Chapter 205 Snatching the Child

Chapter 205 Snatching the Child

"Quickly go and fetch your aunt. Then go into the city to my house and send word!" As he spoke, he took out several copper coins and gave them to Zhang Laosan.

"Aye, alright!" Zhang Laosan quickly responded.

After taking the money, he hurriedly ran off.

After Zhang Laosan left, Qin Erhu also became anxious.

Zhang's wife was already in labor, and the child could be born at any moment.

Going over now would definitely not work.

Otherwise, it would raise the suspicions of the Zhang family, making it even harder to take the child away later.

All he could do now was wait.

Wait for his father and younger brother to arrive, and then the three of them together, with their numbers, would have a better chance of taking the child away.

Of course, he couldn't just wait idly either.

If the child were born before his father arrived, he would have to go and take the child immediately.

To prevent the Zhang family from doing anything harmful to the child.

Thinking of this, Qin Erhu looked towards Zhang Laosan's wife, who was busy in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law," he said as he approached her.

"Brother Qin," Zhang Laosan's wife responded promptly and stood up.

Qin Erhu hesitated for a moment, then took out six more copper coins from his pocket.

"Could you please go to the Zhangs' and help? If the child is born, come back and tell me right away." He said, extending the copper coins.

A look of fear flashed across Zhang Laosan's wife's face.

She glanced at the copper coins Qin Erhu offered, hesitated for a moment, and then refused them.

"There's no need for money; you've already given some."

"I'll go over there right away and come back with news as soon as possible!" After saying this, she wiped her hands on her apron and walked out.

After a few steps, she told her child to listen to Qin Erhu and stay home without wandering around.

Seeing Qin Erhu pick up her son, she felt reassured and left.

Watching Zhang Laosan's wife walk away, Qin Erhu felt a surge of gratitude.

Zhang Laosan's wife was indeed a good person.

In the anxious waiting that followed,

Finally, two hours later, just before noon, Qin Dazhuang, Qin Erhu, and Qin Xiaoyao arrived.

Yes, Qin Xiaoyao had also come.

Today, Qin Xiaoyao had only delivered three baskets of bean sprouts to Lai Fu Restaurant and Fu House.

Afterwards, she went to West Market to find her father to see if she could help.

That's when she encountered Zhang Laosan.

So, she came along with him.

Seeing his father, younger brother, and youngest sister arrive, Qin Erhu felt relieved.

"How is it going now?" Qin Dazhuang asked anxiously.

Even though he had divorced Zhang's wife, it was still his child, so how could he not be worried?

Qin Erhu and Qin Xiaoyao also looked at Qin Dazhuang.

"She's still in labor," Qin Erhu replied.

Noticing Zhang Laosan looking over, Qin Erhu added, "I sent Sister-in-law to help too."

"She just came back and said it should be soon."

Zhang Laosan nodded, feeling reassured.

As they were talking, a baby's cry suddenly came from next door.

Qin Xiaoyao, with her keen hearing, heard it first.

Before she could confirm it, she heard her father excitedly say, "It's born!"

Qin Erhu and Qin Erhu quickly heard the sound too, their faces lighting up with joy.

"Waste no time, Father, let's go get the child!" Qin Xiaoyao quickly said, putting aside her smile.

"Yes!" Qin Dazhuang didn't hesitate and quickly agreed.

Immediately, the four of them left Zhang Laosan's house.

They then tried to avoid the villagers and made their way to the main road.

Then they hurriedly went to the Zhangs'.

At this moment, in the Zhang family courtyard.

The two elderly members of the Zhang family, Zhang Dashui's household, and Zhang Ershui were all present.

Seeing the Qin family arrive, everyone was astonished.

"Brother-in-law—" Zhang Ershui called out to Qin Dazhuang first.

His eyes were filled with warmth when he looked at Qin Dazhuang.

How could he not be warm? This man was his cash cow.

It was because of this brother-in-law that he had lived so comfortably before.

If it weren't for his sister offending her husband and being sent back home, how could he have had his hand broken by the gambling den?

How could he have suffered so much these past few days?

The other members of the Zhang family also showed joy upon seeing Qin Dazhuang.

They thought he must have come to see Zhang Shi.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhang Ershui's voice, Qin Dazhuang's face darkened.

"Who is your brother-in-law?!" he said angrily.

Then, without even looking at the Zhang family, he gave a nod to his two sons.

Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu immediately acted, heading straight for the room where Zhang Shi lived.

The Zhang family finally realized something was wrong and rushed forward to stop them.

"What are you doing?! You can't just barge into a woman's birthing room! How unlucky!"

"Yeah, can't you talk things out properly?!"

Old Lady Zhang, along with Zhang Dashui's wife, spread their arms to block Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu.

Their tone was still polite, hoping that Qin Dazhuang would reconcile with Zhang Shi.

Before, they had been worried that the Qin family might really abandon Zhang Shi.

After all, it had been so long since the Qin family had asked about Zhang Shi's situation.

But now things were different; the Qin family had come on their own.

And Zhang Shi had just given birth to a boy.

For the sake of the child, Qin Dazhuang might take Zhang Shi back.

"Get out of the way—" Qin Dahu spat out.

Qin Erhu directly reached out and pushed Old Lady Zhang aside by her arm.

Seeing this, Qin Dahu didn't hesitate either and shoved Zhang Dashui's wife aside, barging into Zhang Shi's room.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the Zhang family changed.

"Oh no, they're attacking us! The Qin family is attacking us!" Zhang Dashui's wife sat down on the ground and started wailing.

"Men barging into a stepmother's room! The Qin family has gone mad!" Old Lady Zhang joined in the wailing.

"There's no justice! Come and see! Neighbors, come and judge!"

"The Qin family is bullying us!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Dashui and Old Man Zhang, emboldened, fetched hoes from the side.

They seemed ready to fight Qin Dazhuang to the death.

"Qin Dazhuang, you've gone too far!" Zhang Dashui aimed the hoe directly at Qin Dazhuang.

By now, he knew clearly that Qin Dazhuang wasn't here to take his sister back but to snatch the child.

Although he didn't know how they found out his sister had given birth today, he wouldn't allow the Qin family to take the child away!

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

Before his father could speak, he stepped forward, shielding his father behind him.

Without any words, he quickly disarmed Zhang Dashui and Old Man Zhang of their hoes.

Then, he kicked Zhang Dashui to the ground and stepped on him.

Zhang Dashui grimaced in pain and cursed.

Hearing Zhang Dashui curse at him, Qin Xiaoyao stomped harder.

Zhang Dashui spat out blood.
