A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 46 The Talent of the Straight Man

Qin Dajiang looked at Qin Yingxue with a big smile as he said this: "It has to be my sister. This is the first time I've seen the cold and aloof Song Yanchuan like a girl. He even couldn't wait to bring his aunt to arrange the marriage, afraid that you would run away!"

"Second Brother..." Qin Yingxue blushed deeply at Qin Dajiang's words.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Seeing Qin Yingxue's shyness, Qin Dajiang felt in a good mood for some reason.

He was truly afraid that Qin Yingxue had only agreed to the marriage out of desperation, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yingxue seemed to be thinking about this. So, Jiang Linlin likes Song Yanchuan.

She loved Song Yanchuan but couldn't have him, so she transferred her hatred onto herself.

But she was the one who chose Xie Guodong in the first place. Now that she has the advantage of being reborn, if she really likes Song Yanchuan, shouldn't she do her best to turn the tide and help him avoid this disaster?

Jiang Linlin definitely has other motives!

Unfortunately, she couldn't guess it right away.

Well, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Yingxue, don't worry, I'll handle Jiang Linlin!" Qin Dajiang reassured Qin Yingxue when he saw her deep in thought.

"Okay!" Qin Yingxue readily agreed. She was happy to have some free time, and most importantly, she wanted to see if Jiang Linlin would leave Qin Village as Qin Dajiang had said.

When I got back to my room, it was already past ten o'clock.

Qin Yingxue lay down on the bed, and for some reason, Qin Dajiang's words came to mind.

If Song Yanchuan is truly special to her, as Qin Dajiang claims, and it was love at first sight or something like that.

But love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight...

With mixed feelings, Qin Yingxue drifted off to sleep, and when she woke up it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

She got up, dressed, and washed her face. Just as she finished washing her face, she saw Jiang Linlin coming back from outside, chatting and laughing intimately with Qin Dahai.

Upon seeing Qin Yingxue, Qin Dahai paused, an awkward expression appearing on his face.

Jiang Linlin also noticed Qin Yingxue, her face beaming with smiles as she greeted her naturally, "Yingxue, wake up! Are you hungry? I've cooked porridge and made some pancakes in the kitchen, eat them while they're hot!"

Qin Yingxue did not respond, her eyes fixed on Jiang Linlin's face.

Jiang Linlin remained poised and allowed Jiang Linlin to look her over, a smile playing on her lips.

But what happened next surprised Qin Yingxue. Xie Guodong actually helped Qin Jiasheng out of the house, looking very filial.

Although Qin Jiasheng's body was stiff, he did not resist.

"Dad, you're awake! Guodong, hurry up and take Dad to have breakfast. I'll go see if Mom is up yet!" Jiang Linlin said, and then said something to Qin Dahai, who nodded awkwardly.

Jiang Linlin ran towards the main house with a big smile on her face.

Soon, Jiang Linlin came out of the house arm in arm with Li Hehua, her face full of affection. Li Hehua had a stern face, and her expression was unreadable.

The family sat together eating breakfast in silence, except for Jiang Linlin's chatter to lighten the mood, interspersed with Xie Guodong's occasional agreement.

This was the first time Qin Yingxue had realized that Xie Guodong actually had a talent for being a straight man.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable throughout the meal, Qin Yingxue made an excuse to leave as soon as she finished eating.

When Qin Yingxue returned from her stroll outside, she saw Jiang Linlin smiling broadly, either massaging Li Hehua's shoulders and back, or Xie Guodong fawningly packing tobacco for Qin Jiasheng and respectfully lighting it for him with both hands...

Qin Yingxue frowned, feeling that things had exceeded her expectations.

She intended to go back to her room, but instead turned around and walked towards the village entrance. A short while later, she saw Qin Dajiang and Qian Xiaofeng returning, pulling a whole cart of bricks and tiles, their foreheads covered in sweat.

"Yingxue..." Qin Dajiang stopped and asked, panting, when he saw Qin Yingxue at the village entrance, "What are you doing here?"

“I waited specifically for my second brother,” Qin Yingxue replied.

"Then you two siblings chat, I'll deliver the bricks and tiles first," Qian Xiaofeng said tactfully.

Qin Yingxue nodded to him, and only after watching him walk away did she look at Qin Dajiang.

"Because of Jiang Linlin?" Qin Dajiang frowned as he spoke. "I went to see her first thing this morning and asked her to leave. But Jiang Linlin begged me to give her some time to say goodbye to everyone. She hasn't left yet?"

"Second brother, it seems that Mom and Dad have been appeased by Jiang Linlin and her husband," Qin Yingxue said truthfully.

"Foolish!" Qin Dajiang was furious upon hearing this. "Mom and Dad are so easily swayed! No, I have to go back and check on them..."

Before Qin Dajiang could finish speaking, he was already in a hurry to find Jiang Linlin.

"Second Brother..." Qin Yingxue quickly called out to her, "I came to find you because I wanted you to stop interfering."

"Are you just going to let her keep everyone at home? What about the grievances you suffered yesterday?" Qin Dajiang said with a face full of disapproval. "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Second brother, have you thought about why Jiang Linlin is not well received in the Qin family, yet she still chooses to stay?" Qin Yingxue reminded him.

"You mean she has other intentions?" Qin Dajiang frowned even more.

Qin Yingxue nodded: "If she really has an ulterior motive, driving her away won't solve the problem. In that case, we might as well keep an eye on her and see what kind of trouble she's up to."

"But..." Qin Dajiang wanted to say something, but Qin Yingxue interrupted him.

"It'll only be a few days! Song Yanchuan will be back tomorrow, and then Jiang Linlin's true colors will be revealed," Qin Yingxue said confidently.

Qin Dajiang instantly understood the meaning behind Qin Yingxue's words.

Indeed, why did Jiang Linlin insist on staying in the Qin family? Was it because she had deep feelings for the Qin family?

Stop it!

After learning her true identity, Jiang Linlin didn't stay another night and went to Qing City with Cai Lihua.

Such a heartless and ungrateful person! Your parents are truly foolish!

Qin Yingxue kept persuading Qin Dajiang to pretend nothing had happened and to continue working.

But when evening came and he saw his whole family, even his wife and daughters, laughing non-stop at Jiang Linlin's antics, Qin Dajiang finally lost his temper and slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"Dajiang, what are you doing?" Qin Jiasheng glared at his second son with displeasure.

"Dad, who was so angry last night that they couldn't speak? Have you forgotten already?" Qin Dajiang asked Qin Jiasheng angrily.

Qin Jiasheng's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "Linlin has lived in our family for eighteen years after all. She is a bit willful, but she has a good heart. Dajiang, no matter what, she is still your sister, you can't be biased."

"I'm biased?" Qin Dajiang laughed in anger, looking at Li Hehua, "Mom, do you think so too?"

Li Hehua sighed, "Linlin just wanted to attend Yingxue's wedding, which only lasts a few days. Will we all have a chance to see each other again after that..."

"Jiang Linlin, you're not still thinking about Song Yanchuan, are you?"
