Chapter 643: Chapter 643: This Is a Fine Blade
Gu Jinli was also quite baffled, not expecting Qin San Lang to act so decisively and eradicate the problem once and for all.
She had wanted to watch the drama unfold, but this show was disappointing, ending as soon as it began.
Seeing Gu Jinli staring at him in a daze, Qin San Lang found her slightly stunned look extremely cute and couldn’t help but laugh.
When he laughed, everyone present shivered.
Qin San Lang ignored them and said to Gu Jinli, "Don’t be afraid, I only get fierce with those who are asking for it,"
not fierce to you.
Gu Jinli came to her senses and nodded, believing his words. She then pointed at the long sword hanging at his waist and said, "That’s a fine sword."
It didn’t even chip when chopping Shi Tou, miraculous.
Qin San Lang smiled and said, "It’s all about the skillful use of force. The force lies within the body, so the blade won’t chip."
Gu Jinli: "I see, you should teach me someday. I’ll try that when I use a knife to chop someone."
Qin San Lang: "Okay."
The uncles and aunts of Da Feng Village: "..."
These two really are formidable, chatting about using knives to chop people, better not provoke them.
Mai Dong said to Second Son He, "Take your Mingya Grass back home, we won’t be buying it this season. We’ve already stated the rules, and your family broke them, so you have only yourselves to blame."
Second Son He pleaded miserably, "Mai Dong, young brother, this is the Mingya Grass my family worked hard to grow all season. We rely on selling it to have a good new year, you really can’t refuse to buy it."
Village Chief He came out and scolded, "Your family deserves it. No one else is to blame for this, only blame your mother for breaking the rules. If your family wants to sell Mingya Grass next year, hurry and take the Mingya Grass back home. Don’t ruin the lives of all the married-out daughters in our village."
At these words, the villagers present immediately said, "Yes, hurry up and take your family’s Mingya Grass home, don’t cause trouble here. If your family causes trouble with the Fang Haitang leading to all the married-out daughters in the village being unable to sell Mingya Grass, we will tear your whole family apart!"
Everyone has aunts, sisters, and daughters, they can’t let the He Laoqiao family harm all the married-out daughters in the village.
With no other choice, Second Son He had to take the Mingya Grass back home.
Just before leaving, Qin San Lang warned, "Don’t let me see your niece again, and don’t even think about defaming her reputation and leaning on me to take responsibility. You can’t afford it."
After hearing this, Second Son He left dejectedly and had a big fight with his own mother back at home.
"It’s all your bad ideas, not only we have angered the Gu Family, but also provoked Qin San Lang, the ruthless one. He didn’t leave any room for face, publicly saying Haitang craves for men. Imagine if this spreads to Daxing Town, Haitang won’t ever be able to marry!"
"What? Qin San Lang actually said that in front of everyone in the village?" He Laoqiao’s wife slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh my, this murderous rascal, he wants to ruin our Haitang. No way, this old lady must confront him, he ruined Haitang’s reputation, he must marry her!"
Second Son He quickly stopped her, "Mother, please calm down. Qin San Lang said not to try pinning this on him, we can’t afford it."
He Laoqiao’s wife bellowed, "Why can’t we afford it? He said it in public. If he doesn’t take responsibility, I’ll die for him to see!"
"Heh, die for him to see? Why don’t you go die and see?" Second Son He’s wife sneered, "Do you really think Qin San Lang is just a poor boy who just escaped famine? He is now a Company Commander at the Military Office, and he knows countless people. He could easily find a man to ruin Haitang. If you think he wouldn’t dare, why don’t you go and stubbornly insist on it yourself?"
Village Chief He’s fear surged when he remembered that three years ago, before county’s gangsters were cleared out, just one thug was enough to ruin a girl.
Although there are far fewer gangsters in the county now, Qin San Lang, being a Company Commander, could easily find someone to ruin Haitang.
In his fear, Village Chief He grabbed a stick and began beating his own wife: "You stinking old woman, always causing trouble for the family, do you think you’re some superior of the Company Commander? Calculating against him, do you think he could have become Company Commander at such a young age without any tricks? Angering him will cost our family more lives than we have!"
While cursing, he continued to beat her.
Village Chief He’s wife cried in pain, "Stop beating me, please, I know I was wrong, woo woo woo... I didn’t know Qin Family’s third son was so ruthless, demanding her life before Haitang even spoke to him!"
Village Chief He didn’t care and kept beating until she couldn’t cry anymore.
Haitang had fainted from fear, and upon waking, what awaited her were two slaps from her grandpa.
Snap, snap, the slaps dazed Haitang: "Grandpa..."
Village Chief He said, "These two slaps are to remind you not to be cheap again. As a girl, trying to seduce a young man in front of so many people, if you have no shame, our family still needs to live in this village."
Haitang cried, "Grandpa, it was Grandma who told me to do it... I... I didn’t intend to attract Company Commander Qin."
"Not intent?" Village Chief He scoffed, "Look at the clothes you’re wearing. They’ve been altered, haven’t they? You dare say you had no such intentions."
To have the clothes altered so tightly, drawn to accentuate her figure; it made him blush just looking at her!
Caught out, Haitang dared not argue further, and covered her face, sobbing.
Second Son He’s wife listened disdainfully from the sidelines, thinking how her father-in-law only reproached his wife and Haitang, clearing himself of blame. Knowing his wife’s intentions, yet still letting Haitang stay at their home, wasn’t he just hoping Company Commander Qin would become his son-in-law?
But as the head of the household, Second Son He’s wife, despite despising such behavior, didn’t speak out.
Village Chief He’s second son said, "Dad, I’ll take Haitang back right away. Keeping her in the village overnight might upset the Qin and Gu Families."
Better to send her away quickly.
Village Chief He replied, "Alright, get her ready and send her back."
Village Chief He himself prepared a generous gift and went to Village Chief He’s house, seeking help to apologize to both the Qin Family and Gu Family.
Village Chief He saw through his intentions, showing no mercy and bluntly criticized him, "Don’t blame everything on the women. You are no cleaner yourself; the one who should be beaten the most is you!"
Realizing his motives were exposed, Village Chief He couldn’t argue but admitted, "Yes, I know the situation. But I wasn’t plotting against Qin San Lang; I just wanted to find a good family for Haitang."
Village Chief He curtly said, "Shut it. If you weren’t plotting against Qin San Lang, then what was today’s approval of your wife and granddaughter’s actions?"
"Don’t blame Qin San Lang for his decisive actions; it’s your family who lost their decency first, and you deserved to be dealt with this way."
Village Chief He was roundly rebuked by Village Chief He, who even warned at the end, "If there’s a next time, He Cui’er’s family fate will befall your family. As the village is prospering, I won’t let your family disrupt the wealth of the entire village."
