CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 270 FOUND A JOB

Old Sir Qin was finally at ease; he had wanted to say that they should have told him about this matter.

"Granddaughter-in-law, rest assured, I will urge them to handle this well and will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Alright." Rong Yan wouldn’t refuse a strong backing.

After all, connections... are also a form of strength.

She would be a fool to act self-righteous and refuse all help.

Moreover, that Ming girl was brought in by Qin Zhen.

"Grandpa, please tell me about Ming Liping! I have no idea why she would want to harm us! After all, we have just returned and didn’t know her before, why would she make such a ruthless move. It’s lucky I study medicine, otherwise, I would have never known about this kind of thing."

Anyone else would have failed to discover it.

When Old Sir Qin first heard about this from Qin Zhen, he was furious.

After all, it was too malicious, unheard of.

However, his mood had somewhat calmed down now, fortunately, he has been through a lot in his life.

"That girl from the Ming family, called Ming Liping, should be around eighteen or nineteen this year! Her birth mother passed away early, and the mother they remarried... is about the same age as her, what’s her name...right, it seems to be Xu Ke..."

Rong Yan impolitely interrupted him, "Grandpa, did you say her stepmother’s name is Xu Ke?"

Old Sir Qin nodded, "Yes, that’s the name, why, do you know her?"

Actually, Old Sir Qin had no intention of remembering this person’s name, but given that he is old yet surprisingly has a good memory, people mentioned her several times in front of him.

Moreover, this Xu Ke had also introduced herself to him several times, and even if he didn’t want to remember, it was difficult not to.

But he didn’t have a very good impression of this person.

"I know her, an enemy." Rong Yan would not conceal this.

Upon hearing her words, Old Sir Qin was astonished, "An enemy? What kind of grudge?"

Thinking of the crucial point, Old Sir Qin did not wait for Rong Yan to reply before speaking again, "Could it be that the potted plant last night was also related to her?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The girl from the Ming family didn’t seem to be the foolish type, so why would she send a gift to harm people so openly?

"It’s likely, but I think neither of them is innocent; we need to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Granddaughter-in-law, tell me about your grudge with that Xu person, how she harmed you before." Old Sir Qin wanted to know the full story.

So Rong Yan recounted all the past grievances she had with Brother Xu in the Qin Family’s Team.

Old Sir Qin fell silent for a while, then angrily tapped his cane on the ground.

"Truly vicious."

He hadn’t expected the Ming family to marry such a person.

With such character... she should be sent to a farm for reformation.

"It might have been the Ming Family who got her out in the first place." Earlier, he had been wondering who it was!

It turns out she married into the somewhat influential Ming family.

Heh.

Old Sir Qin wanted to say he would handle this matter, but since they had arrived at the door, he swallowed his words.

"Grandpa, watch the threshold," Rong Yan reminded him.

The threshold of the courtyard gate was somewhat high.

The two entered the courtyard, and when Madam Rong saw that it was Old Sir Qin, she wanted to stand up to welcome him.

However, Old Sir Qin, seeing her movement, spoke before she could, "Mother-in-law, please don’t get up, be careful with your foot."

Madam Rong wanted to say, "What brings you here?" but felt that it might be inappropriate since Old Sir Qin was her son-in-law’s grandfather, and is it not expected for a grandfather to visit his grandson’s house whenever he wishes?

So she immediately changed her words, "Please, have a seat!" Then she said to her daughter, "Yanyan, go pour some tea."

Rong Yan replied affirmatively. Yet, before she could act, Old Sir Qin stopped her, "No need to fuss, I’m not thirsty right now."

"Alright then, let me know when you get thirsty," Rong Yan responded promptly.

Madam Rong: ...

Who mentioned her daughter was smart?

She seems rather foolish to her.

The kind with a really poor mind.

When someone says they are not thirsty, you just don’t pour?

Don’t you know there is such a thing as politeness in this world?

Her foot no longer hurt, but her chest did.

"Then let’s cut a watermelon!"

Rong Yan asked Old Sir Qin, "Grandpa, do you want some watermelon?"

Madam Rong: ...

No one was going to stop her.

She was going to knock some sense into her silly girl.

Asking others if they wanted to eat? Had her brain been stolen, or did she lose it in her sleep last night?

She felt a severe twinge in her heart.

Just as she was about to say something to make amends, she heard Old Sir Qin say he would.

His words made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aren’t you going to pick one?"

How could someone be so naively sweet?

It was maddening.

The corners of Rong Yan’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, "Sure, I’ll go right now."

She quickly picked one and washed it with the water drawn from the well.

"Meimei, bring a knife out to cut the watermelon, Grandpa’s here."

Her shout had been heard by the two people in the kitchen.

So they both came out.

"Grandpa," Qin Mei called out first, and then she handed the knife to her sister-in-law.

Old Master Qin was very fond of this granddaughter, "Ah!"

Rong Wenming said with a smile, "Old Sir, you’ve come at the right time. We’re having dumplings for lunch."

"Then I’m really in for a treat, I’ve always loved them since I was young," Old Master Qin did not refuse.

"Pork and pickled cabbage filling, I guarantee you’ll like it. Please, take a seat. Later on, we can even have a drink at lunch."

After hearing his in-laws say this, Old Sir Qin got even happier, "Okay."

Rong Wenming went back into the kitchen, and Qin Mei didn’t linger either, as she was about to head there too.

Rong Yan stopped her, "What’s the hurry? Have some watermelon before you leave."

"I’ll just take two pieces," one naturally for her uncle.

"Okay, I’ll cut it for you." Rong Yan gave the larger piece to Old Sir Qin and then cut two more pieces for Qin Mei.

Qin Mei took the two pieces of watermelon and went straight back to the kitchen.

"Mom, do you want some?" Rong Yan asked.

Madam Rong: ...

With the way you’re asking, should I eat it or not?

Rong Yan handed over the watermelon directly.

Madam Rong took it.

And shot her a glare.

If you were going to give it to me anyway, why the hell did you ask?

After finishing the watermelon, Old Master Qin remembered his grandson, "Right, where’s Qin Ye? Why haven’t I seen him?"

"I guess he’s busy with something outside," Rong Yan didn’t know where he’d gone.

They all sat in the courtyard chatting; thankfully, the sun wasn’t too strong today, a bit cloudy.

Otherwise, sitting out here would truly be unbearable.

Qin Ye returned just in time for lunch, and he was slightly surprised to see Old Sir Qin, "Grandpa!"

He came forward and called out.

"Where did you go?" Old Sir Qin also asked casually.

"I, I went to look for a job," Qin Ye’s response surprised everyone present.

Even Rong Yan was no exception.

"You went looking for a job? What kind of job?" Rong Yan thought he had gone to chase down a lead since he had left for that reason.

But without a word, he had actually found a job.

And to tell the truth, she was quite startled.
