Chapter 128 Reunion
Chapter 128 Reunion
After Chen left, Miss Su asked Lingdang to call Qin Yuanyuan over. When Qin Yuanyuan came over, Miss Su did not ask her to bow. She waved her hand and asked Qin Yuanyuan to sit next to her.
Qin Yuanyuan sat down next to her with some suspicion. Miss Su took out the gifts she had prepared, a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver earrings.
Lingling also brought over two sets of new clothes that Miss Su had made before but later disliked.
"Here, this is for you. Do you want it or not?" He threw the thing on the table and went into the inner room, leaving Qin Yuanyuan confused.
Lingling took the clothes and walked over to Qin Yuanyuan, then smiled and said to her, "This is a gift from the young lady for you to go home. After you go home, even if you don't wear it, you can think of the young lady when you see it, which is also a token of your love."
Qin Yuanyuan grabbed Lingdang's hand and asked, "Sister Lingdang, what do you mean by returning home?"
Lingling's eyes widened in surprise. "Don't you know? Someone from your family came to redeem you. They are a father and daughter. They said they are your distant relatives from Xiantao Prefecture. They came to redeem you on behalf of your elder brother and younger brother."
Qin Yuanyuan's eyes turned red with excitement when she heard this. She tried her best to hold back her tears. "Really? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Lingling took out her handkerchief and said, "Go ahead and cry if you want to. You were still asleep when I came this morning. Miss Suyun, the evil-minded girl, wouldn't let you go.
Your relatives have gone back to wait for news. They will come the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, you can pack your luggage first."
Qin Yuanyuan couldn't figure out where her distant relatives came from, but when she thought about going home, she didn't care about that.
She thanked Lingling first, then went into the inner room, bowed to the eldest lady, thanked her, and then took the things back to her room.
But she didn't intend to just ignore everything. After she put her things away, she continued to serve the eldest lady.
Instead, Lingling looked at her enviously as she walked out of the room with her things in her arms. She was free from then on.
Qin Yuanyuan didn't have to keep watch at night, so she gave all the scattered things she had on hand to the people who took care of her.
She gave all the hair flowers, small ornaments, and clothes given by the madam and the young lady when she entered the mansion to Caiyun and the other two maids who were kind to her.
"I don't need these gadgets and clothes anymore, so I'll give them to you." Qin Yuanyuan put the things in the middle of the three people. They were second-class maids and slept on a large bunk bed.
Knowing that her family had come to redeem her, Caiyun and the other two were happy for her. They divided the things among themselves and congratulated her.
"Congratulations, Biyue, you will be a free person from now on."
"Yes, I should call you Yuanyuan instead of Biyue."
"Haha, yes. Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, your name is really nice. No wonder, it's so nice to be together and round."
Then Qin Yuanyuan gave Caiyun the pair of silver earrings given by the eldest lady, and asked her to give them to Nanny Su after she left. She knew that Nanny Su would definitely not accept them if she gave them to her, but this way she had to accept them even if she didn't want to.
She only carried with her the eight hundred coins she earned for the next two months, two sets of clothes given to her by the eldest lady, and the pair of silver bracelets.
On the third day, Song Laoer and his daughter came to the door at the same time as last time. When the gatekeeper saw that it was them, he opened the door and asked them to come in and wait at the gatehouse.
When the father and daughter entered the hall, Chen was already waiting in the living room. When she saw the father and daughter, she exchanged greetings for a while, and then asked Nanny Chai to call Qin Yuanyuan.
Qin Yuanyuan came in with a bag on her back. The first thing Song Sanniang thought of when she saw her was that she was too thin, like a bamboo pole, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
Qin Yuanyuan saw Song Sanniang and her father and daughter and confirmed that she had never seen them before. At this time, the father and daughter were wearing clothes and looked like they were from a wealthy family.
It could be seen that Qin Yuanyuan was a little worried. Song Sanniang stood up and walked to her side, holding her hand and said with a smile,
"Sister Yuanyuan, I'm Sanniang. I'm glad to see you. You don't know how long Brother Haodong, Brother Haoxi and I have been looking for you.
If they couldn't find you, they would go crazy. Now, they finally found you, and they are all waiting for you to come back."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Chen again and thanked her earnestly, "Mrs. Su, thank you. It is a blessing for Sister Yuanyuan to come to your home, and it is also a blessing for us.
Our Qin family and Su family are grateful to you, Miss, and your Su family. "She took out a silver note of 100 taels and gave it to Chen.
"I don't know how much your family spent on Sister Yuanyuan. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it and consider it as the cost of taking care of Sister Yuanyuan during this period of time."
Chen glanced at the banknote and said with a smile, "Miss Song, you are being polite. As you said, Yuanyuan came to our house by accident and asked us to do good deeds to accumulate merit."
After saying that, she called Nanny Chai over and whispered a few words to her. Nanny Chai quickly went downstairs and came back with the things after a while.
Madam Chai handed the box to Song Sanniang. Song Sanniang opened it and found Qin Yuanyuan's indenture and a fifty-liang silver note.
"I know Miss Song and you are honest people, so we accept your kindness and give you a little gift in return. Like you said before, you will open a store in Guangling Mansion, and I will wait for you."
Song Sanniang followed her words and agreed, "Okay, thank you Madam Su. When we open, we will definitely invite Madam Su and Miss Su to come and visit us."
Song Lao Er also joked with Chen for a few words, and then the three of them said goodbye to Madam Su and returned to the inn.
On the way, Qin Yuanyuan didn't say much. She just listened to Song Sanniang talking about Qin Haodong and Qin Haoxi.
When the three of them returned to the inn, Qin Haodong and his brother were already waiting at the door. Song Sanniang considerately took the things from Qin Yuanyuan's hand.
Seeing Qin Yuanyuan, Qin Haoxi threw himself into her arms, tears streaming down his face. He sobbed.
"Sister, I finally found you. I missed you so much, woo woo."
Qin Yuanyuan's tears could not stop flowing. She hugged Qin Haoxi back and rested her head on his. She cried so hard that she could not utter a word.
Qin Haodong strode forward, hugged the two of them in his arms, and cried silently.
He felt the bony bones of his sister in his arms, and his tears flowed even harder. He knew that his sister must have suffered a lot, but when he really felt it, his heart couldn't help but clench into a ball of pain.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I failed to protect you." Qin Haodong murmured in self-blame.
"Brother, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, but I really miss you guys.
I was thinking on the boat at that time, if I jump into the river, can I return to you?" Qin Yuanyuan said with sobs.
"Sister, we miss you so much too. When you're not around, there's no one to coax me to sleep, tell me stories, or make delicious food for me. Woo, I miss you every night." Qin Haoxi sobbed as he expressed his longing.
Qin Haodong cried even harder after hearing this. He cried so hard that his tears and snot ran down his face. He was choked up and couldn't utter a word. He could only hug his sister and brother tightly in his arms.
He wanted to curse God, why did he let his sister and brother go through all this, why did he let them lose their parents and be separated from their own flesh and blood?
The three of them hugged each other, as if to vent all the pain of losing their parents and being separated from their loved ones.
The scene of the three of them hugging each other and crying made Song Laoer and the other two also tear up.
It is so difficult for them. Losing their parents at a young age is painful enough, and they have to endure the pain of separation from their own flesh and blood.
Fortunately, the three of them were finally reunited.
