151 Chapter 151: The Arrangement

Moreover, if this matter really made its way to the county government office, wouldn’t the whole town know about his family’s scandal?

Qin Xiaoyao could see Qin Dazhuang’s worry. She reached out and patted her father’s shoulder.

“We’re just scaring them. As long as they agree, we don’t need to report it to the authorities,” she reassured him.

In ancient times, the common people were very afraid of the government, and she understood her father’s thinking very well.

!!

If her father was afraid, the Zhang family would be even more afraid.

Moreover, the Zhang family was the one in the wrong.

As long as the authorities handled this matter impartially, she wasn’t sure if the Zhang family would be imprisoned, but she was sure that they would have to compensate the Qin family.

She wasn’t afraid that the Zhang family wouldn’t be able to pay that much money. Anyway, when they went to collect the debt, it would be enough to destroy the Zhang family.

If the Zhang family weren’t stupid, they would just take Madam Zhang back.

Of course, after Madam Zhang was brought back, how she would be treated was no longer her business.

She only needed the Zhang family to guarantee that Madam Zhang would be allowed to give birth to the child safely.

As for why Qin Xiaoyao didn’t let Madam Zhang stay in the Qin family until the child was born, this was undoubtedly to prevent her father from becoming soft-hearted and getting bewitched by Madam Zhang again.

Since such a thing had already occurred, there was no room for leniency.

“But what if they don’t agree?” Qin Dazhuang was a little tempted, but he was still very worried.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“They’ll probably agree. Otherwise, we’ll make them compensate us. They can forget about keeping the money they’ve spent so much effort to lay their hands on and the house they are staying in now.” At this point, Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes shone with an icy glint.

Hearing his daughter’s words, Qin Dazhuang felt a little depressed.

He knew very well where the money the Zhang family now had and the money for renovating the house came from.

Right now, he really wanted to get all the money back, but…

Forget it. He would just treat it as an investment for his unborn child.

“Mm-hmm.” Therefore, Qin Dazhuang nodded.

Looking at her father’s dejected face, Qin Xiaoyao reached out with her hand again and patted her father’s arm.

“Let’s just take this as stemming the loss in time.”

“You can always earn back the money you’ve lost. Think about it from another perspective. Without that thieving rat Madam Zhang in the house, with your ability, sooner or later, you will be able to save up the family’s wealth again.”

Qin Dazhuang was surprised.

When he heard this, his heart finally felt much more at ease.

“Mm-hmm!” Hence, he nodded again.

Qin Xiaoyao finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Then I’ll go and look for Second Brother and ask him to inform the Zhang family. We’ll take care of this matter when they arrive in the afternoon,” she continued.

Qin Dazhuang nodded again.

Qin Xiaoyao finally stood up.

“In addition, my family doesn’t know that I’ve returned to my maiden family. I have to go back.”

Qin Dazhuang immediately raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

A hint of uneasiness flashed across his eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’ll come back after I let my family know.”

“Then, I’ll only leave after this matter is settled.”

Only then did Qin Dazhuang relax.

“You go back then,” he said.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

After saying goodbye to her father, she left the room and went out.

In the courtyard, Madam Zhang had not gone far and was still lurking around the house.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao coming out, she quickly lowered her head and avoided Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze.

A look of disgust flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.

“I’m going home now. I’ll be back later.”

“When I’m not around, you’re not allowed to enter my father’s room and disturb him. Otherwise…” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t finish saying the rest of her threat.

However, judging from Madam Zhang’s trembling body, the effect was not bad.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything more and walked out.

Not far away, the Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law saw Qin Xiaoyao coming out and surrounded her to ask for an update.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say much. Instead, she asked where her second brother was.

“Oh, it’s the big market fair today, so your second brother went to help out at the market. Do you want him to come back?” Second Sister-in-law said quickly.

She was about to go out and call her man back.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.

“No need.” She stopped her Second Sister-in-law.

“I’m going home for a while. On the way, I will drop by the market on West Street to have a talk with my brothers.

...

“I’ll have to trouble my two sisters-in-law to keep an eye on the house. Before I come back, don’t let Madam Zhang enter my father’s room.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Madam Zhang, who was still standing outside her father’s room.

Although Qin Xiaoyao had already warned her, who knew if Madam Zhang would listen?

It wasn’t easy for her to persuade her father, and she couldn’t let anything scuttle her efforts.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law also looked at Madam Zhang.

Knowing their young sister-in-law would return later, they felt more at ease.

Immediately, Eldest Sister-in-law answered, “Alright!”

When Second Sister-in-law saw Eldest Sister-in-law looking at her, she quickly agreed to her young sister-in-law’s request.

Since it was their young sister-in-law’s instruction, they could just push all the blame to her if things go wrong.

Now that Madam Zhang had done something wrong, she would not dare to make trouble with them.

“Mm-hmm. Then I’ll take my leave now, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

After that, she went to retrieve her handcart and left.

...

After leaving the Qin family, Qin Xiaoyao went straight to the market on West Street to look for her big brother and second brother.

The weather was hot, and the morning market ended early.

When she arrived at the Qin family’s meat stall, the Qin brothers were already preparing to close up.

Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and told them the result of her discussion with Qin Dazhuang.

Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu were extremely shocked after hearing this.

“It’s good that he’s divorcing her. This will prevent her from continuing to harm our Father and our Qin family!” Qin Dahu was the first to respond.

“That’s right! However, Zhang Ershui is still being held by the people from the gambling den. I’m afraid that the Zhang family won’t let our Father divorce his wife so easily.” Qin Erhu expressed his approval, but he was a little worried.

Thus, Qin Xiaoyao told them her plan.

“If they don’t want to lose everything and have Madam Zhang and Zhang Ershui end up in jail, they will have to accept it.”

“If it really doesn’t work, we three siblings are not to be trifled with. We’ll think of a way to cripple the two of them and see if they won’t cooperate.” As she said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.

The only bad thing about this era was that many things couldn’t be solved purely by using force. Otherwise, things would have been much simpler.

Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu both looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Then, the two brothers exchanged looks with each other again.

“Don’t act recklessly! If we are really going to do it, it’ll be your second brother and me who will take action!” Qin Dahu continued.

Qin Erhu nodded in agreement.

He didn’t know who his younger sister took after. When she was ruthless, she could be even more ruthless than the men in the family.

However, his younger sister was right. To deal with scum, sometimes one had to use some extreme means.

Otherwise, people would think they could push the Qin family around.

Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile when she felt the care and love from her two brothers.

She didn’t agree or refute and continued, “Then, this matter is settled.”

“I have to go home and let my family know.”

“Second Brother, go and inform the Zhang family to come over.”

“Oh yes. Just say that Zhang Ershui has been detained by the people from the gambling den. Don’t say anything else. We’ll just summon the two elders of the Zhang family and the eldest brother of Zhang Ershui!” Qin Xiaoyao reminded.

“Mm-hmm!” Qin Erhu agreed immediately.
