Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 27: The Crime of Gender

Old Chen’s in trouble! This really startled everyone in the courtyard. Mr. Qin rushed out like the wind towards the threshing floor.

Although Mr. Qin valued his face more than Old Chen, after all, they had been husband and wife for most of their lives.

Just like Mr. Qin once said, they’ve weathered storms together for decades, there’s definitely love there. Otherwise, he could’ve easily divorced the troublesome Old Chen with just one word previously. In that situation, no one would have said Mr. Qin was heartless, but he didn’t do that!

It shows that Old Chen is still important to him. It’s just that many times a man cares more about saving face in front of others than his own feelings.

Now, suddenly hearing about Old Chen’s accident, Mr. Qin was naturally anxious. As soon as he left, the rest of the people followed him out in a rush, adults and children all swarming towards Old Chen’s rice pounding threshing floor.

With this happening, Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai, who planned to visit Aunt Hao, had to follow to see what was wrong with Old Chen. Moreover, Qin Shuangshuang was somewhat curious about what happened to Old Chen, so she dragged Mrs. Bai to follow behind the crowd.

A large group of people gathered on the threshing floor, whispering to each other. When they saw Mr. Qin and his group arriving, they quickly scattered, revealing Old Chen lying on several grain bags laid side by side.

Old Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, lying motionless, like she was dead from a distance!

Mr. Qin, seeing Old Chen like this, felt his head buzzing, almost dizzy, and his body swayed as if he was about to sit on the ground. Mr. Qin hurriedly supported him!

Mr. Qin steadied himself, pushed away Mr. Qin’s hand, and quickened his pace to Old Chen’s side, trembling as he checked her breathing!

Mr. Qin, Qin Laoer, Qin the Third, plus Little Chen, Mrs. Fang, and a group of children also rushed over, squeezing the originally watching villagers far away.

Warm air evenly blew on his fingers. Mr. Qin let out a sigh of relief and collapsed weakly on the ground. Fortunately, she was still breathing.

"Old man, don’t worry. Your old lady has no major issues, she just fainted from exhaustion. Just take her back to rest!"

After Mr. Qin confirmed Old Chen was okay, the villagers present began to explain the situation to him belatedly.

Only then did Mr. Qin completely relax. With Mr. Qin’s support, he stood up and said to Qin Laoer, "Second son, quickly carry your mother home so she can rest!"

Qin Laoer hesitated. A few days ago, when he hit Mrs. Bai and was grabbed by Qin Shuangshuang, he got bruised. His side was still faintly aching, and he didn’t dare use strength, but he didn’t dare contradict Mr. Qin’s words, so he reluctantly squatted down and carried Old Chen on his back!

Once he stood up with Old Chen on his back, his side throbbed sharply due to the sudden strain, causing Qin Laoer’s face to change and he accidentally dropped Old Chen to the ground!

It was coincidental that Old Chen fell sideways from Qin Laoer’s back, and someone had left a rake on the ground, causing Old Chen’s head to bump right into it!

Old Chen was quite lucky, narrowly avoiding hitting the rake’s teeth, preventing a bloody incident, but still getting a visibly large bump on her forehead!

The originally unconscious Old Chen was startled awake by the bump, clutching her forehead and wailing in pain as she staggered around. Once slightly relieved, she ran towards Qin Laoer, raising her palm to smack him head-on.

Old Chen, despite her age, was still strong from work, and she beat Qin Laoer into holding his head.

While hitting, Old Chen cursed Qin Laoer, "Ungrateful bastard! You’re venting your anger on me for your wife and kids! You deliberately threw me on the rake, trying to kill me! Today I’ll beat you, you unfilial beast!

Big beast begets little beasts! I should never have given birth to you, only to let you harm me! Marrying a wife and forgetting your mother, it’s clear you resent me! All for a worthless brat..."

Old Chen spat more and more viciously, the foul words all pouring out, clearly also cursing Qin Shuangshuang!

Her words were so filthy that even the sharpest women found it unbearable, feeling ashamed and uncomfortable just hearing them. Normal people couldn’t utter such things at all.

At the same time, Old Chen’s cursing made the villagers, who originally felt some sympathy for her fainting from exhaustion, uncomfortable. They initially thought Old Chen was so honest accepting punishment, fainting from work out of remorse for almost hacking her granddaughter, only to realize it wasn’t like that at all!

Especially seeing Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai’s mother-daughter duo arriving later, standing there pale and pitiful, many felt even more heartache and thus more dislike for Old Chen!

"Pfft!"

A young woman couldn’t help but laugh at this farce, "This old lady is quite amusing. She was clearly exhausted and fainted, so how come she’s so lively upon waking, not at all like someone who fainted from exhaustion?

If I were exhausted at my young age, I couldn’t even move. How come someone older fainted yet woke up so sprightly?

And as soon as she woke up, she directly rushed at the one who dropped her without mistaking. Does this old lady have special abilities to hear the surroundings even while fainting?"

At her words, Old Chen’s movement paused, and her face flushed. The young woman’s sarcasm hit the mark. She hadn’t really fainted from exhaustion!

To put it plainly, Old Chen, unused to labor due to years of pampering, couldn’t cope with the hard work of pounding rice and wanted to feign fainting to dodge, ideally making the village chief lessen her punishment, or at least reduce it for a period!

Old Chen calculated that with the punishment added by Mrs. Wang later, she had to pound rice for nine months altogether. Just thinking about it made her feel like the sky was dark and the future hopeless!

After much deliberation, she thought of this feigned fainting plan, only to be dropped by the useless Qin Laoer. In a moment of anger, she forgot to cover it up, revealing her act to avoid the punishment!

"Old Chen, you’re really clever, pretending to faint. Even if you actually did faint, you can’t escape this punishment!" An obviously angry voice sounded from behind Old Chen, scaring her to shiver!
