"Fulang" is the popular name for one party in a same-sex marriage in Yangcheng Town.

Since same-sex marriage became legal in China, there have been many more same-sex marriages in Yangcheng Town.

Even in some more isolated rural areas, traces of same-sex marriage can be seen.

"Fifth Uncle, even if I found a husband, you don't have to be so surprised, right?" Qiu Shui said with a smile.

"How can I not be surprised? You told me, your fifth uncle, that you wanted to find a beautiful young wife."

Fifth Uncle still remembers that when Qiu Shui went out to study at university, he patted his chest and promised him that he would definitely find a beautiful wife.

"Yes, a beautiful daughter-in-law. Isn't she beautiful enough?" Qiu Shui pulled Lou Yuchen and said innocently, "Fifth Uncle, isn't your standard for beauty too high?"

"Yes, he's quite handsome." Fifth Uncle looked at Lou Yuchen's delicate face. He had never seen a boy who was prettier than a girl.

Lou Yuchen smiled faintly and let his fifth uncle look at him.

"Okay, okay, Fifth Uncle, don't worry about this issue. Your legs and feet are not in good condition, so sit down quickly." Qiu Shui put a chair beside him behind Fifth Uncle. Then he pressed Fifth Uncle's shoulder and asked him to sit down.

After Fifth Uncle sat down, he looked at the bodyguards who had almost filled up all the chairs and stools in the house, and then looked at the pile of cigarettes, alcohol, and candies on the table. He immediately said, "Oh, why did you bring so many things? Xiao Sanzi, your friends are too polite. When you leave, you can take all these things back."

"Fifth Uncle, they only bought a little bit. Most of these were bought by Lou Yuchen and I. It's the first time my husband comes to visit, so I have to prepare some gifts, right?" Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen and blinked, "Isn't that right?"

After receiving Qiu Shui's signal, Lou Yuchen looked at the cigarettes and alcohol on the table, which were actually very cheap, and nodded reluctantly, "Yeah."

"You don't need so much. It's not easy for you young people to make money." The fifth uncle looked at the five bottles of daughter's red wine, five packs of cigarettes, and some candies, brown sugar and the like on the table. The table is almost full of things.

"It's okay, Fifth Uncle. He has money." Qiu Shui stood next to Fifth Uncle and said with a smile.

"You kid." Fifth Uncle raised his hand and slapped Qiu Shui's back of the hand. "You are rude. Even if Xiaolou is rich, you can't waste other people's money like this as long as you are not married."

"It doesn't matter, my money is also his money." Lou Yuchen actually wanted to say that Qiu Shui was richer than him.

After hearing what Lou Yuchen said, Fifth Uncle looked at him with satisfaction.

This guy is good.

Although he had been blaming Qiu Shui, he was also secretly observing Lou Yuchen.

Lou Yuchen's gaze was on Qiu Shui the entire time. There is autumn water in his eyes.

It can be seen that he cares a lot about Qiu Shui.

The fifth uncle nodded with satisfaction and said to Lou Yuchen, "Xiao Lou, drink some water. You must be thirsty after running such a long distance. I don't like drinking tea very much. So there is no tea leaves at home. It's really rude."

"It's okay, we like to drink boiled water too." Lou Yuchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile in his eyes.

Since being with Qiu Shui, he seems to smile more often.

"Yes, we like to drink boiled water."

"I don't like the taste of tea either. It's better to drink boiled water."

The bodyguards also echoed.

Because he was returning to his hometown in the countryside this time, the bodyguards Qiu Shui brought with him were all men, and they were all Chinese.

If you bring a female bodyguard with you, it will easily attract criticism from the villagers.

"You must be hungry after coming so far. I'll go cook for you."

As he said this, Fifth Uncle was about to get up.

Qiu Shui quickly grabbed his fifth uncle.

"No need, Fifth Uncle, we've already eaten at noon. We're not hungry."

Qiu Shui and others had already had lunch on the plane.

Since we were all traveling first class, the lunch we had was very rich. The taste is pretty good.

Then, Fifth Uncle started chatting with Lou Yuchen.

Find out about Lou Yuchen's situation in various ways.

Qiu Shui felt relieved when he saw that his fifth uncle seemed to be in good spirits.

It seems that there is really nothing wrong with Fifth Uncle's health.

Seeing that Fifth Uncle and Lou Yuchen had almost finished chatting, Qiu Shui said, "Fifth Uncle, why are you the only one at home today? Where are Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi?"

Uncle Daqing is the son of my fifth uncle, and Shuanzi is his grandson.

Speaking of which, my fifth uncle’s family is actually quite miserable.

My fifth uncle was born with some disabilities in his legs and feet. Later, he finally got married and gave birth to Uncle Daqing.

As it turned out, Uncle Daqing was also born with a disability.

His legs and feet are the same as my fifth uncle's.

Later, when Uncle Daqing was a teenager, his fifth aunt died of illness.

After Uncle Daqing got married, he gave birth to Shuanzi.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the embolus.

However, because the family was poor at the time, Uncle Daqing's wife abandoned her husband and children and ran away.

From then on, Uncle Daqing and his fifth uncle raised Shuanzi together.

Later, when Qiu Shui's father became an orphan, it was his fifth uncle's family who supported Qiu Shui's father.

So even if the two families are not related by blood, they are still relatives among relatives.

After Qiu Shui's family got into trouble, it was his fifth uncle's family who helped Qiu Shui.

"Your uncle Daqing and Shuanzi took the puppies born by Dahuang out to sell today."

The fifth uncle glanced at the wall clock and said, "It's about time for him to come back."

"Did Dahuang give birth to puppies again? How many did she give birth to?" Qiu Shui reached out and rubbed Dahuang who was squatting at his feet.

Uncle Wu said, "Seven were born. When they are one month old, I will ask Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi to catch them and sell them in the town. We can also buy some things while we're at it."

Just then, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

The middle-aged woman panted and said to Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, it's bad. Daqing and Shuanzi were riding their motorcycles back to the ancestral hall when they accidentally hit the village chief's son's car. Now the village chief's son is holding Daqing and Shuanzi and asking them to pay compensation."

"What?"

The fifth uncle suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Quick, go and take a look."

Having said that, Fifth Uncle walked out in a hurry.

Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The village where Qiu Shui lives is called Qiujia Village.

Most people in the village have the surname Qiu.

The village ancestral hall is very close to my fifth uncle’s home, and it’s only two or three minutes’ walk away.

I saw a white car parked diagonally in front of the entrance of the ancestral hall. There were two gray scratches on the right rear door of the car.

Next to the car was a fallen motorcycle.

There is a cage made of bamboo on the back of the motorcycle.

A middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties stood in front of the motorcycle. Both of them wore helmets on their heads.

A young man wearing a suit, with a slicked-back hair and dressed brightly and beautifully, is now facing the two of them.

There were many people watching around.

"Uncle Daqing, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, we are from the same village. Although my car is insured, I can't possibly pay for your mistake. Besides, I just bought my car less than a week ago. You guys are using it, so my car needs to go back to the factory. The depreciation fee will definitely be charged to you. The depreciation fee and the repair fee together will be 20,000 yuan for you."

"Twenty thousand?" Qiu Daqing showed a panicked look on his face, "How could it be so much?"

Qiu Shuanzi angrily said, "Qiu Mingxuan, our car was driving normally. It was you who wanted to overtake our car and honked, which scared me, so I accidentally bumped into your car."

"You said I honked to overtake?" Qiu Mingxuan sneered, "Don't think you can say anything just because my car doesn't have a dashcam and there's no surveillance on this road. It was obviously you who overtook me and hit me."

"You are talking nonsense." Qiu Shuanzi was very angry. "How can you confuse right and wrong?"

"Mingxuan, you...how can you talk nonsense?" Qiu Daqing looked at Qiu Mingxuan in disbelief.

It was clearly Qiu Mingxuan who honked his horn when he was overtaking their car, which scared his son. That's why their car accidentally scratched Qiu Mingxuan's car.

Now Qiu Mingxuan actually turned around and said that they were the ones who overtook and scratched his car?

Isn't this confusing right and wrong?

"I'm talking nonsense? You guys are talking nonsense."

Qiu Mingxuan pointed at his car and said, "I bought this car less than a week ago. Am I mentally ill? Did I honk the horn on purpose to scare you and let you use my car? What am I trying to do? Everyone present, please give your opinion."

An old lady stood up and said to the father and son, "Yes, Daqing, you have to be realistic. We are all from the same village. You used Mingxuan's car, so you should pay as much as you should. How can you evade responsibility and wrongly accuse Mingxuan?"

Another uncle also stood up and said, "Daqing, we should be honest. You hit Mingxuan's car, you have to admit it."

Others also echoed.

"It's ok that Daqing has a lame leg, but why is his heart also lame?"

"Mingxuan is also unlucky. He finally bought a new car, but it was stolen before he even got home."

"I'd be heartbroken if this new car became like this. A car worth more than 500,000 yuan must be expensive to repair."

"The most important thing is that Daqing and Shuanzi still refuse to admit it. I think they saw that Mingxuan's car didn't have a dashcam and there was no surveillance here. That's why they want to cheat."

"This is too much. Daqing, Shuanzi, you should apologize to Mingxuan right away."

"That's right. Mingxuan is a graduate from a prestigious university. How can he wrongly accuse you?"

"Hurry up and apologize and pay the money. Mingxuan is unlucky to have met you."

The onlookers all stood on Qiu Mingxuan's side. He continued to accuse Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi.

"That's not it. That's not it."

Qiu Daqing was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "He really was trying to overtake our car, so we bumped into him accidentally."

"My dad is right. This is Qiu Mingxuan's fault. We are the victims. My dad and I are both hurt."

Qiu Shuanzi became extremely anxious after hearing their accusations.

He simply stretched out his legs and lifted up his pants to let them see his swollen and red knee that was caused by the fall.

"Yes, I'm injured too." Qiu Daqing stretched out his hands so that they could see clearly that his hands were scratched and bleeding.

After seeing the injuries on their bodies, Qiu Mingxuan noticed that the people around him had fallen into silence, and his eyes flashed.

Then a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Forget it, Uncle Daqing, Shuanzi, if you don't want to pay, then don't pay. It's just my bad luck. I was driving a small car and I wasn't hurt. It looks like I can't drive a small car when I go home from now on. If it gets scratched again, I'll have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to repair the car. Dear uncles and aunts, please be more careful in the future."

Qiu Mingxuan shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

Seeing Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi injured, the people around them felt a little bit sorry.

After hearing Qiu Mingxuan's words, the onlookers were immediately stimulated.

Yes, the victim was obviously Qiu Mingxuan. But just because Qiu Mingxuan was driving a small car and was not injured, should Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi be exempted from responsibility?

After that, if their children came over in a car, their relatives might accidentally get hit by the car of Qiu Daqing and his son.

As a result, just because they, a father and son, were riding a motorcycle and got injured, those who drive cars should consider themselves unlucky and pay for the car repairs themselves?

That's too unreasonable.

Qiu Mingxuan's words immediately aroused the anger of the Chinese people.

Everyone started blaming Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi again, and their words were very unpleasant.

"Daqing, you can't do things against your conscience. You are injured, but being injured doesn't mean you are right!"

"That's right. Just because he drives a small car, does that mean he deserves bad luck?"

"I've seen many people committing fraud on TV before. Are you guys trying to commit fraud as well?"

"Now that I think about it, it's really possible. Could it be that the father and son from Daqing saw that Mingxuan was driving a luxury car, so they wanted to take the opportunity to scam Mingxuan?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Daqing and his son seem to be quite honest."

"You don't have X-ray vision, so how do you know if someone appears to be honest but is actually evil at heart?"

"No, we must not let them succeed. Otherwise, who will dare to come to our village in the future?"

"Yeah, you never know. People might think that everyone in our Qiujia Village is a scammer. If that happens, won't the people in our Qiujia Village be criticized when they go out?"

"Qiu Daqing, hurry up, you did something wrong, you should be responsible. Pay compensation to Mingxuan quickly."

"That's right, pay the money quickly and don't try to act pitiful and evade responsibility."

The villagers around were all filled with righteous indignation, as if the scratched car was theirs. Forcing Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi to pay compensation to Qiu Mingxuan.

Qiu Mingxuan saw that he had made these people stand on his side with just a few words, and a look of pride appeared in his eyes.

On the surface, he pretended to be understanding and said, "Uncle Daqing, Shuanzi, you have seen it too. Everyone thinks that you did something wrong. Just express your opinions."

Faced with everyone's accusations, Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi, father and son, were unable to defend themselves.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone looked over and saw Fifth Uncle walking over with the support of two young men.

Behind them, there were a dozen tall men.

"dad."

"grandfather."

Seeing their fifth uncle coming, Qiu Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi seemed to have found their backbone.

When everyone saw Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen supporting the fifth uncle, they were stunned.

Although Qiu Shui's changes are quite big, everyone can still recognize him.

What surprised everyone was that Lou Yuchen was a stranger who was more beautiful than a female star.

They were all wondering who this good-looking person was.

When Qiu Mingxuan saw Lou Yuchen, he was also stunned.

If Lou Yuchen wasn't wearing men's clothes and was so tall, he would have thought Lou Yuchen was a woman.

But compared to Lou Yuchen, Qiu Mingxuan cares more about Qiu Shui.

In Qiu Mingxuan's impression, Qiu Shui was just a young boy.

She is not good-looking and her family is not as rich as his. The results are not good either.

After he was admitted to university, he killed his parents.

He is the most unpopular person in the village.

However, such a person who should be humble to the dust suddenly appeared in front of him in a glamorous and brilliant manner.

Obviously, he was wearing the same clothes as an ordinary person. But his temperament is better than the people around him. Standing in the crowd, she is as dazzling as the bright moon.

Qiu Mingxuan asked with a slightly uncertain tone: "Are you Qiu Shui?"

"It's me." Qiu Shui glanced at Qiu Mingxuan indifferently.

Qiu Shui disliked the village chief's son from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, when Qiu Shui's adoptive parents were still alive, Qiu Mingxuan relied on being the son of the village chief and joined forces with his peers in the village to isolate him.

He was bullied secretly many times.

Qiu Shui doesn't care about these.

However, after Qiu Shui's adoptive parents passed away, Qiu Mingxuan spread rumors about him everywhere, saying that he was the one who killed his adoptive parents.

That's why everyone in the village dislikes Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui simply didn't like those people in the village. Now in the village, he only cared about his fifth uncle's family, and didn't care about anyone else.

Later, after Qiu Shui went to college, he was busy working to make money and rarely came back. I never met Qiu Mingxuan again.

Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, he saw Qiu Mingxuan and a group of people bullying Uncle Daqing and Qiu Shuanzi.

After so many years, this guy still can't change his habit of eating shit.

At first, Qiu Mingxuan was bewitched by Qiu Shui's unique temperament at first sight.

Looking closely, the person is still the same person.

I sneered in my heart, thinking that he must have gone to Kyoto and learned something. Just come back and pretend.

But she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said in a very intimate tone: "Qiu Shui, I haven't seen you for a long time. I almost didn't recognize you."

Qiu Shui looked at him, still being as hypocritical as before, and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You haven't changed. Tell me, what's going on."

A woman in her fifties standing nearby said, "What else could it be? Daqing and Shuanzi bumped into Mingxuan's car in order to overtake."

"He overtook Mingxuan's car and hit Mingxuan, but he turned around and wrongly accused Mingxuan. Uncle Wu, you have to have a good talk with Daqing and Shuanzi."

Others also echoed.

"Yes, yes. How can we do such a thing that goes against our conscience?"

"Mingxuan bought this car for more than 500,000 yuan, and he has only been driving it for less than a week. It has been damaged like this. Asking Daqing to pay 20,000 yuan is already a consideration for the sake of being from the same village."

"We can't let Mingxuan just accept his bad luck just because he drives a small car. If people from other villages knew about this, who would dare to come to our village in the future?"

After hearing what everyone said, Uncle Wu's face immediately darkened and he asked Qiu Daqing, "Is what they said true?"

"Dad, it's not like that. You know I'm not that kind of person."

Qiu Daqing almost cried when he remembered it.

Qiu Shuanzi also anxiously explained to his great uncle, "Grandpa, we didn't overtake and hit his car. He overtook and honked the horn. I got scared and accidentally hit his car. Grandpa, you have to believe us."

Qiu Shuanzi's eyes were already wet with anxiety. He grabbed Qiu Shui's arm and said in a choked voice: "Brother Qiu Shui, what I said is true."

"I believe you." Qiu Shui patted the back of Qiu Shuanzi's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't worry."

When the fifth uncle saw his son and grandson looking so aggrieved, he believed what they said in his heart.

But it’s not enough for him to believe it alone, other people must believe it too!

"You said that Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi hit your car in order to overtake?" Qiu Shui took two steps forward and questioned Qiu Mingxuan.

Qiu Mingxuan said without hesitation: "That's right."

Although Qiu Shui and his group also came with a lot of people, the surrounding villagers had already stood on his side, which gave him tremendous confidence.

"Does your car have a dashcam?" Qiu Shui asked

Qiu Mingxuan said: "No."

Qiu Shui asked again, "Is there a surveillance camera here, or did someone see Uncle Daqing and his car and bump into your car in order to overtake?"

Qiu Mingxuan shook his head, "Neither."

The lady who had been speaking for Qiu Mingxuan interrupted and said, "It is precisely because they have nothing that Daqing and Shuanzi wrongly accuse Mingxuan."

Qiu Shui glanced at the middle-aged woman coldly, "Since there is nothing wrong, then what basis do you have to say that it is Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi's fault?"

The lady put her hands on her hips and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's their fault, and they just admitted that they bumped into Mingxuan's car. Everyone heard it."

"Yes, we all heard it." The others nodded.

Qiu Shui snorted coldly, "Then why didn't you hear Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi say that it was him who caused the accident by overtaking? There is no evidence. Why do you only believe Qiu Mingxuan's words and not Uncle Daqing and Shuanzi's words?"

Qiu Shui sneered, "Is it because Qiu Mingxuan drives a luxury car and is the son of the village chief?"

When the others heard Qiu Shui's words, their faces suddenly changed.

"Hey, little Sanzi, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you going to say that we are trying to please the village chief, protect Mingxuan, and bully Daqing and his son?"

"Heh, I didn't say much." Qiu Shui had already seen clearly the faces of these villagers. Too lazy to argue with them.

Qiu Shui said coldly to Qiu Mingxuan, "You want compensation, right? Sure. I'll call the police now and have them come over to determine the responsibility. We should pay, and we won't give less. But don't think about escaping from your responsibility."

After saying that, Qiu Shui immediately took out his cell phone.

When Qiu Mingxuan saw that Qiu Shui was really going to call the police, he suddenly felt guilty.

"It's just a small matter, how can you trouble the police? I'll just call it bad luck today. I can fix my car myself. My dad is waiting for me at home, so let's just leave it at that."

After saying that, Qiu Mingxuan wanted to open the car door.

As a result, a bodyguard behind Qiu Shui stepped forward and locked his car door.
