91 Hitting Someone While They Were Down
“Oh, right. Lady Qin said that you’re in charge of the money in your family.”
Aunty Liu nodded. Although she was also very curious as to why Mo Ruyue would let a child manage the money, Da Bao’s words and actions were more mature and reliable than the average adult, so a lot of her doubts were resolved.
Besides, she was on the babies’ side. Mo Ruyue was the stepmother after all. Although she took care of the babies like a different person now, who knew if she would change back one day? By that time, the babies would have houses and money in their hands. They would also have their household registration in their hands. Moreover, Da Bao was so independent. He could live without her and did not have to worry that they would be as miserable as before.
Very quickly, Uncle Liu had the ox-cart set up. He carried the young babies onto the ox-cart one by one and drove the cart away from the Qin Family Village.
Although Mo Ruyue was not at home, the villagers were still very concerned about the movements of the Qin Family’s eldest branch. Thus, the moment the babies left the Qin Family Village, this news spread throughout the entire village.
“Mother, do you think that Mo Ruyue has gotten her retribution this time? I was just thinking that if she was convicted and sent to prison, we can think of a way to get that house and land back.”
“If those five kids don’t have that b*tch Mo Ruyue’s support, they won’t be able to do anything. With us mother and son working together, I’m afraid we can’t do this.”
Ever since Qin Xu had been driven back to the Qin Family’s old house, he rarely went to the city to drink. Now that he was not living well and was short of money, even eating was a problem. How could he have the money to let him drink?
In the past, Qin Shi had plenty of money and would indulge him a little, but now the whole family had to take out money for food and expenses. She couldn’t bear to let Qin Xu drink horse urine soup anymore.
It was difficult to get a drunkard to slowly get rid of his addiction, and it could easily relapse, let alone break it off suddenly. However, after a short period of time, Qin Xu’s entire body was tortured by the addiction to alcohol until he was thin to the bone, like a skeleton. It was a very scary sight.
Now, he stayed at home every day, thinking about where to get some money. As long as the Qin Family had a few Wen in their hands, or if he found something that could be pawned, he would hurry to the city, even if it was only enough to buy a bowl of wine to temporarily satisfy his hunger.
Originally, he thought that this kind of life would continue until his death. He didn’t expect that Mo Ruyue would suddenly offend the county magistrate of the county. This was simply a great blessing for him. Perhaps with this, he could go back to the days where he didn’t have to worry about money!
Qin Shi sat cross-legged on the Kang, holding a tobacco pipe pot in her hand. She smoked the tobacco leaves, and the smoke from her mouth covered her face from time to time. Her pair of sinister triangular eyes were covered by her drooping eyelids, so it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
“Mother, what are you thinking? Say something!”
Qin Xu choked on the smoke as he spoke and coughed violently for a long time before stopping. However, this cough brought out his alcohol addiction.
It was as if maggots were crawling all over his body, and he felt extremely itchy all over. His mouth was so dry that it made him extremely irritated. If he couldn’t drink a few bowls of wine, then he could just scold or fight whoever he caught. It seemed to be able to relieve some of his discomfort.
Although Qin Xu looked gentle and polite, he was an out-and-out domestic violence maniac. However, he was used to putting on an act and never left any traces in the eyes of outsiders.
The way he abused his wife was by pinching her with his hands, biting her with his teeth, and jabbing her with needles. Those wounds were all covered by her clothes, and he would also block her mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent her from screaming out because of the pain.
However, under the same roof, how could they not find any traces? It was just that Qin Shi had always pretended to be deaf and mute. For the names of the two children, the second wife could only choose to swallow her anger. So in the eyes of outsiders, the second wife of the Qin Family was also considered a loving husband and wife, and they were happy.
Qin Shi raised her eyes and saw the increasingly ferocious expression on her second son’s face. She knew that his alcohol addiction had acted up again, but she would let him go back to his room and wash it away. She would not take out another copper coin to buy him wine.
She had a serious addiction to smoking and didn’t have much money in her hands. If she bought him wine, what would she do if she ran out of cigarettes?
Only, it was not a good idea to sit and eat like this. Qin Shi was still somewhat moved by her son’s proposal.
“My son, you know that Da Bao has learned everything from that b*tch Mo Ruyue. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have lost the new house. Don’t look down on him just because he’s young.”
Qin Shi blew out a mouthful of smoke and said slowly.
When Qin Xu heard this, he knew that his mother was moved, but there were some things that she couldn’t say.
However, he didn’t care about that. As long as he could implement his plan and get the house and land back, it would be the best.
“Mother, I have walked more roads than he has eaten salt. Are you still afraid that I will fall into his hands? Last time, no one was prepared and they were caught off guard by him. This time, they are prepared. I will plan well. ”
“But before that, we have to make sure that Mo Ruyue, that b*tch, is in jail. Only then will we be able to make our move. Otherwise, if that woman goes crazy…”
Qin Xu couldn’t help but shiver at the thought of the torture he had suffered at her hands.
“You’re thinking of…”
Qin Shi finally put down the pipe in her hand and looked at Qin Xu.
“Hmph, what did the constable say when he came? The county magistrate’s wife was ruined by that slut! Mother, think about it, would the magistrate let that b*tch off so easily? If we can convince Divine Doctor Qin now and write a complaint to Sue that slut for harming the Divine Doctor without any regard for human life, what do you think the county magistrate will do?”
Qin Xu was originally very manic and muddleheaded when his alcohol addiction acted up, but in order to frame Mo Ruyue and put her in prison and get back his family property, his mind suddenly became unusually clear at this time. Even the plan he spoke of was thought of in a flash of inspiration.
“It turns out that my son has already thought of this step. Then mother can be at ease.”
Qin Shi nodded. Although she agreed to her son’s plan, she did not show any intention to take action.
“Mother, are you just going to let me do it myself?”
Qin Xu was stunned. He had originally thought that his mother would actively support him when she heard this news, and even take the initiative to ask for something. But now, she only verbally agreed and didn’t show any signs. This was completely different from what he had expected.
“You know your plan best. Besides, what can an old woman like me do?”
Qin Shi picked up her pipe again, using the excuse of smoking to stop talking about this topic.
“But I can’t handle it myself! That Divine Doctor Qin’s personality is so strange. If I can’t convince him, then wouldn’t I need you to help me say a few words? Besides, even if you want someone to write a complaint, you’ll have to spend money!”
