CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 321 PART 2

Qin Zhen didn’t want to see Qin Ye, because he knew that man was unreasonable.

So, he turned his attention to Rong Yan, since this cousin-in-law was comparatively more logical.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"I’ll go along with whatever Qin Ye decides." Rong Yan pushed aside the matter decisively.

Since Qin Ye didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t do anything to contradict his decision.

Besides, she really couldn’t be bothered to move around.

"Let’s wait until the weather cools down, then I’ll take Meimei to have dinner with Grandpa."

Having said all this, what could Qin Zhen do?

"Alright then! I’ll mention it to the old man later... If he wants to come over here for dinner in the evening, that’s possible, right?"

Qin Ye: "...Yes."

Qin Zhen silently congratulated himself on his cleverness, thinking that he was smart to come up with such a solution.

"Do you have anything else?" Qin Ye wanted to send him away.

Qin Zhen pretended not to notice the suggestion in his words.

He looked at Rong Yan, "Sister-in-law, about your fuss at the Li Family the night before yesterday, I heard about it... you’re truly formidable."

He had quite an impression of the Li Family because the girl from their family seemed really fond of Ming Xi from the Ming Family.

She often visited their area to play.

The most noteworthy was her protective older brother, who was exceptionally rare in his devotion.

He had never seen someone so unwavering in defending his sister... as long as there was a conflict involving his sister, it was always someone else’s fault.

That girl from the Li Family was particularly prone to stirring up trouble because she liked to meddle in others’ affairs.

What struck him most was that night just before he was about to get engaged after a successful matchmaking appointment with his future wife, Li Juan actually came up to him to interrogate him... asking why he wouldn’t marry Ming Liping?

Why would he hurt Ming Liping?

Why...

A whole bunch of damn whys... If his self-restraint hadn’t been so good, he would have berated her long ago. Who he got engaged to or whom he married... had nothing to do with her.

Her meddling had even extended to his affairs.

Although he didn’t hold a grudge against this woman, he still taught her three brothers a lesson.

Qin Ye was puzzled, "What happened?"

He had arrived late the previous night and got up early that morning, so the two of them hadn’t had much interaction.

Of course, he was unaware of the recent events.

"You don’t know? Let me tell you..." Qin Zhen was excited to share the news.

Qin Ye’s expression wasn’t too pleased as he listened.

It seemed that a lot had happened here while he was away.

Rong Yan, seeing Qin Zhen getting carried away with his story, couldn’t help but roll her eyes, calling out his full name, "Qin Zhen, are you that idle?"

How could a grown man be so gossipy?

Qin Zhen chuckled, "It’s not that I’m the one spreading it, but this news has spread throughout the area, it’s hard not to hear. Sister-in-law, you were really something."

With one move, she had taken down those three brothers.

If he remembered correctly, those three had been notorious in the area for getting into fights, relying on their physical strength to bully others.

They were quite infamous around here.

"It was them who provoked me, or else who wouldn’t want to be a quiet beauty? Enough now, you can go."

Seeing how things were going, Qin Zhen figured that Qin Ye would probably ask for details later.

Sigh.

"Alright, then I’ll be leaving." Qin Zhen didn’t want to be an eyesore for the couple any longer, but after just a couple of steps, he turned back, "Sister-in-law, if someone troubles you again, you should still come to find us! Don’t treat us like we’re just for show, give us a chance to play our part."

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, "Do you even know how to fight?"

Qin Zhen: "...I can’t, but just because I can’t fight, does that mean there’s no one else in our family who can?"

The clothes he wore meant he couldn’t be involved in that sort of thing, but that didn’t mean he had no other means.

After all, this was also a way of punishing the wicked and promoting the good.

"I can handle it myself. Now hurry up and go!" Rong Yan shooed him away again.

This person just talks way too much.

She found that men who spoke less like Qin Ye were somewhat more appealing.

Chatterboxes... uncomfortable.

Qin Zhen: ...

Was he really that unwelcome by the couple?

So he stepped away.

He felt that if he didn’t leave then, Qin Ye might just haul him out.

Watching the person following him out, he said, "Qin Ye, no need to see me off."

Qin Ye replied coldly, "I’m here to close the door."

Qin Zhen: ...

Is this still a brother?

When he stepped through the gate, the sound of the door closing echoed behind him.

Had he not left quickly, he might have gotten his heels caught.

Qin Ye returned to the main room. "Wife, that Li Family..."

"It’s fine, it has been settled. They probably won’t come to make trouble for a while," unless those people don’t learn their lesson.

Qin Ye: ...

He saw that his wife didn’t want to elaborate, so he didn’t ask any further.

But about the Li Family... he still had to check on those three brothers until he was certain they posed no danger; otherwise, he wouldn’t be at ease.

Rong Yan didn’t want him to ask too much; after all, the situation was within her control.

So she changed the subject, "Since Grandpa is coming over for dinner tonight, what are you planning to make?"

Qin Ye answered, "I’ll cook a few dishes and make a pot of rice."

"Then go see what vegetables we have at home. If it’s not enough, go out and see if you can buy some."

Qin Ye had already checked, "It’s enough." He would get up early tomorrow morning to buy some more vegetables to keep at home.

Actually, it was mainly meat that they needed, as for vegetables... they had those growing at home.

These homegrown vegetables... tasted even better than the ones bought from the market.

"Alright then!" Rong Yan didn’t plan to get involved with cooking; the kitchen was too hot.

Besides, Qin Ye wouldn’t let her stay in the kitchen.

"I’m going to find Qin Mei."

"Fine." Qin Ye also went to take care of his own things.

Rong Yan headed over to Qin Mei’s place and saw her writing. "Meimei, did Song Pingping come by today?"

Qin Mei nodded, "She came this morning. I told her you were busy and after staying a while, she left. She will come again tomorrow."

Rong Yan: "Okay."

"Big sister-in-law, this is what I painted today, take a look." Qin Mei presented the papers she had painted on.

Rong Yan began to check them.

It was then that suddenly, outside, a wailing cry arose... it sounded quite dreadful.

"Big sister-in-law, it seems like someone is crying outside," Qin Mei said, feeling uneasy.

It seemed like something very bad had happened.

Rong Yan naturally heard it too, "You stay here, I’ll go have a look."

Qin Mei obediently nodded, "Alright, big sister-in-law." She wouldn’t get in her sister-in-law’s way.

Rong Yan walked outside, and at this time, Qin Ye also emerged from the kitchen, having heard as well.

Seeing his wife heading out, he knew she was going to check on things and said, "Wife, I’ll go with you."

"Okay." Rong Yan nodded.

The couple then headed outside.

Once they came out, they saw that there was a crowd gathered at the entrance to the alleyway; it looked like something had happened there.

"Seems like the incident is over there," Qin Ye remarked, and both of them quickened their pace.
