70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 349: Zhao Qing in Danger

Ximei has been married for over a year now, living quite well in her husband’s family. Her husband treats her kindly, and she’s long forgotten about Huo Qingze. Now expecting a child, she naturally focuses wholeheartedly on her own child.

Her brother came to see her, she was delighted, invited him to stay for a meal, and as he left, she gave him clothes she had already made for their parents to take back home.

She once resented her parents for not letting her marry Huo, but ever since her college entrance exams, she realized she and Huo were not of the same world, and she completely let it go then.

Yet, each time she visits her parents, she wants to apologize but finds it hard to say the words, so she gives more attention to them instead. Whenever she has good things, she sends some back home and even makes several new clothes for them.

This time, as her brother visited, she finished the clothes for her parents and asked Zhao Qing to take them back.

"Ximei is really something, keeping good stuff for herself, always sending things home. This year alone, she made two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for me and your dad," the brigade leader’s wife started to complain, but her face showed a smile, as the son-in-law’s family conditions were quite good, and her daughter kept thinking about them, making her heart glad.

"Sister just wants you both to not work so hard," Zhao Qing laughed.

"By the way, your sister should be about to give birth, right? Still doing this work, is she okay physically?" Zhao Guodong showed concern too. Since she got pregnant, Ximei spent most of her time making clothes and stitching soles, some for them as a couple, some for the son-in-law and mother-in-law, and more for the unborn child.

Ximei is quite talented in making clothes and stitching soles. After marrying into her husband’s family, she rarely goes to work, usually stays home cooking and mending old clothes.

"She is doing well, you don’t have to worry, she still has one and a half months to go before giving birth." Zhao Qing had a gentle smile, naturally pleased that his sister’s life was going well.

He’s also working hard to become stronger so that no one in his sister’s husband’s family would dare to bully her.

"Well, it’s soon, let’s save up more eggs this period, once your sister gives birth, we’ll send them over." The brigade leader’s wife began calculating. They have two old hens at home that lay frequently, saving up for over a month should easily gather sixty or seventy eggs, then send them all to Ximei. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, she must replenish well.

The matter of Liu Laizi being unable to borrow grain from the brigade leader’s house quickly spread in the brigade, yet no one spoke ill of the leader. Everyone saw what the leader has done over the years. He’s done everything possible for Liu Laizi’s family.

Xu Mumu also heard about this from Liu Cuixia but didn’t dwell on it.

Meanwhile, Yin Yang closed the account book in his hands, his eyes gleaming with a smile. Things on this side were finally settled, and Yun Luo was efficiently betrothed; excellent, he could go back to find his girlfriend, his mood bubbling with joy.

"Young master, the train ticket is already bought." Mr. Cao walked in from outside, feeling a bit reluctant. The young master seldom returns; once gone this time, who knows when he will be back.

With Yun Ji and Yun Luo fiercely dealt with this time, in the short term, they won’t have a chance to act recklessly again, and Yin Yang won’t return for a while.

"Thank you, Sir Cao." Yin Yang spoke gently.

"The young master is being so polite; if you want to go, feel free, I will watch over Lan City for you." Mr. Cao spoke gently; Yin Yang’s world has never been centered in Lan City, and they cannot restrict his development.

"Then I must trouble Sir Cao to take care of things in the future." Yin Yang smiled as he spoke.

Early the next morning, Yin Yang boarded the train and left Lan City.

In the morning, Xu Mumu tidied up, ready to stroll around the county town, and then headed there with Xu Minglei.

Xu Mumu and the others arrived relatively late, not many people heading to the county town, but quite a few were coming back.

Xu Mumu didn’t care about the looks from others, she and Xu Minglei walked toward the county town.

The sun grew stronger, and the number of pedestrians on the road decreased. Xu Mumu, wearing a straw hat, tried to walk under the shade of trees.

Xu Minglei had tanned quite a bit since he returned, not bothered by the strong sun, as he was just happy to go to the county town with his sister.

Just as they were about to reach the county town, Xu Mumu saw at the corner of a dilapidated house in the distance, there was someone in a fight—not right, someone was being surrounded about to be dealt with.

Xu Mumu had excellent eyesight; even across hundreds of meters, she could see clearly. The person being surrounded was Zhao Qing.

"Minglei, wait here for me, I’ll go over there." Xu Mumu patted her brother’s hair.

"Over there, sounds like there’s noise." Xu Minglei looked in that direction; those people had already cornered Zhao Qing into the rundown house, so Xu Minglei couldn’t see them.

"Hmm, I saw Qing, he’s being bullied, I’ll go lend a hand." Xu Mumu smiled, Xu Minglei was still young, even with more than two years of training with her, he’s only slightly stronger than average kids, not enough to face those small thugs.

"Sis, you go quickly, I’ll wait here for you." Xu Minglei pursed his lips, feeling a bit unhappy, if he were as tall and strong as the eldest brother, his sister would definitely let him help. If he followed, he’d probably not be of much help and might drag his sister down.

Thinking of these things lowered Xu Minglei’s mood further.

This time Xu Mumu couldn’t care about her brother’s emotions, leaving Xu Minglei to wait here, she quickened her pace toward the rundown house.

"Liu Laizi, what’s the meaning of this?" Zhao Qing clutched his stomach, having been kicked just now, these people didn’t hold back at all, his stomach was hurting.

"No meaning, just went to your house to borrow some grain and your family wasn’t willing, you seem to be well-off." Liu Laizi tapped Zhao Qing’s face with a knife, eyes flashing with malice. Just because Zhao Guodong refused to lend grain, he took his anger out on the entire Zhao family, unable to get anything from others, he targeted Zhao Qing, blaming his bad luck.

"Liu Laizi, how has my family wronged you, why are you doing this?" Zhao Qing’s heart was full of hate, looking at Liu Laizi, realizing for the first time that he wasn’t strong enough.

"Hehehe, Hu, this Zhao Qing’s family is loaded, let’s score big." Liu Laizi looked flatteringly at Hu, who had a scarred face and tattooed arms, an imposing figure.

Indeed it was so, this Hu had just been released from prison two years ago, his skills in fighting were extremely brutal, quickly gathering a group of younger followers, Liu Laizi being one among them.
