"One ounce?" Qin's mother was somewhat disappointed. "Alright, alright, bring it here."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand straight out, saying that less is better than nothing.
But his arms were getting tired from stretching out, and his daughter still hadn't made a move. He instantly snapped, "What do you mean? You want to give it to me even if you don't want to?"
"Of course I can give it to you, but there's no reason to ask for money for nothing."
"I am your mother!"
"Nobody can help you. If you want money, do me a favor."
"What is it?" Qin's mother hesitated. "You don't want me to help you escape, do you? No way, I wouldn't dare offend Qingfeng Temple."
"No, it has nothing to do with that. You just need to pass on a message for me."
"Tell me a message, what message?" Qin's mother asked through gritted teeth, "If it's not difficult, I'll make the trip myself."
"Have Huangshan come tomorrow."
"Just this sentence?" Mother Qin's eyes darted around. "You'll have to give me the money first."
“Okay,” Madam Qin handed over a tael of silver.
Seeing this, Qin's mother turned cold; she really hadn't expected her daughter to be so agreeable this time.
Having been abused for so long, I've developed too many traumas, so being treated like this all of a sudden is a bit unsettling.
Suddenly, a feeling of being flattered and overwhelmed arose spontaneously.
However, no matter how uncomfortable one feels, it cannot overcome one's instincts. Before these thoughts even arise, the body has already snatched the money.
Seeing this, Madam Qin didn't pay any attention and casually said, "I've given you the money, so get the job done for me, or you'll bear the consequences."
"What if things don't go well?" Qin's mother pursed her lips. "Can you take the money back?"
What a joke! Once the money's in your pocket, you want it back? Dream on!
Even if it means death, she will never give it back.
“Of course,” Madam Qin said with a half-smile, as if she knew what her mother was thinking. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Father. He has a lot of experience in this matter.”
These words left Qin's mother speechless. After a long while, she managed to choke out, "If he didn't want to come, I couldn't possibly carry him here."
"That's your problem. In short, if you've taken my money, you'd better get things done for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Okay, wait for my message."
Qin's mother pursed her lips and turned her head. After taking two steps, she realized that she had come to seek justice, not to do things for her daughter.
We must not forget the Qin family's burning of our home because of a mere tael of silver.
"You brat, you almost fooled me! How do you account for setting fire to the house? If we hadn't been lucky, we would have been reduced to ashes!"
"If you have the guts, then get revenge. If you don't, then shut up." After saying that, Madam Qin immediately called out, "Gan Luo, see the guests out!"
"You just wait." Qin's mother was furious, but found herself powerless against her daughter, and finally gritted her teeth and left.
After Qin's mother came out, the entire Qin family stared at her expectantly.
"Mother, how did it go? Did you get the money?" Qin Lao Er asked impatiently.
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother paused for a moment, then took out a tael of silver from her bosom.
"This was given to you by that brat?" Father Qin frowned as he looked at the silver. "Why is there so little?"
“You think I don’t want more?” Mother Qin rolled her eyes. “That girl wouldn’t give me any more than one tael of silver, and even that was conditional.”
"What, you didn't say what I told you to?"
"It's no use talking. That wretched wretch is like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. She's not afraid of any government officials at all."
"Not afraid of the authorities?" This statement made Qin Laoda feel a sense of frustration, and he asked doubtfully, "Is she really not afraid at all?"
This group of people are like mice in front of a cat when they encounter the government. How can a butcher not be afraid? You must be lying!
Qin's father was also skeptical. "What did that girl say?"
She said, "Whatever, go ahead and retaliate if you dare."
"waste!"
I don't know if this sentence refers to Qin's mother or myself.
He was truly terrified by the arson and dared not cause trouble, but in his heart, he had already come to hate Qin Shi completely.
"Mother, did that brat say anything?"
To expect someone to do favors for a mere tael of silver is truly pathetic.
"Let me bring Huangshan here."
"Why is she going to see Huang Shan?" Qin Lao Er asked curiously. "Isn't she afraid the Huang family will find out about his shameful deeds?"
"How would I know? She's not going to tell me."
Upon hearing this, the Qin father and son exchanged a glance, a dark glint flashing in their eyes.
“Now that we’ve taken the money, let’s make the trip,” Qin’s father said coldly, “to prevent that rebellious daughter from doing anything else.”
"Uh-huh!"
When Huang Shan saw the Qin family, he was a little taken aback. "Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, why are you all here?"
They even brought all their children with them. Is this a case of the whole family seeking refuge?
What happened to the Qin family?
Huang Shan looked around but couldn't find Qin Shi. Immediately, he became anxious. "Father, Mother, where's my wife? Why hasn't she come back?"
The Qin family was exhausted, hungry, and in a very sorry state.
Qin's mother was starving and impatiently replied, "Let us eat something first, and we can talk while we eat."
Sister-in-law Huang disliked the Qin family very much, but they were relatives after all, and the family was in such a sorry state, so she couldn't say anything.
With a dark expression, he cooked a pot of noodles, hoping to get rid of these plague-ridden people as soon as possible.
After the group wolfed down their food, they explained their purpose: "Sanni wants you to go to Qingfeng Temple tomorrow."
"What are you going there for?" Huang Shan asked, puzzled. "Where is Qingfeng Temple? Is there such a Taoist temple nearby?"
"Yes," Qin's mother said, her expression turning slightly guilty, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's right next to Jiangjia Village. I remember your second aunt's house is there."
“Jiangjia Village,” Huang Shan wrinkled his nose, “when did such a Taoist temple appear there?”
"How would I know?" Qin's mother felt guilty and didn't dare to stay any longer. "I've already delivered the message. Remember to go tomorrow, or don't blame me for delivering the message if something happens."
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Huang Shan had a bad feeling. "Has something happened to my wife?"
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Father Qin cleared his throat and said, "Didn't you say last time that Nizi was sick and Qingfeng Temple was helping to treat her?"
"I see," Huang Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That's good. Tomorrow, right? I'll go tomorrow morning."
After confirming that they would go to Huangshan, the Qin family left immediately without staying for long.
They were afraid of giving themselves away and ruining things, at which point they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.
When Sister-in-law Huang realized that the Qin family hadn't lingered for long or tried to extort money, she was surprised. "They just left?"
She looked at her son suspiciously and asked, "How much money did you give them this time?"
“They didn’t give it to us,” Huang Shan shook his head. “They didn’t ask their son for it.”
"They didn't ask you for it?" Sister Huang asked in surprise. "Something's not right. What kind of evil wind blew their hearts, which were blacker than the bottom of a pot, into red?"
“Mother, you can’t say that,” Huang Shan touched his nose. “They’re not that bad, are they?”
"Don't you know whether they're here or not?" Sister-in-law Huang gave her son a disdainful look. "What exactly are they here for?"
