Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

The reason was actually simple. Besides Mr. Qin’s firm belief that his youngest son was the most like him, there was another important factor: his youngest son had given him a grandson!

His only grandson!

And so, he spoiled him endlessly and without limits. As a result, he spoiled his son right into prison. If the old man lived a little longer, he would probably see his grandson get spoiled into prison too.

As for Qin Bogang and Qin Zhonghui, they did want to pay for their father’s treatment. But cancer is truly difficult to cure, and each round of chemotherapy cost a lot of money.

Qin Zhonghui had already made up his mind. He would temporarily close his restaurant, and if things got really bad, he would sell it.

He was prepared to lose everything. But what about their father?

He told them it was fine for the two of them to spend their money, but they couldn’t touch the third brother’s house. He even wanted them to raise their third brother’s good-for-nothing son!

Even the most good-natured person couldn’t stand for that.

That was how, bit by bit, their hearts grew completely cold.

Qin Zhonghui asked, ”What about Mom?”

Qin Bogang said, ”I told Mom that if she feels she can’t go on, she can come find me and Sun Li in the county town. We’ll support her.”

Qin Zhonghui said, ”Then I’ll send you money later. I’ll help you support our mom.”

He couldn’t send the money now. Even if he did, it wouldn’t reach their mother. Of course, their father probably wouldn’t spend it on himself either. He would just save it all for his youngest son, for when he got out of prison, or simply give it to his grandson to spend.

The two brothers set out for Sanjiazi again, planning to transfer the property deeds back. When the village chief and the others saw the brothers in this state, they couldn’t help but try to console them again.

But in the end, the problem lay with Mr. Qin himself, not with his sons.

The village chief and the others were about to say more, but Qin Zhonghui said with a wry smile, ”If we don’t sort this out cleanly, just you watch. When our third brother gets out, Dad will make us two support him.”

How ridiculous. A man in his thirties or forties, still needing his brothers to support him.

The two of them had their own wives and children, and the money they had was all hard-earned savings. Supporting your parents and fulfilling your filial duties is one thing, but where is it written that you have to support your own brother too?

If your brother were young, not yet an adult, and unable to care for himself, that would be understandable.

But Qin Jiqun had been gluttonous and lazy for years, eating until his belly was slick with grease. He wasn’t even that old, but he was the type who wouldn’t lift a finger to help, even if the oil bottle fell over right in front of him.

Why should his two older brothers have to support such a useless sibling?

No wonder their hearts had grown cold.

In the end, the village chief stopped trying to persuade them. Instead, he brought several elders from the Qin clan to speak with Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin looked at his two sons and sneered, ”So you’re just going to stand there and watch me die?”

Qin Bogang and Qin Zhonghui remained silent.

There was no reasoning with him anymore. He was trapped in his own little world where only his own thoughts were right, and anything they said or did was wrong.

”Fine. Since you’re giving up the houses, then you don’t have to worry about my illness, and you don’t have to worry about Xiao Tao. I’ll just pretend I never had you two as sons!”

The village chief sighed and completed the paperwork. He watched as the brothers Qin Bogang and Qin Zhonghui left without a backward glance. He turned back to Mr. Qin and said, ”I say, old brother, why do you have to make things so hard on yourself? Why push your sons away like this?”

Mr. Qin took a drag from his dry pipe, then burst into a violent coughing fit. He said, ”This illness of mine is incurable anyway. I saw long ago that these two are heartless. They won’t take care of their third brother in the future, so I might as well secure a little more for him now.”
