She even felt that her second son was her nemesis, bringing misfortune to her family.
Otherwise, why were the other three injured while he remained unharmed?
If she hadn't known that he was her only son and could be relied upon, she would have loved to separate him from her family and simply not see him.
"What do you mean by that, Mother?" Tie Lao Er asked coldly. "Do you think your son is unfilial?"
Tie Lao Er thought he had done enough. Whether his family gave him ten taels of silver to redeem him or he secretly gave the clan chief a red envelope, he didn't say anything.
Originally, since his parents had entrusted him with their funeral arrangements, he should have taken the lion's share of the family property. However, his parents hadn't consulted him before handing over a large sum of money, which was inappropriate.
Before he could even voice his dissatisfaction, his mother felt that he was unfilial. If he were truly unfilial, why would he have made them spend so much money?
For those three useless people?
I just wanted to make my parents happy!
“Don’t listen to your mother’s complaints, women don’t know much,” Tie’s father shook his head and said, “Let’s continue discussing your elder brother’s matter.”
No sooner had Tie's father finished speaking than a loud bang was heard, and the door was violently flung open.
Upon going outside, they discovered that the three sons were leaving Tiejiazhuang in an oxcart.
"Oh no!" Tie Lao Er exclaimed anxiously, "Big Brother and the others are definitely going to seek revenge."
"What are you all standing there for?" Tie's father said with a stern face. "Go to Huangjiakou and explain the situation!"
If their son succeeds, they can share in the spoils; if he fails, they'll have the credit for reporting the news, and the Huang family won't be able to hold them accountable.
Tie Fu was calculating his plans, and as he watched the oxcart drive away, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
Tie Lao Er was unaware of his scheme. Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded and hurried off to Huangjiakou to deliver the message.
On the oxcart, Tie Laosan looked in the direction the oxcart was heading and asked in confusion, "Brother, are we going to town?"
"Um!"
"Who is it?" he asked in a low voice. "I've never heard of such a person in town."
“It’s normal that you haven’t heard much,” Tie Laosi said. “Didn’t our elder brother say that they are outlaws? If they were so easily known, how could they have survived until now?”
Those brothers are pretty shady, but they only steal a few things; they really don't have the guts to commit murder or robbery.
The government usually doesn't interfere, but when it comes to this kind of thing, they won't let it go easily. If you get caught, you'll be beheaded and your property confiscated.
"The fourth brother is right. These people are all in the shadows. It's not easy to meet them. Even I met them by chance."
The oxcart moved slowly forward and finally stopped at the entrance of a courtyard that had long been overgrown with weeds. "Brother Meng, is that you? This humble servant, Tie Dashuan, has come to pay his respects."
"Tie Dashuan, the one from Tiejiazhuang?" A hoarse voice rang out in the courtyard.
“That’s right, it’s me,” Tie Laoda said excitedly. “I have something to report to Brother Meng.”
Upon hearing this, the person inside the courtyard remained silent for a moment before opening the door. "You can leave now, Brother Meng isn't here."
"Brother Meng isn't here? What happened?" Boss Tie asked anxiously. "Where did he go? Is it possible to find him?"
This was his only hope.
If Meng Ge isn't around, how will he get revenge?
With those three crippled people who can barely walk?
“This is none of your business. You guys go back first, and when Meng Ge comes back, I'll talk to them about your situation.”
"Big brother, I really have something important to report. Can you tell me where Brother Meng is? It's really important?"
Seeing that the ironworker was in a real hurry, the visitor thought for a moment and gave him an address, "Qingfeng Temple, go there and take a look."
After the three left, Tie Laosan asked in bewilderment, "Brother, why did that Meng Ge go to the Taoist temple?"
"What else could it be? To burn incense," Tie Laosi said nonchalantly, "to seek peace of mind."
Otherwise, who could stand constantly worrying about losing their head?
"How could that be?" Upon hearing this, Tie Laosan immediately retorted, "What kind of place is a Taoist temple? Only devout men and women go there. People who live on the edge of a knife, who would believe in such things?"
"Let's go take a look first," the railway boss frowned. "I also find it strange."
Inside Qingfeng Temple, Madam Qin glanced at the two elders of the Qin family who had come to visit again, and asked with a light laugh, "What happened to the Qin family?"
Qin Shi, who had no interest in dealing with the Qin family, did not want to see the two elders, but she was very curious about the Qin family's troubles.
In short, the more chaotic the Qin family became, the happier she was.
"My dear girl," Qin's mother said, her eyes red, "it's so hard for me!"
"Stop," Qin Shi interrupted Qin's mother impatiently, "Get to the point, don't complain, I don't like listening to that."
She'd had enough of hearing it for over twenty years.
I used to tolerate it because of various concerns, but now, why should I?
“Girl,” Qin’s mother looked at her daughter with a wronged expression, but in the end she didn’t continue, “Today the Yang family came to collect a debt, and we didn’t have the money to pay, so those damned bastards smashed up our house.”
"What does this have to do with me?" Madam Qin looked at Qin's mother with a half-smile. "Paying back debts is a matter of course. Are you trying to renege on your debts?"
“It’s clearly the Yang family bullying us,” Qin’s mother said with an embarrassed expression. “They came to our house and smashed everything. They broke all the tables and chairs, took several bags of grain back home, and even took the iron pot.”
That was a brand new iron pot that cost over two hundred coins, and these bastards just took it without any regard for the consequences.
There's also the grain at home; we carried out several hundred kilograms, leaving only a little in the jar, which won't last more than a few days.
They're broke and can't afford to slow down, so why are they in such a hurry to bully people?
"In short, it has nothing to do with me," Madam Qin waved her hand. "If there's nothing else, I'm going back now. You should all leave too, and don't come back again."
Although she hadn't heard from her two sisters-in-law, the fact that the Qin family's house had been vandalized was enough to amuse her for a while.
If they still haven't sent their daughter-in-law over at this point, she'll see how long the Qin family can hold out!
"Wait a minute," Qin's father said anxiously as he watched his daughter leave, "Huang Chuan is here to pick you up, don't you want to ask him anything?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin froze.
His deep eyes were like a whirlpool, stirring up towering waves.
His fingers clenched tightly in his palms, and after a long silence, he whispered, "I don't want to!"
What's the point of thinking about it? She can't go back now.
Even setting aside her filthy body, Qingfeng Temple itself would not let her go back.
Being too demanding will only harm the Huang family.
In the past, she wouldn't have cared about the Huang family. However, upon reflection, she realized that the Huang family, whom she was dissatisfied with, resented, and criticized, was indeed the only family in the world that truly cared for her.
Unfortunately, by the time she understood this, it was far too late!
"You really don't want to?" Father Qin didn't believe his daughter's words. "Your husband is very concerned about you. When he heard that you were sick, he immediately took out the money he had on him without saying a word."
"Get ill?"
Upon hearing those two words, Qin's eyes blazed with fury. "You've swindled him out of his money again?"
These two people really have no conscience at all.
They've ruined themselves to this extent, yet they still won't let the Huang family go. What grudge do they hold against them?
What did the Huang family owe the Qin family? Why did they let them suck blood like leeches?
