Chapter 79 She's a Wife-Killer
Although she secretly hoped that Li Siheng would take the money and not the person.
Without a second thought, Li Siheng said, “I’ve thought it through. I have no fate with this Qin woman, but it’s true that my wife died because of the noodle fish she sold. She’s willing to compensate me two hundred taels, so I’ll accept the compensation and we’ll go our separate ways from now on.”
"Alright then, once you've made up your mind, that's fine."
The matchmaker quickly went to prepare, and two contracts were brought out. All that was left was for Li Siheng and Qin Shi to put their fingerprints on them.
Li Siheng frowned and urged, "Where's the money? Where's the money? I won't put my fingerprint on this if I don't see the money."
Qin Tianhai calmly pressed his fingerprint and said peacefully, "We still need to prepare the money. Who would carry two hundred taels on their person so casually? This agreement will be kept here with the official media. You can come and collect the money tonight at the latest."
"I see. Alright then. This is official media, so I doubt you'd dare to go back on your word."
Li Siheng thought for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. Now that things were settled here, he still needed to go to the Su residence to inform them.
Qin Tianhai looked at the screen separating them without saying anything.
After the matchmaker had finished arranging things for the two of them, she said with a smile, "Please wait here while I go and inform them."
Call the most troublesome one first, so he won't be able to cause trouble for state media next time.
Qin Tianhai nodded, then turned and left without looking back.
After Qin Tianhai left, Li Siheng felt much better.
As he prepared to leave, seeing the matchmaker hurrying away, Li Siheng asked, "What else do they want you to do? Surely they don't want you to find a husband for Ms. Qin?"
"Why can't she? Just because you don't have that good fortune doesn't mean others can. You're just short-sighted, only looking at her with that child in tow. Look how weak that child is. You just need to endure a few years and you'll naturally have your day..."
"Forget it, I won't say any more. You wouldn't understand anyway."
The matchmaker quickened her pace; in her view, a seriously ill child was nothing.
What can you do if you really can't come up with the money? But it's surprising that the Qin family is willing to pay two hundred taels. No wonder Li Siheng chose two hundred taels. With two hundred taels, he could marry a virgin again.
Li Siheng was a little confused and went directly to another place after parting ways with the matchmaker.
...
Qin Tianhai returned to the house, and Qin Shi looked at him with concern.
"Everything went smoothly, don't worry."
Qin Tianhai spoke up.
Qin was relieved.
This is just the beginning; once this happens, it will happen again and again.
To prevent this, we need to find a way.
Qin Shi did not want to remarry, and now that her child was desperately protecting her, she was safe. No one could marry her or bully her.
"Yu Wan, once this has started, there's no going back."
Qin Tianhai felt bad; no one wants their daughter to be branded as a jinx.
Life is long. What if you meet the right person in the future, but they care and worry about you and have a knot in their heart?
“Father, I have thought it through. As long as my darling is alive, I will not remarry. If my darling is… me, I will convert to Buddhism and pray for her every day.”
With tears in her eyes, Qin managed to finish speaking with great difficulty.
Her child suffered too much during the birth of her, and she couldn't let go of it or move on.
She understood her father's meaning, and she knew it, but she still had to make this choice.
“You’ve made your decision, and no matter what, your parents will support you. My dear child, everything will be alright.”
Qin Tianhai sighed; the family's predicament was something he couldn't easily resolve.
Madam Qin nodded gently and continued to watch over Qin Jin'an.
The father and daughter waited quietly like that.
Until Qin Yulin arrived.
Looking at Qin Yulin, Qin Tianhai didn't say anything, but just hugged him and patted his shoulder.
Qin Yulin handed the silver note to Qin Tianhai and said with a smile, "Father, I did it."
He was like a victorious general, incredibly proud.
Qin Tianhai took the silver note and nodded: "Well done."
Qin's eyes reddened as her gaze fell on the bloodstains on Qin Yulin's back, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Brother, your injury..."
Qin's voice choked with emotion.
Qin Yulin waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, I'm thick-skinned, it doesn't hurt anymore. I came to let you know that I'm about to leave the pass for Wuzhou. I'll bring back the medicine that Yu Bao needs in a few days."
For him, this injury was nothing; buying medicine for his child was more important.
Qin silently wiped away her tears.
"Go ahead, we can handle things here ourselves."
Qin Tianhai looked at Qin Yulin and spoke gently.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Qin Yulin felt relieved and turned to go out again.
Qin chased after him a few steps and said, "Brother, you should also see a doctor. Don't let your old illness flare up. I hope you'll be alright when our baby wakes up."
Qin Yulin nodded: "Don't worry, I know."
He went to the Wuzhou Medical Clinic, settled things, and then went to see a doctor.
Qin Yulin left.
Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi continued to wait, holding the silver notes.
Li Siheng arrived, pressed his fingerprint, took the money, and left happily.
The matchmaker brought in a tall, burly man. The man smiled and lingered on Qin Shi.
"This man is named Zhao Quanzi. He is twenty-eight years old and unmarried. He is healthy and strong, and much better looking than that short and ugly Li Siheng. He is also a better match for your daughter. You should be going home now. It's getting late. Let him take you home and show you the way."
The matchmaker's speech was a little unclear; her tongue was in too much pain.
But considering Qin Tianhai's generosity, she endured the pain and tried her best to bring them together.
"Hello Uncle Qin, just tell me what to do."
"Little Qin, don't be shy."
Zhao Quanzi looked at Qin Tianhai and then at Qin Shi.
Qin looked at Zhao Quanzi and said softly, "I am destined to be unlucky in marriage, which is why I was abandoned by my husband's family. Don't you mind?"
Zhao Quanzi waved his hand: "I don't mind, I don't mind, I'm lucky to be alive."
"Thank you for your help. Please come with us."
Qin lowered her eyes, concealing her disgust.
Qin Tianhai carried Qin Jin'an on his back, and the father and daughter left together.
Zhao Quanzi, prompted by the matchmaker, quickly followed.
He hadn't gone far when he tripped and fell flat on his back.
Qin turned around and asked, "Are you alright? Am I bringing you bad luck?"
Zhao Quanzi felt something was off, but seeing how beautiful Qin Shi looked, he smiled and shook his head: "No, no, it was just an accident. What do you mean by 'curse'? People just scare themselves."
Back at his stall, packing up his things, Zhao Quanzi had already fallen three times.
My clothes were torn, and my legs were bruised.
Just as they were about to leave the city together, Zhao Quanzi took a big fall and lost several teeth.
Qin Tianhai smiled with concern and stepped forward to help her up: "Is Quanzi alright? Let's go home and I'll get some medicinal wine to rub on your skin."
Zhao Quanzi shuddered. Looking at Qin Tianhai's smile felt like a death knell. His face turned pale, and he quickly backed away, saying, "No, no, no, I remembered my mother is sick at home. I have to go back now..."
