Chapter 95 Peace Talisman
Chapter 95 Peace Talisman
Once outside the military camp, Yang Weijun hesitated, following closely behind Qin Yingxue, his large eyes filled with fear.
Qin Yingxue pretended not to see it and led him towards Baisha Village.
Just as they arrived at the Bai family's house, they saw Bai Haijian sitting at the door, tidying up newly bought fishing nets. Upon seeing Qin Yingxue, he stood up with some surprise: "Auntie, you haven't rested?"
"Aren't you going out to sea tomorrow?" Qin Yingxue asked directly. "I've brought a playmate for Xiao Haifeng, so you don't have to worry about home while you're at sea."
Qin Yingxue pulled Yang Weijun out from behind.
Bai Haijian looked surprised, but when he saw that Yang Weijun was very thin, he seemed to understand something and nodded: "Auntie is so thoughtful. I was thinking that I would be at sea for at least a day and maybe a few days, and I didn't know how to arrange the sea breeze!"
"You don't need to worry about food. I'll make extra steamed buns and pickled vegetables and bring them over." When Qin Yingxue heard that Bai Haijian's return from the sea was uncertain, she had an idea. She bought a peace charm from the mall that looked just like the ones bought from ordinary temples and handed it to Bai Haijian. "This peace charm is for you. It will bless you with everything going smoothly and peacefully."
"Auntie, this is too precious!" Bai Haijian refused.
"Take this, I have more at home." Qin Yingxue stuffed it into Bai Haijian's hand without allowing him to refuse.
This peace charm is no ordinary item; it cost her a thousand yuan to buy, and it can turn danger into safety and truly ensure peace.
She had previously slipped a few bills into Song Yanchuan's luggage.
Upon hearing Qin Yingxue's words, Bai Haijian could only accept the gift and thanked her gratefully, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie! I will definitely return safely!"
After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she looked at Yang Weijun and asked, "Would you be willing to stay home with Bai's younger brother and keep him company when your older brother is not at home?"
Yang Weijun is too young now; she can't possibly exploit him as a child laborer by having him go to sea with her.
Moreover, after these two days of getting to know the Bai brothers, Bai Haijian is bold and hardworking, and although Xiao Haifeng is young, he is sensible and doesn't cry or make a fuss.
She wanted Yang Weijun to interact with them more and learn from their virtues. Over time, he would be subtly influenced and learn from them.
Of course, the main reason is that she only knows a few people here.
The problem cannot be solved simply by her taking Yang Weijun in; the biggest problem in his family needs to be addressed at its root.
These things will take time, so let's solve Yang Weijun's food and lodging problem first, and then think of another solution after she has rested.
Although Yang Weijun was only ten years old, he had grown up through hardship and was used to seeing people's faces. So when he saw the Bai brothers, he was naturally very willing and nodded quickly: "Yes, I'm willing. As long as you give me a steamed bun every day, I will definitely take good care of the Bai brothers..."
Upon hearing that they only needed one steamed bun a day, Bai Haijian understood immediately and reached out to pat Yang Weijun's head: "As long as we have something to eat, you won't go hungry."
Now that he has fishing nets and can go out to sea, he can naturally earn more money.
"Thank you, brother!" Upon hearing Bai Haijian's words, Yang Weijun couldn't help but grin, revealing a smile with two missing front teeth.
"Why don't you come back with me today and I'll bring you back tomorrow?" Qin Yingxue was indeed a little tired and couldn't help but yawn.
"Auntie, can I stay here today?" Yang Weijun asked Qin Yingxue cautiously.
Going back would only mean going hungry and getting beaten and scolded, so it's better to just stay here and avoid having to travel back and forth.
“Of course you can.” Before Qin Yingxue could answer, Bai Haijian laughed and said, “It’s perfect that Haifeng isn’t here right now. He’ll be happy to have a little brother to keep him company when he comes back. Auntie, you go back and rest first. I’ll take good care of them.”
"Okay, I'll head back now." Qin Yingxue nodded, went up and patted Yang Weijun's head, and gave him a few words of advice, "Stay here and don't worry, I'll tell your father that you're staying in Baisha Village."
Yang Weijun's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Yingxue waved goodbye, her mind still replaying Yang Weijun's bright, large eyes.
It turns out that Yang Weijun was unwilling to return to the countryside because he couldn't bear to leave Yang Hongbin and his father's side.
Qin Yingxue remembered that in her past life, Yang Hongbin burst into tears upon learning that Yang Weijun was going to be executed for robbing a bank, and a reporter took a picture of it...
It's unclear whether he cried because of his own negligence in disciplining his son, which led to the tragedy, or because his son had caused the end of his military career...
When they got home, Zhu Huiwen wasn't there; only the Wen siblings were sitting quietly in the yard, shelling beans.
Qin Yingxue greeted them, then washed up and went upstairs to sleep.
Almost as soon as she touched the bed, Qin Yingxue closed her eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
Qin Yingxue felt like she hadn't slept for long before she was awakened by a commotion outside.
She groggily opened her eyes and found that it was already dark outside the window. She raised her wrist and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Qin Yingxue, feeling weak all over, got up and was about to stretch when she heard a slightly familiar voice: "Don't think that just because you're Battalion Commander Song, you can do whatever you want in the military family compound. So young, why are you so eager to be a mother! You don't want to have children of your own, so you just pick up other people's children who are being raised with so much effort? Seriously, you've already taken in two children, you wouldn't be thinking of adopting my Yang Weijun too, would you? That's my Yang Hongbin's child, he wouldn't be willing to give him away..."
"You can't bear to part with him, so you just let him torment and abuse you? Not only is he starving, but he doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing to wear, and he even sleeps in the kitchen? Are you raising him like an animal? Is this how Company Commander Yang treats his own son?"
Qin Yingxue came downstairs and walked step by step into the courtyard, looking at the couple standing in front of her.
Yang Weijun's facial features are more like Yang Hongbin's, handsome and upright.
However, Yang Weijun's face only showed arrogance, while Yang Hongbin's face showed more vicissitudes and helplessness.
The father and son, though their faces were similar, had strikingly different expressions.
"Comrade Song, my husband Yang Weijun has caused you trouble," Yang Hongbin said, rubbing his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.
"Trouble? Who told her to be so kind? She brought this on herself..." Wu Suhua curled her lip, her face full of disdain.
"Shut up!" Yang Hongbin hissed from the side.
"You think you can just shut up like that? If you're so capable, make sure that brat never comes back. Then I'll respect you, Yang Hongbin, as a real man!" Wu Suhua was never afraid of Yang Hongbin. He was a big, burly man who couldn't even take care of himself without a woman, let alone with that burden.
"You..." Yang Hongbin's face turned red, and he raised his hand to slap Wu Suhua's face.
"Go ahead and hit me! Yang Hongbin, if you dare, hit me!" Wu Suhua wasn't afraid at all, and instead brought her face close to Yang Hongbin's.
With a "slap..." sound, Yang Suhua was slapped hard across the face.
