Perhaps because the room was too cold and damp, and Qin Shi was reluctant to light a brazier, she left the door of the main room wide open so that it would be a little warmer.
From Qin San Niang's perspective, she could clearly see that Qin Shi and Chen Shi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were talking together!
Chen first told her mother-in-law about her experience at the charity hall that day. Perhaps to keep Wang Erlang from finding out, the two women started whispering to each other after they finished eating. At that moment, Wang Erlang was taking the child for a stroll in the alley!
Qin's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. She thought to herself, given Qin San Niang's past temperament, how could her second daughter-in-law have suffered such a great loss? She was somewhat confused and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that's your sister-in-law? How come she's so powerful now? I remember that bitch used to be someone you wouldn't even fart from."
“Yes, Mother, that’s what I thought at first too, which is why she suffered so much! Who would have thought that after all this fleeing, she’s not only become so eloquent, but she can also curse without using any vulgar language!” Chen muttered, still somewhat dazed.
Their plan was completely disrupted by this confrontation with Qin San Niang, and she was now at a loss for what to do! She could only turn to Qin Shi for help.
"Mother, what do you think we should do? Should we just go our separate ways? My sister-in-law is quite wealthy now. I heard she owns that charity. It's not impossible that she might hire someone to deal with us!"
Thinking of Guo Er and the others, if they really obeyed Qin San Niang's orders, they would be quite formidable!
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? I think that bitch is just trying to scam you! Besides, where did she get her money from? She doesn't have much skill in making money, she might have sold herself to get it! We just don't have any evidence against her! Given time, I don't believe she won't show her true colors!" With that, Madam Qin made the decision to continue settling in He County!
Now they have nowhere to go. As the wealthy merchant said, He County is indeed more stable than other places, and prices are also slightly cheaper.
Besides, Qin San Niang is here too. I'm her mother-in-law, and that old man is her father-in-law. Even if we have to go to court, I'll make sure she supports me! I'm not afraid of her being rich now! As long as she's rich, it doesn't matter where she got the money. I can't let her have it!
"Second daughter-in-law, don't forget to continue taking good care of your father-in-law. Don't let that old man pass away," Qin instructed in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen immediately understood her mother-in-law's meaning and nodded hastily. Seeing the malicious and calculating glint in her mother-in-law's eyes, Chen felt inexplicably afraid.
Qin San Niang was surprised to find that Old Man Wang was still alive. However, there was no sound from the room. When Chen Shi came to see her earlier, she hadn't mentioned Old Man Wang, so she assumed he was already gone! But judging from their conversation, the old man was probably not doing much better now!
She had no intention of saving Old Man Wang, not because she hated him. Rather, it was because Qin San Niang wasn't the original owner of this body, and couldn't fully empathize with the original owner's feelings! Objectively speaking, Qin Shi and Chen Shi were undoubtedly evil, and Old Man Wang, in his most critical moment, heartlessly abandoned his own grandson—he had already made his choice. Such a person didn't deserve her help, and didn't deserve to be the children's grandfather!
Everything has a cause and effect. Old Wang planted the seed, so he naturally had to bear the consequences!
As for Chen and Qin, Qin Sanniang thought about it and decided not to touch them for the time being. However, having two ghosts here made her feel uneasy. But killing them for such a small matter seemed a bit much. There were so many villains; could she really just kill them all? Besides, there were also Wang Erlang, Da Bao, and Old Man Wang. That wouldn't be right! But there was a way. Why not just drive them away?
Qin San Niang came to find Guo Er again and explained the situation. Guo Er immediately understood his master's meaning. He was still kind-hearted and unwilling to kill the wicked woman and her daughter-in-law. So he found the owner of the house, gave her four times the amount of money, and asked her to kick Qin's family out, saying that the house was no longer available for rent.
The old woman renting the room was initially a little afraid when she saw Guo Er arrive. But upon seeing so much silver, she immediately beamed with joy—who doesn't love money!
"Erzi, don't worry, I'll kick them out right away! Of all people to offend, they had to offend you? I knew that old woman wasn't a good person. She complained about the low rent! I wouldn't even rent to her!"
After saying that, he went to the alley where the Qin family rented a place.
Upon seeing who it was, Chen, who opened the door, was somewhat puzzled and asked with a frown, "Auntie, why are you here again? Didn't you already pay a month's rent?"
The old woman grunted and went inside, covering her face with her handkerchief. The courtyard hadn't even been tidied up; it wasn't like this when her previous tenant was here. Although that was several years ago!
"Oh dear, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're really lazy. You've been here for seven or eight days and haven't even tidied up. The stone slabs in my yard are very expensive, and the doors are made of top-quality cedar wood. They can't be left unmaintained!"
As for whether she used cedar wood, who knows? Even the Chen family didn't know what cedar wood looked like!
Hearing this, Chen's face fell. This old woman was clearly here to cause trouble. She wasn't one to be trifled with either; her politeness was only because she was the homeowner. Normally, she could have feigned compliance, but today she was already upset and couldn't hold back any longer.
“Auntie, that’s not right. We’ve already rented this house, and you’ve taken our money. What are you trying to do by stirring up trouble like this?” Chen said bluntly, her voice not quiet, which prompted Qin to come out of the house as well.
Qin Shi already disliked this old woman who arbitrarily raised prices, and now, judging from her appearance, she was certain that she had come to cause trouble.
"What do you mean? You don't want us to stay anymore? That's fine, we agreed on this before, and those who break the agreement will have to pay double the price!" Qin threatened.
Qin remained calm and unhurried, thinking to herself that they had gone through a proper broker to rent the house, and there were records at the brokerage firm. This old hag probably thought they were outsiders and wanted to bully them? No way!
It must be said that Qin was a shrewd woman. Instead of randomly asking around on the street, she went to a brokerage firm to find a place to rent in this unfamiliar area.
"Hey, I don't like hearing you say that! This house is mine. I can rent it out whenever I want, and I can stay put whenever I want! Now that you've upset me, move out right now, and here's some money for you. Get out of here!" the old woman said fiercely. Her family owned several properties and had been renting out houses their whole lives; they were professional landladies.
"Move out before dark, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
