She looked at Qin Guohua once more, her teeth clenched in pain. Yes, it was this face, this very face, this very person who had tortured her only daughter to death.
Suddenly, she could no longer contain her hatred. From the side, she grabbed a broom and started hitting Qin Guohua. "It’s all you, all your fault, you killed my daughter, and now you even torment my two grandsons. Get out, get out of my house right now. If you come back, I swear on my life I’ll make you pay for my daughter’s life," Granny Lu raved like a madwoman, as the broom kept hitting Qin Guohua’s body, scaring him terribly and indeed, striking him hard.
Her sweeping hits were truly painful because Granny Lu was not holding back at all, ferociously driving the Qin Family trio out of her home.
Several times, Qin Xiangyang wanted to go help, but Qin Xiangnuan held him back, recounting to Granny over the years how terribly her mother had suffered before her death, all due to Qin Guohua’s torment. While pregnant with her, she still had to labor in the fields, never regarding Du Ping as a human being - not as a cow, not as a donkey, assigning all the dirty and tiring tasks to Du Ping alone, without a shred of humanity, not even showing a kind face to the children borne by Du Ping.
Day by day, she engraved this truth into Granny Lu’s mind.
Qin Guohua was their father, but at the same time, he was also the one who killed Du Ping, and nearly them.
Therefore, Qin Guohua deserved to die. To tolerate him any longer would be to betray Du Ping and themselves.
Granny Lu achieved this because now she had money in her hands and could stand firm. What was the use of being strong now? Du Ping could not come back to life. If only she had had this much money earlier, perhaps her daughter wouldn’t have had to die, and her grandchildren wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.
Qin Xiangnuan feared that Granny Lu might soften her heart. If so, their family would never have peace. Those entangled with the Qin Family never ended up with anything good.
Indeed, whether Hu Li was frightened by Granny Lu, she dared not come and mooch anymore. Granny Lu had hit her and Qin Guohua many times with the broom. Now that Granny Lu viewed them as enemies, how could she dare to visit?
Hu Li’s original plan was to have Qin Xiangmei live here with Granny Lu’s care, close to school, and they could come over for meals, effectively saving provisions for the household. She heard that the old woman had made quite a bit of money this year; if they could get that money, they could build a new house. But she didn’t expect that in just a year without seeing her, the old woman, who she could have stripped even a yard full of chickens from, had become so fierce, nearly beating her and Qin Guohua to death.
Fortunately, Qin Xiangnuan persuaded Granny Lu to give up that thought; otherwise, their family would never have had peace.
"Nuannuan, your phone call," Granny Lu shouted into the house, holding the telephone. Qin Xiangnuan, who was busy in the system, hurried out, ready to answer the call.
The telephone was installed recently because Aunt Hua’s shop and the big building shops now had a telephone, so Qin Xiangnuan had persuaded Granny Lu to get one. The telephone fees were so expensive it pained the family for a long time, but having a telephone really made things a lot more convenient. If there was an issue, a call would connect them instantly.
"Hello, may I speak to Miss Qin?"
