Chapter 934: Chapter 939: Think it over before you speak!

"Enough!"

Too much!

Old Qin was in a terribly awkward situation, barely able to lift his head.

"Do you think my words are too harsh?"

Old Patriach Su didn’t give Old Qin any face, and continuously scoffed with a sneer, "Ha! But have you ever thought about, if Qin Yi returns, and hears how his adoptive parents are treating his own daughter, what will he think?"

"He’s out there fighting his battles, and not only are you pulling him down from behind, but you also want to eradicate him completely. Do you want his only remaining bloodline in this world to be destroyed as well? Can you truly not accommodate him?"

"No amount of gratitude, no amount of feeling indebted, is greater than the hatred of killing a son, the resentment of stealing a wife! Do you really want to watch the little home that has been so hard to build over these years, just collapse and disperse? He has called you ’father’ for twenty years! How can your heart be so cruel..."

"Enough, enough! Didn’t you hear me when I said ’enough’?"

Old Qin suddenly scolded loudly.

But his angry and ashamed expression, when it fell into the eyes of Old Patriach Su, seemed only laughable, pathetic, and pitiable!

He stopped talking as he wished and silently stared into his eyes without even blinking.

Which made Old Qin awkwardly dodge his gaze.

Where did he have the face to look directly into his eyes?

"Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t say more. I have already handed over the Qin Mansion to the foolish girl. What the foolish girl and your grandson-in-law plan to do from now on, this old man doesn’t know. You want to protect the person who can be your lifelong companion, but have you thought about your son? What about him? He grew up lonely and uncared for, and at long last, he found a woman who understood the warmth and cold, had his own bloodline, had his roots, and he also had a woman he wanted to stay with until old age. Are you really going to destroy it all, leaving no thought or consideration for him?"

After saying this, he turned woodenly and left.

"Wait! I..."

Old Qin was so flustered he couldn’t speak and instinctively called back Old Patriach Su.

He didn’t leave his son without any thoughts! He just wanted to protect the woman who had been with him for countless years, the woman who was not only his wife but also the mother of his Third Son!

But when Old Patriach Su turned back, he didn’t know what to say or what he could say!

Yet he also understood that today, no matter what, he couldn’t just let him walk away like that; if he really did leave, later, with Third Son, he would have even less to say.

"She, no matter what, she is indeed... she really is..."

"Think carefully before you speak!"

Old Patriach Su waved his hand, cutting off his unfinished words.

Old Qin took a deep breath, the half-uttered "Unintentional Mistake" stuck in his mouth, unable to say it. After a long silence, the atmosphere became so stifling and oppressive it was hard to breathe: "Her madness has flared up, spewing nonsense, hereafter, I will take good care of her."

These were both a statement and a promise.

"You have said this more than once."

The same words, he had told him them many years ago.

Saying it too many times had already made people lose confidence, unable to trust anymore.

The first time he mentioned it, it was when the Qin family came to propose marriage. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed! He could almost see how this cousin-uncle didn’t look as old as now, his body still exceptionally strong, coming to the Su Family to propose marriage...

No! It should be force a marriage, to be precise!

This Cousin-Uncle came to the Su Family to force a marriage, demanding that his son marry away his beloved granddaughter!

His most beloved granddaughter! The child he had always kept under his watchful eye as she grew up! It’s not that he didn’t know how to love other children, but he truly cherished her!

When he discussed this matter with his fourth son, the son actually nodded in agreement. He understood what his fourth son meant; the son also saw the potential in Qin Yi, who at such a young age had already become a successful candidate in the preliminary imperial examinations. If the foolish girl missed this chance, it’s uncertain whether she might end up with a peasant for the rest of her life!

Therefore, he went against everyone’s opinion and agreed to this marriage. He even got the nod from his Cousin-Uncle, who said that if anything untoward should happen to the grandson-in-law in the future, his foolish girl could return to her maiden family.

What he wanted was to take a gamble!

The fourth son was also willing to take the bet, staking his dearly beloved Pan’er’s lifetime happiness on it! Luckily, they won the bet!

But how difficult it was for them to make this decision at the time!

He almost didn’t sleep the whole night and then asked the Qin Family for twenty more taels of silver. He originally thought that with these twenty taels of silver by her side, even if he grew old and died, the foolish girl wouldn’t suffer if she returned to her maiden family.

But to his surprise, the Qin Family agreed nicely, and then sent over an old sow as a disgusting compensation!

Claiming it was worth the twenty taels of silver.

Thinking of the foolish girl marrying into the Qin Family and away from his watchful eye, and ultimately having to live with them, he gritted his teeth and accepted the old sow and reluctantly married off his most cherished granddaughter...

Who could have imagined!

His words had turned prophetic!

Not a single one of the Qin family members was good; they actually mistreated his foolish girl like this!

Even after so many years, even though his foolish girl was quite capable, those Qin family members still tirelessly tormented her! Tormented her and the children she bore!

With in-laws like these, it would be better to have nothing to do with them, even if it means tearing each other apart and dying with grievances!

Patriarch Su knew that Su Pan’er had just finished childbirth and was recovering. Knowing the nature of this foolish girl, even if she stayed silent, it wouldn’t be for long. What she wanted was a formal apology from Mrs. Qin-Li for what she had said, "If you give birth to a daughter, just throw her into the piss pot and drown her", a protest against the malicious treatment that her unborn granddaughter had already received from her own grandmother.

To bring Little Sugar Bean into this world, how much effort had the foolish girl put forth!

Always accompanied by two miracle healers, she exhausted her heart and soul, almost trading her life for her daughter’s!

The more she loved and adored the newly born Little Sugar Bean, the more she loathed that Old Shrew.

This time, she absolutely would not let Mrs. Qin-Li slip away from her grasp again!

"Cousin-Uncle Su."

Old Qin’s words were filled with desperate pleading.

He had already cast away his dignity, wishing only to downplay the big issues and dissolve the small ones.

But Patriarch Su had a heart as steadfast as a rock, leaving him only with that resolute back turned to him, not waiting for him to say anything more; he was already walking towards the house with his cane, quickly rounding the rockery and flowing water, climbing the layered stone steps, and stepping over the high threshold, his figure disappearing into the house with its simple and strict architecture.

Soon, bursts of cheering could be heard from inside.

The cheering was so close, it seemed as if he could step out and enter the house. Yet the cheers also seemed so distant as if he would never be able to join them and be a part of it, not even if he spent his whole life trying.

Since when had their relationship become so distant?

Old Qin tried hard to remember, but he couldn’t recall the last time he heard such joy and laughter.

Or perhaps, he had never heard it at all!
