Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Gender of Sin 90

Qin Shuangshuang was momentarily dumbfounded, then charged out of the door like a madwoman, her mind full of all sorts of terrible thoughts!

But as soon as Qin Shuangshuang rushed outside, she saw her mother being carried back in the arms of Fang Zhongyi. Qin Shuangshuang’s heart sank at first, but she quickly realized that although her mother’s complexion wasn’t good, she didn’t seem to have any injuries.

Still not feeling reassured, Qin Shuangshuang stepped forward, took her mother from Fang Zhongyi’s arms, and carefully examined her from head to toe. Only after confirming that there were no injuries did she feel at ease!

Qin Shuangshuang frowned at Da Hu, thinking this kid was bold enough to mess with her!

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang’s expression, Da Hu’s face turned red with urgency, ”I’m not lying to you; just now, a madwoman with a knife was trying to kill your mother! She even said she wanted to take revenge for her whole family, I saw it with my own eyes! I came to tell you immediately because I was afraid something would happen, believe me!”

Madwoman? Revenge? Qin Shuangshuang frowned. With her mother’s personality, she only made friends and never offended anyone; how could she have such a great enemy?

It was still Fang Zhongyi who clarified the confusion for Qin Shuangshuang, ”Da Hu wasn’t lying; that madwoman is Qin the Third’s wife, Mrs. Fang!”

Upon suddenly hearing Mrs. Fang’s name, Qin Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment before remembering who Mrs. Fang was. She also recalled what the four long-term workers looking for work had said before—when the Qin Family was annihilated, Mrs. Fang had escaped.

Qin Shuangshuang wasn’t concerned about how Mrs. Fang was; Mrs. Fang escaped with her life, and Qin Shuangshuang hadn’t thought much about it. But she hadn’t expected Mrs. Fang to come to the border city! And she bore such hatred towards their family that she dared to try and slash her mother with a knife!

Mrs. Bai is Qin Shuangshuang’s weak spot! Mrs. Fang dared to come to slash her mother; Qin Shuangshuang’s first instinct was to go finish off Mrs. Fang! But Fang Zhongyi stopped the furious Qin Shuangshuang from storming out, ”You don’t need to go, that madwoman Mrs. Fang is already dead!”

The anger on Qin Shuangshuang’s face froze. She was at a loss for how to respond; in such a short span of time, her emotions had swung drastically up and down, leaving her so overwhelmed she could hardly react! It was still Mrs. Bai who recounted the sequence of events to Qin Shuangshuang.

Just earlier, Mrs. Bai went outside to find people, mainly to look for Aunt Hao, Uncle He’s wife, and Mrs. Wang’s daughters-in-law. These families were close by, and since the people she was looking for were all women, it wasn’t convenient for men to come along. So Mrs. Bai hadn’t let Fang Zhongyi, who was always sticking to her, follow.

Who knew that after only a few steps out the door, a madwoman, hair disheveled and wielding a vegetable knife, suddenly rushed at her, trying to chop her! Mrs. Bai was too shocked at the time and almost got hit because she didn’t respond in time.

Although there were quite a few people around, everyone turned pale when they saw this scene and quickly ran towards Mrs. Bai. But they were all at quite a distance, and it seemed they wouldn’t make it in time to save her!

In the nick of time, it was Fang Zhongyi, afraid Mrs. Bai would freeze, who had rushed out with a cloak. In his urgency, he picked up a stone and threw it at the madwoman, hitting her head directly! The madwoman was knocked down on the spot.

When Fang Zhongyi checked if Mrs. Bai was hurt, the crowd gathered around, suddenly exclaiming in realization. It turned out the madwoman was Qin the Third’s wife, Mrs. Fang!

Previously, when the Qin Family was annihilated by man-eating refugees, Mrs. Fang was the only survivor who escaped. It’s unknown how Mrs. Fang ended up in the border city and came to harbor such hatred towards Mrs. Bai! She wanted to kill Mrs. Bai!

Mrs. Fang was disheveled and emaciated; if they hadn’t all lived in the same village for so long and were quite familiar, they wouldn’t have dared to recognize her! At that moment, Mrs. Fang was knocked unconscious by a stone thrown by Fang Zhongyi, lying on the ground senselessly.

Now, Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai hold exceptional status in the village. Mrs. Fang dared to slash Mrs. Bai, which angered everyone. Whether Mrs. Fang was unconscious or not, they couldn’t help but surround her and give her a good kicking!

Since Mrs. Fang was physically weak and had already been injured and made unconscious by the blow from Fang Zhongyi’s stone, when everyone kicked her like that, she woke up from her unconsciousness, howled a few times, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and then went silent!

Upon checking, the crowd found that Mrs. Fang had been kicked to death. Everyone was momentarily dumbfounded; they felt they hadn’t used much force, yet she ended up dead. Initially, they planned to vent their anger and send her to the government to make her do hard labor!

However, they weren’t particularly afraid; Mrs. Fang was already a criminal in the Qin Family Village, and now she had tried to kill first; even if the government knew, they wouldn’t be afraid. But better fewer troubles than more, so after some discussion, they decided to drag her away and bury her somewhere to settle the matter.

Even though they didn’t know why Mrs. Fang harbored such hatred towards Mrs. Bai, the person was already dead, so there was no pursuing it, and this matter could only be let slide. Fortunately, the Qin Family was completely exterminated, so there wouldn’t be another Mrs. Fang.

After the false alarm, Mrs. Bai continued with her plan to find people to follow Qin Miao to learn how to make sweaters and weave blankets, while Qin Shuangshuang took wool-made products to find General Qi!

After handing the items to General Qi and mentioning her plans, Qin Shuangshuang left everything in General Qi’s hands. There was no other way; if this endeavor succeeded, it would concern national policy, something a mere common person like her couldn’t get involved in.

Nonetheless, Qin Shuangshuang gained a great deal, as General Qi had promised that if this endeavor succeeded, Qin Shuangshuang would have the right to preferentially purchase and select the wool to be acquired!

In the days that followed, Qin Shuangshuang, Fang Yao, and Qin Miao were all extremely busy. Fang Yao worked on learning to manage tenant farmers and workers, while Qin Miao and Qin Shuangshuang busied themselves educating the women saved by Qin Shuangshuang, along with those Mrs. Bai found interested in earning some wages, on how to make woolen products!

General Qi took this matter very seriously and didn’t entirely rely on Huyan Babur. He only let Huyan Babur handle the Hu people. As for other nomadic tribes on the prairie, apart from the Hu people—the two largest nomadic tribes, the Zhenla Clan and the Zhenling Clan—other merchants were cultivated to acquire wool in addition.

Although communication wasn’t easy due to the intervening Hu people tribes, relying solely on one Huyan Babur was too thin. These people served as backups and insurance in case Huyan Babur ever betrayed them.

However, General Qi’s backup plan wasn’t needed. Huyan Babur proved to be a cowardly yet extremely greedy man. The opportunity to become a Great Hu Merchant was satisfying enough for him, and he didn’t care if it brought danger and hardship to his own people, willingly selling out information with great enthusiasm!

The construction of the Mutual Market and border city expended five years, involving a huge amount of manpower and resources. Today, both the Mutual Market outside Feiying Pass and the border city inside Feiying Pass are bustling with activity, with an unending stream of people coming and going.

Most of them are merchants from Da Ran and border people, along with a few small tribe Hu people and mainly large prairie tribes that trade with Da Ran.
