Chapter 714: The Pitiful Are Always Despicable in Their Own Ways

Mrs. Qin sighed upon hearing this, "Sigh, there’s always something detestable about pitiful people, and this couple really is a match made in heaven."

She glanced at Lin Chuxia, "When Da Wen’s wife was pregnant with their first child, they claimed they knew it was a boy from somewhere. Before the baby was even born, they were calling it a son everywhere they went. Everyone knew that this child wasn’t easy to come by, thinking they were obsessed with having a son. But in the end, a girl was born.

If it were any other family having a girl, they’d accept it, maybe try for a second child in a few years. Da Wen isn’t working right now, and his wife has a rural household registration, so they’re allowed a second child after four or five years. In our village, many people would prefer their first to be a girl, bloom first, and then have a boy, so they can eventually have both.

But this couple couldn’t wait. Their firstborn was just a few months old, and Da Wen’s wife was pregnant again. She hadn’t even recovered from the first premature birth, her body wasn’t ready for it.

You could tell from her skinny frame, she struggled through the first pregnancy. The second one was even worse. I heard your aunt say this pregnancy was doomed from the start; she started bleeding shortly after conceiving. But that couple went crazy, determined to keep the pregnancy at any cost, taking meds and suffering, and in the end, what came of it?"

Last New Year, when Lin Chuxia saw Ma Suyun, she had already guessed the situation.

Their first child was a hard battle, involving numerous doctors and medicines.

In such cases, the mother’s health is often compromised.

During her first pregnancy, Ma Suyun had a rough time. While other pregnant women gained weight, she only had a large belly.

Becoming pregnant so quickly with the second child might not have happened naturally.

...........

After having lunch at home and bonding briefly with Qi Qi, Lin Chuxia went out with Wang Tianyu.

She needed to resolve matters here quickly since her husband repeatedly told her to return soon before leaving yesterday.

Lin Chuxia noticed that Qin Yang was becoming increasingly clingy, especially after Qi Qi was born, reaching a new level of attachment.

Even Mrs. Qin often complained he seemed like a different person.

Meanwhile, Qin Wen’s wife had just given birth, and Mrs. Qin wanted to visit and see her daughter.

When passing by Qin Wen’s home, there was a tractor parked outside, indicating Ma Suyun had returned.

Though her situation looked risky, proper treatment didn’t require hospitalization; she just needed to recover well at home.

Lin Chuxia only glanced briefly before looking away, uncertain about the scene inside.

"Brother, the doctor said Suyun needs to recuperate well, eat better. If you don’t lend me money, how can I buy good food for her? If Suyun doesn’t recover and can’t bear a son, aren’t you leaving me without an heir? You have two sons and don’t care or want Jianshe to care for me in my old age?"

Before Qin Liang could respond to Qin Wen, Qian Chuncao responded with disapproval.

"Why should my son take care of you? You have your own child, don’t tease your brother. We paid for Suyun’s hospital bills, and you still have the nerve to ask your brother for money to buy meat? Lazybones, you don’t work hard; look around Qin Family Village—whose life is as poorly run as yours?"

"I didn’t want things to be this way, it’s all because Lin Chuxia sabotaged us..."

Qian Chuncao sneered without hesitation, "Da Wen, be self-aware. You claim Lin Chuxia sabotaged you; exactly how did she do that? You really think you’re important? Do you even see what makes you worth her attention?"

The harsh words made Qin Wen’s face turn red.

"If she wasn’t against me, why not give me a job? Your Jianjun and Jianshe all have work, even Second Brother benefits from her and runs a chicken farm as a manager. What makes me less capable than them?"

Qian Chuncao rolled her eyes, figuring out his scheme.

Too tired to argue with Qin Wen, she left directly.

Spending time arguing with him wasn’t worth it compared to having a nap at home.

As for borrowing money, she controlled family finances; her husband wouldn’t dare lend money to his brother without her approval.

Qin Liang also considered his brother a hopeless case. Having already beaten him up at the hospital, it didn’t enlighten him; what else was there to do? Surely not beat him again.

"Your sister-in-law’s opinion is mine. If farming doesn’t work for you, ask me what to plant next. Or just plant what I plant, and stop thinking about jobs from Chuxia," he said, feeling embarrassed by his brother’s words.

Leaving this message, Qin Liang left too.

With his brother and sister-in-law really not caring about him, Qin Wen’s face darkened.

Ma Suyun heard the brothers’ conversation.

She felt weak, her head was spinning, and there was a throbbing pain below.

But thinking about the past two years, Ma Suyun knew this couldn’t continue.

She tried to advise, "Actually, Big Brother is right, if we farmed well, we could earn a lot. Look at our village neighbors; these years, with greenhouse vegetables, haven’t they all made money? There’s no need to insist on a job..."

Before she could finish, she met Qin Wen’s cold gaze, "Can farming compare to a job? Do you think those who farm earn a lot compared to the effort? Look at others, Second Brother runs a chicken farm, Jianjun’s a manager, even Qin Jianshe, that brat, drives in the market with bravado, yet I, as an uncle, get scolded at the market. How am I worse than them?"

"But earlier, what we did was wrong..."

Ma Suyun could now face her past mistakes calmly, but Qin Wen couldn’t.

"Who’s wrong? You tell me. Whose side are you on? I haven’t settled today’s score with you and you’re accusing me? Be honest, did Lin Chuxia plan your fall today? She doesn’t want me to have a son, trying to cut off my line."

"No, it has nothing to do with her..."

"If it’s not her, then it’s you? Did you not want this child and deliberately fall to lose it?"

His face was so intense it scared Ma Suyun into trembling.

Since losing his job at the Hardware Company, Qin Wen had been emotionally unstable.

Especially when it came to Qin Yang, Lin Chuxia, and having children, those were his trigger points.

Unfortunately, today both issues came together.
