Chapter 329: Her Mother’s EQis Really High!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Minghong’s question did not get an answer from First Madam Qin.

However, her silence revealed the answer.

“Minghong, your mother and 1 are old friends.” Seeing his confused and helpless gaze, First Madam Qin said softly, “Besides, your mother saved my life.”

Therefore, regardless of whether Qin Chen was Qin Sheng’s brother or not, Qin Minghong would always be a child of the Qin family.

“I understand.” Qin Minghong gripped the teacup in his hand tightly. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and smiled at First Madam Qin. “1’11 always be a member of the Qin family. This will never change.”

“That’s right.” Seeing that he could figure it out, First Madam Qin was naturally gratified.

The main study of the Qin Residence was also Qin Chen’s private study.

…..
Ever since he divorced Madam Liu, the residence finally quietened down completely.

It was just that Mingyao seemed to hate him…

He pinched the space between his eyebrows in frustration, feeling very frustrated. The current political situation was very complicated. A storm was brewing, and he didn’t know if the Qin family could safely get through this.

It would be great if Big Brother was still alive…

Knock knock—

There was a sudden knock on the door, and he came back to his senses.

“Father.” Qin Minghong walked in and bowed respectfully. “1 heard that you haven’t slept well these past few days, so 1 asked the kitchen to make some calming soup.”

At this moment, Qin Chen’s emotions were a little complicated. He looked at Qin Minghong with mixed feelings.

He didn’t have any feelings for his first wife. At that time, Big Brother felt that Xuerou was suitable for him, so he married her. Cao Xuerou was a gentle and virtuous wife, and she gave birth to his eldest son, Minghong. However, for some reason, he felt that Cao Xuerou was too boring. Although she was a standard Jiangnan beauty, her beauty was too dull and boring. Hence, when Madam Liu expressed her goodwill to him, he accepted it.

After all, Cao Xuerou’s health was not good to begin with. After giving birth to Qin Minghong, her body became even weaker and she passed away not long after.

He didn’t have deep feelings for his first wife, so he didn’t have much expectations for his eldest son.

Coupled with Madam Liu’s inteference, Qin Minghong had long understood the matters between men and women. He was in no mood to study and only wanted to have fun. Qin Chen couldn’t entrust things to a son like this.

Therefore, he ignored the child’s growth.

Now that he was faced with his sudden concern, he was at a loss.

After a while, he said dryly, “You’re very considerate.”

“Actually, 1 have something to trouble you with, Father.” Qin Minghong said straightforwardly, “I passed the examination four years ago, but I went into business in a fit of anger. Now, I want to return to my official career. I wonder if Father has any ideas?”

When he heard this, he was even more shocked. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost!

“You? What did you say?”

“I’m a recommendee to begin with. I wonder if Father can give me some pointers? I want to become an official.” Qin Minghong had long expected his reaction, so his expression was very calm.

In fact, Qin Minghong had already passed the examination four years ago and was a recommendee.

However, at that time, he hated Qin Chen and the bureaucracy. Hence, even if he obtained a scholarly honor, he didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he lived a carefree life for a few years and wasted four years of his life.

“Do you have an ideal place to go?” After calming down, he was naturally willing to scheme for Qin Minghong. After all, this was his biological son!

As his father, how could he not plan for his son’s future?

“Yangzhou.” Qin Minghong said calmly, “Isn’t uncle in Yangzhou? If I can go to Yangzhou, it would be good.”

“Yangzhou?” Qin Chen’s emotions changed from excitement to disappointment. The person his biological son was thinking about was still from the Cao family!

“Yes, Yangzhou,” Qin Minghong said sincerely. “If you have any good ideas, 1’11 be eternally grateful. Of course, this gratitude is nothing. As long as 1 can go to Yangzhou, I’ll leave all your assets to Mingyao. 1 only want my mother’s dowry.”

“Nonsense!” he berated angrily. “I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking of splitting assets?”

Qin Minghong did not expect him to have such a big reaction, but what he said just now was from the bottom of his heart!

“My mistake.” Although Qin Minghong did not know what he had done wrong, he still admitted his mistake obediently.

Of course, Qin Chen didn’t agree to his request immediately. Instead, he said that he would make arrangements according to the situation.

Qin Minghong was not in a hurry to get the results. After all, he still had to go to Dingyuan County to help that pair of bad friends!

September 16th was an auspicious day.

Early in the morning, the kitchen in the Shen family’s courtyard was already packed.

Aunt Guihua, who was helping to deal with the live shrimp, could not help but sigh. “Lanhua, why is the difference between people so big? My punk would rather work in the fields than go to school!”

“What’s wrong? You want to send Da Niu and Er Niu to school too?”

“How can 1 not!” Auntie Guihua could not help but sigh. “No matter what, it’s good to study. Unfortunately, Da Niu and Er Niu are not cut out for studying. Sigh!”

“Don’t sigh. The children here will have their own blessings.” Zhao Lanhua quickly comforted her. “Besides, Da Niu is such a filial child. Your Da Niu was already good at farming when he was ten years old, right? There’s also Er Niu. That girl is so beautiful and has a sweet mouth. She will definitely be able to marry into a good family in the future! You don’t have to be dissatisfied. Other people’s children are here to collect debts. Your two children are clearly here to repay their kindness!”

“Sister Lanhua, you’re the best at comforting people-” Aunt Guihua smiled and said, “After hearing what you said, I feel much better!”

“Then why aren’t you helping out?” Zhao Lanhua also joked with a smile.

Ji Zhao, who was squatting on the ground picking vegetables, gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up.

Her mother’s EQ was really high!

With just a few words, Auntie Guihua was coaxed to the point of no return.

If she cultivated to this level, she would be invincible, right?

Just as Ji Zhao was thinking nonsense, Tian Guangsheng walked up to her and said awkwardly, “All Tao, come to the kitchen.”

“Alright,” Ji Zhao replied obediently. The moment she walked into the kitchen, she smelled a strange smell. “Grandfather, what’s wrong?”

“A few days ago, Shufang’s family sent over six large mandarin fish. I wanted to wait for Third Brother to hold a banquet before using them.. Who knew that last night, I forgot to change the water and the fish meat became smelly…” Second Sister-in-law Shen blamed herself,” Ah Tao, what should we do?”
