Rebirth: My Brother Can Only Be Mine

A few days later, Qiao'er came excitedly again, and as soon as she arrived, she started chattering about the gossip in the village.

Lin Qing had completed his daily sword practice and was sitting on a tree stump watching the sunset.

Lin Huaijin was sitting next to him, very close to him, putting the finishing touches on a newly woven rattan chair.

Qiao'er habitually helped out, and seeing that she couldn't help here, she went to the kitchen to take a look, "Brother Xiaomu, what are you guys having for dinner?"

Lin Huaijin shook his head, "I haven't decided yet. What do you want to eat, brother?"

The setting sun looked like a salted duck egg. Lin Qing tilted his head and blinked, "Sweet potato leaves and salted duck eggs"

Lin Huaijin held his forehead with his hand: "Brother, we also ate sweet potato leaves the day before yesterday."

"It's delicious. I like it."

"Ok."

Qiao'er swiftly took a basket and picked a bundle of sweet potato leaves from the corner of the wall.

"Wang Ershi has not been so active recently, but he still often goes to visit Sister Xiulan to show his affection. If...Sister Xiulan marries him, that would be okay too?"

Qiao'er asked. She had privately asked Sister Xiulan about her opinion of Wang Ershi before. If she really hated him, she could help beat him every time she saw him until he was afraid and dared not come again.

However, Sister Xiulan shook her head and said that her family had indeed let him down in some way, and that her mother would definitely not be willing to return the gift money that their family had given her.

Everything will be fine after she saves up enough money for a few years and pays it off.

"I also asked Sister Xiulan a few days ago, and she said she wanted to work hard to make money to pay off the betrothal money she owed to Wang Ershi's family...

But she is alone, and she is raising Meihua. Her daily life is already very tight, and it is not easy for her to save money to pay off her debts. "

After a pause, she added indignantly, "Besides, she didn't take the money..."

"Yes, whoever took the money should pay it back." Lin Qing nodded seriously.

Although he has lost a lot of memories now, he also knows that he shouldn't take other people's mistakes on himself.

"Brother is right, Sister Xiulan should take care of herself first." Lin Huaijin echoed.

Qiao'er's hands slowed down as she picked the leaves. Her eyes became red. She had no choice but to lower her head and stare at the leaves, never daring to look up again.

She felt that meeting Brother Da Mu and Brother Xiao Mu was the greatest luck in her life.

If she had grown up according to the normal trajectory, she would have been beaten, scolded and oppressed.

They will be constantly taught that girls are useless and can only marry to repay their families. After marriage, they should work hard to serve their husbands and give birth to boys. If they give birth to girls, it is still useless and they will be beaten, scolded and spit on.

Before she met them, she numbly did work that seemed to never end every day, listened to scolding that seemed to last a lifetime, and accepted her own useless life.

Even Sister Xiulan's idea of ​​saving money to pay back money she had never even taken was deeply rooted in the hearts of these girls, as if this was how they should live their whole lives.

But why? Why?

Tears unexpectedly fell onto the back of her hand, wetting the vegetable leaves. Qiao'er did not cry when she had a debate with her mother last time because she was used to it.

She knew she couldn't beat her mother, so she got used to disappointment.

Lin Qing hurriedly comforted her, not knowing why she was crying.

Although Qiao'er cried, the corners of her mouth were trying to rise. She wiped away her tears quickly and embarrassedly, "I didn't cry, Fengsha squinted his eyes."

Lin Qing didn't believe it, "There was no wind just now."

"Oh, it was because the light was too bright. Anyway, I didn't cry."

"Oh."

Lin Qing thought about it, then took out his "candy" and gave it to Qiao'er.

Lin Huaijin held his forehead and laughed, and reluctantly stopped the "fourth-grade candy", "Brother, Qiao'er can't eat this candy, there are some medicinal ingredients in it that she can't bear."

"Oh." Lin Qing took the "candy" back obediently.

Lin Huaijin took out some real candy and handed it to Qiaoer, which he got from Grandma Feng.

Lin Qing looked at him in surprise, "This seems to be the candy I threw last time."

Lin Huaijin touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. His brother loved sweet food, and eating too much candy was not good for him, so he helped him "throw away" some of it and kept it for himself.

"No, Grandma Feng also gave it to me last time, but I kept it and didn't eat it." Lin Huaijin said guiltily.

"Oh." Lin Qing didn't quite believe it, but he didn't expose him.

Last time, Xiao Jin stopped him and said that he ate too much candy. The next day, some of his candy was missing. Xiao Jin also said that it might have been eaten by mice, which scared him so much that he moved the hiding place.

Lin Huaijin looked at his brother who was sitting on the bench and responding obediently but looking at him with a cold gaze, who obviously didn't believe him, and turned his head away guiltily.

He took out a few more candies and handed them to Qiaoer.

Qiao'er looked at the dozen or so candies in front of her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm thirteen years old, not three. Give it to Brother Damu." Qiaoer swallowed and saw that Brother Damu was staring at the candy in Brother Xiaomu's hand, and it was obvious that he wanted it very much.

"It's okay, there's still a lot." Lin Huaijin said. There were indeed quite a lot. His brother even saved a whole candy jar and thought he didn't know.

Anyway, if his brother ate too much, he would "borrow" some from his brother's sugar jar. Over time, he also saved up a sugar jar.

Qiaoer carefully took the dozen or so candies. She had only eaten a dozen or so candies in several years.

Ever since she could remember, she could only eat one or two candies during the Chinese New Year and other festivals every year. After her younger brother was born, she no longer had candies even during the Chinese New Year.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaomu, thank you, Brother Damu." Qiao'er held the candy in both hands and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"You're welcome," Lin Huaijin moved the polished rattan chair to the corner, picked up the vegetable leaves she had almost picked, and sat back on her bench to finish processing the remaining sweet potato leaves.

"Let Sister-in-law Xiulan and Wang Ershi worry about their own affairs. There is no need for you to take the responsibility." Lin Huaijin said.

"Yeah, I get it." Qiao'er peeled open a candy and squinted her eyes because of the sweetness. She was reluctant to throw away the candy wrapper, so she flattened it, folded it and put it in her pocket.

Qiaoer counted them and found there were thirteen left. She was thirteen years old this year, what a coincidence.

Lin Qing stopped looking at the sunset and lowered his head to continue drawing his moves.

While picking vegetables, Lin Huaijin said, "We're going on a long trip soon. You don't need to tell anyone about this. Just pretend you don't know."

"So when will you be back?"

"I don't know. Maybe he won't come back."

"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Qiaoer sighed, Qiaoer was sad.

If I had known earlier, I would not have eaten the candy just now, and I could have left an extra candy.

"As for Grandma Feng, after we leave, I'd like to trouble you to go over and help look after her occasionally. She's old, so if anything happens to her that's inconvenient, just lend a hand," Lin Huaijin instructed.

"Well, I heard from the villagers that Grandma Feng is very powerful. No one has dared to mess with her for so many years."

After Qiao Er finished speaking, she pursed her lips and looked worried, "Will I be able to see you again in the future?"

Qiaoer knew that these two brothers were not farmers and would not stay in the village forever, but she did not expect that the separation would come so soon.

"It depends on fate." Lin Huaijin didn't know if he would see her again in the future.

And if they couldn't break free from Old Dog Lin and were caught by Lin Yue before they could cure their brother, there might be no future for them.

"Okay." Qiao'er sniffed. She was as sad as she was happy when she got the candy just now.
