Chapter 452 - 386: Don’t Talk Nonsense
The next day, he got up bright and early.
The wood he hadn’t split yesterday, now was the time for him to exert his strength.
Madam Rong always rose early, and as she came out to prepare food in the small kitchen, a glance revealed Qin Ye chopping wood.
Her eyes twitched involuntarily, "Qin, why are you up so early? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"
"Mother, I usually get up at this time when I’m at work, I’m used to it."
When he said this, it was Madam Rong’s turn to be puzzled, "Your job... even the earliest is around 7 a.m., right? There’s a need to go to work even earlier?"
She had heard that only teachers needed to be up that early, since they had to supervise the students who went to school for morning self-study.
But to go to the workplace this early?
"I usually get up early to exercise," Qin Ye explained.
On hearing this, Madam Rong heaved a sigh of relief.
She had thought his job required him to be up so early... that would be tiring, working all day long!
Knowing that stopping him from chopping the wood was probably futile, she let him be.
"Then chop just a little, that should be sufficient. I’ll start cooking."
Qin Ye responded, "Okay, Mother."
Before long, Rong Wenming also got up.
Seeing the person working, he had to admit, having one more person at home changed the atmosphere.
"Dad," Qin Ye called out on seeing him.
Rong Wenming nodded and then pointed to the pile of split wood, "That’s enough, don’t chop any more. I can do this job myself normally."
It wasn’t necessarily the son-in-law’s responsibility.
"Dad, it’s no trouble, I’ll just finish this bit."
Seeing him say this, Rong Wenming decided to leave him to it.
After all, he also needed to wash his face and brush his teeth; he was going to work soon.
Except for Rong Yan, who was still sleeping in, everyone in the family was up, including Qin Mei.
Rong Wenming was going to work, so after eating breakfast, he rode off on his bicycle.
Qin Mei, on the other hand, started to feed Xiaohei... since the family ate well, and Madam Rong especially doted on Xiaohei, the pet was fed quite lavishly.
Essentially, whatever they ate, Xiaohei would get a serving of the same.
So, animals too have their sense of spirit; it was particularly gentle with its two caretakers, never growling at them.
"Mother, I’m going out to buy some vegetables."
Madam Rong saw that Qin Ye had already been pushing the bicycle, so she swallowed back her words about it being unnecessary.
"... then be careful on the road, and there’s no need to buy too much, we have plenty at home."
"Okay, I know," Qin Ye responded and began to push the bicycle out.
At that moment, something occurred to Madam Rong and she suddenly asked a pointed question, "Qin, do you have money on you?"
Perhaps realizing the bluntness of her question, she quickly rephrased, "What I mean is, do you have enough cash and tickets? If not, I can give you some more."
"Mother, I have money, and I have tickets."
"... Alright then, go early and come back soon, to avoid the heat later."
Qin Ye grunted and then pushed his bicycle out.
At this time, Rong Yan finally walked out from the house.
Madam Rong, seeing her oversleeping, had already grown accustomed to it and did not want to express anything else.
"Breakfast is in the pot, go serve yourself."
Rong Yan nodded, "Got it."
She didn’t ask where Qin Ye had gone.
Because just now, when she was in the house, she had already heard what Qin Ye was going to do.
She headed straight to the kitchen.
At this moment, Qin Ye’s bicycle had reached the end of the alley, but suddenly someone called out to stop him.
"Mr. Qin, wait a moment... I have something I want to discuss with you..."
Sun Feng had thought that Qin Ye would stop his bicycle, but to her surprise, he didn’t even give her a glance and just rode away.
Sun Feng was a bit angry as she watched his retreating figure, and just then a voice sounded from behind her: "Why are you calling out to Mr. Qin? What do you want to do?"
Startled by the sudden voice coming from behind her, Sun Feng turned around to see her sister-in-law, which made her somewhat angry.
"Why are you sneaking up on me? Don’t you know that you could scare someone to death..."
Chang Ying scoffed at her words: "Only someone with a guilty conscience would be so easily startled. Now hurry up and say what you wanted to discuss with Mr. Qin."
Sun Feng now had the confidence when facing her sister-in-law.
After all, she had been kicked out before... yet she ended up living in this courtyard all the same.
No one was trying to drive her away anymore; she and Li Shi were legally married, husband and wife.
Faced with Chang Ying’s question, she retorted sharply, "What business is it of yours? You’re not my sister-in-law anymore and you have no control over me, just mind your own business."
After dropping that line, she turned to enter the courtyard.
But Chang Ying suddenly grabbed her arm, nearly toppling Sun Feng to the ground.
Standing firm, Sun Feng glared at Chang Ying, fuming, "Chang Ying, are you crazy? Or are you just addicted to bullying me? I have nothing to do with you now, so don’t you start acting all high-and-mighty like my sister-in-law."
She used to say she didn’t acknowledge her as a sister-in-law, and now she’s pestering her like this; she must be seriously ill in the head.
Trying hard to break free, but her arm was held tightly by Chang Ying, she couldn’t shake her off, and it even hurt her arm.
With a frosty face, Chang Ying warned, "I don’t care what you’ve got going on with the Li Family, but if you dare to trouble Rong Yan and her husband or the Rong Family again, I’ll throw your son into a well. Your son lost a girl last time; if I throw your son in there once, then we’ll be even."
Sun Feng was livid, "You wouldn’t dare."
Chang Ying sneered, "Do you think I wouldn’t? Don’t think I don’t know about your son bothering my daughter these past few days. You’ve raised your son all crooked, just wait and see for the sake of my daughter..."
Sun Feng, beside herself with anger, declared, "If you dare touch my son, I’ll fight you to the death."
Although selfish, the person she cherished the most was her son because she could no longer have children.
She would rely on her son to care for her in her old age.
No one could touch her son.
Chang Ying simply ignored her fury.
"Just remember to keep your mouth shut and stop causing trouble every day; otherwise, I’ll do as I say. Plus, last night, I saw what you fed Elder Mrs. Li... you certainly don’t want the Li Family and Li Shi to know about that, do you!"
Hearing her mention this, Sun Feng became utterly flustered... How had she seen that?
Then she protested with feigned calmness, "Wh-what about last night... Don’t talk nonsense."
