Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 33: The Crime of Gender 33

Little Chen was very afraid of Mr. Qin. Although she was completely unwilling to give the money, she had no choice but to glare fiercely at Qin Shuangshuang and go to her room to fetch five taels of silver, which she handed to Qin Shuangshuang.

Qin Shuangshuang took the money and didn’t stay in the main house any longer. She left and returned to her own room. Qin Shuangshuang disliked the people in this house. If it weren’t for having no money, she wouldn’t co here to argue with Mr. Qin and look at these annoying faces.

The room was filled with the sll of dicine. Mrs. Bai was simring dicine for the Eldest Lady. The dicine was a kind gift from the doctor, who had prepared two doses and suggested giving them to the Eldest Lady first!

The Eldest Lady lay on the bed. She seed to be awake, but her expression was one of half-consciousness, looking weak and fatigued. The Eldest Lady had always been sowhat frail, and now her injuries seed to have drained her spirit severely.

Qin Shuangshuang sighed. In her previous life, her family never experienced such a fire incident, so until Little Chen married off the Eldest Lady, she managed to live sowhat well; she was not beaten much, didn’t eat well but wasn’t too starved either. So in her previous life, Qin Shuangshuang always felt that the Eldest Lady was luckier than her.

Now, looking at it again, Qin Shuangshuang realized she was much luckier than the Eldest Lady, because she had a mother who loved her dearly, willing to endure all hardships to the best of her ability to make her life better. As for the Eldest Lady, she actually had nothing!

The dicine was ready. Mrs. Bai held the Eldest Lady up, and Qin Shuangshuang slowly fed the cooled dicine to her. The Eldest Lady had injuries in her chest and abdon, and each swallow brought pained expressions on her face.

But the Eldest Lady didn’t make a fuss. Leaning in Mrs. Bai’s arms, she drank very obediently. Despite the bitterness, she drank it all without making any noise or dodging.

Afterwards, Qin Shuangshuang fed the Eldest Lady so at porridge, and this ti, the Eldest Lady drank eagerly!

at was not often eaten in the family, and even when there was, the Eldest Lady couldn’t get much, and girls could hardly eat any at at all. Hence, the at porridge tasted extrely delicious to the Eldest Lady, and she drank two big bowls one after another, looking longingly at the pot with the at porridge when she couldn’t eat any more.

Qin Shuangshuang then smiled and said, "There’s plenty of porridge. If you haven’t had enough, big sister, we can continue eating it tomorrow morning."

The Eldest Lady’s face flushed slightly, and she looked at Qin Shuangshuang with affection and reliance. She still rembered that when her own father kicked her flying and her mother continued to beat her without rcy, it was this sister, who previously was not so close to her, that protected her.

Later, she even called a doctor to treat and give her dicine. In the Eldest Lady’s heart, after being utterly disillusioned with her parents, she was full of gratitude towards Qin Shuangshuang who gave her warmth and help, and she couldn’t help but start relying on Qin Shuangshuang, who had always been mature despite her young age!

Early the next morning, Qin Shuangshuang took the silver given by Mr. Qin and caught Uncle He’s cart to the doctor’s clinic in town. She bought all the dicines needed for treating the Eldest Lady’s illness at once.

After buying the dicine, five taels of silver turned into only four qian. Qin Shuangshuang used the remaining silver to buy so salt, seasonings, and a large basket of eggs.

Salt was very expensive, and aside from a set of pots and bowls, the oil, salt, and seasonings in the main house were never allowed for Mrs. Bai to use. The dishes Qin Shuangshuang made during her recovery period relied entirely on the salty flavor of bacon to have any taste, and the eggs were bought for the Eldest Lady to nourish her body; Qin Shuangshuang did not intend to compete for food.

On the way ho, Qin Shuangshuang kept thinking about how to live in the future. Many things had happened recently, and now she had almost completely fallen out with the Old Qin Family. Although she still temporarily had no shortage of at, she had nothing else.

The granary was locked by Old Chen. Every ti Mrs. Bai went to ask for rice and grain, Old Chen would say many unpleasant words before reluctantly giving a small handful. That portion was not even enough for Qin Shuangshuang alone.

If she went to argue, she might get the rice and grain. But constantly arguing was not a proper solution. Her good reputation was largely due to her never openly contradicting her elders in front of others and always appearing very filial to Old Chen.

One, no matter how seniors treated her, never complained and remained filial at a young age; the other, no matter how filial the granddaughter was, always treated her harshly, constantly scolding and finding fault, hitting aggressively, anyone who saw would side with the younger one.

But if she quarreled too much with Old Chen, it would inevitably be heard by others. Old Chen’s reputation was already bad for overdoing things, and her contradicting once or twice would be fine. However, if it happened often, even if people still thought Old Chen was an unkind elder, they would inevitably whisper that she, the granddaughter, was also not sufficiently filial.

She couldn’t make trouble, Old Chen wouldn’t give food, and from the looks of Mr. Qin and Little Chen, they seed to completely ignore and not care about whether the Eldest Lady ate well or how her injuries were. It seed they had utterly abandoned the Eldest Lady, and she couldn’t just watch the Eldest Lady starve to death.

The food for three mouths had to be figured out. Qin Shuangshuang thought about it and decided she had to go into the mountains to find things to sell in town for money to buy rice, flour, grains, and oil. She was reluctant to let her mother endure Old Chen’s harsh words!

Qin Shuangshuang’s injuries were not severe. Mrs. Bai had cared for her with utmost consideration. With good food and drink nourishing her, her body had actually recovered, with even the scars left being very faint, a shallow long line that was barely noticeable.

Qin Shuangshuang felt she had completely recovered and that there was nothing major. However, when she proposed to go into the mountains, Mrs. Bai strongly opposed it and refused to agree no matter how much Qin Shuangshuang explained.

Mainly, Mrs. Bai was terrified by Qin Shuangshuang’s previous condition. She always felt that since Qin Shuangshuang had bled so much before, even if the external injury healed, having lost so much blood, the internal wounds must not have fully recovered.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn’t persuade Mrs. Bai and could only reluctantly dispel the thought for the ti being, continuing to recuperate. Anyway, they still had a lot of bacon at ho, and she had bought a good amount of salt this ti, enough for her, the Eldest Lady, and Mrs. Bai for a period.

In recent days, Old Chen had been exhausted from turning the fields. Though she only worked for half a day, with Little Chen doing most of the work, she couldn’t entirely rest and had to do so work even if a little. For soone who hadn’t done work for a long ti, any labor felt particularly tiring.

Adding her advanced age, the first day left her dead tired, and resting for an afternoon and evening was not sufficient to recover. When a person is tired, their temper is particularly volatile. The angrier Old Chen got, the more she resented Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai, scolding especially harshly whenever Mrs. Bai went to ask for grain.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn’t stand letting her mother suffer this mistreatnt every day. Anyway, there was still a lot of bacon at ho, so she took half of it to town to sell at the market for so money and bought rice, flour, and eggs back, to save Mrs. Bai from listening to Old Chen’s insults every day.

Thus, nearly a month passed, and the family’s at and grain had dwindled again. Under Qin Shuangshuang’s repeated assurances that she had fully recovered, Mrs. Bai reluctantly agreed to let Qin Shuangshuang go into the mountains.

Stepping onto the long-awaited mountain, Qin Shuangshuang felt a deep sense of familiarity. She knew every corner of this mountain very well. In the mountains, it was like she had returned to another ho of hers.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but lift her head, taking a deep breath in pleasant distraction and relaxation. However, before she could exhale, she suddenly heard a sharp whistling!

Qin Shuangshuang widened her eyes and saw an arrow, with a glittering sharp tip, shooting like lightning straight towards her!
