Chapter 459: Female devil?
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaohui turned around and tears rolled down her cheeks. Li Jingen looked at her thin back and felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
When Qin Xiaohui was three years old, her mother died of an incurable disease. Guiyuan married Qin Dali when she was four years old.
Qin Xiaohui grew up in poverty. If she hadn't been gifted and had a good uncle who supported her education, she wouldn't have had this fate.
During her college years, she lived on scholarships and odd jobs, and Guiyuan and Qin Dali never asked about her affairs.
But after she completed her studies and was assigned to a good unit, Guiyuan and Qin Dali shamelessly talked to her about family affection.
Qin Xiaohui has always known that Guiyuan had bad intentions towards her, but she still took into account the relationship between father and daughter.
But after experiencing this incident, the only family relationship was severed by Guiyuan and Qin Dali themselves. That's why Qin Xiaohui came to Li Jingen alone to discuss their marriage.
Qin Xiaohui's figure gradually walked away, and Li Jingen was struggling and conflicted.
He rubbed his face in annoyance, staring at Qin Xiaohui's back, but in the end he still lost to himself.
Li Jingen trotted after her, and Qin Xiaohui burst into tears of joy.
“…”
The doorbell rang.
Zhou Yong opened the door holding his granddaughter.
"dad."
"uncle."
Zhou Yong's eyes swept across Li Jingen and Qin Xiaohui's faces. He nodded slightly and walked towards the living room holding his granddaughter.
Jiang Ziqing, who was cooking in the kitchen, thought Li Jingchu had returned from get off work. She leaned out half of her body and saw that it was Li Jingen and Qin Xiaohui. She greeted them and then continued cooking with the nanny.
Li Caiyun was sitting on the sofa holding her grandson. The moment she saw Qin Xiaohui, she smiled and said, "Xiaohui, come and sit down."
Qin Xiaohui sat down and Li Jingen looked at his parents.
"Dad, Mom, I've made up my mind. I want to marry Xiaohui."
Zhou Yong didn't show much reaction: "Just make up your mind."
Li Caiyun sighed helplessly: "We don't object to your marriage, but when it comes to the betrothal gift, you can't just let Xiaohui's parents do it..."
Some things must be said in advance to avoid any misunderstandings.
Qin Xiaohui said: "Auntie, I have made up my mind to marry Jingen and bypass my parents..."
She didn't want any dowry. Her only request was that she and Li Jingchu leave the capital after marriage. They planned to seek development in other cities.
Because they know that if they continue to stay here, not only will it be of no benefit to them, but there is a high possibility that their marriage will be lost.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at each other, and Li Jingen said, "Dad, we want to go back to the provincial capital to develop. It's close to home, so we can go back to see you often..."
As Li Jingen finished speaking, Li Jingchu came back from get off work. Zhou Yong coaxed his granddaughter: "Don't worry about the betrothal gift, we won't make any mistakes. As for other matters, you can discuss it among yourselves..."
Parents cannot stay with their children for their entire lives, so they should let go and let their children make their own choices.
Qin Xiaohui looked at Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun with gratitude in her eyes. Li Jingchu felt that they had talked about most of the things, so he changed the subject and teased his son.
"Everyone get ready, dinner is about to begin."
The dishes were served on the table one after another. Jiang Ziqing untied her apron and picked up her daughter Xiao Lajiao.
The little potato in Li Caiyun's arms refused to accept it and reached out to Jiang Ziqing to hold him.
Jiang Ziqing only has two hands, so she can hold her daughter but not her son. When Li Jingchu saw this, he stood up and picked up Little Potato.
"Mom and Dad, Xiaohui, Jingen, you guys eat first..."
Normally there are two nannies at home to take care of the two children and do housework. Yesterday, one of the nannies went back to her hometown for something at home, so the couple was needed to take care of the children.
Li Caiyun stood up: "Mom is not hungry yet, you eat first..."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were polite to each other. After the nanny cleaned up the kitchen, she came to look after the two children. Only then did Jiang Ziqing and Li Caiyun go to the table to eat.
Jiang Ziqing knew that the nanny hadn't eaten yet, so she ate very quickly. When others were only three-quarters full, she had already put down her bowl and chopsticks and left the table.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun watched Jiang Ziqing's every move, and the couple felt very relieved.
The fact that Jiang Ziqing can take the nanny's feelings into consideration shows that she has a plan for her work.
Zhou Yong was eating leisurely. Li Jingchu said, "Dad, my eldest sister called me today and said she would come to the capital to attend an academic seminar in the next few days..."
Li Caiyun seemed a little excited when she heard this: "What day will your elder sister come over?"
Zhou Kexin is usually very busy and can only go home for a few days during the Chinese New Year, which makes Li Caiyun full of complaints.
"She said it was in the next two days, but my eldest sister didn't mention the specific day..."
Li Caiyun kept nodding, and Zhou Yong showed a smile in his eyes. At this time, the doorbell of Li Jingchu's house rang.
The person who came was Li Jing'an. As soon as he entered the room, he rushed towards the dining table.
Zhou Yong frowned: "Aren't you not coming?"
Li Jing'an is a frequent visitor to Li Jingchu's home. This kid often eats and drinks at his eldest brother's home.
"Dad, you really don't want to see me?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "You little brat, stop picking on me..."
Li Jingan chuckled and sat down on the chair. Li Jingen looked at his brother and shook his head helplessly.
"Second brother, have you set a date for your wedding with my second sister-in-law?"
While eating, Li Jingan asked about this matter.
Li Jingen and Qin Xiaohui looked at each other, and Li Caiyun glared at her old son: "You little brat, don't ask about everything. I will tell you when the wedding date is set..."
Li Jingan looked at Li Caiyun and said, "Mom, the reason why I asked about my second brother's wedding date is because I plan to study abroad. It would be best if my second brother and my second sister-in-law's wedding date is before September..."
This way he can attend his second brother's wedding and then study abroad, otherwise he may not be able to come back by then.
Zhou Yong frowned slightly. He ate quietly without saying a word. Li Caiyun thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about this later."
Just now, Qin Xiaohui and Li Jingen only briefly talked about marriage, and there are many details that have not been discussed yet.
Furthermore, if they plan to return to the provincial capital to develop, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun will have to go back to buy them a wedding house. Add to that the renovation and salary transfer issues, and they may not be able to get married within half a year.
Li Jingen smiled and took over the conversation: "Don't worry, I promise that before you leave, my second brother will marry your second sister-in-law..."
Li Jingan was very excited when he heard this, and Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Jingchu smiled and told his brother Zhou Kexin that he was coming to the capital. The boy said, "Brother, does that devil sister have a boyfriend?"
Female devil?
Li Jingan's words instantly made Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun's faces darken, and Li Jingen on the side couldn't help but laugh.
The couple was about to criticize Li Jing'an, but Li Jingchu saw his parents' intentions, and he quickly winked at his brother and changed the subject.
Li Jing'an shrank his neck, secretly glanced at the unhappy expressions on his parents' faces, and continued to eat.
Qin Xiaohui and Jiang Ziqing looked at each other, and the two sisters-in-law were amused by Li Jingan's funny expression.
Li Jingan didn't care what his two sisters-in-law were laughing at. He just wanted to finish his meal and go back to school quickly and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
After he left, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun coaxed the two children to sleep, and called Li Jingen and Qin Xiaohui over.
