Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 109: Greed

The jeep moved slowly on the road, with a police car following behind.

Sheng Zexi looked at the child silently crying in the passenger seat beside him and frowned slightly. This kid really cried a lot. Are all kids such crybabies?

Would his and Ningning’s future child be a crybaby too?

No, definitely not.

This child cried because he was bullied and deceived.

In the future, if anyone (except Ningning) makes his child cry, he’d break their head.

Seeing the child’s red and swollen eyes from the corner of his eye, Sheng Zexi asked, "Kid, why are you crying?"

The silently weeping Qin Tian was startled and quietly glanced at Sheng Zexi.

Why was he crying?

Naturally crying because it turned out his guess was right, his parents, though working for the country, had not forgotten them and Granny, sending money back every month for eight years.

His parents still wished for them to live well.

Qin Tian didn’t answer, so Sheng Zexi continued, "Cry for a while, but you can’t be a crybaby."

"With your parents not at home, you are the only man in the family, you have to hold up the family."

"If you’ve been deceived and bullied, then you should fight back, crying won’t help."

"If you’re crying because you were genuinely wronged, then don’t; is it worth crying for bad people?"

"You should be thankful that Ningning helped expose the situation today, the truth is out, and the police will deal with that person. Without Ningning, who knows how much longer you’d have been kept in the dark." He couldn’t forget to credit his wife for this.

Although his wife might not care about such things, Sheng Zexi did.

Today’s matter was Ningning’s achievement.

"Dry your tears, no more crying." Perhaps because he’d been training soldiers for too long, Sheng Zexi’s tone carried a hint of command, but seeing the child’s pouting mouth beside him, he followed Gu Jia Ning’s example and softened his tone, awkwardly comforting, "Things will get better."

Sheng Zexi’s words were like sunlight breaking through clouds, dispelling Qin Tian’s sadness and confusion.

Thinking about it, he realized Brother Sheng was right.

With his parents not at home, he was indeed the only man in the family holding it up.

Moreover, it seemed Uncle De, no, Qin De was a bad person, so he wasn’t worth crying over.

Having encountered Sister Gu, and Brother Sheng, who repeatedly helped them, he had to remember it firmly in his heart and tell his parents when they returned one day.

With no more bad people, life at home should no longer be difficult, right?

Qin Tian clenched his small fists, and stopped crying.

Seeing from the corner of his eye that the child had stopped crying, Sheng Zexi’s eyes gradually showed determination, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Kao Mountain Village’s Qin Family.

After Sheng Zexi left with Qin Tian, Granny Qin drank the medicine and fell asleep again.

It was Qin Qing who cooked some corn porridge and was drinking it. To treat Granny, the money had long been spent, and some remaining was exchanged for coarse grains. Now, the Qin family had corn porridge for every meal, and she invited Gu Jia Ning for a drink.

But Gu Jia Ning refused.

For one, she wasn’t hungry, and for another, corn porridge scratches the throat, she was too delicate to drink it.

Whether at home, or now with Sheng Zexi in the Northwest Military Region, she had never drunk it.

The two chatted sporadically.

Until they heard brakes outside, Qin Qing reacted at once, and stood up.

When Sheng Zexi’s voice came from outside, Qin Qing hurriedly went to open the door.

Gu Jia Ning watched Sheng Zexi approach from a distance, nodding at him and then looking at Qin Tian, whose eyes were still red. She roughly understood the outcome.

Indeed, the future scenes she glimpsed were not wrong.

Meanwhile, at home, Qin De was still contemplating how to coax Qin Tian into agreeing to go to Min City.

"Dad, you should make Qin Tian’s family move out quickly, I want to live in a big house." Qin De’s son, eating braised pork heartily, urged.

Qin De’s wife also chimed in, "Husband, when can we spend money openly?"

Qin De’s wife knew her husband had money. Their family was originally poor and without any work, suddenly becoming rich and living well would arouse suspicion, so even eating meat was done secretly.

Qin De smoked a rare Da Qianmen cigarette and replied, "Soon, soon."

As long as the old and the young of the Qin Family, all three, were dealt with, and they moved into the Qin Family house, there would be no worries.

Speaking of which, the Qin De family was poor.

But later, Qin De took the money sent by Qin Zhihong’s couple, and their family was not poor anymore, or rather, they appeared poor on the surface, but actually, they could sometimes wear new clothes and eat meat.

Initially, Granny Qin asked him to help go to the post office to check if Qin Zhihong’s couple had sent money back. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Qin De went, and it turned out they did, sending back 70 yuan a month.

yuan, meanwhile, the Qin De family hadn’t saved up this amount.

"This money, it might be sent every month in the future." At the time, Lu Ping muttered this.

And Lu Ping was Qin De’s brother-in-law.

It was Lu Ping’s words that planted the greed for the Qin Family’s money in Qin De’s heart.

Qin De didn’t know where Qin Zhihong’s couple had gone; he had asked Granny Qin, but the old lady wouldn’t say.

Qin De was deep in gambling debts at the time; he owed a lot, and coincidentally, he was told if he didn’t repay soon, his limbs would be broken.

His wife also said if he didn’t have money, she’d run off with someone else.

So, Qin De gritted his teeth, conspired with Lu Ping, and they embezzled the money, splitting it between them.

Having embezzled it for a month led to two months, then three months...

Until now, it was eight years.

At first, Qin De was worried, afraid Qin Zhihong’s couple would return, afraid the ruse would be exposed.

But as the years went by, there was no news from Qin Zhihong’s couple.

Qin De thought they might never return; maybe he’d receive this "salary" monthly indefinitely.

So the money he had initially stashed and dared not use, he started spending.

It wasn’t until recently when Qin De had a nightmare.

In the dream, Qin Zhihong’s couple returned and harshly punished him for what he’d done.

Qin De woke up in a fright, then began pondering how to handle this matter.

"As long as the Qin Family has no more people, even if Qin Zhihong returns with suspicion, there will be no evidence."

"Yes, exactly."

So, Qin De, determined, began plotting the demise of the three Qin Family members.

Regarding Granny Qin, she was old, not in good health; dying of illness would be easy.

It was the two children...

In the end, Qin De got in touch with human traffickers and fabricated a lie about learning carpentry in Min City to coax Qin Tian into being trafficked.
