Chapter 180: Chapter 171 This Can’t Be Eaten “What are you waiting for? Go and call your grandfather and your dad over here.” Old Sir Qin wanted to see his grandsons right now, immediately. Although he also considered his younger brothers’ children as his own, Qin Ye and his two siblings were the descendants of Jiang Hua’s son, who she had risked her life to give birth to. This affection was, after all, a bit different. He had to bring Qin Ye and his siblings back to the Qin Family no matter what. Moreover, there were Jiang Hua and her never-seen son and daughter-in-law’s ashes; he insisted on bringing them back and burying them in the family’s ancestral ground. “Okay, great-grandpa, I’ll head home now... Oh, right,” Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment, “great-grandpa, when you’re home alone, please don’t be too sad.” Old Sir Qin gave him a glance, “Why do you keep dawdling, boy? I haven’t even held my great-grandchild yet, how could anything be wrong?” At this, Qin Zhen laughed. Indeed, the old man was stronger than he had imagined. “Right, great-grandpa, I’m going to leave now.” His home was not far away, and he guessed his family might have received the news and could already be on their way here by now. Sure enough, before he could even reach the downstairs, he heard his own grandfather’s thunderous voice. “Qin Zhen, Qin Zhen, have you rotten kid come back?” Qin Zhen: ... “Let’s go, let’s go down together.” Old Sir Qin also heard his brother’s voice. The two of them went downstairs together. The real Mr. Qin was Qin Wuchong... and he was waiting downstairs at this moment. “Big brother, are you okay?” Qin Wuchong looked at his older brother with great concern. “I’m fine.” Old Sir Qin shook his head. “I heard there was news, is it true?” When Qin Wuchong asked this question, he looked at his own grandson, Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen nodded, “Yes, there’s news, but it’s better if I call my dad and Qin Heng over too! That way I won’t have to repeat it three times.” Hearing this, Qin Chong wanted to hit him, “You brat, what’s wrong with saying it three times? Is it wasting your saliva?” Qin Zhen: ... Well, isn’t that just wasting my saliva? But fearing his grandfather’s piercing gaze, he succumbed and repeated the whole story in the simplest and most concise language he could manage. Qin Wuchong was famously hot-tempered, and listening made him feel angry, furious, and heartbroken. His emotions had gone through several turns. Such talk lasted for almost half an hour. “You big fool, strutting around at home acting like the grand Mr. Qin, shouting ‘Mr. Qin’ to everyone you meet, stealing my thunder. I thought you were some big shot, but you can’t even handle this?” Qin Wuchong was furious. They had found the people but didn’t bring them back; was his grandson’s head full of lumps? Don’t think he didn’t know that his grandson disliked his name for not being imposing enough, having had everyone in the courtyard call him Mr. Qin since he was little. Dammit, if this kid is Mr. Qin, what should the real Mr. Qin be called? Qin Zhen: ... If he was imposing outside, now he was equally meek. He was truly about to be scolded as a fool. “Enough, it was Qin Ye and the others who had their own considerations and didn’t come back with us... Don’t blame Qin Zhen.” Old Sir Qin’s intervention immediately silenced the hot-tempered Qin Wuchong. Afterward, he asked, “Big brother, what do we do now? Should I go and bring them back myself tomorrow?” Qin Zhen simply couldn’t agree, “Grandpa, you can’t go, if you’re really worried, let my dad go instead.” Qin Wuchong thought for a moment, “That’s fine, then let your dad go with you.” Qin Zhen: ... Anyway, it seemed he couldn’t escape the fate of having to go. Luckily, he had planned to make another trip anyway. “Great-grandfather, oh right, I have two bottles of medicine here that my cousin sent, saying they’re to nourish your health, and there’s a share for grandpa too.” He took the medicine bottles out of his pocket. Seeing how overjoyed and pleasantly surprised Old Sir Qin looked, he suddenly hesitated. Should he have not taken it out? “Great-grandfather, this cousin of mine said these Health Care Pills... seem to be mixed by her. I think her intentions are really good, but let’s not eat them, okay? It’s not that I don’t trust my cousin; it’s just that... she’s never studied medicine before and seems to have learned from someone during her two years in the countryside... It’s best we just look at them.” He actually thought about throwing them away on his way here but felt that would be inappropriate. What if, after arriving in Jingshi, the cousin asks Old Master Qin if he has taken the medicine... wouldn’t that give it away? When Mr. Qin heard that these nourishing pills were a gift from a granddaughter-in-law he had never met, even if they were poison, he wouldn’t hesitate to swallow them. He snatched the medicine bottles from Qin Zhen’s hand, “How should I take these pills?” Qin Zhen was shocked, “Great-grandfather, I think it’s better if we don’t...” Old Master Qin shot him a glare, “This is a gift from my granddaughter-in-law, how could we just forget about it? Is she going to poison me?” “That’s right, could my granddaughter-in-law really poison the two of us old folks? Enough, stop fussing over this and go find your dad.” After Qin Wuchong said this, he turned to his older brother, “Big brother, the granddaughter-in-law said there’s a bottle for each of us, you can’t keep both, give me my share!” Qin Zhen: ... Were these two old men actually fighting over it? They were really brave to consume it! He felt he could still struggle a bit, “Great-grandfather, how about this... I’ll have these Health Care Pills tested, and if there’s nothing wrong with them, then you can take them.” Of course, if there was a problem, they would definitely be destroyed. “What’s the need for a test? This is a gift from my granddaughter-in-law.” Mr. Qin didn’t give Qin Zhen a chance to argue, twisted off the cap, poured out a pill... and directly popped it into his mouth. Qin Zhen, seeing his action, was too late to stop him. “Big brother, give me my share...” Qin Wuchong was also getting anxious. But Old Master Qin didn’t hand it over, instead, he pocketed the two bottles of nourishing pills, “Why do you need nourishing pills with your good health? This is my granddaughter-in-law showing her filial piety to me. You’ve had a granddaughter-in-law doting on you for years, stop arguing with me over this.” Qin Wuchong: ... Qin Zhen: ... Should he call a doctor now? Sigh, if his dad found out, he’d probably break his legs. It was his own moment of foolishness, why did he take them out now? Would it not have been better to have them tested at the hospital first and give them out afterwards? How he regretted it. “Great-grandfather, don’t you feel any discomfort?” If so, it was urgent to go to the hospital for treatment! Old Master Qin: “No, I’m feeling very well now, and these pills seem quite good too; there’s a medicinal scent, and I think I can smell ginseng.” Hearing this, Qin Zhen comforted himself... this cousin didn’t seem unreliable, probably there was nothing to worry about.
