Hearing this, Jia Yulian nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you were so cruel to them just now."
He bent down and moved a handful of vegetable stalks to the corner, then straightened his upper body and looked at Qiao Qixin, "Do you want these things? If not, I will help you pack them together?"
Qiao Qixin looked Jia Yulian up and down, "Don't you dislike it?"
Jiayu, who was holding the dried vegetables in his arms, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is your home, how could I dislike it?"
He smiled innocently.
Qiao Qixin lowered her eyes, "Put those down."
The seeds of these dried vegetable stalks are still useful, Qiao Qixin plans to store them in the system space, and then sort out the seeds with Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang after they find a new place to live.
By the way, where are Sister Zhang and the others?
Didn't Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang go to the Liang family with him? Why were they missing when they came out?
Qiao Qixin secretly thought that it was not good, and then rushed out of the house and ran in the opposite direction of the Liang family.
"Eh? Where are you going?" Jia Yu even put down the withered vegetable stalk in his hand and hurriedly caught up with Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin did not answer Jia Yulian's question. She ran and looked around, worried that something had happened to Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang who suddenly disappeared.
"Sister! Brother Zhang!" She couldn't find anyone, so Qiao Qixin shouted anxiously on the village road.
Perhaps because of the loud voice, an old woman passing by stopped Qiao Qixin and asked, "Are you looking for the Zhang family?"
"Yes, grandma, have you seen where they went?" Qiao Qixin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly asked Sister Zhang where they were going.
"They went to the east end of the village to see the doctor. Are you Qiao Qixin?" the old woman asked.
Qiao Qixin nodded, "That's right, grandma."
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months. She looks really pretty. She's wearing something very stylish. The person next to you is..." The old woman's little eyes were wandering around Jia Yulian's body.
Qiao Qixin wanted to leave quickly to find Sister Zhang and the other two, but her hand was held by the old woman and she couldn't take it out for a while.
"He is a distant cousin of mine, and he came to join me because his family was poor." Qiao Qixin knew that the old woman was probably interested in Jia Yulian, so she casually gave Jia Yulian a background about her family.
Jia Yulian was puzzled, but did not refute Qiao Qixin's words.
The effect was very good. As soon as the old woman heard this, she let go of Qiao Qixin's hand and took the initiative to stay away from Jia Yulian and Qiao Qixin as if she was afraid of getting bad luck.
"Your eldest sister is watching the doctor over there. Go find her quickly, or she called me to tell you."
After saying that, the old woman left without looking back, as if she was afraid that Qiao Qixin would leave Jiayu to her.
Qiao Qixin looked back at Jia Yulian and saw that he was wearing a noble coat - perhaps because he had just moved the dried vegetables, there was a lot of dust on his body, and there were even a few small cracks on his body.
It does seem to fit the background that Qiao Qixin just casually gave him - a noble son in the family.
But now is not the time to think about that.
Without hesitation, Qiao Qixin ran towards the east end of the village where the old woman just mentioned.
She did not remember that there was a doctor in the village, but after all, she had been away for some time, and the old woman had no need to deceive her just now.
Run all the way to the east end of the village, and there is indeed an extra house there.
Qiao Qixin came to the door and knocked on the door with the copper ring.
After a sound of footsteps, the door opened. It was a sister who was slightly older than Sister Zhang who opened the door.
"You are a girl from the Zhang family, right? Your sister was talking about you just now. Come in quickly." The sister welcomed Qiao Qixin into the door, and then stopped Jia Yulian who was about to follow Qiao Qixin in.
"Hey? Who are you? Why do you want to come in?"
Qiao Qixin quickly explained, "This is my distant cousin. Sister, please let him come in together."
"Your relatives, okay, come in." The eldest sister put down her arm that was blocking Jia Yulian.
Under the leadership of the eldest sister, the two came to the living room where Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang were.
During this period, Qiao Qixin learned from her eldest sister that the owner of this house was a charlatan named Zhu, who had just moved here a few days ago.
Sister Zhang suddenly became dizzy for some reason, and she happened to be met by the eldest sister. Brother Zhang was anxious and didn't have time to call her. Hearing that the eldest sister said that he knew the doctor's family, he followed the eldest sister directly without thinking.
Fortunately, the elder sister they met was a good person and really led them to find the doctor. Qiao Qixin sighed in her heart.
"Qixin, you're here."
On the chair in the living room, Sister Zhang greeted Qiao Qixin.
When Qiao Qixin saw Sister Zhang, she ran over happily, "Sister!"
"By the way, sister, are you feeling unwell? Why are you suddenly dizzy?" Qiao Qixin said, looking at Zhu Langzhong opposite, and asked.
"Ah..." Sister Zhang blushed rarely.
Zhu Langzhong opposite laughed and said, "Your sister is happy."
Qiao Qixin paused, then looked at Sister Zhang in surprise, "Are you happy?"
Sister Zhang blushed and nodded.
She has been married to Brother Zhang for decades and has never been pregnant.
This time it suddenly happened, it was simply a gift from God!
Sister Zhang is full of love for the child in her belly.
Although Qiao Qixin is also very happy for Sister Zhang, she cares more about Sister Zhang's body than the child.
Because Sister Zhang is almost fifty now! Even in her previous era, she was a very old mother, let alone in this era where medical care is not developed enough.
If this really happens...
Qiao Qixin looked at Sister Zhang worriedly, and then gave Brother Zhang a fierce look.
It’s all down to him! No safety measures were taken!
"Sister, are you really planning to give birth to this child?" Qiao Qixin asked tentatively after leaving the doctor's house.
"Of course!" Sister Zhang said, she leaned into Qiao Qixin's ear and whispered, "I have been looking forward to this child for decades, how could I not have it?"
Sister Zhang doesn't want Brother Zhang to know that she is also worried about not having children.
Qiao Qixin looked at Sister Zhang and decided to say those disgusting words, "Sister Zhang, you are too old. If you really give birth to this child, maybe..."
"Shh!" Sister Zhang looked back warily at Brother Zhang, who was being squeezed by Qiao Qixin to walk with Jiayu. Seeing that Brother Zhang didn't notice anything strange about them, Sister Zhang said to Qiao Qixin, "Sister Zhang knows those things."
"You know?" Qiao Qixin.
Sister Zhang waved her hand and said, "The doctor told me alone that I was not suitable to have children."
"But sister has decided that since this child has been put into my belly, I will try my best to give birth to him."
"Even if I'm half alive and I die, I still have the honor to go see my parents, right? At least I died to pass on the family lineage to them."
"No, sister, this is not a matter of continuing the family line at all! If something unexpected happens, how can you let Brother Zhang live alone!" Qiao Qixin said anxiously.
Sister Zhang quickly covered Qiao Qixin's mouth, and after seeing that Qiao Qixin's mood became more stable, she said, "Isn't there a child here? Your eldest brother also has a thought. If he is old and has a child, can he take care of him?"
"Sister! I can take care of you when you are old! You don't need this child!" Qiao Qixin was a little anxious.
She had never felt that Sister Zhang was so stubborn, as if she had to have this child.
"Isn't that better? I won't have to worry about your eldest brother anymore, and I won't be able to give birth to this child?" Sister Zhang said with a smile.
Qiao Qixin realized that she seemed to have fallen into Sister Zhang's trap. She stamped her foot and said angrily, "Sister! This is not the same thing!"
"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry." Sister Zhang saw that Qiao Qixin was really getting angry, so she quickly coaxed, "Isn't it because I think you are too impatient and I am just kidding you? Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Qiao Qixin looked at Sister Zhang unhappily, "Why do you have to have this child?"
When Sister Zhang heard this, she stroked her belly with a loving look on her face, "I don't know...it's harmful."
"It's just that when Zhu Langzhong told me that I was pregnant, I really wanted to give birth to this child."
With that said, Sister Zhang took one of Qiao Qixin's hands and put it on her belly.
"Look, there's a little thing here."
Although she was not the person involved, Qiao Qixin could still feel the vague warmth coming from her hands.
There is a life nurtured there.
But she still didn't understand Sister Zhang's persistence and why she would rather risk her life to give birth to a baby she had never met.
I don’t understand why I don’t understand, but Qiao Qixin respects Sister Zhang’s choice.
She understood that no matter what she said, Sister Zhang would not change her choice.
"Hey." Qiao Qixin sighed, "Okay, Sister Zhang, you have to protect yourself in the future."
Qiao Qixin looked at Sister Zhang's belly.
Fortunately, I have a system. If I do more tasks and redeem more recovery potions, it should be fine.
[Issue a mission based on the current situation of the host (advanced): Go to Suiluo City]
[Task Level: Advanced]
[Task reward: Gold longevity lock]
Long-lost system tasks come to mind.
Qiao Qixin helplessly held her forehead.
Gold longevity lock, this system really follows the reality.
But then again, where is Suiluo City?
Qiao Qixin looked back at Jia Yulian behind her and asked, "Do you know where Suiluo City is?"
Jia Yu said "Hmm" and said, "Suiluo City is a messy place. The collusion between officials and gangsters is very serious there, and there are even cases of raping civilian women on the street."
"How do you know it's so messed up?" Brother Zhang on the side asked doubtfully.
Jiayu scratched his head repeatedly, "My mother told me. She said I have to go there in the future so that I can be prepared."
"Which mother would let her son go to what kind of place?" Brother Zhang wondered.
Jia Yulian scratched his head again and did not answer.
Qiao Qixin looked solemn.
I feel like what Jia Yulian said, Suiluo City is not a good place to live...
"Qixin, why did you suddenly ask Suiluocheng?" Sister Zhang said.
"Hmm? Sister, do you also know this place?" Qiao Qixin said.
Sister Zhang nodded, "I heard my sister say it before, but although Suiluo City is chaotic, Anning City adjacent to it is very peaceful, and there is no mess at all."
"Anning City? It has the same name." Qiao Qixin joked.
