Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"No, Secretary, this is not how it should be done." Zhao Xiyan's forehead was covered with sweat. "Qin Jingru is a person, not a commodity. She doesn't know anything now, but when she gets older... she will definitely hate you."

"She dared."

Qin Tiegang glared and said, "I am her father, I promised her a marriage, if she dares to do anything wrong... you see I will beat her up."

"Sister Qin, please say something." Zhao Xiyan said helplessly.

"Second Uncle, how about I give you the betrothal gift now and we don't publicize it. How about I take Jingru to the city?" Qin Huairu said seriously.

"Qin Huairu, do you know what you are doing?"

Zhao Xiyan's face turned pale with fright.

Lou Xiao'e alone was enough to make him overwhelmed, and now Qin Jingru came along, it would be the end of him.

"I know what I'm talking about."

Qin Huairu scolded, "If you didn't want this to happen, why didn't you stop her yesterday? Now everyone in the village is gossiping about her behind her back, what do you want me to do?"

"I……"

Zhao Xiyan was speechless.

He knows what it means to be afraid of what people say.

Especially in rural areas, gossip can really kill people.

"Huai Ru is still sensible."

Qin Tiegang said in a deep voice, "I don't want much either. Just give me ten dollars and you can take the person away."

"ten bucks?"

Zhao Xiyan opened his mouth wide.

"Too much? Five dollars is fine."

Qin Tiegang sighed and said, "Xiao Zhao, I'm not the kind of person who is obsessed with money. Now your second brother is getting married... and they want ten yuan at the beginning, and I have to prepare other things."

"Second uncle, let's do this... Xiao Zhao will give you twenty yuan, and the extra money can be considered as a gift from us to your second brother." Qin Huairu said seriously.

"This……"

Qin Tiegang was very hesitant.

"The head of the family..."

The woman who had been silent all this time tugged at his shirt and whispered, "I know you can't save face, but your family is struggling to make ends meet. The second son's marriage was only agreed upon reluctantly. If you don't give enough, I'm afraid it will be cancelled again."

"I see."

Qin Tiegang glared at her, then looked at Zhao Xiyan and said, "Xiao Zhao, from now on, let Jingru handle household affairs. If she doesn't obey, send someone back to tell me..."

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out.

"Second Mother, this is money, keep it."

Qin Huairu took out two big unity notes and stuffed them into the hands of Qin Tiegang's wife.

"Huai Ru, you are lucky."

Er Niang held her hand and wiped her tears.

"Second Mother, don't worry, Jingru is under my watch. No one will bully her."

Qin Huairu patted her hands to comfort her.

"Eh."

After hugging her, Er Niang took the two brothers Qin He and Qin Ping away.

The whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was looking at Zhao Xiyan's expression.

"Xiao Zhao, I know you don't want to, but there's really nothing we can do about it." Qin Huairu sighed, "If we don't take her away, she'll probably marry someone whose wife died..."

"Well."

Zhao Xiyan looked at her in surprise.

"Xiao Zhao, don't disbelieve it."

Qin Tiezhu smiled bitterly and said, "In our village, almost no one is willing to marry a woman with a bad reputation... You don't have to feel too burdened. Jingru will follow you to the city, and you can find a family for her when the time comes."

"Fuck, yeah."

Zhao Xiyan slapped his head.

People in the village know about her, but people in the city don't.

"Do you understand now?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes.

"Okay, everyone has had breakfast, you should go back early too." Mother Qin said with a smile, "Otherwise it will be too late, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Eh."

Everyone sat at the table and started to eat breakfast.

Qin's mother and two sisters-in-law have always told Qin Huairu to be diligent at home and not to make her husband angry.

Zhao Xiyan sighed when he heard this.

There is still a long way to go to liberate our minds.

After half an hour.

Qin Tiezhu brought his family to see Zhao Xiyan and Qin Huairu off. When everyone walked to the front of the car, they found Qin Jingru squatting there.

"sister……"

After Qin Jingru shouted, she looked at Zhao Xiyan, lowered her head and called out "Brother Zhao".

Zhao Xiyan looked her up and down.

Today Qin Jingru was wearing a pair of clothes that fitted her well. Although it was old, it had no patches. She was wearing a pair of half-new Liberation shoes, but judging from the way she walked, they didn't fit her feet very well.

"Jingru, you sit with me in the back and let your sister Xiao'e sit in the front." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Eh."

After Qin Jingru responded, she looked at Qin Tiezhu and said, "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Three, Brother Five... I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

Qin Tiezhu warned, "When you get to the city, you have to listen to your sister and brother-in-law... Do whatever they tell you to do, understand?"

"Eh."

Qin Jingru nodded obediently.

"Mom and Dad...then let's go too." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Well, come back and play when you have time."

Mother Qin came over and stuffed a bag of things into the car. "There are some eggs and bread in it. Take them with you on the road."

"it is good."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

"Xiao E, if you have time, come and play at your aunt's place. If your brother doesn't have time, you can ask your sister-in-law to bring you here." Mother Qin said with a smile.

"Thank you, aunt."

Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Tiezhu waved his hand and said, "Write a letter to let me know you're safe when you get to the city..."

"understood."

Zhao Xiyan responded and stepped on the accelerator.

The car drove out slowly.

Many villagers on the road stopped when they saw the car.

"Wow, Jing Ruzhen followed?"

"The secretary has already said that he was talking nonsense, but now his reputation has been ruined. What should I do if I don't leave?"

"It's a pity for Jingru. I was going to tell my nephew about her."

……

Accompanied by rumors, the car drove out of Qinjia Village.

After driving for a while, Zhao Xiyan found Qin Tiegang waiting there with his family.

"secretary……"

"Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time." Qin Tiegang sighed.

"It's okay. When we get to the city, I will help Jingru find a good family." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Xi Yan..."

Qin Huairu shouted.

"What do you mean by looking for a good family?"

Qin Tiegang's face turned pale, "Qin Jingru is promised to you, not sold to you... If you dare to promise her to someone else, I will go to the capital to fight you to death."

"Second Uncle, Xiao Zhao didn't mean that."

Qin Huairu said hurriedly, "He is a scholar, so he still feels a little disgusted by these things, but it's okay, I'll talk to him properly when I get back... Jingru is still young anyway."

"That's pretty much it."

Er Niang came over and stuffed a bundle into her hands, "Huai Ru, I got her a set of clothes... There is also a silver bracelet in it, which is my dowry for her. You are not allowed to despise her."

"No way."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Okay, Second Master, Second Madam...I will take good care of Jingru."

"Okay, I'll come to Sijiu City to see you guys when I have time."

Qin Tiegang waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Xiyan could leave.

Zhao Xiyan was also afraid of being scolded again, so he drove slowly towards Changping.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to drive fast, but this mountain road... can only be considered a road. There are rocks protruding from time to time. If one of them scratches it, it will be terrible.
