Chapter 65: Serves Him Right – The Daily Drama of a Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound
by 苓菱子Chapter 65: Serves Him Right - The Daily Drama of a Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound
As Mother Su shouted, Qin Xianglian rushed out of the room.
Seeing this, Zhou Qin was at a loss for words. The person he had been calling for finally appeared, but only after he had retaliated slightly for being bitten. If others knew his thoughts, they'd probably scoff: a slight retaliation? As an adult, slapping a child—do you not realize how hard that was?
"Brother Nan, doesn't this scene feel familiar?" Lin Qing poked the man beside her.
Cen Xi remained silent.
"If it feels any more familiar, where's Uncle Zhou? He should've shown up by now!" Cen Xi teased softly.
Lin Qing glanced around, "I don't see Uncle Zhou, only the dutiful Mother Li, the compound manager!" Her tone was full of sympathy for Mother Li!
Zhou Qin was once again surrounded by the Su family women.
This time, there was no Uncle Zhou to save him—only Mother Li shouting nonstop from the sidelines!
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, let's talk this out!"
Mother Li didn't know what was going on with her lately?
The compound was always full of people fighting. Although she had heard about last night's events from others, she didn't want to relive it today!
From the Su family kids rushing out to the women under the tree ganging up on Zhou Qin, everything happened too fast. Before she could react, they were already fighting!
A clear-headed Zhou Qin wasn't someone the Su women could handle. Zhou Qin was glad to have Sister Lian come out this way, but when her hands grabbed him, causing a bit of pain, he felt a twinge of disappointment.
But Zhou Qin didn't want to hurt his Sister Lian, so he kept dodging. However, with Qin Xianglian and Mother Su helping, Zhou Qin was scratched multiple times, adding to last night's injuries.
"Sister Lian, I didn't mean it—I really want to be with you. How could I actually hit them? They bit me, that's why I did it! Listen to me!" Zhou Qin dodged and explained.
Unfortunately, Qin Xianglian didn't listen at all.
Su Dazhuang, knocked to the ground, and Su Erzhuang, freed from restraint, after seeing their mother and grandmother rush to fight, hesitated for a moment before joining the battle!
Everyone watching Zhou Qin surrounded by the Su family couldn't help but pity him. He had given so much to the Su family, only to get this in return—it wasn't worth it.
Finally, Zhou Qin didn't want to be beaten anymore, so he grabbed Qin Xianglian with one hand, shoved Mother Su aside, and dodged Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang.
Qin Xianglian struggled fiercely in his arms, "Zhou Qin, let me go, let me go!"
But as she struggled, Zhou Qin's mind began to wander. The soft, fragrant Sister Lian was in his arms, and a look of pleasure crossed his face!
"Sister Lian, just agree to be with me!" Zhou Qin still hadn't forgotten his original goal!
"..."
Everyone was at a loss for words!
He totally had it coming!
Their sympathy was truly not worth it!
Mother Li watched it all unfold, exhausted—her heart weary, her voice hoarse from shouting. Whatever, as long as no one was killed, if someone was injured, then to the hospital, whoever did it would be responsible!
"Sister Lian, tell them to stop, okay? When we get married, they will be my family too, I will treat them sincerely!" Zhou Qin still had the thought of marrying Qin Xianglian in his heart.
Lin Qing: "...He's really... uh... unwavering in his love!"
Cen Xi: "...You might as well just call him a stubborn fool." He thought these two words suited him better!
"..."
The crowd gathered both inside and outside the courtyard were all watching under the eaves, giving the group the center of the courtyard to avoid hindering their performance.
At this moment, everyone could see Zhou Qin holding Qin Xianglian with one hand, spinning around the courtyard, while Mother Su, Su Dazhuang, and Su Erzhuang were chasing them all over the place. Qin Xianglian was thrashing in Zhou Qin's arms.
Oh no, there was also Mother Jiang adding fuel to the fire from the sidelines, "Zhou Qin, you're really foolish. You've given the Su family so much money over the years, enough for several dowries! You could have married Qin Xianglian many times over! Even if you take Qin Xianglian home now, the Su family shouldn't dare to say a word unless they return all that money to you!"
Zhou Qin, darting around the courtyard, immediately brightened up after hearing this, "Sister Lian..."
Before he could speak, Mother Su's voice drowned him out. Mother Su stood still and scolded Mother Jiang angrily, "You old busybody, what's it to you? Why do you meddle so much? Our family's affairs are none of your business!"
"I don't care about you, I'm not meddling in your affairs, I'm just speaking fairness. Can't people speak fairness anymore?" Mother Jiang had one hand injured, but it didn't hinder her performance at all. She stood with one hand on her hip and retorted to Mother Su.
"You..." Mother Su was momentarily speechless!
"What are you even saying? Did I say anything wrong? Didn't your family take his money? I don't care about you! Your family is shameless! You've taken so much from him, yet you don't think of giving anything in return. How can there be such a good deal?
I say, your family should give Qin Xianglian to Zhou Qin as compensation!" Mother Jiang's outburst made her feel she was absolutely right.
In fact, many people thought Mother Jiang was not wrong. It was indeed the Su family who took advantage, and Zhou Qin's monthly salary mostly ended up in their pockets, which was something they couldn't refute.
"Sister Lian, please agree to be with me!" Zhou Qin pleaded loudly.
Qin Xianglian's face turned red from thrashing in his arms!
"Zhou Qin, let me go, please."
"I won't, you agree first!"
"Let go." Qin Xianglian felt utterly disgusted. Zhou Qin's clammy sweat seemed to cling to her, and when she turned her head to see his moon face, she felt nauseous.
She yelled in anger, "Let go—I will never, ever marry you!" Her voice carried unprecedented determination.
Zhou Qin was startled by her tone and stopped, "Sister Lian, you're joking, right?"
"Zhou Qin, stop messing around, okay? It's impossible for us to be together, absolutely impossible." Qin Xianglian remembered that their family couldn't afford to lose this doormat, so her tone softened slightly, "Zhou Qin, we're not suitable. Mr. Zhou would never agree to us being together. You really deserve someone better," she pleaded pitifully, "Don't waste your time chasing me, okay?"
