Chapter 1075: Chapter 1069: Life Saving Medicine_1 Chapter 1075: Chapter 1069: Life Saving Medicine_1 “What are these?” The village chief’s wife asked as she looked at the bottle her husband had placed in her hands.

“Life-saving medicine, it’s very precious. Just keep it safe, no need to ask much else,” the village chief replied, glancing at his wife. He hadn’t told her everything as women sometimes can’t keep a secret, and if this got out, it might cause trouble for Qin Lei’s family. It was best only he knew about it.

Seeing her husband’s serious demeanor, the wife didn’t ask further. She put the bottle away with her dowry. If her husband said it was a good thing, then it was. Her responsibility was just to keep it safe.

“Qin Xue, I’m back, this is for you.” Qin Lei handed the bottles, documents, and keys to Qin Xue when he returned home.

“Dad, why did it take so long?” Qin Xue looked at the items in her hand. At last, they had managed to buy them, though it took a rather long time.

“Well, we had to wait for some witnesses, so it delayed a bit,” Qin Lei explained. He then recounted what had happened at the village chief’s house to his family.

“Dad, that village chief is quite the character, his mind is incredibly sharp,” chuckled Qin Xue, after hearing her father’s story. If not for the village chief, they probably wouldn’t have obtained the ownership rights to the house’s foundation. But not only did he specify this in the agreement, he even ensured all present signed and left their fingerprints on it. What did this suggest? Clearly, the village chief was annoyed by the troublemakers. It also suggested that he was favoring their family.

The medicine given was far from a loss, as what she valued was much more. Its value was substantial.

“The village chief is actually from the same clan, it’s just that it’s been so long and our relationship is not too close,” said Qin Lei after some thought.

“Regardless, he did help us. That’s what we need to remember,” Qin Xue responded after some consideration.

“Well then, are you happy now that things are sorted out?” Qin Lei asked his eldest daughter.

“Of course I am. Where’s mom though? We’re waiting for her to come back for lunch so we can get started on dinner,” Qin Xue answered, wondering where her mom had gone off to so early in the morning. Even Lele hadn’t returned yet.

“You all go ahead and eat, keep hers warm. I need to slaughter a chicken for the ancestral temple soon,” Qin Lei said, thinking about how the village chief’s house had already prepared their chicken, while his household had yet to start.

“Dad, don’t worry about that, we’ve taken care of it. After lunch, we can cook it and take it to the temple for prayer,” Qin Yu said. There were three grown men in the house – himself, his brother-in-law, and Jing Xin. They would be embarrassed if they couldn’t handle such a small task.

“Really? Well, that sure saves me some trouble,” Qin Lei said, overjoyed. It’s really good to have grown children.

“Of course, it’s just a minor task,” Qin Yu responded, chuckling at his father’s elation.

“Alright, let’s eat first then, we won’t wait for your mom and Lele, keep their portions warm. You guys still have to clean up the house later, don’t make it too late, it won’t look good if the guest arrives and there’s nowhere for her to stay,” Qin Lei said with concern, remembering his daughter’s words that their guest was a woman who had just given birth and needed shelter from the wind.

“Okay, I’ll set the food aside. You guys go to the living room,” Qin Xue agreed, realizing her father’s point. If they carried on waiting, she was unsure when they would get to leave.

However, before they could start eating, Nangong Shulan and Qin Jiale returned, bearing quite a few things.

“Mom, where have you been?” Qin Xue saw her mother return and quickly stood up to greet her.
