Chapter 303: Chapter 252 Third Watch

And Zhao Daquan, snapping back to reality upon seeing his mother being attacked... naturally, he couldn’t just stand by. As a filial son, he didn’t care who the other party was! He charged forward to lend a hand.

If it was just two women fighting, it wouldn’t be too bad, but once a big man got involved, that was a different story.

It was early morning and quite a few neighbors were up and about in the alley. Seeing Aunt Jin being grabbed and beaten by a mother and son, someone quickly ran to the Jin Family to report the incident.

The only one at the Jin Family who hadn’t left for work yet was the youngest son.

Hearing that someone was hitting his mother, he couldn’t just let it go.

Without saying a word, he rushed out.

When he saw his mother being hit by a tall and sturdy man, his eyes instantly turned red with rage, and with a bellow, he charged over...

Madam Rong, who was eating, said, "Why is it so noisy outside? It sounds like there’s a fight!"

Qin Ye, with slightly sharper ears, listened carefully and then nodded, "They are indeed fighting..."

It was so early in the morning and yet, a fight had broken out outside. He had no idea which family was involved.

Madam Rong couldn’t stay put any longer. She quickly set down her chopsticks, "I’ll go have a look." They were all neighborhood folks. If someone was fighting – it was only right to try to break it up.

Rong Wenming also stood up, ready to go take a look, because the noise outside was too loud, as though the fight was quite fierce.

Qin Yu was getting restless, "...Big brother, let’s go out and take a look too..."

Qin Ye cast a cool glance at him, "When did you start enjoying watching other people fight?"

Qin Yu: ...

Well, life is better now, so of course, I have the leisure to be curious.

In the past, when they didn’t have enough to eat and others were bullying their family, who would care about whom!

Qin Ye didn’t respond to him and got up to head outside too.

He was purely concerned about his in-laws; after all, the commotion outside was quite big, and it would be bad if his in-laws got accidentally hurt.

Qin Yu: ...If you’re going yourself, why can’t I? So he quickly stood up and followed.

Of course, before leaving, he didn’t forget to tell his younger sister, "Little Mei, you don’t go outside. Just stay at home!"

Qin Mei was timid and indeed didn’t dare to go outside to watch the commotion, but she could stand inside the house and look out. So she also got up and peeked out from behind the door. When she saw Xu Guilan.

Her eyes widened in shock... Wasn’t this the person who wanted her sister-in-law to treat her last night?

She was fighting with next-door Aunt Jin... Could it be that they were actually here to cause trouble for her sister-in-law?

This wouldn’t do; she needed to hurry and tell her sister-in-law. So she turned around and ran back into the house, then thundered upstairs.

She knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

At that moment, Rong Yan was actually inside the ’space’, because she had found that the ginseng she had placed on the shelf the previous day was sold. The shelf was empty, so she urgently came in to check it out.

But if the ginseng was sold, then where was the money?

Just then, she saw a transparent box next to the shelf – inside was money, the kind of money you could use in this era.

So she reached out to take the money.

After counting, it was two hundred and ninety-seven yuan.

Service fee of one percent?

Alright, that was acceptable.

She pocketed the money and then went to the ’space’ villa to wash her face and brush her teeth. After all, she had just made a large sum; this amount of money was still affordable for her.

Just as she finished washing her face, she then heard a noise from outside that seemed to be Qin Mei.

She flashed out of the ’space’ immediately.

Walking over to open the door, she saw Qin Mei’s somewhat anxious expression.

"What’s happened?"

"Sister-in-law, the person from last night came... There’s a fight outside... with Aunt Jin..."

Rong Yan was confused.

"Somebody is fighting with Aunt Jin? You mean her niece from last night?"

Qin Mei nodded quickly, "Yes..."

Rong Yan now understood – it must be Xu Guilan and her mother-in-law who had come.

From the few words she exchanged with Xu Guilan last night, she already knew that Xu Guilan’s mother-in-law was not easy to get along with, so she wasn’t surprised at all when trouble came knocking today.

"Let’s go and take a look."

She walked toward the staircase.

Qin Mei hurriedly followed her.

However, when Rong Yan got to the doorway on the ground floor, she stopped, "You stay at home, don’t go out."

Qin Mei nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law."

Just as Rong Yan was about to step outside, Qin Ye returned.

Seeing Rong Yan, he said, "Wife, you better not go."

Rong Yan looked at him, "Then you get on your bike now and go report to the police; the station is the place we passed by yesterday."

Those people would probably come looking for trouble at her place once they were done beating up Aunt Jin, and she had no interest in dealing with it.

Qin Ye nodded, "Alright."

He went into the yard, pushed his bicycle out, and rode away.

Rong Yan glanced outside and saw that her parents weren’t involved in the brawl, so she decided not to interfere anymore.

She turned to head back.

On the way, she called out to Qin Mei too, "Stop watching; these sights can affect your mental and physical development."

Qin Mei: ...

Still, she followed behind her sister-in-law.

Rong Yan asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I was eating," Qin Mei honestly replied.

"Then continue eating; make sure you’re full first," Rong Yan said before going into the kitchen.

Speaking of trouble, it was really Aunt Jin who had brought it upon herself; didn’t she know what kind of person her niece was?

If it hadn’t been for Aunt Jin’s sake, she wouldn’t have bothered to check Xu Guilan’s pulse.

Since she did, of course, she had to tell the truth.

Qin Mei: ...

Sister-in-law is so calm! Isn’t she worried at all?

Those people outside seem really aggressive!

Could they barge in here?

The fight outside didn’t last too long; there were many neighbors around, and they eventually separated the two families.

Aunt Jin’s face was scratched with several bloody marks from fingernails.

Her hair was a mess, like a chicken’s nest.

Her clothes were somewhat torn as well.

Old Lady Zhao looked just as wretched.

The two sides pulled apart were still unwilling to give in, cursing at each other.

"You heartless old witch, the world has never seen the likes of you, actually wishing that your daughter-in-law wouldn’t have children, poisoning her to achieve that; you don’t deserve to be human..."

"Pah, you’re the one who doesn’t deserve to be human, scheming with others to cheat your own niece over a bit of money, and then trying to slander me. If you don’t clear my name today, I’ll never let this rest..."

The crowd: ...

What is this about?

Poisoning, cheating out of money?

Old Lady Zhao’s anger shifted to Xu Guilan standing by, and she shouted, "Xu Guilan, you tell us, did I cause your infertility?"

"No, not at all..." Xu Guilan, frightened by her mother-in-law’s dark and angry face, turned to her blood aunt for support.

"Aunt, my mother-in-law didn’t harm me, it must have been someone else..."

Hearing this, Aunt Jin felt all her good intentions were wasted like food fed to a dog.

"Xu Guilan, you don’t deserve to be part of the Xu Family."
