The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Qin Ruo looked at the childish faces in front of her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The reason why she accepted the birthday gift was because she appreciated his righteousness and kindness.

The "buy one get three free" offer was beyond her expectations.

She looked at the young faces in front of her calmly and said calmly, "No need to do that. Since I promised to protect you, I will not go back on my word..."

"Master, please accept Hu Zi and the others. Although they are young, they are all smart people. They will definitely not cause trouble for you. From now on, the lives of the four of us brothers belong to you. We will go through fire and water to celebrate your birthday without hesitation."

Seeing that Qin Ruo didn't say anything, Qingsheng quickly spoke up and looked at Qin Ruo with a pleading look.

Let Hu Zi, Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei sign a contract with Qin Ruo together. This was discussed with a few people before the birthday celebration.

If Qin Ruo had not appeared, he and Hu Zi and others would still be staying in that dilapidated temple, living in fear.

The idea of ​​celebrating the birthday is very simple. Qin Ruo is kind to others and will not be too harsh on herself.

He was also determined to take a gamble and try to secure a future for Hu Zi and the others.

This incident with Zhang the Boss made him understand a truth: the weak will always be beaten.

He wanted to become stronger and never allow others to bully him again.

"Everyone, get up. We can discuss this matter later."

Qin Ruo did not agree immediately, but asked Hu Zi and others to stand up first.

She is not a saint, and she doesn't think it is her turn to save the world.

Ordinary servants can buy it by spending money.

What she wanted was not a puppet, but a valuable person, a subordinate or partner who could fight side by side with her in the future.

Hu Zi stood up with Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei. Seeing that Qin Ruo had no intention of accepting them, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.

He is eleven years old this year. When he fell into a beggar's den, he was looked down upon and bullied.

If Qingsheng hadn't taken him in, he would have died long ago.

He had no other ideas. Whoever his eldest brother Qingsheng was willing to be his master was the one who made him his master.

Xiaonan and Xiaobei stood there at a loss, not knowing how to make Qin Ruo change her mind.

Both of them looked a little depressed, thinking that they were useless and that was why Qin Ruo did not accept them.

Qin Ruo didn't care what they were thinking. After explaining some things, she left with a calm expression.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Ruo drove the newly bought carriage back to Changhe Village.

The carriage was bought when I returned home yesterday. We will have to travel back and forth between Changhe Village and Taihe County in the future, and it is not a good idea to always wait for Lao Yang's donkey cart.

After leaving Fumanlou yesterday, I asked my broker to take me to the horse market.

I spent 40 taels of silver to buy a horse and an ordinary carriage, which would make it more convenient to travel back and forth in the future.

It was still early when Qin Ruo returned to Changhe Village, and he didn't meet anyone along the way.

As soon as she drove her carriage outside the yard, she heard bursts of crying coming from the house.

Why are you crying so early in the morning?

Qin Ruo took a quick look inside and jumped off the carriage swiftly.

When Old Mrs. Zhou heard the noise outside, she trotted out of the house and saw Qin Ruo who had just got off the carriage.

"Ruo'er? Is it really you?"

"Ruo'er is back, Ruo'er is back..."

Old Mrs. Zhou was surprised and happy, and shouted a few times into the house.

In an instant, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard in the house, and several figures rushed out of the house.

"Qin girl..."

"Sister A Ruo."

"Sister..."

In the yard, several shouts of joy were heard one after another.

Qin Ruo looked up and saw Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Dazhu's brothers. The whole family gathered in their yard.

It’s just that the expression on everyone’s face was a little strange, and there was a hint of sadness in their eyes.

Qin Zimu stood far away with tears on his face, staring at him closely with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Qin Ziyan, who had remained silent the whole time, was wearing old clothes that had been washed so much that they looked bleached.

His face was filled with exhaustion, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Qin Ruo looked at the scene in front of her and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She took another closer look and finally understood where the strange feeling came from.

Old Mrs. Qin, who is always the most noisy, is not here.

Qin Ruo didn't have time to think about it, she turned around and waved at Qin Zimu: "Erlang..."

Qin Zimu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and hugged Qin Ruo tightly without letting go.

The smile on Qin Ruo's face froze. After traveling through time, she had no feelings for the Qin family, but she had always been nice to Qin Zimu.

But in her previous life, she was abandoned by her so-called family and wandered outside. After experiencing countless life and death experiences, she had developed a cold-hearted character and never knew what family affection was.

Qin Zimu's behavior at this moment made her a little at a loss.

She looked down at the little head and the trembling body, and her nose felt sore for no reason.

He originally stretched out his hand to push Qin Zimu away, but then his palm gently fell on the top of his head.

"Erlang, what's wrong with you? What happened?" She called Qin Zimu softly.

Qin Zimu didn't say anything, but held her hands even tighter, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear again.

"Okay, Jiro."

Old Mrs. Zhou pulled Qin Erlang out of Qin Ruo's arms, wiped her tears, turned to Qin Ruo and said.

"Ruo girl, you're back just in time. Go see your grandma. She's sick...sick..."

Qin Ruo's heart skipped a beat. He was fine when she left, so how did he become sick?

"Grandma Zhou, what's going on? Please tell me..."

Qin Ruo calmly walked into the house and asked Old Lady Zhou about the whole story.

"Your grandma fell ill a few days ago, and she never got up again..."

Old Mrs. Zhou spoke briefly and told Qin Ruo what happened to Old Mrs. Qin after she left.

It was not until she entered Old Lady Qin's room that Qin Ruo realized that Old Lady Qin's condition was much more serious than she had imagined.

Old Mrs. Qin, who was lying on the bed, was as thin as a stick, her face was dark yellow, and she was barely breathing.

If you don't look closely, you can't tell that he is a living person.

Qin Ruo suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotions in her heart.

Sadness, helplessness, confusion, and a hint of reluctance and relief.

Her hands stretched out slowly as if uncontrollably, gently landing on Old Lady Qin's thin face, and she called out softly.

"Grandma..."

Before she knew it, her face was covered with tears.

Old Mrs. Qin, who had been in a deep sleep since last night, seemed to have sensed something.

His body suddenly shook, and then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Old Mrs. Qin was stunned at first, but her eyes gradually turned into joy, mixed with a hint of sadness.

She seemed to be suddenly filled with strength and grabbed the slender white wrist in front of her.

His lips moved for a long time before he murmured softly, "Qiuxi? Qiuxi girl! Are you back?"
