Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

The dinner was especially sumptuous, not only with braised pork, but also chicken, smoked rabbit meat, and steamed sausages, not to mention the stir-fried vegetables.

The two aunts' cooking skills were also excellent, and Jin'er was eating with oil dripping from her mouth, finally holding her belly as she returned to her room.

The atmosphere was so lively that the Qin family's matters were completely forgotten, and then it was a sleep until broad daylight, sleeping like the dead.

If it weren't for the growling of her hungry stomach, Jin'er felt she could sleep for a few more hours.

During lunch, Jin'er talked about the Qin family's affairs at the dining table, and it was at this moment that Old Man Hua and Granny Hua realized that Jin'er had gone down the mountain.

Then a series of disapproving glances were directed at Jin'er, making her shrink her neck.

She knew Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom would react this way, but she couldn't keep the trip down the mountain a secret, so she could only come clean.

"Grandpa, Grandma, haha... anyway, since I already went out, I thought I should take a look around and see what's going on outside. We can't just stay in the mountain and not know anything, building a car behind closed doors is not acceptable, and I'm quick so it wouldn't take much effort... you guys," Jin'er extended her pale little hand to gently tug at her grandparents and parents, acting all cute, "don't worry about me..."

"Hmph..." Shi glared at her daughter, realizing that her daughter hadn't entirely confessed when she admitted her mistake yesterday.

"Mom..." Jin'er quickly snuggled up, trying to please Shi by holding her hand.

"You... I don't know why you're so bold. What if something happens to you out there?"

"Mom, you're overthinking it, with my style, it's others who are in danger. Even Big Brother is no match for me, and besides, the things in my backpack are not just for show." Jin'er said proudly, and if her backpack were here, she would definitely show it off.

Hua Yunao: "..."

Whom did he offend, that even during a meal he gets caught in this? Looking at the reproachful glances from Grandpa and their parents, Hua Yunao felt completely wronged.

Helplessly looking at his sister, doesn't he have any dignity?

Although what his sister said was true, but... but he started training late.

As long as he had time, he believed he could become really strong; Hua Yunao made excuses for himself.

Deciding instantly to add another hour of training at night every day.

Hua Yunxiang looked at his older brother sympathetically, then tried to fade into the background, as he was no match for his sister either.

The youngest didn't need to say anything, initially wanting to enjoy the show with his sister, but now he kept his head down and continued eating silently, ears perked.

He... didn't need to be told, a single finger from his sister could pin him down securely.

Too embarrassing, he better just eat his rice quietly.

"You just keep showing off..." Shi tapped her daughter's forehead, then turned her anger toward her husband, sparing her daughter, but not necessarily her husband!

"Look at this... such nerve, all spoiled by you." If it weren't for her in-laws being around, Shi's hand would've already gone up.

Even though, like their daughter said, safety wasn't an issue, Shi was more worried about her child's wild heart, and this nerve, increasingly neglecting proper girlish conduct, what kind of son-in-law could accommodate her daughter in the future?

Just thinking about this made Shi feel a bit troubled.

Hua Chengtian: "..."

Looking at his wife with a helpless smile, he realized he was unfairly blamed again.

When it comes to spoiling kids, no one in the family is innocent.

But facing an unreasonable wife, admitting fault is the right choice.

"Yes, yes, it's all because of me. Don't be angry. I'll properly straighten out this kid later and make her understand her parents' power."

"Who are you planning to straighten out..." Granny Hua was not pleased hearing her son say that.

Her sweet granddaughter went out for everyone's sake, and yet, these unthoughtful parents were blaming her sweet granddaughter, she glared at her son and daughter-in-law immediately.

"Mom..."

See, as soon as he said that, the real culprits came out; can he really be blamed for spoiling them?

"Granny's the best," Jin'er quickly nestled against her support, her smug little look prompted Granny Hua to pinch her cheek, "Your mom's right, a girl doesn't need to be that bold."

"Mmm, Granny, I'll do my best," Jin'er obediently agreed.

The moment her grandmother spoke, Shi threw a glare at her unthoughtful daughter, letting this topic go.

The conversation returned to the Qin family once again.

Though a bit unexpected, everyone expressed their welcome.

After all, even if the Qin family hadn't come, someone else would have come to stay anyway.

Besides, that house couldn't really be called a house anymore, who has a house with just the walls left? While the Qin family lived there, they also helped fix the house, building the house added liveliness and helped look after the place. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good thing.

Furthermore, the Qin family were indeed good people. Their two children were fortunate, thanks to Qin Shu, to have the luck to pass the child exam with flying colors.

Hua Yunao was also very happy; when he first heard from his sister that Qin Shu was still alive, he was overjoyed, but because of the distance, though happy, he couldn't really do anything.

This time is different, with Qin Shu living in Hua Village, going down the mountain to visit his friend became much simpler.

He thought this and said it out loud, but before his parents could speak, his sister interrupted him.

"Big Brother, maybe not?"

"Not... why's that?" Hua Yunao looked at his sister perplexed; he didn't think she was concerned about his safety, considering she never interfered in his mountain activities.

His first reaction was that something must be going on.

"It's not safe down the mountain now; there's an epidemic starting."

"Epidemic" Voices of different sizes sounded simultaneously, tinged with surprise.

Especially Old Man Hua and Hua Chengtian, the father and son exchanged a glance, nearly forgetting about Jin'er's dream in the leisurely mountain life.

...meeting eyes again, their expressions instantly grew serious.

Being the wives, they were the first to sense the changes in those around them, not thinking too much of it, given the news was just as startling for them.

An epidemic... doesn't that imply many will die again? Just thinking about it made both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feel a bit heavy.

Almost simultaneously, the family looked at Jin'er with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shi hurriedly moved to her daughter's side, her hand reaching to feel her child's forehead, examining her from head to toe, "Daughter, there's nothing wrong with you, right?"

Her eyes brimmed with worry, on the verge of tears.

"Yeah, yeah, Jin'er doesn't feel unwell, right?" Granny Hua and Old Man Hua also looked at her with concern.

Jin'er smiled, seeing the family she loved deeply, who cared about her the most, "I'm fine, don't let your thoughts run wild, I'm in great shape and know how to protect myself."

"Really?"

"Mmm, mmm, don't worry, I'm really fortunate," Jin'er boasted, subtly indicating to her grandparents that she had a blessed spot, making her less susceptible to the virus.

"But don't get careless, understand?" Granny Hua still couldn't help but remind her.

"Understand, understand, Grandma, stop worrying."

"About the Qin family..." Relieved knowing his sister was fine, Big Brother started worrying again.
