Chapter 1144: Chapter 1138: Casual Chat_1 Chapter 1144: Chapter 1138: Casual Chat_1 Qin Yu and Qin Hao went off to have a chat since Qin Yu thought it valuable to maintain their bond. Qin Yu had made the rare effort to return from S Province and felt it was essential to have a heart-to-heart chat with Qin Hao, or else their friendship might fade away.
Indeed, friendship sometimes requires an effort to maintain; else it fades until theyâre like strangers.
âSo, youâre Qin Xue. Iâd heard from Qin Hao that youâre the most beautiful girl in the village, and now I see itâs true. Youâre a beauty,â Yin Zhi had only heard about Qin Xueâs reputation in the village. After asking her husband about her, she learned about some things about Qin Xue.
Now that she saw Qin Xue in person, she found her too beautiful to match any rumors she had heard in the village.
âYouâre too kind, sister-in-law. You are truly a beauty. My brother Qin Hao has good taste,â Qin Xue said, looking at the elegantly smiling woman in front of her. Although she was a farmerâs wife, it did nothing to diminish her grace.
âYou are too kind, Qin Xue,â Yin Zhi smiled and replied.
Who doesnât like to hear kind words? Yin Zhi was no exception.
âThis is because you are worthy of it, sister-in-law,â Qin Xue said, smiling softly.
âOkay, you two beauties, enough with the compliments,â the village chiefâs wife laughed as she watched her daughter-in-law and Qin Xue exchanging compliments.
She never expected her daughter-in-law and Qin Xue to hit it off so quickly.
Seeing their cordiality made her very happy indeed.
âThe village chiefâs wife talks sensibly. Complimenting two people without offending anyone, clever!â Qin Xue laughingly commented.
âYou two are indeed beautiful people, I am not wrong to say it,â laughed the chiefâs wife. Her daughter-in-law was naturally beautiful, and Qin Xueâs beauty was acknowledged by everyone, so she wasnât wrong in her words.
The Qin siblings spent a long time at the village chiefâs home before they returned.
Meanwhile, Qin Lang took Qin Huaihe through some back alleys where they could not easily be spotted.
âUncle, letâs wait here,â Qin Lang pointed at a secluded spot not far away.
âAlright, then letâs wait here,â Qin Huaihe agreed after surveying the place.
âUncle, you are lucky, look there,â Qin Lang pointed at a place far away for Qin Huaihe to see.
Turned out, it was Nangong Shulan and Qin Lei. After Qin Xue and the others left, Nangong Shulan and Qin Lei went home to prepare gifts for visiting others during New Yearâs.
As it happened, Nangong Shulan was seeing Qin Lei out of the house while Qin Huaihe and Qin Lang secretly watched them.
âShulan, thank you for taking care of the house, I will be back as soon as possible,â Qin Lei said, considering it was important for someone to be at home in case someone came calling.
âDonât worry, itâs the same every year. And you say the same thing every year,â Shulan, used to hearing this sentence year after year, reassured him.
Every time he would go out for the New Yearâs visits, he would always rush back, worrying she would be overwhelmed by the house chores.
âHehe, itâs because I care for you,â Qin Lei whispered softly beside Nangong Shulanâs ear.
âOh, you, what if the children heard that? And if the villagers saw us, what will they say?â Nangong Shulan couldnât help but laugh at him, although they had been married for many years, he had only grown more affectionate towards her. âWho cares? We are a couple, people seeing us so in love might even envy us,â replied Qin Lei, knowing well that sometimes in a relationship, one must throw caution to the wind and risk being shamed, else the romantic sparks would fade, and love would cool down.
