Chapter 54 - 54 Attacking
54 Attacking
“Uncle Village Chief, I’ve grown up in front of you. I’m the most educated and polite person in this Qin Family Village. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in my character. I do like to drink a few sips of wine, but how can I intrude into a widow’s house? Not to mention that she’s my sister-in-law, and there are five babies at home.
Qin Xu’s eyes rolled around, desperately trying to find an excuse for himself. He could not allow himself to be convicted of any crime. Otherwise, his future would be ruined. Even Qing Fei would not be able to marry into a good family.
How could the village head not know what Qin Xu was thinking? It was just that he had said in public that he had handed over the key to the new house, but a few days later, he used a hidden key to open the door. Fortunately, Mo Ruyue and the babies were not there. Otherwise, this matter would be even more strange.
“Hmph. You were quite sensible when you were young and didn’t do anything out of line while growing up. But now, at least one thing is certain: you kept a secret key. She will not feel at ease if you do not return the key to her. So why don’t you hurry up and return it?”
The village head also followed Qin Xu’s words and spoiled his plan of keeping the key. In this way, it was fair to say that he was drunk and went to the wrong door. After all, Qin Shi and the second branch’s family had lived here for a few years and had only moved out two or three days ago.
The surrounding villagers immediately started whispering. Not to mention Mo Ruyue’s own feelings, the other villagers also felt that the village chief was too biased. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the second branch of the Qin Family had deliberately hidden a key and was preparing to break in. However, they didn’t dare to stand up and offend the village chief, so they could only discuss in low voices.
“I’ll give you the key. I’ll give you the key! But sister-in-law, please untie me too. You’ve set such a cruel trap in your own house. What if you accidentally hurt the babies? The babies are still young. If something happens to them one after another, how will we explain it to my big brother?”
Qin Xu noticed that although the village chief had been scolding him coldly, he was obviously on his side. His heart calmed down a little. He pretended to hand the key to Mo Ruyue, secretly pouring dirty water on her.
Just as he felt proud of his little trick, he heard a “whoosh” sound in the air, followed by a crisp “pa” sound. It happened so fast that even the villagers couldn’t react. When they regained their composure, they saw Qin Xu tilting his head and an embroidered shoe falling in front of him. Mo Ruyue was standing alone on one leg; only a snow-white sock was left on the raised leg.
“Next time before you speak, think clearly about what you can and can’t say. If you have a foul mouth, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of the old lady. ”
One of Mo Ruyue’s legs was like a nail stuck to the ground. She stood firmly, and her eyes were cold and sharp. Even under the torchlight, they were still so cold that it made people’s hearts shiver.
Her voice was even colder, and her words were like a loud slap on Qin Xu’s face. No, she had already proved with her actions that she wasn’t just saying it. There was already a very obvious shoe print on Qin Xu’s face.
“Mo Ruyue! What do you want? My son has already explained everything to you, and you still want to hurt him? Is there really no law in the world?”
When Qin Shi saw that her beloved youngest son had been slapped, how could she bear it? She immediately screamed like a shrew. However, she would never dare to hit Mo Ruyue. After Mo Ruyue twisted her wrist the last time, she still felt sore and couldn’t exert any strength even if she used a little force.
The village chief also frowned and said, “Mo Ruyue, what are you doing? It wasn’t a big mistake to beat someone up for no reason, even if Qin Xu was wrong. Why did you have to suddenly get angry and directly slap someone’s face with your shoe? Aren’t you humiliating him?”
Mo Ruyue sneered. “So you really don’t understand the roundabout way of a cultured person scolding others. Can’t you hear what he was hinting at just now?”
“Mo Ruyue, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush, be clear.”
The village chief looked back at the villagers behind him and saw that everyone had a confused expression on their faces. It was apparent that they did not understand what Qin Xu was hinting at.
“I only set up a few traps to prevent some wild foxes and weasels from breaking in tonight because no one is living in my new house. Just now, Qin Xu cursed the babies one by one, so he couldn’t explain to Qin Ming. What does this mean? Is he trying to say that I’m prepared to harm my children?”
After Mo Ruyue’s analysis, some people finally understood and let out an “oh”. In fact, they had also found Qin Xu’s words a little strange just now, but they couldn’t tell what was wrong. Now that they recalled those words, didn’t they really mean what Mo Ruyue had just said?
They looked at Qin Xu peculiarly, and even the way they looked at Mo Ruyue also seemed odd.
This kind of thing had happened before. There was a widow in the neighboring village. Not long after they separated, her son and daughter died in an accident. It was said that the injury had festered and was not treated in time. In the end, the widow got the house and land of her husband’s family. After selling it, she left with all the money. She had gone to the city to marry someone else and lead a good life.
Now, Qin Xu’s words suddenly reminded them of this matter. Looking back, the Qin family’s eldest branch had also recently obtained a large manor and nearly ten acres of land. If they sold them, they would earn quite a lot of money, and they could even get rid of the five “burdens”. Perhaps...
Mo Ruyue looked at the complicated expressions of the crowd and it was not difficult to guess what they were thinking. As expected, her current identity made it easy for people to let their imaginations run wild. Even if the facts proved that she was the victim, it still could not stop people from thinking about her as they wished.
“I, Mo Ruyue, went hunting alone in the mountains. So far, the money I’ve earned is enough to buy many houses like this. Why would I covet the property that belongs to the children? Qin Xu, you have the nerve to say it, but I’m too embarrassed to listen.”
Mo Ruyue deliberately pointed out her current ability to make money and pulled back everyone’s thoughts that had been led astray by Qin Xu.
“Second Uncle, although she is our stepmother, she gave us all our assets for safekeeping when the family split up. The money she earned is also in my hands. I have already said this when the family split up.”
Da Bao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“If we were a burden to Mother, she wouldn’t teach us martial arts to strengthen our bodies, wouldn’t change the medicinal ingredients for us to nourish our bodies, and wouldn’t think of taking back the real estate that should belong to us, to avoid being occupied by others.”
He stared at Qin Xu coldly .”Some people keep saying that they’re worried for us. But they can watch as we starve to death without giving us a single grain of rice. I don’t know why they didn’t worry about how they would explain it to my father.”
