So, Su Xiaoxue also told Qin Chi what she heard from Xiaofang about Su Lingling.

"I don't know if she really made money or was up to something?" Su Xiaoxue said uncertainly.

It would be fine if Su Lingling had done something wrong and brought trouble upon herself, but now she is dragging her uncle's family and many people in the village into this.

Su Lingling even asked Su Xiaoxue's parents to persuade them.

If it was true, it would be fine if everyone made money. But if it was false, there were not many people in the village, and each family did not have much savings. If she really cheated them all, things could be terrible.

Many people in the village are relatives within the fifth degree of kinship, and Su Xiaoxue doesn't want anyone to be deceived.

After hearing her say this, Qin Chi also started to worry about her.

He said, "If you are really worried, I will ask someone tomorrow. Logically, someone should know the way to do something so lucrative."

Su Xiaoxue originally wanted to complain to Qin Chi and didn't intend to bother him, so when she heard this, she was a little hesitant.

She asked, "Will this be very troublesome for you?"

After saying that, she corrected herself, "No, will it bother your friends? If it's too much trouble, then..."

"No trouble." Qin Chi said.

Afraid that Su Xiaoxue would not believe him, Qin Chi also explained the situation, "I am now making a little extra money with others, which can be considered an income. It is not easy. After all, there are many things that are controlled either loosely or strictly now. It is not easy for ordinary people to find such a way."

"Since your cousin said she could make so much money, she must have found a way. But without connections and money, it would be difficult to do this. So, if we investigate how she made money, it would be easy. After all, we are all in the same business."

What Qin Chi said made sense. Su Xiaoxue nodded but did not refute.

She also explained, "I am mainly worried that she has borrowed so much money from others, and she may borrow more and more. If she dies at that time, not only will she not be able to pay back the money, but everyone may have to live a harder life, or even not be able to bear it and become depressed!"

"Yeah, I know what you mean, don't worry."

After Qin Chi finished speaking, he patted her shoulder.

-

When Qin Chi went upstairs to wash up, Su Xiaoxue had already finished washing up.

She looked at Qin Chi and said, "You wash up first. I'll go check on the children. The three of them are sleeping in the same room today. I'm afraid they haven't covered themselves with blankets properly."

Xiaoguai and Xiaobao sometimes sleep with them, and sometimes sleep in a big room with their sister.

When it's cold, it's mostly Su Xiaoxue and her family who take care of the two little ones.

But today she planned to bring food to Qin Chi, and since the weather was getting warmer and not so cold, she let the child sleep with her sister.

Qin Chi nodded, "Well, go ahead!"

Walking to the child's room, Su Xiaoxue carefully opened the door.

Inside the house, there was only a dim light bulb flickering, which was left for the children to use when they got up at night.

There was a toilet in the room, and if they got up at night, they would relieve themselves there.

Su Xiaoxue walked in quietly and first looked at the brother and sister's small bed. Their quilts were covered tightly and were not uncovered.

The temperature inside the house was much warmer than outside, and Su Xiaoxue felt relieved.

Then she went to Huanhuan's bed again.

However, before she could get close, suddenly, a sobbing sound came from the direction of Huanhuan's bed.

"Mom~ um~ um..."

The child's voice was not loud, but Su Xiaoxue was close enough to hear it.

She was startled, thinking Huanhuan was still awake, and called out, "Huanhuan, you're still awake?"

The child did not respond. Through the dim light, Su Xiaoxue could vaguely see the child's figure, curled up on the bed, sobbing softly, like a kitten whimpering.

When Su Xiaoxue got closer to her bedside and could see her face more clearly, she saw crystal tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

Is this... a nightmare?

Su Xiaoxue hurried closer and saw Huanhuan with her eyes closed, but she was sobbing softly, and she could vaguely hear "Mom" and "Dad".

After hearing these words, Su Xiaoxue didn't know whether to go forward to comfort the child or step back.

The child was calling for mom and dad, but she didn't know who he was calling. She was afraid that if she went up rashly, it would wake the child up, which would be even worse.

But then, Huanhuan suddenly became excited again, "Go away, you are bad people, I have a father, I have a mother..."

This time, Huanhuan's voice was very clear. Su Xiaoxue stepped forward, patted her back gently, and murmured, "Huanhuan, don't be afraid, Huanhuan, don't be afraid..."

Huanhuan said a lot of things, and it seemed that she had a conflict with someone in her dream and was quarreling with him.

Su Xiaoxue patted her back and comforted her softly while listening to the contents of her dream.

Huanhuan gradually stopped crying as she was comforted, and then opened her misty eyes.

"Mom..." she shouted.

Su Xiaoxue looked at her eyes and knew that she was not fully awake and was still asleep.

She said "Hey", and when she stood up and hugged her, she also hugged her gently, patted her back, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom is here."

Huanhuan hummed, rubbed Su Xiaoxue's thigh, felt the warmth of her body, and then slowly fell asleep.

Looking at Huanhuan's movements, Su Xiaoxue felt a little worried.

This child has seen her biological parents and has very different feelings towards them. Plus, she has been sensitive since she was little, so maybe something happened to her or she has been thinking about it for a long time, so she expressed it in the form of a dream tonight.

When she returned to her room, Su Xiaoxue told Qin Chi about this, "I guess Huanhuan is unhappy about something, otherwise she wouldn't have had such a nightmare tonight."

This was not the first time she went to see the children after they fell asleep. She would go to see them once after the children fell asleep and before she went to bed. If she got up in the middle of the night, she would come to take a look to make herself feel more at ease.

Of course, Su Xiaoxue was not the only one doing this. Sometimes it was Qin Chi who went, and whoever the couple decided to go would go.

"How about this, when I send the kids to school tomorrow, I'll ask their teacher!"

After all, children spend the whole day studying, except when they are at home.

If something isn’t happening at home, it’s most likely happening at school.

Qin Chi nodded.

Then he said, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow!"

"No, I can go by myself. If so many parents go, even if nothing is wrong, they will think something is wrong. I'd better go and ask."

Qin Chi knew that Su Xiaoxue was thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything, remember to tell me."

"Ah."

Su Xiaoxue thought that she should not only ask the teacher, but also talk to Huanhuan.

Although the little girl was not as close to her as her biological mother, she liked her very much and told her a lot of things.

Thinking back to the expression on Huanhuan's face when she spoke to her at night, Su Xiaoxue finally realized that this was where the problem lay.
