Qin Shuanglu was knocked to the ground, clutching her burning face and crying out in resentment, “Mom, why did you hit me? It’s normal that Dong Qiang and I were mutually attracted and couldn’t help ourselves!”
“You shameless bast**d, you still think you’re right?” Qin Baishi grabbed a feather duster and started hitting Qin Shuanglu.
“I’ll beat you to death, you shameless little slut! If you’re so shameless, why don’t you become a prostitute? What sins did our Qin family commit to deserve such a rotten, despicable thing like you…”
“Mom, don’t hit me!” Qin Shuanglu screamed in pain, but dared not fight back, and could only plead for help, “Big brother, please make Mom stop…it hurts!”
“Mom, calm down, don’t hurt yourself.” Qin Gang had no choice but to step forward and stop his furious mother, then yelled at the sobbing Qin Shuanglu with exasperation.
“Third Sister, you’re completely foolish!”
The others sighed, unsure what to say, but from that moment on, they were utterly disillusioned with Qin Shuanglu. Even Qin Lang wore a look of utter disappointment.
Qin Shuanglu couldn’t understand why everyone was so unsympathetic. She was a widow, her husband gone, despised by everyone, destined to never find a man again. Finally, a man hadn’t rejected her and was willing to give her a home.
Shouldn’t her family, as her own, support her? What had she done wrong?
But she hadn’t considered that Dong Qiang, who had clashed with the Qin family because of Wu Wanjun, had turned around and seduced her. Dong Qiang was clearly deliberately trying to annoy the Qin family, perhaps even intending to use her against them.
Qin Shuanglu had only thought of herself from beginning to end, disregarding the Qin family’s safety. How could this not chill everyone’s hearts?
Qin Baishi clutched her heaving chest, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Qin Shuanglu. “Let me tell you, if you dare marry Dong Qiang and bring shame upon our Qin family, I’ll disown you!”
“Mom, you can’t treat me like this! I’m just pursuing my own happiness. What did I do wrong?”
Qin Shuanglu was extremely indignant. She had already been scolded and beaten; if Qin Baishi didn’t acknowledge her, how could she get her dowry?
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yun Zheng stepped in to add fuel to the fire. “Grandma, since it’s already happened, it’s too late to say anything now. If Third Aunt doesn’t get together with Dong Qiang, he’ll definitely spread rumors everywhere, making the villagers gossip about the family and causing the Qin family to lose face.”
In this day and age, people don’t dare to be open about their relationships. Someone like Qin Shuanglu, who had been having an affair with a man in secret, was thus even more despicable, practically adulterous.
Qin Baishi, having caught her breath, leaned on the table, her gaze sharp and cold as she looked at Qin Shuanglu.
“Since you insist on marrying Dong Qiang, I won’t stop you. But I can’t accept a son-in-law who stole Shen Ge’er’s wife. I especially don’t want to see your two ugly faces during holidays. So, once you leave the Qin family, we will no longer be your maternal family.”
“Mom!” Qin Shuanglu cried out in anguish. A woman without a maternal family is like a woman without support.
Qin Baishi hardened her heart. “You choose: marry him, or stay with us, your family!”
Even at this moment, Qin Baishi still held onto the bond between mother and daughter, giving Qin Shuanglu a chance to turn back.
If Qin Shuanglu chose the latter, the Qin family was willing to bear the pressure of future public criticism for her.
Qin Shuanglu, however, felt that Qin Baishi was deliberately trying to ruin her happiness, and she was filled with resentment. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Mom, if I choose to marry Dong Qiang, you still have to give me my dowry. After all, I’m your own daughter!”
“So you’ve chosen to sever all ties with the Qin family?”
Qin Baishi’s face darkened, completely disillusioned with Qin Shuanglu. She coldly said, “I’ll give you a hundred yuan as a dowry, consider it the Qin family’s way of getting rid of you. Once you take this money, you’re no longer my daughter. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with the Qin family.”
