Become a burden in a period novel

When he was little, he didn't quite understand and thought that Qin Fang was worried that others would suspect her and that she would implicate them and be unable to protect them.

Of course, that was her explanation back then. Now that I think about it, it was just that she was afraid her sister's words would make others suspect her and ruin her life.

She didn't actually have to remarry. Her father had arranged everything. Qin Fang changed her name, and she and her brother changed their surnames and weren't registered in the Xu family's genealogy. Her father also found her a job and left her a lot of easily convertible money.

That's more than enough to support his family of three. Once things calm down, with the help of his father's friends, they can live a good life.

But she still chose to remarry. Not long after she learned of her father's death, she knew she had no one to rely on, so she began looking for a new husband.

Fifth Uncle? The fifth son of the Xu family! Qin Fang naturally remembered that he was a very innocent boy back then. He loved to come to their courtyard and would enthusiastically call her "Third Sister-in-law". He would also help her take care of Jing Chu.

But she also remembered how much the fifth son of the Xu family admired and relied on Xu Huai'an.

Qin Fang's face paled, but then she smiled again. "Your fifth uncle is back. That's good. Did he say anything about changing your surname back? And the family genealogy? You and Wang Shu aren't on the genealogy yet."

"Do you still remember Wang Shu?" Qin Jingchu's face showed a mocking expression. "Wang Shu was abandoned by you a long time ago, wasn't she? She clearly didn't need to go to the countryside, but you forced her to. She was so young then, but she had to go to the countryside to make a living."

"That's because she was disobedient. Besides, how could she suffer when she went to the countryside? She brought so much money with her, and you even sent her allowances. She's probably living a very comfortable life!" Hearing Qin Jingchu mention Qin Wangshu, Qin Fang couldn't control her temper.

"I already said that as long as she goes to the countryside for a few years, I'll give her my job, and she can come back." At that time, she didn't know she would get pregnant. If she had known that she could get pregnant at that age, she definitely wouldn't have let Qin Wangshu go to the countryside.

Wang Li is useless; she not only can't take care of her, but she also makes her suffer. If it were Qin Wangshu who stayed, things would be different.

Qin Wangshu has been doing housework since she was very young. If she were given a job, she would definitely bring back her salary, and with the allowance sent back by Qin Jingchu, her life would definitely be much better.

Moreover, Qin Wangshu has always been obedient and is quite good-looking. When she gets older, we can find someone to marry her off and get a large dowry in return. They can also take care of her then.

Qin Jingchu naturally had no idea what Qin Fang was thinking. If he did, he would probably be disgusted by Qin Fang's shamelessness and would not want to have anything to do with this mother anymore.

"How many years did she go to the countryside? I'm afraid if she really went to the countryside as you said, she might not even live long enough to take over your job." Qin Jingchu had asked about the events of that year in detail. Qin Wangshu only reported the good news and didn't say anything bad to him, but he had also asked the people here.

When Qin Wangshu went to the countryside, she prepared everything herself; Qin Fang didn't prepare anything for her at all. Even if she was angry with Qin Wangshu at the time and didn't prepare anything, she could have sent her some money later, but she didn't.

"Do you really treat us like your own children?" Qin Jingchu looked into Qin Fang's eyes.

He had grown very tall and was no longer the child who needed his mother. The temperament he had developed in the military camp carried a natural sense of pressure, making Qin Fang unconsciously somewhat afraid of this son.

"How could I not treat you as my own child? I gave birth to you all. I carried you for ten months, and I even had a massive hemorrhage when I gave birth to Qin Wangshu, almost losing my life..." She started talking about her hardships again.

"Please don't say these things. Wang Shu has broken off her relationship with you, and she's married now, belonging to someone else's family. As for me, the allowances I sent you are enough to pay back the expenses you incurred on me." Qin Jingchu closed his eyes slightly.

He had heard Qin Fang say these things many, many times. She always talked to them about the hardships she faced when she was pregnant with them, the severe bleeding during the birth of Wang Shu, and the difficulties she faced raising them alone.

Because he felt sorry for her hardships, he and Wang Shu readily accepted her remarriage. But he was no longer a child; she could no longer deceive him.

"What, what do you mean by this?!" Qin Fang's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe what Qin Jingchu was saying.

"It's nothing. You're not that old, and Uncle Wang will take care of you. When you really need to support yourself in your old age, I will take on that responsibility. But you don't only have me as a son, and I will be just as filial to you then." Qin Jingchu paused.

"As for Wang Shu, since you've already given up on her, then don't bother looking for her anymore. But I suppose you wouldn't even consider her anyway, since the man she married was from the very place where she was sent down to the countryside, a retired soldier, not worth your time!"

Qin Fang understood. After her daughter severed ties with her, her eldest son would also come and sever ties with her.

He also mentioned the daughter, presumably to stand up for his sister!
