The Qin family returned home with great fanfare, only to be completely disoriented upon entering.
They had just managed to retrieve their belongings from the Cheng family— it was like a dream.
“Hey, aren’t these our household items?”
Qin Shuanglu, who was sitting by the door eating melon seeds, brightened up upon seeing them. She quickly clapped her hands and came over to count them one by one, her eyes wide as bronze.
“Not a single one is missing! The Cheng family has had a change of heart and is actually returning them to us?”
“Third sister, you’re overthinking it. Zheng’er helped us retrieve these.”
Qin Gang smiled honestly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. How could he not be excited? The Cheng family had suppressed the Qin family for years; today, they had finally stood up for themselves, and the Qin family could finally hold their heads high.
“Big brother, I’m telling you, stop joking. With Qin Yunzheng’s attitude of wanting to send even a chicken dropping from our family to the Cheng family, do you really think she could take it back from us?”
Qin Shuanglu scoffed, not believing a single word Qin Gang said. Everyone in the Qin family except her was mentally unstable. They would think it was right for Qin Yunzheng to eat a pile of shit, and they would attribute any credit to that idiot.
Upon hearing this, the three Qin brothers immediately spoke up for Yun Zheng, “It’s true! If it weren’t for Fifth Sister, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything to those scoundrels from the Cheng family!”
Even the usually shy Qin Yunsheng’s face lit up as she said, “Third Aunt, you didn’t see it because you weren’t here. Fifth Sister was amazing just now! She single-handedly suppressed the Cheng family so badly they couldn’t retaliate. Fifth Sister has really changed for the better!”
Yun Zheng didn’t have time to explain to Qin Shuanglu. She solemnly handed the land title deed and receipts to Qin Baishi,”Grandma, this is our family’s land and receipts. Keep them safe. With me here, the Cheng family will never be able to take a single hair from our family again.”
Qin Baishi took Yun Zheng’s hand, feeling incredibly comforted.
Although she didn’t care about the land and receipts compared to her precious granddaughter, Yun Zheng’s actions today showed that she cared about the Qin family.
Her granddaughter had grown up.
“Oh dear, it seems Yun Zheng has really grown up.” Qin Shuanglu’s eyes greedily glanced at the receipts in Qin Baishi’s hand, and she chuckled.
“Mom, since you’re getting the receipts back, why don’t you give me back my ten jin of grain coupons?”
“You heartless thing! These were all earned with great effort by Nannan, and you dare to covet them?”
Qin Baishi pretended to hit her, but Qin Shuanglu, having learned her lesson this time, nimbly dodged backward.
“Mom, what do you mean I covet them? Those ten jin of grain coupons were originally mine!”
“You’re talking nonsense! Lang’er already told me that these grain coupons were what you’ve been skimming off from the family’s food supplies lately. I was wondering why Nannan’s flour was gone so quickly; it was all stolen by you, you little thief!”
Qin Baishi sneered several times. She knew her daughter all too well; she was cunning and shrewd. She could tolerate her usual petty tricks, but she couldn’t tolerate her granddaughter’s food being withheld!
Qin Shuanglu’s eyes widened in panic. She glared angrily at her son, Qin Lang, then forced a fawning smile. “Mom, it’s because Yun Zheng always had to help the Cheng family. If I hadn’t been frugal, Yun Zheng would have squandered all that food stamps. I was only thinking of our family.”
Qin Baishi sneered, “If you really cared about our family, why didn’t you go to the Cheng family to support Nannan just now? Look at yourself, where do you act like a third aunt!”
Qin Shuanglu thought to herself, how was she supposed to know Yun Zheng went to ask for things? She thought Yun Zheng was going to deliver things again. Was she going to give them away for free? She wasn’t stupid!
That’s what she thought in her heart, but on the surface, Qin Shuanglu spoke in a high-sounding manner, “Mom, look at what you’re saying. Of course, I feel sorry for Yun Zheng too, but since you’ve all gone, Yun Zheng will definitely be fine. I have to stay and look after the house, right?”
Then she looked aggrieved, “Mom, you know that Lang’er is weak, and we can’t even afford medicine at home. You only care about your precious daughter, but Lang’er is also your grandson. If you don’t care about your grandson, I care about my son. I can only rely on this stingy method to make sure Lang’er gets enough nourishment.”
Qin Lang, whose name was called, immediately stood up, his face pale with illness, and said, “Mom, I don’t need to eat. I’m the fourth brother. Leave it all for the fifth sister.”
“…”
Qin Shuanglu wanted to slap this ungrateful brat who was siding with outsiders to death. How could he be so disrespectful to her? But because Qin Baishi was present, she could only suppress her anger.
Qin Baishi gave her fourth grandson, who had gotten the hint, an approving look.
“Don’t even think about the grain coupons. My daughter earned them through her own hard work, and we’ve incurred debt to buy her medicine. I need to use these coupons to exchange for money to pay it off. I’ll naturally make up the rest for Lang’er, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Why!” Qin Shuanglu shouted excitedly, “Those are grain coupons I painstakingly saved up! You’re using them to pay off Qin Yunzheng’s debt? I don’t agree!”
“You have to agree, don’t forget the family hasn’t been divided yet, and your mother isn’t dead. Have you earned a single penny for the family’s food, clothing, or other necessities? If you want grain coupons, fine, you can take Lang’er and move out yourself.”
