Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Shen Qiubai watched a good show and planned to come out to say hello, but Xia Qingqing was more perceptive than he thought and had already spotted him.

"Hello, I'm Shen Qiubai. I just happened to be passing by here. I didn't mean to look... ahem."

Shen Qiubai explained, but found that Xia Qingqing looked at him in a very strange way, with surprise, pity, melancholy, gratitude and regret, which made him feel sad.

"Hello, I'm Xia Qingqing."

Xia Qingqing forced herself to calm herself. She didn't expect to see Shen Qiubai so soon. In her previous life, she had killed all her enemies and wanted to die. She was tired of living and just wanted to reunite with Xiaoyu as soon as possible.

But her only regret was that she was unable to repay Shen Qiubai.

Shen Qiubai's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he coughed from time to time. He must have been injured not long ago. Now that she had the elixir space, she would definitely be able to cure him.

"Miss Qingqing, I am Shi Tieniu!"

Shi Tieniu waited for a long time but Shen Qiubai didn't introduce him, so he had to introduce himself. He really liked Xia Qingqing's ruthlessness and straightforwardness, which really suited his temper.

"Hello."

Xia Qingqing smiled. She knew that Shi Tieniu was loyal to Shen Qiubai, but he was also his lifelong pain.

In his previous life, when Shen Qiubai was hunting down bad elements in the gear hobbing machine factory, Tie Niu sacrificed his life to protect him. He was only 19 years old.

Shen Qiubai felt very guilty. He took on the responsibility of taking care of Shi Tieniu's parents, but it still could not offset the regret in his heart because he had lost his best brother forever.

In her previous life, Xia Qingqing was not familiar with Shen Qiubai before she went to prison. On the contrary, after she went to prison, Shen Qiubai often came to visit her. He would tell her about things outside and about his own things. That's why Xia Qingqing knew how much of a blow Shi Tieniu's sacrifice had been to him.

Before Tie Niu got into trouble, he accompanied Shen Qiubai every time he visited him in prison, and Xia Qingqing also had a good impression of him. In this life, she must find a way to save Shi Tie Niu.

Xiaoyu hid timidly behind Xia Qingqing, looking at Shen Qiubai and the other person curiously. Shi Tieniu grinned at him, and his big square mouth looked a little scary. Xiaoyu was so scared that he hid behind his sister's back, but soon he stuck his head out again and looked at Shi Tieniu secretly.

This brother’s mouth is so big, even bigger than a hippo’s mouth. Can he swallow a big watermelon in one bite?

Xia Qingqing had taken him to the zoo before, and Xiaoyu saw with his own eyes a hippopotamus swallowing a large watermelon in one gulp, which shocked him. So Xiaoyu thought that the hippopotamus had the biggest mouth in the world.

Shen Qiubai sensed Xiaoyu's curiosity and smiled at the little guy. Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled too. His sister said that he should respond politely when others smile at him and should not be impolite like Xiaoyu.

"I have something else to do, bye!"

Shen Qiubai did have something to do, he had to go inspect the workshop.

"goodbye!"

Xia Qingqing smiled slightly. She also had something to do. She had to go to her good mother Xu Manru to collect a debt.

"Goodbye Miss Qingqing!"

Shi Tieniu waved his hand and left with Shen Qiubai.

Xia Qingqing took Xiaoyu upstairs. The Xia family lived on the third floor. At this time, Xia Qingshan, Xia Ling and Xia Tao were all at work, and only Xu Manru was at home.

20-year-old Xia Ling operates a crane in a gear hobbing machine factory. She is only a temporary worker and earns yuan a month.

22-year-old Xia Tao works as a lathe operator in a nearby machinery factory as a regular employee.

Xu Manru never worked and was raised by her grandfather at home. Later, she hooked up with her biological father, Xia Mingyuan, a playboy.

Although most of the Xia family's property was confiscated, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Xia Mingyuan had enough money to allow her to live a good life.

After Xu Manru became pregnant, the situation became increasingly tense. Xia Mingyuan was the third young master of the Xia family and was a show-off who was to be brought down. Xu Manru was afraid of being implicated, so she refused to marry Xia Mingyuan and instead threw herself into the arms of Xia Qingshan.

Xia Qingshan was a capable member of the Revolutionary Committee at that time. He was doing very well and his wife had just died. The young and beautiful Xu Manru took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Even though she was pregnant, Xia Qingshan was completely bewitched by her.

Xu Manru also took Xia Qingshan to search for treasures in Xia Mingyuan's house, showing her determination to break up with Xia Mingyuan. Xia Qingshan was cruel and vicious, and wanted to kill Xia Mingyuan. It was her grandfather who secretly tipped off Xia Mingyuan, and Xia Mingyuan escaped from Shanghai and saved his life.

These past events were told by Grandpa and Xia Qingqing. She lived with Grandpa until she was eight years old. After Grandpa passed away, she was taken back by Xu Manru.

The time she lived with her grandfather was the happiest time for Xia Qingqing.

My grandfather was a kind-hearted Chinese medicine practitioner who used to work in the Xia family's pharmacy. During the war, the Xia family's direct branch sold their property and went to Hong Kong, while Xia Mingyuan and his aunt stayed in the inland. Later, his aunt died of illness, leaving Xia Mingyuan alone.

In her previous life, Xia Qingqing had never seen Xia Mingyuan. She had been in prison for fifteen years, but Xia Mingyuan never came to see her once. I guess he felt ashamed.

Her grandfather told her that Xia Mingyuan had no opinion of his own, was lazy, and could not endure any hardship. His only advantage was that he had a good-looking appearance and charmed many girls.

In this life, Xia Qingqing had no plans to recognize her relatives with the Xia family. It would be best if the Xia family did not provoke her. If they dared to come, she would definitely show no mercy.

A cold light flashed in Xia Qingqing's eyes. She exerted force on her hands and felt the warm and soft hand in her palm. She felt at ease.

"elder sister?"

Xiaoyu looked up, her voice soft, Xia Qingqing let go of her hand and smiled, "Eat cake."

She opened the paper bag wrapping the egg cake, took a piece of cake and fed it into Xiaoyu's mouth. The little guy puffed up his cheeks and chewed, looking cuter than a hamster. Xia Qingqing couldn't help but pinch his cheeks gently a few times.

He was too thin, with not much flesh on his face, and it felt like bones when you pinched it. Xia Qingqing stuffed all the egg cake into Xiaoyu's hands and let him eat it himself.

They had already reached the third floor. There were stoves all over the corridor, no one was there, and many doors were closed.

Most people are at work at this time, but Xu Manru must be taking a nap at home. She must ensure ten hours of sleep every day to maintain her youthful appearance.

Xu Manru, who is only 37 years old, has a graceful figure and beautiful face. She looks to be in her thirties at most. When she walks in the factory, she often attracts the attention of men, while women call her a vixen behind her back.

The door of the Xia family's room was closed, and Xia Qingqing knocked hard on it.

"Who?"

Xu Manru's tone was very bad.

"I!"

Xia Qingqing slapped her a few more times, which made Xu Manru completely sleepless. She opened the door with a sullen face and said angrily, "You're already married, why are you back? And what made you so crazy at the Yang family? Your parents-in-law came to make trouble this morning and took away the betrothal money. What did you do..."

Xu Manru's scolding stopped abruptly. Xia Qingqing grabbed her neck, dragged her into the house, and asked Xiaoyu to close the door.

"It has nothing to do with you, eat cake."

Xia Qingqing smiled at the frightened Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu nodded, ate the cake obediently, and no longer cared about Xu Manru.

He only likes his sister at home, and everyone else is a bad person.

"Xia Qingqing, why are you so mad? I am your mother, you disobedient and unfilial beast, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Her neck was loosened and Xu Manru started cursing. She finally believed what Old Man Yang said.

"If Xia Qingshan knew that you had hooked up with Xia Tao two years ago, do you think he would kill you?"

Xia Qingqing told a secret, and the blood color on Xu Manru's face disappeared immediately.
