Chapter 88: The Extreme Product - Qiu Nainai (Part 2)

  Qiu's mother almost burst out laughing when she heard the girl's words, and quickly held back her laughter, using a spoon to demonstrate her amusement. This kid really knows how to mock people, his father often gives chicken hearts to his brother to eat, saying that eating which part can supplement which part, eating chicken hearts can grow more heart eyes, who knew this kid would use it here, but indeed didn't use it wrongly, this old lady should be supplemented.

  Qiu's grandma listened, her face turned pale and white, she slapped the table hard and said to Qiu's dad with a stern face: "Look at your good daughter, does she still have any manners? Now she dares to use words to hurt me. How did you two educate her? Yanzhao, is it okay for this little girl to insult her mother like that?"

  Qiu's father glanced at the girl, saw his daughter's face full of grievances, but also clearly saw the smile in her eyes. He explained to the child's grandmother in a calm and unhurried tone: "Mom, you misunderstood Xiaoye. Xiaoye gave you chicken heart with good intentions. I told the kids before that because of your age, your heart isn't very good, so she put chicken heart on your plate to supplement your heart."

  Qiu Ye listened beside him and nodded vigorously. How could he say that his grandmother was short-sighted when he himself was a filial child?

  "Hmm, she's so kind-hearted!" Old Lady Qiu looked at Qiu Ye with suspicion, who was looking back at her with a sincere face.

  Qiu's father has been away from home for many years, and he is used to a comfortable and easy life. Although his small family doesn't have much money, they don't have too many things to worry about every day. Now that his mother has come, he may have to go back to the annoying days of his childhood, and the old lady can make a fuss over nothing, which makes him anxious.

  "Mom, why did you all come to Oil City? You said before that you wouldn't go anywhere and would just stay in your old house?" Qiu Dad asked his question, he wanted to know what brought this family here. So he could make arrangements.

  Qiu's grandma and Qiu Yansen exchanged a glance, and she too had forgotten about the argument just now.

  "Yanlin, you don't know, Mom couldn't make ends meet at home, so she came to rely on you. At home, your older brother is completely hopeless, he's being controlled by his wife and doesn't even dare fart. Every month, the grain I get has to be fetched multiple times by your third brother before it's given to me in full, I'm really suffering at home. You say...I'm already so old, still having to suffer from my daughter-in-law's temper, it's unbearable. I thought to myself, don't I still have a second son? So I came to live with you for a while."

  Qiu's mother listened, sneering in her heart. This old lady has always been biased towards her third son without hiding it, and it would be strange if Eldest Sister was willing to provide for the third son's family every month. Many years ago, when she returned to her hometown, it was like this. The old lady loves her three sons the most, but looks down on her second son, who is Old Qiu himself. She has three sons and two daughters in total. She lets the other two sons and two daughters give her grain and money every month, and then uses these offerings from her children to support her third son's family. It would be strange if the other children were willing to go along with this.

  "Mom, you're welcome to come live with me anytime. But as for the Nakayama family... " Mr. Qiu couldn't bring himself to say anything about not supporting his elderly parents, nor could he do such a thing, so when his mother said she'd like to stay for a while, he couldn't refuse, though it would be a burden on his wife; he gave his wife an apologetic glance.

  "Oh, they didn't have much to do back home either, so they thought of sending me here to you, and at the same time, see if you can find some work for me or something. After all, there's more opportunities in the city than in our rural hometown." Old Lady Qiu replied on behalf of the whole Qiu family.

  Qiu Yansen and his family acted as if they hadn't heard anything, eating and drinking as usual, since there was an old lady in front to take the blame anyway.

  Qiu's father didn't say anything, eating and thinking silently.

  Qiu's grandma was no longer angry and picked up her chopsticks again to eat. They were sure that Qiu's dad would agree.

  Qiu's mother started to get anxious, the old man came to her and she couldn't do anything about it. After all, she was someone else's daughter-in-law. Supporting the elderly was their obligation, but this brother of hers still had to support his younger brother's family, which was a bit too much. Moreover, her family already gave 35 yuan to the old lady every month, which was not a small amount. If they added five more mouths to feed at home, they would really struggle to make ends meet. The main thing was that Qiu Yansen's family had two strong laborers, it wasn't right for them to do nothing and let others work hard to support their family. Qiu's mother was really worried that Qiu's father would impulsively agree to this.

  Qiu's father held Qiu's mother's hand under the table again, offering silent comfort.

  Qiu's father remembered that Lao San Jia still had dozens of hectares of orchards in their old home, as well as a new house they built when they got married. These were all considered ancestral property, given to Lao San by the elderly lady. Those things back home are the foundation for people to live and make a living, and farmers take them very seriously.

  It's not that the old lady is biased, but rather that someone like Qiu Dad who has come out to make a living on his own hasn't been able to get any of the family property, and yet he ends up being the most filial child.

  "Yan Sen, you're thinking of developing this place, what about the land and house back home?" Qiu Dad asked his third brother, but looking at the three brothers' family still eating and drinking non-stop, his frown deepened. This family had been spoiled by their mother and didn't understand the rules at all.

  Qiu Yansen lifted his head from the rice bowl and said to Second Brother in a somewhat unnatural tone, "Those... those things we sold when we were thinking of coming here."

  That's to say they've come this time with a determination to break the cauldrons and sink the boats, even if Dad Qiu says no, it won't work.

  Qiu Dad thought for a moment and said, "Qiu Sen, your mom said you all want to come over and develop this thing. I've thought about it, and I don't object. People move towards better places, water flows downwards, right? As long as you're willing to work hard, it's definitely going to be better here than back home."

  I just thought for a moment, since you are planning to live here for a long time, then you must have your own home.

  Didn't you sell the house and orchard at home? It's just right to use that money to buy a house in Oil City, so you'll have a place to settle down. Later, as you work hard step by step, your life will get better and better."

  Qiu's father was genuinely planning for his younger brother's family. Since they wanted to settle down here, and he himself was a local, he had to think carefully about their future life.

  Qiu's father was expressing his thoughts when Qiu Ye saw San Shu under the table making gestures to San Shu, it seemed like there was more to the situation.

  As expected, during the pause in Qiu Baba's speech, Qiu Yansen hesitated and said: "Second Brother, we don't have enough money to buy a house here."

  Qiu's father raised an eyebrow and looked at him, meaning he wanted him to explain. They had bought the house and land at home, so how could they not have money?

  Qiu Yansen stuttered and couldn't make himself clear, his wife got anxious and said: "Ahh, isn't it just that? What's there to be embarrassed about with your own brother? You won't say it, I will. Second Brother, it's like this, something happened to Jiaqing at our old home, for the sake of the child, we mortgaged the orchard and house to someone."

  Qiu's father became even more perplexed and had a bad premonition, asking: "What happened with Jiaqing that you're giving away all these valuable things to others?"

  Jia Qing, this kid, while adults were talking about him, was still eating his meal with a carefree attitude.

  Old Lady Qiu looked at her second son with a bit of impatience and said, "Isn't it just that matter? They're grasping onto it and won't let go. Your younger brother only gave them the orchard and house because he pitied them, what's the use in asking about those things now?"

  "Mom, you're not being fair," Qiu's mother retorted. "We're a school unit, and the most taboo thing is to be dishonest or corrupt. That's why Yanlin wants to get to the bottom of this; otherwise, it'll be bad for us if we don't handle it properly." She also wanted to know what that child had done, thinking that in the future her own children might have frequent contact with Old Three's two kids, and she was afraid they would be led astray.

  Qiu's grandma slammed her chopsticks again and said, "What's the big deal about being a scoundrel? Isn't it just sleeping with that foolish girl? Can you blame Jiaqing for that? One hand can't clap by itself. If that foolish girl didn't want to, could Jiaqing force her? Humph! I said we shouldn't spoil that family. Even if we don't compensate them, they won't dare make a fuss because of their reputation. And in our hometown, with your older brother and sisters around, what are we afraid of? If they dare come to our house to cause trouble, we'll just drive them out." She's still full of complaints now, but back then she wanted to reason with the other family, and her third son and daughter-in-law wouldn't let her speak. In the end, they had to give away their orchard and house to the other family before she would think of this second son of hers.

  Qiu Ye almost fell over when she heard this, isn't this a case of rape? Isn't this called rape? I didn't expect that the kid opposite me, who is not yet 16 years old, has already committed such a serious crime. It's really true that you can't judge people by their appearance and you can't measure the ocean with a bucket. Moreover, looking at his attitude, neither he nor his family have learned from this lesson. Is it only when he actually kills someone or sets fire to something that they will take it seriously? No, this is almost as serious as murder or arson. Can such a lawless person live in peace in this city? Qiu Ye expressed her strong doubts. Now she feels a deep-seated disgust towards her cousin and hates him so much that she wants to report him to the public security agency.

  Qiu's mother was also shocked by what the child had done, this child looked quite good, but did such a thing, she began to worry, her own daughter was only nine years old, but also a girl, now she couldn't let her daughter be in the same room with such a cousin.

  Qiu's father furrowed his brow and said seriously, "Mom, this is no small matter. If we catch them here, they'll be shot." Qiu's father was referring to the time of severe crackdowns. Although it wasn't a period of severe crackdowns now, Youcheng's law still dealt harshly with such criminals. What Qiu's father said was not meant to scare them.
