Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Qian Jincai did not comment on his daughter Qian Meijuan's proposal and said, "Then go and discuss it with your sisters. Anyway, just hurry up and prepare the meal. Your grandparents are hungry, so hurry up!"

After saying this, Qian Jincai no longer cared about other things and went back to his room to lie down.

Qian Meijuan was very jealous of her cousin Qian Niandi from her second uncle's family.

Judging from her facial features, Qian Niandi looks average, far worse than Qian Meijuan, and only slightly better than Sun Xiaohao, who took after Zhan Jinhua.

But she was born in a good family. No matter how her parents earned their money, she has been a city dweller since she was young. She has good food, clothing and everything. When she puts on those beautiful clothes, her temperament improves immediately, and she looks completely different from a rural child.

Qian Meijuan felt that if she could have those beautiful clothes, she would be ten thousand times more beautiful than Qian Niandi.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. However, her uncle and aunt had sent a lot of money home before, and everyone in the family benefited from it, so Qian Meijuan didn't dare to show it. Now, Qian Niandi and her two brothers were almost like orphans.

She heard from the villagers today that her second uncle and second aunt had committed a serious crime and would probably be sentenced to many years in prison. In that case, would the three children of her second uncle have to stay in Luojiagou?

There are many people in the family, but no one can earn money. Apart from raising pigs and farming to earn some income, we rely on my second uncle and aunt for support.

If I lose the several hundred dollars a month from my second uncle's family, and I have to support three more children from his family, you can imagine how tight life will be in the future.

Qian Meijuan now felt that Qian Niandi and her two siblings would be living under someone else's roof from now on, and she was considered a small master of the Qian family, so she could order them around at will.

Thinking of this, Qian Meijuan, who always felt that she was a head shorter than Qian Niandi, suddenly felt more confident. She shouted at Qian Niandi with a cold face: "Sister, it's already noon, you come to cook, grandpa and grandma are hungry and waiting for dinner!"

Qian Niandi has been in a gloomy mood since morning till now. She feels disgusted and angry about Qian Longbin's actions, and worried about Qian Longchuan's current situation.

But she knew that she was no longer qualified to care about Xiaochuan. Not to mention that Qian Longchuan was seriously injured in order to save her, she was unable to protect Qian Longchuan from being hurt by his family. Just talking about the uncle surnamed Wu who might be Qian Longchuan's biological father, it was impossible for them to have any contact.

If Xiaochuan was really stolen or bought by his parents, then the two families would be sworn enemies.

She didn't know what she should do, and even if she had an idea, she couldn't do it now because her two younger brothers were waiting to be taken care of.

The previous Xiaoshu, when she last saw him, was only three or four years old, skinny and timid, and his parents never cared about him. Thinking of Qian Longchuan, he was not his parents' biological child either. Could it be that these two children were stolen or bought by them?

But they left one of the two children at their grandmother's house and the other at their grandmother's house, without taking them with them. What was the point of doing this? She really couldn't figure it out.

The new little tree in our house is not as timid as the previous one. It is white and plump, and looks very healthy and confident.

But she always felt that the way her brother looked at people made her feel uncomfortable, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.

Now, she takes three-year-old Qian Longfei to play with soil under the steps in the yard, and the "new little tree" Sun Xiaohao moves a small stool and sits under the eaves of the wing room, watching them play quietly.

Qian Niandi saw how her parents loved the new little tree and saw that his facial features were very similar to his mother's, so she was sure that this was undoubtedly her biological brother.

But she had no idea where this brother had gone before, how he suddenly returned to the Qian family, and why he still used the name Xiaoshu.

She wanted to build a good relationship with Xin Xiaoshu. After all, her parents were not around, and she had the responsibility to take good care of her two younger brothers.

But Xin Xiaoshu always avoided answering her questions and refused to play with them, which made her a little unsure about how to get along with her new brother.

Hearing Qian Meijuan's call, Qian Niandi glanced at Qian Meijuan who was standing on the steps and asked, "How did you eat before?"

Qian Meijuan hated to see Qian Niandi always speaking in such a nonchalant manner. Unlike her, she always felt a little nervous when facing her second uncle and second aunt’s family who were from the city.

Qian Meijuan was a little upset that Qian Niandi was still so unhurried in this situation. She said unhappily, "My mother used to cook, but now she's gone, and there's no one left to cook. You can't let others serve your family of three, can you?"

Qian Niandi understood what Qian Meijuan meant. Now in her grandfather's family, Qian Meijuan and Qian Jincai were considered a couple, and her grandparents were also a couple. Only her own family had three people, so whoever had a larger family would be responsible for serving the whole family meals.

She didn't have the heart to argue with the Qian family about these things. After all, she and her two younger brothers did need to eat, so it wouldn't be a big deal to do a little more and do something just for the sake of convenience.

So she picked up Qian Longfei and called Xin Xiaoshu back to the house, fetched water for them to wash their hands, and then let them play on the cement floor on the steps for a while while she carried the firewood to the outer room.

I asked Qian Meijuan where the food was stored at home and scooped out some rice.

Although she can't cook many fancy dishes, she can still cook basic home-cooked meals. Although my parents don't go back to my grandmother's house often, they go to my grandmother's house quite often, and each time they stay there they stay longer.

They are all in the countryside, and the basic skills of making fire and cooking with earthen pots and stoves are not difficult for her.

Soon, Qian Niandi lit the fire, boiled the water, and poured in the washed rice. While burning the fire, she stirred the rice in the pot with a spoon from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

When the rice was half cooked, I scooped it out with a strainer and placed it in a basin.

Pour out the rice soup from the pot, clean the pot and add clean water, put a steamer on the pot, put the rice bowl on it, cover the pot, start lighting the fire again, and steam the rice until cooked.

It was noon and the weather was very hot. Qian Meijuan stayed outside for a while and then got up and went back to lie down. She had no intention of helping Qian Niandi.

When the pot was steaming and there was no need to burn fire anymore, Qian Niandi prepared to go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, but unexpectedly something went wrong again.
