Chapter 205 - 205 Snatching The Child
205 Snatching The Child
“Quick! Go get your eldest aunt. After that, you go to town and report the news to my family!” As Qin Dahu spoke, he took out a few copper coins and gave them to Zhang Laosan.
“Yes! Right!” Zhang Laosan quickly answered.
After receiving the money, he quickly dashed out.
After Zhang Laosan left, Qin Dahu started to get anxious.
Madam Zhang had gone into labor, and the child could be born at any time.
He definitely couldn’t go over now.
Otherwise, if the Zhang family were alerted to his presence, it would be even more difficult to take the child away.
All he could do now was wait.
After his father and second brother came, the three of them would act together. With their advantage in numbers, there was a higher chance of taking the child away.
Of course, he couldn’t just wait.
If the child was born before his father and the rest arrived, he would have to go and grab the child immediately.
This was to prevent the Zhang family from harming the child.
With that thought in mind, Qin Dahu turned to look at Zhang Laosan’s wife, who was busy working in the courtyard.
He walked over and spoke to her, “Mrs. Zhang.”
“Brother Qin.” Zhang Laosan’s wife quickly responded and even stood up.
Qin Dahu hesitated for a moment before taking out another six copper coins from his pocket.
“Can I ask you to go to the Zhang family’s house to help? If the child is born, come back immediately and inform me,” he said. At the same time, he handed over the copper coins.
A hint of fear flashed across the face of Zhang Laosan’s wife.
She looked at the copper coins that Qin Dahu handed out, and after a moment of hesitation, she actually rejected them.
“There’s no need for money. You’ve already given us money earlier.”
“I’ll go over now. I’ll come back immediately to report to you once I have news!” After that, Zhang Laosan’s wife wiped her hands on her apron and walked out.
After taking a few steps, she told her child to listen to Qin Dahu, stay at home obediently, and not go outside to wander around.
When she saw Qin Dahu pick her son up, she then left with ease of mind.
Qin Dahu was filled with gratitude as he watched Zhang Laosan’s wife leave.
Zhang Laosan’s wife was also a good woman.
Thereafter, as Qin Dahu waited anxiously…
Finally, four hours later, before noon, Qin Dazhuang, Qin Erhu, and Qin Xiaoyao arrived.
That was right. Qin Xiaoyao was here as well.
Today, Qin Xiaoyao only delivered three baskets of bean sprouts to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant.
She had nothing to do after that, so she went to the market on West Street to look for her father to see if she could help in any way.
As a result, she bumped into Zhang Laosan, who was looking for the Qin family.
Hence, Qin Xiaoyao decided to tag along.
When Qin Dahu saw that his father, younger brother, and younger sister had all arrived, he felt more at ease.
“How’s the situation now?” Qin Dazhuang asked anxiously.
Although he had already divorced Madam Zhang, that was his child. How could he not be anxious?
Qin Erhu and Qin Xiaoyao also looked at Qin Dahu.
“She’s still in labor,” Qin Dahu replied.
Seeing that Zhang Laosan was also looking at him, Qin Dahu turned to Zhang Laosan and said, “I asked Mrs. Zhang to go over and help.”
“She came back just now and said that the child should be due soon.”
Zhang Laosan nodded and felt more at ease.
Just as everyone was talking, the sound of a little child crying suddenly rang out from next door.
Qin Xiaoyao’s hearing was exceptional, and she was the first to hear it.
Before she could confirm it, she heard her father beside her yell excitedly, “She gave birth!”
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu also heard the cries, and their faces lit up.
Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her smile and said quickly, “There’s no time to lose. Father, let’s go and grab the child!”
“Mm-hmm!” Qin Dazhuang did not hesitate and quickly agreed.
Following that, the four of them quickly left Zhang Laosan’s house.
After that, they tried their best to avoid the villagers and took a detour by the main road.
Then they rushed to Madam Zhang’s house in a hurry.
At this moment, in the Zhang family’s courtyard house.
The two elders of the Zhang family, Zhang Dashui’s family, and Zhang Ershui were all there.
When they saw the Qin family, they were all astounded.
“Brother-in-law…” Zhang Ershui was the first to call out to Qin Dazhuang.
The way he looked at Qin Dazhuang was very warm and friendly.
How could he not be warm and friendly? This was his money tree.
Previously, it was because of this brother-in-law that he was able to live so comfortably.
If his sister hadn’t offended his brother-in-law and was sent home after being divorced, how would he have ended up having his arm broken by the gambling house?
How would he be living such a miserable life during this period?
When the other members of the Zhang family saw Qin Dazhuang, their faces also lit up with joy.
They thought that Qin Dazhuang must have come to visit Madam Zhang.
To their surprise, when Qin Dazhuang heard Zhang Ershui’s voice, his face clouded over instantly.
“Who’s your brother-in-law?” he said bellowed angrily.
Then, without even looking at the Zhang family members, he gestured to his two sons with his eye.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu immediately took action and headed straight for Madam Zhang’s room.
The Zhang family finally realized that something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
“What are you guys doing? How can you just barge into the room where a woman is giving birth?”
“That’s right! Don’t you think it’s unlucky? If there’s any issue, can’t we discuss it?”
Old Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Dashui’s wife spread their arms out and blocked Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu’s way.
They were still quite polite when they spoke, mainly because they were hoping that Qin Dazhuang would get back on good terms with Madam Zhang.
Previously, they were actually a little worried that the Qin family would really ignore Madam Zhang.
After all, it had been so long, and the Qin family had not come to ask about Madam Zhang’s situation.
However, it was different now. The Qin family had taken the initiative to come.
Moreover, Madam Zhang had just given birth to a boy.
For the sake of his son, it was still possible for Qin Dazhuang to take Madam Zhang back.
To their surprise, Qin Dahu retorted, “Get lost!”
Even Qin Erhu started to take action.
He grabbed Old Mrs. Zhang’s arm and pushed her to the side.
Seeing this, Qin Dahu didn’t think too much anymore and also followed suit.
He pushed Zhang Dashui’s wife away and barged into Madam Zhang’s room.
When they saw this, the expressions of all the Zhang family members changed.
“Gosh! They hit me! The Qin family is hitting me!” Zhang Dashui’s wife fell to the ground on her butt and started wailing.
“A man breaking into his stepmother’s room! The people of the Qin family have gone crazy!” Old Mrs. Zhang also wailed.
“There’s no justice! Come quickly and take a look! Fellow villagers, quickly come and speak up for us!”
“The Qin family is bullying us!”
At the same time, Zhang Dashui and Old Man Zhang became more courageous and went to the side to get hoes.
They looked like they were going to fight Qin Dazhuang to the death.
“Qin Dazhuang, you’ve gone too far!” Zhang Dashui picked up the hoe and pointed it at Qin Dazhuang.
How could Zhang Dashui not see it at this point?
Qin Dazhuang didn’t bring his people here to pick up his sister. They were clearly here to snatch the child.
Although he didn’t know how the other party knew that his sister was giving birth today, he would never allow the Qin family to take the child away!
Qin Xiaoyao frowned instantly.
Before her father could speak, she took a step forward and shielded her father behind her.
Then, without saying anything else, she stepped forward straightaway and snatched the hoes from the hands of Zhang Dashui and Old Man Zhang with just a few moves.
Immediately after that, Qin Xiaoyao kicked Zhang Dashui to the ground and then stomped on him.
It was so painful that Zhang Dashui gritted his teeth and cursed and swore.
When Qin Xiaoyao heard that Zhang Dashui still dared to scold her, she stomped her feet.
Following that, Zhang Dashui spat out blood.
