"Chunlian, you've arrived just in ti, right as I could use a hand..."
Seeing Tang Feifei and the other two girls had arrived, Qin Qing was so happy that she actually forgot about cooking. Now that Wang Chunlian reminded her, she couldn't help but smack her forehead.
Originally, if it were just Qin Fang and Tang Feifei returning, she would've been prepared. But now, clearly many more people were present, including Tao Renjun and his wife Wang Chunlian, who would naturally stay for the al. That ant portions for several people, and she would be a bit overwheld by herself...
"Aunt Qing, let help too..."
Xiao Muxue imdiately stood up and said. As for Tang Feifei and Wen Yan, they wanted to help too, but both were pulling long faces—they had grown up in the city and had hardly done any household chores. Tang Feifei had only ever helped Qin Fang wash dishes for a month...
Scrubbing pots and washing dishes, that she could manage, but cooking and stir-frying... she truly couldn't compare to Xiao Muxue.
"Oh, Aunt Qin, this must be Little Fang's girlfriend, right? She's so pretty..."
Just as Qin Qing was about to speak, the quick-mouthed Wang Chunlian promptly delivered a complint.
However, this flattery made many people grimace awkwardly. Thankfully, Xiao Muxue reacted quickly and imdiately said with a smile, "Big Sister, you've got it wrong, this lady is Qin Fang's girlfriend. I am her college classmate..."
Actually, all three girls were Qin Fang's girlfriends, which made Qin Qing very happy, but of course, one had to be mindful of the conventional influences. Xiao Muxue was quite sensible and quickly put forth the rightful lady of the house.
"Ah... I'm sorry, so sorry..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunlian felt like slapping herself. She had bungled the flattery, and that was just inviting trouble, wasn't it?
"It's no problem, Big Sister..."
Tang Feifei seed rather unfazed, the radiant smile still on her face, apparently not bothered at all.
Such a response certainly caught Qin Qing's eye. She had been sowhat worried, but now it seed her worries were unnecessary...
As the instigator, Qin Fang couldn't escape though; he glared at her fiercely, but of course, his gaze also carried a hint of admiration. It was unclear whether he was praising his "harem" for their excellent training.
Qin Fang had returned to his village in glory!
Qin Fang had gotten himself an Audi!
Qin Fang had made a fortune...
Villages inevitably have their share of gossipy busybodies, and such pieces of news quickly spread through the small village. With evening approaching, most of the villagers who had gone out to work were also returning ho, and they too had caught wind of the latest update.
Everyone is curious by nature, and these people were no exception.
Everyone knew that Qin Fang had only been at college for half a year. Even if he managed to work while studying, it was improbable that he could earn so much money in just six months...
Before long, quite a few people had gathered at Qin Fang's doorstep.
So were sizing up Qin Fang's Audi, while others squeezed into the courtyard. Naturally, so neighbors who were on good terms with the Qin Family ca over to visit.
Tang Feifei and Wen Yan, who had never faced such a situation, appeared very constrained and nervous. In contrast, Xiao Muxue was more composed, thankful that most of these people ant no harm—it was re curiosity driving them.
"Big Pillar Brother, Third Uncle, Uncle Four... have you eaten yet? Co sit down and have a few drinks..."
As the only male in the family, Qin Fang naturally had to step up, not to ntion that these people had all co because of him. He deliberately called over those who had good relations with the Qin Family.
After a bit of polite refusal, the n were firmly persuaded by Qin Fang to sit down. Qin Fang took the initiative to pour drinks for them, and soon, they were all drinking.
Most of the won had finished eating by now. Qin Qing greeted everyone before pulling Tang Feifei and the others into the room, pondering over the sleeping arrangents for the night... this was indeed a problem for her.
The Qin house was very small, with only two rooms — one for Qin Qing and one for Qin Fang. There were also only two beds... After all, coming here as a widow and orphan, they had no relatives, so naturally, no one would co looking for them.
But there were two beds and five people — four won and Qin Fang... This made things difficult. They couldn't possibly have Qin Fang sleep in one room and leave the four won in another, could they?
The three girls were all Qin Fang's girlfriends. As soone who had been through life, just by observing the eyes and expressions of the three girls, Qin Qing could tell that Tang Feifei and Wen Yan had tightly knit brows, clearly indicating their bodies were untouched... Whereas Xiao Muxue's brows were relaxed, and there were so changes to her body, clearly showing she had been deflowered.
From this perspective, regardless of whether it was Qin Fang who had deflowered Xiao Muxue or not, letting her sleep with Qin Fang for the night wouldn't be a big problem...
However, Tang Feifei was Qin Fang's most legitimate girlfriend, and it would be the most appropriate arrangent for him to sleep with her.
Qin Qing indeed found the situation quite troubleso. She never expected having many daughters-in-law would be such a hassle.
"Aunt Qing, I'll sleep with you tonight. Let Muxue and Wen Yan share a room... Let Qin Fang make do with sleeping in the car..." Tang Feifei, realizing Qin Qing's predicant, imdiately offered this solution.
Although she and Qin Fang were already deep in love, in reality, the two of them had always been quite proper. Up to now, their intimacy had been limited to just a few kisses, and as for other more intimate physical contacts... Qin Fang had indeed thought about making a move, but he had been too afraid of scaring Tang Feifei, and that's why he had never touched her.
This ti, accompanying Qin Fang on a trip ho to et the parents, Tang Feifei had sowhat made up her mind. She knew about Qin Fang's relationship with Xiao Muxue and even felt a bit envious. But when it ca down to it, she got scared and ended up dragging Xiao Muxue and Wen Yan along with her...
The resulting dilemma was sothing she truly hadn't expected... She couldn't squeeze into bed with Qin Fang, so the only option left was to have him sleep in the car...
"That's fine... sounds good!"
Qin Qing nodded in agreent. This was not a bad solution, although it ant her son would suffer a bit. But she found herself liking Tang Feifei even more, as this daughter-in-law clearly knew her limits and didn't give her mother-in-law any trouble.
"Feifei, Muxue, Little Yan, don't mind the old n outside. Let Little Fang take care of them. Co in with ..." By now, Qin Fang and the others outside were already drinking. Knowing the situation when rural n drink, Qin Qing guessed it wouldn't end anyti soon. She imdiately led the three won into the room with an air of secrecy, as if fearing others would find out.
In the courtyard.
The diners had changed shifts, the won had left, and all the remaining were the big n... Wang Chunlian and Tao Renjun also had dinner at the Qin Family's ho. The n were now drinking and chatting. Of course, Tao Renjun stayed, while Wang Chunlian went back to the kitchen to make so more side dishes to accompany the drinks.
"Little Fang, tell your Uncle the truth about where your money cos from..."
They were drinking Flying Maotai, which cost over a thousand yuan per bottle, making all the old n's eyes bulge. The cigarettes were naturally premium brands like Da Zhonghua and Panda, also pricey.
After three rounds of drinking, conversation flowed more freely. An elderly farr in his sixties broke the silence. In his family, he was the fourth eldest; Qin Fang called him Uncle Four, even though the Qin and Tao families weren't related.
This old man's wife had died in childbirth years ago, and his child had also tragically passed away. He had lived a lonely life since. When Qin Qing first ca here with Qin Fang, he had treated them as his own daughter and grandson, even taking the money he made from raising and selling dozens of ducks every year to buy Qin Fang clothes and school supplies...
These acts showed how much he considered Qin Fang as his own blood, which was why he was so worried when Qin Fang started driving an Audi, drank fine liquor, and smoked premium cigarettes only halfway through college — he feared the money ca from a questionable source...(To be continued.
