A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 18 Ouch, ouch, ouch... You're hurting me...

"I'm already happy that you're here. Why did you bring so much stuff? How much is it in total? I'll give it to you..." Zhu Huiwen glanced down at the things in Qin Yingxue's hands and quickly said.

"Auntie, if you're going to be so calculating with me, then I'll take back the clothes you made for me too!" Qin Yingxue said with a smile, trying to stop her.

"You, don't spend money like that next time!" Zhu Huiwen said helplessly with a wry smile.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, Auntie!" Qin Yingxue nodded with a smile.

The Song family was better off than the Qin family, after all, Song Yanchuan was a naval officer and would send most of his salary back home every month.

Zhu Huiwen was also a thrifty person. Because she was too weak to work in the fields, she made clothes and shoes for the villagers to earn her own food.

Therefore, Song Yanchuan's salary remained largely untouched. After two years in the army, Zhu Huiwen spent money to build three brand-new brick houses.

This is unique in the village, and many villagers envy it.

The yard is enclosed by a fence, and the family keeps a big black dog.

The big black dog was very intelligent. It didn't bark when it saw Qin Yingxue, but just stared at her warily for a while before lying down, sticking out its tongue and closing its eyes to rest.

Zhu Huiwen poured Qin Yingxue a cup of tea and started chatting with her, mostly about Song Yanchuan.

He talked about how mischievous he was as a child, how he could stay underwater in the river for half an hour without surfacing for air, and it was because of this that he was selected to join the navy...

It wasn't until evening that Qin Yingxue refused Zhu Huiwen's offer to stay and walked along the bumpy, uneven path in the village.

Just as I rounded the corner, a pebble came flying from behind.

Qin Yingxue dodged aside and turned to see a dark-skinned, thin girl who was about the same age as her and dressed simply.

"So you're Qin Yingxue, the wicked woman who stole Qin Linlin's fiancé?" The dark-skinned, thin girl glared angrily at Qin Yingxue, her teeth clenched in hatred.

"The Qin Linlin you're talking about has changed her surname to Jiang," Qin Yingxue reminded her coldly.

"I don't care! Qin... Linlin and Yan Chuan are childhood sweethearts. Their relationship is not something an outsider like you can interfere with! I'm warning you, stay away from Yan Chuan's house. Don't think that by bringing some food to please Yan Chuan's mother, you can marry Yan Chuan. Yan Chuan only likes Linlin." The dark-skinned, thin girl glared angrily at Qin Yingxue, her eyes blazing with fury.

Qin Yingxue clicked her tongue and walked slowly toward the girl.

"What are you doing? Don't think that just because you're a member of the Qin family, I won't hold back! If you come any closer, I won't be polite..."

Before the dark-skinned, thin girl could finish speaking, she saw Qin Yingxue already standing in front of her.

Her expression changed instantly, and she turned to run away, but Qin Yingxue grabbed her long ponytail.

"Ouch... Ouch... You're hurting me..." the dark-skinned, thin girl screamed, her face filled with terror.

This woman was clearly ten steps away from me just now, how did she suddenly appear in front of me?

Is she not human?

Thinking about this, she became even more frightened, and her whole body began to tremble.

Qin Yingxue spun the hand holding her ponytail, and the dark-skinned, thin girl cried out in pain, biting her lip so hard she dared not utter a sound.

Seeing that she was crying and snot streaming down her face, Qin Yingxue kicked her in the knee in disgust, then let go of her.

The dark-skinned, thin girl knelt down with a thud, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

"If you don't have the ability yourself, don't stand up for others anymore. Otherwise, if there's a next time, I'll break your hands!" Qin Yingxue casually picked up a pebble from the ground, took a few steps, suddenly turned around, and quickly and accurately threw it into the girl's open mouth as she cried out in pain. Then, she nonchalantly put her hands in her pockets and walked towards Qin Family Village.

"Ah... my teeth..."

Hearing the dark-skinned, thin girl's desperate screams, Qin Yingxue hummed a little tune in a good mood.

After taking only a few steps, her smile froze when she saw Qin Dahai's honest and simple face.

"Mom has prepared dinner and is calling you home for dinner!" Qin Dahai said as he walked to Qin Yingxue's side.

Qin Yingxue looked at Qin Dahai, her expression unchanged, and even her voice was normal.

Didn't he see it just now?

Qin Yingxue had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Qin Dahai's voice: "Her name is Xiaocao. Her father died of illness years ago, and her mother ran away with someone else. She only has a paralyzed grandmother and a fifteen-year-old sister. Her family is very poor. Years ago, because Qin... Jiang Linlin gave her a few cornbreads, she has always been very open with Linlin. Actually, Xiaocao isn't a bad person..."

Qin Dahai hesitated slightly at the end of his speech.

"If she doesn't cause me trouble next time, I won't do anything to her," Qin Yingxue said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Dahai quickly replied, "I knew my sister was kind-hearted and wouldn't hold a grudge against Xiaocao. I'll give her a talk later, and I guarantee she won't go against my sister again." Hearing Qin Dahai's voice lighten a bit, Qin Yingxue began her mischievous prank: "Big brother, are you simply pleading for Xiaocao, or are you doing it because of her friendship with Jiang Linlin?"

Qin Dahai's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly replied, "You've only been home for two days. I was worried you wouldn't be familiar with things or feel comfortable, so I told you. Yingxue, if you feel uncomfortable, I won't mention it again."

"What's there for me to feel uncomfortable about?" Qin Yingxue shook her head with a smile. "Jiang Linlin has indeed lived here for eighteen years, and no one can erase the traces she left behind. Besides, I'm not a petty person! But, brother, if one day in the future, Jiang Linlin and I have a problem, will you side with her or with me?"

After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she stared intently at Qin Dahai.

Human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation; this was a lesson she learned in her past life.

But for some reason, she just wanted to be willful for once.

“You are my sister, and Linlin has lived in our home for eighteen years. Although we are not related by blood, I treat her like my own sister. If that day ever comes, I will not take sides or help anyone. I will let right and wrong be judged.”

Qin Dahai pondered for a long time before finally giving his answer.

“But there are many things that cannot be judged simply by right or wrong.” Qin Yingxue sighed and quickened her pace to walk ahead of Qin Dahai.

Although she already knew the answer, she still couldn't hide her disappointment when she actually heard it from Qin Dahai.

What is she disappointed about?

Jiang Linlin had lived with the Qin family for eighteen years; it was impossible for her to have no feelings for them at all.

As for myself, I've only been back for two days, but because of that blood relation, I'm already just as important as Jiang Linlin in Qin Dahai's heart. Shouldn't I be happy?

Qin Dahai stood there, watching Qin Yingxue's departing figure, and for some reason, felt as if something was slowly being lost.

Qin Yingxue had just adjusted her mindset and returned to the courtyard when Qin Dahe grabbed her.
