âBrother Qin, isnât this too much? Weâre all from the same village and will be seeing each other on a daily basis. Thereâs no need to go to such an extent,â Auntie Cai next door came out and said.
She looked at Qin Guobiao in disapproval and sighed with pity. âBesides, Xi has had a hard life since she was young. Now that sheâs almost dying, you⦠Sigh, canât you just let her rest in peace?â
Li Guihua spat. âOld Madam Cai, donât stick your nose into my family affairs. Itâs her fate whether she suffers or not. Itâs none of our business! If youâre so bored, get your granddaughter-in-law to lay an egg. Donât walk around medding in everything you see.â
Knowing that she wasnât as good at quarreling as Li Guihua, Auntie Cai snorted and turned to leave. âYou⦠Hmph, Iâm not telling you. Youâre too selfish. Youâll regret it one day.â
At this moment, someone shouted that the village chief was here. Qin Xi quickly stuffed something into her mouth and lay back under the blanket.
âWhatâs going on?â The village chief was in his forties. He looked ordinary and had dark skin. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, his face immediately darkened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hu Xiaofeng pointed at Qin Xi and said, âVillage Chief, you came at the right time. I want to cut ties with Qin Xi.â
The village chief looked in the direction she was pointing. Seeing that Qin Xi obviously didnât have long to live, he was shocked. âWhatâs wrong with this child? Wasnât she alive and kicking a few days ago?â
Hu Xiaofeng was so guilty that she did not dare to look the village chief in the eye. She straightened her neck and said, âChief, the Han family are bullies. That b*tch is already married, but they still want her to be buried in my familyâs ancestral grave. Chief, this is inappropriate, right?â
The village chief still did not know what had happened, but what Hu Xiaofeng said made sense. However, he knew Hu Xiaofengâs character and did not believe her on blind faith. He looked at the people around him and asked, âCan someone tell me what exactly happened here?â
âChief, donât you know? The Qin family is simply a bunch of animals. They poisoned Xi and even blackmailed the Han family to pay the gambling debts. Theyâre the ones in the wrong in the first place, and now they want to cut ties with this poor child. How outrageous!â
Some villagers couldnât stand it anymore and told him what happened. The village chiefâs face immediately darkened.
Poison?
......
This was against the law. He did not expect such a horrendous thing to happen in his village. If word got out, it would affect the reputation of the village and his position as the village chief.
He looked at Qin Guobiao. âUncle Qin, are you really going to cut ties with this child?â
Although Qin Guobiao was ashamed, he still gritted his teeth and nodded. âChief, letâs do that. If she wants to blame, blame herself for being unlucky. In the future, weâll just take her as a stranger.â
As soon as he said that, the villagers clicked their tongues. What a shameless old thing!
Pfftâ¦
âAh, Xi, Xi, how are you?â
âWifey, why are you vomiting blood?â
Luo Xiujuan and Han Shi exclaimed in unison. Everyone looked over and saw Qin Xi vomit a mouthful of dark red blood. The villagersâ hearts tightened and they looked at her with sympathy.
Seeing this, Han Dazhu panicked. He looked at the village chief and slapped his thigh. âWhat should we do? Shuan Zi, what should we do?â
