Qin Yilin immediately gave the head of the household a wink.

Ding Heli was completely confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Didn't Gang Yilin say she wanted to return it? He agreed to it. Now that his daughter is taking the initiative to return it, what's wrong with that?

Looking at her husband's expression, Qin Yilin knew he hadn't realized it. Are all men brainless? Her daughter's words last night showed that she liked Wen Hua.

Since Wenhua isn't interested in that area, shouldn't we let our daughter wait a bit?

She looked at the head of the household and gestured, "Jiajia, let your father return it. It won't be conspicuous, and it's easier for men to talk to each other."

It's not that it's easier for men to talk to each other, but the head of the household doesn't get emotional. What if Jiajia couldn't hold back her tears and started crying?

To be honest, you can't really blame Wen Hua for this. He probably always sees Jia Jia as a girl and thinks of buying her nice things. In his eyes, hairpins are no different from pastries and candies. The main reason is that Jia Jia mentioned wanting them before, otherwise, I guess he, a grown man, wouldn't buy things for a girl.

Ding Heli thought about it and agreed. It was inappropriate to have Jiajia return the silver hairpin to Wenhua, as there were some things that were difficult to say. He couldn't very well say that such a valuable silver hairpin should be kept as a gift for Wenhua's future wife.

However, as an elder, he can offer some advice and guidance.

Hu Wenhua, who was pacing back and forth on the high ground, saw a familiar figure. His heart sank, but he still strode forward to greet her. "Uncle Ding, why isn't it Jiajia?"

She didn't want to see him?

Ding Heli chuckled and said, "It's alright, she's drying herbs. It's nothing serious anyway, I can just return it to you."

"Return it?" Hu Wenhua didn't expect that a hairpin needed to be returned, and asked in confusion, "Why do I need to return it?"

Jiajia clearly agreed to accept it yesterday.

“Hey, Wenhua, you're all too young to understand. A girl's hairpin has a special meaning. Jiajia accepted it yesterday without knowing, so she has to return it, right?”

"Also, you can't give away hairpins so easily in the future. You have to save them for your future wife, otherwise she'll be jealous if she finds out," Ding Heli said earnestly.

It's not a big deal, but we still need to clarify things, otherwise Wen Hua's good intentions will be misunderstood and she will feel disheartened.

"Uncle knows you have a kind heart and genuinely care about Uncle Ding's family. You treat Jiajia like a younger sister, and your aunt and I are the same. We even ask Jiajia to treat you like her own brother!"

So Jiajia accepted all the pastries and candies; it was fine for her as the younger sister to eat them. But the hairpin was absolutely out of the question. Your uncle and aunt understand your good intentions, and we shouldn't be distant from now on.”

Hu Wenhua felt as if her heart was being squeezed, with waves of pain.

So the hairpin had special meaning, which is why she had to return it? She didn't have any romantic feelings for him.

Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding asked her to treat him like a brother. Was that a euphemism? The truth was that Jiajia had no feelings for him, and the two of them were not a good match. They just couldn't say it directly because of her sister's feelings.

Yes, Jiajia is so good, gentle and kind, and she also knows how to collect and process medicinal herbs. Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding are capable and dote on her. She would be a good match for a scholar in the city. But he is not only a peasant, but also looks too fierce and domineering.

He doesn't look like a good person!

Girls used to be afraid of him, and it was already a miracle that Jiajia wasn't afraid of him. How could he possibly hope that she would like him...?
