Chapter 990: Chapter 984: Sincerity_1
Fang Xiu stood aside watching the sisterly conversation. It was rare to see Qin Xue show such an expression. She indeed seemed to have moments of unease.
“Qin Xue, have you always disappointed your little sister before?” asked Fang Xiu jestfully.
“Er, let’s not bring up the past. Haven’t I changed a lot?” replied Qin Xue awkwardly. She wanted to say that she was not the one who had disappointed before. But now, she was Qin Xue. Therefore, she had no choice but to deal with the mess left by her previous self.
“Fine. I’ll trust you one more time. However, if you behave like before when Qin Su’E comes to you again, don’t blame me for ignoring you,” said Qin Jiale reluctantly, looking at her sister. She decided to forgive her once more.
“Alright, thank you Lele. Shall we stay or go home now?” Qin Xue, not having much to do here, was already contemplating going home.
“Let’s wait a little bit. Didn’t you want to get some whelks? We can check how many our aunt has caught. If there are any shrimps, we can catch some to fry and eat,” said Qin Jiale, expressing her craving for shrimp pancakes. She couldn’t grind the powder herself, so catching shrimps to fry was the next best option.
“Shrimps are delicious when cooked in porridge or made into shrimp pancakes,” reflected Qin Xue, as she had eaten them before. Most times when she had outdoor meals with her classmates, she was the one to do the cooking.
“I’d love to eat them, but I can’t grind the powder by myself,” confessed Qin Jiale.
“Isn’t your brother-in-law at home? How could he be left out of the labor-intensive tasks?” Qin Xue laughed at her sister’s words. It would be senseless not to use the available strength they had.
“Okay then, let’s see if there are any. If we find some, we’ll have your brother-in-law look after the children while we catch them,” Qin Jiale was relieved at her sister’s suggestion. She knew she wouldn’t go hungry if Qin Xue said she could cook.
“You go check. I’ll wait here with Yu Ze. If there are shrimps, come back with a bucket. With your brother-in-law’s help, I can look after the kids,” Qin Xue didn’t want to go over, fearing the crowd. She preferred to wait where she was.
“That works. Xiao Bao, go to your mom, while I check if there are any shrimps. If there are, we’ll cook something delicious for you when we get back,” said Qin Jiale, handing Xiao Bao over to her sister before heading to the pond.
“Qin Xue, your sister cares a lot about you. She’s just pretending to be tough. She always prioritizes you,” Fang Xiu observed Qin Jiale’s retreating figure and spoke to Qin Xue. She then sat down on a large rock and took a child from Qin Xue.
“Hehe, I know, that’s why I love to tease her,” responded Qin Xue, glancing at the child and watching her sister’s retreating figure with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid she might get really angry and ignore you?” inquired Fang Xiu, perplexed.
“No way. I can tell that everyone in this family genuinely cares about each other. Family members won’t get upset over minor things,” responded Qin Xue. Her understanding of psychology allowed her to gauge the sincerity in people’s hearts. Although she couldn’t be 100% accurate, she could get the general idea, which is why she felt so comfortable in this family.
