99: Chapter 97: A Two-for-One Drag 99: Chapter 97: A Two-for-One Drag Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events. By the time they came to their senses, they saw Qin Fulin, who was always honest and compliant, punching Qin Fugui repeatedly. “Stop it...” Old Man Qin’s face darkened. He glared at Old Lady Wang, “What are you standing there for? Why don’t you pull them apart? Are you waiting for them to beat each other to death?” Old Lady Wang immediately snapped to her senses and threw herself at Qin Fulin, “You beast, he is your brother... Do you want to kill him? You might as well kill me, this old woman...” Qin Fulin stopped, stood up, but his expression was unprecedentedly grim. The change in him was so frightening that it left everyone stunned, as if seeing him for the first time. They were scared by his appearance, not daring to make a sound or to approach him any further. Qin Fulin’s eyes were filled with coldness, and his voice was exceptionally somber, “You’d better keep your mouth shut, or I won’t let you see tomorrow’s sun.” After dropping these words, he strode out. Old Man Qin watched his retreating figure, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. Instead, he looked unsympathetically at the person who was still wailing, “What a disgrace, why don’t you get up quickly?” “Dad, Qin Fulin, he...” Old Man Qin’s face grew even darker, “Shut up. If you dare to speak nonsense and bring trouble to this family again, I’ll kill you first.” Qin Fugui... He didn’t dare. Old Man Qin saw him close his mouth, then turned his head to Old Lady Wang, “You calm down too. Don’t go over there, or I’ll send you back to your maiden home, and you won’t need to stay in this family any longer.” Old Lady Wang’s face changed color instantly as if it had been painted with a palette. If she were sent back to her maiden home at her age, she might as well hang herself with a rope. What was the point of living? Ordinarily, Old Man Qin wouldn’t say a word, but he was unequivocal on major issues, so she backed down. The others didn’t need to be mentioned, with the head of the family angered, they dared not make a peep. After Qin Fulin left the yard, the fierce expression on his face gradually softened and disappeared, returning to his usual kindness. He was better regarded in the village than his other brothers, and now that he was a worker, there were still many villagers who greeted him. “Fulin, where are you headed?” Qin Fulin gave an honest smile, “I’m going to see Qin Ye. The factory has started the holiday these days, and there’s nothing to do at home. I’ll see if there’s anything I can help with.” The inquirer didn’t say much more upon hearing this. But they thought to themselves that Qin Fulin was much more decent than his mother and the several brothers down the line. When Qin Fulin arrived at Qin Ye’s place, Qin Ye and Qin Mei were having a meal. “Qin Ye, you’re eating? I’m free this afternoon, let me help you with the work.” “No need,” Qin Ye flatly refused. But Qin Fulin didn’t leave; it was clear he didn’t mind the rejection, “It’s fine, I’m your uncle. Since I’m free anyway, doing some work wouldn’t hurt.” He said this as he walked towards the wall. Qin Ye’s eyes darkened, “I don’t want any relationship with those people, including you.” His words were quite straightforward. Qin Fulin stiffened for a moment. “Qin Ye, it really doesn’t have to be like this, I don’t represent them, I came to work on my own... I have nothing to do with any of them...” “No matter what you think, I don’t wish to have dealings with anyone associated with that family, do you understand? So, please leave!” Qin Ye’s voice was cold. He was as cold as his voice. Qin Fulin turned around, looking at Qin Ye, “Qin Ye, are you... angry with your second uncle?” Had the people at home angered Qin Ye during this period? Otherwise, he had never seen him so unwilling to associate with himself before. “I’m not angry, just don’t want to be involved, please understand. Since the ties have been severed, let’s make a clean break. There’s really no need to keep in touch.” His expression was completely calm, even his gaze did not ripple. Qin Fulin met his eyes... In that moment, with that stranger-like glance, he knew there truly was no connection left. His voice was a bit rough, “Qin Ye, why be like this... They are them, I am me...” “To me, it’s all the same.” The killing power of those last three words was truly immense. Qin Fulin found it hard to stay any longer, taking a deep look at Qin Ye before leaving with heavy steps. Qin Ye didn’t give much of a glance, turning to see Qin Mei with her ears perked up, “Aren’t you eating yet?” Qin Mei immediately started wolfing down her food... **** Qin Yu thought that on the train ride—he might not get a hot meal, but to his surprise, there weren’t just one, but meals at every time. He was genuinely shocked. Of course, for the subsequent meals, he had no reason to doubt, because every time before eating, his sister-in-law would step out for a bit. Like now, he saw his sister-in-law come back, his eyes lighting up, because in the boring train, meals had become his top priority. “Sister-in-law, what’s for dinner?” As he spoke up, the other passengers in the carriage had already pricked up their ears early. Because they too wanted to know. These last three days... had been nothing short of torture for them; this woman had delicious food every meal, always with meat, like pork buns in the morning. My God, they didn’t even have that good of a feast during New Year’s. The aroma was rich, and they could only smell the scent, then eat their own tasteless mixed pancakes. They experienced the hardships of life, realizing the great disparity between people. Just look, that’s what living is called, while they were merely surviving... “Dumplings tonight, eat up, pack your things, in two hours, we’ll be getting off the train.” The train was scheduled to arrive late, with no notification; he didn’t know if they could find their home. Hearing they’d arrive in two hours, Qin Yu started to get nervous again. What if his sister-in-law’s parents didn’t like him? Would they think he was a burden? A burden... Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to face the reality that he was one, and his family was the kind that one person dragged two others down. This thought made him anxious, and even the evening dumplings didn’t seem appetizing. Rong Yan looked at his distracted expression, unsure what was on the boy’s mind, and patted his shoulder, “What are you dazing out for? Hurry up and eat.” Qin Yu quickly snapped back to reality, “...” Couldn’t his sister-in-law change her habit of being so hands-on? This time he ate the dumplings with little enthusiasm. The passengers who had been keeping an eye on what they were eating turned green with envy. You ungrateful kid... If you don’t want to eat, give it to them! Rong Yan glanced at Qin Yu, also surprised, “What’s wrong, don’t want to eat? Is the flavor not good?” She had just checked the restaurant’s menu upfront, knew there would be dumplings for dinner, so she had specially gone to the sealed restroom to access her private space villa to cook them.
