I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 73 Qin's Revenge

"Mother-in-law, don't worry. You've let me take my wife home this time. From now on, I'll be the first one to come and wish you a Happy New Year every year!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Lin immediately swung her stick at Su Congxian.

"Who cares if you come to wish me a Happy New Year? Let me tell you, Su Congxian, my daughter will not go back to suffer your injustice. If you really want my daughter to go back, then have the people who bullied her come to apologize in person. Otherwise, hurry up and get a divorce!"

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian was immediately in a dilemma. This Granny Liu was a person who had the final say at home, and now his mother-in-law actually wanted his domineering mother to apologize to Lin Shi, which was simply impossible.

Actually, Su Congxian came to pick up Lin Shi today without telling Granny Liu. Ever since Lin Shi left, Granny Liu has acted as if she doesn't exist. She never mentions Lin Shi, let alone asks Su Congxian to pick her up.

Su Congxian couldn't sleep at night without holding his wife, so he called Su Qingsong, stole some silver from Granny Liu, bought some of Lin's favorite food, and came to Linggezhuang to find Lin.

Now, Su Congxian is caught in a dilemma because he cannot meet the demands made by Granny Lin, and he absolutely refuses to divorce Granny Lin.

Su Congxian could only frantically wink at Su Qingsong, signaling him to persuade Lin Shi.

Su Qingsong understood, and immediately hugged Lin's arm and started crying.

"Mother, please come back with us. Our family can't live without you. Do you know how much I've missed you these past few days?"

Looking at her beloved son, Lin's heart softened, and with reddened eyes, she wiped away Su Qingsong's tears.

“My dear son, I can’t go back. There’s no place for me in the Su family anymore. If you miss me, stay in Lingge Village with me for a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said:

"Wife, I miss you too. Come home with me!"

Before Lin could speak, Granny Lin stepped in front of her, glaring at Su Congxian and cursing:

"Get out of here right now! I already told you, unless the person who hit my daughter comes to apologize in person, don't even think about letting my daughter go back!"

As she spoke, Granny Lin waved her hand, about to hit Su Congxian again. Seeing this, Su Congxian quickly retreated a few steps and ran out of the courtyard.

"Qingsong, stay here with your mother for a few days, and I'll come back to pick you and your mother up and take you home later!"

After saying that, she ran away without looking back. Su Congxian ran for a long time, and only after confirming that Granny Lin had not caught up did he breathe a long sigh of relief. He had not had much contact with the Lin family, and he never expected that his mother-in-law would be such a formidable character.

Now, he can only go back first, and then in a few days, under the pretext of picking up Su Qingsong, see if he can bring Lin Shi back with him.

Thinking this, Su Congxian walked back dejectedly. Passing by a wine shop on the street, Su Congxian felt in his pocket and found that he still had a few copper coins left, so he went in and drank a few cups of wine to relieve his boredom.

Who knew this wine would have such a strong aftereffect? ​​He didn't feel anything while drinking it, but as soon as he stepped outside and was hit by a gust of wind, he started to feel dizzy. Su Congxian finally managed to stumble home by the moonlight.

But as soon as he reached the woodpile outside the kitchen, he lay down and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Qin went out of the house to use the outhouse. She accidentally tripped over Su Congxian, who was sleeping next to the woodpile. Just as she was about to cry out, she recognized Su Congxian by the moonlight.

So Qin quickly squatted down and patted Su Congxian's face.

"Congxian, wake up! Why are you sleeping here? Get up quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

No matter how much Qin patted Su Congxian, he remained unmoved. Helpless, Qin thought of how Su Congxian had spoken up for her earlier that day, and her heart softened. She used all her strength to help Su Congxian up and led him to the third room.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Qin guessed that Su Congxian must have gone out to drown his sorrows because he had failed to bring Lin back today.

Madam Qin sighed helplessly.

"So be it, we're both just unfortunate souls."

As she spoke, Qin helped Su Congxian onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and took off his shoes and coat. Just as Qin was about to get a quilt for Su Congxian, the half-asleep Su Congxian grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.

"Wife, is that you? Have you forgiven me? Wife, it's all my fault. I made you suffer. Please forgive me."

When Su Congxian pulled her like that, Qin Shi stiffened, her face flushed, and she hurriedly tried to struggle out of Su Congxian's arms.

"Congxian, please don't do this. It's me, I'm your sister-in-law, please let me go..."

"Waaah, wife, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. Don't be afraid, wife. Our mother just wants a grandson. Let's give her a grandson, and then all her money will belong to our third branch."

As he spoke, Su Congxian reached out and began to grope for Qin Shi's sash.

Just as Qin was about to cry out in surprise, she quickly covered her mouth. If someone else entered the room at this moment and saw her lying on top of her brother-in-law, who knows what they would say about her.

Thinking this, Qin tightly gripped her belt with one hand and forcefully pushed Su Congxian away with the other.

However, Su Congxian, though drunk, was still very strong. He held onto Qin Shi tightly and refused to let go, muttering to himself:

"Wife, wife, please don't push me. I know I was wrong. I'll have your baby right now, okay?"

Give birth to a baby...

Upon hearing these three words, Qin suddenly remembered that Li Ayu had told Aunt Wu next door earlier that day that she couldn't have children, which was why Su Ye had gone outside to find Li Ayu.

This was an immense insult to Qin Shi, otherwise she wouldn't have fought so fiercely with Li Ayu in the courtyard today.

Of course, what truly chilled Qin's heart was not what Li Ayu said, but that Su Ye's instinctive reaction upon seeing the two fighting was to protect Li Ayu, and even to the point of threatening to kill her for Li Ayu's sake.

Now, hearing Su Congxian mention having children, those three words felt like a needle piercing Qin Shi's heart. If she could give birth to a son for Su Ye, would Su Ye not bring Li Ayu home?

Thinking this, Qin seemed to be possessed, ceasing her resistance and allowing the drunken Su Congxian to loosen her belt.

At this moment, Qin was more determined to repay Su Ye. No matter what, if she could really have a child with Su Congxian today, it would be a child of the Su family.

Even if Su Ye finds out about this later, he won't be able to say anything, since he was the one who first provoked those disreputable women outside and even brought them home. What I did was just an eye for an eye.
