Then, she continued, "What does this have to do with me? It's only natural to be filial to one's parents, but what about supporting one's nephew?"
"You brat," Qin's mother cursed, clutching her chest, "you heartless, worthless good-for-nothing."
She knew she couldn't count on this girl.
“I don’t like hearing that, Mother,” Qin said, feigning grievance. “Over the years, I’ve earned so much money for the family; it can hardly be considered that I haven’t lost money.”
“Your mother is talking nonsense, don’t mind her,” Qin’s father gave his wife a warning look, rubbed his hands together, and then smiled before speaking, “Girl, the family is in huge debt now, you see…”
"Oh dear," Madam Qin laughed heartily, "it really is karma."
She sighed dramatically and continued, "This windfall gained by going against one's conscience is something one can't hold onto."
"You brat, do you have time to say such sarcastic things!" Mother Qin raised her hand angrily, wanting to hit her, but was stopped by the eldest son of the Qin family.
"Mother, please calm down."
He was finally convinced.
What's going on now? The whole family is busy pampering and supporting the younger sister, but the mother is still the same as before.
Do you really think they have no temper at all?
He was puzzled. After being tormented so badly before, why did his own mother still think that his little sister was the same as other people?
How could someone be so... idiotic?
Qin's mother was not mentally challenged, but rather felt emboldened by her privileges.
Back then, although her parents weren't this extreme, they still took a lot out of her. It wasn't until the two elderly people passed away more than 20 years later that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, she never held a grudge against her parents, but blamed it on the fact that she wasn't a boy.
Because of this, she subconsciously assumed that the Qin family would be like her.
Even though they were unwilling, they dared not disobey their parents.
She subconsciously ignored her earlier outburst, because she herself had often tormented her sister-in-law and brother's wife in the past.
"Fine, I won't say!" After saying this, Qin's mother angrily turned her face away.
Upon seeing this, Madam Qin let out a sneer.
"Sure enough, they only remember me, the married-out woman, when they need something."
His tone was very mournful, but Qin's father didn't care at all.
"Girl, how much silver do you have?" he asked urgently. "The family owes thirty taels of silver in debt, and they can't come up with any more. We can only rely on you."
“Silver,” Qin looked over in surprise. “Father, how could you think I have silver? Qingfeng Temple provides me with food and lodging, how could they possibly give me back silver?”
"No money?" Qin's father was taken aback for a moment, then gave Qin's mother a meaningful look.
Qin's mother looked her daughter up and down, then said, "It's fine if you don't have money. Jewelry and headwear are also fine, as long as they can be exchanged for money. Once the family gets through this difficult time, I will make sure your nephew takes good care of you."
After saying that, she tried to snatch it.
Seeing this, Qin stared intently at Qin's mother and asked coldly, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
Seeing the Qin family's disgraceful behavior, Qin suddenly felt that dealing with these people was extremely pointless.
Even if we try again, the result won't change, so what's the point of hoping for anything more?
How ridiculous!
Since that's the case, there's absolutely no need for me to waste my energy.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi instantly became dejected, waved her hand, and said listlessly, "Don't cause trouble here, you can't bear the consequences."
After saying that, he pointed to the doorway, where a row of thugs were waiting.
Upon seeing this, Qin's mother immediately stopped in her tracks.
She wasn't afraid of her own daughter, but she was afraid of the thugs outside the door. Her daughter was soft-hearted, but those people weren't.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt embarrassed, so she mustered up her courage and said, "Girl, don't do anything reckless. I'm your mother."
“Tell those people what you’re saying,” Madam Qin said, looking at her mother with a mocking expression, “and see if they’ll listen.”
Upon hearing this, Qin's father felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
He sensed something was wrong.
The way my daughter looks clearly shows that she's resentful that her family doesn't want to help.
Then all the sins I suffered before would have been for nothing.
Thinking of this, Qin's father was so angry that his liver ached. He wanted to rush over and slap Qin's wife a few times, but he was afraid of the thugs who were watching him menacingly at the door, so he dared not make any move.
"Girl, give your father a straight answer. Are you willing to help me today or not?"
“There’s definitely no money,” Madam Qin said calmly, her expression unchanged. “However, I can give you directions. Regarding the matter we discussed last time, it doesn’t matter whether it’s your eldest sister-in-law or your second sister-in-law, as long as someone comes.”
"What do you mean?" Qin Lao Er asked angrily, "Deliberately humiliating your sister-in-law?"
At this moment, Qin Lao Er was absolutely certain of one thing: this younger sister was taking revenge on the Qin family, and she wanted to drag everyone down with her.
If others had taken his previous suggestion to come to Qingfeng Temple as a joke, he could hear the seriousness in his words.
This girl, she really wants to drag everyone down with her.
Realizing this, Qin Lao Er suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He strongly suspected that the previous robbers were the work of his sister.
Instantly, the way they looked at Qin changed: they became extremely wary.
"What makes you say that?" Qin asked, frowning. "Didn't Second Brother just say that his sister is doing better now than before? How come it's considered a waste when it comes to sister-in-law?"
"Second son, shut up!" After saying that, Qin's father turned to his daughter and asked seriously, "Nizi, are you really not going to help?"
"How could we not help? Didn't our daughter point you in a path? Whether you take it or not is up to you."
"But you're clearly making things difficult for me," Qin's mother said unhappily.
"It's just a suggestion, how is that making things difficult for me?" Madam Qin's face turned cold, and she waved her hand, saying, "Alright, I've said what I should and shouldn't have said. I have other things to do, so I'll have to leave now. Goodbye."
After saying this, Madam Qin slowly got up and left.
As he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "You should really think about what I'm saying. You should understand which is more important, your daughter-in-law or your grandson."
Qin said this on purpose.
She was afraid that Qin's parents wouldn't know how to deal with their daughter-in-law, so she gave them a special reminder.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so even if the two sisters-in-law don't care about their daughters, they will care about their sons. With the children around, they won't have to worry about the sisters-in-law not obeying.
If one of them agrees, the other won't be able to escape.
Because I'm not reconciled!
Both are daughters-in-law, so why is it that the other one lives a clean and honest life?
A jumble of random thoughts flashed through Qin's mind. She tossed her hair and left.
After Qin left, no matter how unwilling they were, the Qin family members had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to collect one or two taels of silver.
On the way, Qin's mother kept cursing, "That good-for-nothing brat who doesn't care about her family, that disrespectful thing that deserves divine punishment, God will strike her dead with lightning sooner or later."
"Mother," Qin Lao Er asked, feeling aggrieved, "Are we just going to let this go like this?"
Not only did they not get the money, they were also wasted a whole day.
I haven't had a drop of water since I left home this morning. I'm hungry and thirsty, and I'm getting irritable.
He was extremely resentful about what happened today.
"Of course not," Qin's mother said without hesitation. "That girl dares to play tricks on us. I'll teach her a lesson sooner or later."
