241 Seek justice?
âToday, Auntie brought Qin Qingduo and the others to the private school in the neighboring village.â
Qin Qingyuan suddenly said. His words made Madam Wang understand why he was in a bad mood.
In the past, there were only a few children in the Qin village who could afford to attend a private school, and Qin Qingyuan was one of them. At that time, the children in the village were envious of him.
Ever since they separated from the eldest branch, the Qin familyâs days had been getting worse and worse. Qin Shi kept a close eye on their money, and Qin Xu would return home every two or three days to ask for money. If he couldnât get it, he would beat people up. If he couldnât get the money, he would catch the familyâs livestock and sell them.
!!
Without money at home, Qin Qingyuan couldnât afford to pay for his books, paper and pens so it was natural for him to drop out of school.
Now that he had to watch the first household happily go to the private school, how could he be happy in his heart?
âQingyuan, you, you, youâ¦â
Madam Née wang wanted to comfort her son, but she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Her sonâs whole body was filled with rejection that kept strangers away, and whatever she said at this time was useless to him.
âQingyuan, give your mother some time. I will definitely let you go back to school.â
Madam Wangâs words made Qin Qingyuanâs body stiffen. He stopped and slowly turned around. His expressionless face suddenly pulled into a cold smile.
âMother, even if you donât believe your own words, do you expect me to believe them?â
He had long been used to his motherâs submissiveness. The familyâs life was like this, and she still wanted to live on, so what hope could he have for her?
Seeing the indifference and distrust in her sonâs eyes, Madam née Wangâs heart was torn in pain.
This pair of children was her life!
If it wasnât for them, why would she have to swallow her anger and live such a life in the Qin family?
Madam Née Wang bit her lips hard until her mouth was filled with the taste of blood, but she still didnât feel any pain.
âQingyuan, I promise you that I will definitely let you go back to school!â
Wang-Shi said solemnly again.
Qin Qingyuan stopped again and turned around. He suddenly realized that his mother seemed to be a little different from before.
He stared at Madam Wang carefully for a while, then nodded slightly and said, âAlright, Iâll wait and see when you can send me back to school.â
âMother, what about me? If Big Brother can go back to school, does that mean I donât have to work anymore?â
Qin Qingfei asked, unwilling to be outdone.
It would be great if they could return to their previous lives!
She had had enough of her current life. Not to mention washing the pots and bowls, she was not even willing to wash away her own night incense bucket. It was so smelly and dirty, who could stand it!
Madam Wang didnât answer. She pulled Qin Qingfei up first and then walked over to hold Qin Qingyuanâs hand. An unusual fanaticism flashed in her eyes as she said, âLetâs go, Mother will bring you to seek justice!â
âMother, what are you doing? Where can we go to seek justice?â
Qin Qingfei asked in confusion. Before she could think clearly, she was already dragged out of the door by Madam Wang.
Qin Qingyuan followed her without saying a word. He wanted to see if his mother was acting rashly. He wanted to see what she would do after she calmed down.
Wang-Shi didnât close the door. Anyway, there was nothing left in the house now, so she wasnât afraid of thieves at all.
She pulled her son and daughter and hurried to the village headâs house.
It was already noon, and it was time for everyone to prepare lunch. Madam Wang could smell the fragrance of food coming from the village chiefâs house even before she reached it.
Qin Qingfeiâs stomach was growling non-stop. She was about to complain to her mother that she was hungry when she saw her motherâs gaze.
She was stunned. Her eyes were filled with madness and anxiety, and there was also an impatient coldness. She seemed to have seen this kind of gaze in her brotherâs eyes before.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen we reach the village headâs house, take care of your stomach. Donât embarrass me.â
Madam Wangâs words made Qin Qingfei even more certain that she was not hallucinating. Her mother had really changed. She had become unfamiliar and seemed to have become more unyielding.
Some people noticed Madam Wang and her sonâs actions, especially after seeing Madam Wangâs unusual expression. They were keenly aware that there seemed to be a show to watch.
Some of them carried their rice bowls and followed them, while some of them didnât even bother to eat. They hurriedly grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuff and kicked them into their sleeves before rushing to the village chiefâs house.
By the time everyone arrived, Madam Wang was already standing at the village headâs door. However, she did not enter the house, nor did she cry or make a fuss. She just looked straight into the courtyard. Her gaze and state of mind made people shudder.
Previously, when Madam Wang went to beg Mo Ruyue, she would kneel outside the door and cry. But what was she trying to do this time?
âEveryone, why arenât you eating at home? What are you doing at my house?â
A young woman was startled by the noise outside. She walked out of the house and was immediately shocked by the group of people gathered outside.
Madam Wang was standing a little off to the side, and her figure was blocked by the door. From the womanâs position, she couldnât see them at all.
âMadam Liu, quickly call the village chief out. You canât handle this matter. â
Someone in the crowd shouted, and a few low laughs could be heard from the side, but they were quickly suppressed.
Madam Liu was the village headâs eldest daughter-in-law. When she heard this, she took two steps towards the door and saw Madam Wang and her two sons standing outside. She was also frightened by Madam Wangâs expression and seemed to understand why someone had asked her to directly invite the village head over.
She was a smart girl, so she decided not to get involved in this matter and went back to the house to find the village chief.
Soon, the village head also came out of the house, followed by his wife, Madam Mi. She said, âWhy canât you come at another time? Why did you have to come during mealtime? Do you want to get a free meal? â
Such a thing had happened once before. At that time, Madam Née Wang still had an injury on her head and there was nothing to eat at home. She had brought a big meal and came to the door in the evening during dinner time, asking for some steamed buns and rice porridge.
Now, she had actually come over in the middle of the day with two children. Did she intend to cling to her house?
When the village chief heard this, he turned around and glared at her. Mi Shi immediately shut her mouth.
It was only a few steps from the house to the yard door, and Madam Miâs voice wasnât soft. With so many people outside, wouldnât they be a joke?
âSecond Qinâs Wife, whatâs the matter? Why are you here with the kids at this time?â
The village head was startled by Madam Wangâs fixed gaze. He had never seen her look and expression like this before. Every time, she would cry and complain, which made people feel annoyed.
...
âVillage Chief, you are the village chief of the Qin village and also the patriarch of the Qin Clan. I can only ask you to uphold justice. If you donât care about us, then the three of us wonât be able to live.â
Wang Shiâs words were not out of the village chiefâs expectations. As expected, she was here to complain about being poor again.
âMadam Liu, go pack a bag of corn for Madam Wang. Also, bring a few steamed buns and biscuits over.â
He turned around and instructed his eldest daughter-in-law, but just as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Wang.
âVillage Chief, how long will your things last? Or should we come back later to talk? Iâm here to seek justice for me, not to beg for food!â
