Chapter 1109: Very Lucky, I Found It!
"Qin Xi, come back here!" Mrs. Qin shouted at her daughter’s back, but unfortunately, Qin Xi kept walking, and with a "bang," shut the door.Grandma Qin, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out and saw her daughter-in-law alone in the living room, asking, "What are you arguing about with Xi Xi?"
Mrs. Qin complained, "That kid is too disobedient. I just said a couple of things, and she got upset. No matter what, I’m still her mom. Is this how you’re supposed to talk to your own mother?"
Grandma Qin looked at her daughter-in-law somewhat reproachfully, "The child has grown up, you shouldn’t always be controlling her; she has her own ideas."
"What ideas could she have? She’s already this old and still doesn’t have a partner." Mrs. Qin became even more frustrated as she talked about this. "Everyone else already has grandchildren, but not me."
Grandma Qin looked at her daughter-in-law’s angry face and said, "Back then, all my neighbors had grandchildren and you gave birth to a daughter. Did I ever say a negative word?"
Mrs. Qin was put in her place, indeed there wasn’t. Her mother-in-law treated her exceptionally well.
This is a small county where it’s inevitable for people to favor boys over girls. When she gave birth to a daughter, the neighbors were ready to make fun of them, but they ultimately failed due to her mother-in-law’s generosity.
Grandma Qin said earnestly, "Things that are destined to happen will happen. Getting married isn’t something to take lightly; she has to find someone she truly likes."
Mrs. Qin replied hesitantly, "Mom, you’re right."
"Come help out, let’s make something delicious for Xi Xi tonight. She’s leaving in a few days, and once she leaves, she won’t be back for at least half a year. Don’t fight with her so much, otherwise, she might be too afraid to come home again."
"She wouldn’t dare!" Mrs. Qin raised her voice, but deep down, she was uncertain. That girl has been rebellious since she was young and could do anything.
She was silent for a moment and said, "I know."
Once Qin Xi left the house, the suffocating frustration in her heart dissipated.
She actually knew that her mom was worried about her, but those words felt like knives stabbing into her heart.
She’s not afraid of being misunderstood by outsiders; she’s afraid that her own family wouldn’t understand her.
The South isn’t as cold as the North, but winter doesn’t get much warmer, especially since it rained earlier in the morning. Not only is the ground wet, but the air is filled with a damp chill.
Qin Xi was only wearing a woolen coat, and she shivered from the cold.
There happened to be a milk tea shop by the roadside, and she was about to head over when suddenly her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw it was Ning Ze calling. Today he had already called her many times.
The frustration she just endured from Mrs. Qin suddenly erupted, and she answered the phone, "Are you so idle? Calling me every moment, aren’t you annoying? I’ve told you, break up, break up. Don’t you understand what it means?"
The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, just when Qin Xi was about to hang up, his weak voice came through, "Xi Xi, what’s the matter? Who bullied you?"
"None of your business," Qin Xi replied irritably.
"Of course, it’s my business. Whoever dares to bully you, I’ll bully them back." He said earnestly.
Qin Xi felt like she’d hit a cotton ball with her fist and knew she was wrongfully venting her anger on him. She said, "Alright, stop it, go back to Upper City. I’m definitely not telling you my home address."
"Then I’ll find it myself. I’ll definitely find it." He said, sounding serious.
When Qin Xi heard this, she wanted to lash out again, but then she heard him say, "Very lucky, I found it."
Qin Xi instinctively felt something was off, glanced forward, then suddenly turned her head, only to see a silhouette appearing in her line of vision.
