Judging from his expression, it was as if he himself was the one who had bullied him, and he kept nodding and admitting his mistake.
Xia Lan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at Qin Tao with pity.
They blamed all the faults on Wang Guihua, as if to say how unlucky Qin Tao was to marry a wife like Wang Guihua.
If Qin Tao said he didn't know Qin Yu had been reassigned, Xia Lan would never believe it, not even if you beat her to death.
If he didn't know about this, why didn't he stop Wang Guihua when she went so far? And if he did know, why didn't he try to dissuade her?
She had finished everything, and everything was settled. He then hypocritically came out and claimed that he knew nothing and that it was all Wang Guihua's own doing.
How can there be such disgusting people?
Xia Lan couldn't stand it anymore and opened the door.
“Father-in-law, I’m a woman who married into the family, so I don’t quite understand. May I ask you something? When did she become the one in charge of your family?” Xia Lan slowly walked out, and Qin Yu immediately stepped forward to protect her.
Xia Lan's words made everyone pause, and upon reflection, they realized it made sense.
In traditional family matters, the woman can only make decisions if the man of the house agrees.
Without Qin Tao's approval, would Wang Guihua have dared to do such a thing?
In an instant, everyone's gaze changed.
A fierce glint flashed in Qin Tao's eyes, before he regained his innocent expression.
"She's always been the one in charge in our family..." Qin Tao replied with a smile.
"Since she's in charge, why are you interfering?" Xia Lan blinked innocently and smiled.
Everyone was taken aback.
you do not say!
If Wang Guihua is in charge, then how can he control her?
"She still listens to me, her man!" Qin Tao looked at Xia Lan, who fearlessly grinned at him.
"If I listen to you, why do I keep ignoring you?"
"..." Qin Tao was caught off guard by Xia Lan's words and choked.
"Since you've separated the family, why are you so shameless as to come to our door and ask Qin Yu to come home and do chores?"
"They said they've separated, so why can Qin Ming still so confidently say that Qin Yu's money is his money?"
"Didn't you make things clear when you divided the family property? Didn't you say that we'd give you five yuan a year for retirement and that we'd have nothing to do with each other anymore?"
Xia Lan kept asking questions, even though Xu Fulin had just asked the same questions, but after Xia Lan finished her conversation with Qin Tao...
When Qin Tao was asked again, everyone sensed a different meaning in his previous answers.
"I will stop her from now on and I will never let her bother you again." Qin Tao lowered his head with great shame and said to Xia Lan and Qin Yu.
"My son, I'm sorry for what I did." After saying this, Qin Tao was about to kneel down before Qin Yu.
Xia Lan sneered. Qin Tao's kneeling was a clear attempt to label them as unfilial. No matter what happened in the future, this label of unfilial piety would never be removed.
The older generation in the village values filial piety the most.
Making one's biological father kneel before one's father is a crime punishable by divine retribution.
Xia Lan tugged at Qin Yu, and Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan. Just as Qin Tao was about to kneel down, Xia Lan pulled Qin Yu down to kneel before Qin Tao.
The moment the two knelt down, Qin Tao's plan to bend his knees and kneel down was immediately interrupted.
"You are Qin Yu's parents, and I am Qin Yu's wife. When I married into the family, I heard Qin Yu say that we had separated our households, so I was unable to pay my respects to you. Now we are paying our respects to you. Please, have mercy and let Brother Yu go!" Xia Lan looked at Qin Tao with tears in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance silenced everyone present.
“Brother Yu has worked for you for more than ten years, which can be considered as repaying your kindness in raising him. Now that he has been separated from you, this old house and a hundred yuan are all we have. We have no right to this, nor do we have any complaints.”
"We ask for nothing else, we just ask that you give us a peaceful life!"
Xia Lan's voice was hoarse and strained, containing no accusation, yet it was so pitiful.
Yes! Who gives their son only 100 yuan when they're dividing the family property? At least an old house provides shelter from the wind and rain, but 100 yuan is really...
When he married Xia Lan, he went around telling everyone that he would give her an exorbitant dowry of two hundred.
But if Xia Lan hadn't said anything, none of them would have known that Wang Guihua hadn't given Xia Lan the two hundred yuan at all.
Xia Lan forced her to hand over the two hundred yuan, threatening to report her to the police otherwise, before she finally agreed to pay.
Hearing this, it's clear that Xia Lan and Qin Yu are truly disliked by their in-laws.
Even after the family split up, Qin Yu was still asked to come home and do chores. Qin Ming even asked Qin Yu for money. Wasn't that obviously a way of asking for that hundred yuan back?
"Oh dear, I hadn't even thought of that if Xia hadn't mentioned it!"
"So, this young couple is really in a bad situation. They separated and only got a hundred yuan each, but Qin Ming is asking for ten yuan right off the bat."
"They say Qin Tao can't control Wang Guihua, but how could Wang Guihua have such audacity?"
"I also heard last time that Wang Guihua didn't give Xia Lan two hundred yuan, and when Qin Tao found out, he beat her up when he got back..."
"Is this just an act for us? Was he beaten because Xia Lan took the money?"
"Tsk...now that you mention it, I really can't tell..."
"..."
Qin Tao's face darkened as he listened to the villagers' whispers.
Qin Tao glanced at Wang Guihua, who was looking down, with his sinister eyes. Wang Guihua felt Qin Tao's gaze and trembled.
"Stop talking nonsense! Isn't it only natural for Qin Yu to work for me? I'm his mother, and he has to do whatever I tell him to do!" Wang Guihua shouted, her sharp gaze fixed on Qin Yu and Xia Lan.
Xia Lan watched as Wang Guihua rushed over again. Qin Yu's injuries from this morning had just been treated! If she grabbed him again, Qin Yu would have to get grabbed by her while trying to protect her.
