Chapter 689: Knows what this person is thinking

The Qin family wasn’t skilled at farming, and ever since they’d arrived here, they hadn’t had a full meal.

Qin Suqing thought of her family’s situation and felt so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Just then, an unremarkable man suddenly appeared.

He silently started to help her with the work.

Qin Suqing knew what he was after.

She quickly wiped away her tears, shed her vulnerability, swung her farming tools, and drove the man away.

"I can manage on my own, I don’t need your help, please, Comrade, have some respect for yourself."

The man’s expression turned sour in an instant, as if dangerous undercurrents were swirling within.

"I’m volunteering..."

Qin Suqing was utterly indifferent.

"Even if it’s voluntary, I don’t need it. I can take care of myself without your meddling."

"And furthermore, I’m not interested in dating right now, stop hovering around me."

With the current circumstances, she had no interest in dating.

Getting by with enough food and warmth would be good enough.

Seeing Qin Suqing’s face filled with distance and defiance, the man could only give up temporarily and walk away.

Seeing that the man didn’t linger, Qin Suqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qin Suqing, who is Qin Suqing? There’s a package for you..." someone called out from afar.

Qin Suqing was stunned, then ran towards the source of the voice with her farming tools in hand.

"I am Qin Suqing."

"Come to the Security Room to collect your package," the informant said before leaving.

Qin Qiaomu, who had been laboring hard, heard someone calling for his sister and after saying a few good words to the overseer, he hurried over.

"Sis, what happened?" the youth’s face, which had grown thinner, was full of concern.

The worry on Qin Suqing’s face lightened a bit, "Nothing serious, they said there’s a package for me."

"A package? Where could it be from?" Qin Qiaomu muttered to himself.

Ever since they arrived here, the people who used to be close to them hadn’t sent even a single letter.

From then on...

He no longer had any hope.

Qin Suqing shook her head, "I don’t know, we’ll see when we get there."

The siblings arrived at the Security Room.

Inside was a person and some packages.

A few of the packages were astonishingly large.

Normally, the people in charge of the farm would take a third of each delivered package.

The greedy ones would outright take half.

The people on the farm were the abandoned ones; no matter how much humiliation they suffered, they had to endure it.

But today, no one at the farm dared to touch this package.

The contents were too good.

There was grain, meat, tobacco, and even medicine...

These things were hard to come by; who could know which powerful figure the Qin family had connected with?

The people on the farm, as sharp as a hornet’s nest, knew the person behind it was not someone they could afford to provoke, so they honestly didn’t touch a thing.

They refrained, but the frustration in their hearts was very real.

No one paid any attention to Qin Suqing and her brother.

Having been in the farm for so long, Qin Suqing was no longer the naïve girl she had been.

She rifled through the packages and first read the accompanying letter.

It was a letter and packages from Tangtang...

Seeing the words of concern, her heart trembled fiercely, and her eyes reddened in an instant.

A complicated expression crossed Qin Qiaomu’s face, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Why would Tangtang do this?!

They couldn’t help her in the slightest anymore!

Qin Suqing took out a box of tobacco from the bundle and handed it out.

"Our family has troubled everyone here, this box of tobacco was sent by an elder in my family, please accept it."

This advice was subtly reminded to her in Tangtang’s letter.

She said people tend to kick you when you’re down...

Be shrewd, protect yourself and your family.

Tobacco was a precious commodity in such a place, especially for those with a strong addiction to it.

Upon seeing the box of tobacco, one person’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since you’re so kind, I’ll accept it. Carrying stones is such heavy work, let Comrade Qin do the sowing instead..."

When Qin Suqing heard this, she was overjoyed inwardly, but she maintained a calm demeanor, as if neither praise nor disgrace could affect her.

She calmly expressed her thanks and left the Security Room with her items.

Qin Qiaomu’s tone was cheerful, "Sister?!"

"Let’s talk when we get back," Qin Suqing reminded him.

The siblings arrived at their residence, where Qin Minsheng and Feng Hui had returned.

Seeing the bundle in their daughter’s hand, the couple was surprised.

"Qingqing, where did you get these things? Cough..." Qin Minsheng felt an itch in his throat and coughed once.

Qin Suqing set down the bundle and poured him a glass of water.

"Dad, drink some water first. I’ll cook you some rice porridge in a bit."

Qin Minsheng took a sip of the water and exchanged glances with his wife.

"Where did we get rice?" Feng Hui asked bitterly.

Qin Qiaomu closed the door and opened the bundle.

It revealed items like cured meat.

"All this was mailed by my sister Tangtang," the boy swallowed hard.

Feng Hui’s gaze shifted slightly upon seeing the contents of the bundle.

"Tangtang sent these? So much?"

Thinking of the unwritten rules of the farm, she said, "Those people..."

How didn’t they confiscate it?!

Qin Suqing shared her guess with the family, "I think they might have overestimated Tangtang, considering her an important figure and didn’t dare to touch the items. So they let me bring them all back. I gave a pack of tobacco as thanks."

Qin Minsheng’s eyes deepened abruptly.

"You did the right thing, Suqing."

"If handled well, this could make our lives a bit easier."

Qin Suqing held the same thought.

Bluffing with borrowed authority.

The method might be crude, but it should be quite effective in practice.

This plan depended on Tangtang.

Fortunately, Tangtang had given her advice in the letter, so carrying out the plan wouldn’t be a big problem.

"Thanks to Comrade Xiaolin," expressed Qin Minsheng with emotion.

He had helped countless people and many remembered his kindness. But times were hard, and everyone had to look out for themselves, unable to help much.

There was nothing to blame.

Observing Qin Qiaomu, Qin Minsheng noticed the hostility on his son’s face had lessened, easing his worried heart.

Qiaomu was young, full of youthful arrogance. The sudden change in the family’s circumstances had greatly affected him, and his father was truly concerned he might rashly veer off the right path.

Sensing his father’s gaze, Qin Qiaomu licked his dry lips and looked down without speaking.

Without a retort, Qin Minsheng knew his son had softened.

He reached out and patted Qiaomu’s shoulder.

Qin Minsheng didn’t need to say more.

It was still up to Qiaomu to come to an understanding.

Seeing her family spirited again, Feng Hui felt a bittersweet rush.

"Tangtang sent quite a bit. What would you all like to eat?" she changed the subject.

Qin Suqing: "I’d like a bowl of rice porridge. What about you, Qiaomu?"

Qin Qiaomu was not picky about food, being able to eat was good enough.

"I’ll have the same as my sister."

Qin Suqing felt pampered by her younger brother, a sweet sensation bubbling up within her, dispelling the bitterness of recent times.

"Thank you, Qiaomu."

The boy averted his eyes, his tone stubborn, "Thanks for what, I want to eat rice porridge too."

Watching this scene, Qin Minsheng and Feng Hui felt warmth in the drafty room, the family was together, and their hearts were warm.

"Alright, we’ll have rice porridge today."

Feng Hui took out everything from the bundle, noticing the herbal medicine within. The packaging thoughtfully had writing on it.

Feeling warmth in her chest, she said, "Old Qin, Tangtang has sent some cough medicine. After dinner, take a dose to not delay, lest a minor illness turns into a major one."

They had planned to look for herbal medicine in the mountains, but their time was fully scheduled, and they simply couldn’t find a spare moment.
