Qin Lei finished cooking the noodles and added an egg on top before serving them to his elder brother and sister-in-law.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I cooked some noodles; just eat them to fill your stomachs for now.” Qin Lei placed the noodles in front of his elder brother and sister-in-law and spoke to them.
“Thank you, Lei, thank you, uncle.” Qin Chaoyang and Lin Cuiping both expressed their gratitude to Qin Lei in unison.
Indeed, they had lost their appetite since the incident had occurred. Only when they saw the noodles Qin Lei brought to them did they realize they were already starving.
After his elder brother and sister-in-law finished eating the noodles, Qin Lei cleared the bowls.
The fastest way to resolve the issue was to give the Lis US$ 500. However, this would let the Lis off too easily.
They weren’t willing to accept it. Li Kun was two-timing and still wanted the Qins to pay. Anyone would find it hard to swallow this matter.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, why don’t you go home and rest first? We’ll slowly think of a solution for this matter.” Qin Lei thought that sitting like this wasn’t a solution.
“Lei is right; let’s go home first.” Grandpa Qin spoke up.
“Alright, let’s go home.” Qin Chaoyang stood up and said.
After Qin Chaoyang and his family left, Qin Lei sat in the living room, staring at the sky, missing his wife.
“Achoo!” Nangong Shulan sneezed on the train.
“Mom, are you alright?” Qin Yu asked his mother, concerned that she might be catching a cold.
“I’m fine; someone must be cursing me.” Nangong Shulan rubbed her nose.
“It’s probably your elder daughter missing you.” Qin Yu wanted to say it was his foster father, Qin Lei, who was missing his mother, but fearing being scolded, he changed his words at the last moment, substituting “dad” with “elder sister.”
“The older she gets, the more clingy she becomes.” Nangong Shulan thought of her eldest daughter, who hardly clung to her. She used to be affectionate, but not clingy.
“I think my elder sister is great like this.” Qin Yu thought his elder sister was always the best.
“In your eyes, your elder sister has never had a bad moment.” Nangong Shulan replied after hearing her son’s words.
“Of course! Look who her little brother is.” Qin Yu had always thought Qin Xue was the best sister in the world.
Nangong Shulan was speechless as she looked at her son. It’s always been the older brother cherishing the younger sister, but in her family, it’s the younger brother cherishing the elder sister.
Chu Molin returned to the army after sending his mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law on the train. He was already back at work. As soon as he sent them off, he immediately immersed himself in his duties.
“Commander, we can close the net.” Qin Lang placed the files on the table and said to Chu Molin.
Chu Molin picked up the files and quickly looked through them.
“Do it, but be careful.” Chu Molin gave the order immediately after reading the files.
“Yes, I’ll inform them right away.” Qin Lang turned around and left the office.
Chu Molin glanced at the files in his hand, his thoughts drifting far away. Jing Xin, you must be well. Your wife and son are still waiting for you.
At home, Qin Xue cleared the tableware and read for a while before closing the book and going to sleep. Before sleeping, she noticed Chu Molin hadn’t come back yet and wondered what he was busy with at such a late hour. She left some warm dinner for him on the stove.
In reality, Chu Molin was just sitting in his office waiting for news.
“Commander, um, someone is injured.” Li Dabao didn’t know how to break the news to Chu Molin.
“Who’s injured?” Chu Molin immediately asked, hoping it wasn’t Jing Xin injured. Otherwise, how could he tell that lovely child: “Your father isn’t dead; he’s coming back.”
