In just a few words, Qu Baosheng said that forcing Qu Songsheng and his family to stay was a voluntary decision.
He also started praising mode and praised Qu Songsheng and Lin Wanxia in front of everyone.
What they said: "Song Sheng is a filial son. He knows that it is unlucky to go to his wife's parents' house for the New Year, so why would he be willing to go?"
"Wanxia is a good daughter-in-law. Our family is not well off. But she never complained about the hardships after she married in. She worked hard without complaint."
"The house is in a bad state right now, but luckily both of us are good with our hands, so it should be fine if we clean it up and move in..."
The more Qu Songsheng listened to his elder brother's words, the greener his face turned.
He used to respect his elder brother very much and would listen to almost everything he said.
Even when he got married, the family could only give him the worst room in the house.
He was reluctant at first, but his eldest brother persuaded him to accept it, and he did.
Because he agreed with what his elder brother said: A real man should earn his own fortune if he has the ability, and not rely on his parents.
But now, even that little house is ruined.
He and his wife and daughter had no place to stay.
The eldest brother spoke in a very high-sounding manner, but was reluctant to give him a room.
Thinking of this, Qu Songsheng couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother, the smoke in that room is too strong. Even if we adults can live there, Manman can't stand it."
Qu Baosheng played dumb: "Ah - just open the windows and let the smoke go!"
Qu Songsheng: "It's winter now. If the wind blows too much, the child will get sick."
Qu Baosheng: "How much smoke can a fire produce? It will dissipate in half a day at most."
Seeing that his elder brother was unmoved, Qu Songsheng was anxious and could only say frankly: "I don't want to live in that room. Since my elder brother can't spare a room for me, I'd better send Wanxia back to her parents' home."
"Qu Songsheng——"
When Qu Baosheng heard this, his face changed and he directly called out Qu Songsheng's full name.
In full view of everyone, he rushed over and grabbed Qu Songsheng's arm.
He pulled him aside and scolded him in a low voice: "Song Sheng, what do you mean?"
"You're trying to make things difficult for me, aren't you?"
"I've already told your family to stay, but you still want to leave. Are you trying to slap me in the face?"
"If I can't even control you, how can I still have prestige in the village in the future?"
"I'm warning you—"
Qu Baosheng finally revealed the main reason why he wanted to stay with his family: "After the New Year, the village will have an election, and I am at a critical period."
"Don't mess me up."
"If I don't get elected secretary because of this, you'll be the one to blame."
I see!
Qu Songsheng looked at his elder brother at this moment with eyes full of disappointment.
It turned out that just as Manman said, Qu Baosheng wanted to keep their family.
It's not because of concern at all.
But he was afraid that if his family went to his wife's parents' house to celebrate the New Year, it would cause bad public opinion.
Affect Qu Baosheng's election as village party secretary next year.
My eldest brother is really a selfish person.
Qu Songsheng, who had figured it out, was too lazy to even argue with the other party.
In order to get away as quickly as possible.
He looked into the other person's eyes and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but——"
Before Qu Baosheng could show any joy on his face.
He changed the subject:
"The smoke in the house is too strong now. Manman is still young and can't handle it."
"Wanxia has just finished her confinement, so I'll send her and her mother to stay at Yue's house for two days."
"I'll come back and fix the house myself."
This is what Qu Songsheng said to fool Qu Baosheng because he didn't want to continue arguing with him.
Qu Baosheng didn't want to agree at first, but seeing Qu Songsheng's gloomy eyes at this moment.
I know that if I continue to stop him, the other party will rebel.
He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, you send your sister-in-law and the child back to her parents' home first, and then you come back to repair the house."
"If it's fixed sooner, we can bring mother and daughter back sooner."
"Remember not to spend the New Year at the Lin family."
Afterwards, Qu Baosheng took the initiative to explain Qu Songsheng's arrangement to everyone. He said, "Songsheng loves his wife dearly, and even though Wanxia has finished her confinement, he doesn't want her to be tired."
"Send her and the child back to her parents' home first, and let my mother-in-law help take care of them. This way, Songsheng can free up his hands to repair the house."
Everyone praised Qu Songsheng after hearing this: "Songsheng is such a good man. Lin Wanxia didn't marry the wrong person..."
[Uncle is really good at speaking! ]
Qu Manman was not surprised by this result at all.
Because that's how the original story is. Although Qu Songsheng and his family were stopped, they still went to Yue's house smoothly.
However, the original novel says that the couple also adopted Qu Yingying as their daughter.
It was the Lin family who went there with their two children.
Now there is only one child left to take with me, and I don’t know if there will be any other changes?
Although Qu Manman felt a little happy about changing his fate as a cannon fodder.
But the unknown that she cannot control also makes her worried...
The cart was quietly pulled out of Quwan Village. Lin Wanxia couldn't help but ask her husband, "Are you really planning to come back and fix the house yourself?"
Qu Songsheng shook his head.
He already knew how selfish his eldest brother was.
How can I possibly follow the other party's wishes?
"Brother, you've gone too far."
Lin Wanxia sighed: "You don't know how to repair the house anyway. If he presses you hard, just tell him directly."
Qu Songsheng nodded: "Wherever you and Manman are, I'll be there. We'll talk about the house after the New Year."
【Mom, don't worry. 】
After hearing this, Qu Manman couldn't help but say in her heart: "Dad will definitely live with me at Grandpa's house.
【Dad can’t finish building that house.】
As for why it cannot be repaired?
She was too lazy to talk now.
Hey, why don’t you say anything?
