Chapter 413 Domestic Violence
Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new. For the Qin family, there is nothing special about this year. The only sad thing is that the Ministry of Officials approved Qin He’s request for release. Once the first month is over, he will be released to Yuncheng. He will not leave.
Unexpectedly, I won't be back for three years.
Fortunately, everyone was well prepared. After a few sad days, they helped the couple pack everything they needed and filled the utility room with three rooms, which was not very spacious.
Seeing that the things were about to be piled up in the main room, Qin He was moved at the same time, but refused to accept any more because of the long distance and inconvenience of carrying. In the end, the second room of the big house forcefully stuffed him with a hundred taels of silver.
Zhao Cao'er, who was bleeding heavily because of this, felt very distressed. For several days in a row, he secretly counted the thousand taels of silver that Dabao had given him before. He even thought about driving Qin Chuan to work in the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and giving him the money.
The fifty taels of silver that went out were earned back.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Xiaoxiao prepared two gifts and went to Le'an with Sanbao Qin Shumo to pay New Year's greetings to the Meng family and Qian family respectively.
Since their generation has grown up, New Year greetings have fallen on them. According to the words of the adults, sooner or later, the younger generation will have to stand up and move around more to deepen their relationship. In case the older generation leaves, the younger generation will
I also lost contact with him.
Yesterday, Zhou Baoer and Meng Xiuran's eldest son Meng Wenqing came to Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings. Today it was Qin Xiaoxiao's turn to pay homage to Meng's house. It happened that Qian Cai also came to Qin's house to visit his three wives and uncles on the third day of the lunar new year, so they might as well go back to pay homage together to avoid the big trouble.
It took two long trips.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao both knew how to drive a carriage, and the siblings took turns driving for an hour before arriving at Qian's house. They handed the carriage to the servants of Qian's house, and the three of them arrived at the main hall under Qian Cai's warm reception.
"Brother-in-law, where is Sister Yin Yin?" After paying New Year greetings to the Qian family and accepting the New Year's money, Qin Xiaoxiao never saw Zhao Yin Yin's shadow, so she asked about Qian Cai.
"Cousin, your cousin's body has become much weaker since she gave birth to Yuanbao. She has been busy entertaining relatives and is tired. I asked her to stay in bed for a few days. She is still sleeping in the house." Qian.
After explaining it, there was a bit of worry on his face that would not go away.
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned, stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going to see my cousin."
Qian Cai was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Okay, I'll have someone take you there. Your cousin saw you coming, and maybe she went away as soon as she felt better."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and told Sanbao to watch out for Qin Shumo and not let him cause trouble. Then he followed the maid assigned by Qiancai to the small courtyard where the couple lived.
The room was quiet with the door closed. She couldn't help but suspect that Zhao Yinyin was seriously ill and couldn't even get up, so she reached out and opened the door without hesitation, and saw the person lying on the bed at a glance.
Zhao Yinyin, who was not sleeping peacefully, heard the noise and opened his eyes in a daze. When he found his cousin standing in front of the bed, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Smile, smile!"
As she spoke, she feebly lifted the heavy quilt and struggled to sit up.
"Cousin, if you feel uncomfortable, just lie down!" Qin Xiaoxiao quickly pressed her shoulders and pulled the quilt to cover her.
"My bones are almost weak, I'd better sit up and talk to you." Zhao Yinyin smiled weakly and insisted on starting with Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he had no choice but to help the person up.
The maid on the side quickly took a thick cotton coat and put it on Zhao Yinyin, and put a pillow behind her waist to make it more comfortable to lean against the bed.
Zhao Yinyin found a way to send the maid away, patted the edge of the bed and said to Qin Xiaoxiao: "It's cold on the stool, so sit on the bed."
Qin Xiaoxiao did not refuse, and sat beside the bed, asking worriedly: "Sister Yin Yin, what's wrong with you? Have you seen a doctor to take medicine?"
Zhao Yinyin shook his head, with a hint of paleness on his dry lips: "Don't worry, I'm just tired. The doctor prescribed a tonic, and I'm drinking it."
Qin Xiaoxiao felt extremely distressed and said dissatisfiedly: "The Qian family has many relatives and you can't entertain them. Why won't your brother-in-law help you? You are so tired!"
The second elder of the Qian family is rosy and full of energy, and does not look tired at all. Is it possible that the Qian family values their cousin on the surface, but secretly tries to tease her in other ways?
"Xiaoxiao, it's not what you think." Zhao Yinyin looked at his cousin's face and knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "It's not all relatives who are paying New Year's greetings. They are so tired. You, you will know later..."
At this point, a blush appeared on her pale face, and she was embarrassed to continue talking.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out. Seeing that she was so shy, he guessed that the reason was probably because her family couldn't listen. He couldn't help but muttered: "No matter what the reason is, the Qian family shouldn't tire you out like this."
Zhao Yinyin was moved in her heart and stretched out her hand to hold hers: "Xiaoxiao, it has been ten years since a daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law. When a woman gets married, she has to take on the important task of being a housewife, but she is not as comfortable as she was when she was a girl. I'm pretty good like this.
My parents-in-law are kind and sensible, and your brother-in-law... your brother-in-law is also very kind."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't notice what she said, and stared at her wrist closely: "Sister Yin Yin, what's going on? Did your brother-in-law hit you?"
