Chapter 15: Creak

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Qin Xiaoyao finally felt comfortable.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't want to sweat anymore, so she didn't do the laundry and left the dirty clothes in the wooden bucket.

Then, she went back to her room to sleep.

At this moment, the oil lamp in the room she shared with Song Que had been extinguished by Song Que, so she could only enter using the moonlight.

After entering, she closed the door.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't use the fire sparks retainer and walked to the bedside in the dark.

As someone with extraordinary abilities, her vision was better than ordinary people's.

Although her vision at night was definitely not as good as during the day, she could still see some things clearly.

For example, she could see her attractive husband moving his body further inside the bed.

Sigh! If he moved in any closer, he would be plastered against the wall.

He still really despised her as usual.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't think too much about it. She took off her shoes and got into bed.

Immediately, the wooden bed made a creaking noise.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned. Then, her face turned red.

Following that, she composed herself before going back to bed.

When she heard the creaking sound again, she could finally accept it calmly.

Right now, Qin Xiaoyao, who was lying next to Song Que, had a lot of thoughts running through her mind.

Her stomach was full, and her body felt fresh and clean.

She didn't have to do anything, and she didn't have to worry about being attacked by zombies or bad guys. She was now in an absolutely safe environment.

Moreover, she was now Qin Sanya and was married.

The man beside her was her husband.

In addition to her husband, she had her mother-in-law, little sister-in-law, and little brother-in-law at home.

Oh, she had a father and two older brothers too.

Did she really want to be Qin Sanya?

Nonsense! Of course, she wanted to! 

She wanted to make use of Qin Sanya's body to relive one whole lifetime, to experience all the bliss and happiness that she had never experienced in her previous life!

At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao couldn't resist turning to her side.

Just as she was about to look at her husband's back… 

Creak! A decidedly disharmonious sound immediately rang out.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned, feeling embarrassed and angry again.

The hand she had raised to pat Song Que's hand was replaced silently by her side again.

Then, Qin Xiaoyao took a deep breath in her heart and carefully moved her body again, preparing to turn her body back. In the end… 

Creak!

Qin Xiaoyao was flabbergasted!

"Are you done yet?" Just then, the man with his back to Qin Sanya spoke. His tone was filled with annoyance.

(Author: There is no doubt. This is the reborn Black Lotus. After being reborn, her personality was temporarily unstable. In addition, due to the current situation, it is better to maintain her current status and not reveal her identity.)

Qin Xiaoyao instantly froze.

"I'm done," she immediately responded.

Then, she ignored the creaking sound and flipped back.

After that, she stopped moving.

Song Que was quite surprised by Qin Xiaoyao's answer.

Did this woman's character really change?

If she had encountered such a situation in the past, she would have quarreled with him.

Or did she fail in her suicide attempt, so other weird thoughts popped into her mind?

As Song Que was running through his suspicions, Qin Xiaoyao didn't think about anything else anymore.

She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She still had many things to do tomorrow.

After a while, snoring started.

Song Que, who had not fallen asleep, could not help but cover his ears.

Damn it. He shouldn't have thought too much.

He didn't fall asleep earlier, so how could he possibly fall asleep now?

He turned over and looked at the big-sized woman in front of him. He could only vaguely make out her silhouette. It took Song Que a lot of effort to resist the urge to reach out and strangle her.

Gritting his teeth, Song Que turned around and covered his ears, forcing himself to sleep.

Qin Xiaoyao didn't know that a certain somebody had suffered a great deal because of her. She slept soundly until dawn.

In fact, even if she knew, she could do nothing other than apologize in her heart for now.

She was snoring now because she was too fat.

And she couldn't lose weight in a short time.

In her previous life, she didn't have the habit of snoring, and she slept quietly and civilly.

It couldn't be helped as it was during the apocalypse.

If she did not sleep quietly, she would attract hordes of zombies.

Seeing that her attractive husband was still sound asleep, Qin Xiaoyao tried to get out of bed as gently as possible.

However, the creaking sounds still made the person on the bed frown a few times.

Fortunately, he didn't open his eyes.

Qin Xiaoyao took a deep breath, put on her outerwear, and left the room.

Just as she reached the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao saw that the dirty clothes she had changed out of last night had been washed and hung up to dry.

Furthermore, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

Qin Xiaoyao felt a sudden warmth in her heart as she walked quickly to the kitchen.

Sure enough, Madam Liu and the two little ones were there.

When they saw Qin Xiaoyao appear, the expressions on the mother and the children froze.

Immediately after that, Song Ye was the first to smile.

"Sister-in-law, Mom said that the food will be ready soon," he said to Qin Xiaoyao.

"I'll get some water for Sister-in-law to wash her face." Song Yun chimed in and hurriedly went to get the bucket.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly stepped forward.

"I'll do it myself." She grabbed the bucket from Song Yun's hands.

She accidentally saw that the little girl's hands were a little red, and it was obvious that they had been soaked in water.

Thinking of the washed clothes hanging in the yard, Qin Xiaoyao knew then who had washed her clothes.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed and said as she went to the kitchen counter to get some water, "In the future, just leave the dirty clothes there. I'll wash them myself when I'm free."

She was a little embarrassed to let a ten-year-old girl help her wash her clothes.

This was even though her predecessor's clothes had been washed by Song Yun in the past.

Upon hearing this, Song Yun's face flashed with panic.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I've washed it really clean! I also didn't use much strength so that I wouldn't damage the clothes," she said.

Once again, Qin Xiaoyao felt helpless.

It was still her predecessor's fault… 

Previously, not only did she made this little sister-in-law wash her clothes, but she also told her she was not allowed to eat if she didn't wash them.

If she didn't wash them clean, she would get scolded too.

So now, if Qin Xiaoyao didn't let the little girl wash her clothes, she would think that Qin Xiaoyao didn't want her to eat.

"I wash all the clothes at home. Sister-in-law, please don't stop me washing..." Song Yun almost burst into tears when she saw Qin Xiaoyao keeping quiet.

Qin Xiaoyao's heart trembled. She could not possibly refuse now.

"Alright, alright, alright. You do it then."

"But you have to be careful. It's not very safe to wash clothes by the stream."

After some thought, Qin Xiaoyao said again, "How about this? I'll go over and fix that spot later. It'll be safer for you to wash clothes in the future." 

The place where they washed their clothes was downstream of the stream, some distance away from the place where they fetched water.

As many people in the village were washing clothes there, someone had dug a very deep pit there.

Then there was a dangerous mudflat behind that spot.

If one was not careful, he could fall into the mudflat.

If he were more unlucky, he might even roll out of the mudflat and fall off the edge of the cliff further back.

"Forget it. Let's just do the washing at home in the future. It's convenient for me to get water from the stream anyway." Thinking of the moss on the mudflat, Qin Xiaoyao continued.

Song Yun wanted to reject her proposal initially.

"Let's do it this way. In the future, I'll get water in the morning and evening to fill the water tank at home. It'll be enough for our use." Qin Xiaoyao interrupted Song Yun before she could say anything.
