Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1375: Chapter 1375: Inescapable Doom

”Ouch! I really thought that my daughter had grown up and started to consider her mother’s perspective. Now it seems I was completely indulging in wishful thinking,” Juyun said with pursed lips, looking at Yueqin with a frustrated expression as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

”What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Yueqin said, bowing her head to pick up some firewood and heading towards the courtyard.

”Stop right there,” Juyun quickly called after her daughter. ”Don’t play dumb with me here. Tell me, what is the real reason you went back to the Qin family’s house?”

”I’m the Qin family’s daughter-in-law; it’s only natural that I should go back to the Qin family,” Yueqin replied.

Seeing that her daughter was lying even to her, Juyun got angry and poked Yueqin’s forehead, ”Stop talking nonsense. The Qin family has come into money, haven’t they? It sounds like a substantial amount, too.”

”Who told you that?”

”Now the whole neighborhood is talking about it. I had to hear about it from someone else’s mouth. My own daughter kept it tightly under wraps. Are you afraid I’m going to ask you for money?”

Since her mother already knew, Yueqin decided not to hide it anymore: ”I didn’t tell you because of your big mouth! I was afraid you would not be able to resist blabbering about it everywhere. That’s why I deliberately kept it from you.”

”Fine. I won’t pursue this matter with you. Just tell me, how much money has the Qin family come into?” Juyun was only interested in this.

Yueqin, of course, could not say.

What if her mother knew that the Qin family had received a huge sum of money and she started blabbering about it all over the place?

Then the Qin family would definitely know that she came to them for money.

Before, Qin Fen was useless, and that was fine, but last night, he suddenly became capable again. What if his illness got better in the future? Then she might face the danger of divorce.

She couldn’t tell her! Absolutely not!

”Mom, I don’t know either. You better go. Qin Fen doesn’t like you at all. If he finds out I’ve been with you, he’ll lose his temper with me again,” Yueqin knew her situation was not good at all.

On the surface, she was the Qin family’s daughter-in-law, but now she was practically no different from the Qin family’s servants.

Juyun wanted to say a few more words to Yueqin but didn’t expect that, as soon as Yueqin entered the house with the firewood, she swiftly bolted the door.

Juyun was really angered by this, cursing Yueqin in her heart and stomping away.

In just a couple of days, Yueqin was no longer suffering from diarrhea, and she thought this ordeal was over.

But she didn’t expect that her mother-in-law, Junping, would cling to this issue persistently.

This Junping was an old fox.

Seeing Yueqin only vomiting and not having diarrhea anymore, she felt continuously unsettled.

She feared that Yueqin had come back carrying an illegitimate child, and they were none the wiser.

This matter had to be clarified, so during dinner, Junping said to Yueqin, ”You’ll accompany me to the health clinic in town tomorrow morning.”

”What for?”

”To get you treated.”

”I’m not sick.”

”Look at you, all this vomiting, what is it if not an illness? The doctors in our village are not up to the task; we should see a town doctor.”

”Mom, I just need to rest, and I’ll be fine...”

”Don’t talk nonsense! If I say you go, you go,” Qin Fen cut off Yueqin’s words.

”Oh,” Yueqin nodded reluctantly.

But she was inwardly terrified about what the next day would bring. Could she really not escape this predicament?

If she went for a check-up in town, they would find out she was pregnant for sure.

Junping seemed determined not to rest until she dug something up!
