"What did you say? He’s following you?" Qin Ye asked, his eyes filled with hostility.
Rong Yan nodded, "Yes, I’m not mistaken, and, what’s more, he has a bike. I reckon he must have some money on him."
Qin Ye sneered, "Of course he has money because I know he’s joined the transport team."
What kind of place was the transport team? It was definitely a great place, the most lucrative one.
Let me put it this way! When they could go out of town, they could do some smuggling on the side, then resell the goods. The profit margin was needless to say.
Of course, these kinds of dealings were only done covertly. If they were brought to light or if the factory leaders found out, it would certainly be no good.
Rong Yan didn’t care about that, "He probably just saw me and wants to catch something on me."
"From now on, avoid him when you see him. That guy seems..." Qin Ye chose his words carefully, "he’s not like what he appears to be on the surface."
Rong Yan, upon hearing the word "avoid," immediately felt displeased.
In this world, there were only people who avoided her, not the other way around.
"Hmpf, he’s not qualified to make me avoid him."
The words were bold, as was the expression on her face.
Looking at her , for some reason... Qin Ye’s heart beat even faster.
He really liked this domineering attitude of his wife.
"...You’re right, he’s not qualified to make us avoid him."
"As long as he doesn’t mess with me, it’s fine. But if he does, that will be the beginning of his nightmare. Anyway, let’s stop talking about him. You should rest up a bit now... so you won’t be too tired from working this afternoon."
Hearing these caring words, Qin Ye’s expression became even gentler.
Before he could finish, Rong Yan cut him off, "What I mean is there’s no need for us to work so hard; we’re not short of money right now, so don’t feel that kind of life pressure."
Getting up so early to work and then working so late.
The most important thing was that the tasks assigned to him always seemed to be in the harder, more difficult spots, more exhausting than anyone else’s.
There was no need, truly unnecessary.
"Okay." Happiness brimmed in Qin Ye’s heart at that moment.
He had no second opinion.
"Then you lie down for a bit; I’m going out to give my dad acupuncture." He had gone to town in the morning and hadn’t had time when he came back.
"Okay." Qin Ye, still with a single word, watched her leave... his gaze lingered with reluctance.
Of course, he wished his wife could stay with him.
Only after the door closed did he withdraw his gaze.
His eyes showed a hint of contemplation. It seemed he would have to find another job; his family couldn’t keep living without stability.
At this time, he thought of Tie Zhu and decided to make a trip to town tomorrow.
Because he was considering asking for leave tomorrow.
He decided not to rest anymore, anyway, since his wife wasn’t in the room.
Stepping out, fortunately, his mother-in-law was in the kitchen, so he left directly.
Rong Yan had just finished treating her father when she came out and saw her mother.
Madam Rong was waiting for her daughter, so as soon as she saw her come out, she immediately asked, "Yanyan, is the market day tomorrow? I’d like to go and see; is that okay?"
Rong Yan was somewhat surprised, "Mom, you’re amazing! You actually know when the market day is!"
If her mother hadn’t mentioned it, she honestly wouldn’t have remembered.
"That’s nothing. I ran into the team leader’s wife and talked a bit, that’s how I found out." Madam Rong looked at her daughter, "Actually, it’s not that I want to buy anything, I just want to take a look around."
"Of course, that’s fine, but tomorrow, you’ll have to take the village bull cart, as many people go together on market day."
Madam Rong nodded, "That’s what I was thinking, going with them."
Rong Yan thought her mother was a social butterfly; she hadn’t seen her go out at all, and yet she had made so many acquaintances in the village.
From the sound of it, it seemed they had even made a pact.
"Then you go, if you don’t want to come back with them at noon, then just ride my bike home."
She would still need to take the twins to school tomorrow morning, but coming back, the bike would be free.
"We’ll see about that tomorrow." Madam Rong was not particularly fond of riding bikes; she found sitting in the bull cart more comfortable.
Rong Yan nodded and spoke no further.
Madam Rong saw her and asked, "Where are you going?"
Rong Yan knew what her mother was worried about, "Don’t worry, I’m not going up the mountain today."
Upon hearing this, Madam Rong waved her hand, "As long as you’re not going up the mountain, that’s fine."
As long as she didn’t go up the mountain, her mother didn’t care what she did.
When Rong Yan returned to the room, unsurprisingly, Qin Ye was not there.
With his proactive character, she knew he wasn’t someone who could stay idle.
In the afternoon, Rong Yan wasn’t idle either; she was studying the little medicine pills.
Besides growing ginseng in the space, she also planted various herbs.
It was just that the varieties weren’t enough yet.
It was a pity the supermarket didn’t sell seeds for herbs... because they didn’t have this category to begin with, and that’s why they were not available.
She pondered going to the county next time to check, perhaps she could find some at a traditional Chinese medicine shop.
In the blink of an eye, it was four-thirty in the afternoon, and Qin Yu and Qin Mei got out of school.
"Second brother, will sister-in-law come to pick us up?" Qin Mei whispered.
"She probably will?" Qin Yu wasn’t sure, then he said, "But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t come; it’s not far, and we can walk. If you get tired, I’ll carry you."
Qin Mei immediately whispered, "I can walk; I don’t need you to carry me."
Qin Yu didn’t argue with her because he saw his sister-in-law.
"Little sister, no need for me to carry you; sister-in-law is here."
Following the direction of her second brother’s pointing, Qin Mei saw the person by the bike at the school gate, feeling... her sister-in-law was the most beautiful woman in the world, with a mysterious charm, so different and captivating.
"What are you dawdling for? Let’s go; we should hurry out." Qin Yu quickened his steps.
For no other reason than there were too many onlookers gazing at his sister-in-law.
Qin Mei had no choice but to hurry to keep up with his pace.
The two of them walked out one after the other.
"Didn’t you say not to come and pick us up? We can get back by ourselves."
Rong Yan pointed to his mouth, "If you’d stop smiling for a second, I might believe that."
Qin Mei giggled, for her second brother’s corners of his mouth had been turned up high.
"Alright, let’s go! Meizi, you get on first." Rong Yan got on the bike first, one foot on the ground.
Qin Mei promptly climbed on.
After making sure she was seated properly, Rong Yan slowly pedaled the bike away, just slow enough for Qin Yu to jump on the back seat.
Teacher Li, who walked out, happened to see this scene and couldn’t help feeling touched, thinking how good this sister-in-law was to the twins.
Rong Yan didn’t ask them how school was on the way home.
After all, it was a bit cold.
When they got home, the twins received warm attention from their grandmother.
"How was school today? Are you getting along well with your classmates? Has anyone bullied you? And how are the teachers?"
