I insist

Chapter 21: Threat

Yu Huailin found it extremely amusing. Qiu Tianlei, who had just been eager to befriend him and call him brother, suddenly became sullen as soon as Song Shi left.

I don't know if they knew that the Song family would be held back by those two children, or if they were just really impatient.

"Do you still remember why I bought you in the first place?!"

Yu Huailin nodded somewhat fearfully. Qiu Tianlei didn't know if he was amused by Yu Huailin's appearance or what, because although his tone was still fierce, at least he didn't seem as eager to attack as before.

"I didn't expect you could actually win my mother's favor. But since that's the case, you'd better stay here quietly! I'll let you off the hook this time, but if you do anything else that implicates my family, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

If Qiu Tianlei had known he would be a burden when he bought him, he would never have been so greedy for such a cheap deal.

Now that his own mother has taken a liking to this person, it's too late to kick him out.

Qiu Tianlei could only say that this man was truly skilled!

Yu Huailin nodded. "I know I've implicated you all in this, but there's been a misunderstanding. I have no power or influence, and I have no way to explain."

Yu Huailin didn't know why he had said that extra sentence. Maybe it was to stay? After all, the way this family got along and the woman's secrets were really intriguing.

He had nowhere else to go, and gathering evidence couldn't be done in a short time.

It's better to stay here.

Qiu Tianlei didn't want to hear his explanation.

"It's no use telling me all this! I don't need your explanation! Just stay put and don't cause any more trouble for our family! Otherwise, even at the risk of being misunderstood, I will personally take you to the authorities!"

When Qiu Tianlei said this, his expression was extremely fierce, making him look like a ruthless person.

But Yu Huailin had a vague feeling that he probably didn't have that kind of courage.

The reason I said this is probably just to give myself a warning.

If Yu Huailin wanted to stay here peacefully, he knew what kind of person he should pretend to be.

"I understand. If there's nothing else, I won't go out, and I certainly won't let anyone see me."

"Don't think that I've accepted you because I've done all this! If it weren't for the fact that your mother likes you, someone like you who can't lift a finger, I wouldn't have kept you in our house to eat for free!"

Although Qiu Tianlei himself was incompetent, his family really couldn't help the person in front of him in any way.

He can't even do the most basic thing like chopping wood. Keeping someone like that around is a waste of food!

Of course, Yu Huailin didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Qiu Tianlei's blind filial piety wasn't necessarily wrong; it was just that he was confused.

But if he was so filial, why didn't he realize that his own mother had already been replaced?

Or was it because Song Miqiu's acting skills were so good that he fooled them all?

But no matter how you look at it, this whole thing is undeniably interesting.

What secrets does the Qiu family hold that warrant such a huge investment of effort and time in their preparation?

For the first time, Yu Huailin felt that this small, remote village was not as simple as he had imagined.

Now that he's already here, he'll definitely try to figure out the ins and outs if he gets the chance.

After all, he wasn't someone who was willing to be harsh on himself. Since he wanted to know the truth, he decided to try to find out.

If there's really no other way, then giving up won't cause any loss.

Qiu Tianlei had no idea how terrifying this seemingly weak and easy-to-bully man was in reality!

Although most of the things recorded on the bounty poster were false or even exaggerated, one thing was true: to Yu Huailin's enemies, he was indeed an extremely dangerous person!

Otherwise, how could they have been harmed and ended up in this state?

After resolving his own worries, Qiu Tianlei left. Meanwhile, Song Miqiu, who had left much earlier, finally saw the two little ones.

"Xiaobai, Xiaoshuang! You're awake?"

"grandmother!"

Now, the two little ones have long since lost their fear of their grandmother. Grandma is wonderful now! She not only makes them new clothes, but she's also very gentle with them! She no longer makes them do chores they're not capable of doing.

The two little ones are now closer to Song Miqiu than to their own parents!

Seeing the two little ones rushing towards her barefoot, Song Miqiu immediately felt sorry for them and wrapped one arm around each of them.

If it weren't for the fact that he never felt uncomfortable fighting or arguing with the people in the village, it would probably have aroused suspicion if he hadn't been carrying two children with his bare hands at his age.

However, this did not prevent Tian Yumei from being frightened.

"You two little rascals, get down here right now! What if you fall and hurt Grandma?"

Now that her mother-in-law treats her much better, Tian Yumei naturally starts to consider her mother-in-law's feelings as well.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaobai and Qiu Xiaoshuang realized that their behavior was inappropriate, so they struggled to get out of his arms.

"Grandma, you've worked so hard. Please sit down and have a glass of water!"

The best thing in their house was sweet soup, but it wasn't something the two children could reach. So they could only laboriously pour a bowl of water and then stagger to Song Miqiu's side.

Song Miqiu didn't stop them. This was the two little ones' filial piety, and their intentions were good, so there was no need to stop them.

Song Miqiu genuinely liked them, so naturally she would educate them well.

It does them no harm to learn filial piety and responsibility from a young age.

Taking the bowl of water, which was already more than half-spilled, Song Miqiu drank it all up under the expectant gazes of the two little ones.

"The water you two poured is sweeter than sugar water! It really sweetened Grandma's heart!"

Seeing the two little ones covering their mouths and giggling, Song Miqiu didn't feel embarrassed at all that she was saying such things with her wrinkled face.

He quietly reached into his wide sleeve, bought two pieces of candy from the store, and pulled them out like a magician.

"Look! Grandma brought you some good things on this trip! But you can't eat too much of these, or your teeth will rot."

Children's minds are simple, especially in families like theirs. Just two pieces of candy were enough to make the two little ones very happy.

Song Miqiu's heart, which had been agitated by these matters, now calmed down.
