Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Commander Qin, do you know how shaless you are being?
Qin Jian found it inconvenient to make a clear stance on this issue; what mattered was An Hao’s opinion.
For him, whether his foster father attended or not wouldn’t cause any inconvenience to the An Family’s banquet. He always knew how to behave properly.
The crux of the matter was whether An Hao could accept it.
“Please invite him,” An Hao agreed readily this ti, “Uncle Qin is a decent person! He handles things with proper asure. Dad, since we’re inviting him, you should go personally. It’ll show our respect for Uncle Qin.”
“Okay. I knew my daughter was insightful,” An Shuchao said.
An Shuchao personally went to the Qin Family.
Qin Jian gratefully said to An Hao, “Thank you!”
An Hao glanced at Qin Jian and chided, “What are you thanking for? Do we, as husband and wife, need to say ‘thank you’? Uncle Qin is different from others! I bear his kindness in mind.”
“My wife may be young, but she is diligent in observing proprieties! Co on, give a kiss.” Qin Jian turned his back to the others, trying to sneak a kiss from his wife while no one was looking.
An Hao gave him a reproachful look, “Commander Qin, please mind your behavior! Don’t disgrace soldiers in public!”
“How am I disgracing anyone? I’m kissing my own wife, not soone else’s!” Qin Jian shalessly retorted.
“Hey! Commander Qin, your soldiers know you’re this shaless?” An Hao said blushing, “You need to understand, my point is about doing it in public.”
Watching his anxious wife’s shy and delicate deanor, Qin Jian decided not to tease her any further, “Alright then. I’ll save the reward for tonight.”
…
Qin Family.
Qin Ru Hai sat on a small stool in the courtyard, organizing wicker vines. He had just cut many painful vines from the mountain that morning, which could be processed for basket weaving.
Liu Junping had bought nearly half a basket of eggs from the grocery store, and after coming back, she placed the basket in the kitchen. While washing her hands, she said sourly, “The An Family has really hit the jackpot. Their vegetable business flopped a few days ago, but it’s picked up again these past few days! Look at them splurging! Having earned so money, they even hired a cook to prepare als at ho. Is it just for a birthday? They even set up three tables! They really think they’re soone important.”
“What’s wrong? You’re displeased again? We used to get along with the An Family just fine, and we had good days. The An Family gave us vegetables all year round. And you? You always stir up trouble for no reason. Happy now?” Qin Ru Hai felt that the current state of affairs between the Qin Family and the An Family could all be blad on his wife, Li Junping.
“That’s enough from you! Your voice grates on my ears!”
“Who asked you to listen?”
Li Junping, angered, snatched a towel and fiercely wiped her hands, “Just go on and aggravate ! If I die from anger, you can find a new wife.”
“Did I aggravate you?” Qin Ru Hai lifted up his vest to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then picked up the teapot beside him and took several loud gulps of cool tea, “You’re just jealous of how well-off they are, aren’t you? Your heart’s as small as the eye of a needle! A single sesa seed could clog you up completely.”
“Nonsense!” Li Junping, who was about to put on an apron to begin kneading dough, threw the apron aside fiercely after hearing Qin Ru Hai’s words, “It wouldn’t be strange if I felt uncomfortable! Where did the An Family get that money? Wasn’t it from selling the Qin Family’s heirloom?”
