Wang Guiying used to take good care of their family, and Tian Yu was also good to him and Qin Lei when she was young. To this day, she still calls him Brother Qin Yi!
Therefore, Qin Yi had a very good impression of Tian Yu!
Seeing her encounter such a scumbag, he couldn't stand by and watch her get bullied!
When Tian Yu heard Qin Yi's words, she was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Brother Qin Yi, thank you..."
Obviously, she took Qin Yi's words as mere comfort and didn't take them to heart.
"Brother Qin Yi, let's go back!"
After a while, Tian Yu stopped crying, chatted with Qin Yi, and felt a bit better. She headed home.
Qin Yi followed her back. Given Tian Guangjun's attitude, he had originally intended to leave with Zheng Shufen and find a hotel in town to stay.
However, Wang Guiying insisted they stay.
During the time he and Tian Yu had gone out, Wang Guiying seemed to have convinced Tian Guangjun. Although he still didn't have a good expression towards Qin Yi, he didn't drive them away anymore.
Thus, with Wang Guiying's earnest apologies and entreaties, Zheng Shufen finally asked Qin Yi to stay.
The two of them stayed there that night.
Wang Guiying arranged a room for Qin Yi. After entering, he didn't sleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate, drawing in spiritual energy.
Qin Yi discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the countryside was higher than in the city.
Immersed in cultivation, Qin Yi lost all sense of time. When he emerged from his cultivation state, the sky was already turning white, signaling the dawn of the next morning.
Hum, hum, hum...
As soon as Qin Yi got out of bed, he heard a loud motorcycle engine roaring outside.
Immediately after, he heard a voice: "Mom, Mom... I'm hungry. What delicious breakfast did you make?"
Qin Yi came out of his room and saw a man with dyed yellow hair, wearing leather pants and a leather jacket, who looked like a 'shamatte' (a term for a specific youth subculture).
As soon as the man entered the house and saw the freshly steamed buns on the table, he directly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this moment, Wang Guiying came out of the kitchen and said irritably, "Tian Erhao, where were you last night? You're only coming back now! Wash your hands before you eat..."
This 'shamatte' man was Wang Guiying and Tian Guangjun's second son, Tian Yu's younger brother, Tian Erhao.
"Mom, are there any other snacks besides buns?"
Tian Erhao ignored Wang Guiying's words and asked his own question.
Wang Guiying was about to reply when she saw Qin Yi getting up and immediately said, "Xiao Yi, you're up. Hurry and wash up, it's time for breakfast!"
Tian Erhao noticed Qin Yi, stared at him, and thought for a moment before spitting out, "Qin Yi, you're Qin Yi! Why are you back, and why are you staying at our house???"
Wang Guiying quickly reached out and patted him, glaring, "Xiao Yi and your Aunt Zheng are back specifically to attend your sister's wedding..."
Upon hearing this, Tian Erhao subconsciously asked Qin Yi, "Your mom is back too?"
Just then, Zheng Shufen also came out of the kitchen and greeted Tian Erhao, "Erhao!"
Tian Erhao turned to look at Zheng Shufen, then looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, then at Qin Yi. Without a word, he went into the kitchen to find something else to eat.
Being ignored, Zheng Shufen felt a little awkward.
Later, Qin Yi, Zheng Shufen, and Wang Guiying ate breakfast together.
Wang Guiying and Tian Yu were very polite and warm towards Qin Yi and Zheng Shufen, while Tian Guangjun and Tian Erhao were completely the opposite, showing them coldness and disdain.
Before they had finished breakfast, another motorcycle engine roared.
A very cool, modified motorcycle stopped in the open area outside the house.
A man wearing a flashy large gold ring and with a cigarette in his mouth dismounted and walked towards the house.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..."
He called out before even entering the house.
Tian Yu was sitting at the dining table eating when she saw him. She immediately put down her chopsticks, anger flashing across her face.
Because the man was none other than Xiu Qiang, who had hit her on the street yesterday.
Xiu Qiang entered the house, saw them eating, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, you're having breakfast!"
"Yes, Xiu Qiang, have you eaten? If not, come quickly and join us!"
Tian Guangjun immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Brother-in-law is here, come and sit, come and sit..."
Tian Erhao even hurriedly pulled out a stool for Xiu Qiang.
His enthusiasm was almost palpable.
Xiu Qiang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to Tian Erhao, "Erhao, take these to smoke!"
Tian Erhao caught it and thanked him, "Thanks, Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is the best to me, hehe!"
Then, Xiu Qiang walked to the table and sat down. He didn't care that Tian Yu had a somber face and ignored him.
Seeing Qin Yi and Zheng Shufen, whom he didn't recognize, he asked, "Uncle, who are they?"
"They're our neighbors!"
Tian Erhao quickly replied, "Their house next door that collapsed is theirs!"
Upon hearing this, Xiu Qiang showed a look of realization.
Then, he looked at Qin Yi and said in a strange tone, "You're Qin Yi, the one who raped someone and went to jail!"
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
Hearing his words, whether it was Qin Yi, Zheng Shufen, Wang Guiying, or Tian Yu, they all stiffened simultaneously.
Qin Yi's face darkened, and he said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
He had been to jail, but rape? What was that about?
Noticing his reaction, Xiu Qiang turned to Tian Erhao, "Erhao told me. He said you committed rape and were arrested!"
"Xiao Yi didn't go to jail for that, he was framed!" Zheng Shufen said emotionally.
How could she not be agitated when someone slandered her son like this?
At this moment, Tian Erhao's expression became unnatural, a little awkward.
Because, it was he who told Xiu Qiang that Qin Yi had committed rape and gone to jail.
Ever since he knew Qin Yi was in jail, Tian Erhao had often used it as a topic of conversation. To attract attention and shock others, he had deliberately exaggerated and fabricated details about Qin Yi's imprisonment!
Tian Yu scolded Tian Erhao, "Tian Erhao, did you go and gossip about Brother Qin Yi behind his back again and make up lies!"
"I, I..."
Tian Erhao stammered at first, unsure how to respond.
However, he soon became indignant, "Who's gossiping behind his back? Isn't it true that Qin Yi went to jail?"
"Tian Erhao, you're simply unreasonable!"
Tian Yu pointed at him and said, "Even if Brother Qin Yi went to jail, it wasn't for doing something like that. If you spread rumors like this, do you still care about Brother Qin Yi's reputation? What will people think of Brother Qin Yi?"
Tian Erhao wanted to retort further, but before he could say anything this time, Xiu Qiang spoke up first, "Xiao Yu, you seem to care a lot about him?"
