I insist

Chapter 35: Rumors

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu simply nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Before, she might have cared, but after learning about this man's true nature, Song Miqiu felt the same way as Qiu Tianlei, except that one wanted to tear him to pieces, while the other just wanted to stay far away from him.

"You've been out running around for a day and a night, go and rest! Remember not to say anything more to Yumei, just say that nothing happened."

Since I've already been acquitted, there's no need to talk about what happened before.

Song Miqiu finally got a good night's sleep at home, but when she woke up the next day, she found that everyone in the house was standing outside her door.

When Song Miqiu opened the door, she saw two adults and two children.

What are you doing?

Song Miqiu looked at them with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Qiu Xiaobai and Qiu Xiaoshuang had been eagerly wanting to rush in, and now that they saw their grandmother come out, they naturally rushed over without hesitation!

Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei, watching from behind, were on tenterhooks.

"Can't you two little rascals slow down a bit? Grandma's already exhausted from working all day and night, and you're still like this, aren't you afraid of making Grandma fall?"

As soon as Qiu Tianlei finished his reprimand, the two little ones obediently got off Song Miqiu.

"Nanny! Are you alright?"

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. What could possibly be wrong with Grandma? I'm standing right here, aren't I?"

Song Miqiu glanced at Qiu Tianlei with some disapproval, while Qiu Tianlei smiled ingratiatingly.

Tian Yumei also stepped forward to show concern, which made Song Miqiu feel warm and touched, but she was also a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere.

So he cleared his throat and announced something to everyone.

“I thought about it last night, and it seems that doing business this way is not very realistic. I also know why we were wronged. It’s simply because our sudden appearance disrupted the peace on that street, thus cutting off their source of income. This is indeed not right, and most importantly, it could easily lead to danger.”

Now that Song Miqiu had figured it out, since the dynasty he lived in was different, he naturally had to adapt to it.

She didn't have such grand ideals and ambitions, nor was she so arrogant as to think that she could change the atmosphere of an entire dynasty on her own.

He still has that much self-awareness.

Qiu Tianlei and his wife felt it was a bit of a pity, because recently they had been helping their mother set up the stall, and their income during this period was more than they usually earned in several months!

They were somewhat reluctant to give up such a way to make money.

And wasn't Song Miqiu the same?

However, this matter is beyond their control.

She escaped this time because that adult happened to be passing by.

But what if those same people target me again next time?

Song Miqiu didn't think he was lucky enough to escape death again.

If we stop now, those people probably won't hold a grudge about what happened before.

"It's settled then. I'm not discussing this with you. It's just that we have many other ways to make money. It doesn't matter if this one doesn't work. We're looking for other ways."

Song Miqiu's last words gradually calmed their hearts.

"We will listen to Mother."

"Yes! Mother's word is law!"

Song Miqiu finally smiled.

"Let's go, it's time for us to prepare for dinner."

Song Miqiu had no idea how Yu Mei had managed to feed the two children yesterday. If she wanted to, she would know that they must have eaten something tasteless and not enjoyed it.

So Song Miqiu personally cooked a lot of fresh and delicious food for them, which immediately livened up the atmosphere at home.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went back to their rooms to rest.

I've been busy preparing to sell cakes for the past few days, and I've put aside all my other work.

Now is a good time to take a break.

The day passed peacefully, and Yu Huailin still hadn't returned.

But after one night, Tian Yumei and Song Miqiu had already prepared breakfast early the next day, and the man suddenly returned as if he had smelled the aroma.

Song Miqiu held the bowl, unsure how to react. Her main concern was whether this man had some new plans after his trip.

She wasn't afraid of the hostility this person outwardly displayed; what she feared more was this person's constant nonchalance in the face of her.

The more unfathomable something is, the more dangerous it becomes.

"You're back. Sit down and have some food."

Song Miqiu didn't ask a single question about his sudden departure!

Yu Huailin also noticed the change in her attitude, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

On the contrary, Qiu Tianlei spent the entire breakfast time deliberately picking a fight!

Song Miqiu couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for him. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Huailin was currently unable to return to his rightful place, Qiu Tianlei would probably have died countless times already, given his behavior.

No, perhaps even death would be too easy for him!

Song Miqiu always felt that Yu Huailin was more likely to torment people to the point of wishing they were dead.

After breakfast, Song Miqiu couldn't stay idle at home.

"You all stay home today and don't go anywhere. I'll go out and see if there's any other work we can do."

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei are good at managing a household, but they don't have the business acumen to do so.

Song Miqiu was really unwilling to entrust such an important matter to them.

Most importantly, she didn't want to face that man at home.

Qiu Tianlei and the others knew that their mother was probably feeling a bit stifled while working in the county government office, so they naturally had no objections since she wanted to go out for a while.

But no one expected that Song Miqiu would return so quickly.

However, when he returned, his expression had become noticeably more serious.

"Mother, has something happened to you?"

Song Miqiu nodded, and then gathered the whole family in the main hall.

"I just went out and heard from those who went out that there are bandits running rampant recently, and they might be here soon."

"Robbers? Those might be some vicious thugs! What should we do?"

Tian Yumei hid in fear behind them; bandits were a nightmare for all the people.

"Don't panic, let me think of something. They haven't gotten here yet, so we still have plenty of time."

However, Song Miqiu stayed in her room until evening.

Song Miqiu only opened the door when Tian came to call her out for dinner, though she looked exhausted.

“I’ve done my research, and this place is definitely not safe. If those robbers come, we won’t have a chance to escape! So I think we should move our whole family to another city.”
