Chapter 71: Taking the Initiative
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because it was an urgent matter and Cheng Haizhong was pleading, Qin Xi agreed after thinking for a while.
Not only did she have to go to Yangyuan County, but she also had to go to Luoping City to buy talisman papers. If the evil spirit in Xiao Caiyun’s body was not removed as soon as possible, her days were numbered.
However, Han Dazhu was worried about Qin Xi going alone. He wanted to go with her, but Qin Xi refused.
“Grandpa, we still need you to sell the vegetables. If you don’t know how to settle the account, find the stall owner next to us. She’ll help you.”
“I’m worried about you going alone,” Han Dazhu said.
Qin Xi’s heart warmed. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you know what I’m capable of. No one can hurt me.”
“But you’ve never taken such a long trip…”
Han Dazhu was still very worried, especially since Qin Xi was quite good-looking. If she encountered hooligans who had designs on her, no matter how capable she was, she was no match for so many evil hearts.
However, what Han Dazhu did not know was that no one knew what evil was more than Qin Xi.
Liu Dequan laughed heartily and said, “Brother Han, you worried too much? Since I have nothing to do, I’ll go with Xi. Don’t worry. I’ve been to Yangyuan County several times and am very familiar with that place. I can take good care of Xi.”
“Besides, Xi still has to treat Shuan Zi’s wife and needs to go to the city to buy stuff. Ming is in the city. I can pay him a visit too. It’ll be fine.” Liu Dequan’s son was called Liu Ming. He had settled down in Luoping City.
Qin Xi’s eyes lit up. “Yes, let Grandpa Liu go with me. That way, you should be relieved, right?”
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Brother Liu to take care of my granddaughter-in-law.” With Liu Dequan around, Han Dazhu was relieved.
Cheng Haizhong promised, “Uncle Han, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Miss Qin.”
When Han Shi found out that Qin Xi was leaving, he kicked up a fuss, asking Qin Xi to bring him along. Qin Xi had no choice but to promise to come back in three days and buy him delicious snacks.
Han Shi still refused to quiet down, afraid that Qin Xi would never come back again.
Qin Xi’s face darkened. “Stone, didn’t you promise me yesterday that you’ll be a good boy? Why are you being so naughty today?”
When she pulled a long face, Han Shi was immediately at a loss as to what to do. His handsome face was filled with panic, and his pitiful look made Qin Xi’s heart soften.
She sighed. She looked at everyone and said, “I have something to say to Stone. I’ll come out later.”
Liu Dequan laughed and said, “Oh, right, I have to go back and tell my wife too.”
“Alright, I’ll go pick some vegetables for Cheng…”
Qin Xi and Han Shi walked into the house one after another. Just as Luo Xiujuan was about to follow them, Han Dazhu stopped her.
“Xiujuan, come with me to pick vegetables.”
Luo Xiujuan looked at the two of them worriedly. “But Dad, Stone…”
Han Dazhu waved his hand and said, “Let the young people settle their own problems. Let’s not get involved.”
Luo Xiujuan thought for a moment and felt what he said was right. She began to stuff the vegetables into Cheng Haizhong’s car.
Because Cheng Haizhong had two extra passengers, the car wasn’t as packed with vegetables as last time. He could not help but let out a long sigh. These vegetables could hardly last two days. What should he do after finishing them all? Did he have to make a long trip over again?
On the other side.
Qin Xi took the initiative to hold Han Shi’s hand and said gently, “Stone, I promise you that after you recover, I’ll bring you with me wherever I go. How about that?”
“But I really want to go with you.” Han Shi lowered his head and said unhappily.
Seeing that he looked like an abandoned puppy, Qin Xi felt an itch in her heart. She stood on her tiptoes and landed a kiss on his cheek.
