After Qi Yuanye arrived, his oldest brother whispered into his ear and Qi Yuanye instantly exploded. “What? Nonsense! The idiot can’t possibly be alive.”

“My wife saw her before the snowstorm. It’s up to you if you want to believe us,” Qi Yuancheng said.

“I’ll never believe it.”

That was what Qi Yuanye said, but his feet were already taking him to East Villageside.

Qi Yuancheng and Madam saw their fifth brother’s reaction and knew that their plan had succeeded.

Fifth Brother must be itching to check if the fool and her burdens were dead.

If they were…

That would be best.

If they were not…

Fifth Brother could check out the situation for them!

Old Man Qi had five children, namely the oldest, Qi Yuancheng; the second, Qi Qingzhu; the third, Qi Qingyao; the fourth, Qi Yuanxiu, and the fifth, Qi Yuanye!

The second daughter, Qi Qingzhu, had long since gotten married to a man from the neighboring Xingli Village.

Even the fifth son had gotten a wife.

Now, Qi Qingyao the ‘fool’ was the only one left, an insult to the Qi family name and a burden to them!

She had three children before even getting married… Everyone in the Qi family looked down on her.

Qi Yuanye was no exception, of course. Once he heard what his oldest brother said, he immediately hurried to the small hut at East Villageside. It was a distance from the village with no neighbors nearby, so almost no one knew what was going on in there. When they first built the hut, they had wanted to set it up next to a house in the village, but no one wanted to be neighbors with a madwoman. That was why Qi Qingyao’s home was so far away from the village!

Qi Yuanye paused when he saw the smoke coming out of the chimney on the hut.

The smoke meant that there were people living inside.

When he approached the hut, he saw that the snow in the yard beyond the fence had been cleanly swept away. There were even two snowmen in the courtyard, clearly built by children.

Qi Yuanye’s heart instantly sank. The fool and her three burdens just would not die! First Brother had said that they had been tossed away, yet the godforsaken trash just ran back here again. Now they had even survived the snowstorm!

Qi Yuanye pushed the fence door open and immediately found himself face to face with Qi Qingyao, who was boiling water on the stove.

Qi Yuanye felt his brow twitch.

“You really aren’t dead.”

Qi Qingyao patted the pot ash from her hands and smirked. “You’re not dead, so why should I be?”

“Qi Qingyao, you’ve learned how to talk back, haven’t you?” Qi Yuanye was somewhat taken aback by Qi Qingyao’s retort.

Qi Qingyao nonchalantly rolled her eyes. “The dog at the gate keeps barking pointlessly. It must have forgotten to take its medicine again.”

She had called him a dog! Qi Yuanye felt his blood pressure rising. “What’s with your tone, Qi Qingyao?”

“Oh, I wondered who it was. Turns out it’s my beloved younger brother.” Qi Qingyao splayed her hands and calmly gave him a sideways look. “When you meet your older sister, you shouldn’t immediately wish for her death. I should be telling you off! Instead, you’re questioning my tone?”

Qi Yuanye almost burst out laughing when he saw the fool claiming superiority. “My older sister? Ha! A fool is a fool. Now you’re calling yourself my older sister? What a joke.”

Qi Qingyao said coolly, “If I’m a fool then you’re insane. Oh, how it pains me to have a madman as my younger brother! Our parents’ genes must be terrible. That’s why their children are madmen and fools!”

Qi Yuanye did not quite understand what she was saying, but he could tell that he was being repeatedly insulted and it was making his head hurt. He barked at her, “Qi Qingyao, what nonsense are you spouting now?”

“I’m a fool, aren’t I? And you’re a madman, so take your insanity elsewhere.”

Qi Qingyao’s every word easily incensed Qi Yuanye’s temper. Furious, he roared at her, “You’re really driving me insane!”
