Chapter 233: Chapter 214 Saving People
Rong Wenming was a decent person; he didn’t take part in discussions on such topics.
Furthermore, he held such behavior in contempt.
Of course, the object of his scorn was none other than Qin Shouwang. That man, not to ntion his age, had the audacity to carry on an affair with another woman despite having a family and even fathered a child with her. This was a moral issue.
Madam Rong thought of a problem and hesitated, “If the people of Qin Family Village find out, what will beco of Mrs. Li’s son?”
The child was only seven years old; to be affected by such rumors and gossip, wouldn’t that be too cruel?
Rong Yan could tell from her mother’s expression that she felt pity.
“That’s why we haven’t talked about it in the village. As for the rest… let’s trust the police. They will surely handle it properly.”
At this point, Qin Ye also spoke up, “Qin Shouwang’s main problem isn’t this, but the fact that he embezzled the village’s collective assets. That’s unacceptable.”
Madam Rong:…
That was indeed quite despicable.
In the past few years when food was scarce, and everyone could hardly fill their stomachs, this man had been lining his own pockets. He was fundantally corrupt, despite being the team leader.
And instead of bringing food ho, he used those resources for Mrs. Li… If Huang Cuihua found out, she would probably be utterly distressed.
“Alright, let’s not concern ourselves with this matter anymore. Whatever the outco, it’s their own doing. We need not discuss them any further.”
With these words from Rong Wenming, Madam Rong didn’t want to ask any more. These matters were indeed distasteful.
“You guys talk, I’ll go to the kitchen to knead dough, and I’ll make you stead buns tomorrow morning.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye hurriedly said, “Mom, I’ll help you.”
“No need; weren’t you learning to repair the tractor these past few days? Then focus on that. From now on, don’t fight with for kitchen work.”
Qin Ye:…
His mother-in-law was really kind.
Rong Yan didn’t stick around any longer either, “I still have so drawings I haven’t finished, I’m going back to my room too.”
Once the mother and daughter left, only Rong Wenming and Qin Ye, the father- and son-in-law, remained.
Rong Wenming asked if he had encountered any problems that day.
Qin Ye shook his head, “Nothing to fix today, I went around other villages with Master Hu.”
His work schedule was quite flexible; he didn’t have to stay at the agricultural machinery station all the ti.
“That’s good, I’ll explain the rest to you…” Rong Wenming went back inside to fetch a book.
***
Huang Cuihua had a fight with Old Lady Wang today. Although she dominated the old woman in the fight, she still ended up with several scratch marks on her face.
“Dad, look at the ingrates you’ve supported,” she pondered for a long ti after returning ho, utterly confused about why the police had taken them away.
This made her think of the incident when Qin Ye’s Wife had declined to learn how to operate a tractor.
Thus, she had reason to suspect that it was Qin Ye’s family ddling.
Initially, after figuring things out, she intended to confront Qin Ye’s family, but her father-in-law stopped her.
That old fool… He insisted on preventing her from going.
Wasn’t her husband his own flesh and blood?
She had never seen a father who sided with others over his own family.
She was resentful.
“Dad, if sothing serious happens to the head of the family, it doesn’t matter to him; he’s lived long enough. But how will his brothers manage? How will they be able to lift their heads up in the village?”
Qin Shouwang’s father looked at her solemnly and said, “Don’t talk about it anymore. You are not to go to Qin Ye’s, and if Shouwang did do sothing wrong, then he deserves whatever is coming to him.”
Huang Cuihua was furious.
“I don’t care; I’m going to settle scores with them…”
“You…” The old man was so angry he couldn’t take it and the next second, he was gasping for air, his face flushed, eyes bulging.
It was Qin Liangyu who noticed sothing was wrong and scread in shock, “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?”
His shout drew everyone’s attention to the old man.
Before they could react, Qin Shouwang’s father fell to the ground with a “thud,” unconscious.
This startled the whole family.
Particularly Huang Cuihua, who really had not expected her father-in-law to react like this, stood frozen in place.
Qin Liangyu and his brothers rushed forward, so shouting, “Grandpa, wake up!”
Others checked for his breath, “…no, no, this is bad, grandpa… he’s not breathing…”
The one checking was Qin Liangyu, and the shock made him fall to the ground.
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother Qin Liangcai imdiately reached out to check… turning pale instantly.
“No, he’s not breathing…”
Everyone else’s eyes widened in disbelief… How could this be possible?
All present were at a loss.
Fortunately, after the initial chaos, Qin Liangcai composed himself, because he suddenly rembered sothing, “I’ll go find Qin Ye’s Wife; she seems to know a bit of dicine.”
He had occasionally heard about it when working at Qin Ye’s house.
But at the ti, he didn’t pay much attention.
Now, desperate for options, he decided to call soone to have a look. After all, the only barefoot doctor in their village had gone to the city with his son a few days ago.
Huang Cuihua’s eyes lit up, then she urged quickly, “You go, fast.”
If she arrived, they could claim that the old man was treated to death by her.
All the trouble at their ho could be traced back to that jinx, Qin Ye.
Qin Liangcai didn’t trust others with the errand, so he ran outside quickly.
Fortunately, it wasn’t completely dark yet, and he could still see the road clearly.
However, there was so distance between his and Qin Ye’s houses, and by the ti he arrived at the entrance, he was gasping for air.
