Chapter 443: Chapter 444 The Poisoning of Feudal Thought

The next morning, Miao Qingqing hadn’t gotten out of bed yet when Xiao Yingying actually sneaked into her room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Miao Qingqing yawned and made some room for Xiao Yingying, saying, "It’s so early, why aren’t you with Dongzi instead of running over here?"

Xiao Yingying hugged Miao Qingqing’s arm and said, "Sister Qingqing, I’m really so happy, all of this is thanks to you, I’m here to show my respects. In ancient times, when a man took a concubine, the concubine had to pay her respects to the main wife in the morning, otherwise, it would be considered rude and ignorant, and she would have no standing in the household."

"What main wife and concubine, this isn’t ancient times." Miao Qingqing said this, but in her heart, she still felt quite pleased; at the very least, Xiao Yingying’s gesture was humble enough and showed her sufficient respect.

"No matter the time, such traditions shouldn’t be abandoned, otherwise everyone in the family will want to vie for the top spot and there’ll be no peace at home. Our family should rely on what you say, Qingqing, you should manage the harem. That way there will be harmony and no problems."

"Pfft, manage a harem, as if! You’re not enough for him, and he still wants to bring in two more?" Miao Qingqing replied with annoyance.

"That’s not what I mean, I’m just talking about us," Xiao Yingying stuck out her tongue.

"Alright, alright, you sure know how to make a fuss. Since we’re all one family, and I’m older than you, I’m your sister, and you’re my little sister then," Miao Qingqing conceded.

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing, although we can address each other that way, in my heart, I’ll still obediently do my own part," Xiao Yingying replied.

"You... you’re really a victim of feudal thinking," Miao Qingqing shook her head, feeling the distance between her and Xiao Yingying fade further.

"Oh, Sister Qingqing, Brother Dongzi is really amazing, he totally wore me out last night."

"Ah... your health?" Miao Qingqing hadn’t expected Xiao Yingying to talk about this, but couldn’t help asking.

"I couldn’t really do that, but I could help Brother Dongzi, right? It took quite a while, my arms are so sore now, and my mouth was numb for a long time before it got better," Xiao Yingying explained.

Miao Qingqing could perfectly picture the intimate scene, and her face turned red as she chided, "You really spoil him. You’re still sick, you should have made him hold back."

Xiao Yingying flashed a mischievous smile and said, "He’s my man, after all. Seeing him happy and satisfied makes me happy too."

"You..." Miao Qingqing’s mouth twitched slightly, she said, "Is there anything else in your world besides Dongzi?"

"Yes, he’s my everything. But I’m just a part of Brother Dongzi’s life, and I’m quite content with that. I used to be afraid I wouldn’t even qualify for that."

"Alright, I give up, you just relax. I’ll keep my word, we are good sisters," Miao Qingqing relented.

"Sister Qingqing, you’re so nice," Xiao Yingying immediately snuggled up to Miao Qingqing.

When Song Xiaodong saw Miao Qingqing, he still felt a bit uneasy inside, but Miao Qingqing acted completely natural, behaving the same as always, and even shared a few laughs with Xiao Yingying from time to time, which finally put Song Xiaodong at ease.

Song Xiaoru and Miao Xuanxuan, observing this, were both quietly amazed. Seizing an opportunity to speak alone with Song Xiaodong, Song Xiaoru asked him, "You little rascal, you’ve really done well, getting Qingqing and Yingying to get along so amicably."

Song Xiaodong smiled proudly and said, "The most important thing is Yingying pleasing Qingqing. Qingqing is generous enough."

"Okay then, I’ve always been worried you all would end up in a fight, but now it seems I worried for nothing. I’ll stop meddling in your affairs," Song Xiaoru said.

"Oh, you underestimate your younger brother. If I couldn’t handle it, I wouldn’t dare bring it to you, would I?"

"And you still want to bring someone over? Do you believe I’ll smack you?" Song Xiaoru reached out and grabbed Song Xiaodong’s ear.

Song Xiaodong quickly said, "No, no, I was just saying." But he couldn’t help thinking of Lin Su’er. This girl had also given a lot. If there really was a chance, she would probably agree just like Xiao Yingying. But while it was one thing with Xiao Yingying, it was quite another with Lin Su’er. Better to leave that be for now.

The family stayed home all day today, and while watching TV on the sofa, Xiao Yingying could brazenly sit on the other side of Song Xiaodong, giving him the experience of being flanked by girls on either side — an indescribably thrilling sensation.

In the afternoon, Song Xiaodong received a call from Lin Su’er.

At this point, Song Xiaodong didn’t dare to answer it in private, and he also knew why Lin Su’er was calling. He immediately answered, "Su’er, what’s up?"

"Brother Dongzi... I... I... My dad’s about to start a fight with someone," Lin Su’er said, her voice quivering with a sob.

"Your dad really has quite the temper, huh."

Lin Su’er choked up and said, "He gambled away everything, accrued debts, and now he thinks the other party cheated, so he’s gathered some of his old no-good friends, insisting on forcing the other side to pay up. I’m afraid this could blow up into something big. I’m so scared something will happen to him."

"Don’t cry. I orchestrated this to win all his money on purpose. I’ll handle it."

"You arranged this?" Lin Su’er exclaimed all of a sudden.

"Yes, haven’t I already said it? I have to get control over him completely, or he’ll never stop. So I must teach him a lesson he’ll never forget. But don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to him."

"If that’s so, then... then I feel more at ease." Lin Su’er felt somewhat comforted, but obviously she wasn’t truly at peace.

"Alright, I’ll go sort this out right now. You just wait for the news."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Dongzi."

"What’s with the formalities with me?"

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaodong explained the situation briefly, and Miao Xuanxuan immediately said he wanted to tag along for fun.

Song Xiaoru and the others were worried Song Xiaodong might stir up trouble, so they agreed to let Miao Xuanxuan go with him to have a look.

With no other choice, Song Xiaodong agreed, taking Miao Xuanxuan with him. Half an hour later, the two arrived at an abandoned quarry.

There were two groups of people facing off there, one of which was Lin Su’er’s father. At the moment, the man was bare-chested, holding an iron bar, and his body was covered in eye-catching tattoos, giving him quite the rogue’s appearance.

He was accompanied by five people, all dressed similarly rough, each armed as well.

The other group only consisted of four people, who were dressed relatively neatly, but they too were wielding weapons.

"Fuck you, Erhei, we used to be brothers in the same gang, and now you set me up like this? Have you got no brotherhood left? Today, if you sincerely return my money, we can forget this. Otherwise, I swear I’ll kill you."
