Although they were clearly kicked out of the Qin family and the family was announced to be divided, it was treated as if there was no division at all, all because Mrs. Qin and Aunt Guihua loved to stir up trouble and treated the second wife like cattle and horses. Every day, Qin Wanqing and her brother had to go to the Qin family to do laundry, cooking and chores for the first wife, and they also had to work to earn work points.
This is not all. At the end of the year, food is distributed according to work, and two-thirds of the food is taken away by Mrs. Qin, under the pretext of providing for the elderly.
What a useless old man! He would come to the second room several times a month to plunder the house. Whenever he found something good, Mrs. Qin and Aunt Guihua would take it all away like a swarm of locusts, even the mushrooms and wild vegetables that the brother and sister had just picked up from the mountains.
When the second wife refused to give, Mrs. Qin used filial piety to persuade her, and it worked every time. They saw that Qin Wenyan was loyal and righteous, and always remembered the grace of adoption, so they asked the Qin family to give.
Gu Wanwan's spiritual sense went to the next door and saw the Qin family and their daughter-in-law who were trying to stir up trouble. "I heard that you two have separated. Since you have separated, each family should do its own thing. Why do you still want to be controlled by the Qin family just because of the pitiful grace of adoption?"
Qin Wenyan smiled weakly and palely, "If it weren't for the Qin family, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't have met Xue Yao and given birth to a pair of children. Although life is a little hard, as long as our family can be together, it's enough!"
Gu Wanwan thought he was too stupid and too foolish. "It's impossible for us to be together. Mrs. Qin and Aunt Guihua, under the instruction of the captain, spread rumors that your daughter and I have lost our innocence. They deliberately used this as an excuse to marry Wanqing to an old man in order to find a job in the city for Qin Aibao."
"You are foolishly loyal and filial, and you care about family affection, but in the end your adoptive mother wants to sell your daughter. Do you still respect her?"
"I don't believe you didn't notice that you were seriously injured. It was Granny Qin who did it. She used filial piety to force you to give up your throne to Qin Guosheng. You regarded the Qin family as your benefactor, but they regarded you as their slave. Besides, it's not certain whether they are your benefactors or not."
Qin Wanqing's eyes suddenly turned red, filled with grievance and anger, "Mom and Dad, I won't get married. We have already separated. Why do you want to control my life?"
"Don't cry, sister. I will earn money to support you for the rest of my life. If Mrs. Qin dares to steal me, I will fight them." Qin Jinyu was only six years old. The poverty at home forced him to grow up. In order to reduce the burden on his family, he worked hard to learn how to set traps to catch prey. He even went to places like the black market.
I sold the prey for a small amount of money, which I used to buy medicine for my father's medical treatment. However, I didn't always get prey, and it was common for me to go days without any catch.
Why not keep it for the family? The main reason is that they can't keep it. Whenever there is a little fragrance coming from the second house, Granny Qin will bring people to kill them immediately. Instead of letting Granny Qin's family get a good deal, it's better to sell them all.
It’s a pity that my father’s illness has not been cured after being treated for so long.
Qin Wenyan felt very uncomfortable, "Don't worry, Xiaoqing, Daddy and your grandma have made it clear that Daddy will not let you get married easily!"
Lin Xueyao burst into tears, pouring out all the grievances in her heart, and cried, "Will my foster mother listen to you? Every time she brings up filial piety, what can you do? Brother Yan, let's leave Shuiqing Brigade. There is no room for us here anymore. If we don't leave, Xiaoqing's life will be ruined."
"Why are our lives so miserable? We are all orphans abandoned by our biological parents, and we have to live with such a blood-sucking foster family..."
Qin Wenyan frowned and sighed, his expression slightly sad. "Without a letter of introduction and money, where can we go? I'm dragging this useless body to trouble you, and my family still owes so much money to the eldest wife..."
The cruelty of reality once again hit the family of four hard.
Qin Jinyu clenched his fists, and the light in his eyes seemed to disappear in an instant. He hated himself for being a child and unable to change his family's situation and future.
The twins took Qin Jinyu's hand and coaxed him like an adult, "Good baby, don't cry, don't cry, I can cure the disease, and your daddy will be well soon!"
Qin Jinyu raised her eyes suddenly and cried, "Really? My dad...is paralyzed."
Gu Wanwan nodded calmly, "Paralysis is not difficult to cure. I can cure even broken bones and flesh. I am 100% sure of curing your father's illness. The question is, after your father is cured, will he continue to work for the Qin family?"
Her words were like a reassurance to the whole family, especially Qin Wanqing and her brother. They had witnessed Gu Wanwan's abilities with their own eyes. "Dad is saved. No one is calling him a cripple anymore."
Lin Xueyao fell to her knees with a thud, and Gu Wanwan knelt down. "Comrade Gu, as long as you save my husband, I will do anything, even my life!"
"Why would I want your life? But I do know someone." Gu Wanwan pulled Lin Xueyao up and smiled mysteriously, "A person who looks 70% like you. She is from Shanghai and was born in the Wei family. She once lost a daughter, and later kindly adopted a wet nurse's daughter. That adopted daughter legitimately took over the magpie's nest. Until now, Madam Wei has never given up looking for her precious daughter."
"Soon, the adopted daughter will come to Shuiqing Brigade in a grand manner. In order to make the village more lively, I asked my partner to call Madam Wei over!"
Lin Xueyao only felt a dull pain in her head, as if some scene flashed through her mind. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember anything. "My head hurts so much, I..."
Gu Wanwan examined her and found a butterfly-shaped birthmark behind her ear. "You had a head injury and lost your memory. The birthmark behind your ear is really amazing. I can see it as soon as I turn my head. It really makes me look forward to it."
"These days are becoming more and more promising, aren't they?"
Tears welled up in Lin Xueyao's eyes, and all her resentment disappeared in an instant. Could it be that her parents had deliberately abandoned her and didn't love her, but that she was lost in an accident?
"Yeah, there is hope. Maybe I will recover my memory soon."
Qin Wenyan was really happy for his wife. He wondered when he would be able to find his relatives.
Forget it, let it be. Some things cannot be forced. He is not like his wife, who has a mother who loves her and has not given up looking for her for decades.
It is said that Qin Wanqing's siblings revealed that their biological father Qin Wenyan was actually the nephew of Mrs. Qin, who was the adopted daughter of their biological grandmother. The original candidate was the second brother of the Qin family, but the second brother of the Qin family liked their biological grandmother. Later, the two sisters married the Qin brothers, with Mrs. Qin marrying the eldest brother and their biological grandmother marrying the second brother.
Due to an accident, the whereabouts of Qin's second brother was unknown. His grandmother went out to look for him, but he has not returned yet. Some people rumored that his grandmother abandoned her son and eloped with someone!
My father became an orphan, and the relatives thought he was a burden and no one was willing to adopt him. Finally, it was Mrs. Qin who took the initiative to step forward, adopted my father, and told him the truth: that her grandmother had run away with someone and went to live a good life in the city.
From then on, the second branch became the most humble existence in the Qin family.
Dad has always been grateful and treated Mrs. Qin as his own mother. Even though Mrs. Qin treated Dad very badly and all his food and clothes were leftovers from the Qin family, Dad never cared at all. After all, he was only an adopted son, not a biological son.
"Uncle Qin has something I want to remind you of..."
