Chapter 15

When Qin Zhao and Qin Jiao arrived home, it was already past midnight.

As soon as Qin Zhao parked the car, Qin Jiao immediately jumped out of the car.

"Come in quickly, I'll go park the car. Don't wait for me. Go to bed and sleep. We'll talk after you wake up," Qin Zhao instructed Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao nodded and walked slowly into the house with the box in his arms.

Qin Jiao opened the door gently and saw the small lamp on the sofa. He took a closer look and realized that it was his grandmother!

The old lady was thinking about something and was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening.

"Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't rest until you and your brother come back. I might as well wait for you here."

Ever since her grandson and granddaughter left the house, the old lady's heart had been in a mess.

She lay on the bed for a while. Since she couldn't fall asleep, she thought that she might as well boil some ginger soup and wait for them to come back.

However, the old lady didn't expect that she would wait from 11 o 'clock until now.

"It's so cold. We didn't do anything dangerous. What if you get sick again?"

"What do you mean it's not dangerous?

Why didn't you do it during the day and waited until midnight? "The old lady asked Qin Jiao.

"Well, we're back now. You should be relieved. Go back to your room and sleep," Qin Jiao changed the topic.

"Don't talk about other things. You have to explain to me tonight. Where did you two go and come back?"

She looked around and didn't see Qin Zhao, so she asked, "Where's your brother?"

"He went to park the car. Okay, I'll ask him to explain to you later. I'll go back to sleep first," Qin Jiao sold Qin Zhao without blushing.

The old lady ignored her, "You can't run away. Okay, you've been here for a while. Hurry up and take off your coat," the old lady said while helping her to untie her scarf.

"What's this?" The old lady was puzzled when she saw the wooden box in Qin Jiao's arms after he untied his coat.

"Jade."

"Did the two of you do this at night?" the old lady asked.

"Yes."

"The two of you are too bold!

Can this thing be done casually? "The old lady didn't expect these two brats to be so daring to do this thing.

After a pause, he asked Qin Jiao in a low voice, "Is there anyone following us? Is it safe?"

"Yes, the place Qin Zhao took me to. No one followed me. I didn't take off my scarf or clothes."

Just as the old lady was about to continue asking, she heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, Grandma, why are you both here?" Qin Zhao didn't expect to see the two of them standing at the door as soon as he opened it.

The old lady hung Qin Jiao's military coat and scarf on the hanger by the door. When she saw Qin Zhao coming in, she quickly took the gloves from Qin Zhao's hands.

"Okay, I'll go heat up the ginger soup for you two. You two better think about how to explain what happened tonight." The old lady walked to the kitchen after she finished speaking.

"Grandma has been waiting for us?" "Hurry and go in, I'm covered in cold air," Qin Zhao asked Qin Jiao as he took off his jacket. He didn't forget to remind Qin Jiao to stay away from him, afraid that she would catch a cold.

"Okay." Knowing that Qin Zhao was concerned about him, Qin Jiao obediently took two steps back.

"Hey!

This old lady! "Qin Zhao exclaimed.

After the two of them cleaned up, the old lady's ginger soup was also heated up.

The old lady handed the ginger soup to the two of them. Qin Jiao took it, placed one bowl beside him, and pushed the other bowl to the old lady.

？？？

"Grandma, you've been waiting for us for so long. It's cold at night. You should drink a bowl too.

Qin Zhao can take it himself. "

"Oh ~ My little granddaughter is so considerate. You're not like your little bastard brother who only cares about himself.

Okay, I'll drink the milk too. Let your brother take it himself. "

The old lady's heart was warmed by Qin Jiao's words.

Qin Zhao, who didn't interrupt the conversation, was innocently implicated. He wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to provoke these two 'ancestors'. In the end, he could only helplessly get up and get the soup himself.

After drinking a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, he felt as if his whole body had warmed up in an instant.

Even Qin Jiao felt so warm and comfortable that he just wanted to sleep.

However, the old lady didn't give him the chance to do so.

"Okay, tell me, what did you do tonight?" the old lady asked directly.

"I went to buy jade," Qin Jiao explained.

"Why did you buy that? Give it to me. Let me see." The old lady asked for the box next to Qin Jiao's hand.

The old lady thought that her little granddaughter was mesmerized by the jade flower two days ago and went to look for more beautiful things.

However, when she saw what was in the box, the old lady's expression changed.

She asked the two of them, "Where did you get it?"

"Qin Zhao took me to the 'black market' to buy it." Qin Jiao didn't hesitate to betray Qin Zhao.

"You heartless little brat, you …" Qin Zhao wanted to teach his little rascal sister a lesson for betraying him the fastest, but he didn't expect the old lady to slap him on the back.

Qin Zhao grimaced in pain.

He obviously didn't expect the old lady to really hit him.

This slap was not careless. Old Madam Fu had used all her strength.

"How can you go to that place?

Jiaojiao doesn't know how dangerous that place is, but how can you not know?

I've seen you go there a lot in the past. Are you tired of living? "the old lady said angrily.

Qin Jiao didn't expect his words to make the old lady so angry. He said helplessly, "Grandma, it's not Qin Zhao's fault. I begged Qin Zhao to take me there. I said that on purpose. If you want to hit me, hit me." After saying that, he hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of the old lady, looking like he was asking for a Jiaojiao.

The old lady didn't hesitate and slapped Qin Jiao on the back. Qin Jiao's face turned red. It was obvious that he was hurt.

"Grandma, you really hit me!" Qin Zhao always complained that his family was biased.

He always called Qin Jiao a little rascal and heartless little brat. However, he was definitely the first person who didn't want Qin Jiao to be hit.

Especially now that his little sister was Jiaojiao, he liked her even more.

"Ouch!

What's wrong?

Mom, why are you hitting me Jiaojiao? "

Song Yu 'e was sleeping soundly when she vaguely heard someone talking. At first, she thought she heard wrong. However, when she listened carefully, there really was a voice!

She hurriedly pushed her husband beside her and wanted to come out and take a look.

She didn't expect to hear her son's words as soon as she came downstairs. Only then did she realize that her mother-in-law had hit her younger daughter.

"Yu 'e, how can you talk to your mother like that?

Mom, don't be so calculative with Yu 'e. She was just worried when she heard that you hit her Jiaojiao. She didn't mean to talk to you like that.

Yu 'e, apologize to your mother quickly. "Weimin interrupted his wife and explained to the old lady.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I …" Song Yu 'e quickly apologized to the old lady.

"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. Weimin, go and wake your father up. That damned old man. How can he still sleep after such a big commotion?" The old lady was very glad that Wang Chunhua had been frightened by Qin Zhao and returned to the countryside two days ago.

Otherwise, he would be in trouble now.

"Mom, what's going on?

Why are you calling my father? "Qin Weimin didn't expect the old lady to ask him to wake the old man up.

"Don't ask. Go now!"

"Oh, okay." Qin Weimin heard his mother's tone and hurriedly went to wake the old man up.

When Qin Weimin finally brought the old man out of his room, he saw his two children sitting together with their heads lowered.

His wife was massaging his daughter's back while the old lady sat on the sofa with a sullen face.

When the old man saw this and looked at the pitch-black courtyard outside the window, he straightened his face and sat down beside the old lady.

"What's going on?" the old man asked his wife.

The old lady handed him a wooden box on the side table. The old man opened it and asked with a sullen face, "Where did this come from?" "They got it from the black market in the middle of the night."

The old lady didn't intend to make such a big fuss. After all, anyone with a little bit of money would buy something from the black market to improve their lives.

However, looking at the things in the box, the old lady felt that she had to teach these two children a lesson. Otherwise, they might do something else someday.

Qin Weimin was puzzled. He leaned forward to take a look and was shocked.

"You can't get this from a place like the black market. Tell me, Qin Zhao, where did you get it?"

Qin Weimin could tell at a glance that Qin Zhao was the one who bought it. After all, it was impossible for his Jiaojiao to know about such a place.

"It's not from the black market. It's from a profiteer's house," Qin Zhao told the truth.

"How much did you pay for it?"

"It's 640 yuan for three items."

"Can you guarantee it's safe?"

"He doesn't know my identity. He didn't see Jiaojiao's face this time either."

"Okay, don't go there again." The old man didn't blame him.

"I have to go there again. I only gave him 300 yuan tonight. I told him I'd give him the rest in three days."

The old man pondered for a while and said to Qin Zhao, "Write down the address for me later. You don't have to worry about this anymore."

"Okay." Qin Zhao knew it was safer to leave it to his grandfather.

Hearing that the matter was resolved without any mishap, Qin Jiaojiao secretly sighed in relief.

However, she then heard her grandmother ask her, "Jiaojiao, what do you want this jade for?"
