Chapter 54 054 Your dad will always be your dad
After teasing Aunt Chunhua for a while, everyone listened to her continue her story.
"I heard a noise in the reeds, so I didn't move. After a short while, I heard more noise coming from inside..."
Aunt Chunhua glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao but didn't say anything more.
But everyone understood that the two had gotten together.
Qin Xiaoxiao understood, but she couldn't show it, so she looked at everyone blankly, then looked at Aunt Chunhua, signaling her to continue.
Aunt Chunhua coughed and continued speaking with a flushed face.
"I didn't dare move, afraid of disturbing the people inside. I waited for a long time before they stopped talking. Then I heard people talking inside. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but the voice sounded very familiar. After they finished talking, I quickly hid. And guess what? Guess who I saw?"
Aunt Chunhua looked mysterious, which drew everyone closer to her.
"Who is it? How can someone be so shameless?"
Aunt Chunhua smiled and said softly, "I can tell you who it is, but don't tell anyone else. I won't admit it after the party."
In fact, Aunt Chunhua was not afraid of people coming to cause her trouble at all. Putting aside the impact this matter would have on those two if it got out, not just anyone would dare to come knocking on her door for her five sons.
In addition, her brother-in-law and his younger brother-in-law all live together, and there are many boys in the family, so who would dare to come and cause trouble?
Aunt Chunhua was known in the village for her shrewishness and had offended many people. She was also a notorious gossip, spreading half of the village's rumors. Yet, despite all this, no one dared to mess with her, simply because there were too many men in her family to beat her.
"Hurry up, we still have work to do in a bit."
Seeing that everyone was getting anxious, Aunt Chun smugly smoothed her hair behind her ear and said, "What's the rush? It's not like we're not going to tell you. Just wait."
Aunt Chunhua whispered, "The other one is the eldest son of Qin Laosan's family at the end of the village, and the other one is Ding, an educated youth from the educated youth settlement."
Everyone was startled upon hearing this and immediately fell silent.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at everyone, puzzled. "Is there something wrong? It's normal for people to date, right? Maybe they'll get married sometime soon?"
Everyone looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with complicated expressions.
But look at the children, their faces are all pale!
Do they really give you this kind of attitude when you're just dating normally?
Qin Xiaoxiao is so clever. As soon as she saw that everyone's expression was off, she immediately thought of an affair.
Oh no, the eldest son of Qin Laosan's family must be married. These two are having an extramarital affair!
A mistress! Ding Zhiqing was a mistress!
But which one is Ding Zhiqing?
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't spend much time with the educated youth at the educated youth settlement. She could remember the new educated youth, but there were more than a dozen old educated youth. How could she possibly remember them all?
Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao only knew that such a person existed, but she had no impression of what he looked like.
"We can't talk about this; we'll keep it to ourselves."
Aunt Liu sensed something was wrong and quickly instructed everyone, especially Qin Xiaoxiao. She specifically told her not to tell Qin Feng, and even more so not to go back to the educated youth settlement to ask which one was Ding, the educated youth.
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
No one had any more interest in gossiping, and they all dispersed to get back to work.
Qin Xiaoxiao also buried herself in hard work. After several days of effort, she was finally able to increase her height from ten meters to twenty meters a day, but she also developed two blisters on her hands.
At lunchtime, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to carry her stool; she tossed it to Qin Ye and ran back to the Qin family home, showing her fingers to Old Mrs. Qin.
"Grandma, Grandma, it hurts, waaaaah..."
Seeing her eldest granddaughter with tears welling up in her eyes, Grandma Qin felt so heartbroken!
Grabbing Qin Xiaoxiao's fingers, he looked down and saw that there was a shiny blister on each of her right thumb and index finger, almost bursting.
"Thud"
A crystal tear fell onto the back of Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao was shocked and looked up at Old Madam Qin.
It turned out that Grandma Qin was so heartbroken that tears were falling from her eyes.
Seeing that Grandma Qin was crying, Qin Xiaoxiao was filled with regret!
Her grandmother favored her and only cared about her, but she made her grandmother cry.
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't cry. It's just two blisters, it's nothing serious. Can you pop them for me and put some medicine on them? It'll be fine tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Qin obediently turned her head to look for the needle, crying as she searched, muttering to herself.
"It's all your grandpa's fault for being useless. If he had given you an easier job earlier, you wouldn't be injured like this. It's all his fault!"
Qin Feng, unaware of Qin Xiaoxiao's injury, was already hated by his mother.
Seeing how pitiful Grandma Qin was crying, Qin Xiaoxiao, who wanted to say a good word for Grandpa Qin, silently shut her mouth and lit a candle for him.
Qin Aiguo arrived home shortly after, and upon seeing his wife's red and swollen eyes, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Who? Who messed with you? I'll kill him!"
His wife has cried several times these days. He tolerated it once or twice, but this time he won't tolerate it no matter what. No matter who offends her, he will not let them off the hook.
It's no wonder Qin Aiguo felt this way; it was all because he felt deeply guilty towards his wife. He had run away when Qin Feng was just born and hadn't been heard from for years. His wife hadn't suffered any hardship at home, but in the eyes of outsiders, it looked like he had abandoned her.
What good can a woman who has been abandoned have? In those turbulent years, the old wife never thought of leaving the family. She endured it all by herself for several years. When he came back, she faced the situation where her husband was injured and unable to take care of himself. She had to take care of him while she was getting out of bed. This weak little woman turned herself into a shrew.
Therefore, Qin Aiguo felt not only love and respect for his wife, but also guilt and self-blame.
In his mind, it's okay to scold him, but not his wife; it's okay to hit him, but not his wife. If anyone dares to provoke his wife, he'll fight them to the death, no matter who they are. Even if it's his son who offends his wife, he'll still beat them without hesitation.
Qin Aiguo's eyebrows furrowed, and the scars on his face became even more ferocious with his anger. Even Qin Xiaoxiao, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but gasp and hide behind Old Madam Qin.
Grandma Qin was used to it and wasn't afraid at all. She pointed to the door and started crying.
"It's all because of your eldest son. In this family, whoever makes me cry is his fault."
Qin Feng, who had just stepped one foot through the door, suddenly stopped. Hearing the familiar crying sound from inside the house, he silently withdrew his foot.
It seems there's something he hasn't finished dealing with at the village office; he needs to go back and double-check.
Qin Feng turned and left, taking increasingly larger strides until he was jogging, and then his running speed became unbelievably fast.
As Su Zhiyuan was walking home, he felt a gust of wind blow by, but when he turned around, he saw nothing.
"What went by? Did a wolf come down from the mountain? Or did a leopard come out?"
Su Zhiyuan scratched his head in confusion, shook his head, and went home.
Unable to find anyone, Qin Aiguo, who was helplessly yelling at home, vowed to teach his eldest son a lesson. After saying that, he went to the woodshed, found a wooden stick as thick as a baby's arm, pulled a chair from the house, and sat down imposingly at the gate of the yard, waiting for his eldest son, who was about to take the blame, to come home.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at her grandfather sitting at the gate of the courtyard, then at her grandmother who seemed completely unaffected, and swallowed hard.
This incident shows that your father will always be your father, no matter how high your official rank is, you will still be under his control; and your mother will always be your mother, she will never hesitate to harm her son.
