Chapter 188 Just One Bite of Leeks? The Landlord Kneels and Begs, Holding the Land Deed; Fourth Brot
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
The once quiet and silent back mountain of the Wolf Fang Special Zone is now filled with a strangely long line.
Those gentry and landlords who usually swaggered around the county town, dressed in fine silks and satins, were now wrapped in heavy cotton-padded coats, their necks hunched, standing trembling outside the "Crystal Palace" that radiated a sacred light, like a group of refugees waiting for alms.
The snow was still falling, settling on their eyebrows and beards, forming a layer of white frost.
And at the very front of the line.
The once arrogant leader of the Liuxi Grain Alliance, Master Liu, was kneeling on both knees in the snow.
He held a sandalwood box aloft in his hand.
The box was wide open, and inside was not gold or silver jewelry, but a thick stack of papers with slightly yellowed edges.
That's a land deed.
It is the contract for the 10,000 mu of the most fertile farmland in the Liuxi Plain.
"Squeak—"
The glass door that separated the two worlds finally opened slowly.
A wave of heat, mixed with the fragrance of earth and the fresh scent of plants, instantly felt like a gentle hand stroking Master Liu's frozen old face.
No one came out to greet them.
Only one of the twins, Qin Yun, the sixth brother, dressed in a security guard uniform, leaned lazily against the doorframe, tossing an unripe green date in his hand, looking at the person on the ground with a look of disdain:
"Hey, isn't this the great philanthropist Liu?"
"What? No more road closures today? Are you trying to starve the Qin family?"
"No! I wouldn't dare!"
Master Liu was so frightened that he kowtowed to the snow, his voice trembling and incoherent:
"I...I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness!"
"I've come today...to offer up land!"
"I only ask... I only ask that Master Qin would do me the honor of giving me a 'vegetable card'..."
"Even... even just letting us in to smell it would be fine!"
Qin Yun chuckled and did not take the box.
He stepped aside, making way for the passage behind him.
"Come in."
"Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law are waiting."
……
The temperature inside the Crystal Palace is kept constant at the most comfortable 22 degrees Celsius.
Master Liu stumbled inside, and the feeling of stepping from an extremely cold hell into a warm paradise made every pore on his body tingle.
But he didn't dare to look up or look around.
I could only lower my head and follow the increasingly strong fragrance to the rest area.
There, a huge rosewood tea table was set up.
Su Wan was sitting in the main seat.
Today she wore a light gold fitted long dress, covered with a layer of semi-transparent soft gauze. Her long black hair was loosely tied up with a single jade hairpin, with a few strands falling down her slender neck.
After being nourished by the spiritual spring fruits and vegetables for the past few days, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, as tender as a freshly peeled lychee, and even her fingertips had a faint pink hue.
At this moment, she was holding a pair of silver chopsticks in her hand.
On the white porcelain plate in front of me were several freshly cooked, steaming hot dumplings.
"It smells so good..."
Master Liu smelled that scent.
It doesn't smell like meat.
Instead, it's a long-lost, fresh, and earthy spicy aroma.
It's chives!
In the dead of winter, when the mountains are snowbound and everything is withered, I can smell such a fresh and rich aroma of chives!
"Has Master Liu arrived?"
Qin Yue, sitting next to Su Wan, slowly put down his teacup.
Today he wore an extremely luxurious dark purple robe with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs and collar, and his handsome, devilish face wore that signature shrewd businessman's smile.
"I heard..."
Qin Yue extended his slender fingers and gently tapped the table:
"You want to use those ten thousand acres of land..."
"How about I trade it for a meal of dumplings for my sister-in-law?"
"Yes...yes..."
Master Liu, trembling, presented the sandalwood box, kneeling on the ground, not daring to rise:
"These are all the land deeds for the fertile fields in Willow Creek Plain... they're all here."
"This humble servant...this humble servant only begs Fourth Master Qin to show mercy and grant me a way out..."
Qin Yue did not answer immediately.
He turned his head, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, his gaze falling on Su Wan's small face, which was slightly puffed out as she chewed on a dumpling.
"Sister-in-law."
He reached out and, with remarkable ease, wiped away the grease stain from the corner of Su Wan's mouth with his fingertips:
"Are these dumplings... good?"
Su Wan swallowed the food in her mouth and squinted her eyes contentedly.
"tasty."
"These first-harvest chives are the most tender; one bite and they're bursting with juice, both fresh and spicy."
"that is……"
She frowned and muttered in a slightly spoiled tone:
"There's too little chives. It won't even be enough to fill a few dumplings."
"As long as my sister-in-law is happy."
Qin Yue chuckled softly, his laughter filled with an unbridled indulgence.
He finally turned his head and looked at Master Liu kneeling on the ground.
But his gaze seemed to instantly transform from warm sunshine to icy cold.
"Did you hear that?"
"My sister-in-law complained that there wasn't enough chives to eat."
Qin Yue stretched out his hand and made a light tap in the air.
Master Liu immediately understood, and scrambled to lift the box full of land deeds high above his head and hand it to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue casually extended two fingers and picked up the top land deed.
The paper was somewhat old, with yellowed edges, and even had a musty smell.
"Is this all the sincerity you've shown?"
Qin Yue frowned in disdain.
But he didn't throw it away.
Instead, he picked up the thick stack of land deeds and weighed them in his hand.
"Sister-in-law."
Qin Yue suddenly turned around and pressed his entire body against Su Wan.
He braced one hand on the back of the chair, trapping Su Wan between himself and the table, while his other hand held the stack of land deeds representing enormous wealth, gently and intimately patting the back of Su Wan's hand.
"Look."
"These are the old bastards..."
"My life savings for my coffin."
"Now……"
"They're all yours."
Su Wan looked at the thick stack of papers, somewhat surprised:
"So many? All for me?"
"certainly."
Qin Yue's eyes were deep and unfathomable, carrying a chilling possessiveness.
He took the land deeds but did not hand them to the accountant behind him.
Instead, he did something that made everyone in the room hold their breath.
"This paper..."
Qin Yue's fingers traced the rough edge of the land deed:
"It doesn't feel good to the touch; it's too hard."
"but……"
"Since it's my sister-in-law's private property, it should be kept close to her body."
"Only then will it be safe."
As he spoke, he slowly slipped his hand, holding the stack of land deeds, inside Su Wan's collar.
"Fourth Brother?!"
Su Wan gasped in surprise and instinctively tried to shrink back.
"Don't move."
Qin Yue's voice was hoarse, carrying an irresistible force.
His fingers, through the thin deed paper, touched her warm, delicate skin.
The rough paper brushed against my delicate chest.
The stark contrast sent a shiver down Su Wan's spine, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
"This is the entire Willow Creek Plain..."
Qin Yue's breath was hot against her ear, but his eyes were fixed on the place where the land deed disappeared deep inside her collar:
"Something this heavy..."
"Sister-in-law, you need to put your heart into it... warm it up."
"Only touched by my sister-in-law's body heat..."
"These chives growing in this field..."
"Only someone worthy of making dumplings for their sister-in-law."
Master Liu knelt on the ground, listening to this embarrassing conversation, and watching as the man stuffed the land deeds for ten thousand acres of fertile land into the woman's... collar.
His heart was bleeding.
That's a legacy passed down from our ancestors!
How did it become... a tool for flirting in the hands of the Fourth Master of the Qin family?!
But he dared not speak.
They didn't even dare to lift their heads.
Because he sensed another, even more terrifying gaze.
That was Qin Lie, the boss standing behind Su Wan.
Qin Lie didn't work today. He was dressed in a black outfit, arms crossed, standing there like a demon god.
Seeing Qin Yue's actions, Qin Lie did not stop him.
But her hawk-like eyes were fixed on Qin Yue's hand, which was still lingering on Su Wan's collar. Her Adam's apple bobbed, and she let out a very soft but extremely intimidating snort.
"Fourth brother."
"Take it out quickly once it's in."
"Don't use the guise of issuing land deeds..."
"He was groping around inside."
"That place..."
"Is this your place to touch?"
Qin Yue's fingers paused.
He withdrew his hand with some regret, the delicate and smooth touch still lingering on his fingertips.
"What's the rush, brother?"
Qin Yue slowly straightened Su Wan's slightly disheveled collar, then took out a glittering gold card from his pocket and casually tossed it on the ground in front of Liu Yuanwai.
"Take it."
"This is the VIP grocery shopping card for 'Yunqiyuan'."
"With this card, you can come and collect two pounds of rotten cabbage leaves every day."
"As for chives..."
Qin Yue sneered:
"That's a special supply."
"No one but my sister-in-law can eat this."
"Thank you... thank you, Fourth Master Qin! Thank you, Fourth Master Qin!"
Master Liu was overjoyed, grabbed the card, and ran out as fast as he could.
They even forgot to take the valuable sandalwood box.
……
All bystanders were finally cleared out.
Inside the Crystal Palace, only family members remained.
"Alright."
Qin Lie strode forward and picked Su Wan up from the chair.
"They took the land deeds and drove the people away."
"Now……"
"It's time to get down to business."
"What important matter?" Su Wan was a little confused, still holding the pair of silver chopsticks in her hand.
"Let's eat dumplings."
Qin Lie held her and sat directly on the large rosewood table.
He forcefully squeezed one of his long legs between Su Wan's legs, forcing her to spread her legs and straddle his lap.
This pose...
That's so embarrassing.
"Didn't Jiaojiao just say..."
"Aren't these dumplings enough to fill a gap between your teeth?"
Qin Lie held the back of her head with his large hand, and picked up the white porcelain plate with his other hand.
There was only one dumpling left on the plate.
The translucent skin allows glimpses of the vibrant green chives and tender pink meat filling inside.
"This last one..."
Qin Lie picked up the dumpling but didn't feed it to Su Wan.
Instead, he put it directly into his mouth.
"Hmm!"
He bit through the dumpling skin.
The piping hot, delicious juice instantly filled my mouth.
The unique spiciness and fresh aroma of the chives, mixed with the meat juices, stimulated the taste buds.
"Big brother? That's mine..."
Su Wan watched helplessly as the last dumpling went into the wolf's mouth, her eyes welling up with tears of grievance.
"Don't rush."
Qin Lie's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the dumpling.
But he didn't swallow the taste.
"Brother will taste it for you to see if it's salty."
He looked at the little woman in his arms, who was practically drooling with desire, and his eyes darkened instantly, a dark fire of lust surging within them.
"It tastes good."
"The chives are very tender and fresh."
"but……"
He suddenly leaned down, his nose touching Su Wan's, his voice low and hoarse:
"What does my older brother think..."
"Eating dumplings all the time is boring."
"We need to pair it with something else."
"Match...match what?" Su Wan instinctively sensed danger.
"With vinegar."
"Or perhaps..."
Qin Lie's fingers slid down her waistline, finally stopping at her lower abdomen.
There, the stack of land deeds that Qin Yue had just stuffed into her were now pressing hard against her soft flesh.
"Pay this little bit of 'interest'."
"Jiaojiao".
Qin Lie suddenly kissed her lips.
The kiss carried the spiciness of the chive dumplings he had just eaten, along with a unique, domineering, and aggressive quality characteristic of Qin Lie.
His tongue swept across her mouth, slowly stealing away the last remaining flavor.
"Ugh... Big brother... It's spicy..."
Su Wan's eyes welled up with tears from the pungent smell. She tried to push him away, but found she couldn't budge him at all.
"Spicy is just right."
Qin Lie released her lips, his eyes fixed on her swollen, red lips with a fervent gaze:
"This chive is an aphrodisiac."
"Big brother just ate one..."
"This temper of hers..."
"It's rising up in a rush."
He grabbed Su Wan's hand and pressed it against his chest, which was as hard as steel. Through the fabric, the violent pounding of his heart sounded like a war drum.
"Sweetly patting."
"This land deed was obtained for you by your eldest brother and his men."
"These chives were grown for you by your older brother."
"Now……"
"Big brother wants to ask for a reward."
"I don't want anything else."
His hand slipped inside her collar and accurately pulled out the stack of land deeds, which had been warmed by his body heat.
then.
He laid out those priceless sheets of paper, one by one, on the table.
"Right here."
"On the land deeds of these thousands of acres of fertile land..."
"Jiaojiao asked her older brother..."
"Okay..."
"Eat your fill."
