Chapter 46: The Fierce Han Shi

“Now, tell me, what are you up to?”

Qin Xi stood under a tree and had no intention of going further.

Qin Lan glared at Qin Xi, her eyes filled with grievance. “Xi, I’m your sister after all. How can you help an outsider bully me and make fun of me?”

“Outsider? Who is the outsider you talk about?” Qin Xi turned to look at her. Her eyes were as black as bottomless well, making Qin Lan feel like she was going to get sucked into it.

Qin Lan shook her head and said melancholically, “Who else could it be? You shouldn’t have said that to me just now.”

Qin Xi said with a faint smile, “Why shouldn’t I? Also, Did I say anything wrong?”

“You…”

Qin Lan was suddenly lost for words and her hatred for Qin Xi became stronger. “Forget it, you’re my sister after all!”

“Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll go back!” Qin Xi did not want to be under the scorching sun to listenher talk nonsense.

Qin Lan gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Qin Xi, you’ve changed. You’ve become someone I don’t recognize. You are not talking to me like you used to.”

“It seems like you really have nothing to say. Then I’ll excuse myself.” Qin Xi turned to leave.

Qin Lan panicked and quickly caught up with her. “Alright, alright. What’s the hurry? I’ll tell you, alright?”

Qin Xi pretended to be all ears.

Qin Lan bit her lower lip and said with tears in her eyes, “Xi, as you know, I’ve been married for half a year, but I still haven’t gotten pregnant. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that my health is not in good condition and it’s not easy for me to get pregnant. I…”

She wiped her tears. Before Qin Xi could sympathize with her and ask, she continued, “The doctor prescribed me some medicines. He said that I’ll get pregnant after two months if I take the medicines, but I don’t have the money to buy them. I heard that Grandma gave you 400 yuan. Can you lend me the money? When I get pregnant, I’ll definitely pay you back double!”

“Am I your mother?”

Qin Xi’s sudden question caught Qin Lan, who was trying her best to act, off guard. She was furious. “Xi, is that how you are supposed to talk to me?”

Qin Xi sneered. “What’s wrong with the way I talk to you? I’m not your mother. Why should I care about you? It’s none of my business whether you’re pregnant or not. You’re not pregnant with my grandson, are you? Pay me back double? Do you think the relationship between us is worth 400? It’s not worth a single scent.”

“You…” Qin Lan

Qin Xi rolled her eyes. “You what? Am I wrong in saying that? Does it have anything to do with me whether you’re pregnant or not? You are not seeking help from your husband or your mother, but instead, you came to seek help from me? Do I look like an idiot?”

Qin Lan was furious. She didn’t want to pretend anymore and threatened in a sharp voice, “Qin Xi, you little b*tch. I’ll make this clear today. If you don’t give me the money, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

“Tsk, it’s hard to say who’s gonna teach who a lesson?” Qin Xi said coldly.

Hearing the quarrel, Han Shi jumped out and pushed Qin Lan away. He said fiercely, “What are you doing? Stay away from my wife. You split your saliva all over my wife. It’s so dirty!”

Qin Xi was speechless.

Qin Lan staggered and almost fell. She pointed at Qin Xi and Han Shi, her chest heaving with anger. She gritted her teeth and threatened, “Alright, Qin Xi, just you wait. I’ll make you regret it and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.”

With that, she turned around and left. Qin Xi narrowed her eyes and took out the small stone she had just dug out from the mud wall from her pocket and shot it at Qin Lan’s ankle.

Qin Lan, who was stomping away angrily, was about to turn the corner when she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her ankle. She was caught off guard and fell forward.

At this moment, at the other end of the corner, an old bachelor who reeked of alcohol walked over leisurely.
