Chapter 11: Qin Sui Returns

As Lin Su was dragged along, she attracted a lot of onlookers.

Some people couldn’t bear it and came to ask. Qin’s mother pretended to be pitiful and told the story of her granddaughter being abused, then smugly watched as these people changed their attitudes and began to point fingers at Lin Su.

“She didn’t abuse my sister!”

At this time, Qin Yao, carrying Qin Ni, chased after them and shouted loudly.

People were immediately attracted by the sound and looked towards Qin Yao.

Qin’s mother was afraid that Qin Yao would ruin things and gave Chen Zhaodi a look. Chen Zhaodi immediately came to Qin Yao’s side and viciously warned, “You little brat had better shut your mouth, or we’ll sell your sister!”

Qin Yao’s hard-won courage instantly dissipated. He could only watch helplessly as these bad people dragged his stepmother away.

No, he had to do something!

The stepmother had been very good to them recently. Even if it was an act, Qin Yao would appreciate her kindness. Now that she was in trouble, he had to help her.

But he was small, and he couldn’t save her by himself.

Right, Third Grandpa!

His stepmother was from Linjia Village, and Third Grandpa, as the village head, was the highest-ranking official he could think of.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao carried Qin Ni and ran quickly towards Linjia Village.

Qinjia Village.

Qin’s mother’s group made a big scene, attracting the villagers of Qinjia Village to watch. Word spread quickly, and by the time they arrived at the Qin family’s ancestral hall, a large group of villagers had gathered outside to watch the fun.

Qin’s mother remembered being refuted by Lin Su before and always losing to her. Now, Lin Su was kneeling at the entrance of the Qin family’s ancestral hall in a sorry state, being watched by so many villagers. She had lost face, and felt refreshed.

The anger she had been suppressing for days was finally released. Qin’s mother was radiant and pointed at Lin Su, who was forced to kneel on the ground.

“Everyone, this is my youngest son’s newly married wife. Before, she wanted to take my grandsons and granddaughters back to her mother’s house, and I trusted her and let her take them.”

“And what happened? This heartless woman secretly abused my granddaughter, causing her to be hospitalized.”

“My son is not at home. As a grandmother, I have to protect my granddaughter. Today, I ask you all to witness this and let this wicked woman kneel for a day as punishment.”

Several aunts who had defended Lin Su at the entrance of the Qin family’s house looked at each other, feeling that the truth might not be as Qin’s mother said.

Seeing Lin Su’s pale face and weak body, they felt sorry for her and wanted to defend her. But there were too many people, and the Qin family head was also there, so they dared not offend him and chose to stand by and watch.

The murmurs grew louder, and various harsh words were like arrows shooting at Lin Su, but she didn’t have the strength to argue.

Being dragged all the way from town, she had already exhausted all her energy. Now, even if she wasn’t forced to kneel here, she wouldn’t have any thoughts of resistance.

Her head was unusually heavy, and her breath seemed to be hot. Lin Su couldn’t care about anything anymore and could only lie on the muddy ground, letting the cold shadow engulf her.

Her body seemed even colder. Lin Su felt that she might die here today.

“Pretending to be dead? Weren’t you very arrogant when you abused my granddaughter?” Qin’s mother disgustedly kicked Lin Su. Seeing that she didn’t react, she was startled for a moment.

Was she dead?

She quickly knelt down to check her breath. Finding that she was still alive, she became angry.

“Just pretending to be dead!”

Qin’s mother pulled her clothes and forcibly pulled her up, wanting to force her to kneel straight, but the latter obviously didn’t have the strength to kneel.

Seeing Lin Su fall down again, Qin’s mother, unwilling to give up, was about to continue tearing at her when a low, deep voice suddenly rang out.

“Stop!”

Qin’s mother looked up in surprise and was surprised to see Qin Sui.

After thinking for a moment, she pretended to be surprised and said, “Why did you come back so quickly? You didn’t even tell your father, so he could go to the train station to pick you up.”

Qin Sui ignored Qin’s mother and walked to Lin Su’s side in a few steps. He reached out to touch her forehead and found it was burning hot. He quickly picked her up horizontally.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin’s mother quickly stopped him, “Qin Sui, why are you protecting her? Don’t forget that Qin Ni is still in the hospital!”

“Let’s deal with things one by one,” Qin Sui avoided her outstretched hand, “Whether she abused Ni Ni or not, Mother’s behavior of harming people is punishable by reform through labor.”

“What do you mean? You don’t blame your wife, but you scare your mother first!” Qin’s mother was so angry that her features were contorted.

Qin Sui knew her temperament, so he didn’t pay attention to her because he was anxious to save people.

However, it was this attitude that angered Qin’s mother, and she began to cry and make a fuss.

The clan head couldn’t stand it anymore and went to stop Qin Sui, “Qin Sui, she’s your mother after all. What you’re doing is unfilial…”

“Things haven’t been investigated yet, and the clan head already believes my mother’s words. If Lin Su really abused my daughter, the Women’s Federation will naturally take care of it. If Lin Su didn’t abuse my daughter, the clan head doing this is an accomplice in killing people. What, do you also want to be criticized and sent to reform through labor?”

As soon as Qin Sui’s calm words came out, the clan head was like a chicken with its neck choked, instantly silent.

He dared not stop Qin Sui anymore, and others dared not either.

Seeing that even the clan head couldn’t do anything to Qin Sui, Qin’s mother stopped making a fuss. She only wanted to use evidence to prove that she was right, but when she chased out, she found that Qin Sui had already carried Lin Su onto the car and quickly drove away from Qinjia Village.

“This doesn’t look right,” Chen Zhaodi came to Qin’s mother’s side, “Didn’t you say that they didn’t have much of a relationship? This doesn’t look like it either!”

Qin’s mother gritted her teeth and cursed, “Lin Su, that vixen, is good at doing things to seduce people. Qin Sui must have been captivated by her long ago!”

Chen Zhaodi was speechless and said after a long time, “Then it will be difficult to deal with Lin Su again. Qin Sui will definitely protect her.”

“I don’t believe it. Qin Sui will still protect her even if he sees that Qin Ni is dying!”

Chen Zhaodi’s eyelids had been twitching all day, feeling that something bad was going to happen. Hearing this, she quickly said, “Don’t do anything reckless, or Qin Sui will definitely be estranged from you.”

“Whether I’m reckless or not, he’s going to be estranged from me. Didn’t you see that he only had eyes for his wife when he came back?” Speaking of this, Qin’s mother was sad and angry.

She was even more resentful in her heart, wishing that Qin Sui and Lin Su couldn’t get married.

Hospital.

After Qin Sui hurriedly sent Lin Su to the hospital, Lin Su was directly sent to the emergency room.

Her body was already weak. She had finally used the spiritual spring water to improve her health, but now she was back to square one after being tormented, even worse than before.

Ni Niu, who drove Qin Sui, was a little confused.

Deputy Commander Qin’s wife abused his daughter. Didn’t he hate his wife? Why was he still protecting her?

Before he could figure it out, Deputy Commander Qin asked him to find Qin Ni.

They went to the town hospital first and found no one. After hearing that Lin Su had been taken to Qinjia Village, they rushed over.

As a result, only Lin Su was in Qinjia Village. Qin Yao, Qin Ni, and Qin Keke were not there.

Ni Niu inquired and learned that the three children had gone with Lin Su to her mother’s home, so they should have gone back there.

Ni Niu had seen a photo of Deputy Commander Qin and the three children. Hearing this, he quickly went to Lin Su’s mother’s home to look for them.

Qin Sui went to Qin Ni’s ward to investigate.

He asked the doctor, the nurses, and the patients in the same ward. The result was that Lin Su hadn’t abused Qin Ni at all. On the contrary, she took very good care of Qin Ni, better than a biological mother.

Qin Ni was hospitalized because she ate too much, and the doctor also said that she had been malnourished before and had only recently recovered. Otherwise, after throwing up, it wouldn’t have been just vomiting.

Obviously, while Qin Sui was away, Lin Su had taken good care of Qin Ni. Not only her, but Qin Yao and Qin Keke should have been well taken care of as well.

He had been narrow-minded and had suspected Lin Su’s character when he heard that Qin Ni had been abused.

He was also glad that he rushed over when he heard that Lin Su had been taken away, otherwise, Lin Su’s body wouldn’t have been able to withstand his mother’s torment.

Qin Sui felt guilty towards Lin Su.

Looking at the clock on the wall, more than an hour had passed, and the emergency room door hadn’t opened yet, and his guilt deepened.

When Lin Su came out, he would compensate her well.

Qinjia Village.

Ni Niu went to Linjia Village and found no one again. He learned from the villagers that they had all gone to Qinjia Village, so he drove to Qinjia Village again.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw the two villages confronting each other.

Lin Daqiang, as the village head of Linjia Village, spoke first, “Our girl from Linjia Village married into your Qinjia Village. Can you just torment her as you please? You don’t care about evidence and just punish her by making her kneel. Today, if you don’t give us an explanation, we won’t leave!”

“Right, we won’t leave!”

“That’s right, with your Qinjia Village’s cruel methods, who would dare to marry their daughters into your village in the future?”

“Right, right, right, good girls should not marry into Qinjia Village, or they won’t know how they’ll die!”

This was serious. The villagers of Qinjia Village, who had been unconcerned, heard that their reputation was being ruined. They also had sons waiting to marry wives, so they quickly pressured the Qin family head.

“Clan head, this was caused by you, it has nothing to do with us. We still have sons waiting to marry wives. If they can’t marry wives, you’ll compensate us.”

“We also contribute to the annual repair of the ancestral hall. You can’t harm us just because you’re helping Qin Sui’s mother.”

“That’s right.”

Seeing that he had angered the crowd, the Qin family head felt that the malt extract and ginseng that Qin Sui’s mother had taken were hot potatoes.

He had already offended Qin Sui, and now he was offending the Qin family members. He wouldn’t be able to stay in the village anymore.

Plus, facing the pressure from the villagers of Linjia Village, thinking that he couldn’t lose the bigger picture because of a small matter, the Qin family head simply pushed Qin Sui’s mother out to take the blame.

“This was all caused by her. If you want justice, go find her.”

Seeing that the clan head didn’t care about her anymore, Qin’s mother was immediately dumbfounded.

Lin Daqiang stepped forward and pressed Qin’s mother, “You said Lin Su abused your granddaughter. How did she abuse her?”

The situation was already out of control. Qin’s mother’s heart began to panic, but she was still holding on. “She… she beat and scolded my granddaughter, causing her to be hospitalized. Isn’t that abuse?”

“She beat and scolded her? Did anyone see it with their own eyes? Also, you said she abused her, but she dared to take her to the hospital openly?”

Qin’s mother was speechless and couldn’t find words to retort.

Seeing Qin’s mother’s appearance, others also reacted and began to whisper.

“It must be that Lin Su beat Qin Ni badly, afraid that Qin Ni would die and she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Qin Sui, so she took her to the hospital.” Seeing that Qin’s mother was about to become a sinner, Chen Zhaodi quickly spoke up to help her.

Qin’s mother reacted and nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, yes.”

“Okay, since you insist on saying this, let the person herself speak.” Lin Daqiang said.

Qin’s mother felt relieved when she heard this.

With Qin Ni’s personality, she wouldn’t dare to speak.

Qin Ni was pushed out under the watchful eyes of everyone. Facing her grandmother’s usual harsh expression, she subconsciously trembled and shrank back without making a sound.

Seeing this, Qin’s mother became even more proud, “You ask her to speak, she dares to speak.”

After thinking for a moment, Qin’s mother said coaxingly, “Ni Ni, be good, tell Grandma, did your stepmother beat and scold you? As long as you say this, I’ll give you malt extract to drink.”

She knew that Qin Ni was like a starving ghost, loving to eat. Once she said this, she would definitely follow her words.

Qin Ni did speak, but what she said was completely opposite to what Qin’s mother said.
