Chapter 392: Chapter 401: How Shameless Can You Be

Hu Li didn’t know where she got Qin Xiangnuan’s address, and she also knew that they had bought a Siheyuan in the Capital City. This Siheyuan wasn’t an ordinary house; back in the Qing Dynasty, only the royal family could afford to live in one. It’s said that even a small Siheyuan would be equivalent to over a dozen large houses, and the bigger ones, well, they are about twenty or thirty. The houses in their village are only allocated a few square meters per family, and their family has a heavy burden to bear with two children to send for education, and less labor at home, so while the entire village has built new homes, theirs is the only family without one.

Qin Pengfei’s results were not good that year, despite retaking the entrance exam and ultimately ending up in a third-rate university. Now that he has graduated, he hasn’t been assigned a good job. He fancies himself above average and is not satisfied with an ordinary job. Those secure jobs, like iron rice bowls, are not within his reach, so since graduating, he has been idling at home for several years, unwilling to work the land, living in indulgence. It’s not Hu Li’s fault; even when there are matchmaking opportunities for her son, Qin Pengfei is too picky and looks down on them, and Hu Li also feels that none are good enough for her son, who is a college graduate and will be looking for work in the city in the future.

It was perfect timing when she found out that Qin Xiangnuan and his siblings were actually in the Capital City. This was a good turn of events.

Her Xiang Mei had made it big this time, getting into a university in the Capital City. She is now the golden phoenix who has flown out of the village, and surely she’s destined for great success. With this in mind, the three of them, mother and children, made their move.

They are intent on living in this Siheyuan, which belongs to the Qin Family, naturally meant for the Qin Family to live in. Qin Pengfei has his own plan; he wants to sell the house and then use the money to start a business. With money, what’s there to be afraid of? He’ll become a big boss.

"Mom, go knock on the door."

Qin Xiangmei was sitting on her suitcase, fanning herself with her hand. How can the Capital City be this hot? Especially now, what will she do when summer comes? Anyway, she’s decided not to live at the university - she’s going to stay in this Siheyuan.

It’s truly fortunate that the Siheyuan is so close to the university. Only fools would live on campus and eat there. As long as she lives here, she has her meals covered for the day, save a lot of money, and can even afford new clothes.

Hu Li originally intended to knock on the door as well, but when she heard the barking of the dog inside, she didn’t dare to make a move.

And there was a sign at the door: Beware of the fierce dog, please do not enter.

Who isn’t afraid of dogs, especially fierce ones? People naturally don’t dare to bite, but dogs don’t care whether you are a person or not. If you provoke it, it will bite.

Hu Li withdrew her hand, no longer daring to move.

Qin Xiangmei really wanted to roll her eyes, but thinking that it was her mother, she refrained from saying anything and just turned her face away in a sulking manner.

The dog inside barked like mad with each bark making Hu Li shrink a bit more. Although Qin Xiangmei displayed a look of arrogance, only she knew the fear she felt due to the dog’s barking at that moment.

Once she’s inside, she’ll definitely get rid of that dog.

"Hey, Aunt Lv, it seems you have guests at home?" Just then, Granny Lu returned from picking vegetables, preparing to cook for the children. Before she reached the door, a neighbor spoke up to her,

Three people have come, they must be relatives from your old home, right? That dog’s barking is really vicious.

Relatives from the old home? Granny Lu was puzzled, they didn’t have any visitors from their old home. It couldn’t be her son, but that was impossible. Ever since her two children drove her out, she had never returned, assuming they both thought of her as dead.

Thinking of her two children, she couldn’t help feeling sad now.

In fact, she didn’t hate those two children. After all, they were flesh that fell from her own body. She understood why they didn’t want her—it was because another mouth to feed meant one more person to eat.

But if it wasn’t those two from the family, then who could it be?

Being so close, she could hear Conghua’s calls, signaling that strangers were indeed present. With the commotion lasting for so long, it was clear they hadn’t left. As she stepped forward and saw the three people sitting at the doorway, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, a wave of discomfort rising in her heart.

It was them.

Hu Li and her two children. What were they doing here?

Granny Lu hesitated, unsure whether to leave and come back after these people were gone, or to confront them now and clear things up. She had never liked Hu Li, nor did she care for her two children. Ever since they moved here, they had never thought of seeing her again. Was this woman too persistent, refusing to leave them alone?

Perhaps there really was truth to the saying that there are no walls in the world that can keep secrets.

No matter how long they hid, those who needed to be found would eventually be discovered.

After some thought, Granny Lu decided not to return just yet. She wasn’t prepared to meet these three nor did she know what to do upon seeing them. It was better to avoid them for now, and wait for her granddaughter and grandson to come back, then discuss it with them. But knowing Qin Xiangyang and his siblings, she was certain they would not bother with these three.

Qin Xiangyang might be the one to soften, but Qin Xiangnuan definitely wouldn’t.

Over the years, she increasingly felt that the child had a strong character and temper. At the age of six, she had taken Qin Xiangyang away from the Qin Family. Now at twenty, surely she could make her own decisions without a smaller courage than before.

Just as Granny Lu turned to leave, she heard a shriek from behind her.

"Mom, it’s her, that damned old hag."

The term "damned old hag," enflamed Granny Lu’s anger, turning her face green with rage. Such an ill-bred child; had it been her own granddaughter brought up this way, she would have punished her severely.

Hu Li’s eyes widened as she spotted Granny Lu, and seeing that she wanted to leave upon spotting them, Hu Li became furious. Tossing her bag to the ground, she rolled up her sleeves and approached with the imposing manner of a shrew that could curse and fight in the village.

"You damned old hag, what do you mean by this, not opening the door for us, wanting to starve or dehydrate my kids to death? Or are you planning to claim this house as your own? I’m warning you, this is our Qin Family’s house, and you’re just an outsider. What right do you have to live here? Open the door immediately, or I’ll beat you to death, you old hag."

How shameless can one be?

Granny Lu finally realized that there’s no limit to shamelessness in this world.

As for Hu Li, her dignity had long been thrown to the winds. Granny Lu felt a pain in her chest from anger, but in the end, she could only walk over, open the door, and let it be. After all, these were the parents of Qin Xiangyang and his siblings. Everything else would have to wait for their return.
