Chapter 13: The Crime of Gender 13
Old Chen was in the middle of a tirade when she was suddenly stopped by a chop from Qin Shuangshuang into the cutting board, making her momentarily think Shuangshuang wanted to pin her down on the board and chop her up like a piece of meat!
Old Chen felt a chill run down her spine, and all her hairs stood on end. She was so frightened by Qin Shuangshuang that she didn't dare to curse anymore!
Seeing Old Chen shut her mouth, Qin Shuangshuang turned her head, closed her eyes, and quelled the ruthlessness in them. She took a deep breath and struggled to suppress the anger rushing up to her head again.
It wasn't that Qin Shuangshuang suddenly became meek and decided to tolerate Old Chen, but she couldn't confront Old Chen right now!
Today, she had given away so much meat. In these times, even for wedding gifts, such generous offerings were unheard of, so it naturally caused a stir in the village and made some people envious!
Qin Shuangshuang had given meat to families of good character; otherwise, they wouldn't look out for her, a seemingly useless child. These people knew her days weren't easy, and everyone knew she had a troublesome grandmother at home.
The families she forced meat upon might visit her soon out of concern that Old Chen was tormenting her!
Moreover, given how grand her gesture of gifting was today, the nosy villagers were sure to come and see how Old Chen would deal with her.
So today, people were bound to visit their home, and no matter what, she couldn't talk back to Old Chen, giving the villagers the chance to gossip, nor could she ruin the good reputation she had worked hard to maintain over the years.
