Become a burden in a period novel

“Wang Shu is the older sister, so it’s only right that she takes care of her younger brother.” Besides, Xu Nian is actually quite easy to take care of; she lives at the school and doesn’t tell anyone about her relationship with Qin Wang Shu.

Actually, the cousins ​​that Fifth Uncle brought back to China were all quite nice, and they were very friendly with him and Wang Shu. It was clear that they really wanted to be close to him and Wang Shu.

“That’s true.” Xu Huaici liked Qin Jingchu’s attitude; he truly treated them like family, which was why he was so informal.

"So, are you planning to spend the New Year at the old house, or with Wang Shu?" There's not much time left until the New Year, and he really wants Qin Jingchu to stay here for the holiday, but he also knows that Qin Jingchu probably prefers to spend it with Qin Wang Shu.

"Let's keep her at the old house. After all, Wang Shu is already married," Qin Jingchu sighed.

His leave this time was quite long, and since it was almost Chinese New Year, his supervisor included the Spring Festival in the leave approval process.

The leader's generosity was not only due to Qin Jingchu being an older single man, but also related to Qin Wangshu.

Since Qin Wangshu started contacting veterans, he has found jobs for many soldiers, especially those who had been injured.

This kind of job is enough for them to live with dignity. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Qin Jingchu and his colleagues wanted to help their comrades, but their abilities were limited; they could only provide some money and goods, which couldn't solve their problems at all.

But Qin Wangshu's help was different; it truly gave them the means to make a living, ensuring they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to support their families as long as they worked hard.

Qin Wangshu's achievements were naturally noticed by those above, and the leaders had a very good impression of him. This was one of the reasons why they took the initiative to send him an invitation to the Canton Fair. Of course, the most important reason was that Qin Wangshu really could earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

As Qin Wangshu's only brother, he asked for leave to attend his sister's wedding, so naturally, he should be granted a long leave.

"Fifth Uncle, what did you do?" Qin Jingchu looked at Xu Huaici, who had always been very kind to him, and suddenly asked.

Xu Huaici was taken aback, wondering what Qin Jingchu was talking about. "Hmm?"

Weren't we just talking about Xu Nian? He only agreed to let Xu Nian return to China to study; he didn't do anything else.

"I'm talking about my mother's side. You must have been involved, right?" Qin Jingchu looked Xu Huaici in the eyes. Someone must have been involved there, otherwise, things wouldn't have changed so much in such a short time.

When they went to retrieve those things, Qin Fang and Wang Jianguo were still on good terms, especially Qin Fang and her youngest son, who were living comfortably with the things their father had left behind.

How much time has passed, and the situation has completely changed. And the only person capable of doing this is the Fifth Uncle in front of us.

Xu Huaici coughed lightly, then avoided Qin Jingchu's gaze, "I...I didn't do anything."

Qin was his sister-in-law. Although she had remarried, she had still given birth to two children for his third brother. He attacked her out of resentment, but he couldn't bring himself to admit it to his nephew.

Most importantly, he was afraid Qin Jingchu would stop him. Wang Shu was completely heartbroken by Qin Shi, and if she knew he was doing these things, she would probably applaud him. But Jingchu was different; Qin Shi wanted him to take care of her in her old age, so she treated him quite well.

Xu Huaici was worried that Qin Jingchu wouldn't be able to part with that woman, so she took matters into her own hands and kept it all a secret from Qin Jingchu.

“Your mother is a selfish woman. She doesn’t need me to do anything for her.” Xu Huaici said this with great confidence.

He simply had someone find some business opportunities for Wang Jianguo, but while these opportunities could be profitable, they required a lot of hard work.

Money earned through hard work is certainly not something one would want others to waste. Qin Fang was able to win over Wang Jianguo precisely because she was gentle, considerate, and had no "selfish motives."

At that time, she was only obedient to Wang Jianguo because she had the support left to her by her third brother and because she didn't have a child.

But now that Qin Fang has lost her job and Xu Huai'an's inheritance, she naturally needs to get money from Wang Jianguo. In addition, she feels that since she gave birth to Wang Jianguo's son, her attitude towards him is no longer as submissive as before.

Such an attitude naturally made Wang Jianguo, who has always been somewhat chauvinistic, very uncomfortable. At this time, the appearance of a parasitic woman would naturally make him dissatisfied with the one at home.

Although he arranged for that woman to be with him, there was nothing he could do if Wang Jianguo didn't walk into the trap.

Xu Huaici understood the mindset of such a person. A somewhat chauvinistic man, after experiencing the low point of unemployment and then making money again, especially more than before, had his confidence inflated even further.

If someone appears at this time who is completely dependent on you and sees you as their salvation, how could you not be tempted, especially since that woman is also quite good-looking?

With a confidante outside the home, the wife at home naturally began to become tiresome. Qin Fang was always good at acting, but now she was distracted by the news of the Xu family's return and didn't have much energy left to continue her act.

Feeling the disparity in his expectations, Wang Jianguo was naturally very disappointed in Qin Fang, seeing her as the perfect opportunity for another woman. Sure enough, this is exactly what's happening now; he increasingly dislikes the home where they immediately ask him for money, and instead prefers the house he found for that other woman.

That woman has her own money, so she doesn't need him to provide any material support. On the contrary, she can provide him with a lot of emotional value. It's obvious who she favors.

"So, Fifth Uncle, you really did do something." Qin Jingchu felt a mix of emotions, and he didn't know how to resolve the matter after guessing this possibility.

"What, are you still angry with your fifth uncle?"

Xu Huaici's words were tantamount to admitting that he had indeed done something, and Qin Jingchu was somewhat at a loss for words.

"I'm not angry with you, but shouldn't you have told me beforehand?" Qin Jingchu said helplessly.

"If I told you in advance, would you really lay a hand on your mother?" After all, she was his mother, and Xu Huaici understood his difficulties.

Qin Jingchu didn't need to do anything; that was his mother. He just needed to stop protecting Qin Fang.

"I..." Qin Jingchu didn't know if he would lay a hand on his mother, and he was very conflicted.

However, he had already made up his mind to stop interfering with her. His questioning of Xu Huaici was merely to confirm whether he had indeed attacked Qin Fang and the others. Both sides were his family, putting him in a difficult position; it seemed that favoring either side was wrong.
