Chapter 160: Chapter 160: How Did It End Up Like This?_1
By the time Su Pan’er and the others arrived, the grain drying field was swarming with people. Villagers from nearby settlements had all gathered here, making it a lively and bustling scene.
In the center of the drying field, a large area was cordoned off with straw ropes and wooden poles, which were tied with red cloth. It seemed to be a venue prepared for ancient football and polo. Onlookers crowded around, craning their necks to get a glimpse of the activities inside.
Within the field, there were a number of burly young men, all eagerly gearing up for a big game.
Aside from one of them being her cousin from the Su family, Su Pan’er did not recognize the others.
Before she could squeeze into the crowd, Qin Yueshi pulled her aside.
"Third brother’s wife, let’s go! They are playing on the swing over there, it is very interesting, shall we go too?"
With that, she dragged and pulled her away.
"But I..."
Su Pan’er wasn’t interested in the swing. What piqued her interest were the ancient football and polo games!
However, before she could finish her sentence, she was tugged by the edge of her clothing by Qin Shuang’er.
Looking up at her with hopeful eyes, Shuang’er pleaded, "Third auntie, Shuang’er loves playing on the swing. Will you join Shuang’er, please? Please..."
Her pleading words softened Su Pan’er’s heart.
Qin Yi gave a small smile: "Pan’er, let’s accompany Shuang’er."
Su Pan’er nodded.
Willow catkins flying and swallow shadows slanting, human faces like peaches greatly enhanced the bloom.
The soft breeze swaying the willow leaves, under a section of weeping willows near the river, countless swing sets swayed. Strings of silvery laughter echoed from beneath the flowers and branches, adding life to the already charming scene.
Upon seeing Su Pan’er swiftly set up the swing, Shuang’er rushed to sit down. Her head was adorned with a wreath of fresh flowers meticulously weaved by Su Pan’er. As the swing swayed, she laughed brightly.
The swing, intertwined with the Bleeding Heart Vine and winter jasmine, had flowers blooming furiously, adorning Shuang’er’s face with a red glow.
"Third auntie, higher! A little bit higher, Shuang’er wants to fly even higher!"
Her laughter quickly spread to Qin Yi, Su Pan’er, and Qin Yueshi, causing them all to smile.
"Hold on tight, I am going to start pushing!"
As Su Pan’er’s words fell, the swing flew even higher, throwing Shuang’er into the air, before quickly swinging back.
Watching Shuang’er enjoying herself, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but worry about Su Ke, who was at home.
"What’s wrong? You were having fun and now you suddenly look unhappy?"
Her hand was suddenly grasped, and the concerned voice of Qin Yi sounded in her ear.
Su Pan’er instinctively tried to retract her hand, but Qin Yi held it even tighter.
"Ke’er is alone at home, I want to go back and check on him..."
"So that’s what’s bothering you!"
Qin Yi laughed.
The swings were mostly crowded with womenfolk, making him stand out as a man in such surroundings. If it wasn’t for accompanying her, he would have left already.
"You rarely get out to relax, and Shuang’er enjoys your company. You stay here, I’ll go and check on Ke’er. If everything is alright, I’ll come right back."
Su Pan’er thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, be careful on your way."
Watching Qin Yi walk away, Su Pan’er suddenly remembered the food she had specially prepared for Ke’er, which she had forgotten to ask him to bring back, so she quickly chased after him.
As Shuang’er swung higher and higher, Qin Yueshi shouted worriedly, "Slow down, Shuang’er, be careful not to fall!"
"I know, mom."
Shuang’er laughed happily, and although she responded agreeably, she only swung even higher.
This caused Qin Yueshi to shake her head and sigh, muttering to herself: "This naughty child, she’s so different from her three older brothers, such a handful! Only in front of her grandmother does she behave, daring not move a muscle."
"Wow! Your mother-in-law is indeed a piece of work."
A woman nearby suddenly turned around: "Considering the scandalous things she’s done, how can the Clan Leader let her out? This vile woman needs to be heavily punished! Look at your own daughter, for example..."
The smile on Qin Yueshi’s face froze when she realized someone was eavesdropping.
The woman suddenly shifted the topic, pointing at Shuang’er who was playing happily: "What I find strange is, she obviously dotes on Qin Wan’er, and Shuang’er, being a girl and her own granddaughter, why doesn’t she love her? Her favoritism is too blatant! I’ve never seen a grandmother behave like this!"
The more the woman spoke, the less Qin Yueshi smiled.
Although she felt the same, she truly didn’t know how to respond at the moment.
"Humph! Gossiping about others behind their backs, beware of posthumous eternal suffering in the tongue-ripping hell!"
Before Qin Yueshi could reply, a cold snort suddenly sounded from an angle.
Qin Yueshi was instantly panicked!
She was taken aback, her face turning pale.
Even Shuang’er quickly stopped the swing and slid down, hiding behind Qin Yueshi.
With that cold snort, Qin Wan’er, dressed up splendidly, and Mrs. Qin-Li appeared. By their side was a smug Mrs. Qin-Chen.
The arrival of the three immediately froze the atmosphere!
Everyone, who was previously laughing and joking, stopped and pointed at Mrs. Qin-Li’s group, whispering to each other.
The three seemed completely oblivious.
Seeing their arrival, the woman who had been stirring up trouble disappeared into the crowd.
Mrs. Qin-Li watched her leave, a fire blazing in her eyes as she failed to vent her pent-up frustration.
Upon seeing Qin Shuan’er, her eyes instantly turned green and she took a few strides to reach the girl.
"You’re so young but already so vain, dressed up in this nonsensical way. Are you trying to seduce others like a demon fairy?"
The scene immediately became lively!
Although Qin Yueshi tried to protect Shuang’er, she was restrained by Mrs. Qin-Chen and Qin Wan’er who had quickly caught up. Mrs. Qin-Li harshly pulled off the garland from Shuang’er’s head in anger.
Shuang’er’s hair was suddenly messed up, and she couldn’t help but cry out, "My garland! The garland my third auntie wove for me, and was gifted by my grandmother! Woo woo..."
She instinctively tried to snatch it back.
Hearing it was woven by Su Pan’er, Mrs. Qin-Li’s face darkened further, and with a thrust, she pushed Shuang’er away!
Qin Shuang’er stumbled and fell onto the gravel, letting out a painful cry.
Still unsatisfied, she threw the garland onto the ground and stomped on it with her foot.
"You unlucky brat, even at such a young age you don’t behave! You actually dared to yell at your grandmother! Should have just poisoned you with hard liquor when you were born, saves me from having to look at you now..."
Looking at the ruined garland, she finally vented her pent-up frustration.
"Shuang’er!"
Qin Yueshi cried out in shock, struggling to break free from Mrs. Qin-Chen and Qin Wan’er to run towards Shuang’er.
Another figure was faster!
Su Pan’er rushed over and helped up Shuang’er: "What happened? I only left for a moment, what happened here?"
Shuang’er had fallen onto the stony ground, her palms and elbows were scraped seriously, even her forehead was hit by a stone, bleeding profusely.
Upon seeing Su Pan’er, Shuang’er couldn’t help but burst into tears in her arms.
"The garland, the flower... grandmother, woo woo..."
