Chapter 286: Going to Settle Accounts

Previously, the family had kept the matter from her and Elder Qin.

But something like this was impossible to hide—all it took was one walk outside for her and Elder Qin to find out everything.

She was absolutely heartbroken.

And to think she had always believed Lan Qingman couldn’t possibly have anything to do with it.

’After all, she’s a mother. How could she possibly do something like that?’

But the truth had slapped her hard across the face.

While Mrs. Qin was asleep, she and Elder Qin had already gone to the hospital. Although they didn’t go inside to see him, they could still get a glimpse from the outside.

The poor child had ended up in the intensive care unit.

’Good heavens, how could such a vicious woman exist in this world?’

Mrs. Qin, who was in the middle of her meal, froze.

She instantly understood that Old Mrs. Qin knew as well.

There was no point hiding it any longer, so she nodded. "That’s right. I’m going to the Lan family to settle the score."

"Then eat some more. You’ll need your strength. If it comes to it, I’ll go with you. Don’t let my age fool you; I’ve got plenty of strength."

Mrs. Qin’s mouth twitched when she heard that.

’You’re over seventy years old. What strength are you talking about?’

’I’d hate for you to get hurt by a stray fist in all the chaos.’

She said with a serious expression, "—Mom, just wait at home for good news. If you come, you’ll cramp my style."

Granny Qin: ...?

’How would I cramp her style?’

’Besides, I’m an old woman. Would those people really dare to lay a hand on me?’

’If any Lan Family member actually laid a hand on her, she’d just throw herself on the ground and bleed those godforsaken bastards dry.’

’Playing the shrew—everyone knows a trick or two.’

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Qin knew she hadn’t dropped the idea.

So she said, "Mom, listen to me. Stay home. If you come, I’ll have to watch out for you and won’t be able to let loose."

Old Mrs. Qin: ...? ’She’s talking like I’m some kind of burden.’

’Fine, if she doesn’t want me there, I won’t go.’

"Then you be careful. Don’t let that family bully you."

"I won’t," Mrs. Qin said through gritted teeth.

Just then, the other women of the Qin family arrived.

"Sister-in-law, if you’re going to the Lan family, we’re going with you."

The speaker was Qin Wenshu’s biological mother.

Then, the three Qin family aunts also spoke up. "Sister-in-law, we’re going too. We can’t let the Lan family get away with this."

Granny Qin thought that was a viable plan. "If you’re all going, then I’m going too. If it’s just you who show up, they’ll call the police. But if an old woman like me is there, we’ll be the ones in the right even if they do call."

But Mrs. Qin still refused. "Mom, don’t get involved in this mess. It doesn’t matter if we get locked up for a few days. Besides, why would we get locked up? We’re just going to demand justice. They did that to my grandson, and you think we’re not allowed to go demand justice?"

The Qin women declared in unison, "Let them arrest us! We’ll be fine."

And so, the four Qin sisters-in-law and the three aunts marched in a formidable procession toward the Lan family’s home.

The main gate of the Lan family home was shut tight.

"Get the hell out here!"

Mrs. Qin yelled.

The members of the Lan family were silent as the dead, not daring to make a peep.

They had only just been released from the police station themselves.

They truly hadn’t known that Lan Qingman had conspired with someone.

If they had known, wouldn’t they have tried to stop her?

Watching these Qin women, who were like a pack of tigresses, the next-door neighbors didn’t dare stick their heads out to watch the commotion.

By now, they had already heard a thing or two about what the Lan family had done.

They too were disgusted that Lan Qingman could do something so unconscionable.

Listening to the ruckus outside, the Lan family didn’t dare make a sound.
