"It turns out that I am indeed not a child of the Qin family, not her biological son. They deliberately switched my identity card with their son's so that their son could enjoy wealth and luxury in a rich family, while no matter how much I do for the family, they will never like me."
“In their eyes, my status has never changed; I have always been seen as a laborer.”
"For a moment, I felt incredibly ridiculous."
Old Du patted Qin Yu on the shoulder. "For you, this might not be a bad thing."
"Is it a good thing?" Qin Yu looked at Elder Du. Why would it be a good thing?
"The fact that they did such a heinous thing proves that their thinking itself is flawed. No matter what their reasons were in the first place, they cannot deny this fact," Old Du said slowly.
“You are not their child. Although you have suffered so much injustice over the years, in the long run, you are free.”
Old Du's words made Qin Yu pause, and his mood did indeed improve considerably.
"What goes around comes around. They will eventually pay the price for what they have done. No one can escape it." Old Du patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.
"Now that you know about this, their actions will naturally not affect you, and you will be more vigilant when dealing with them, preventing such a thing from happening again."
"You and your wife, you are both good children. Don't lose yourselves because of these people. They are not worth it." Old Du thought he would not make it through that day, but fate allowed Xia Lan and Qin Yu to find him.
They saved him, and this was the first time in all the years that Old Du had been sent to the countryside that he felt the world was not all evil towards him.
Every time he felt he was about to give up, the world would give him a glimmer of hope, allowing him to keep going.
Since he was not destined to die, he believed that he would eventually achieve victory.
Qin Yu nodded after listening to what Elder Du said.
"Thank you." Qin Yu felt enlightened. Now that he knew the truth, he no longer needed to worry about the Qin family, nor did he need to feel burdened by them.
As Elder Du said, Qin Yu felt a little relieved after learning that he was not a member of the Qin family, because he knew exactly what kind of people the Qin family were.
Qin Tao is clearly a sadist. Whenever he gets drunk or something displeases him, he likes to beat Wang Guihua and drag her into the room to beat her. However, in public, he pretends to be honest and kind.
Wang Guihua was even more ridiculous. She was clearly being abused by Qin Tao, yet she still enjoyed serving him. Even when he beat her until she was covered in bruises, she never thought of escaping from him.
She also taught her daughter Qin Yu every day to think about the Qin family and to support her family and help her brother Qin Ming even after she got married.
With a father like Qin Tao, there's bound to be a troublemaker like Qin Ming. When Qin Yu was working, he never thought of helping, and even liked to look down on Qin Yu from a superior position and order him around.
He pretends to be obedient and well-behaved in public, but behind closed doors he is a beast who abuses animals.
Previously, Qin Yu discovered that many chickens in his house had died for no apparent reason. He initially thought it was the neighbors who did it, until one time he came home early and saw that Qin Ming was actually strangling one of the chickens until it was almost suffocating to death before letting it go. However, he would continue doing so after a while.
The chickens in the house died one after another because of how he treated them.
After Qin Ming found Qin Yu, he threatened him not to tell his parents and then left.
Later, the chickens at home were fine, but many other families in the village also experienced the same inexplicable death of their chickens.
Qin Yu guessed that Qin Ming was responsible for all of that.
Qin Yu had thought Qin Yu would be better, but he discovered that what made Qin Yu so terrifying was that she knew how to use her status as a woman to seek personal gain.
Who would have thought that a seventeen-year-old girl who should have been pure and charming was secretly entangled with four or five men?
Qin Yu first learned about Qin Yu's relationship with her teacher from Tian Min.
Qin Yu used her teacher's connections to target a girl she disliked, preventing the girl from attending school.
She used her youth to achieve her own goals.
Qin Yu had tried to win her back before, but Qin Yu and Qin Ming never took him seriously and spent his hard-earned money without a care in the world.
Looking back now, perhaps everyone in the Qin family except him knew his identity, and the two siblings also knew that he was not their biological older brother, which is why they were so unscrupulous and disregarded him.
"Judging from your expression, you must have figured it out." Old Du smiled and stood up when he saw Qin Yu's frown finally relax.
"Old Du, what are you going to do with all these herbs?" Qin Yu stood up with Old Du and took the basket from his hand.
"You saved my life, so I can't keep going down this path of despair. If God won't let me die, then I have to do my best to save my own life," Old Du said with a smile.
"This basket is full of medicines. This is for pain relief, this is for reducing swelling, these are for stopping bleeding, and these few are for treating colds..."
"Old Du, you're a doctor?" Qin Yu was taken aback; Old Du really was a man of few words.
"I'm not a doctor, but I can read. I used to enjoy reading!" Old Du said slowly with a smile to Qin Yu.
"I know the country is sick now, but I believe that there are still many people who are persisting in healing it. One day, dawn will come, and when that time comes, it will be my time to serve my country."
"I have to persevere until then."
Qin Yu silently watched Old Du, who waved his hand and chuckled. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just think of it as this old man's nonsense."
"I understand." Qin Yu smiled slightly and said softly.
"You understand? Then tell me what I mean..." Old Du laughed, thinking Qin Yu was just putting on a brave face.
"The disease of this country is man-made, isn't it?" Qin Yu looked at Old Du, who immediately stopped smiling.
"you……"
Old Du's eyes widened.
"Actually, I could have avoided this injury." Qin Yu suddenly raised his right hand and pointed to the scar on his hand.
"In one mission, we were tasked with delaying the enemy as much as possible to cover the retreat of our comrades. Reinforcements would arrive soon, and all we had to do was hold on."
"But at the most critical moment, the higher command suddenly ordered the reinforcements to retreat and chose to abandon us. I led my brothers to fight to the death, and one brother after another sacrificed themselves. We held on with our last belief, but we held on for three days and the reinforcements did not arrive. In the end, we were spared because the enemy was ordered to retreat."
