The two sisters-in-law quickly wiped away their tears. If this happened, they could not remarry, and they would still have to bear the title of Song family daughters-in-law, but they would not be able to eat a single meal from the Song family.
That's even worse than being a beggar.
I hate her to death. That old hag is so vicious! I just hope she dies soon so we can all become old women and stop suffering like this.
Looking at Qiao Yunni not far away, she was surrounded by a group of village women, chatting with them with a smile on her face. She was wearing a fine, warm cotton dress and a pair of gold earrings. She looked radiant and her beautiful face was as white and tender as a peeled egg.
She looked like she had become five years younger, which drew constant stares from the men in the village.
They felt a pang of jealousy.
Qiao Yunni has taken on a new role, but she remains as approachable as ever.
She grew up with many villagers, and the simple and sincere values are deeply ingrained in her. She also knows the hardships of farmers, and even though her status is different, she can still get close to everyone.
As a result, the villagers liked Qiao Yunni even more.
Qin Bu stood at a distance, while his two childhood friends, who were chatting with him, would occasionally glance at Qiao Yunni and give him suggestive looks.
Qin Bu also made contributions in the last battle against the Kui Niu Kingdom and became a squad leader, in charge of a hundred soldiers.
He thought he was good enough for Qiao Yunni, so he worked hard, made more contributions, became a high-ranking soldier, and then proposed to her.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the daughter of a state official, which widened the gap between the two.
No matter how his childhood friend tried to hint at it, Qin Bu kept his eyes down and refused to look in that direction.
Seeing that his childhood friend was getting a little too worked up, Qin Bu frowned again: "We can't do this, lest it ruin Yunni's reputation. You treat me like a brother, so don't bring this up again."
When Qiao Yunni first divorced Song, he acted impulsively in a moment of passion, and later regretted it.
Therefore, he tries to avoid being near her.
"Brother Qin, with the Qiao family's current momentum, who would dare to say a word against them? Do they even care about their lives? I'm just asking if you have the will to do so. If you do, then go for it boldly."
"Yes, Brother Qin has a handsome face and is capable in the army. He will definitely rise to a higher level. It's not that he's not good enough for her."
"I don't know about the future, but I'm not good enough for you right now," Qin Bu said. "I'll work hard for a few years, and if I can climb up, then we'll talk about it."
"In a few years, Miss Chu will probably have remarried."
Qin Bu felt a pang in his heart, but finally smiled and said, "If she meets someone who is good to her and capable, I will wish her well."
After the start of spring, the weather was sunny for several days in a row. Qiao Lian'er lay on a deck chair under the osmanthus tree, basking in the sun, with a dry foxtail grass in her mouth.
The dappled sunlight fell on her, revealing her delicate, youthful face as it blossomed, showcasing the bright and lively spirit of a young girl.
Don't be fooled by her seemingly idle demeanor; she's actually managing her space, eager to unlock the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission feature as soon as possible.
In this way, we won't have to wait for letters to communicate with the Pei brothers.
A few days later, a horse-drawn carriage arrived at the village entrance and drove into Datian Village.
This carriage was inconspicuous and unassuming, yet it exuded an innate air of nobility, attracting the attention of many villagers.
"They're probably someone the Qiao family knows," they discussed.
"Yes, only the Qiao family could befriend such a family."
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a somewhat plump old woman stepped down, asking a villager, "Brother, may I ask where the village head's house is?"
The villagers then gave her directions.
