She returned and immediately started quarreling with Qin Guohua. The shouts of the two could be heard clearly outside, followed by the sounds of plates and bowls being smashed, becoming the talking point and jest of the village. As for Qin Guohua wanting to trouble Qin Xiangnuan and her siblings, it depended on whether the villagers agreed. Sometimes, money is indeed the best at buying people's hearts. The road in the village had already started to be repaired; as long as the money was in place, everything could be facilitated. Qin Xiangnuan burned some paper money for Du Ping and fixed up the cemetery a bit, making it easier to recognize in the future. This was the last thing a child could do for their parents. The Village Chief also agreed to ensure the villagers would keep an eye on Du Ping's grave. With matters here settled, there was nothing else concerning Qin Xiangnuan and her family. However, when they arrived in Shenjia Village, as soon as they stepped home, they noticed many more people in the house. Dongsheng's face looked grim, sitting there, coldly staring at the crowd in front of him. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Such despicable relatives. Qin Xiangnuan did not call out to anyone; these people had nothing to do with her. They chased Granny Lu, an old lady, out to beg on the streets, and treated Dongsheng, a child, like an animal, eventually crippling his legs. If not for Granny Lu and them returning just in time, Dongsheng would probably have been tortured to death by now. "Hey, isn't that Xiang Nuan?" The eldest brother's wife, upon seeing the clothes Qin Xiangnuan wore and her delicate features, distinct from the villagers in her demeanor, thought the clothes must be expensive. So pale, she probably doesn't often get out in the sun, possibly like those in TV dramas who earn loads of money sitting at a desk. She reached out to touch Qin Xiangnuan's clothes, thinking how good it would look on her. Qin Xiangnuan stepped back to avoid the eldest brother's wife's hand, pulled over a chair, and sat down, "Brother, why did they come here?" She asked Dongsheng what made him bring them here. Before Dongsheng could even speak, the eldest brother's wife, hands on her hips and mimicking a teapot stance, retorted, "Qin Xiangnuan, you disrespectful girl, who says we can't come here? This is my mother-in-law's house, and you're an outsider. What, do you also want the old lady's property? That property belongs to the Du Family, why are you, a Qin, stirring up trouble here?" She curled her lips, revealing black and yellow teeth, likely never brushed in her life, spitting as she talked, a mouth reeking of bad breath. Qin Xiangnuan frowned, disgusted by the smell. She turned her face away, unwilling to glance again at this woman. The greed in her eyes, the true face of these relatives from a previous lifetime, she had seen it all, thus never held any hopes for them. Whatever they wanted to do was their matter, but the moment they targeted her, sorry, please leave. "Dongsheng, give me the keys," the eldest brother's wife demanded, extending her hand to Dongsheng, "The old lady's property belongs to your uncle." The second daughter-in-law, of course, was not to be outdone. She stood aside, ready to reap the benefits; after all, if the eldest brother had a share, the third brother certainly had one too. Dongsheng was growing impatient, his face cold. Although he had gotten used to the faces of these two families, he still found them unbearable. Just now, he had almost slammed the table into the eldest brother's wife's wrinkled old face. Sometimes he would stare at his own leg in a daze - if not for this family's excessive bullying, how would he have ended up with a lame leg? "Where are the keys?" the eldest brother's wife stretched her hand forward, "Hurry up and give me the keys." "Keys, what keys?" Dongsheng stood up, towering over the short and plump eldest brother's wife by more than a head. Such a height advantage clearly displeased the eldest brother's wife. "What keys?" the voice of the eldest brother's wife was shrill with anger, "Of course, the keys to this house! This is Du Family's property; you're not planning to swallow it all by yourself, are you?" "Heh..." Dongsheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, honestly, he was too tired to even laugh; he didn't find it funny at all. "Auntie, this isn't my grandmother's. This house belongs to the Hua Family. If you don't believe it, go check it out in their village. Dongsheng really despised their greed. How could this house possibly belong to the Du Family? It's part of Shenjia Village, where the sale of property is forbidden." The records at the village brigade listed Hua Xiaogang, and Hua Xiaogang had privately signed an agreement with Qin Xiangnuan. The house was in Qin Xiangnuan's hands, but in the village records, it still belonged to Shenjia Village. The eldest brother's wife's face darkened, feeling like a delicious morsel was about to be spat out. How could this be possible? She was determined to get the house today. Without the house, where would she live? The house was so well-built, and the location was good too, renting it out could bring in a decent sum every year. How could she let Dongsheng monopolize such benefits? She had made up her mind today to get the house one way or another. The house isn't that old woman's, how could this be? She had clearly investigated; the old woman had lived here for over a decade and had made quite a sum of money. Last time, that damned old hag had even deceived them. Every time she thought of this, she was so angry she could crush her teeth. Qin Xiangnuan really didn't want to witness these people's faces anymore. She went to Granny Hua's house to play with the kids. The innocent smiles of the children were much more appealing than some old flesh and old faces. They couldn't have this house. It really didn't belong to the Du Family, so if they wanted it, they could keep dreaming. Qin Xiangnuan just wanted to go back already. There were just too many unbearable people around here, so many that it was disturbing her peace. The Du Family came over several more times, but each time, they were met with cold food and cold chairs. Qin Xiangnuan didn't even want to see them, and Dongsheng, for his part, showed no kindness to this aunt-in-law and third aunt-in-law of his. You might want to make a fuss, but that doesn't mean anyone has to pay you any mind. Later, Dongsheng simply locked the door and went back to stay in a hotel. With no one to find, they surely wouldn't come to the village to cause trouble. A big village full of people wasn't vegetarian; the thoughts here were very conservative, and it belonged to the old village government. Each village had its territory, and trying to challenge another's territory was tantically making enemies with the entire village. Although the work was not perfectly done, at least, it wasn't a waste of Xiang Nuan's efforts, as it contributed to the village, except for encountering those two Du Family members. Qin Xiangyang also didn't bother going around to shops; having signed the contract, there was still half a year left, and unless necessary, he wouldn't go. They returned to the Capital City on the same day, but their mood wasn't great, all upset because of the Du Family people.
