Born in the 1980s, she was remarried and became a stepmother; a cold, rough man doted on her, pinchi

Chapter 4 is all washed up?
Qin Ziqiang quickly escalated the situation, bringing up his deceased parents in just a few sentences.

Jiang Man's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she turned to look at Qin Yishen.

She had expected to see a hesitant look on his face, but to her surprise, Qin Yishen reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.

"Big brother, how dare you mention Mom and Dad?"

Jiang Man didn't know the reason, but he clearly saw that Sun Meifen and Qin Ziqiang's eyes became unnatural.

“Before I enlisted, I entrusted my two children to your care because I trusted you. I haven’t been back much these past two years, but I’m not blind. I can see that my two children are not as lively and cheerful as other children, and they are also very thin.”

Qin Yishen's voice was low and deep, and his words made Sun Meifen and Qin Ziqiang's faces turn even paler.

Qin Ziqiang felt he had been humiliated by Qin Yishen, so he retorted stubbornly, "So what! I'm your own brother, and Xiaohua is your own nephew. How can you be siding with outsiders! These two kids aren't yours—"

Seeing that the word was about to be uttered, Qin Yishen's eyes darkened and he stepped forward.

Unexpectedly, a slender figure darted past him, and then a basin of suspicious yellow liquid was splashed on Qin Ziqiang's head, even Sun Meifen, who was standing on his side, was not spared.

"Aaaaaah, what is this thing? It's so sexy!"

Sun Meifen screamed in despair. Qin Ziqiang sniffed it, then his expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Jiang Man: "You bitch, how dare you splash me with your piss!"

As he spoke, Qin Ziqiang was about to make a move.

Qin Yishen immediately stepped in front of Jiang Man, clearly intending to support her.

Qin Ziqiang's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit. It would be strange if his lazy and gluttonous body could beat Qin Yishen!

"Qin Yishen, you should think this through. I am your elder brother, and Jiang Man is just your newlywed wife. Since ancient times, what man hasn't taught his woman a lesson!"

"She just peed all over me, and you're actually protecting her! What do you mean by that?!"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" Qin Yishen's dark pupils stared intently at Qin Ziqiang. "Besides, the fault today wasn't hers. Shouldn't you apologize to my two children first?"

"That's right, Boss Qin! Today is Yi Shen's big day, what are you guys doing!"

"Even children shouldn't play like this. Look at the rope and tape on the ground. That cabinet is so small, aren't you afraid the child will suffocate?"

"Your son is immature, but aren't you two, as his parents, also immature?"

"I heard Qin Ziqiang is running for custodian. With children raised like this, who would dare entrust their children to him?"

Hearing the murmurs around her, Sun Meili immediately tugged at Qin Ziqiang's sleeve and whispered, "The vote is coming up soon, why don't you just admit your mistake today? Don't lose your job as the custodian because of this."

The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the village's collective assets, such as farm tools, seeds, and fertilizers.

The main task is to ensure the safety of materials, keep accurate records of materials entering and leaving the warehouse, and distribute materials reasonably according to production needs.

This job sounds easy, but if you do it well, you can actually make some extra money.

Besides, there are only so many farm tools now. If he becomes the storekeeper, who in the village will dare to look down on him in the future!
Qin Ziqiang straightened his back just thinking about it, looked at Jiang Man and snorted, then said to Qin Ziqiang, "Yishen, today was just a joke between children. I'll have Xiaohua apologize to these two kids and that'll be the end of it. How about that?"

Qin Yishen was still not satisfied after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the girl next to him tugging at his clothes.

“Okay,” Jiang Man said. “Today is my wedding day with Yi Shen. The whole village has come to the wedding banquet, and we don’t want things to get too awkward.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Meifen immediately pulled over her chubby son: "Quick, apologize to your younger brother and sister and say you won't play around like that again."

"I don't want it! I don't want an apology! It was clearly you guys... Waaaaaah..."

Qin Hua cried and refused to apologize, and just as he was about to blurt out the truth, Sun Meifen reached out and covered Qin Hua's mouth with one hand, while slapping his buttocks with the other. "You're so old and still don't know any better. I told you to apologize and you still won't. I think you deserve a beating!"

In an instant, the room was filled with Qin Hua's cries.

Qin Ziqiang didn't stop her, but said to Jiang Man, "Sister-in-law, are you satisfied with this?"

"What do you mean, 'Are you satisfied?' It's not like I told you to hit the child. I just want an apology," Jiang Man said, enunciating each word clearly. "An apology for our child!"

Our child...

These words made Qin Yishen's heart skip a beat.

He gripped the little girl's hand tightly, ignoring Qin Ziqiang, and said coldly to Qin Hua, "Qin Hua, come here and apologize."

Although Qin Hua was spoiled by his parents and became unruly, he was indeed afraid of Qin Yishen.

Upon hearing this, he immediately covered his bottom and walked over, apologizing to his younger siblings who were as thin as chicks: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

He said it reluctantly, but as soon as he finished, he covered his butt and ran away.

Jiang Man frowned; she couldn't very well drag the child back and apologize again.

She wants a good reputation, but she also wants Qin Hua and his parents to pay the price.

Seeing Qin Hua run out, Sun Meifen made an excuse to go find the child and left as well. Qin Ziqiang stayed behind to drink and eat with the others, but no one paid any attention to him.

The banquet lasted until late at night. As Jiang Man was tidying up the table, she didn't notice when she turned around and stepped on a bone, causing her to fall forward uncontrollably.

"Ahhhh-"

Qin Yishen had just come out when he saw this thrilling scene. He ran over in two steps, stretched out his arm, and grabbed Jiang Man's slender waist with his strong hand, pulling her into his arms.

Jiang Man opened her eyes, still shaken, and looked at Qin Yishen with a hint of panic in her eyes, but after realizing what was happening, her face suddenly turned red.

Now that we're closer, we can see Qin Yishen's eyes clearly; they are very deep, with dark, brooding pupils. His most striking feature is his nose, high and straight, which is very handsome.

The material under his hand felt hard, and Jiang Man's face turned completely red.

Qin Yishen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he released the person with great restraint.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Seeing Jiang Man's shy expression, a smile flashed in Qin Yishen's eyes.

"I've heated the bath water. You go take a bath first. I'll take care of everything else outside."

Jiang Man nodded. When she came out after taking a shower, she found that the yard was spotless, with not a single grain of rice on the ground.

"Has it been washed?"

Jiang Man turned around, her eyes momentarily blinded by the light.

Qin Yi's upper body was exposed to the air, his eight-pack abs were neatly arranged, his V-line was clearly defined, and crystal clear water droplets were flowing on his tanned skin.

Jiang Man swallowed hard; this scene was quite... impactful.

"It's all washed up."
