Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu suddenly became dejected; Jia's mother was not willing to give in either, and originally wanted to throw a tantrum and make a scene, but when she saw the comrades from the Military Control Commission were present, she did not dare to act rashly.

He then advised, "My daughter, you must be filial to your parents! If you can't even do this, how can you face the world in the future? After all, the villagers will talk about you, and you will really not be able to live as a human being then."

Yi Zhonghai was quite surprised. When did Jia Zhang start to gossip?

He knew that although Jia Zhangshi didn't usually pay attention to moral standards, this trick really worked. Qin Huairu was obviously attacked by the strange eyes and words of the people in the courtyard. Some newcomers were particularly unfriendly to her, and their eyes seemed to be able to whip her. Everyone talked about it:

"Sister-in-law Jia is right. If children are not filial, it is better not to have them."

"If I had a daughter like this, I would have taken her away..."

"Yeah, this kind of person should have been eliminated long ago."

These words made Qin Huairu feel extremely uncomfortable, her ears were buzzing and her vision was blurry. Fortunately, Xu Lingyun immediately supported her when she saw this:

"Huai Ru, are you okay?"

Xu Lingyun angrily glared at the gossiping women. The old man beside her also looked dissatisfied. Jia Zhang was as proud as if she had won a battle, thinking: "You still want to fight me? Even if I don't say anything, I can still control you, a little girl."

Yi Zhonghai also felt a little proud. He no longer cared whether his disciple would marry Qin Huairu. The key was to vent his anger and make up for the injustice he had suffered before. Jia Dongxu was secretly happy, thinking that after this matter was successful today, good things would belong to him.

Qin Dashan and his son didn't care about it. They just wanted to marry Qin Huairu off as soon as possible and get the fifty yuan betrothal gift and three job quotas. With money and a job, why bother to linger on a country girl? It would be much better to find a partner in the city? After Qin Huairu sent twenty yuan, the four people in the family spent it immediately. First, each person made a new set of clothes, and bought a lot of food and drinks, and planned to receive a similar amount every month. Sure enough, when the money was received in the second month, the family members gradually became proud, and even started to brag about it in the village. You know, in the countryside, twenty yuan a month is the money that an ordinary family in the village can only save for several years.

After three months, the villagers gradually learned that the Qin family's daughter was earning a good monthly income from working in the city. At first, some people said that she was paid 20 yuan a month, but the rumor changed as it spread. Some said it was 30, 50, or even 100 yuan. Qin Dashan would correct them at first and say that it was not that much, but later, after getting used to the compliments, he simply agreed.

Of course, some people also made sarcastic remarks, saying that Qin Huairu must be doing something not very serious, such as Yanzhi Lane, Bada Hutong and so on. Although the Qin family tried their best to defend themselves, they were still criticized behind their backs. In the end, Qin Dashan decided to quickly arrange two girls from neighboring villages for the eldest and second sons before the Qin family's reputation was completely ruined.

At first, everything went smoothly, and there were not many requirements for the betrothal gift, just some symbolic grain and meat. But as the two families understood the situation of the Qin family, the betrothal gift price gradually increased. Although the sky-high price of 50 yuan was not directly asked at the beginning, the rumors in Qinjia Village became more and more, so the betrothal gift price increased to 50 yuan.

Anyway, the two girls insisted that they would never get married without a fifty-yuan gift, which made Qin Dashan and his son find Qin Huairu. Just when Yi Zhonghai and others felt that the situation was in their favor and the old man was about to intervene, they heard Qin Huairu say coldly:

"Grandpa Liang, Comrade Wang, I would like you to be my witness."

"I'm going to sever ties with my mother's family today." As soon as the words fell, everyone present gasped.

How did the situation suddenly become like this? Not only Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family mother and son, but also Qin Dashan and his son were caught off guard. Qin Dashan was furious and said, "You unfilial daughter, what did you say? Say it again!"

He said, trembling with anger. However, Qin Huairu did not waver at all. Although her eyes were a little empty, her face was still indifferent.

"Dad! This is the last time I call you. From now on, we have no relationship." Qin Huairu turned around and knelt down facing Mr. Liang. "Grandpa Liang, can you lend me three hundred yuan? I want to give it to them. From now on, I am no longer the daughter of the Qin family."

The old man reached out and helped Qin Huairu up, and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

He immediately turned around and went back to the cross yard. For a moment, Qin Dashan pointed at Qin Huairu and couldn't say a word. His brother Qin Huaili wanted to scold Qin Huairu, but he hesitated after hearing the three hundred yuan, and seemed a little tempted.

Yi Zhonghai was very angry. What he could not tolerate most was his children's disobedience. Now Qin Huairu was so bold that she wanted to cut off ties with her family. This behavior seemed to have touched Yi Zhonghai's taboo.

"Xiao Qin, how could you do this? You are going to cut off ties with your family?" "Was it easy for your parents to raise you?" "How can you buy away your family relationship with three hundred yuan? It's simply..." He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to continue.

Comrade Wang and others on the side couldn't help but frown, thinking that breaking off a relationship was not a trivial matter and must be considered carefully.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, severing ties with your family is not something you can do lightly. Once you make the decision, there is no turning back!" "Even if they forgive you in the end, how can you live with it?" "Don't ruin your life because of a momentary impulse."

Jia Zhang also began to nag, "Yes, how can a girl live without her parents? Is she going to be someone else's maid for the rest of her life?" "Why not just marry into our Jia family as we agreed before, with a fifty-yuan betrothal gift and three job openings, that will be good for everyone."

Qin Huairu seemed to have not heard her words at all. This reaction made Jia Zhang very angry, but she was helpless.

So Jia Zhang secretly made up her mind to marry Qin Huairu home no matter what. Then she would see how to deal with this girl.

Neighbors also began to discuss privately, some agreed, some advised, and some said some unpleasant things.

Tan looked at Qin Huairu with sympathy. Her current situation was just as Jia Zhang said: Without her natal family, how would she live in the future? Even if she got married, it would be hard for her to hold her head up in her husband's family. If she had children, it would be ok, so she could have a little status. For her...

While everyone was still discussing and comforting each other, Mr. Liang walked out of the middle courtyard with 300 yuan in cash, a document of breaking off the relationship, a pen, and ink. He walked directly to Comrade Wang of the Military Control Commission, ignoring Yi Zhonghai's family and other neighbors. "Comrade Wang, this is the document of breaking off the relationship. Please take a look and bear witness."

Comrade Wang took the document and looked at Qin Huairu again: "Comrade Qin, have you thought it through?" Qin Huairu still said coldly: "I have thought it through." Obviously she knew that Qin Dashan would not sign, but she just looked at him indifferently, "Didn't my mother die of dystocia that year?"

Qin Dashan was stunned by these words. After a moment, he seemed to have aged a lot, as if he had lost all his strength.

Then, he numbly took the document from Comrade Wang, signed his name and stamped his handprint on it, and then handed the document to Comrade Wang, and walked out of the courtyard without looking back. "After taking the money, I am no longer a girl from the Qin family." Qin Huairu said coldly, but then added: "In order to respect my mother, the surname will not be changed."

Qin Dashan, who had already walked to the central courtyard hall, stopped, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, but he continued to walk out. Qin Huaili watched everything from the side. After Qin Huairu signed the severance document, she handed the money to her brother, then turned to Mr. Liang and said, "Grandpa Liang, please take me in." At this time, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Old Master Liang patted her on the back and ordered, "Lingyun, accompany Huairu back to the house." Xu Lingyun nodded and took Qin Huairu back to the courtyard.

After Mr. Liang signed his name, he turned to the two comrades from the Military Control Commission and said, "Comrade Wang, I don't want to make things difficult for you. You just need to be a witness. I will send the document to the Military Control Commission for stamping later." Comrade Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating that their Military Control Commission would not stamp such a document of severing ties, and that this could only be considered a private agreement at most.

Mr. Liang said confidently: "Don't worry, our military control committee will definitely stamp it. If I don't have enough face, at worst I can ask my apprentice for help and ask Director XXX to help stamp it."

When the word "apprentice" was heard, the names of several military control committee leaders suddenly emerged in the minds of the residents at the scene: Su Yang! Yi Zhonghai's face was already full of sweat, and he obviously understood that Mr. Liang's move was a warning to everyone. Jia Zhang was afraid when she thought of Su Yang, and Jia Dongxu felt the same way.

The young comrade from the Military Control Commission was not convinced and said disdainfully, "Old comrade, you are talking too easily. Do you think you can get Director XXX of the Military Control Commission to stamp your name just by saying the name of your disciple?" He then questioned, "Is this disciple so famous?"

The old man said calmly: "I don't know how capable this guy is, but I only know that he told me before he went to the battlefield on the peninsula that if I encounter something that I can't solve, I should go to the Military Control Commission and ask Director XXX for help."

At this time, Comrade Wang suddenly interrupted and asked, "Master, is your disciple called Su Yang?"

The old man nodded slightly, and a "hiss" sounded at the scene. It turned out that Comrade Wang couldn't help but gasp. She then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Su Yang's master. I'm sorry for the offense."

Seeing the old man's slightly surprised look, Comrade Wang added softly: "He saved my life back then."

After saying this, Wang Wenhui said no more, but took the severance document from Qin Huairu and signed her name on it:

Wang Wenhui

After signing, she continued, "Grandpa, there is no need to bother Director XXX. I will file this document in the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office. If there is any dispute, we will be responsible for handling it."
