Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 167 - 161 What is the Truth?_3
Chapter 167: Chapter 161 What is the Truth?_3
He thrust the money directly into the team leader’s hand.
Captain Qin held the scorching money... and eventually did not push it back.
"My father knows about this matter, I’ll have him talk to you."
"Alright," Mr. Qin nodded with a smile.
Captain Qin entered the house, and after a while, he came out, "Come on in!"
Mr. Qin and Qin Ye exchanged glances before walking into the room.
The room was heated by a kang, on which sat the team leader’s very old but still lucid father.
Upon seeing him, Mr. Qin handed over another pack of cigarettes.
Qin Ye:...
However, Mr. Qin’s act of offering the cigarettes still pleased the team leader’s father.
"Old sir, hello, I’m from Jing City, Qin Ye’s cousin, I would like to ask about my grandmother’s arrival here back in the day, could you please tell me what you know?"
The team leader’s father glanced at him, then at Qin Ye.
"Originally, I shouldn’t speak of this, back then... Qin Shengshi brought back someone, she couldn’t remember anything, nowhere to settle, she had to live in Qin Shengshi’s house... as his wife."
At this point, he paused, "When his wife arrived, she was already two months pregnant, it was my wife who went to see her, because at that time the child was nearly lost, but it was requested that this pregnancy be kept secret."
"Actually, Qin Ye’s grandmother never became Qin Shengshi’s wife, her health was always poor, but she was really smart. When my wife was treating her, she gave her a locked wooden chest to keep for her until her son was grown up and then to pass it to him."
Luckily, his wife wasn’t greedy, otherwise, that chest of belongings might have ended up as theirs.
This was a secret his wife kept from the whole family, he only found out about it later.
Mr. Qin sighed with relief upon hearing this.
It was good that they hadn’t truly become husband and wife.
Although, even if they had truly become spouses back then, it could not be helped and couldn’t be too harshly judged, but now things were better this way.
At least not unfairly troubling the old man.
"Alright, I understand now, thank you!" the one hundred yuan was well-spent.
"No need," the team leader’s father glared at his son, "Aren’t you going to return the money to them?"
Captain Qin:...
Mr. Qin quickly said, "No need, this is a thank you gift! Thanks for preserving my grandmother’s belongings back then."
Eventually, he didn’t take it and left the captain’s home with Qin Ye.
On the way, Mr. Qin was somewhat silent.
After walking nearly half the distance, he finally spoke, "Qin Ye, since your grandmother had nothing to do with the Qin family back then, I want to restore her reputation. That way, when relocating her grave later, there will be a justification. We definitely need to move her grave back. I think she’s also looking forward to going home."
"How should we do it?" Qin Ye asked.
Since it had nothing to do with the Old Qin Family, he didn’t want his grandmother to carry the name of an Old Qin family daughter-in-law.
"Leave it to me," Mr. Qin said.
Seeing this, Qin Ye nodded.
At that moment, Luo Cheng just happened to come by, and Mr. Qin immediately said to Qin Ye, "Qin Ye, you go home first, we’ll catch up later, I’m going to walk around the village now with Luo Cheng."
Qin Ye had no objections, he simply left.
After watching Qin Ye leave, Mr. Qin looked towards Luo Cheng who was approaching, "How did it go? Did you find out anything?"
Luo Cheng had just toured the village, and he actually uncovered quite a bit.
Including the whole village having a bad impression of Qin Ye’s family, it seemed like the villagers regarded Qin Ye and his siblings as harbingers of misfortune.
Mr. Qin was furious. Originally, seeing the courtyard where Qin Ye now lived, he thought Qin Ye’s current life was decent.
Only suffering a bit in his youth.
But he didn’t expect that their suffering wasn’t the bit he thought, but rather quite tragic, with the siblings nearly starving to death.
Being ostracized and unwelcomed by the entire village, what kind of feeling was that?
It was unimaginable.
No wonder his elder aunt had chosen to stay silent and live in Qin Shengshi’s home, it was all for the child in her belly to survive.
These rumors could kill a person.
Eyes chilling, "Let’s go to Qin Shengshi’s home."
Luo Cheng immediately nodded.
As for where Qin Shengshi lived, Luo Cheng had just found out, being an exceptionally skilled scout, even after being discharged, his scouting abilities remained.
This was also the reason these cousins had come out together.
The two arrived at the front door of Qin Shengshi’s home.
Qin Fugui came out just in time, and seeing the two dressed well, his expression instantly faltered.
"...Who are you looking for?" his voice slightly less assertive.
"I’m looking for Qin Shengshi, is he home?" Mr. Qin looked at him, expression neutral, recognizing by his demeanor that this was Qin Shengshi’s younger son, known for often bullying those siblings.
"You’re looking for my father? He, he’s at home." Qin Fugui turned his head and yelled, "Dad! Someone’s looking for you."
Mr. Qin:...
What is this even.
Luo Cheng remained expressionless.
Regardless of Qin Fugui’s expression, they pushed past Qin Fugui and entered.
Seeing their assertive approach, Qin Fugui’s heart skipped a beat.
This... feels like they’re here to cause trouble?
But given the intimidating gaze and aura from the two, he just cowered, not daring to make a sound.
