"So, what did that old geezer Qin Ruijin say?"
As soon as Li Xiaoxi came in, Hu Si hurriedly went up to her and asked her questions.
Li Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, shoved Hu Si with utter disdain, and cursed, "Get lost, I get annoyed just looking at you. Mom, get me some water, I'm dying of thirst."
She's been gone for so long, and it's freezing cold, and instead of asking how she is doing, she just keeps nagging about money. It's really enough.
Li Guihua brought over a glass of water, handed it to her daughter, and then eagerly asked, "Daughter, what did you say?"
Li Xiaoxi huffed spoiledly, "Do you still want me to drink water?"
"Why drink water? Tell your mother what happened first, so she can be mentally prepared," Li Guihua said impatiently.
The past six months have been so comfortable that Li Guihua simply cannot imagine what kind of life they would have to live after losing the village chief's financial support.
Moreover, because of that money, even the eldest son's wife kowtowed to her and apologized. If she lost that money, that slut would be out of control again.
"I'll drink first," Li Xiaoxi said, feeling annoyed that there wasn't a single person who truly cared about her.
After finishing her water, Li Xiaoxi said, "The old man has agreed to give up on Qin Laifu."
"real?"
That's great.
Li Guihua and Hu Si held hands, almost weeping with joy.
If Qin Ruijin uses the money to rescue Qin Laifu, they definitely won't get a single penny.
Li Xiaoxi glanced at the two people's clasped hands, blinked, and said nothing.
“Girl, is this child Qin Laifu’s or Qin Ruijin’s? If it’s Qin Laifu’s, that won’t do…” Li Guihua asked nervously.
She realized that Qin Ruijin was quite selfish.
If it were just his grandson, he might not take it seriously.
Therefore, only if he is Qin Ruijin's son, and his only son, does it have a different meaning for Qin Ruijin, and only then can their interests be maximized.
Hu Si nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, whose is it?"
Li Xiaoxi suddenly sneered.
How ridiculous!
She is pregnant.
Her husband, however, eagerly asked her whether her child was Qin Ruijin's or Qin Laifu's...
Didn't Hu Si ever consider that the child might be his?
Oh, right, Hu Si hardly ever touched her.
Especially later, Qin Laifu and his son became domineering and forbade Hu Si from touching her again, so the child naturally couldn't be Hu Si's.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Si frowned.
This young woman's temper is getting weirder and weirder.
If it weren't for the fact that I'm counting on her to make money, I'd really like to slap her to death.
"I lied to him and said the child was his, but he clearly didn't believe me," Li Xiaoxi said, somewhat annoyed.
I don't know what they don't believe.
Either he's his son or his grandson; they're both his offspring, so what's there to doubt?
Hu Si muttered, "That old man is so old, he probably doesn't think he has that ability anymore."
They're all so old, yet they still have so much fun!
This is retribution for what happened to my son!
Although Hu Si was willing to exchange Li Xiaoxi for money, he felt resentful when he heard the mockery from those around him.
So I'm feeling very conflicted right now.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks. If the old man doesn't believe it, it won't benefit any of us! I don't know what you're so happy about?"
Li Xiaoxi found Hu Si an eyesore and turned to look at the wall.
Why did she choose such a useless person?
The Shen family, it's all the Shen family's fault!
If the Shen family hadn't schemed against her, she wouldn't have married Hu Si, and she certainly wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
It is truly hateful.
"It's very simple. If you are carrying Qin Ruijin's only child, then whether it's a son or a grandson, he will cherish it as a treasure."
Hu Si spoke casually, gently stroking Li Xiaoxi's still barely noticeable belly. The smile on his lips sent chills down her spine, making her break out in a cold sweat!
Li Guihua blinked, her heart seemingly stopping, and asked blankly, "You mean... let Qin Laifu's two sons..."
"Don't rush, let's wait until Qin Laifu dies first."
Hu Si said calmly.
Everything needs to be planned slowly.
Fortunately, Xiaoxi is only two or three months pregnant, so he has more than half a year to make arrangements.
"You're really ruthless."
Li Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Hu Si, lacking her usual contempt and disdain.
She is terrified, wondering if Hu Si might take a dislike to her one day and kill her too!
"Don't worry, I won't be cruel to you. I'm counting on this baby for the rest of my life, so I have to take good care of him."
Hu Si stared at Li Xiaoxi's belly as if it were a gold ingot, his eyes filled with burning excitement.
This isn't a child, it's a gold ingot!
"...I will be fine."
Li Xiaoxi subconsciously gave a slurred reply.
She never imagined that Hu Si would be such a ruthless person.
It was truly amazing that I was able to forgive myself before...
"good."
——
That afternoon, Manager Gao of Wanwu Winery sent word that Qin Laifu had been transported away, but he didn't know where he had been sold.
Casinos all have their own ways and connections, which are unknown to others.
Half an hour later, the streets became lively.
It turned out that Qin Ruijin and his wife and daughter-in-law had returned. Qin Ruijin's wife and daughter-in-law had both fainted, and Qin Ruijin had several bruises on his face. He looked completely listless and as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"What a tragedy! If raising a child is like this, it would be better not to have one at all!"
"Who can argue with that?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Tian Guifen and Shen Wanli exchanged a glance, and finally felt at ease.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me for a moment." Uncle Qin stepped forward, leaning on his cane. His voice was old but deep, and he was full of energy. "I'm sure you all know about what happened to Ruijin's family... After discussing it, we've decided that Ruijin is really no longer suitable to serve as the village chief."
However, the selection of a new village chief cannot be decided immediately. Until a new village chief is chosen, I will serve as the head of the village for the time being…”
"I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone recently. I apologize!"
Qin Shuye bowed to everyone in apology.
The villagers were incredibly excited.
"Ancestor, what does this have to do with you?"
"Exactly, it didn't affect us at all, so why are you apologizing?"
...
Qin Ruijin listened blankly to the noise outside, feeling utterly numb.
He never imagined it would end like this: he couldn't save his son, and he lost his position as village chief...
