Chapter 60: The Father of My Children
Xu Qing said casually, “His name is Xu Sizhi. He helped our family. Since he was alonem I pitied him and took him in as my younger brother.”
Chen Qiulian and the others widened their eyes. Xu Qing’s family was struggling to survive, but she actually acknowledged a younger brother?
“I see. Then who is the man behind you?” Most of the people in the village knew each other. This man looked silly, but he was really good-looking. In the entire village, they had never seen such a handsome man.
Xu Qing smiled and pulled Qiao Yanhui in front of her. “This is my child’s father, Little Hui. We were supposed to get married last year, but something happened to Little Hui’s family, so we plan to hold the wedding after we build the house.”
This news shocked everyone. So Xu Qing’s three children weren’t bastards?
“Bullshit, why didn’t I know about this?!” Chen Qiulian glared and roared.
Xu Qing’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. “At this point, do you have to force me tell the truth? Last year, you asked Second Uncle to sell me to a brothel in town and gave me aphrodisiac. I was scared to death at that time. Fortunately, I met Little Hui at that time and avoided trouble. However, I also started a relationship with Little Hui because of this. Little Hui felt guilty towards me and discussed our marriage with my mother. My mother was afraid that I would be sold by you guys again, and she was even more afraid that my reputation would be ruined, so she agreed. We agreed to get married last year, but I didn’t expect something to happen in Little Hui’s family. When I saw Little Hui again, he became stupid… However, Little Hui is the children’s father and he saved my life. I couldn’t ignore him, so I wanted to finish building the house and get married. If the Xu family still wants to stop my wedding now, I might as well die!”
Actually, what Xu Qing said was half-truths. It was true that she was sold to a brothel and drugged. However, it was fake that she met Qiao Yanhui later on. Xu Qing’s memories of what happened after that were very vague, but she still knew.
At that time, she ran out of Xu Jiangnan’s hands and ran into the village. However, just as she was about to reach the village, the medicine took effect. She really couldn’t run anymore and took off her clothes. Then, a huge body that pressed her down. She couldn’t remember anything after that.

Xu Qing cried. Qiao Yanhui’s heart ached terribly. He hurriedly shielded Xu Qing behind him and glared at Chen Qiulian and her family.
In an instant, Chen Qiulian and the others felt their bodies turn cold. His gaze was intimidating.
Xu Qing’s words shocked everyone. Seeing that the expressions of the Xu family had changed, they subconsciously started to distance themselves from them.
“Is Old Madam Xu even human? She actually sold her granddaughter off…”
“What a sin… I have to tell my children when I get back. We can’t interact with this family. They even set up their own family, let alone outsiders?!”
“Such a vicious woman actually appeared in our village. If it were me, I would definitely get a divorce!”
“Back then, when Chen Qiulian found out that Xu Qing was pregnant, she was the first to shout that she wanted to kill her. From the looks of it, she was afraid of being exposed.”
“Fortunately, the villagers are benevolent. Otherwise, four innocent lives would have been lost.”
…
Old Xu’s family members were livid. They wished they hadn’t come today. Chen Qiulian’s face was pale as she looked at her husband with trepidation. When she saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat.
“Chen Qiulian! How dare you harm our family’s children like this? I… I’ll kill you!” Old Master Xu’s blood boiled. His reputation was ruined! He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Chen Qiulian.

Chen Qiulian wailed after being hit. She dodged and shouted for her children to help. In the end, no one went forward since they were afraid that their reputation would be ruined because of her.
“I gave birth to the Xu family’s children, but now, I’m actually being beaten up. What kind of punishment is this?!” Chen Qiulian cried indignantly.
However, no one paid attention.
Xu Qing didn’t expect that this matter would be handled better than she had expected. In this way, her reputation would also improve. However, she had to tell her parents in town about this so they could get their story straight.
In the end, the village chief and the patriarchs came. Only then did the farce of Chen Qiulian being beaten up stop.
The village chief and the clansmen discussed and came to a conclusion. Chen Qiulian definitely couldn’t stay in this village anymore. Now, it depended on Old Master Xu’s decision.
Old Master Xu had indeed beaten Chen Qiulian up, but he didn’t want to chase her away. After all, Chen Qiulian was the best at making money. He had to keep her.
