Chapter 27: The Crime of Gender 27
Old Chen’s in trouble! This really startled everyone in the courtyard. Mr. Qin rushed out like the wind towards the threshing floor.
Although Mr. Qin valued his face more than Old Chen, after all, they had been husband and wife for most of their lives.
Just like Mr. Qin once said, they’ve weathered storms together for decades, there’s definitely love there. Otherwise, he could’ve easily divorced the troublesome Old Chen with just one word previously. In that situation, no one would have said Mr. Qin was heartless, but he didn’t do that!
It shows that Old Chen is still important to him. It’s just that many times a man cares more about saving face in front of others than his own feelings.
Now, suddenly hearing about Old Chen’s accident, Mr. Qin was naturally anxious. As soon as he left, the rest of the people followed him out in a rush, adults and children all swarming towards Old Chen’s rice pounding threshing floor.
With this happening, Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai, who planned to visit Aunt Hao, had to follow to see what was wrong with Old Chen. Moreover, Qin Shuangshuang was somewhat curious about what happened to Old Chen, so she dragged Mrs. Bai to follow behind the crowd.
A large group of people gathered on the threshing floor, whispering to each other. When they saw Mr. Qin and his group arriving, they quickly scattered, revealing Old Chen lying on several grain bags laid side by side.
Old Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, lying motionless, like she was dead from a distance!
