Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Qin family was becoming increasingly bleak.
Upon learning that her eldest son had sent his wife back to her parents' home, Qin's mother was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.
"Honey, is the eldest son trying to cause trouble?" Qin's father said indignantly. "Without saying a word, he sent his wife back to her parents' house in the middle of the night. What's the meaning of this? Is he keeping an eye on us two old geezers?"
When Qin's father heard the news, his face turned extremely grim.
However, he could somewhat understand his son's thoughts.
He wouldn't be willing to send his wife to another man's bed for ten taels of silver.
"Alright, that's enough. Even without Butcher Zhang, we don't have to eat hairy pigs anymore. There's always a way out."
"We've reached a dead end, what way is there?" Mother Qin said bitterly. "It's all that slut's fault, all she knows is how to seduce men."
Even though it was her own son who did it, Qin's mother still blamed her eldest daughter-in-law.
In her heart, all the bad things her son did were because her daughter-in-law instigated them.
"What else can we do?" Qin's father sighed softly. "Can we go to our in-laws' place and bring them back?"
Not to mention that it's against the rules, if the daughter-in-law makes a fuss about it, what could have been a peaceful resolution will escalate into a major incident.
At that time, although the daughter-in-law will have a bad reputation, the reputation of the Qin family will definitely be so bad that it will attract flies.
“That won’t do,” Mother Qin immediately shook her head. “We can’t let outsiders know.”
She rolled her eyes and tentatively suggested, "How about we try going to Nizi's place?"
Qin's mother felt that since her daughter was serving a noble person, Qingfeng Temple would certainly not mistreat her.
Even without silver, jewelry and headwear can be exchanged for money. If you can scrape together enough, maybe you can get through this calamity.
It sounds nice, but it's not very realistic.
Although Qin's father was very tempted, he knew that he had already offended his daughter badly. "It's unlikely. Let alone whether the girl has money or not, even if she does, she won't take it out."
"Father, Mother," Qin Lao Er said urgently, "regardless of whether it will work out or not, we have to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, it's just an extra trip, nothing to lose. But what if it does work out?"
“That’s right,” Qin’s mother nodded hurriedly. “No matter what, we have to try. Besides, Nizi is a member of the Qin family. Even if we are not good enough, we are still her closest people. How can we be so cruel?”
“That makes sense,” Qin’s father said after thinking for a moment. “Let’s try it first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of another way.”
"That's unlikely," Qin, the eldest brother, who had been hiding in the corner and silent, couldn't help but say, realizing he had done something wrong. "Little sister hates us too much to ask for help."
Qin Laoda truly felt that their trip would be pointless.
On the contrary, they will be met with difficulties.
Boss Qin's idea was not wrong.
When Qin heard that the Qin family had come to see her, her first reaction was disbelief. "Gan Luo, are you sure? My parents want to come in and see me?"
She felt she had underestimated the shamelessness of the Qin family. One minute they were beating and scolding her, drugging her and sending her to Qingfeng Temple, and the next they were pretending to be affectionate with her.
This kind of person is truly shameless, it makes your teeth itch.
“Sister Qin,” Gan Luo patted his chest to assure her, “I couldn’t have misheard you. I think these people want you to pay them off to get out of this predicament.”
After saying this, he briefly recounted the Qin family's affairs.
"So the oxcart belongs to the Yang family," Qin said with a hint of a smile in her eyes. "Then I'm relieved."
She had previously assumed the cow belonged to the village chief and wasn't sure if her plan would work out.
Upon learning that it was from the Yang family, they were immediately relieved.
Even if the village chief has authority, he can't go too far because of his clan, but the Yang family doesn't have to worry about that.
"Sister Qin, it seems that your aunt and uncle wanted to send her over, but your eldest brother sent her back to her parents' home overnight."
“Send her back to her parents’ home,” Madam Qin sneered. “Does he think that sending his wife back to her parents’ home will solve everything? It’s not that easy.”
They've gotten themselves mired in this mess because of them, so why should these people be allowed to live with a clear conscience?
After saying that, Qin slowly added, "If the old man and the others want to see me, we can give them something to do and make them suffer a bit first."
After saying that, she returned to the couch and slowly closed her eyes.
I didn't sleep at all last night, and I'm exhausted. If I don't get some rest, I won't have the strength to fight the Qin family.
Seeing this, Gan Luo didn't say anything and simply left.
Since the manager had instructed him to go along with the Qin family, Gan Luo would carry it out to the end. Doing more and asking less is the rule in their line of work.
When the Qin family saw Gan Luo come out, they immediately surrounded her, "Little Master, what did the girl say?"
"Sister Qin agreed to see you, but because of the previous unpleasantness, she is very unhappy and wants to do something to vent."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes immediately lighting up.
There is indeed hope!
"Don't worry, young master," Qin's father said with a smile. "We did not handle things properly before, and it's normal for the girl to want to vent her anger. I can understand."
"It's good that you understand!"
After Ganluo finished speaking, he immediately sent someone over, saying, "Here are two basins of clothes and two basins of socks. Wash these first."
"Wash these first?" Qin's father's smile froze. "What do you mean? Is there something else to do?"
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon." Gan Luo said and left.
He wasn't afraid that these people would outwardly comply but inwardly defy him. These thugs were not to be trifled with, and they just happened to be looking for an excuse to beat someone up.
Looking at the wooden basin that was stuffed full, Qin's mother frowned and asked, "Why are there so many clothes?"
She strongly suspected that her daughter was deliberately retaliating against her, her mother, because she had previously forced her daughter to wash the whole family's clothes with cold water.
"Stop arguing, hurry up and wash her, let her vent her anger first."
"What?" Qin's mother looked at Qin's father incredulously, "You're letting me wash by myself?"
So many clothes and socks, smelly and dirty, she had to work her back to break to wash them all by herself.
The water is still very cold, and after soaking for several hours, her hands are so sore they're unusable.
"Otherwise, you'd expect us to help?" Qin's father frowned and said, "How can we meddle in your women's work?"
That would be so embarrassing!
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother immediately retorted, "How can I finish washing it all by myself? Why can't you help? This isn't just my responsibility."
If she hadn't known she couldn't refuse, Qin really wouldn't have wanted to do it.
Since her son got married, she has only been supervising her daughter-in-law's work and hasn't moved around much herself.
When it comes to work, he's no longer as efficient as he used to be.
“But we only have one woman, Mother,” Qin Lao Er said, pursing his lips. “No one, the men, has ever washed our clothes. If word gets out, what will people think of us three?”
"That's right," Qin's father scolded, his brows furrowed. "Hurry up and wash the clothes. Don't delay important matters. You used to be able to shirk your responsibilities without any problem, but not now."
