Chapter 9 The Qin Family Makes Trouble
Qin Zhi pushed the silver back to the head of the village, and took out another five taels of silver and stuffed it into the head of the village.
"Grandpa Village Head, please keep the money for me first. I would also like to ask you to help us find some reliable people to help us build our house. We want to build a brick and tile house, and we will need you to buy some bricks and tiles for us. After all, there are only three of us, mother and daughter, in our family, and we don't know much about these things. The labor fee for helping to build the house is fifteen cents a day, and food is not included." Qin Zhi also talked to the village head about issues such as the layout of the house.
The village head listened very carefully and took charge of all the minor matters.
By the time Shen took Qin Zhen and her sister away, the sun had already set.
She greeted the villagers she met along the way. When the villagers asked about Qin Zhi's resurrection, Shen used Qin Zhi's explanation to answer them one by one. When everyone learned that the King of Hell would not accept Qin Zhi, they all said that she would have great fortune in the future.
"Ms. Shen," Qin Erzhu suddenly appeared in front of Ms. Shen.
After only three days of not seeing each other, Qin Erzhu seemed to have lost a lot of weight and his face looked much more haggard. He paused and then said, "Mother asked me to take you home."
Shen was stunned. Why should she go back home? Wasn’t she divorced?
Qin Erzhu saw that Shen didn't answer, so he blurted out, "Mother said that if you realize your mistakes and stop disobeying her, she will let you go home."
Shen was so angry that she laughed.
"roll."
Qin Erzhu still stood in front of Shen and said, "Mother asked you to take Daya and Erya back. Mother has found a good marriage for Daya."
This time, Daya Qin Zhen couldn't bear it anymore.
"Go back? Where do you want me to go back to? You wrote a letter of severance of engagement with me at the beginning. How could Qin Liu find a marriage for me?"
Qin Erzhu frowned.
"Daya, she is your grandmother, so she has the right to arrange a marriage with you."
"Xiao Zhen, stop talking nonsense to him, let's go." Shen pulled Qin Zhen and walked over.
At this time, the Qin family's door opened and Liu walked out.
The triangular eyes squinted at Shen with contempt.
"Mrs. Shen, I am kind enough to let you come back today. Do you really think that you three, mother and daughter, can survive out there without anyone to rely on?"
Liu was sure that if she gave Shen a way out, she would come back happily and be grateful. The house was a mess during the three days when Shen and her daughter were away. Mei did everything terribly, including cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, chopping wood, and collecting pig grass. Either the rice was burnt or the bowls were broken, which made Liu's eyes bulge. My granddaughter Qin Lian has been raised in pampered for so many years, and she has never had to do housework, so she can't be relied on. Do I have to wait on these people, an old woman? They are not afraid of not being able to bear it. The only way is to let Shen come back, and the divorced person can return to her husband's family, and she will kneel down to thank him.
Qin Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "Where do you, the Qin family, get the confidence that we will go back? We will continue to be exploited by you, and work like your slaves. In the end, you will sell us at will and get a few taels of betrothal money to continue to support your youngest son's education."
Shen held back her younger daughter who wanted to go out and went forward herself.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it. As long as we can leave Lao Qin's house, we are willing to beg for food. Xiaozhen and Xiaozhi, let's go." After saying this, he turned around and left with his two daughters.
Liu was stunned for a moment, wondering why she didn't do what she had planned. Liu grabbed Shen.
"You can leave, but Daya and Erya are from my Qin family, so they must stay. I have already found a good marriage for Daya and Erya."
Liu grabbed Qin Zhen and said, "Daya, grandma told you about a good marriage. It's with Mr. Wang in this town. If you marry him, you will have a good life. But don't forget your grandparents."
"No, I don't agree." Shen pulled Qin Zhen over and said, "Mr. Wang is already over 50 years old. Everyone in this town knows that he has concubines brought in one after another. Why are you pushing my good daughter into this fire pit?" Shen was so angry that she twitched.
"Because I'm her grandmother, I can make the decision for her. Erzhu, why don't you tie Daya back quickly?"
Qin Erzhu got his mother's order and immediately took the rope from the yard and rushed over to tie Qin Zhen up. Qin Zhen was so frightened by this instant operation that she cried straight, and her big tears fell like a July rainstorm. She hated that her own father actually treated her like this.
The rage in Qin Zhi's heart suddenly rose up and could not be extinguished. What a bastard, as a husband and a father, he didn't know how to protect his wife and daughter, he only knew how to hide behind his mother, he didn't understand the truth, he only knew how to be foolishly filial.
Qin Zhi didn't say much. He rushed into the kitchen of Old Qin's house, picked up a kitchen knife and ran towards Qin Zhen, cutting the thick ropes on her body. He turned around and twisted Qin Erzhu's arm with his backhand. Qin Erzhu broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Qin Zhi rushed towards Liu again and kicked her to the ground. Liu didn't expect Qin Zhi to actually hit her, so she immediately covered her chest and shouted for help.
Qin Zhi jumped and knelt in front of Liu's chest, pressing her chest with his legs, and stretched out his left hand to pinch Liu's neck, while his right hand holding the kitchen knife was raised high.
"Liu, my mother has been divorced by Qin Erzhu, and my sister and I have also written letters of severance with you. You are so mean as to interfere in my sister's marriage and disgust her with an old man. Don't think I don't know what you are up to. Your youngest son is hiding in the inner room now. He must be short of money and is back to make trouble. The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. If you don't give us a way to live, then we will die. It will be a good thing for us to drag you along before we die. I will kill you with a knife first, and then go to your son's academy to find the dean."
After saying that, Qin Zhi chopped the knife downwards with force.
"Stop," a sharp voice came.
Qin Zhi's knife chopped down heavily, cutting off a large clump of Liu's hair.
"She wet her pants." A little child shouted in the crowd, and the originally noisy space suddenly became quiet.
Liu's chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that Qin Zhi's behavior had frightened her to the point of incontinence.
"Er Ya, you unfilial son, you actually took a knife to kill your grandmother." Old Qin came out of the house, pointing at Qin Zhi and cursing. Behind them came Mei and her two children, and even Liu's youngest son Qin Wen came out.
Qin Zhi stood up from Liu and snorted.
"What do you mean my grandma? Didn't you cut off ties with us? You want to target us sisters again? Didn't my sister tell you when she left? If we push you too hard, we will report you to the authorities. Then your precious little son will have a sister-in-law who is a murderer and a mother who sells her granddaughter."
"I didn't kill anyone. Aren't you doing well now?" Mei didn't want to be given such a reputation. Her daughter would be a blessed noble person in the future.
"That day, you killed me, and I went to the Palace of Hades, where there were many evil spirits. I was put into a frying pan and my tongue was pulled out. The King of Hell said that my name was not in the Book of Life and Death, and asked me to come back. He said that he would find the person who hurt me and make her suffer the pain of having her tongue pulled out. Mei, you just wait for the King of Hell to find you." Qin Zhi stared at Mei and said grimly, like an Asura from hell.
Mei was shocked and felt goose bumps all over her body.
Qin Zhi ignored Mei. This man would not have a good ending sooner or later.
"Er Ya, you misunderstood your grandma. Your grandma really loves Daya and introduced this marriage to her. Mr. Wang is one of the richest men in the town. Er Ya will not have to worry about food and clothing after she gets married." Qin Wen came over at this time with a gentle smile, like a modest gentleman. If Qin Zhi didn't know him well, she would have been deceived by this hypocritical face.
"Bah! You've read so many books for so many years, but all of them are useless. You're a scholar, but even an illiterate girl like me knows that it's better to be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a rich family. My sister is only eleven years old, and you're pushing her into the fire pit for your own selfish desires."
Qin Wen's face immediately turned ferocious. He didn't expect that the little girl who had never dared to say a word before would actually dare to talk back to him. No wonder his mother said that if she had known this, she would have strangled her to death.
"Erya, how can you say that to me? We are all family. Every child's marriage is arranged by the elders in the family." Qin Wen looked at Qin Zhi with a sad face.
Qin Zhi rolled his eyes, took out the household registration form prepared by the village head and waved it in front of Qin Wen.
"We have severed our relationship with your Qin family, and the household registration documents have been filed with the county government. If you dare to provoke me again, I will make you regret living in this world." After saying that, Qin Zhi threw the knife in his hand at the jujube tree in the Qin family yard, and the jujube tree fell down. Everyone looked at this jujube tree that was thicker than an adult man's waist, and couldn't help but sigh, how strong Qin Erya must be.
