Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1438: Chapter 842: Decision (2)

”Yes, Second Sister-in-law, I’m actually here about this matter, we...” Sixth Aunt lowered her voice, ”Shall we go inside to talk?”

Mrs. Qi could tell from her expression why she came, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness. Over the years, dozens, if not a hundred, people had come to propose for Yue Qin.

Initially, she and her husband thought that since Yue Qin was still young and couldn’t stay trapped in this family, they should persuade her to remarry. But Yue Qin was determined not to leave, even threatening with her life if pushed too hard. With no other choice, the couple decided to give it time.

That delay lasted two years until one day their younger son expressed his intentions to them, leaving the couple completely stunned!

They knew how good Yue Qin was, and on the day of the marriage, they had given her a chance to back out, which she declined.

They also knew that the eldest son and daughter-in-law had never truly consummated the marriage; however, if the younger son married the daughter-in-law, it would surely lead to rumors.

They couldn’t possibly write out the entire story to explain to everyone, could they? So, at the time, they were utterly furious, and Yue Qin’s devotion to the family seemed to vanish in an instant.

In their view, the reason she worked so hard for the family was to eventually rekindle her past relationship with their younger son, something they could not forgive under any circumstances.

If they weren’t so concerned about saving face, they would have kicked Yue Qin out immediately. Eventually, it was Granny Qi who resolved the deadlock.

Granny Qi asked them, ”Do you think Yue Qin had the foresight to know the eldest son would have problems before marrying into the Qi Family? That the second son would marry her?

If she weren’t genuinely kind to the eldest son, would he have adopted Yan’er to appease the outsiders? What kind of temperament does Xiao Xing have? Can you change something he decides?”

Although Granny’s words didn’t completely convince the couple, they were well aware of the younger son’s stubborn nature. If they didn’t agree, this child might truly remain unmarried for life.

Yan’er was not a biological granddaughter of the Qi Family. If the younger son didn’t marry, wouldn’t the Qi Family lineage end there?

After weighing the options, they agreed, only to find that they were blocked by Yue Qin. She admitted that she married into the Qi family for Qi Xing, but since she had become the wife of the eldest brother, by no means could she marry the second brother.

Then, the second brother put a gun to his head, saying if she didn’t agree, he’d shoot himself, and only then did they peacefully manage to get the paperwork done.

Once the paperwork was in hand, the second brother confessed the gun was fake, explaining that during visitation, carrying a real gun wasn’t allowed...

In any case, the marriage of Yue Qin and the second brother was full of twists and turns. Even to this day, they dare not publicly acknowledge it, as while they can come to terms with it, the sheer weight of rumors can be overwhelming!

Because of this, proposals continued over the years. Initially, they sought Yue Qin, and after hitting numerous dead ends, people switched their approach to start with the old couple.

If Yue Qin weren’t so capable and good-natured, she wouldn’t attract so much attention. Then again, without these traits, she wouldn’t have married into the Qi Family, nor would she have remarried into it.

But the problem is, how long will these days last? Now, not only Yue Qin is aggrieved, but they also feel pressured, with outsiders perpetually gossiping that the couple is too selfish, unwilling to let Yue Qin marry out.

After they went inside, Sixth Aunt spoke directly, ”Second Sister-in-law, I won’t beat around the bush. I just want to ask you straightforwardly, what exactly is your plan with Second Brother for Yue Qin?”

”What other plan could there be? The child has had a hard life, lost her parents young, lost her grandparents midway, and since marrying into our family, she has been worrying about this whole big family.

Sixth Aunt, I know you sincerely care for Qinzi, but for that child’s matter, I really can’t make the decision.”

”Second Sister-in-law, if you and Second Brother decide to let Qinzi marry, can she really just linger here? Yan’er isn’t her biological daughter, and it shouldn’t be hard for her, an unmarried person, to marry out and have a good life.

The one interested in Qinzi is my cousin from my maternal family. A few days ago, Qinzi was on a delivery and ran into him, and just like that, they hit it off.

My cousin is tall, good-looking, never been married, and he said he doesn’t mind that Qinzi has been married before. He just values Qinzi’s good character and her filial nature.
