Chapter 781: Chapter 775: Where did Qin Lei Go
As for why Nangong Shulan is thinking of helping the Qins, there are a few reasons. Firstly, they have helped her and her two children over the years. Secondly, they have never done anything to wrong her. The most important reason, however, is that they are her husband’s elder brother and his wife. If the two brothers united, no one would dare to bully the Qins. Now that her family is doing well, she wants to give them a hand. This was also her elder daughter’s idea.
Her elder daughter had written recipes for her and suggested they could be used for her eldest uncle’s family. Her daughter said they should first get themselves settled before sharing the recipes with the Qins. This way they could check whether her uncle’s family would become jealous because her family is making money, or if they’d have some reliable people to help them once they got settled. This would be much better.
So, after hearing her daughter’s thoughts, Nangong Shulan found them reasonable and had never brought up this topic. She hadn’t even mentioned it to her husband, fearing he might harbor resentment.
She knew it wouldn’t be good for their family, so she kept it to herself. She also understood her elder daughter’s approach, hence she cooperated with her. Now that the timing was right, she thought it was time to help.
Mrs. Qin was surprised when she heard this. She never expected that her daughter-in-law would suggest such a thing. As soon as things were getting a little better for her, she was already planning to bring her eldest son’s family along. Mrs. Qin was deeply moved, wondering if a gesture she had made in the past could still invoke such gratitude.
“Alright. I will tell them when I go back. I will ask Cui Ping to come early and help with the cooking,” said Mrs. Qin. There was no reason for her to disagree. She obviously hoped for both her sons to succeed. Once their days get better, she would have nothing to worry about and could enjoy her twilight years in peace.
“Great, thank you, mom. Let’s unload those things now,” Nangong Shulan spoke, suddenly remembering her husband’s whereabouts which she had been too distracted by the woman to notice earlier. Now she wanted to go with her husband and start unloading things as she needed to rest and recharge. Otherwise, she’d be too tired to cope.
“Alright, but where did Thunder go?” Mrs. Qin hadn’t seen her youngest son since a while ago and had no idea where he might have gone.
“I’m not sure either. Let’s do our own thing first. I’m going to rest for a while and cook later,” Nangong Shulan said, deciding not to continue worrying about where her husband had gone.
“Alright, I’ll come help you with your sister-in-law later,” Upon hearing her daughter-in-law’s words and noticing her tired face, Mrs. Qin also felt a twinge of pity. After all, she was working really hard for their household.
As for where Qin Lei went, he went to the entrance of the village. He had heard what his wife and the woman said when he came back and was upset.
So he decided to teach the woman a lesson. However, being a man, it was not appropriate for him to act directly upon a woman. So, he hired a local ruffian to intimidate the woman when she passed by, making her realize that it was preposterous for a frog to crave swan flesh. Not only did she want his daughter, but she even dared to belittle her – was there such a good deal in the world? He would not be able to swallow this humiliation unless he taught her a lesson.
One must say, when Qin Lei decided to be ruthless, he was not to be underestimated. The ruffian he hired was a little taken aback by his ruthlessness. He had no idea that the young man from the Qin family could be so fierce, which intimidated the ruffian. After this incident, the ruffian no longer dared to underestimate the Qins, nor did he dare to provoke anyone in their family.
“Hey, wait a minute,” The ruffian, seeing the woman that Qin Lei had described, dashed out from behind a tree.
“Who are you?” Li Zhaodi was startled by the sudden appearance of the man.
