In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 923 - 928: Disfigured!

Chapter 923: Chapter 928: Disfigured!

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed forward to present their gifts.

Patriarch Su brought a little wooden doll carved to resemble Qin Yanyan. Su Lao Si gave her a small wooden horse, which Little Yanyan scorned, amusing everyone to bursts of laughter. The other guests also presented their gifts. Gold lockets, silver lockets, rouge, and water powder were given in abundance, and even Old Qin bestowed upon Yan Yan a jade bracelet.

That jade bracelet had an exceptional luster; although it appeared dull from years of storage, it was evidently no ordinary item, and this truly surprised Su Pan’er.

She had not expected that her father-in-law would actually be willing to part with such a fine item for Yan Yan.

Qin Yanyan thanked everyone cheerfully, then turned her gaze towards Mrs. Qin-Li, who silently stood in the corner, attempting to hide herself in the back.

"Grandmother, what gift have you prepared for Yan Yan?"

She playfully blinked her eyes, looking up at Mrs. Qin-Li with admiration.

Mrs. Qin-Li moved her dry, old lips, her inverted triangle eyes glancing at Yan Yan with disdain, then turned her head away, "A child should learn the rules. One doesn’t just demand gifts from others! Could it be that the jade bracelet just now wasn’t enough to shut you up?"

Thinking of her own jade bracelet, which she had hardly managed to keep, only to end up in the hands of that damn girl, how could Mrs. Qin-Li show a nice face to Little Yanyan?

Her words froze the smiles on everyone’s faces.

"You old woman, what way is that to speak?"

Old Qin hurriedly tried to smooth things over, smiling at Su Pan’er before gently saying to Yan Yan, "The jade bracelet just now was a joint gift from your grandmother and grandfather. Take good care of it, and don’t lose it."

It was indeed worth a fair amount of silver.

Qin Yanyan looked crestfallen, pouting her lips, but still responded, "Oh..."

Su Pan’er, however, did not feel disappointed. If she were to be discouraged by such a trifle, she would’ve probably not been able to survive eight hundred years ago.

She smiled, "This jade bracelet is too valuable! Yan Yan is still young and can’t wear it. Why don’t you, Father-in-law, take it back and keep it safe until Yan Yan grows up, then hand it to her."

It was evident to anyone with eyes that Su Pan’er did not wish to accept the jade bracelet.

Mrs. Qin-Li’s face lit up with joy. She hurried forward from the corner, making a move to take it back.

But she was stopped by Old Qin’s stern glance and a tap on the wrist that made her cry out in pain, quickly withdrawing her hand.

"Since when do gifts given get taken back!"

Old Qin seemed not to have noticed Mrs. Qin-Li’s intention, still smiling and shaking his head, "In any case, Yan Yan is our Qin family’s granddaughter. She’s entitled to the bracelet! Even if she is too young now, you can keep it safe for her, until the time comes for it to be part of her dowry."

Su Pan’er looked deeply at Mrs. Qin-Li, examined the jade bracelet in her hand for a moment, and eventually accepted it.

"Since it’s Father-in-law’s kind intention for his granddaughter, I will keep the bracelet for Yan Yan. When the time comes for her to use it, I will give it to her then."

Mrs. Qin-Li’s face stretched longer than a horse’s!

She glared at Qin Yanyan and Old Qin, eye by eye.

The others no longer wished to engage with her and quickly changed the subject, bringing up different topics of conversation.

Afterward came the traditional eating of longevity noodles and the celebratory feast.

Today, feeling content, Qin Yanyan didn’t eat much before slipping away from the table. She pulled Qin Shuan’er along, toying with the many gifts she received, joining the other children in the yard to play.

Little Yanyan was a natural leader, and thanks to her generosity, she was always surrounded by numerous children wherever she went.

Su Pan’er also took her time finishing her meal, then chatted leisurely with Mrs. Su-Hua, Qin Yueshi, and the rest of the womenfolk in the house. There was continuous laughter.

But it wasn’t long before the sound of Yan Yan’s loud crying came through.

"Mother! Mother, please, save Shuan’er sister, hurry!"

Following Little Yan Yan, Shuan’er’s eyes shone with tears, her hand clutching her forehead was smeared with dripping blood. Seeing Su Pan’er, she plaintively cried out, "Third auntie..."

Mrs. Qin-Li, who had been with Su Pan’er, screamed in shock. Her vision went dark as she rushed forward, her hand blindly reaching out but not daring to touch Shuan’er, wailing loudly, "Oh, heavens! What happened? Why is there so much blood?"

She was crying so hard that her voice choked up, unable to finish a complete sentence.

Su Pan’er’s heart trembled, and she quickly got up to approach.

"What happened?"

"What exactly is going on? Wasn’t everything fine when you went out just now? How did you get hurt in the blink of an eye? Pan’er, wait for me. I’ll go get the medicine box for you!"

Mrs. Su-Hua was also anxious!

She turned and rushed into the room, searching for Su Pan’er’s medicine box.

Mrs. Qin-Li opened her mouth several times, wanting to ask, but feeling like her throat was blocked with panic, her voice completely hoarse, unable to speak.

Su Pan’er’s legs were trembling, too, as she barely stepped forward and reached out to examine Shuan’er’s injury but was embraced around the legs by Little Yan Yan.

With sobs, she looked pitifully at her sister, her mouth pursed and crying, "Woo woo... Mother, Yan Yan is so scared! Woo woo, Mother, please don’t, don’t..."

"Third auntie, it’s grandmother..."

Shuan’er, with tearful eyes, looked at her cousin, who was crying inconsolably, tears streaming down like pearls from her eyes: "Just now we were playing outside. Talking about the little brother in your belly. Yan Yan said she wanted a sister to play with her, but it just so happened that grandmother overheard. Grandmother said we don’t need a sister, she said daughters are all debt-collecting ghosts, they should be born and thrown into a chamber pot to die. Yan Yan just countered her with a remark. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly grandmother... she..."

"What did she want? Speak, you damn girl!"

Mrs. Qin-Li was crying her heart out.

"Grandmother raised her hand to hit Yan Yan, but instead..."

Before Shuan’er could finish, Little Yan Yan suddenly clung to Su Pan’er and cried loudly!

"Mother, it was like this! Grandmother was about to hit me, but Shuan’er sister pushed me away, and as a result, she was knocked down by grandmother, fell at the edge of the pool in the yard, and her forehead got a big gash... woo woo woo!"

"Don’t talk, let third auntie look at your wound first."

Su Pan’er felt her eyes were dry and aching as she stretched out her hand to pull away Shuan’er’s hand from her forehead.

As Shuan’er relaxed her grip, the fresh blood surged out like a fountain, startling Su Pan’er! She quickly covered the wound.

"Mother, be quick!"

Su Pan’er urged Mrs. Su-Hua out loud.

"Coming, I’m coming!"

Mrs. Su-Hua was frantic too, hurriedly fetching her medicine box in a fluster and rapidly opening it.

Su Pan’er took out a silver needle and hurried to stop the bleeding for Shuan’er.

As her silver needle descended, the blood that had sprayed like a fountain finally stopped, and everyone’s anxious hearts slowly settled down.

But as Su Pan’er started to clean the blood around the wound, revealing a gash as big as an eyeball, Mrs. Qin-Li screamed in horror and fell to the ground, fainting.
