Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Crime of Gender 18

Every time Qin Laoer was pressed by Qin Shuangshuang, there would be a bruise, and it would hurt for a while. Over time, Qin Laoer no longer dared to bully this difficult daughter and, by extension, Mrs. Bai, who was protected by Qin Shuangshuang.

So, at this moment, the attempts of Qin the Third and Little Chen to provoke Qin Laoer were in vain. Qin Laoer dared not provoke Qin Shuangshuang anymore. After hearing their instigation, he simply remained silent without any response.

This disappointed not only Qin the Third and Little Chen but also Mr. Qin, who couldn’t help but look at his honest son with disappointment, furrowing his brows!

Mr. Qin felt that although his son was usually as silent and dull as a wooden figure, at least he was filial. Now, he didn’t even have this advantage, which was utterly useless!

Among them, only Mr. Qin and Mrs. Fang remained silent. Mr. Qin was a chauvinist, unwilling to deal with trivial matters among women, while Mrs. Fang remembered past incidents and decided not to easily offend Qin Shuangshuang again!

With various thoughts, they headed home. Mr. Qin walked with a headache. In fact, he had some idea why the family was so lively today. Qin Shuangshuang’s grand gesture of giving away meat in the morning had already stirred the whole village. Mr. Qin had heard the news while working in the fields.

Mr. Qin was naturally dissatisfied with Qin Shuangshuang’s act of giving away meat. Never mind how much it could sell for, it would be good even for their own family to eat. In these times, you might get the taste of meat only a few times a year. Who would complain about having too much meat?

However, Mr. Qin was knowledgeable and understood that Qin Shuangshuang’s gifting had already gained goodwill. If he expressed any opposition, it would only make those who benefited from Qin Shuangshuang’s favor more resentful toward their family. Therefore, he had to swallow his dissatisfaction and remain silent, also suppressing Qin the Third’s and Little Chen’s constant complaints after hearing the news!

Moreover, after hearing the news, Qin the Third couldn’t stop thinking about the meat at home, hoping to have a meal with meat for lunch. He was so greedy that he kept circling around Mr. Qin, who was still more doting on this youngest son, deciding to finish work early and come home for lunch.

However, just as he reached the doorstep, he saw the lively scene as if the entire village had gathered. Mr. Qin, worried about Old Chen, couldn’t help but quicken his pace. Qin the Third and Little Chen, unable to provoke Qin Laoer, followed Mr. Qin, hastening their pace toward home!

When Mr. Qin and his group arrived, they saw Mrs. Bai carrying Qin Shuangshuang, covered in blood, being supported by Aunt Hao as they headed to Aunt Hao’s house!

Upon seeing Qin Shuangshuang in such a miserable state, Mr. Qin’s heart skipped a beat. Glancing behind the crowd, he could vaguely see Old Chen, sitting on the ground pretending to be dead. Mr. Qin had a bad feeling!

Originally, Mr. Qin thought that even if something happened, at most, it would be Old Chen being outsmarted by his troublesome granddaughter, Qin Shuangshuang, and getting embarrassed in front of the villagers. Mr. Qin was already mentally prepared for that.

But now, the situation was far beyond what he had imagined! It seemed much worse than he anticipated! Especially seeing the village chief, who always favored Qin Shuangshuang, looking gloomy while surrounded by the crowd and staring at him suddenly!

Mr. Qin’s head buzzed! Feeling dizzy, he wished he could just pass out! In this situation, he didn’t need to think to know who was responsible for Qin Shuangshuang’s condition! He couldn’t believe that his aggressive old wife would dare to cause such a big trouble!

Not only Mr. Qin but even the steady Mr. Qin, the trouble-loving Qin the Third, Little Chen, and Mrs. Fang were all shocked by this turn of events. Qin Laoer was also stunned for a moment, but he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but upon seeing Mr. Qin’s exasperated face, he fell silent again.

Then, he just glanced at Qin Shuangshuang, who was covered in blood in Mrs. Bai’s arms, and continued to stand behind Mr. Qin with his head down, still looking as dull and honest, without any expression of grief or sorrow.

It was as if that person, who seemed about to die, wasn’t his daughter, and the woman holding the daughter in grief wasn’t his wife, such coldheartedness! It was chilling to see.

Qin Laoer’s behavior didn’t just shatter the faint hope in Mrs. Bai’s eyes when she saw his arrival in the crowd, which quickly turned to despair. Even the surrounding people couldn’t help but frown. Those who used to think Qin Laoer was honest changed their minds. This wasn’t honesty; it was being a worthless coward without a heart!

The village chief had attended private school for two years and even passed the child student exam. Always priding himself as a cultured person, although he didn’t look down on those who didn’t study, he still had some scholarly aloofness in his bones. He held their family’s character in contempt, now scoffing coldly, indicating his disdain to speak with them.

Finally, Aunt Hao couldn’t stand it and spoke first, ”Old man, you came back at just the right time. What did your granddaughter do to make your old lady dislike her so much that she took a knife to kill her? Look at this tragedy!

Everyone outside knows what kind of person the second daughter is usually like—obedient, sensible, and capable. At such a young age, she can handle adult tasks.

Such a good girl being born into your family is better than having a boy. What on earth do you have to be unsatisfied with? Why do you see her with a jaundiced eye? If your old lady really kills her, I wonder how you’d live with your conscience!”

Before Mr. Qin could respond, Mrs. Wang supported Mrs. Bai from the other side, scoffing, ”Why waste words with him? This family has no conscience. The priority is to quickly settle the second daughter!”

After speaking, Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but glare fiercely at the nodding Qin Laoer, snorting twice in annoyance, and left with Aunt Hao supporting Mrs. Bai!

With a headache, Mr. Qin quickly stopped Aunt Hao, who was leading Mrs. Bai toward their house, reluctantly smiling, ”The second daughter is my granddaughter. Regardless of who’s right or wrong, we can’t ignore her. How can we let her stay at your house?”

Aunt Hao was amused by Mr. Qin’s words, placing her hands on her hips and sneering, ”Old man, have you gone senile? Who’s right or wrong? When did the second daughter do anything wrong? Where is she wrong? Speak up, so we can all hear something new!

I never noticed before, but you and your old lady really belong in the same family! You think you can just accuse the second daughter of something with a flat mouth!

The wild game and fruits she used to bring back from the mountain were either sold by you or ended up in your elders’ mouths. With so much, even if she fed a dog, now you should stand by the second daughter a bit!”

Mr. Qin’s face turned bright red with anger at Aunt Hao’s blunt words! Before he could catch his breath and think of a retort, he heard a man loudly shouting, ”Everyone standing in front, make way quickly!”
