Chapter 504: Not for Myself, But for the Children
After a preliminary examination, Ran Qingxuan determined that the person showed signs of hypothermia. He placed his hand on his pulse and his expression changed instantly.
He glanced at the Qian family calmly and said to Qian Cheng, "Move them into the house as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in trouble if they continue to freeze like this."
Qian Cheng was helped up by Guo Zhanyong, and he tried to pick up Guo Cuirong despite the pain in his leg.
The Guo family all knew that Qian Cheng had not been in cahoots with their family, and they acknowledged this son-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ah Cheng, let her brother carry the person home first!"
Qian Cheng nodded, looked back at his parents and two brothers, then limped away without hesitation following the Guo family.
Seeing that he left without even taking the bedding and clothes thrown on the ground, Zhu Baoju immediately started cursing.
"You are such a heartless person. At home, you have plenty of food and drink. We even support you even though you are disabled."
"Just for this little bitch who doesn't lay eggs, you said you wanted to separate from the family, but you don't even care about your parents. You are unworthy of being a son..."
"Brother, you are going too far in angering our parents like this."
Qian Cheng paused and turned around. The Qian family members were stared at by his cold eyes, and their arrogance was immediately extinguished...
"I joined the army at the age of 18 and returned home at the age of 26. During the eight years, I sent home almost all of my salary, a total of 200 taels of silver."
"You used the money I earned from eight years of hard work to give to Qian Tai, Qian Shun, and Qian Ming, and helped them get married and buy property, but now you say I am unworthy of being your son?"
After saying that, Qian Cheng turned and looked at his two brothers.
"You used my money to marry a wife and raise a son. Who among you has ever thought about my goodness?"
"Ever since Qian Ming became the county governor, I have been no different from a useless person in your eyes."
"Just because of the two hundred taels of silver you gave me, you still treat me as your son for the time being."
"Now that you have kept the money, I claim that I have done my best. No matter what evil things you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me, Qian Cheng!"
After saying that, Qian Cheng turned around and left without hesitation. Seeing this, the people around him stopped watching.
Almost all the pointing and criticizing reached the ears of the Qian family, and the whole family immediately felt embarrassed.
The people from the Guo clan and the Lin clan couldn't help but follow, wanting to see how Guo Cuirong was doing.
The Guo family was very angry with the Qian couple, but because the Qian couple had great power in the village and they were also worried about their daughter's life, they did not argue with them.
But the Guo family members were all holding a grudge, and Qian Cheng felt a little guilty towards the two elders because of this.
"Hurry up and ask someone to go back and boil some hot water. Her condition is a little dangerous. We need to change her clothes immediately."
The nephew of the Guo family ran very fast, and when they returned, the water had already boiled.
"Men, don't come in. Leave two women to take off her clothes and wipe them several times, and then change her into dry clothes."
Several women from the Guo clan went in to change Guo Cuirong's clothes, and Ran Qingxuan took out the medicinal herbs from the space and gave them to Chang Fang.
Chang Fang took the herbs and was about to mix them. After seeing the medicine clearly in her hand, she suddenly looked up at Ran Qingxuan.
"Sister Ran, she?"
Ran Qingxuan nodded, motioning her to go and boil the medicine, then walked out of the house and stood in the yard.
There were many villagers outside the gate of the Guo family. In the yard, Qian Cheng was talking to the two elders of the Guo family with his head down.
"I still have some money. I can find a house to live in the village, and buy two acres of thin land to make a living."
The two elders of the Guo family felt bitter inside, but they still comforted him, "We know that you treat Cuirong very well. It doesn't matter if things get tough in the future. The main thing is that you two are fine."
Although their daughter took the initiative to marry into the Qian family, all the Guo family members knew that Guo Cuirong had been in love with Qian Cheng before, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to propose.
But Qian Cheng didn't know the truth and just thought that she proposed to marry him in order to reduce the burden on her family.
After listening to their conversation, Ran Qingxuan walked up and asked, "Have you really decided to break up with your family?"
Qian Cheng didn't understand what she meant, but nodded firmly.
"In that case, you have to make up your mind. Your life will not be easy from now on."
The Guo family and Qian Cheng were somewhat puzzled. Ran Qingxuan said calmly, "Your wife is already one and a half months pregnant, but her health is very poor. In addition, she was just beaten, and there are signs of miscarriage..."
When Ran Qingxuan said this, not only the onlookers were shocked, but even Old Man Guo and his wife and Guo Zhanyong had their mouths half open and were unable to speak.
Qian Cheng stared with his eyes wide open for a long time without coming back to his senses, feeling a little bit at a loss.
"Cui Rong is pregnant?"
Then they realized what Ran Qingxuan said later, that Guo Cuirong had miscarried because she was beaten...
The next second, before anyone could react, Qian Cheng knelt down in front of Ran Qingxuan.
"What are you doing?"
Ran Qingxuan moved to the side to make room, but Qian Cheng moved right after him.
"Mrs. Gu, I know my father and my brothers have made things difficult for you before, but my wife is innocent. No matter how much it costs, please save Cuirong."
Seeing that the two elders of the Guo family also wanted to kneel down and beg her, Ran Qingxuan felt a headache.
It seems like she won't save you unless you kneel down.
"I didn't say I wouldn't save anyone. You get up and talk first."
Ran Qingxuan was somewhat helpless and said directly: "I am not as narrow-minded as your family members. I can tell right from wrong."
Qian Cheng was helped up by Guo Zhanyong, and an embarrassed look flashed across his face.
"It is Qian who is narrow-minded. Madam, please forgive me."
"My junior sister and I will do our best to keep the child, but the responsibility of taking care of the child and the child's mother will fall on your shoulders from now on."
"If I'm guessing correctly, your wife endured being bullied in the Qian family in order to make things easier for you, right?"
Qian Cheng lowered his head silently: "I am sorry for Cuirong..."
"If not for yourself, you have to think about your children. From now on, you will be a family of three. If you don't stand firm, how will your wife and your children survive?"
There was something else behind Ran Qingxuan's words, and Qian Cheng understood what she meant after a moment's thought.
"From now on, I will be the head of the family, and I will never let Cuirong and the children suffer."
Amid the surprised gazes of the crowd, Qian Cheng walked straight out.
The onlookers were curious and followed him directly back to Qian's house.
The Qian family was expressing their dissatisfaction with Qian Cheng, but they didn't expect him to come back.
"What are you doing back here again? Do you regret splitting up?"
Qian Cheng said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you stay as the salary given by the army is not worth it."
"But you can't take a penny of the reward I gave you in exchange for my leg."
After going out for a while, Qian Cheng came back and asked them for the reward money, which made Qian Lizheng and his wife furious.
When Qian Tai and Qian Shun heard that he came back to ask for money, their ugly faces were instantly exposed.
"Whoever brings up the idea of dividing the family property first, the things and property in the house cannot be taken away. Now you come back to ask for money, I tell you that there is no way..."
Qian Cheng sneered, "The general I saved is now a third-rank official. If I write to him and tell him about this, do you think Qian Ming can still be the county magistrate?"
