Chapter 310 - 310 Threatening With Death

310 Threatening With Death

When she said this, the village chief came to a realization. It turned out that Madam Wang’s purpose was to get Qin family’s private money!

As the son of the Qin family, Qin Xu could also inherit the real estate and land deeds, so he could secretly sell the fields for money, but Madam Wang couldn’t.

She was only the Qin family’s daughter-in-law. Even if she dared to sell the land, no one would dare to buy it.

Although Qin Shi was still in prison, the real estate and land were all under her name. In the future, once she came out and found out that the land had been sold, she could easily get the land back whether she went to the village or reported it to the government.

!!

At that time, it would only be the person who bought the land who lost the money and had no land. It would not be so easy to ask for money from Madam Wang, so smart people would not buy land from Madam Wang at all.

The poultry and livestock of the Qin family had all been sold by Qin Xu. Madam Wang really couldn’t find anything else to sell. If they didn’t borrow from the owner, they wouldn’t be able to survive.

Therefore, it was understandable that she had no choice but to target the private money in the hands of the Qin family.

“Madam Wang, just tell me, how do you want me to help you? I’ve looked for Qin Xu many times, but he doesn’t show up at all. The people I’ve sent have also failed several times. It’s not that we don’t want to help you, you should understand.”

The village chief didn’t have the patience to beat around the bush. If she lost her balance on the stool and slipped, the rope would snap her neck in an instant. There was no chance of saving her.

Madam Wang also thought so. Since the village chief had asked directly, she said bluntly, “I want to invite the village chief to follow me into the city to visit my mother-in-law and ask her to take out the key to the money box. At least, she will leave us some money to live on, and we won’t have to bother the villagers.”

The villagers immediately broke out into an even louder discussion, and the way they looked at Madam Wang changed.

“What a nice way to put it. What money can keep the mother and children alive? I’m afraid she’ll just take the money and run away!”

“Don’t tell me, it’s really possible! Back then, the Qin family’s eldest son had left behind many good things, and they were all in the hands of Old Madam Qin! At that time, when we went to court to compensate Lady Qin, wasn’t it old Lady Qin who paid for it in the end?”

“That’s right. When she gets the house and land deeds, she’ll sell them directly to foreigners. Old Madam Qin is still in prison, and Qin Xu is missing. The way I see it, Madam Wang definitely doesn’t have any good intentions!”

The village head heard everyone’s words and had the same thought in his heart. However, he could not say it out loud and could only put it in a more tactful way.

“Qin Family’s Second Daughter-in-law, that key is the old lady’s life. She’s in prison and can’t come out, so she might not give you the key. If I were to take it, I am after all not a member of the Qin family and it is still uncertain whether she would believe me or not. I am afraid that I would not be able to bear such a great responsibility.”

He couldn’t wait for Old Madam Qin to not believe him. Otherwise, the key would be a hot potato in his hands. Who could guarantee that Od Madam Qin wouldn’t bite back and say that she had lost a lot of money, jewelry, and other precious items?

She was a person who would leech off others. She would ask for a few scallions and vegetables from anyone’s house when she passed by. How could she easily give up such an opportunity to extort money?

Madam Wang smiled sadly, and a string of tears fell from her eyes. She said sadly, “That’s why I knew that you would definitely reject me. In that case, I might as well just die. It’s better than watching the children starve to death.”

As she spoke, she stretched her neck into the rope, closed her eyes, and prepared to kick the stool.

“Mother! Mother! Don’t leave us behind, Mother!”

“Ah!” A shrill cry came from the distance. Everyone turned around and saw Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingfei stumbling over from the distance.

The two ran with disheveled hair and tear-streaked faces. They didn’t have the clean and decent appearance they usually had in front of others. They ran to the back of the crowd and tried to squeeze forward.

“Mother, if you’re leaving, take us with you. Don’t leave us siblings behind!”

Qin Qingyuan seemed to have gone crazy. He tried his best to squeeze his way forward. The villagers in front of him immediately reached out to stop him, but none of them could stop him. They had to work together before they could barely catch him.

However, he couldn’t care about the other side. Qin Qingfei was as slippery as a loach. She had already made her way to the front of the human wall and was running toward Madam Wang without a care.

The village chief was scared out of his wits. He immediately chased after Qin Qingfei and grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her back.

Later, a few more roe deers caught up and took Qin Qingfei from the village chief’s hands. Only then did they hold on to her tightly and not dare to let go.

The two children kept crying and struggling, screaming that they wanted to go with their mother. The harsh cries annoyed everyone, but they didn’t dare let go and could only continue to hold on tightly.

“Qingyuan, I’m sorry. I can’t ask the village chief to help us find a way out. I’ll leave first. You… You can follow the villagers. At least you can have a hundred families to feed you. You can slip away until your grandmother is out of prison. Everything will be fine in the future!”

Madam Wang continued to cry and complain. It sounded like she was telling the brother and sister to live on well, but her words were all forcing the village chief to agree to her conditions. Otherwise, her death would be caused by the village chief’s indifference and inaction.

Not only did the village chief understand what she said, but the entire village also understood.

Everyone looked at each other and finally turned their eyes to the village chief, waiting for him to make the final decision.

The village chief’s face was ashen, and he secretly gritted his teeth. Only now did he realize that he had really underestimated this woman in front of him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had specifically targeted his weak spot and had also carefully chosen the timing to do this. She had deliberately done this just before the new year.

His eyes flickered and he knew what was going on. However, he had no other choice in this situation.

Seeing that Madam Wang’s neck was already hanging on the rope and one of her feet was shakily stretched out, almost stepping lightly, the village chief didn’t dare to take the risk and quickly shouted, “I promise you, I’ll go with you!”

Madam Wang opened her eyes and carefully steadied herself on the bamboo stool. Then, she turned to look at the village chief and carefully asked, “Village Chief, are you serious? Don’t try to coax me down, you won’t be able to.”

The village head had already accepted his fate. He knew that he had coaxed her down, but if he went back on his words, this scene would repeat itself. He could only helplessly say, “It’s true, it’s true. I mean what I say. Everyone can be my witness.”

Madam Wang still refused to comply. She looked at the surrounding villagers and asked, “Can everyone be my witness?”

“I’ll do as you say.”

“Quickly come down! Look at how scared the children are!”

“Be careful and come down slowly!”

Everyone agreed to it, and Madam Wang took the opportunity to put forward a second condition: “Then it’s better to be quick. How about today? If we don’t hurry up and buy some new year goods, how will the three of us spend the new year?”
