Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 94 Bad News

In the evening, in the Lin family courtyard.

"Daddy~"

Holding the book in his arms, Arunong staggered into the house and saw Lin Qin who was packing his luggage.

"Dad, are you leaving?"

"No, daddy is going out for a few days." Lin Qin reached out and touched Zhi'er's forehead, and said softly, "How about waiting for daddy to come back and bring Alu's favorite toys?"

"I want to go with daddy."

Alu hugged Lin Qin's thigh and looked at the little hair on the child's head. Lin Qin couldn't help but sigh slightly...

···
"Father, take another sip of medicine. If you are like this, it will be difficult for An Caiquan to know."

Yuan Jun, the eldest son of the Yuan family, personally served Old Man Yuan with a medicine bowl and drank the medicine. Everyone in the room retreated.

Old Yuan was leaning on the bedside, looking at the yellowing branches and leaves outside the half-open window. He couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eyes, and took a deep breath:

"I know that he has always been upright, and I have also told him that things that are hard and easy to break, even the court can't do anything about, why should he... hurt my son... cough cough cough!"

Taking a deep breath, Old Yuan's face suddenly turned red. Seeing this, Yuan Jun quickly helped Old Mrs. Yuan and patted her back gently. When Old Yuan's expression softened a little, Yuan Jun continued:
"Father, I came here to tell you this the day before yesterday, not to upset you. Besides, my sister and An Cai's child..."

"Yes! Pingting's child..."

Old Yuan seemed to have been reminded of something. Fortunately, Yuan Jun understood what his father wanted to say and said: "The child has been arranged to cross the river by Qingyan. I will go and pick him up in two days. By then, the second child will also be here." Let’s go and pick him up together.”

"Qingyan..."

Old Yuan thought about his other disciple who also stayed in Jiangbei, and his eyes were full of worry.

He still remembered that night, Lin Qin, whom he had accepted as his closed disciple, told him firmly under the candlelight: "Senior Brother Qingyan said that he has found his way."

Old Yuan felt very sad every time he thought of this.

The road upstream to reach heaven was full of thorns, but as a teacher, he could do nothing.

"When the child arrives, your mother won't be able to hide the matter between Pingting and Ancai..."

Old man Yuan murmured and stretched out his hand. Yuan Jun immediately presented the medicine bowl and said: "Yes, father, even for mother, you can't stay sick like this."

Early the next morning, Mei Qian went to the Lin family's house on the edge of the bamboo forest. The small courtyard was not big. In the courtyard, Mrs. Bai was sitting in the courtyard as if doing some embroidery work. Little Douding was sitting there quietly reading a book.

The whole house seemed a little deserted.

"Aunt Lin."

Mei Qian held Qiuli Gao and shouted at the door. Bai looked up and saw that it was Mei Qian, so she quickly got up and opened the door, letting Mei Qian go into the yard to talk.

"This is the autumn pear paste that my sister-in-law made yesterday. I specially brought this autumn pear paste to you this morning."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot about this, so I asked you to come and see me off. Sit down quickly and rest for a while."

Bai took the pottery pot from Mei Qian's hand, asked Mei Qian to sit and wait for a while, and then entered the kitchen.

"It's okay, it's a two-step process."

When Mei Qian shook her head, the little boy next to her had already brought a small stool from nowhere. Mei Qian looked at him holding the stool and swayed around, and quickly helped to pick it up.

"Auntie, what is this brother's name?"

Mei Qian has never been able to resist well-behaved children.

"My nickname is 'Alu', and my big name is Ting Hui." Bai came out of the kitchen, carrying a pot of hot tea and a cup. She raised her hand and poured a cup of hot water for Mei Qian.

After taking the hot tea, Mei Qian found that there were two jasmine flowers in the hot water.

"Auntie is so elegant."

"No, I used to grow a lot of jasmine flowers in the courtyard of my house, and I picked them, dried them, and kept them. Suddenly I saw this, so I brought them here, just to think about the past."

Bai Shi inadvertently felt a trace of sadness between her brows. Mei Qian took a sip of the refreshing scented tea. Thinking that she had accidentally caused this, she changed the subject and said, "Auntie, this yard is also empty. You can wait until spring starts." Plant some jasmine flowers.”

"Yes. There are only three of us in this house now, so it does seem a bit empty."

Mei Qian remembered that Bai's husband, Mei Qian, had never met her family before. However, in the past two days, he sometimes passed by her door to fetch water and had a look. Indeed, as her grandma heard from Mrs. Yuan, he was quite bookish.

Thinking of this, Mei Qian noticed that Bai's husband was not at home this early in the morning. He glanced at the shed in the corner of the yard and saw that the Lin family had a black donkey and was not there either. Why did he look at this person? The man of the house felt like he was away from home every three days.

"This place is remote. In addition to planting flowers and other things, Auntie can also keep a dog to look after the house and the yard."

Seeing the mother and son at home, Mei Qian couldn't help but make another suggestion in her heart. After hearing this, Bai looked down at Alu, who was already attracted by the word "dog raising".

Thinking that Lin Qin has not been at home these days, it seems that the house is indeed a little empty, which makes people feel a little scared at night.

"Aru still wants to keep a raccoon slave!"

Xiao Zaizai was very interested in raising pets once he mentioned it. Bai Shi also took this matter into her heart and nodded to Mei Qian to express her gratitude.

Mei Qian had a cup of jasmine tea at the other party's house before leaving. When she got home, Mei Qian suddenly remembered that she had not told anyone about the Yuan family just now!

No, just as she thought this, she saw Cui'er coming to look for her after hearing the noise.

Cui'er had already prepared the two cans of Qiuli ointment for the Yuan family early in the morning, and planned to ask Mei Qian about the situation.

"Ah...forgot to ask."

Mei Qian blushed.

The gentle aura of Bai's body is really hard not to make people feel at ease. When she meets a gentle and quiet family, drinks a cup of fragrant tea, and chats, Mei Qian is completely relaxed. Forgot.

Cui'er couldn't help but feel disappointed, and hesitated: "Why don't you come directly to the house and ask? I should..."

Before Cui'er could finish her words, a quarrel suddenly broke out at the door of his courtyard.

"Old Mrs. Mei! Open the door! I am that, that third wife of Yuan!"

Mrs. Mei was weeding in the vegetable field behind when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She had just arrived in the front yard. Before she could ask questions, she saw the third daughter-in-law of the Yuan family had already entered the yard.

Mei Qian, who opened the door in the past, was also confused. Wang called her "brother", but in fact, she walked towards Cui'er with accurate aim.

"Good girl, come to my house quickly and show my old lady! My mother-in-law fainted early in the morning..."

Cui'er was pulled out of the yard by Wang before she could react.

Mrs. Mei took two steps forward and asked Mei Qian. Mei Qian knew that her mother was anxious, so she supported her mother, closed the yard at home, and went to Yuan's house together.

Along the way, Wang walked in front and kept talking. By this time, Mei Qian and others knew what was going on at the door of Yuan's house.

This time, Mrs. Yuan also fell.

It was not that Old Yuan was overcoming the illness, but that early in the morning Old Mrs. Yuan suddenly learned that her daughter and son-in-law who had not been able to cross the river had died in Jiangbei...

We will talk about Jiangbei later...
