Chapter 368: Chapter 378: Looking down on Others with a Dog’s Eyes

But without having conducted an investigation himself, he couldn’t be too hasty in making assumptions. Unexpectedly, the village where his sister had been sent down in those years was the very village where Sheng Ning lived.

“Exactly!” the office director explained, “Sheng Laosan and I have known each other for a long time. He and Qin Youmin joined at the same time, and they have always been very close.”

“Oh!” Su Hai nodded and deliberately looked back again as he passed by Sheng Ning’s house.

Upon hearing that someone from Qin Laoer’s family had run off toward Second Aunt Qin’s house, Xu Laodi started running and shouting, “Second Aunt, you’ve got relatives visiting, you’ve got relatives visiting!”

Second Aunt Qin was at home sifting rice to prepare meals when she heard Xu Laodi’s voice and scolded loudly, “What nonsense are you spouting? Your family is the one with relatives visiting! A poor and shabby relative showing up at noontime is just bad luck. All set to mooch off food and drink.”

Su Hai’s face darkened instantly. If their Su Family’s precious baby were to be raised by these kinds of people, it would be a complete insult.

“Not at all!” exclaimed Xu Laodi, getting anxious, “It’s rich relatives, not poor and shabby ones.”

Separated by an earthen wall courtyard, Second Aunt Qin couldn’t see anyone and certainly didn’t believe a word Xu Laodi said.

“Nonsense! There isn’t a rich person in my family within three generations; we’re all poor as church mice. Don’t scare me. If they were rich, you’d take them to your own house, not mine.”

“Hahaha…” people outside the courtyard burst into hearty laughter.

Someone teased, “Second Aunt Qin, you’re always thinking about money!”

“That’s right, you’re looking down on people with your dog’s eyes.”

“Exactly, exactly!”

Hearing this, Second Aunt Qin was fuming with anger. Someone was actually daring to insult her, which was practically courting death. She had cursed everyone in the village, young and old, without match. Who could stand against her?

Instantly dropping what she was doing, she came out huffing and puffing, only to be stunned at the sight before her.

The two people in front of her had an imposing presence, especially the one wearing the black coat; his gaze made her knees tremble.

Su Yun recognized Second Aunt Qin with just a glance, actually already recognizing her by her voice. Although Qin Youde was the younger brother, he got married earlier and was favored by his parents.

Although Qin Youmin was the eldest, he never had a wife.

Back when she was with Qin Youmin, Second Aunt Qin had already married into the family, but because she hadn’t become pregnant, she often quarreled with her mother-in-law.

Even to this day, Su Yun had a fresh memory of Second Aunt Qin’s quarreling skills.

“What are you doing here?” Second Aunt Qin asked, defensive as she eyed Su Hai.

This man seemed too dangerous, he didn’t look like a good person.

Su Yun was about to speak, but was subtly stopped by Su Hai.

“Are you from Qin Youde’s family? We are old friends of Qin Youmin, and we’ve come specially to pay our respects,” Su Hai stepped forward and said.

“You are friends of our family’s eldest?” Second Aunt Qin eyed them suspiciously, “That dead man actually had friends of such high status?”

Su Yun’s face turned slightly pale, “We are…” but before she could finish, Su Hai cut her off abruptly.

“What now?” Su Yun said, displeased.

“Shut your mouth!” He was completely disappointed with his sister.

This rural woman in front of them clearly wasn’t someone simple and honest. If they were to reveal their purpose right from the start, there was no telling if they would be fooled.

“Oh!” Su Yun nodded, looking aggrieved, and ended up not daring to say anything more in front of her brother.

Su Hai made a signal to the office director and then said, “That’s right, many years ago we were helped a lot by Qin Youmin, so today we have come specifically to express our gratitude.”

Second Aunt Qin’s shifty eyes scanned over Su Hai and the others, then glanced at the office director, and immediately her face filled with smiles.

“Since you are old friends, then please come inside and sit down. This way, please, this way, please.”
