The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug - Chapter 149

149 Chapter 149: Something Happened In The Qin Family

“You are in luck. Yesterday, my mother asked Aunt Sun, and she said she had two rooms available in her house.”

Thus, Qin Xiaoyao explained the situation to Big Girl Li, Liu Daniu, and Liu Xiaomei.

When the three of them learned that the rent was only 180 copper coins per month, they were all very happy.

Then, they immediately requested to go next door to view the rooms.

!!
Qin Xiaoyao had to deliver the goods and so didn’t accompany them.

She called Madam Liu over and asked her to accompany the three of them next door.

Madam Liu agreed with a smile.

Before Qin Xiaoyao left, Madam Liu brought the three of them next door.

Qin Xiaoyao packed her stuff and set off for Fortune Mansion.

In the end, when she arrived, she bumped into her second brother.

“Second Brother…” she called out to Qin Erhu.

Qin Erhu turned around and was surprised to see his youngest sister.

Following that, he avoided her gaze.

Qin Xiaoyao immediately noticed something unusual.

“Don’t you always deliver meat early in the morning? Why are you so late today?” Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and asked.

That was right. When her family sent meat to Fortune Mansion in the past, they would always send it over before dawn.

After that, her father would open his stall.

Why did Second Brother come to deliver the goods at such a late hour?

“Oh, something came up at home, so I was delayed,” Qin Erhu replied. His eyes were still a little evasive.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

“What’s the matter?” she asked. She had a bad feeling about the whole situation.

“It’s nothing. I’ve… also finished delivering my goods, so I’ll be leaving first,” Qin Erhu said.

After he finished speaking, he prepared to walk around Qin Xiaoyao and head out.

Qin Xiaoyao took two steps forward and stood in front of Qin Erhu.

Qin Erhu frowned.

“What’s wrong?” When he raised his head again to look at Qin Xiaoyao, a smile appeared on his face.

“What happened at home?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

Qin Xiaoyao opened her mouth again when she saw Qin Erhu smiling, looking like he was trying to deflect her query.

“If Second Brother doesn’t say, I’ll go home later and ask Father myself.” It just so happened that she hadn’t gone back to her parents’ house for a while now.

Qin Erhu’s expression changed.

Facing his younger sister’s threatening gaze, he finally caved in.

“Sigh! Father doesn’t allow us to tell you! If he finds out that I told you, he will beat the crap out of me!”

Qin Xiaoyao was both anxious and amused.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll go back and see for myself. Father will still find out, and he will still beat you up.”

“But if you tell me, I will help you plead for mercy, and Father might not wallop you.”

Qin Erhu thought for a while and felt that his younger sister was right.

In addition, his younger sister was also a member of the Qin family. He should let her know about this.

Therefore, Qin Erhu told her everything.

It turned out that the reason he was late in delivering the goods today was because Qin Dazhuang had fallen ill from anger.

“Zhang Ershui, that bastard! He brought people from the gambling den to our house early in the morning.”

“After Father asked, he found out that Madam Zhang had not cut off contact with the Zhang family and had been helping Zhang Ershui pay off his gambling debts.”

“The money that Father has saved up is almost all used up by that woman!”

At this point, Qin Erhu’s eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to skin the Zhang siblings alive.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face darkened after she heard that.

She had warned Madam Zhang before, but when her father said that Madam Zhang had changed for the better, she really believed him.

It turned out that she had been pretending.

“How’s Father’s situation now? Where’s Big Brother?” Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly asked.

“The doctor said that his heart was attacked by a rush of anxiety. After the doctor prescribed some medicine, he took the medicine and is now resting at home. He said he’ll be fine after his anger subsides.”

“Big Brother has gone out to set up the stall. The meat at home has been prepared, and it can’t be kept for too long on such a hot day.”

Qin Xiaoyao nodded and felt a little more at ease.

Then, her face darkened, and she asked again, “What about Madam Zhang?”

A look of hatred flashed across Qin Erhu’s face.

“She’s still at home. Father chased her away, but she refused to leave.”

“We didn’t chase her away since she was pregnant with such a big belly.”

Hmph! If it weren’t for the child in her tummy, he would have…

Qin Erhu clenched his fists but then relaxed his hands again.

Qin Xiaoyao roughly understood the whole situation at that point.

“Then… what about Zhang Ershui?” When she asked this, the killing intent had already risen in her heart.

If Madam Zhang was detestable, then this guy Zhang Ershui deserved to die.

Perhaps she should have helped the Qin family get rid of this trouble previously.

“Father didn’t pay, and Big Brother and I also came forward to say that that guy has nothing to do with our Qin family. In the end, Zhang Ershui was brought back to the gambling den.”

“They said that if no one paid the ransom in three days, they would cut off one of his hands.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered slightly.

“So, Madam Zhang is still staying in our house because she wants Father to take money to redeem her brother?” Qin Xiaoyao asked, suppressing her anger.

Qin Erhu was stunned.

It was as if this thought had just occurred to him.

“Goddamned evil woman!” he cursed outright.

“No. I have to go back and keep an eye on her!” Qin Erhu was about to leave after he finished speaking.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly pulled him back.

“Wait for me!” she said.

Her father was soft-hearted, and her big brother and second brother were both men, so it was not easy for them to deal with Madam Zhang.

She still had to step in for this matter.

Qin Erhu looked at the vegetables that Qin Xiaoyao had brought. Seeing that the kitchen staff had already weighed them and were ready to make payment, he nodded.

Thereafter, the siblings waited for a while.

After Qin Xiaoyao received her money, she took the vegetables that had been sorted out and sent them to Fortune Restaurant before returning to the Qin family’s house together with her second brother.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao saw the whole place was in a mess.

As for her two sisters-in-law, they were tidying up in an annoyed and dejected manner.

When they saw Qin Xiaoyao return, the two of them became overjoyed.

“Sanya is back!”

“Sanya, why did you come back?”

The two of them called out to her and then stopped what they were doing and walked toward Qin Xiaoyao.

With such an incident at home, as daughters-in-law, there were many things that they wanted to say but could not.

Their husbands could speak, but they were of the younger generation, so there were many things they couldn’t say. It was even more difficult for them to intervene in this matter.

However, now their rebellious and fearless sister-in-law had returned. Finally, someone could step forward and take care of this matter.

When Second Sister-in-law walked over, she even gave Qin Erhu a look of admiration.

She thought that her man had finally become smart this time and took the initiative to look for her young sister-in-law.

However, she didn’t know that everything was a coincidence.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law!” Qin Xiaoyao greeted her two sisters-in-law with a smile.

“Where’s Father?” she asked.

“Oh, Father was so angry that he developed blisters on his mouth. He’s… lying down in his room.” Eldest Sister-in-law said hurriedly. She even specially mentioned how her father-in-law was so angry that blisters had popped up on his mouth.

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression darkened.

“Alright. I know. I’ll go see Father first.” After she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyao turned and left.

Qin Erhu immediately prepared to follow.

When he passed by Second Sister-in-law, he was pulled back by his own wife.

Seeing his wife shake her head at him, Qin Erhu controlled himself and stopped in his tracks.

Eldest Sister-in-law also looked at Qin Erhu.

“Second Brother, don’t go. Let Sanya handle this matter,” she said.
