Chapter 245: Hiring a Hitman?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The reason she said that was only to remove herself from the situation and make her family feel more at ease.
“No.” To her surprise, Qin Dazhuang rejected her proposal.
It was indeed difficult for him to be ruthless to the entire Zhang family, but since things had come to this, he would rather be cold-blooded this once.
Although his daughter’s suggestion was good, the family’s money had been depleted, and he could not afford to hire a hitman.
In addition, even if he could afford it, he would not be willing to.
Notwithstanding the fact that the amount of money required would not be small, even if it was a small sum, someone would have a hold on their family.
He might as well do it himself.
If something really happened, he would assume responsibility for everything himself.
In any case, he was the root cause of all this trouble.
“I’ll handle this matter myself. You three siblings don’t interfere,” Qin Dazhuang said as if he had made up his mind.
Qin Xiaoyao frowned and was about to say something, but she was stopped by a look from Qin Erhu.
She realized that it was useless for her to insist, and her second brother seemed to have something to say to her.
Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and didn’t say anything.
“Then this matter is settled.”
“For the next two days, Dahu and Erhu, both of you should stay at home and not go anywhere!” Qin Dazhuang added.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu exchanged a glance and some unspoken words with their eyes, but they didn’t say anything more.
It was considered a tacit acknowledgment.
When he saw this, Qin Dazhuang’s expression became more relaxed. Then, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“You too. Go back to the Song family and stay at home obediently. Take care of your mother-in-law and husband,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao also exchanged a glance and some unspoken words with her eyes with her big brother and second brother.
“Okay,” she answered her father.
They would just humor him for the time being.
Only then did Qin Dazhuang become more at ease.
Following that, he asked Qin Erhu to send Qin Xiaoyao back to the Song family’s house.
Qin Dahu wanted to send his younger sister off, but Qin Dazhuang told him to stay at home.
Therefore, Qin Erhu sent Qin Xiaoyao out of the house.
After leaving the Qin family’s house, they walked for a while.
After making sure that their father had gone back and that there was no one around, the siblings immediately discussed the matter of hiring a hitman in a low voice.
That was right. Although Qin Dazhuang opposed Qin Xiaoyao’s earlier suggestion, Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu agreed with her somewhat.
It was not exactly a full agreement since the two brothers were actually thinking of carrying out the deed themselves.
However, now, their father had given the order that they were not allowed to go out.
In this case, hiring a hitman to carry out the deed became the most appropriate choice.
In short, they would never allow their father to go to the Zhang family’s place all alone.
Although the Zhang family was weak, they had many family members.
It would not be easy for their father to get rid of the entire family without anyone knowing.
“Younger Sis, do you already have some idea how to go about doing what you suggested just now?” Qin Erhu asked Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.
“Of course.
“Leave this matter to me. I’m 90% confident.”
What 90%? With her taking action personally, there would definitely be no slip-ups.
Qin Erhu’s eyes lit up.
“Really?”
Then, his face fell.
“How much does the other party want?” he asked.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at her second brother and laughed.
“Don’t worry about the money.
“I’ll make the arrangements.”
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao patted the back of Qin Erhu’s hand.
Qin Erhu immediately looked at his younger sister.
“But…” He really wanted to refuse his younger sister’s help, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it even though the words were on the tip of his tongue.
This was because if they didn’t hire a hitman, their father would have to do something stupid.
At that point, there was a high chance that things would go awry.
“No buts. When you go back, you and Big Brother help to hold Father back.
“Tonight, I’ll arrange for someone to go to the Zhang family’s village to settle the matter.”
“When the news comes back tomorrow, Father will see that the matter has been settled, so there is no need for him to take action anymore,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
It was not just the Zhang family. She also had to find an opportunity to get rid of the three mountain bandits that went to the Qin family today.
Only then could the Qin family remain completely safe without anyone knowing anything about what happened.
Qin Erhu thought for a while and finally nodded.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you for this. How much money is spent… Younger Sis, you help me and Big Brother pay for it first.
“We’ll definitely return this sum of money later!” Qin Erhu said firmly.
Once again, he was very grateful to his younger sister.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.
“Alright! Father doesn’t only belong to you and Big Brother.”
“And also, it was my idea to have Father divorce Madam Zhang.”
“I’m also responsible now that this issue has cropped up.”
“Just treat it that I’m tying up the loose ends.”
After talking to Qin Erhu for a while longer and rejecting his request to send her home, the siblings finally parted ways.
When she arrived at the Song family’s house, Qin Xiaoyao quickly slipped into the house.
When Song Que saw that his wife had returned, he looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitating. He put down his brush and sat down beside her.
Reaching out to pull his wife into his arms, the man’s face was full of affection.
“Didn’t you say that Second Sister-in-law has given a son to the Qin family? It should be a happy occasion. Why are you looking so troubled?”
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at her husband.
A hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
A moment later, she eventually told him.
“It’s a happy occasion, but something bad also occurred.”
She had to take action tonight, and once she went out, she could not do it behind her husband’s back.
After mulling over it for some time, she thought it might be better to tell the truth.
After all, after living with him over this period, she had already discovered that her husband was not really a kind and naively sweet person.
To put it bluntly, he was quite ruthless.
However, his ruthlessness was only reserved for outsiders.
This was actually very good. At least it suited her taste.
Song Que was stunned.
“What happened?” Then, he pretended to hug his wife as if nothing had happened.
“It’s Zhang Ershui,” Qin Xiaoyao finally said.
After that, she told Song Que what happened to the Qin family.
After she finished speaking, she even told Song Que about her plan.
When Song Que heard her plan, he was somewhat surprised.
He knew that his wife was bold and capable, and could do extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances.
However, when he heard that she was going to exterminate someone’s entire family, he was still a little shocked.
How should he put it? Other than shock, he was also worried.
In the depths of his heart, he was actually a little envious.
If he had his wife’s martial arts skills, perhaps, he would be able to live as confidently and freely as her.
Notwithstanding other things, just take for example that mountain bandit leader who was currently staying in the Mountain Spring Town’s government office. Song Que wanted quite badly to chop him up.
Of course, it was just a thought.
After all, in his current incarnation, he simply did not have that ability. Even more so, he couldn’t bear to let his wife take risks for him.
After explaining the situation, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Song Que with a “pitiful” expression.
She hoped to get Song Que’s permission.
Song Que was indeed pulling a long face.
However, he looked away very quickly.
After giving a sigh, he hugged Qin Xiaoyao.
“If I stop you, what will you do?” he asked.
In reality, he should feel assured of his wife’s ability, but he just didn’t want her to take the risk.
After all, her family needed her. And he needed her more…
When did it start? It seemed that he was almost unable to leave her side.
Qin Xiaoyao’s body froze.
Then, she whispered, “I can’t do anything. But I still have to go.”
Song Que was silent.
After a long while, just when Qin Xiaoyao thought that the conversation was going to end on a sour note, Song Que finally spoke..
