After coming back, Old Lady Qin thought about it again and again, and still felt that Lin Ran was the most suitable.
After all, Lin Ran has the best conditions among the rural girls.
Of course, there was also an element of anger towards the Zheng family.
Moreover, Lin Weiguo is the team leader. If the two families get married, the Qin family will be able to do whatever they want in the Tashan Team in the future.
As for being rejected by the Lin family today, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Lin Weiguo only used Lin Ran's young age as an excuse and didn't directly refuse, right?
If she remembered correctly, it seemed that Lin Ran had been very close to the second brother since childhood.
Then as long as the second brother can take down Lin Ran, I believe Lin Weiguo and his wife will have to agree.
Old Lady Qin's plan was perfect, but she never expected that her son would disagree.
After Qin Jianye recovered from his initial shock, the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.
He tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in his heart and shook his head in objection.
"How can that be? I'm seven years older than Ranran, and I've always treated her as my own sister. How can a brother and sister be together?"
Old Mrs. Qin glanced at him sideways, looking indifferent.
"You two are not siblings, so why can't you be together? Besides, although you are a little older than Ran, you will be more caring when you are older. It's only seven years older, what's the big deal?"
"Besides, your father and I went to the Lin family to discuss marriage today."
"What? You guys said that? What did Uncle Lin say to Miss Ranran?"
Qin Jianye was shocked. He never expected that his parents would act so quickly and go to the Lin family to arrange a marriage for him without his consent.
However, when he asked this question, there was an expectation in his tone that he himself was not aware of.
Old Mrs. Qin would definitely not tell her son about the Lin family’s refusal, as she knew her son too well.
If Qin Jianye knew the Lin family's attitude, this matter would definitely fail, and he would never dare to go find Lin Ran even if he was beaten to death.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin's triangular eyes flashed, and she said deliberately ambiguously:
"Well, as the woman, I'm sure I'll have to say a few words to Qiao. Anyway, the Lin family has no objection. As for whether this marriage can be successful, it all depends on how you get along with Ran."
"So, as the man, you must take the initiative in everything. As long as Ran agrees, your marriage can be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"
Qin Jianye's heart moved, and he subconsciously asked:
"Did Ranran say anything? What was her reaction to this?"
"How can a girl like her react? It's all her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. But it's right for a girl to be reserved. Although I see she didn't say a word, she must be happy in her heart."
Old Lady Qin was confident that she had not said anything nonsense, as Lin Ran had not said a word in the first place.
However, from Qin Jianye's reaction, she realized that her son did not only regard Lin Ran as his sister as he said.
She immediately took the opportunity to instigate:
"If you really want to know what Ran is thinking, why don't you ask her yourself?"
As expected, Qin Jianye's ears began to turn red, and he avoided Old Lady Qin's all-knowing eyes a little uncomfortably.
Just as Old Lady Qin was about to give a few more words of advice, Lin Meng's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"Brother Qin, I heard that you've returned from the county town. Are you home?"
Old Mrs. Qin was very dissatisfied with being interrupted.
"Why does Meng Yatou always come to see you every time you come back? Does she have any feelings for you?"
Thinking of this, she quickly told Qin Jianye:
"Mom is warning you, I only recognize Ran as your wife, don't get involved with Meng."
"Who are these Lin Weijia people? If it weren't for the support of his eldest brother, Captain Lin Weiguo, I wonder what their life would be like!"
Qin Jianye was completely upset after hearing this. His mother was really worrying about nothing. He and Lin Meng?
It's absolutely impossible!
"Mom, you're overthinking it. The last time she came to me, she just wanted me to take her to the county town. I haven't spoken to her much, and we haven't interacted much. We're not very familiar with each other."
After hearing this, Old Lady Qin finally felt relieved.
"Okay then. Remember to keep your distance from her from now on. Otherwise, if Ran sees you, she might misunderstand you."
Qin Jianye didn't take this matter seriously at first, but when he heard what Old Lady Qin said, his expression suddenly became serious.
"Got it. I'll send them away right away."
Obviously listened.
Lin Meng, who was outside the door, had no time to say anything when she saw Qin Jianye, and heard Qin Jianye chasing someone away.
Lin Meng: “…”
"Brother Qin, I'm not here to bother you. I just want to ask when you're going back to the county. I want to go with you so I can take care of you on the way."
Qin Jianye immediately refused when he heard this.
"If you want to go to the county town, you can go by yourself. You don't have to wait for me to go with you."
Suddenly he thought of the last time he took Lin Meng to the county town, and he wondered if Lin Ran would misunderstand.
No, he has to find a chance to explain it again.
Lin Meng's face froze when she heard this. She didn't expect Qin Jianye to reject even her request.
To be honest, she really didn't want to pester the male lead to develop feelings this time.
She had heard about the last time Lin Ran and his friends encountered bandits on the road, so she wanted to go with the male protagonist and seek protection.
Besides, she went to the county town to do serious work. She finally earned twenty yuan, so she had to reward herself well.
Of course, her pursuit is definitely more than just twenty dollars.
Now that she has the capital, she must make good use of the twenty dollars.
She remembered all the ways the heroines in period novels used to make their fortunes.
Things like picking up antiques at scrap yards, finding bargains on the black market, engaging in speculation, etc...
Seeing that the dark period would end in two years, she couldn't miss this great opportunity to make a fortune!
So facing Qin Jianye's stern rejection, Lin Meng could only continue to pretend to be clever.
"Brother Qin, please be kind and take me with you. I'm a girl, and if I go out alone, what if I run into bad guys?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Jianye's attitude indeed became hesitant.
Even though he was unwilling in his heart, his instinct as a soldier made him unable to utter a word of rebuttal no matter how hard he tried.
In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head in frustration and compromise.
"I'll leave at four o'clock the day after tomorrow. You can just wait for me at the village entrance."
Having achieved her goal, Lin Meng immediately said goodbye and left, fearing that Qin Jianye would go back on his word.
The next day.
Lin Ran had just finished her inspection when Qin Jianye came over.
The two stood on the edge of the field, looking at the figures busy in the fields in the distance.
Qin Jianye was still thinking about what happened last time and was worried that Lin Ran would misunderstand him, so he started explaining as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sister Ranran, the last time I took Lin Meng to the county town, she said she didn't know the way, so she asked me to help lead the way. I didn't actually say a few words to her."
Lin Ran interrupted him with a chuckle.
"Brother Qin, you don't need to tell me about this. I don't care. No matter what you do or who you are with, it's your freedom."
Seeing that Lin Ran had no misunderstanding, Qin Jianye naturally breathed a sigh of relief, but why did he feel a little disappointed when he should have been happy about it?
