150 Chapter 150: Idea

It was most appropriate for her young sister-in-law to step in to deal with this matter.

Her father-in-law doted on this daughter the most, and she had married out of the family. Even if this daughter dealt with the matter ruthlessly, her father-in-law would not bear a grudge.

On the other hand, if their eldest son’s household and the second son’s household said too much, the old man would not just bear a grudge.

It was easy for the ties in the whole big family to become strained when they lived together in the future.

Qin Erhu looked in the direction that Qin Xiaoyao walked off and sighed before turning around to leave.

Qin Xiaoyao went to Qin Dazhuang’s room.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Madam Zhang’s sobbing from inside.

An ominous look flashed across her face as Qin Xiaoyao pushed open the door.

Inside the room, Madam Zhang, who was in the outer room, saw Qin Xiaoyao almost immediately.

Madam Zhang’s hand which was holding the handkerchief trembled.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao, it was as if she had seen a ghost, and her face turned pale.

Seeing Madam Zhang’s bulging stomach, Qin Xiaoyao barely managed to suppress the anger in her heart.

“Get out,” she opened her mouth and said.

Madam Zhang’s body trembled again.

She quickly got up and ran out of the room.

Only after that person had left did Qin Xiaoyao feel the air in the room was more bearable.

After adjusting her mood, she went into the room to see her father.

Qin Dazhuang, who was in the inner room, had already heard the commotion outside and knew that his daughter had returned.

His mood had also changed from the initial frustration and worry to guilt and helplessness.

“Father…” As she entered the inner room, Qin Xiaoyao saw Qin Dazhuang lying on the bed.

Not only had he lost his previous lively spirit, but there were also blisters on his mouth.

“Why did you come?” Qin Dazhuang propped himself up as he tried to sit up.

Qin Xiaoyao hurried forward to help him up.

After helping Qin Dazhuang to sit up on the bed, she sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Why can’t I come? If I still didn’t come back, the whole family would be in chaos,” she said.

An evasive look flashed across Qin Dazhuang’s face.

“Did Erhu tell you?” he asked with some annoyance.

“Second Brother didn’t want to say it. I forced it out of him!” Qin Xiaoyao glared at her father in a foul mood.

“Hmph! You’re still trying to hide it at a time like this! Second Brother is really obedient. He almost hoodwinked me!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Dazhuang no longer felt angry at Qin Erhu.

Then, he spoke, “I know what to do for this matter. You don’t need to get involved.”

Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at her father.

“What are you going to do? You tell me. If you can really come up with a solution, I won’t get involved,” she said.

How could she not know her father’s character?

He appeared cold on the outside but was soft on the inside. He appeared rough and tough on the outside but was actually very indecisive on the inside.

If his character weren’t like this, he wouldn’t have allowed Madam Zhang to pester him to live separately from Big Brother and Second Brother in advance.

And he would most definitely not have handed money over to Madam Zhang, who had ‘previous offenses’ and ended up turning the whole family into such a mess.

“Then what do you intend to do?” Qin Dazhuang said helplessly in the end.

Indeed, he had not come up with any ideas yet.

The people from the gambling den came to make a scene, so he knew that Madam Zhang had emptied out the entire family’s fortune behind his back.

After that, he fainted on the spot from anger.

After he woke up, he wanted to divorce Madam Zhang and drive her away.

However, when he thought of the baby in her tummy, he couldn’t bear to do it.

Just a while ago, Madam Zhang had been sobbing and wailing in the outer room, making him extremely irritated.

He really regretted it. If he had known that marrying Madam Zhang would bring about so much trouble, he would never have married her.

However, now, he had already married her, and Madam Zhang was even pregnant with his child.

What else could he do?

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flicker.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What I intend to do depends on what you think, Father,” she said.

Qin Dazhuang looked at Qin Xiaoyao in bewilderment.

Qin Xiaoyao opened her mouth again. “Father, do you still want the child in Madam Zhang’s tummy?” she asked.

Qin Dazhuang’s body shuddered, and he immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“What are you going to do?” he asked nervously.

Qin Xiaoyao understood and smiled.

...

“I’m not doing anything. If you still want the child, there are ways to deal with this matter. If you don’t want the child, there are other ways to deal with the matter.”

Qin Dazhuang heaved a sigh of relief.

“The child is innocent. Besides, he will be born in two months,” he said with a sigh.

In the beginning, he had really looked forward to the arrival of the child, but now…

Nonetheless, it was still his child.

Even if the child’s mother did something wrong, the child was innocent.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

“That means you want the child.”

Qin Dazhuang glanced at his daughter and didn’t answer.

It was considered a tacit acknowledgment.

Qin Xiaoyao continued, “If you want the child, what about Madam Zhang?”

...

Qin Dazhuang’s expression changed.

“The child is in her body. Can…”

“Father, don’t think too much. You just need to tell me if you still want Madam Zhang after the child is born.” Qin Xiaoyao interrupted Qin Dazhuang.

Qin Dazhuang was silent.

After a long while, he finally closed his eyes.

“Forget it. If she doesn’t repent, she’ll be a disaster for the Qin family if she stays. In the future, when the child is born, it’s not good for the child to have a mother who takes the side of outsiders.”

A child without a mother was pitiful, but with a mother like that, perhaps the child would be even more pitiful.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded. She was satisfied that her father was not completely muddleheaded.

“Then Zhang Ershui…”

“Why should we care about that bastard? His life or death has nothing to do with the Qin family!” Qin Dazhuang quickly interrupted Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded again.

“Alright! I know what your intentions are now, Father.”

Qin Dazhuang immediately turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Then… what should we do?” he asked worriedly.

He still couldn’t come up with any ideas.

Since his daughter had returned and he had been thoroughly humiliated before her, he might as well allow his daughter to give him some ideas.

“Divorce her,” Qin Xiaoyao said right away.

Qin Dazhuang was shocked.

“But she’s still pregnant…” Qin Dazhuang didn’t finish his sentence as his daughter was glaring at him.

“There are no rules that say that a married woman cannot be divorced once she is expecting,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

“Madam Zhang committed the crime of theft. She stole the property of the family and privately helped her brother from her maiden family. And the amount involved was huge. It’s reasonable for you to divorce her, Father.”

“But…” Qin Dazhuang was still a little resistant, mainly because of the child in Madam Zhang’s tummy.

“You can talk to the Zhang family about the child. After the child is born, have them send the child over.”

“But… will they be willing to do so?” Qin Dazhuang finally wavered.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed.

“Naturally, they will not be willing. Moreover, even if Madam Zhang has made a mistake, it won’t be so easy for Father to divorce her.”

“Then what do we do?” Qin Dazhuang suddenly became nervous. Now, he was not against the idea of divorcing Madam Zhang at all.

“Just say we’ll report it to the authorities if they don’t agree.”

“It’s a fact that Madam Zhang stole money from our family. At that time, not only will Madam Zhang be divorced, but the entire Zhang family will also have to cough up the money to pay back and maybe even go to jail.”

A look of guilt flashed across Qin Dazhuang’s eyes.

“Report to the authorities?”

He was just a commoner who had lived for decades and had never once entered the premises of the government office. How would he dare to report it to the authorities?
