154 Chapter 154: Hand Over To Eldest Son’s Household
“I’ve caused you guys much worry with this matter.”
Everyone was caught by surprise.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu exchanged glances and comforted their father.
“We’re fine. Father, as long as nothing happened to you, it’s fine.”
Qin Erhu nodded in agreement.
Qin Xiaoyao also turned to look at her father.
“The matter has been resolved. After this, you can relax and take care of your body, Father.”
“There’s Big Brother and Second Brother to support the family. Even if they can’t cope, I can come back to help. Things won’t end up in a mess,” she comforted him.
Qin Dazhuang looked at his daughter, his eyes full of gratitude.
“You’re all filial…” he said.
The three siblings looked at each other, and their faces displayed faint smiles.
Successfully sending Madam Zhang away was indeed the result of the joint efforts of the three siblings.
“But, although Madam Zhang has left today, what comes next…” Qin Dazhuang’s face still appeared worried.
With the Zhang family’s temperament and Madam Zhang’s personality, they would not be willing to let go of a money tree like him.
The reason they left today was because Sanya and his two sons were around. Besides, Qin Dazhuang was also determined.
However, as long as the child in Madam Zhang’s tummy was still there, the Zhang family would not give up on looking for him.
He was afraid that his heart would soften.
Qin Xiaoyao could see Qin Dazhuang’s worry.
“Father, you don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen next.”
“You should rest at home these few days. You can open your stall when you’re better.”
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu.
“In any case, business is not good these days. Big Brother and Second Brother need not go out to collect live pigs every day. Just let them hold the fort for now.”
The two brothers quickly nodded.
“When you’re better, you can stay at home to work or help out at the stall. I’ll let Big Brother or Second Brother stay by your side. At that point, if the Zhang family dares to come…”
“Younger Brother and I are not to be trifled with!” Qin Dahu immediately replied.
The two brothers were different from their father. They didn’t care much about Madam Zhang and the child in Madam Zhang’s tummy.
Moreover, now that their father had divorced Madam Zhang, they had nothing to do with the Zhang family anymore.
Therefore, they no longer have to worry about taking action against their elder.
If the Zhang family dared to provoke them, they’d better be prepared to get beaten up.
Qin Erhu nodded his head immediately. He totally agreed with his big brother’s words.
He had been displeased with the Zhang family for a long time, but it was not easy to deal with them in the past.
After this, if the Zhang family dared to come looking for trouble, he would not hold back.
Qin Xiaoyao was very satisfied with her two brothers’ reactions. She then looked at Qin Dazhuang.
When he heard this, Qin Dazhuang’s heart felt more at ease.
Right now, he didn’t care about feeling humiliated anymore.
After this incident, he had also thought through many things.
He was old, but his children had grown up and could take his place to support the Qin family.
It was time for him to step down and give the opportunity to support the family to his eldest and second sons.
Qin Xiaoyao was amused by her big brother’s response.
Following that, she added, “One other thing. We can’t just leave the Zhang family alone.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Qin Dahu.
“After all, Madam Zhang is carrying our Qin family’s seed. We have to send someone to watch the Zhang family’s situation.”
Qin Dahu frowned.
“It’s best to get people from the Zhang family’s village to keep an eye on them. Once they discover anything amiss, they can come and inform our family.
“Also, when she gives birth, they have to inform us.”
“This way, we can bring the child back as soon as possible. It is also to prevent Madam Zhang or the Zhang family from having any designs on the child.”
She did previously tell the Zhang family to send the child back after Madam Zhang had given birth, but she was not expecting the Zhang family to really do so.
Once the child was born, the Zhang family would definitely use it to threaten her father.
They naturally had to take early precautions.
Qin Dazhuang quickly nodded and agreed with his daughter.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu exchanged looks and nodded.
Although they hated Madam Zhang, their younger sister was right. The child in Madam Zhang’s stomach was the child of their Qin family.
They couldn’t let a member of the Qin family be stranded outside.
...
“Then I’ll go to the Zhang family’s village again and use some silver to find someone to help keep an eye on them,” Qin Erhu said.
“No need. Your presence there will be too conspicuous. The next time Zhang Laosan comes to town, I’ll talk to him!” Qin Dahu said.
Zhang Laosan was the Zhang family’s neighbor. He didn’t get along with the Zhang family, but he was on good terms with Qin Dahu.
If he asked Zhang Laosan for help, the latter would definitely agree.
Hearing this, Qin Erhu remembered Zhang Laosan and nodded.
After arranging all this, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.
Suddenly, Eldest Sister-in-law said, “Gosh! When the child is brought back, he needs milk. Don’t we need to make some preparations in advance?”
As soon as she said this, everyone seemed to remember this detail.
Then, they all looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao was amused by her eldest sister-in-law’s expression and turned to look at her father.
Qin Dazhuang finally spoke.
...
“I’ve already discussed this with Sanya. The Liu family in her alley has a daughter-in-law who just gave birth to a baby. They say that she has plenty of milk.”
“When the child is taken back, we’ll send him to the Liu family and ask that daughter-in-law to help feed him. I’ll give them some money. It should work.”
Eldest Sister-in-law immediately felt relieved when she heard this.
After that, she blurted out, “Then I’ll… I’ll carry him there!”
She had been married to her husband for almost three years, but she had not been able to conceive.
There was going to be a baby in the family soon, so it was good for her to get close to him and have some baby luck rub off on her.
If she really couldn’t get pregnant… Her father-in-law was already old. If she were to raise her future brother-in-law or sister-in-law as her own child, the child would definitely remember her kindness in the future.
Everyone turned to look at Eldest Sister-in-law.
They could all see through Eldest Sister-in-law’s intentions.
Second Sister-in-law couldn’t help but touch her slightly bulging belly as she sympathized with her eldest sister-in-law.
Fortunately, she had just gone to the Hundred Herbs Hall to get Doctor Li to check her pulse and confirm that she was indeed pregnant.
Otherwise, she would be as panicky as her eldest sister-in-law.
Qin Dazhuang glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law and nodded.
“When the child returns, you can raise him in the eldest son’s household,” he said.
After the incident with Madam Zhang, he would not think of looking for another wife in the future.
He was a rough and boorish man, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the child well.
Since the eldest son’s household was willing to take care of the child, he would leave it to his daughter-in-law.
It would be good too for the child to show filial piety to the eldest son’s household in the future.
Eldest Sister-in-law’s face was filled with excitement.
“Yes. Thank you, Father!” she hurriedly said. At the same time, there were almost tears in her eyes.
Only God knew how much pressure she had been under in the past year or so.
Although her father-in-law and her husband had never pressured her, her own mother had urged her every time she visited her family.
Her mother was afraid that the Qin family would despise her daughter and divorce her.
She also wanted to get pregnant and give birth to a child for her husband, but…
However, Doctor Li of the Hundred Herbs Hall had already confirmed with her that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant with her constitution.
She could only try her best to build up her body and hope that the Child-endowing Goddess would take pity on her.
However, she knew very well that she probably wouldn’t be able to get pregnant…
Now, things turned out well. Madam Zhang had been divorced, and no one was taking care of her child.
