CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: SHE CRIED AS IF HER FLESH HAD BEEN CARVED AWAY

As soon as Lu Haibo mentioned reporting to the police again, Qiao Shuanzhu immediately exploded. This was practically putting him on a spit over a fire, and a roaster at that. This damn woman made a mistake and still has such a hard mouth.

He directly raised his hand intending to slap Bai Cuilin: "You damn well shut your mouth."

Lu Haibo was having none of it and stopped him: "If you want to hit her, wait until the matter is settled, then do it behind closed doors."

In the end, besides the thermos being taken away, the flour, clothes, and the eggs and meat his son ate were all converted into cash value. Bai Cuilin cried as if she was having her flesh carved out.

Lu Haibo didn’t care; he took the money and left with the tin thermos.

As soon as he left, Bai Cuilin got a beating, and none of the neighbors showed any sympathy. They all hid back in their homes, truly because Bai Cuilin had gone too far.

Lu Haibo arrived at the gate of the He Family, handed the thermos directly to Xinyan: "I’m not going in, but as for the food, I’ll find someone to figure it out."

Xinyan naturally knew what he was concerned about: "Okay."

After saying that, Lu Haibo glanced into the yard, then turned and left.

Xinyan carried the thermos to the kitchen and scrubbed it inside and out, then securely locked the door and went inside the house.

Ye Silai saw Xinyan come in and climbed to the edge of the kang: "Sister, I think I just heard Uncle Lu’s voice, I thought he was here."

Xinyan hadn’t had a chance to respond, when the little one saw the thermos in her hand, his eyes lit up: "Has it really come back?"

Earlier, when Xinyan heard the commotion on the Qiao Family’s side, she knew it was He Jinxuan who had sent someone over, so she returned inside and asked Sili to watch his younger brother, saying she was going to the Qiao Family to ask for the thermos.

Sili initially wanted to accompany her, but was persuaded by Xinyan half a day before he agreed to stay inside and watch his brother, waiting for his sister to come back.

Thankfully, Bai Cuilin was afraid of losing face and didn’t speak loudly, or else the little one might have already run over upon hearing the disturbance.

Just looking at the two little ones on the kang reminded her that her room didn’t have a quilt.

Moreover, she wasn’t comfortable letting the two children sleep in this room, even though it was He Jinxuan’s, and he was not home, she didn’t feel right staying here: "Sili, is there an extra quilt?"

Ye Silai pointed to the kang cabinet: "There’s uncle’s quilt there, sister can use that set."

Xinyan was a bit troubled, but in the April weather, you definitely need a quilt at night. She sighed inwardly and said, "Sili, you guys come to the west room to live with sister."

Ye Silai blinked his big eyes, understanding: "We’ve been sleeping by ourselves during this period, I’ll take good care of my brother."

Xinyan was still worried, and after instructing for a long time, she coaxed the two children to sleep, then reluctantly carried He Jinxuan’s quilt to the west room.

Originally she wanted to swap out the children’s quilt, but that quilt was a bit dirty, reportedly due to Bai Cuilin’s son’s doing, combined with Little Siyan sweating a lot from fever, the smell wasn’t too pleasant, she couldn’t stand it, so she had no choice.

Thinking that no matter what, she had to find a way to solve the bedding problem by tomorrow, or else it would be too embarrassing.

While struggling with this, she suddenly slapped her forehead, realizing how foolish she had been; she could enter the space at night. The bedding in the space cabinet looked brand new and unused.

After securing the door and windows, she even checked the room next door for the little ones, only then did she return inside and enter the space.
