Chapter 61: Don’t be anxious about this matter!
Qin Ziling walked quickly all the way and soon arrived home.
Her mother, Cui, was weaving in the side room, while Yinranyue, whose body had not yet fully grown but whose graceful feminine curves were already evident, was washing clothes by the well.
Liu Xiaoqiang, a two-meter-tall man, was holding a broom and slowly sweeping the yard. His eyes were dull, and he looked like a walking corpse who had lost his soul.
Many times, Yin Ranyue looked up and said to Liu Xiaoqiang, "Brother Liu, leave it there, I'll clean it up later."
But Liu Xiaoqiang just said "Oh" and continued cleaning.
Seeing this, Yinranyue could only sigh quietly, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and was about to lower her head to continue washing clothes when she saw Qin Ziling appear at the gate of the courtyard with a sack in his hand.
Yin Ranyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly stood up, calling out with joy on her face, "Master, you're back," while swaying her slender waist and walking quickly towards him.
"Sir, didn't you go to the boxing gym today?" When Liu Xiaoqiang saw Qin Ziling coming back, his lifeless eyes finally had some light.
Qin Ziling smiled and nodded to Liu Xiaoqiang and Yin Ranyue, then handed the sack in his hand to Yin Ranyue and said with a smile: "I will go to the weaving room to see my mother first, and then talk to you. Ranyue, put this in the kitchen first, and I will deal with it later."
"The young master must have brought back wild animals again. I can take care of it!" Yin Ranyue smiled happily, her beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Ran Yue is very smart and guessed it right at once. However, there is a ferocious creature among the wild animals this time. You, a girl, would be scared to deal with it, so let me deal with it later." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Well, then I will deal with it with the young master later, and then I won't be afraid." Yin Ranyue saw that Qin Ziling was worried that she would be scared, and she felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart. She nodded with a slightly red face.
Qin Ziling smiled, said hello to Liu Xiaoqiang, and then went to the ear room next to the main house.
"Why are you back so early today?" Cui had already heard the noise outside. When she saw Qin Ziling pushing the door in, she asked without turning her head while working.
"I made a lot of money yesterday. Today I bought three good ointments for Liu Xiaoqiang. It is said that they can make him fully recover, so I came back first." Qin Ziling replied.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Cui stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Qin Ziling with surprise.
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded.
"That's great! I noticed that Liu Xiaoqiang was in a bad mood recently, and I was afraid that he would be depressed. Now that he is well, as long as he can fully recover, not only will he be able to cheer up again, but our family will also have an extra labor force. You don't have to always give money to subsidize the family. Just take care of yourself and practice martial arts hard." Cui said.
"Don't worry, mother. Your son has become good at martial arts, and his skills are getting stronger day by day. The money he earns is more than enough for his own martial arts training and nourishment. I plan to cultivate Liu Xiaoqiang as much as possible after he fully recovers. In this chaotic world, the more strength you have, the more capital you have to protect yourself. I am the only male in our Qin family. If something happens, it will not be good without even a helper, don't you think?" Qin Ziling said.
"My child, you have really grown up. Not only do you have the ability to take on responsibilities, but you also have the foresight to be the head of the family! As for this family, mother is completely confident in handing it over to you. From now on, you can make decisions on the major matters of this family on your own without having to discuss it with mother. Mother is just a womanizer, and from now on, Ranyue and I will be responsible for taking care of the trivial matters in this courtyard, so that you can concentrate on your career outside." Upon hearing this, Cui looked at Qin Ziling for a long time without saying a word. After a while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a look of relief.
"Haha, mother is a wise woman. I must ask you for advice on some things." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Okay, you have really improved and now you know how to coax women. Your father was not as sweet-talker as you when he was alive." Cui said with a smile.
Qin Ziling scratched his head with a smile, then walked behind Cui, took out an elegant silver hairpin that he had bought especially for her from his pocket, and gently threaded it through her half-white hair.
Cui's entire body froze for a moment.
After a while, she raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head with slightly trembling hands, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Qin Ziling hurriedly wiped his mother's tears.
"I'm happy! I didn't expect that my son is not only sweet-talker, but also knows how to make women happy and care for women. He even knows to buy jewelry for his mother! Sometimes, mother really worries that this is just a dream, and everything is fake when she wakes up." Cui grabbed Qin Ziling's hand, put her face on it, and murmured.
Seeing Cui, who was always dignified, steady and strong, revealing her feminine weakness for the first time, Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel a little sad.
What a great mother!
"However, you should still give this to Ranyue. Mother is old, and she doesn't go out to see people, so she can just wear the wooden hairpin. Ranyue is a sensible and obedient child. She has never had a good life with us, and she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry." Soon, Cui let go of Qin Ziling's hand, sat up straight, took a deep breath, took off the hairpin, handed it to Qin Ziling and said.
"Mom, please keep this hairpin. I bought a hairpin for Ranyue." Qin Ziling said.
Cui was slightly stunned, then she laughed and said, "You have really grown up and know how to love your woman. Your father was not as attentive and considerate as you are."
"Mom, Ranyue is still young, don't think too much about it." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"What do you mean you're still young? You'll be eighteen after the Chinese New Year. When I married your father, I was only seventeen. Originally, I was planning to have you and Ran Yue get married next year so that I could have a big fat grandson sooner..."
"No, no, Mom, please don't be so anxious about this!" Qin Ziling was so scared when he heard this that he quickly interrupted.
"Okay, mom had this plan before. But now you've become more capable. Although Ranyue is good-looking and well-behaved, she has no family background and no education. She is definitely not worthy of you. However, she has served mom since she was young. I certainly can't bear to let her suffer in another family. When you find a suitable wife in the future, you can take her in as a concubine. Now that you still think she is too young, I won't rush you." Seeing that her son was so scared that he waved his hands quickly, Cui couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said.
Qin Ziling was dumbfounded listening to Cui's nagging.
In his previous life, he had an ordinary appearance and grew up in an orphanage. Before his career became successful, he couldn't even get a girlfriend in his career, he finally got a girlfriend, but he got ALS and didn't want to drag her down, so he broke up with her.
So in his previous life, Qin Ziling could be said to be still a bachelor in the end.
But now, his mother has already started planning a harem for him, including a principal wife and concubines. This is something Qin Ziling had never thought about since he traveled to this world.
