Song Yueqin’s eyes flashed with calculation, and she said in a low voice, her eyelids drooping, "Is it really all my fault? You were so forceful, I couldn’t help but cry out in pain."
"You should have at least told me," Qin Fen said, his face flushed with urgency, now thoroughly embarrassed.
Seeing Qin Fen run into her home and do such a thing with her daughter, Zhang Juyun’s face turned green with anger, and her lips began to tremble, "Have you no shame? Doing such things at home in broad daylight. If word gets out, how will Yueqin ever face anyone?"
With that, Zhang Juyun took off a shoe and swung it hard at Qin Fen’s face, "So shameless! Acting like an animal."
Qin Fen tried to dodge but couldn’t, he was naked without a thread on him, how could he run? All he could do was clutch the quilt and desperately cover his head.
Song Yueqin saw that Qin Fen was being beaten and threw herself to embrace him, turning her head to shout at Zhang Juyun, "Stop hitting him! He said he would marry me, that’s why I gave myself to him. Mom, better you beat me to death than hit him!"
The commotion in the room woke up Song Jincai as well, who leaped out of bed to see the scene, and his blood boiled with fury.
Without a word, he strode forward and slapped Qin Fen’s face hard.
As a farmer, Song Jincai had a strong hand, and the slap caused Qin Fen to see stars, leaving a bright red handprint on his cheek.
"Uncle... Auntie... don’t be angry, please listen to me."
"There’s nothing to say!" Song Jincai trembled with rage, pulling Song Yueqin aside and delivering another slap.
"Ah!" It was the first time in her life that Song Yueqin had been hit by her father, and so severely that her mouth bled, the fresh blood trickling down.
"How did I raise such a shameless child?"
With tears in her eyes, Song Yueqin looked at Qin Fen, "Tell them you will marry me! Quick!"
The slap stunned Qin Fen, and he couldn’t come back to his senses for a while.
Seeing that he remained silent, Song Jincai climbed up the kang, pulled him down, and threw his clothes at him, "Put these on! Go, to go see your parents. I must demand an explanation from them."
............................
After lunch, Qin Ru Hai had taken his medicine and was resting when he heard someone calling him at the door, "Qin Ru Hai! Get up and see what good deed your son has done."
"Who is calling?" Qin Ru Hai listened and said, "It sounds like Song Jincai!"
Hearing the content of the shouting, Liu Junping broke out in a cold sweat, "Has this little bastard caused some trouble?"
Quickly, she got up and walked into the courtyard.
As soon as she stepped out of the north room’s door, she saw Song Jincai and Zhang Juyun in tow, pushing Qin Fen over, looking very much like a prisoner being taken to the battlefield.
His face looked like he had been hit, with a bright red handprint on his cheek, and seeing the swollen area, Li Junping felt the pain herself.
"Oh my heavens! My little ancestor, what have you done to be brought back ?" Li Junping gasped in shock, reaching up to turn Qin Fen’s face one way and then the other, inspecting it closely.
"I gave him a beating!" Song Jincai said angrily, pointing at Song Yueqin standing behind him, "Your son rushed into my house during the day and did... that... with my daughter. And when her mother caught them, they were right in the middle of the act!!"
As Song Jincai spoke, he felt ashamed and bowed his head with a heavy sigh.
As soon as he spoke, Li Junping understood the whole situation.
Qin Fen had slept with Song Yueqin and got caught red-handed, and now Song Yueqin’s father had come to demand an explanation.
