In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 940 - 945: Can’t Show My Face Anymore!

Chapter 940: Chapter 945: Can’t Show My Face Anymore!

Su Lao Si stopped her from saying more, not for the sake of Mrs. Qin-Li, but for the newly born Little Sugar Bean.

That sentence Mrs. Su-Hua couldn’t utter left her feeling quite indignant.

"Fine, I won’t say it! If for nothing else, consider it as gathering blessings for my just born little granddaughter!"

She glared at Su Lao Si and turned back to ask everyone, "Come on, you all, tell me, doesn’t this Old Shrew deserve a beating?"

Mrs. Su-Hua’s words filled the onlookers outside, who were keen on the excitement, with righteous indignation.

And some couldn’t help but speak up.

"Fourth Aunt Su, we’ve all been graced by Miracle Healer Su’s kindness, and we all remember it in our hearts! Right now, we’ve all come to seek justice for her. But what exactly is today’s fuss about?"

"We haven’t figured out the full story yet, so talk clearly. Wasn’t it Old Qin who was going to chop Qin Wan’er with a kitchen knife? How did it get related to Miracle Healer Su?"

"Exactly, what is the matter at the end of the day? Could it be that the daughter who married out has come back to cause trouble for Miracle Healer Su?"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with speculation, each trying to guess the details, especially after seeing Qin Wan’er’s current state – whispers grew even louder.

Meanwhile, the subject of their discussion, Qin Wan’er, sat on the ground clutching her neck, crying woo woo without responding to anyone.

"That’s not the case!"

Mrs. Su-Hua flatly denied, "Everyone knows the temperament of my Pan’er. She wouldn’t offend anyone unless they offended her first. The younger sister-in-law has just returned to her maiden family; she hasn’t even seen Pan’er yet!"

Seeing her quick denial, the crowd speculated about other possible reasons.

However, it wasn’t long before some people in the crowd brought up the news that some children from the village had brought out from the Qin Mansion a few days ago.

After all, when Mrs. Qin-Li said the phrase "If a daughter is born, just throw her into the urine pot and drown her," she had said it in front of a group of village children.

In this world, there are no walls that can keep secrets forever.

Once the reason became known, the onlookers looked at Mrs. Qin-Li with unspeakable contempt.

Hearing the people’s discussions brought a sense of satisfaction to Mrs. Su-Hua’s heart – a feeling that words could hardly describe!

On the surface, however, she maintained a grief-stricken expression, silently staring at the wounds on Su Lao Si’s face.

"Enough, I’m not a young girl, a couple more scars on my face aren’t a big deal," Su Lao Si said nonchalantly.

His gaze, however, remained fixed on Mrs. Qin-Li nearby, immediately reminding the onlookers that this Mrs. Qin-Li, who could beat her own granddaughter Shuang’er half to death, would certainly not spare an outsider.

The crowd immediately burst into gossip, pointing fingers at Mrs. Qin-Li.

Mrs. Qin-Li, unusually silent, stood there shrinking back in fear.

It wasn’t that she had become silent by choice, but out of fear! And it was not anyone else she feared, but Old Qin. At that moment, Old Qin was staring at her with a fierce, crimson glare, as if he were about to devour her.

Mrs. Qin-Li actually had her moments of fear!

The crowd marveled, finding it a rare sight indeed!

"All right, everyone go home now! Ah—"

"There’s nothing more to see. Every family has its own difficulties, and we are all fellow villagers, so let’s not watch anymore, let’s not watch."

"It’s just some trivial household squabble, everyone go back! Go on, go back, there’s nothing more to see..."

Su Lao Si, taking charge, began ushering people away, persuasively guiding the onlooking crowd out of the yard with kind words, and then thoughtfully closed the main gate himself.

This act of his won him praise from the crowd.

Someone couldn’t help but speak out on his behalf, "It’s Su Lao Si who sees reason, a rarity indeed! If I ever encountered such in-laws... Hmph!"

"With that bear-like appearance of yours? You want to marry a good woman like Miracle Healer Su? Pah! Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, and see if she’s someone you can even dream about?"

"And why can’t I dream about it? Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about it! Not only is she beautiful and skilled, but her medical expertise is excellent too, sigh! It’s truly maddening how some people make others feel inferior!"

"..."

The crowd was filled with mixed emotions and slowly dispersed.

With outsiders gone, Old Qin’s forcibly sustained momentum dissipated instantly. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

He had lost all his dignity!

"In-laws!"

"Old man!"

"Grandfather!"

Everyone shouted in unison and hurriedly gathered around.

Some rubbed his chest, some his back, others pinched his Renzhong. It was quite a fuss before Old Qin finally regained consciousness.

Old Qin only opened his eyelids slightly, and upon seeing the people around, immediately closed them again, refusing to open his eyes anymore.

"Let’s help the patient into the house, it’s too cold out here and not suitable for recovery."

The hurriedly arrived Old Xue simply took one look and ordered the crowd accordingly.

The crowd, all hands on deck, quickly carried Old Qin into the house.

Old Qin lay at the head of the bed, his eyes tightly shut, his face the color of gold paper, clearly suffering from extreme rage that had damaged his internal organs.

Su Lao Si had made up his mind when coming here that he would say and do certain things to Old Qin, to make him bow his head and deal with Mrs. Qin-Li. But at this moment, he found himself unable to utter any of the reproaches no matter how many he had.

"Sigh, don’t think too much, just focus on getting better," said Su Lao Si as he gently patted Old Qin’s shoulder, "There’s no hurdle in this world that you can’t get over! Everything will be alright in the future."

Old Qin didn’t speak or even open his eyes.

But a single tear rolled down from his tightly closed eyes, tracing the lines of age across his silver hair and sinking into the pillow.

Su Lao Si didn’t say any more empty words, just gently patted his shoulder and silently walked out.

Eleventh Uncle prepared a prescription and handed it to Mrs. Qin-Li to brew.

Mrs. Qin-Li silently accepted it, entered the kitchen with the medicine pouch, and busied herself without having the chance to tidy up.

Only Qin Wan’er remained seated on the ground, her head buried in her arms, motionless.

Su Lao Si, staying silent, took a look at the desolate Qin Mansion courtyard, void of lively atmosphere, and felt an unspeakable desolation rise within him.

He looked up, sighed deeply, and without a word, turned and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.

Those who left with him included Old Xue and Eleventh Uncle, and naturally, Mrs. Su-Hua as well.

Mrs. Su-Hua was clearly not at peace!

"So, after all this ruckus by that Old Shrew, this matter is just going to be let go? She’s really something, to pull off such an act of self-harm!"

The sarcasm in her voice earned her a glare from Su Lao Si.

"What kind of way is that to talk?"

Su Lao Si looked at Old Xue and Eleventh Uncle walking in front and lowered his voice, "Not for the monk’s sake but for the Buddha’s. Old Qin is in such a state now, and he’s sick; he can’t be without someone to care for him. Do you really plan on having him send Mrs. Qin-Li away at this time?"
