women passing by had already started pointing.

The older woman didn't seem to be afraid of offending old man Bai. She deliberately raised her voice and said to her companions, "This Bai family is really wicked. The new daughter-in-law entered the Bai family regardless of previous suspicions. They didn't even have food."

If you don’t give me food, it’s really a sin.”

Old Man Bai had a stern look on his face, and after listening to the arguments and accusations from several women, his ability to blame others was first-rate, "You damn old woman is acting like a monster again, don't worry, I will make the decision for you, go back and take care of her now."

After saying that, he walked back with a sullen face and his hands behind his back.

Qin Zijin followed Old Man Bai cautiously and said carefully, "No, no need, you can just give us a bite to eat."

After entering the courtyard, Old Man Bai shouted in the direction of the main house in an immature manner, "Old lady, send some food to the boss's wife."

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Why didn't she eat to death? I can't even eat enough. Where is the food for her? Let her go back to her parents' house to eat."

Old Man Bai walked towards the main room with a gloomy face. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember Qin Zijin behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Wait."

Qin Zijin stood obediently in the yard and waited. After a while, Old Mrs. Bai's wails came from the main room. It seemed that Old Man Bai had taken action again.

Qin Zijin frowned slightly when he heard this. Although the old lady Bai really deserved a beating, it was even more despising for the old man Bai who was violent at the slightest disagreement.

When the main room fell silent, Old Man Bai came out and shouted towards the side room, "Second daughter-in-law."

Bai Wu quickly came out of the house. Seeing Old Man Bai's gloomy face, she cautiously smiled and said, "Dad, did you call me?"

Old man Bai handed the key to Bai Wu and said, "Go to the kitchen and get some food for the boss's wife and Zijin."

Mrs. Bai Wu must have known how powerful Old Man Bai was. Even though she was reluctant, she obediently accepted the key and went to the kitchen.

Qin Zijin hurriedly followed and said, "I'll go help."

Old Man Bai didn't speak again and walked out of the yard again with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Qin Zijin follow, Mrs. Bai Wu did not look down on Qin Zijin. Instead, she smiled and greeted Qin Zijin, "Girl Zijin, are you hungry? Second Aunt will prepare something delicious for you."

Qin Zijin lowered his head and replied, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

When they arrived at the door of the kitchen, Mrs. Bai Wu lowered her voice and whispered while opening the door, "Second Aunt knows that you have been wronged, but your grandma's temper... Second Aunt did not dare to say more, hey, you are still too much."

Be patient."

Qin Zijin raised his head and glanced at Wu Shi Bai, who had an affected face, hummed softly, and said nothing more.

What Bai Wu calls delicious is two bowls of corn porridge in clear bowls and two dark mixed-noodle steamed buns, which look unappetizing.

When handing it to Qin Zijin, Bai Wu said in a pretentious manner, "Hey, in order to treat Brother Yun, the family is increasingly unable to open the door."

Mrs. Bai Wu was still waiting expectantly for Qin Zijin's response, but Qin Zijin took the tray and just said "Thank you, Second Aunt" before turning and leaving.

Seeing Qin Zijin's retreating figure, Mrs. Bai Wu changed her previous attitude, spat and cursed in a low voice, "Why do you want me to serve you?"

After finishing the mixed-noodle buns with porridge, Qin Zijin helped the sleepy Bai Lu to lie down on the bed and said, "You rest first, I'll go out for a while."

Bai Lu's eyes were slightly closed and she didn't speak. After Qin Zijin left, she opened her eyes and sighed softly.

When we left Bai's house, it was almost evening. At this time, smoke was rising from the roofs of every house, but there were no people outside.

Qin Zijin went straight to the Qinghe River. Seeing that there was no one around, he plunged directly into the Qinghe River.

"Come here, help, someone jumped into the river."

Qin Zijin emerged from the Qinghe River and saw a familiar figure shouting on the bank. He frowned and scolded, "Shut up."

After scolding him, Qin Zijin swam from the middle of the Qinghe River to the shore, climbed ashore, and shivered with cold.

After wiping the water on his face, Qin Zijin looked at Qin Baoli, who was still dumbfounded and couldn't come to her senses. He stretched out his hand and waved in front of her, "I've come to my senses."

Qin Baoli finally came to her senses, pointed at Qin Zijin and stammered, "You actually jumped into the river."

Qin Zijin shook the water off his body and said, "What kind of river are you jumping into? I've lost something. Let's go into the water to look for it."

She actually just wanted to go into the water and see if there was any mystery under the Qinghe River. Otherwise, why would she suddenly wake up in the Qinghe River and become the Qin Zijin she is now.

It's a pity that the result disappointed her. She didn't find any mystery. She sank in the water. Apart from feeling suffocated, she couldn't go back to her original world.

Two families of villagers living near Qinghe heard Qin Baoli's cry and rushed over. Seeing the two people on the bank, they asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Qin Zijin glanced at Qin Baoli coolly and had no intention of speaking. Qin Baoli had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My sister went into the water to look for something. I was just worried. I'm sorry for causing you to make a trip."

Everyone looked at Qin Zijin, who was covered in water, with confusion and disbelief.

Qin Zijin had no choice but to speak on his own, "I fell into the water this morning and dropped my jewelry in the Qinghe River, so I wanted to look for it. Please worry about it."

The older man scolded, "You can't just go into the river, but you can't lose your life for a piece of jewelry."

The old woman advised, "Hurry back and change your clothes. It's very cold, but don't catch the cold."

The two sisters agreed and quickly left the Qinghe River.

When there was no one around, Qin Baoli said, "Did you really go into the water to look for something? Didn't you go to seek death?"
