The two little ones were left behind by Qin Zheng as soon as they entered the door.

"You Qin family brat, you've really made something of yourself! If I had known that my Guo family would be humiliated like this by you, I should have killed you the moment your mother brought you into the family!"

Old Guo is still being stubborn.

Qin Zheng merely sneered, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "Kill me? What makes you think you can kill me? With your spine that can't even straighten up no matter how hard you try?"

"Qin family brat! You bastard!"

This really hit a nerve with Old Guo, making him turn red in the face.

He was born with a hunchback, and although it wasn't severe, he was still disliked when standing next to normal people.

Now that he's old, you can't really tell he's hunched over.

But when he was young, everyone his age was straight and upright, while he was the only one with a hunchback and a stooped head, making him stand out conspicuously in a crowd.

When he was young, his family even worried that he would not be able to get married. Later, his father supported him to go to school, and he learned arithmetic and pretended to be a cultured person before a marriage was arranged.

In their time, there weren't many people who could read and do math, even among men.

Because he could do math and read, he even got a small job in the commune.

Li Xiuying later married him because she was attracted to his position as a minor official in the commune.

Compared to the Qin family, whose social standing was questionable, Qin Zheng's father, who was bedridden and terminally ill, had long lost his youthful looks and could no longer captivate Li Xiuying. She fluttered towards the widower Guo Tou like a butterfly, and even remarried and left before Qin Zheng's father's body was even cold.

It's a pity that Old Guo is dishonest.

He was just a minor official in charge of keeping accounts for borrowing and returning farm tools, but he was always thinking of cheating and shirking his responsibilities, and he also wanted to extort money and bribes, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other people in the commune and the villagers. Before long, he was reported and removed from the high platform.

With both old and new grudges combined, isn't this just handing yourself over to the wolves?

"You heartless bastards, you can't even afford four dishes in your whole life. I'm so unlucky to have any connection with your family."

In front of Ye Yun and the child, Qin Zheng did not want to reveal his violent side. He kicked away Old Guo, who was blocking his way, and picked up the child to go to the side to get a rope.

He doesn't need to lift a finger; just hand the people over to the brigade, and someone will naturally take care of the father and son.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing Qin Zheng's actions, Guo Laosan guessed what Qin Zheng was going to do. His eyes widened in fright, and he quickly opened his mouth, which was missing two front teeth, and begged for mercy: "Brother! Big brother! You are my own big brother! Please don't hand me over, I don't want to go to jail!"

He clasped his hands together, tears welling in his eyes.

Qin Zheng ignored him completely. "Now you know I'm your older brother? What were you doing when you were stealing the child?"

"Sanzi, don't beg him!"

Old Guo shouted sternly.

Extreme anger made his old face turn red, but he was also afraid that he would have to go to jail when he got old.

He's almost at the end of his life; if he goes to jail, won't people laugh at him to death?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Staring at Qin Zheng's back, everything seemed magnified in Old Guo's eyes at this moment. A voice in his head told him that he absolutely could not go to jail, absolutely not!

"You Qin bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Suddenly, Old Guo leaped up from the ground like a toad and pounced on Qin Zheng's back.

If things are exposed, it's better to take a gamble.

Anyway, if I just sit and wait to die, I'll end up in jail. If I kill Qin Zheng and run away, I might have a chance to survive!

"Qin Zheng, watch out!"

Ye Yun was startled and grabbed the stick next to her, smashing it against the back of Old Guo's head.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Zheng turned his head and bumped into Old Guo, who had rushed in front of him. Reacting quickly, he held the child in one arm and clenched his other hand, smashing it directly into Old Guo's face.

Bang!

Old Guo's face was half-distorted from the beating, and blood splattered from his nose.

Unexpectedly, Old Guo's hand grabbed the swaddled baby in Qin Zheng's arms.

It turns out his target wasn't Qin Zheng.

Instead, it was Xiao Chuqi in Qin Zheng's arms.

Cunning as he was, he naturally knew that controlling Xiao Chuqi was the key to controlling Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's lives. So even though he was punched in the face and felt dizzy, he still held tightly to Xiao Chuqi's swaddling clothes.

Once he takes the child away, what else can he care about?

He had learned the art of using the emperor to command the feudal lords.

However……

"You're asking for it!"

With a loud thud, Old Guo was punched hard in the chin, causing his head to snap back and blood to spit out of his mouth!

Qin Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked him hard in the stomach again.

Bang!

The hand that was tightly gripping the swaddling clothes loosened weakly.

With a thud, Old Guo's entire body almost flew up, then crashed into the solid wood box behind him and fell heavily to the ground.

The large solid wood box swayed back and forth as he bumped into it.

This shows how strong Qin Zheng was.

Old Guo, who had fallen to the ground, had his eyes rolled back, his limbs twitching, and was foaming at the mouth, mixed with dirty blood.

Old Guo underestimated the gap between himself and Qin Zheng, underestimated the explosive power of a father protecting his daughter, and underestimated Qin Zheng's emphasis on his daughter!

Standing in front of him, Qin Zheng's face was unusually fierce. He was protecting the baby in his arms, and his gaze was chilling.

Guo Laosan, standing nearby, trembled, and a pool of yellowish water flowed directly from beneath him.

Extreme fear made him stare blankly at Qin Zheng with his mouth agape, unable to utter a single syllable, as if he had lost his soul in terror.

In the silence, a fragile whimper could be heard intermittently.
