77: Chapter 77 Bizarre News...
A long while later, Qin Hua knelt beneath the Qin Family ancestral tablets with a look of utter despair, while Old Master Qin sat to the side, legs spread wide, staring fixedly at Qin Hua...
"Ahem..."
Qin Mo coughed twice, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Um... Grandfather, I haven't really suffered any grievances, so why don't we just let it go?"
"Hmph!"
Old Master Qin snorted coldly, looked at Qin Hua on the ground, and said indifferently, "Since my good grandson has spoken, I'll let you off this time!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hua immediately cast a grateful look at Qin Mo and quickly stood up.
Seeing that Old Master Qin's anger had subsided, Leng Shaoying smiled and said, "Dad, isn't it time for Moer to officially be recognized by the ancestors?"
Old Master Qin nodded and then looked at Qin Mo.
"Grandson, you have been lost outside for twenty years. Today, you have finally returned to the Qin Family. Grandfather is very happy. You have suffered many grievances over these years."
Then, Old Master Qin lit three sticks of incense, handed them to Qin Mo, and said loudly toward the ancestral tablets:
"Today, with the ancestors of the Qin Family as my witness, I, the unfilial descendant Qin Rulie, bring back the long-lost Qin Family descendant, Qin Mo, to pay respects to the ancestors and be officially recognized!"
With a solemn expression, Qin Mo stepped forward, inserted the incense into the censer, and then knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily three times.
"Ancestors, I, Qin Family descendant Qin Mo, pay my respects to you all. May the ancestors bless the sons of the Qin Family!"
As he said this, Qin Mo muttered inwardly.
I hope the ancestors don't blame me for using the family genealogy as collateral...
"Good!"
After a long while, Old Master Qin pulled Qin Mo up with a beaming face.
"Grandson, get up quickly. Sigh, you've suffered!"
At this point, Old Master Qin shot a cold glare at Qin Hua again.
Qin Hua immediately broke out in a cold sweat, terrified that his old man would beat him again...
Tap, tap, tap...
"Dad! I heard Big Brother's son has been found?"
Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps approached, followed by a rough, boisterous voice.
The next moment, all the direct descendants of the Qin Family poured in and immediately saw Qin Mo standing to the side.
Qin Mo was rendered speechless. What was with all these people staring at him like he was a monkey?
"What's all this noise?"
Seeing the crowd pouring in, Old Master Qin immediately looked displeased.
Once these words were spoken, the whole room went silent, but they still couldn't help but size up Qin Mo with curious eyes.
A middle-aged man who looked seventy percent like Qin Hua and appeared refined and easygoing walked up to Qin Mo and smiled slightly.
"You must be Xiao Mo, right?"
Qin Mo instinctively sized the man up and then nodded.
"Hello, I am Qin Mo."
Upon hearing this, the man patted Qin Mo on the shoulder.
"It's good that you're back! I am your Second Uncle, Qin Rong!"
"Hello, Second Uncle!"
Qin Mo greeted him with a smile.
Seeing that Qin Mo was easy to get along with, the others immediately started introducing themselves to him.
Most of them were direct descendants of the Qin Family, including two of Second Uncle's three sons, Qin Xuan and Qin Qiong.
There were also Fourth Aunt's children, as well as descendants from the branch families. After the round of introductions, Qin Mo couldn't remember a single name by the end...
Qin Mo finally understood the situation of the Qin Family: Old Master Qin, his grandfather, and his father were all in the military; his Second Uncle, Qin Rong, was in politics and was currently the top official in Sea City; his Third Uncle was in business and was not currently in Yanjing, but all the family's wealth had been built by him single-handedly.
No wonder it was said that no one dared to provoke the Qin Family. With family members involved in the military, political, and business sectors, it could be said that they had no weaknesses...
The only family rule set by Old Master Qin was that family members must not kill each other, and furthermore, must not oppress the common people. The Qin Family certainly adhered to this without question.
After a long while, Qin Mo had also gotten along well with everyone.
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Mo and said softly, "Grandson, what do you plan to do? Join the military to serve the country, or go into business to add to the family's prosperity?"
Qin Mo smiled sheepishly: "Grandfather, I'm not interested in those for the time being. I'd rather continue being a Streamer! I think this suits me quite well."
If it were any other family descendant, Old Master Qin would have definitely intervened directly, but perhaps out of indebtedness to Qin Mo, he did not stop him.
"Fine! Grandson, you can do whatever you want. Grandfather supports you!"
Afterward, the whole Qin Family ate a meal together.
Qin Mo finally turned on his streaming equipment.
????
"Is the Streamer back from the dead to claim souls on the seventh day after passing?"
"Streamer, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have watched you... I... I'm leaving right now! Please don't take me with you. I haven't gotten married yet... I haven't taken a wife, I don't want to die yet..."
"Streamer, we tried, but we couldn't deal with them! If your resentment hasn't dissipated, how about... I burn two foreign chicks for you? Japanese ones are fine too, or if those won't do, there are African ones? What do you think?"
"Mo... Brother Mo, I'm sorry, I've told you all my secrets, please don't take me away... I opened the browser twice last night... No! Three times, three times! I'm really telling the truth, I didn't lie to you, I only used one roll of toilet paper..."
Looking at the comments in the stream, Qin Mo's mouth twitched, and his face went dark.
"I'm still f*cking alive! Can't you wish me something better?"
"Brother Mo, what kind of joke are you making? Weren't you executed at three o'clock this afternoon? The official news has already been released. Because of that, I was afraid you'd be lonely, so I burned an inflatable girlfriend for you..."
"Yeah, yeah! I burned a lacy one..."
You f*cker...
Qin Mo was instantly furious. It must have been that bastard Chen Hao who released the news in advance...
Afterward, Qin Mo scrolled through the recent news...
# Shocking: Million-follower influencer sentenced to death for assault with a weapon, execution carried out at 3 PM today.
# Shocking: Why does the old sow scream in the middle of the night? Why is an eighty-year-old woman suddenly pregnant? Why are sanitary pads frequently stolen from the women's restroom? Why are the ants sticking their butts up? Is this a distortion of human nature, or a loss of morality...
# Shocking: 93-year-old forgets keys, climbs to the 8th-floor balcony with bare hands to retrieve spare keys...
# Shocking: Naked man urinates and defecates in the subway station; after being confronted, he picks up his feces and throws it at passersby...
Looking at the news on his phone, Qin Mo pinched his philtrum the entire time, fearing he might pass out right then and there...
He was actually ranked first among these explosive news stories...
After calming down for a while, Qin Mo stared at the stream with an expressionless face.
"I heard you've been telling everyone that I was executed by firing squad?"
"Holy crap? Is the Streamer actually still alive?"
"Really? Streamer, how did you get out?"
"Holy crap? Who would believe this? A death row inmate about to be executed actually escaped unscathed? Even though he was... framed..."
"Um... Streamer, you didn't break out of prison, did you?"
"Streamer, that's not good! Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to harshness!"
"Streamer, if you broke out of prison, blink your eyes! Don't worry! I'm not doing it for the 500,000 reward, I'm just curious!"
"The person above, I'm honest! I'm doing it for the 500,000! Streamer, hurry up and tell us, my mortgage payment for next month depends on you!"
