“Who’s husband is like you, I almost lost my soul.”
Facing Qin Si’s questioning gaze, Chen Yue Lian blushed, her face filled with a mixture of shyness and resentment:
“I don’t know how your appetite is so big?”
Qin Si smiled:
“You’re not happy?”
“I am happy, but… Oh well, you know.”
Chen Yue Lian rolled her eyes and pouted, saying:
“It’s better to find you a younger one.”
“Haha.”
Qin Si laughed and rubbed her delicate nose.
Chen Yue Lian pouted, hugging Qin Si’s waist, looking up at him with a face full of grievance.
“Don’t think about it, besides, bigamy is against the law.”
“Bigamy is against the law? Where did you hear that?”
Chen Yue Lian was puzzled:
“Didn’t Zhao, the big landlord, marry nineteen concubines? There are several families in the village with two wives.”
“Huh?”
Qin Si suddenly realized, the country has only been established for less than three months.
The monogamous marriage system probably hasn’t been implemented yet.
Plus the war, conscription, banditry, and other factors, young adults are rapidly declining.
There are many widows…
People who enjoy having two wives probably aren’t few.
At least now, it’s not against the law to marry several wives!
To be honest, Qin Si was really tempted, he can afford it now!
Damn it!
This time-travel… is so good!
“Do you want to? Just give me a word, I’ll help you bring Qin Huai Ru back.”
“No rush.”
After some thought, Qin Si shook his head. Though tempted, such things are better left to fate.
More wives may not be a good thing.
What if it leads to family strife?
He and Chen Yue Lian had a foundation of feelings from their previous month of interaction, plus Chen Yue Lian owed him a favor, so they naturally ended up together.
Their feelings are now even deeper, inseparable.
“You’re not in a hurry, I am!”
Chen Yue Lian gritted her teeth and said:
“How can you be so powerful?!”
Qin Si’s lips curled up.
He was quite pleased with himself.
…
Qin Huai Ru’s home.
Qin Si followed Qin Jing Ru and Qin Huai An into the fenced yard.
Chen Yue Lian didn’t come. She could deceive the children about her beauty, but it’s hard to fool adults.
She’ll keep a low profile at home for a while.
Qin Huai An’s father, Qin Dong, is a carpenter.
Next to the firewood shed is a place specifically for processing wood, with a pile of wood stacked neatly.
There are many tools hanging on the wall.
The scent of wood fills the air, creating a feeling of being in the mountains.
“Uncle, Qin Si Ge is here to treat your leg!”
Qin Jing Ru ran ahead excitedly.
Qin Huai Ru came out from the house, with twin ponytails like Qin Jing Ru, her clothes washed white.
There are many patches on them.
New for three years, old for three years, patching and mending for another three years.
Qin Si looked back at Qin Huai An, he has fewer patches and wears thicker clothes.
Favoring sons over daughters.
This kind of thing is too common now, it’s other people’s business, Qin Si didn’t meddle, he understood without saying it.
Seeing Qin Si, Qin Huai Ru was surprised.
Qin Si wasn’t covering his face with a scarf, his handsome features made her blush instantly.
Her eyes flickered, a bit flustered.
But she quickly adjusted, politely calling out:
“Qin Si Ge.”
“I’m here to see Dong Shu.”
“Okay.”
After greeting, Qin Huai Ru led Qin Si into the house.
By the kang, Qin Dong was doing carpentry, his hands fast and steady.
He had a dark complexion and an honest appearance.
His left leg was stretched out, covered with herbs, hanging down strangely and twisted.
Qin Dong’s wife died within two years after giving birth to Qin Huai An.
Qin Dong raised his two children alone, he didn’t remarry.
“Lan Si Zi is here?”
Qin Dong greeted him, his lips splitting into a smile.
Lan Si Zi is not an insult, there’s a saying in the countryside: A bad name brings good fortune.
Er Gou Zi, Tie Dan, Er Leng Zi, and so on, they are all like that.
People in the village who are close to Qin Si’s family call him that.
It’s like… a unique kind of blessing?
Qin Si had learned about the village’s situation from Chen Yue Lian, Qin Dong and Qin Si’s father were considered close.
It stemmed from Qin Dong’s younger brother, Qin Huai Ru’s third uncle, Qin Jing Ru’s father, Qin Liang.
Qin Liang, like Qin Si’s father, was a hunter.
They often went hunting together in the mountains, their relationship was close, so they were also on good terms with Qin Dong’s family.
The Qin brothers, Qin Dong was the eldest, and Qin Liang was the third.
There was originally a second son, but he died less than half a year after birth, he didn’t even get a name.
The name Liang was then given to Qin Jing Ru’s father.
“Good boy, you’ve grown so tall quietly, handsome, much better than your dad!”
Qin Dong smiled and gave him a thumbs up, surprised in his heart.
This kid Qin Si, just like his own son Qin Huai An, is honest and quiet.
He doesn’t often play with the village children, he always likes to stay at home.
If you don’t go to Qin Si’s house, it’s hard to see him.
Qin Dong thought back carefully, he hadn’t seen him for a while.
He didn’t expect such a big change!
“Dong Shu.”
Qin Si greeted him and gave Qin Dong a spiritual cigarette.
Qin Dong took it and pointed at Qin Si, laughing:
“You kid, you’re colder than before, you can even afford cigarettes now, that’s good, it seems like you’re living a good life.”
Qin Dong had heard about Qin Si going hunting in the mountains.
But now he can’t even take care of his own family, let alone take care of Qin Si.
He could only let him be, who knew this kid would make it out on his own.
“I heard you beat up Zhao Da Wu today? Good for you!”
Qin Dong lit the cigarette, took a puff, and showed a look of satisfaction while surprised.
Damn, what kind of cigarette is this?
It’s so comfortable to smoke.
Qin Dong even wanted to put it out quickly, saving it for later.
“It’s good to have the skills, but you should still be restrained in the future, don’t cause any trouble.”
Qin Si nodded, he didn’t respond, but looked at Qin Dong’s leg and asked:
“Dong Shu, how did this happen?”
“Ai.”
Qin Dong sighed and said helplessly:
“There was a shortage of wood, I went to the mountains to cut down trees, I fell down the mountain.”
“Didn’t you go to the hospital to see a doctor?”
“I did, it’s hard to cure.”
It probably wasn’t hard to cure, but they were afraid of spending money, they couldn’t even afford to eat, where would they get the money to see a doctor?
Qin Si didn’t expose him.
“Dong Shu, can I take a look?”
“You know how to treat it?”
“Just messing around, I know a little.”
“Alright, you take a look, do whatever you want.”
Qin Dong didn’t really expect Qin Si to be able to cure his leg, he just thought Qin Si was kind and couldn’t refuse him.
Qin Si untied the bandage and took a look.
His lower leg was broken, his ankle was also twisted, swollen, and he had some serious abrasions.
He had a good understanding.
It could be cured, and it was very simple for him.
“I’ll take a look?”
“Do whatever you want.”
Without anesthesia, Qin Si had Qin Dong bite on a stick, and then had Qin Huai An and the sisters hold down Qin Dong, then began to move.
Crack, crack!
Two crisp sounds of bones…
