Qin Laoshuan insisted that Qin Huai return to Qinjiazhuang to show his face. When the villagers saw his car coming back, they quickly ran over from their homes and called him, saying, "Qin Huai is back! It's Qin Huai who is back."

This popularity made Qin Laoshuan's face look longer than a donkey's. He was very unhappy and drove everyone away, saying, "Go away, go away. What are you all doing here to join in the fun? Don't you have to work?"

The villagers laughed and saw Maggie Cheung coming down, and they all asked who Qin Huai was.

Maggie Cheung said openly, "I'm a friend of Qin Huai's. Hello."

Several old men said, "This girl is prettier than the one in the painting. Qin Huai, is this your wife?" People in the countryside never beat around the bush when they speak. They say whatever they want without considering whether others feel embarrassed or not.

Zhang Keyi looked at Qin Huai with a red face, but her mood inexplicably improved.

Qin Huai hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, we are just friends."

The old man said, "It's not now, it will be sooner or later. Girl, let me tell you, Qin Huai was raised by us. He is a good boy with a conscience. Which girl will not suffer for the rest of her life if she follows him?"

Maggie Cheung said, "He's really nice." They even started chatting. The old man was more interested in talking to her because he found her easy to talk to.

Qin Huai was extremely embarrassed and said to Maggie Cheung: "I'm sorry, they were just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

“No, I think everyone is very enthusiastic.”

The village beauty Qin Erni almost tore her handkerchief into pieces from a distance, but unfortunately Qin Huai didn't see her unhappiness at all.

Qin Laoshuan said with a stern face, "Aren't you worried about this kid coming back? Why are you talking nonsense instead of asking about the real business?"

He is a person who never speaks well.

Qin Huai said to the villagers, "Don't worry, the fans this time are just like the reed mats we had last time. They are all from Director Mao of the supply and marketing cooperative in the city. You can pay for them when they are done. Besides, the team leader is watching over them, so they can't go wrong."

Everyone said at once: "With Qin Huai's words, I feel relieved."

Seeing that Qin Huai had dispelled the concerns of the entire village with just a few words, Qin Laoshuan said sourly: "You are so powerful now. Your words in the village are more effective than those of me, the team leader."

Qin Huai said, "How can this be the same? I'm just an errand boy. You're the one who takes charge of the village's major affairs. I'm just a junior in front of you and I don't know anything."

Qin Laoshuan was very satisfied with his attitude, but he said, "I am old now, and I will leave the affairs of this village to you from now on."

Qin Huai declined and said, "You are not even forty yet, how can you be old? Besides, I am not as capable as you, and I can handle everything. Let's just forget it."

"You're smart." He angrily drove the crowd away and said, standing on a small mound:

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. I have something important to tell you. From now on, paper fans don't need to be painted. Just write big characters by hand. Everyone should hand in the fans you make and hand them in to the village. Teacher Qin will write on them. Only his handwriting will be visible to the public."

"Captain, is everything you said true? Qin Huai, is everything the captain said true?" After asking the captain, they asked Qin Huai again, which made the captain very unhappy. However, the villagers ignored his thoughts and cheered only when they got Qin Huai's affirmative answer.

The captain widened his eyes and said, "Okay, stop gathering together. Go do what you need to do and finish making the folding fan as soon as possible." As he said that, he started to drive people away, and then walked away slowly in a square pace.

Qin Huai spoke to everyone for a few more words, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Seeing Sister Hong in the crowd, Qin Huai stopped her and asked, "Sister Hong, you look so bad, are you working late every day again?"

Sister Hong said, "No, I'm fine."

Goudan was looking at Sister Hong and the others with complicated eyes from a distance. Qin Huai said, "Goudan, come here quickly. I want to ask you a few questions."

Goudan came over reluctantly. Sister Hong called Qin Huai worriedly. The meaning was obvious: she didn't want him to talk about what happened last time again.

Qin Huai said, "Don't worry, he's your precious son, still a little brat. I'm the elder, what can I do to a child?"

Qin Huai asked, "How many meals do you have at home these days?"

Goudan looked at Sister Hong and said, "Two meals."

"That's good, Goudan, you're the man of the family. Your mother needs your protection. Don't let outsiders bully her in the future, okay?"

Goudan's eyes turned red after hearing this and he said, "Uncle Qin Huai, no one is paying attention to me."

Qin Huai said: "Don't worry about others, just do what you think is right."

Goudan asked doubtfully, "What can I do?"

"For example, if your mother doesn't have a meal, you should care about her; if she works too late, you should take care of her; if your grandmother bullies her, you should help her?"

Goudan agreed in a low voice, and Sister Hong told him to go home quickly.

Maggie Cheung asked, "What happened to them?"

Qin Huai smiled bitterly and said, "Their family affairs cannot be fully described in a few words."

This trip to the village put everyone's mind at ease. Qin Huai then took Zhang Keyi to visit his old house. Zhang Keyi originally thought that it was miserable for her to only eat two buns a day, but the life of her father and the villagers of Qinjiazhuang these days redefined poverty for her.

Feeling sorry for Qin Huai, he said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a hard time in the past.”

Qin Huai said, "It's all over."

After looking at the old house, they were ready to return to the city, but after thinking about it, they were still worried, so Sister Hong came to their house.

When I walked into the house, I found that they were having dinner. This family was actually very particular about eating, and the whole family sat at the table.

But when Qin Huai walked in, he found that only Goudan and the old woman sat down, and Sister Hong, the main labor force, was actually standing and watching them eat.

Qin Huai stepped in and said, "Sister Hong, why don't you eat?"

Sister Hong hesitated and said, "Qin Huai, why are you here?"

The old woman said, "I have demoted this unchaste woman to a concubine. Concubines are not allowed to sit at the table when we eat. When the master of the house, the mother-in-law, eats, her job is to help the family serve tea and water, and serve dishes and soup. She can only start eating after we are full."

Qin Huai was so angry that he almost laughed and said, "You think you are a rich landlord, but you demoted her to a concubine. Sister Hong, are you going to let this old woman abuse you?"

The old woman said, "As an outsider, you have no right to interfere in our family affairs."

Sister Hong said, "Qin Huai, she's getting old and confused. Don't be angry with her. I'll just act as a play with her."

Qin Huai said, "I don't see how she's confused. Goudan, stand up right there. I just told you not to let anyone bully your mother, and you're just going to watch her get hurt?"

Goudan was frightened by his look and burst into tears, saying, "I don't know anything..."

Qin Huai raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "You are playing dumb. Your mother works so hard to earn money to support you, and you still treat her like this?"

The old lady rushed over with her teeth bared and said, "Damn it! How dare you bully my grandson? I will fight you to death."
