I Transmigrated as a Scummy Mother-in-Law

What's it like to stand at the top of the food chain overnight? Even if... this food chain is poor and pitiful. Even if... you become a scourge that everyone avoids. Even if... there are all so...

Chapter 405 Understanding

The villagers of Qinjiacun reacted quickly, arriving shortly after the house caught fire.

But the fire was too big, and they had poured tung oil on it, so they were helpless.

Furthermore, the Qin family was particularly disliked, so they didn't want to put in any effort. After splashing water all around, they watched as the Qin family's house was burned down.

The fire burned all night, and only slowly died down as the sun rose.

The Qin family had already been discovered by the villagers.

However, many villagers harbored resentment towards the Qin family and had little sympathy for them. Once they were certain that the Qin family members would not be burned, they stopped caring about their lives.

One person even took advantage of Qin's father's unconsciousness to give him several hard kicks.

A kind-hearted old woman, worried that the group might get sick, took out a tattered blanket that she used to protect the sheep from the wind in winter and covered them with it.

When Qin's father fainted, he immediately realized something was wrong.

When I woke up again and realized what had happened, I wished I would never wake up again.

"Damn it," Qin's father said as he stood up, realizing his back was almost broken from being kicked. "Which bastard did this? Don't let me find out."

He got up, grumbling and rubbing his aching back, but after seeing the smoking ruins, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

As soon as Qin woke up, she heard Gan Luo say that the matter had been settled and that the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family had been sent over.

Upon hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Well done, I'll remember this favor."

"Sister Qin, you're too kind," Gan Luo said, her eyes narrowing. "I'll be grateful for your guidance."

"It's nothing, hurry up and take him into the dark room."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, blinked, and said, "By the way, when my father goes to get the money later, you know what to do, right?"

"I understand, my brother won't ask for money!"

"How can that be?" Madam Qin shook her head. "How can one know the pain of losing something if one has never had it? Arrange for someone to intercept him on the way!"

"Can we keep some?"

"Need not!"

Upon hearing this, Gan Luo lowered her eyes deeply, "Sister Qin, the Qin family has already been burned down. Won't doing this push people to the brink?"

He was truly convinced.

Even if there's a deep grudge, can't you just stab someone to death?

Cutting like that, slice by slice, would drive anyone crazy!

This woman is more venomous than a scorpion.

While internally complaining, Gan Luo made no comment, simply nodding and leaving.

The Qin family suffered heavy losses in the fire. Qin's father placed all his hopes on his two daughters-in-law, thinking that things would turn around, but it all came to nothing.

In the instant the silver was stolen, everything became clear.

He immediately spat out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You unfilial daughter! Why don't you just die!"

He regretted it; if he had known it was such a venomous snake, he would never have kept it alive until now.

Gritting his teeth and dragging his legs, he returned to Qin Family Village. His wife sat in the ruins, cursing loudly, while his two sons kept their heads down and didn't utter a sound. When they saw their father return, they didn't show much expression.

"Husband, you're back," Qin's mother jogged over. "How did it go? Did you get the silver?"

This is the issue she's most concerned about right now.

Her house was burned to the ground, leaving her with nothing but less than two taels of silver in her pocket.

With no grain seeds left and farm tools burned, growing crops became a major problem. In addition, with no place to shelter from the wind and rain, there was little hope of survival.

"No money," Qin's father squatted down, covered his face, and said bitterly, "The silver has been stolen again."

That was his capital for a comeback, but he lost not a single penny. Thinking about the days to come, Qin's father was filled with despair.

"No money?" Boss Qin looked up and asked incredulously.

"Dad, you didn't get the money?"

"Yes!" Qin's father nodded gently.

This cannot be hidden, nor can it be concealed.

"How could this happen?" Boss Qin was incredulous. "How could this happen?"

So, what does such a huge sacrifice really mean?

"What? We've been robbed again?" Qin's mother was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. "Which bastard dared to steal our life-saving money? Heavens, open your eyes!"

This is driving their whole family to their deaths.

"Father, is it that wretched girl?"

Their family had no past grudges or present enemies with anyone else except her.

Qin Lao Er no longer thinks about Qin Er Sao's affairs; it's pointless.

Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't have the guts to snatch people from Qingfeng Temple, even if he could, he wouldn't.

Growing grass on your head is uncomfortable, but nothing is more important than staying alive. When you're starving to death, who cares about anything else?

"If I'm not mistaken," Qin's father said with a dark face, "it should be her!"

Thinking about it carefully, all the misfortunes in my family started when that scoundrel went to Qingfeng Temple.

“I knew it,” Qin Lao Er jumped up. “That brat, she’s getting revenge on us.”

However, there was one thing he didn't understand at all.

The Qin family wronged her, but her two sisters-in-law did not. Why is the younger sister taking revenge on both of her sisters-in-law as well?

"Yes," Qin's father said, his face aging after the blow, "she's taking revenge on us!"

The daughter is determined to drag the whole family down with her.

No, he absolutely cannot accept his fate!

"Husband," Qin's mother said, all her strength drained away upon hearing their conversation, "what do we do now?"

This is really the end.

She thought the previous days had been very difficult, but little did she know that they were actually a good thing.

Thinking of this, a surge of overwhelming hatred rose within Qin's mother, and all her strength returned. "No, I have to go find her and ask her how she could be so vicious!"

No matter how outrageous the Qin family's actions were, they still owed her a life.

She was going to ask her daughter how she could be so heartless.

So many people in the world sell their children, yet no one seems to suffer any retaliation.

Why didn't it work when she did it?

"What's the use of asking?" Qin's father sighed, annoyed. "If she had even a shred of conscience, she wouldn't have done this. With Qingfeng Temple as her backer, what can you do?"

"So what?" Qin's mother clutched her chest, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. "No matter what, I am still her mother. If she dares to kill her mother, the world's spittle will drown her."

“Mother, I’ll go with you,” Qin Laoda walked up to his mother and helped her up. “Let’s go and get justice.”

The women had all been sent to prison, yet this was the result; Qin Laoda was unwilling to accept it.

He felt he shouldn't be retaliated against. When the incident happened, he was the only one who spoke up for his younger sister, so why should he be retaliated against?

Are honest people just destined to be bullied?

If you don't ask him, he'll never be able to get over this.

"Where are you going?" Qin's father said sternly. "The family is already in such a state, don't make things worse."

Now that things have come to this, no amount of resentment can change reality.

With the Qingfeng Temple as their backing, their daughter is no longer someone they can do anything about.

Unless, the depravity of Qingfeng Temple is exposed to the world.

Even so, the Qin family's sordid deeds could not be kept secret. In this vast world, there might no longer be a place for their own family to stay.
