Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 16: The Crime of Gender

"Second Young Mistress—"

"My daughter!"

This woman’s shout was all too familiar to Qin Shuangshuang; it was her mother, Mrs. Bai’s voice! Mrs. Bai was back!

Mrs. Bai had originally been sent back by Mr. Qin to prepare lunch for the family, but little did she know that upon returning, she would find her daughter covered in blood, instantly causing her to scream in fright!

Along with Mrs. Bai’s cries, there was the village chief’s angry rebuke: "Old Chen! What are you doing? Holding a knife to your own granddaughter? I see you’ve truly become malicious, thinking we elders are dead? We of the Qin Clan cannot tolerate a malicious woman like you. I will open the ancestral hall and expel you from our clan!"

Most of the people in the village bore the surname Qin, with several generations tracing back to a common ancestor. The village chief was not only the village head but also the Clan Leader of the Qin Clan, and as Clan Leader, he had the authority to punish any erring clansmember.

Hearing the village chief’s scolding, Old Chen felt a deep sense of helplessness, like a vast tide of defeat, as the cleaver in her hand clanged to the ground. Qin Sheng, who had been wary of Old Chen’s potential for violence, quickly picked it up and moved it far away, preventing Old Chen from suddenly going mad and hacking people with it!

Aunt Hao hurried a few steps, reaching Qin Shuangshuang alongside Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai immediately went to embrace Qin Shuangshuang, while Aunt Hao stood protectively in front of Qin Shuangshuang, glaring at Old Chen.

She couldn’t help but curse bitterly: "In all my years, I’ve never seen a woman as cruel as you! I’ve seen too much of this world’s favoritism towards men over women, but to despise a girl so much as to want to hack your own granddaughter to death makes you the first! Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs! You’re worse than a beast!"

Old Chen looked around at the suddenly gathered crowd in the courtyard with her muddled eyes. All these people were staring at her with eyes of condemnation and disdain, including Qin Shuangshuang who was shielded behind Aunt Hao. Old Chen instantly slumped to the ground!

With Old Chen deflated and quiet, Qin Shuangshuang, who had been filling with glee over the thought that she might finally free herself from the Qin Family, snapped back to reality upon hearing her mother’s grief-stricken and incredulous cries, and thus finally began to feel genuine regret!

She had been so focused on scheming against Old Chen, completely disregarding her own body’s miserable state, not considering how her mother, who loved her dearly and cherished her life, could bear such a blow!

Regret and guilt surged over her like a tide, washing away the terror on Qin Shuangshuang’s face, leaving behind a pale and expressionless void!

At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang lost any desire to continue acting before the village chief. She didn’t even dare to look at Mrs. Bai’s face, afraid to see expressions that would deepen her regret, more afraid to witness Mrs. Bai’s breakdown!

Soon, Mrs. Bai reached Qin Shuangshuang’s side, bringing her into her arms with trembling hands, looking at the wound on Qin Shuangshuang’s neck, her hands shaken, not daring to touch it!

Soon, Qin Shuangshuang felt drops of hot tears falling onto her face. The warmth touching her face sank directly into her heart, filling her with anxiety!

Qin Shuangshuang nervously and fearfully closed her eyes, pretending to have fainted, not daring to see Mrs. Bai’s expression!

Seeing her daughter covered in blood, Mrs. Bai, who had always been continuously enduring without ever feeling dissatisfied, suddenly felt an overwhelming hatred rising in her heart! No matter how Old Chen and the Qin Family tormented her, Mrs. Bai could endure, could disregard it!

But Qin Shuangshuang was her flesh and blood, her life! That little girl, who, at such a young age, knew how to protect and take care of her mother! Such a good daughter! She couldn’t imagine what her life would be like without her daughter!

Looking up at the worried faces of the village chief, Aunt Hao, Qin Sheng, and the other villagers who had always helped their family in the past, Mrs. Bai knelt down directly.

The nearby village chief and Aunt Hao hurriedly reached out to support Mrs. Bai, but she refused to get up. She kowtowed earnestly, choking with sobs as she pleaded, "Village Chief, Aunt Hao, I know you are good people. I beg you, please help my daughter to see a doctor!

I have no money, I beg you to kindly help me out. I can work to repay it. My Second Young Mistress also has abilities, she can earn money herself to repay you as well. We won’t let you give money in vain, I beg you, please call a doctor to save my daughter, I’m begging you..."

Mrs. Bai humbly crawled in the dust, begging desperately just to save her daughter’s life! For a moment, all the onlookers couldn’t help but feel a pang at the bridge of their noses, overwhelmed by such motherly love. How should it be repaid? freeweɓnovel.cøm

Let alone the folks who already liked Mrs. Bai’s character and Qin Shuangshuang’s sensibility, even the villagers who gradually gathered outside to watch the commotion couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Bai was gentle and accommodating, never quarreling with the villagers, able to tolerate all types of people, often referred to as a sticky rice dumpling person, but actually, no one disliked her!

And Qin Shuangshuang was also very amiable. Among the villagers, no household hadn’t received her help. Naturally, the mother and daughter pair were popular.

Their popularity made people despise Old Chen, who had grievously wounded Qin Shuangshuang into such a critical state! Those villagers, already inclined to gossip, could no longer hold back their criticisms of Old Chen.

Old Chen hung her head low, sitting quietly on the ground, allowing the crowd to criticize her. At this moment, she somewhat regained her senses, realizing that anything she said would be wrong, simply taking the approach of a dead pig not fearing scalding water, letting them reprimand as they wished.

Old Chen planned to wait until Mr. Qin and her son and daughter-in-law returned from the fields before addressing anything. Old Chen had confidence that her family would take her side. By then, with the whole family backing her, even the village chief couldn’t really bypass the Qin Family to handle her!

Regardless of the crowd’s criticisms or Old Chen’s attitude, Mrs. Bai no longer cared. Her mind was entirely focused on saving her daughter!

"Sister, be strong, Second Young Mistress, such a good child, will be fine. I’ve already asked my Little Yuanzi to call the doctor, the doctor will arrive soon. Sister, please get up, let’s carry Second Young Mistress inside. We can’t let her stay outside like this for too long; the air is so dirty, and there’s still a wound on Second Young Mistress’s neck!"

Aunt Hao comfortingly held Mrs. Bai, softly persuading her. Little Yuanzi was Aunt Hao’s son, Qin Yuan. Though referred to as Little Yuanzi by Aunt Hao, he was actually a grown man, smart and clever, reliable in handling matters!

Mrs. Bai thanked Aunt Hao with tears, struggling to hold Qin Shuangshuang. Mrs. Bai was somewhat exhausted from the shock, having difficulty standing with Qin Shuangshuang in her arms. Aunt Hao put in a hand to help, assisting to lift Qin Shuangshuang up!

"What’s going on? What happened again?"
