Chapter 137 The conspiracy behind the scenes
In the evening, Qin Zhengde's son Qin Huaihai came to the Qin family with a dozen clansmen.
As soon as he entered the room, he took out five taels of silver and said that each family in the clan had pooled some money to give Dalang some money for his trip to the examination next year.
Those who show kindness to others for no reason are either treacherous or thieves, and Old Lady Qin did not treat them well.
"No reward without merit, my Qin family is not worthy of this silver. No matter what your plan is, you are not welcome here." Upon hearing this, Old Lady Qin showed no joy at all and was ready to drive them away angrily.
Qin Huaihai's eyes wandered around Banxia and Xundong, but he shamelessly stayed away.
"Third Aunt, that's not what I meant. You can't write two Qin characters with one stroke. Our two families are related after all, and Dalang's affairs are a big deal for the clan. If Dalang doesn't have the support of the family, his career in the future will not be so easy. We are doing this for Dalang's own good, why don't you appreciate it, Third Aunt?"
"Come to think of it, why do your eldest, second and eldest daughter still call me uncle? We are family, so we should not talk behind each other's backs. Those little grudges in the past have been over for so many years. Why do you have to bear a grudge against them? You should take a long-term view."
"My uncles and aunts from the clan came here today, not only to give Dalang money for his trip, but also to tell him something. The old clan leader agreed to let your Qin family be included in the family tree again for the sake of your late uncle. The ancestral hall will be opened soon, and you will be included in the family tree again. Aunt San, this is a great thing, you must think twice!"
Qin Huaihai took a step forward with a somewhat arrogant look on his face, waiting for Old Lady Qin and others to express their gratitude.
The tribesmen who came with them looked at the horses in the stable and two oxen eating grass, with greed in their eyes.
Before I came here, the old patriarch said that when the Qin family is included back in the family tree, all these things will belong to the clan.
So what if the Qin family has some money? Even if this thing doesn't work out today, they still have a backup plan.
No matter how powerful the Qin family is, can they suppress the powerful? The old patriarch has the support of the powerful behind him.
"Do you think I would care about re-entering the family tree? Your Qin family and our Qin family have been worshipping our own ancestors since we established our own family. When your old man led people to occupy my house and land, why didn't he say that he couldn't write two Qin characters with one stroke?"
"Are you jealous of my Qin family's prosperity? Are you qualified to intervene in my Qin family's affairs? And you're even supporting them? How dare you do that! Get out of here!"
Old Mrs. Qin raised the broom and waved it wildly at Qin Huaihai and his group.
Qin Huaihai's face turned ugly, and he and his tribesmen hid everywhere with their heads in their hands.
Qin Ziyan and Qin Zimu, brother and sister, also picked up wooden sticks and pointed at the people in front of them, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
"Xie, don't be shameless. We put you back on the family tree because we think highly of you. You are just a woman, do you really think that our Qin family can't do anything to you?"
Qin Huaihai had lost his patience and stopped acting. He sneered at Old Lady Qin.
During the time that the Qin family went to Taihe County, a nobleman from the capital came to see Qin Zhengde.
It was not until then that he realized that Qin Ruo and her family went to Taihe County not to do any business.
Not only did he open a big restaurant in the city, he even bought a house with two courtyards and hired a lot of servants. He lived a wealthy life.
The other party came straight to the point and asked them to monitor the Qin family's every move and do their best to prevent Qin Ziyan from participating in next year's college entrance examination.
After the matter was accomplished, the man promised not only to give Qin Zhengde a generous reward, but also that all the properties under Qin Ruo's name would belong to Qin Zhengde's lineage.
As for Qin Zhengde's previous plan to betroth Qin Ruo to his daughter-in-law and nephew, the other party would not only not stop him, but would also lend him a helping hand.
The person from the capital who came to facilitate this matter should arrive in Changhe Village tomorrow.
Qin Zhengde and his clansmen are determined to obtain the Qin family's assets.
The nobleman said that Qin Ruo was just lucky to make a small fortune, and that she had no power or influence, so there was no need to worry about her counterattack.
After Qin Zhengde's clan discussed it, in order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, they waited for the arrival of a noble person before taking action.
The reason why I came here today to propose reinserting the family tree is to put pressure on the Qin family first, hoping to control the Qin family step by step.
The highlight will be when the noble person arrives.
Qin Huaihai also didn't know how the Qin family had offended the nobles in the capital and was thus targeted.
He didn't care what the other party's purpose was. The Qin family was just looking for money.
So after the man laid out the conditions, the Qin family, represented by Qin Zhengde, agreed immediately.
The reason why Qin Huaihai was so confident was simply that he felt that this matter was a sure thing.
As soon as he arrived at the Qin family, he kept his eyes on Xundong and Banxia, and naturally he had his eyes on these two maids.
What he was thinking in his mind was that after getting Qin Ruo's property, he would take the two maids as his concubines, and it would be time for him to enjoy the life of a rich man.
While Qin Huaihai was dodging, he did not forget to stare at Xundong and Banxia with lustful eyes.
That aggressive look made Xundong and Banxia frown.
They knew very well what that naked look meant.
"We are all family, so we should talk things over nicely. Auntie, Huaihai is right. Dalang will pursue a career in government, and it will be hard for him to walk that path without a family to back him up. Our Qin family is hoping that he can pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family."
Some of the tribesmen who came with him came out with a smile to smooth things over.
The person who was speaking had a smile on his face and said nice things, but his eyes were full of disdain.
In his opinion, the Qin family has never seen the world. Once the noble person arrives, what will the Qin family be?
"Banxia, kick that guy out!" Qin Ruo had had enough of the show.
Thinking of what the village head Qin Huaisheng told her quietly after the Zhou family left yesterday, her eyes turned cold.
"Okay, Master. I will teach these shameless and blind people a lesson for you."
Banxia responded, pulled out a wooden stick from the corner of the yard, and walked towards Qin Huaihai and his group.
During this period, Banxia received guidance from Qin Ruo and Song Shiqi, and her skills became much more flexible.
Dealing with these dozen villagers who have no weapons at all is no problem at all.
Soon the Qin family's yard was filled with people lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
Qin Huaihai suffered a great loss, his face was distorted, he uttered a few harsh words and left in embarrassment with his people.
He secretly swore in his heart that when the noble man came, he would make the Qin family live a life worse than death.
"Ruo'er, I think Qin Huaihai has bad intentions today. I don't know what tricks Qin Zhengde, the old beast, is up to. It's hard to guard against villains. Why don't we go back to Taihe County and hide there first? Once we figure out their purpose, we can find a way to deal with them."
Old Mrs. Qin's eyelids were twitching, and she had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Although I know that Qin Ruo is very capable, I am afraid that it is difficult to guard against a hidden attack.
