Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1131: Key Character_1 Chapter 1137: Chapter 1131: Key Character_1 Based on what he found, it was The Qins who had wronged Qin Xue’s mother, so even if they didn’t tell their family about these things, they had no grounds to blame anyone else.

“Her husband is also known to you, and is the person you were most satisfied with in the past.” Qin Lang thought back, his second uncle’s wish had been that Ying, once grown up, could marry Chu Molin. But after Chu Molin left, he gave up on the idea. Now it wasn’t bad that his other daughter was married to him.

“My most satisfying person, could it be him.” Qin Huaihe wondered who his favourite person was, no one else but Chu Molin.

“Yes, it is Chu Molin. Speaking of which, they came to our compound last time, but unfortunately, I was unable to confirm their identities, so there were no further interactions.” Qin Lang recalled that at that time, he had just begun his investigation, which was later interrupted.

Thinking about it, he was frustrated because the date of Nangong Shulan’s arrival to Qin’s Village had been altered, as were the birth dates of Qin Xue and her siblings, which made his investigation impossible.

However, hard work eventually paid off, and he managed to solve the mystery. In hindsight, he owed much to the midwife.

After he had met Chu Molin and his family in the Imperial Capital, he couldn’t let it go. The facts were clear, but the evidence was still lacking. Therefore, he took advantage of a business trip to reorganize the case and investigate once more, eventually, he found a key figure.

Ironically, he had just left the police station one day, intending to question the villagers at Qin’s Village about the circumstances of Nangong Shulan’s arrival, when he heard that someone was giving birth ahead, and the midwife hadn’t arrived yet. Being a soldier, his sense of justice didn’t allow him to ignore the situation.

After going over, he realized that due to her old age, the midwife had difficulty moving quickly, which was why she had yet to arrive. The villagers lacked awareness about the importance of hospital births, so they usually gave birth at home.

Their village wasn’t far from Qin’s Village, one could walk there within fifteen minutes. Thus, several villages all relied on the same midwife for births.

When Qin Lang heard that all these villages had the same midwife, he wondered if she had been the one to deliver the babies twenty years ago. So, after confirming her address, he volunteered to fetch her.

Halfway there, he met the woman they’d described. After confirming that she was the one he was looking for, he carried her towards the midwife’s house, and on the way he tactfully broached the subject of the events twenty years prior.

At first, the woman was tight-lipped, but he was relentless, and in the end, certainly, Qin Lang won.

It turned out that Nangong Shulan’s childbirth story was as follows: Nangong Shulan arrived in Qin’s Village already one month pregnant, and the reason Qin Yu married Nangong Shulan so quickly was because of the baby in her belly.

Due to only one month’s difference, the villagers wouldn’t have paid attention to such a minor detail. When Nangong Shulan was about to give birth, because she was carrying twins, her stomach was much larger than a normal pregnant woman’s, so when she gave birth, she said she had prematurely given birth due to carelessness, when in fact, she had given birth at full term.

As an experienced midwife, she could easily tell whether a baby was premature or full term. So they gave the midwife US$ 10 to keep this secret.
