The Nine Zero Jiaojiao girl found the fiercest rough guy in the whole village

Chapter 74
White sugar cake, candied haws, candied chestnuts... Isn't it the first time she and Qin Ao went to the city, did she buy these?

So it is self-evident who brought these snacks.

Shui Huaizhu went home and found the men's jacket that had been in the closet for a while, washed his face and went out.

"Huaizhu, where are you going?"

Ye Meiying heard footsteps, she poked her head out to look at her, "It's almost time for dinner."

"Mom," Shui Huaizhu said while walking, "I have something to go out for a while, don't wait for dinner, you guys eat first."

Ye Meiying frowned suspiciously as she watched her daughter leave.

The girl looks serious, what are you going to do here?

Shui Huaizhu found Qin Ao's house all the way, but she didn't go in immediately, but stood in a corner not far away to observe.

In her impression, she seemed to be seeing Qin Ao's home for the first time, and it was more... dilapidated than she imagined.

Two mud brick houses, the roof is covered with broken but neat tiles, the left side should be the kitchen, and the burnt black wall can be seen.

In 1994, the people in the town were indeed not well-to-do, but most of them lived in red brick houses, and some were even high-rise buildings—such as her house.

The mud brick house has really never seen two.

Looking at it, Shui Huaizhu's stagnant breath went away unknowingly.

She guessed that Qin Ao sent the snacks, but why did she give them secretly?
This one just killed her in front of people, and pretended not to know her well, and the other one just wanted to make up by playing a secret game and secretly sending bags of snacks?
Oh, she is not so easy to coax.

This was Shui Huaizhu's thought 5 minutes ago, but now her eyes are full of love for Qin Ao.

I really feel sorry for such a big man, but because he has an unreliable alcoholic father, life is difficult, and he has to bear the mistakes made by Qin's father, so he has become a joke of the townspeople.

How difficult is his daily life?
If it were her, she would have escaped from such a terrible family overnight.

It is true that there is no such thing as empathy in this world, but at this moment, she can slightly understand Qin Ao's terrible dignity and the strict defense of his heart.

"A bad woman?"

Shui Huaizhu was lost in thought, when suddenly a child's voice woke her up, "Are you trying to scold my elder brother again?"

She looked down and met Qin Li's dirty little face.

Shui Huaizhu: "..."

She sighed, did the child's temper follow Qin Ao's?So vigilant.

"I do not have."

Shui Huaizhu squatted down and looked at Qin Li levelly, "Little girl, I said last time that I realized my mistakes and corrected them, you have to trust me."

Qin Li looked at her suspiciously, "What are you doing sneaking up here and staring at my house?"

As soon as Shui Huaizhu raised her hand, Qin Li dodged backward reflexively, and raised her thin arm to cover her head. It was an instinctive reaction after suffering a lot of beatings.

Her heart suddenly became sour, and she said in the most gentle voice, "Xiao Li, don't be afraid. Your face is dirty, I want to clean it for you."

Qin Li still hid back until Shui Huaizhu took out a candy, which made her stop in doubt.

Holding a handkerchief, Shui Huaizhu carefully wiped off the black spots on Qin Li's face, "Are you cooking?"

The smear on this little face was left over from burning firewood.

Qin Li nodded shyly.

Although the vigilance is still there, this sister is so beautiful and smells good.

"What about your elder brother?"

"Brother went out to work," Qin Li replied in a low voice, "He said he wanted to make money for Xiao Liang and me to eat and study. We're so busy that we won't be able to see him anymore."

"What is he doing now?"

"Brother said he was going to move bricks."

Moving bricks?

Shui Huaizhu paused, Qin Ao's new job is moving bricks?So it will appear on the construction site?
Thinking of seeing him covered in dirt twice in a row, Shui Huaizhu silently lowered her eyes.

Brick movers in this era are very cheap and hard. Would Qin Ao rather move bricks under the sun than face her in a garment factory?

All of a sudden, her sour mood was mixed with a suffocation that she could not explain.

"Xiao Li, can you do me a favor?"

Shui Huaizhu handed the bag in her hand to Qin Li, "Give this to your elder brother for me."

"Will this thing hurt my brother?"

Hearing the little girl's tone of voice, she was quite wary.

"Before I broke one of his clothes, I have to pay him for one."

Shui Huaizhu explained: "Didn't your teacher teach it? If you break someone else's things, you have to pay for it."

Qin Li nodded with a vague understanding, and then took the bag.

"This is for you and Xiao Liang." Shui Huaizhu took out another handful of peanut candies and stuffed them, "It's delicious."

The peanut candy was brought out by her from home. As for the snacks Qin Ao gave her...it was all her own.

Qin Li didn't seem to have eaten peanut candy, her big eyes kept staring at it, it seemed that she couldn't wait to taste it.

Shui Huaizhu smiled, "Eh? You're still a little dirty here, I'll clean it for you."

"hiss!"

Suddenly, Qin Li let out a cry of pain, pulling her attention back.

"Am I hurting you?"

Shui Huaizhu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I think it's very dark here, so I used a little force..."

"Fizz!"

Qin Li cried out in pain again, covering her face tightly with her small hands, "Sister, don't wipe here."

Her name changed from bad woman to sister?
Before Shui Huaizhu finished being happy, she keenly noticed tears welling up in Qin Li's big eyes.

Does it hurt so much?
Shui Huaizhu raised her eyebrows suspiciously. She only put in a little more effort, but she was still very gentle...Suddenly, a thought flashed out, and Shui Huaizhu grabbed Qin Li's hand, half-forced. pulled her hand away.

There was a black scar on Qin Li's right face, which was left after being beaten hard.

"Who hit it?"

Shui Huaizhu inhaled.

What kind of person who is not as good as a beast would do such a heavy hand on a child!
Her serious look frightened Qin Li, and the little girl kept shrinking back.

"Xiao Li, did your father beat you?"

Although Shui Huaizhu didn't know Qin's father well, but she usually heard a lot from her neighbors, so she probably had some impressions.

Qin's father often got drunk and vented his anger on his children. I heard that their mother was also beaten a lot by Qin's father, and died of depression.

Qin Li shook her head vigorously, then nodded again, not quite sure what she was expressing.

"Does Qin Ao know about this?"

Shui Huaizhu asked, but before she finished speaking, the little girl shook her head in panic and nervousness.

"No, you can't tell Big Brother."

"Why can't you tell Qin Ao? Did your father threaten..."

Before she could finish her question, Qin Li turned around and ran away, refusing to look back despite Shui Huaizhu's screams.

"Little Li!"

Shui Huaizhu frowned tightly, wanting to chase into the house, but after walking two steps, she endured it.

She has nothing to do with the Qin family. If she rushed in and accused Qin's father, it might backfire and cause unnecessary disputes.

But, how could Qin Ao not know about this?
