Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Became the Fall Guy
"Of course I want Xiao Lan to have a good life! But Mom and Dad..."
"They’re old. Brother, times are changing, mindsets are shifting. Mom and Dad are old and can’t keep up, but we have to be clear-headed."
Qin Zhonghui had never spoken at such length with his own brother in his entire life. After he finished, he asked one thing: "Brother, let me just ask you, do you really want to divorce my sister-in-law? Do you really not want Xiao Lan to have a good life?"
"How could I! I don’t want a divorce, and I want Xiao Lan to have a good life, but Third Brother slept with their girl, and now the Geng family won’t let it go... *sigh*."
Qin Jiao whispered to her father, "Dad, ask First Uncle what exactly happened. How did Third Uncle end up sleeping with that Geng Zhaodi?"
Qin Zhonghui subconsciously felt it was improper for his daughter to say such a thing, but out of habit, he listened to her and turned to ask his older brother.
Although Qin Bogang wasn’t in a good state, he still remembered the matter crystal clear.
He said, "After Feng Lan went to prison, Mom and Dad made Third Brother go divorce her. Once he divorced Feng Lan at the prison, he started looking for a partner. But the few women he met had all been married before, weren’t good-looking, and were on the older side. Third Brother wasn’t interested in any of them."
"Then someone made a suggestion: the Geng family’s daughter. She’s twenty-nine, never been married, not bad-looking, and looks like she’d be good at bearing children. She’s also good-tempered and a hard worker, a deft hand at chores both inside and out. Mom and Dad thought she sounded great, so Third Brother went over to their place to meet her."
"He took a liking to her himself. Then the Geng family brought up the idea of an exchange marriage. When they were in the county town, they saw the banner hanging at Pingan Middle School and heard that Xiao Jiao was an excellent student, which is what gave them the idea. They also mentioned that Geng Kang’an had a job in the county town and could get promoted in the future. Anyway, Mom and Dad and Third Brother all agreed. The Geng family then invited Third Brother over for drinks."
"Third Brother drank too much and fell asleep. When he woke up, that Geng Zhaodi was lying beside him without any clothes on..."
Hearing her own name brought into it, Qin Jiao remained perfectly calm, completely unfazed.
’She didn’t remember what the people from the Geng family looked like, and she didn’t need to.’
And from her first uncle’s account, Qin Jiao said faintly, "This is obvious. They set a trap for Third Uncle, and he walked right into it. They’re dead set on this exchange marriage."
Hearing his niece’s voice on the other end, Qin Bogang instantly sobered up. "Second Brother, why are you letting other people listen in?"
Qin Jiao said directly, "What, you elders are allowed to scheme against us juniors, but we don’t even have the right to know what’s going on?"
Qin Bogang was left speechless, but he still felt a bit resentful. After all, he had just been talked back to by a junior, and he wasn’t happy about it.
But Qin Jiao didn’t care whether he was happy or not. She said, "First Uncle, this is actually very simple. Find a chance to have Third Uncle take that Geng Zhaodi to a hospital for a check-up. If I’m not mistaken, she’s probably pregnant."
At that, Qin Bogang was shocked completely sober.
He said in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about? Third Brother only slept with her a little over ten days ago. How could that girl be pregnant?"
"Exactly. The baby isn’t Third Uncle’s. The Geng family is just looking for a fall guy!"
’Her grandparents might be muddled and Third Uncle might be a hopeless case, but in this matter, the Geng Family was even more disgusting!’
