Chapter 1191: The anger of a mer who lost his child
Nan Yan looked at his friend who was staring at him as if he had backstabbed him and then stated, ” Brother Lu, there are no hard feelings between us, right? I just want to return home without being kicked out.”
When Qiu Lu heard Nan Yan’s words before turning to Chen Mi. He asked politely, ” Master, as long as one does not pay… the vegetables can be snatched by whoever right?”
Chen Mi blinked his eyes. Though he felt sorry for the poor mer, he nodded and replied with a soft voice, ” Well that is indeed the policy of the mall.”
No sooner did Chen Mi finish speaking Qiu Lu’s eyes lit up while Nan Yan wailed in silence. He looked at Chen Mi wanting to ask him why he did not refuse.
” Nan Yan! Hand those vegetables to me, you still have a chance. Don’t even try to resist!” Qiu Lu roared as he rushed to where Nan Yan was standing, as for Nan Yan when he saw that Qiu’s siblings were rushing towards him, he pushed his sister in front of him heartlessly.
Nan Wan: “….”
” Sister stop them! If they get these vegetables then you and I will be kicked out of the house. Remember that we are doing this for our filial piety!” Nan Yan cried as he rushed to the paying counter while his sister tried to stop the Qiu siblings.
Chen Mi: “….” Maybe we should increase our stocks?
On the other hand,
At a luxuriously decorated courtyard, a middle-aged woman returned with the bag of vegetables. She looked at her daughter who was studying while wiping her tears and sighed.
” Did your daddy get angry at you again, Lai Lai?” The middle-aged woman questioned her daughter who was holding a brush in her hand while sitting behind the study table.
When the little girl saw her mother return, she sniffed and then cried, ” Daddy is not good, Mother. He scolded me just because I did not receive good results in the monthly exam… but I tried my best.”
Qian Hai sighed as she listened to her daughter’s complaints. She placed the bag of vegetables on the ground and then picked up her daughter who was sitting on the small mat and then patted her on the back before saying, ” Your daddy is just angry, sooner or later he will get better. He will then love you like he did in the past.”
Qian Lai shivered as she hugged her mother but before she could say anything, the doors of the courtyard were pushed open with a bang.
The two of them shivered as they turned to look at Master Qian who had opened the doors of his room with a great force. He looked at the two mother and daughter pair as if they owed him a million taels and questioned angrily, ” Where were you? Didn’t I say that we needed to head over to your daddy’s? Now he would question me again saying that I am the one who is stopping you from seeing him?”
The mother and daughter looked at one another.
Qian Hai knew that she was in the wrong. But she did not want her husband and father to quibble with one another, after the death of her second daughter who was poisoned by her mer concubine, Yuan Jiuqi had gotten more and more dissatisfied with her.
His dissatisfaction with her raised her daddy’s disdain for him in return. Even if she tried to smoothen over the matter by divorcing the mer concubine and talking with the two mers they did not listen to anything that came out of her mouth.
This was why she deliberately avoided going to her daddy’s house in the afternoon and instead went around the town looking for this and that —— she was too stressed while dealing with the two mers. Both of them were equally important to her and she did not know whom to give more importance.
One was the mer who gave birth to him while the other one was the father of her daughter. How could she give importance to only one?
For the sake of avoiding the two of them, Qian Hai decided to do anything that would save her the stress.
” I was invited by my colleagues, there is a new shopping mall opened on the Main Street. We went there,” Qian Hai replied politely and with patience. ” The shopping mall also has theatres and playing area, we lost a bit of our time there.”
When Yuan Jiuqi heard that his wife went to play when he was worrying about his father-in-law’s anger and taking care of their daughter whose results were getting worse from bad, he could not help but get angry.
He sneered and yelled, ” Play? All you know is to play around! Will you die if you do not stay at home and accompany your daughter or husband?” When he thought about how it was because of his wife’s careless attitude that cost the life of his daughter, his eyes turned red and the anger in his heart surged even more. ” It’s because of your attitude that my daughter lost her life, Qian Hai!
If you hadn’t played around with that indecent mer from a shady household, my daughter would be alive! I work day and night like a slave of your house and you do not even give me a good face.”
Yuan Jiuqi then turned to look at his daughter who shivered and buried her face into her mother’s neck. ” And what are you hiding for? You keep acting like this and one day your position as the heir of the Qian house will be snatched by the children of those goblins’ kids! Have you not heard? That brat from the third branch won gold in the essay competition and you? You got a bronze!
How embarrassing!”
” The heiress of the Qian family was beaten up by the daughter of a mer concubine, you surely are making me proud! Keep on doing this and I will be too embarrassed to step outside the house!”
