The village chief's wife was stunned; her mind went blank.

She stared at her husband in disbelief, repeating blankly, "What did you say? You don't want your son anymore? You're willing to let your son die for your position as village chief?"

That was their only son!

How could this man be so heartless?

So what if she's the village chief? She'd rather die than risk her life just to save her son!

He's the son's biological father too, why is he so heartless?

"It's not that I don't want my son, it's just that I really have no other choice. Can you come up with this thousand taels of silver?"

The village chief was also in great pain.

If he could, he would definitely want to save his son.

But he had no choice.

"Is there no other way, or do you just not want a son anymore? Qin Ruijin, you wouldn't be abandoning your son because that slut is carrying whose child we don't know, would you?"

Qin Ruijin, let me tell you, even if that slut's baby is yours, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a son!

The village chief's wife stood up and roared angrily.

She wants to abandon her son?

Okay, then let's die together.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Everyone was stunned by the thunder.

What are all these things?

Some of the clan elders regretted coming.

Having heard so many secrets, how the hell am I supposed to face Qin Ruijin again...?

Given Qin Ruijin's petty nature, don't hold a grudge against them later.

"Smack!"

Village chief Qin Ruijin, unable to bear it any longer, slapped her across the face and threatened her fiercely, "What nonsense are you spouting? What do you want to achieve by talking such nonsense? Not only will it not save our son, it will ruin our whole family! If our son is gone, don't you want your grandson either?"

The village chief broke out in a cold sweat, feeling incredibly frightened! His heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

Why does this woman tell everyone everything?

"Who? Who's pregnant? Qin Ruijin, how dare you do this?"

Qin Shuye wasn't so easily fooled. He forcefully poked his cane and questioned the village chief's wife, "Ruijin's wife, tell me the truth, and I'll find a way to save Laifu."

The old man is quite knowledgeable.

They strike right at the opponent's most vulnerable and sensitive spot.

The village chief's wife's eyes lit up immediately. She covered her face and turned to look at Qin Shuye: "Grandpa, really? You really have a way to save Laifu?"

"Of course. As long as you tell me the truth."

"I'll talk, I'll talk, that slut is Li... Ouch!!!"

Before the village chief's wife could finish speaking, the enraged village chief grabbed her hair and threw her away violently!

As luck would have it, the village chief's wife's head hit the corner of the table, blood gushing out, and she immediately lost consciousness...

"Bang!"

Qin Shuye's heart pounded with fear. He slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and yelled, "Qin Ruijin, are you crazy?"

"Village chief, what are you doing?"

"Quick, get a doctor! Is his head split open?"

"Why is there so much blood?"

No one expected the village chief to be so ruthless.

At the same time, he became even more certain that the rumors were probably true, and probably even more outrageous. Otherwise, the village chief wouldn't have been so agitated, resorting to such a cruel act against his wife of thirty years in order to shut her up and prevent them from knowing the truth.

That's terrifying.

At that moment, everyone became more determined to replace the village chief.

Qin Ruijin is too ruthless.

If he can be so ruthless to his own wife, how can we trust him to work for the benefit of everyone?

Everyone knows this is impossible.

"I... I just didn't want her to talk nonsense, I never expected it to turn out like this..." Qin Ruijin seemed stunned, and unexpectedly, he hugged his wife and started crying.

Pretentious!

Disgusting!

Qin Shuye's chest heaved violently with anger, and he hurriedly had someone carry Qin Ruijin's wife to town to see a doctor.

Otherwise, with so much blood lost, the person would probably...

Seeing the blood on the ground, Qin Ruijin was completely stunned, unable to move or speak, seemingly terrified.

"Qin Ruijin, you can no longer be the village chief." Qin Shuye quickly made up his mind.

Not only is he no longer allowed to be the village chief, but Qin Ruijin must be kept under strict surveillance.

That's terrifying.

Qin Ruijin remained silent, staring at the pool of blood without saying a word.

Suddenly, the sound of a young woman making a fuss came from outside the courtyard.

"Village chief, village chief, you can't go and redeem Laifu!"

"Village chief, I want to see the village chief."

"You shameless hussy, how dare you come here? You want to kill my husband?" Laifu's wife was so angry that she didn't know what to do. When she saw Li Xiaoxi, she immediately pounced on her and started fighting.

In the blink of an eye, only the woman's curses, the sounds of fighting, and screams remained in the courtyard.

"Quickly, go out and separate them." Qin Shuye felt like he was going crazy.

What kind of situation is this?

When Qin Shuye saw everyone bringing in a disheveled Li Xiaoxi, his heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Qin Ruijin in disbelief, gritted his teeth and muttered, "Qin Ruijin, have you no shame? Li Xiaoxi is younger than your son, and you actually... you actually!"

Shameless!

This kind of person is actually a descendant of the Qin family!

How pathetic.

"No, my great-grandfather and I have a completely innocent relationship." Qin Ruijin insisted that the two had no relationship.

If word gets out about their relationship now, he'll definitely lose his position as village chief.

Moreover, he could no longer stay in Lotus Village.

He's already so old, naturally he doesn't want to leave his hometown.

"Yes, the village chief and I have a clean relationship. Ancestor, have you ever thought about my Hu Si's reputation when you talk such nonsense? If you say things like that, I can't live anymore."

Li Xiaoxi's eyes darted around, and she began to speak in a sweet, coquettish voice.

After saying that, she even winked at the ancestor.

Qin Shuye: ...

nausea!

"Then what are you doing here? And why are you yelling that you can't let Laifu be rescued?"

"Because I know that a family like ours definitely can't come up with a thousand taels of silver. The village chief will definitely borrow money from everyone. When the village chief borrows money from me, should I lend it or not? Since it involves my own interests, I will naturally lend it to him."

Li Xiaoxi said casually.

Qin Shuye didn't want to definitively prove the relationship between the two people on the spot, because that would only bring shame upon his Qin family.

So they let her go.

"Alright, hurry back, there's nothing for you to do here."

"Okay."

Li Xiaoxi got up to leave, but as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back, clutching her stomach, and said in a coquettish voice:

"You all don't know yet, right? I'm pregnant. The doctor said I conceived about 35 days ago, and that it looks like a boy."

When my son is born, I'll invite everyone to a celebration!

Li Xiaoxi's gaze lingered on Village Chief Qin Ruijin for a while before she chuckled, looked away, and turned to leave, swaying her hips.
