Chapter 38: Returning the Pheasant

Qin Erzhu did not listen to Old Man Qin and said that it was their Qin family who owed the Shen family. The Shen family had shed so much blood, but the perpetrator did not get the punishment they deserved.

Liu was so angry that she jumped up and cursed: "Bah, is Shen worthy of eating chicken? Shameless little bitch, she seduced you even after you divorced her. She has never seen a man in her life. The little bitch she gave birth to actually sent us to jail. She is an unfilial thing. She deserves to be struck by lightning."

Liu's scolding became more and more excessive, but Qin Erzhu's face became darker and darker.

"Mom, Shen served you for so many years when she was in the Qin family. Why do you have to speak so harshly?"

"Do you think I'm being harsh? She shouldn't be so ruthless. Her little bitch daughter will grow up to be as much of a slut as her bitch mother and be raped and oppressed by thousands of people."

Qin Erzhu kicked the bed in Liu's room down. The bed was broken by Qin Zhiyi's axe a few days ago. It was not easy to find someone to repair it, but today it was kicked down by the angry Lao Er. Who did this bed offend? Why did it pick on these two father and daughter?

Liu was startled. She had managed to save face and teach him a lesson, but she felt guilty after hearing his yell.

"Mom, Xiaozhi is your granddaughter. How can you speak so viciously to her?" Qin Erzhu didn't understand. They were obviously his mother's granddaughters, so why were Qin Zhi and her sister treated so differently from Qin Lian?

"Bah, she has already severed her relationship with the Qin family, how can she be called a granddaughter? Since you are so protective of them, why don't you just sever your relationship with me too, so that your family of four can be reunited later." Mrs. Liu kept chattering.

"Shut up, you're getting more and more outrageous," Old Man Qin said angrily to Liu.

Liu curled her lips. She was still a little afraid of Old Man Qin.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't reunite with them after I break up the relationship. I am a member of the Qin family in life and a ghost of the Qin family in death. I have worked like a slave in the Qin family for so many years, and I have never had a full meal. My wife and children have never had a full meal either. So from now on, I will eat up the food I didn't have before, and I also want to experience the days when I can have a full meal without working like my elder brother and younger brothers. And don't think about asking me for less food when you get it. If I'm not full, I will turn the table over." Qin Erzhu glanced at Liu provocatively and strode away.

"You" Liu pointed at Qin Erzhu's leaving back and beat her chest in anger.

"Lao Er is such a bastard, why didn't I throw him into the piss bucket?"

Old Man Qin glanced at Liu and said, "What's the point of you getting angry here? You might as well go and settle the score with Shen."

Liu was stunned after hearing what Old Man Qin said.

Qin Zhen took the pheasant that Qin Erzhu secretly sent to her and went home.

Shen and Shen Changzhou were cleaning up the gifts. They were going to go back to Shenjia Village tomorrow. Although Shen's parents had passed away for many years, there were still several uncles and aunts in Shenjia Village who had treated Shen well in the past. For so many years, everyone thought that Shen Changzhou had died for the country. In addition, Shen had been tortured in the Qin family for many years, and Liu would not let her go back to Shenjia Village, so she gradually lost contact with them.

This time, Shen Changzhou came back alive, and Shen Shi regained her freedom. It was time to go back and pay respects to her parents. Of course, visiting relatives was also necessary.

Qin Zhi went to Pinduoduo to buy some cloth. Hearing that there were several little girls of similar age to Qin Zhi in the Shen family, he chose some bright and playful jacquard cloth and bought some more pearl flower hairbands.

I also selected a few pieces of coarse farm cloth, which is wear-resistant and the most practical.

I also bought some modern candy. It’s cheap anyway, and I can buy more than a pound for ten yuan.

Several servings of old-fashioned peach cakes were wrapped in brown paper.

There were also children in the clan who were going to school, and a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone was prepared for each of them.

The old patriarch liked to smoke dry tobacco, so he prepared plenty of dry tobacco bags and tobacco leaves, and as for wine, he also prepared several jars.

Shen Changzhou and Shen Shi sorted out the gifts according to the list of Shen family members. Shen Shi's parents both passed away before she got married, and her brother Shen Congzhou joined the army at an early age. Shen family members took good care of this lonely Shen Shi. So the two of them are now preparing very sincerely.

As for the list, although Shen had not been back for many years, the wife of the village head, Zhou, often went back. The two often discussed the affairs of Shenjia Village, so they knew clearly which family was getting married, which family had a baby, and which family had an old man pass away.

Qin Zhi saw the pheasant in Qin Zhen's hand and asked, "Sister, where did you get the pheasant?"

Qin Zhen glanced at Shen, "Dad brought this to nourish Mom. Dad felt sorry for Mom for shedding so much blood, so he went to the mountain to dig traps. He came up empty-handed every day, but today he harvested a pheasant, and Dad brought it here right away."

Shen Changzhou glanced at Shen, and seeing that she was in a daze, he snorted coldly, "He still has some conscience."

Qin Zhen and Qin Zhi smiled at each other.

Qin Zhen took the pheasant and went to the kitchen to clean it up.

Bang, bang, bang. The gate outside the courtyard was knocked again. Qin Zhi frowned. He knew from the knocking sound that the group of top-notch people from the Qin family had arrived.

Qin Zhi got up and went to the front yard to open the door. Standing outside the door were Old Man Qin and Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu's head was wrapped in a green cloth, which made her look particularly funny.

"Erya, your father brought a pheasant, right? Take it out and give it to me." Old man Qin took out his pipe from his mouth, then exhaled a circle of smoke and said sullenly.

"Why do you want to take it out?" Qin Zhi crossed his arms, blocking the door and said with a gangster look on his face.

"Tell me why, you little bitch, you are as shameless as your mother. Why should I give you the pheasant caught by my son? Give it back to me." Liu became angry when she looked at Qin Zhi and spoke without restraint.

"Really? Whoever your son wants to give it to can give it to him. If you have the guts, just ask your son to come over and ask for it." Qin Zhi continued, "I didn't expect that I, who was beaten with 20 slaps on the board, was released after only one day in prison. Do you think the county magistrate knew about this or not? Could it be that the people under him accepted bribes and released you privately?"

Liu's face turned pale. She only dared to show off her power sometimes, but she became cowardly when she was really needed.

"Your mother is not dead, why does she need to be so precious?" Old man Qin was a little impatient.

"You're not dead, so why are you so precious that you ask my mother for a pheasant?"

"You..." Old man Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Old man, look, why is there a man in there?" Liu accidentally glanced at the house and saw what was going on inside through the window.

Shen and Shen Changzhou were afraid of exposing the gifts they had just prepared, so they left the room.

Liu was horrified. This man actually came out directly. She wondered if he wanted to kill her to silence her.

"It's okay, they won't arrest us." Old Man Qin comforted Liu.

"You slut, you've just left my house and you dare to lead a man into the room." Liu said, pointing at the big white wall.
