Chapter 324: She Got Rounder
Granny Lu’s beloved granddaughter, sternly nourished with soups and meats every day, insisted on replenishing the blood she had lost, which also benefitted Jian Zhiqing as he enjoyed good food and drinks at home, having meat and eggs every day, even Qin Xiangyang was replenished until his face was oily.
"Brother, you can’t eat any more," Qin Xiangnuan was scared just seeing Qin Xiangyang’s belly, fearing he could eat no more, otherwise even a general’s belly would emerge.
He was a soldier, and when he returned, he feared the drill sergeant would scold him to death.
"I think so too," Qin Xiangyang touched his belly, "Well, it’s alright, I exercise daily with Brother Jian, so we won’t get fat. But as for you," Qin Xiangyang pinched his sister’s cheek, "you’ve become much plumper recently."
Qin Xiangnuan felt like crying; did he really think she wanted to become round?
Eating every day without exercise, it would be strange if she didn’t get round.
As for the matters of the Qin Family, she didn’t get involved. After all, according to Aunt Hua, Qin Guohua dared not even go outside now mainly because the police had arrived. Everyone in the village was watching keenly; the car parked right at the Qin’s door and several policemen in uniforms stepped out claiming to come for an investigation.
Later, even though the incident was dismissed inconclusively, Qin Guohua insisted it was an accident and complained about his daughter’s disobedience. Naturally, Qin Xiangnuan couldn’t rely on him. Though he wasn’t arrested, secretly, the villagers whispered that he was trying to seize someone else’s property, now no one in the village wanted to deal with him; even during land distribution, they dreaded being grouped with him, fearing another accidental death caused by Qin Guohua.
Everyone in the village always knew, Qin Guohua was not a good person, treating his own children so harshly, let alone strangers. While he hadn’t done anything openly egregious, his reputation was ruined. Gradually, the villagers didn’t want any contact with him, even his previously close friends had cut ties, essentially blackening Qin Guohua’s name in Dadao Village. Even the girls from the school that used to be friends with Qin Xiangmei now kept their distance, calling Qin Guohua no good, fearing he might chop somebody with a knife if displeased.
