Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 426 The Village Woman Who Raises Others' Children 2

Qin Yu and Qing Mo argued incessantly until lunchtime, when everyone working in the fields prepared to go home for lunch.

These people immediately heard the commotion at the brigade leader's house and gathered around to see what was going on.

Qingmo also chased Qin Yu to the front door. If they wanted to argue, they could argue at the front door.

The villagers initially watched with amusement, but their eyes lit up when they saw the child in Qin Yu's arms.

Breaking news! Big news!!!

Qin, the educated youth, has a child with the team leader's daughter. Spread the word, spread it quickly!

Suddenly, the Meng family's door was surrounded by layers of people, and it took the brigade leader and his wife a long time to squeeze in.

"Tsk tsk tsk! My dear girl, whose child is that Qin educated youth holding? Could it be one of yours? Hahaha..."

Wang Dahua's words caused a huge stir, and the crowd immediately erupted in a cacophony of voices.

"Oh my, I never would have guessed! Jiaojiao usually seems so quiet and reserved, but she's actually..."

"Qin, the educated youth, always acts all high and mighty, but he's already got a child!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, these days, young people are really..."

Qingmo stood at the door, still wearing an innocent smile, as if everyone wasn't talking about her.

She tilted her head, blinked, and feigned surprise, saying, "Oh dear, Aunt Wang, what are you saying? I'm busy in the fields every day, where would I be to give birth to a baby?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm still a virgin. If you ruin my reputation, I'll make you pay me back."

Wang Dahua pouted and pointed at the swaddled baby in Qin Yu's arms: "Then whose child is this? Qin Zhiqing can't just conjure up a child out of thin air, can she?"

Qin Yu's face was ashen, and his hands holding the child trembled slightly.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

The captain, his face ashen, finally spoke: "Jiaojiao, tell me, what exactly happened?"

He naturally trusted his own daughter; with her right under his nose every day, she couldn't possibly be hers.

Qingmo shook her head: "I don't know."

"This Qin educated youth is like he's sick. He inexplicably rushed into my house with a child in his arms and said that I killed the child."

"I went to the county to buy things today, as everyone saw."

"Just because I didn't take the usual path back to the village today, this Qin educated youth went crazy, holding a dead child and accusing me of abandoning him to his death."

Brat?!

Upon hearing this, everyone took a closer look at the child in Qin Yu's arms and realized that something was indeed wrong.

The crowd immediately stirred. Someone mustered up their courage and went closer to take a look, then cried out in alarm and backed away: "Good heavens! The child's face has turned blue!"

The captain's expression changed drastically. He lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes and saw that the baby's little hands were already unnaturally stiff.

He suddenly looked up and shouted sharply, "Qin Yu! Where did this child come from?"

Qin Yu's lips trembled violently, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked around in a panic, exchanged a glance with Jiang Zhizhi in the crowd, and then forced himself to calm down.

"Captain, I found this on the road, on the path that Jiaojiao usually takes back to the village."

"When I saw him, the child was already dead; he had drowned in the puddle."

Hearing this, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it had nothing to do with his daughter.

Then his expression turned serious: "Since you picked it up, why are you blaming our Jiaojiao? What does this have to do with her?"

Qin Yu got excited again when this was mentioned.

"Why doesn't it matter?"

“If Meng Jiaojiao had taken that path, the child might not have died. She could have saved him. If she had picked him up, nothing would have happened.”

Qingmo almost laughed in anger when she heard this.

She put her hands on her hips and retorted without any politeness: "Qin Zhiqing, what you said is really interesting."

"According to your logic, does that mean everyone who walked that road today should be dragged out and scolded by you?"

"Besides, I'm not that child's beastly parents. If they hadn't abandoned the child, would this have happened? How can you blame me for this?"

The villagers watching nodded in agreement, some whispering, "Has this Qin Zhiqing gone mad? How can someone be so strange?"

"Yeah! Yeah! It's a good thing I didn't go out today, otherwise it would have been my fault?"

"What a terrible thing! This is a boy, no doubt about it! What kind of beast threw him away?!"

Jiang Zhizhi, supported by her mother, almost lost her balance in the crowd.

How could this happen to her child?!

But in order not to let others notice anything unusual, Jiang Zhizhi held back her tears and could only hide in the crowd without saying a word.

The sadness on Jiang's mother's face wasn't much better than hers; after all, he was her grandson. If only she had known… sigh…

Qin Yu was rendered speechless by the crowd's rebuttals, his face turning pale and then red.

He knew perfectly well that he was being unreasonable, but he just couldn't swallow his anger.

Qingmo then said quietly, "Qin Yu, you're my fiancé, and this child isn't yours. Why are you so concerned?"

"This child, could it be your illegitimate child with some other woman?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately realized that Qin Zhiqing's attitude was inappropriate.

How can someone blame their fiancée just because they found a dead child?

The brigade leader frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Zhiqing, tell me honestly, whose child is this? Why are you so concerned?"

Qin Yu's forehead was covered in even more sweat, and he stammered, "I...I was just passing by and saw that the child was pitiful, so..."

"So you're here to blame my Jiaojiao?"

The brigade leader snorted coldly, "Qin Zhiqing, your behavior is not quite right."

"How about we go talk to the police?"

Upon hearing that he was to go to the police station, Qin Yu panicked.

He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, Captain, it was my fault. I shouldn't have acted impulsively. I... I'll bury the child right now, and let's just let this matter go."

Qingmo persisted, "Let it go? You came here out of nowhere to slander me, and now you think you can just let it go with one wrong sentence?"

"Qin Zhiqing, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Forced to retreat step by step by her, Qin Yu finally had no choice but to apologize, "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment, please forgive me."

"Oh, that won't do. Who knows how the child died?"

"If we can't explain ourselves clearly, people will think that we villagers are heartless and depraved."

Finally, after Qingmo's repeated insistence, the brigade leader had the villagers report the incident to the police.
