Chapter 194 - 194 Simply Whimsical!
194 Simply Whimsical!
She thought this way because she didn’t believe that Mo Ruyue would help her family out of kindness. She felt that according to Mo Ruyue’s temperament, he should be hitting her when she was down and not sending charcoal in the snow.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s just a bit of skin bitten by a snake, how can it be injured? I already said that it was just a way to force Mo Ruyue to relent and just put on an act.”
Qin Xu’s heart was on fire. Once he thought that this plan had failed, he had to think of another way, but there was no better way.
“No, husband, Qingyuan was bitten by a venomous snake. I heard from Sister-in-law that the poison was very strong. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were quick to save him, Qingyuan would have been dead by now!”
After Madam Wang shouted, Qin Xu was suddenly stunned. After a few seconds, he turned around and rushed into the house.
When he saw the unconscious Qin Qingyuan on the bed, he started to tremble.
“Qingyuan, wake up, wake up! Father has returned!”
Qin Xu somehow moved to the side of the bed and tottered to put a finger under Qin Qingyuan’s nose. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he felt a weak breath.
Qin Xu’s heart, which had been in his throat, fell back into his stomach. He had no strength left in his body. He just wanted to take a step back, but he didn’t expect his legs to soften and he sat on the ground.
“Husband, are you alright? You didn’t hurt yourself, right?”
When Madam Wang came in, she saw that Qin Xu had fallen and couldn’t help him in time. She could only go forward and help him up.
“Get lost! Now you’re trying to curry favor? Why didn’t you keep an eye on Qingyuan before? Or was he bitten by a venomous snake? Then how much would it cost to treat the patient? You don’t need to spend money to recuperate later? Did the money just fall from the sky?”
Qin Xu flipped his hand and pushed Madam Née Wang. Not only did she fall on her butt, but she also lost her balance and fell backward. Her head slammed into the edge of the bed, making a loud “dong” sound.
Wang Shi’s vision turned black, and after a long time, a sharp pain came from the back of her head. Her body also started to spin, and for a moment, she couldn’t stand up. Her four limbs flapped, but there was not even a single hand that could help her get up.
On the other hand, Qin Xu stood up unsteadily. He looked at Qin Qingyuan, who was lying on the bed, and then at Madam Wang, who was struggling on the ground. He was extremely annoyed.
“Tell me, is there anyone else who can do it? You can’t even do such a small thing well. All of you have brains that spend money on food. Now I’m the only one supporting the entire second branch. If I’m tired to death, you can go and drink the northwest wind, right?”
“Husband, Qingyuan became like this because of your plan. He almost lost his little life. How can you say such things? ”
Madam Née Wang’s dizziness hadn’t recovered yet, and hearing Qin Xu’s words, she felt even more dizzy.
It was the first time she had argued with Qin Xu so loudly for Qin Qingyuan.
“You dare to speak to me in such a loud voice?”
Qin Xu squinted his eyes and sized up the woman in front of him.
She had always been submissive in front of him and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, let alone speak loudly. What was the matter? Was there no one who could control her now that her mother was not at home?
“This stupid plan is like a child’s play. Who is that Mo Ruyue to be so easily fooled by you? This was simply whimsical! Now that there’s one lying in bed at home, which one of them doesn’t cost money to treat and take medicine?”
“Are you helping me or making things difficult for me?”
The more Qin Xu spoke, the angrier he became, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who had first proposed to use the ruse of self-injury.
“Husband, the child did this because he empathized with you. That’s a venomous snake! You didn’t see the blood when she was treating the child, and the child fainted from the pain. Don’t you feel bad?”
If it was in the past, Madam Née Wang would immediately shut up after being yelled at by Qin Xu. She would shrink her head and wish she could immediately disappear. But now, her words followed one after another, as if she was trying to argue with Qin Xu.
“Pa!”
A loud slap landed on Madam Née Wang’s face. She had just straightened her body when she sat back down again from the slap.
The back of her head, which had already been hit once, hit hard again. This time, she could no longer get up. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
“Mother, mother!”
Qin Qingfei, who had been cowering outside the door, saw that her mother had fainted and there was a large pool of blood flowing out from the back of her head. She was so scared that she suddenly rushed out and pounced on her mother. She shook Madam Wang while wiping her tears and wailing.
Qin Xu was also shocked by Madam Wang’s appearance, but when Qin Qingfei cried, the inexplicable fire in his heart was ignited again.
“Why are you crying? It’s like a mourning, she’s not dead! If you want to cry for your mother and brother, go outside and cry! I’m telling you, hurry up and go to your aunt’s house to get two sets of medicine for your mother. Don’t delay it!”
As he spoke, he walked out. Suddenly, someone hugged his thigh, and he almost tripped.
“Father, where are you going? I’m scared! Big Brother’s medicine is still boiling outside, and Mother is unconscious now. I don’t know how to do it!”
Qin Qingfei didn’t know where her courage came from, but she clung to Qin Xu’s thigh and refused to let go.
She was afraid that if she let go, her father would run away and leave her alone. How could she take care of her mother and her brother?
“Then quickly wake your mother up and let her boil the medicine. You dare to play dead after being slapped? Bah!”
Qin Xu spat, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly added, “Remember, if your aunt asks you for money, your family will be poor and you will have no money. Your mother fell down accidentally, did you hear me?”
After he finished speaking, he kicked Qin Qingfei away and turned around to leave in a hurry.
He was worried about everything inside and outside the house, so he might as well go out and have some peace. The restaurants and teahouses in the county were all good places to kill time.
He also had a money bag in his arms. That was the silver he had exchanged for secretly selling two acres of his family’s land. It was enough for him to live a carefree life in the county town for a while.
When Qin Xu turned around and left, he didn’t see his son, who was lying on the bed, staring at him.
Qin Qingyuan woke up when Madam Wang talked back to Qin Xu for him. Before that, he didn’t open his eyes, but he had regained consciousness and clearly heard the entire conversation between his parents.
Originally, he thought that he was the treasure in his father’s palm and that the Qin family would rely on him to bring glory to the family in the future. However, it seemed that he had thought too much.
His father was the one who came up with the ruse of injuring himself first. When he first mentioned being bitten by a snake, he even praised him vigorously. But now, it seemed like he was making a fool of himself. Was this a trick?
The more he heard, the more shocked he was. The more he heard, the more he felt a chill all over his body. Why didn’t he realize that his father was such a cold and heartless person before?
