Chapter 80: Eating a big melon

"Xiao Wan! My dad is here!!"

Qin Yue was so panicked that even her voice was shaking.

Jiang Wan subconsciously looked towards the fishing boat, which was getting closer and closer to the ferry. Standing at the bow with his hands behind his back was a man at least 1.9 meters tall, who looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

Even in modern times she rarely sees people that tall.

In terms of height, Qin Yue obviously did not inherit his father's genes and is short.

"Why are you shaking? Everyone is here. Didn't you say your father loves you very much?"

"The pain doesn't stop me from being afraid of him... Don't you think he's afraid when you see his gloomy face?"

"Don't be afraid. I haven't done anything to worry about."

Jiang Wan saw Qin Yue's father getting off the boat, followed by two strong men armed with swords.

Jiang Wan had seen this outfit this morning when she went to the government office with the village chief.

Good boy!!

Who is Qin Yue's father, that he could even summon the police?

"Sister Qin, is your father an official?"

"Ah... that's right. My father is the new magistrate."

Jiang Wan: “…”

She quietly stood aside, revealing Qin Yue behind her.

Qin Zhen was staring at the two girls at the ferry from afar. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughters were safe and sound.

After he let go of his worry, his anger rose, so his face looked extremely ugly at the moment.

"Ayue!"

Qin Yue's clothes were about to tear when she heard this obviously angry voice. She knew that if her father could come, it must be because her escape had gone too far.

"Dad, I was wrong..."

"You know you're wrong?! You..."

Without waiting for Qin Zhen to finish his lecture, Qin Yue suddenly remembered what Jiang Wan had just taught her, and immediately pinched herself to test it out.

There’s no other way. She doesn’t know how to act coquettishly, so she can only learn to cry.

Qin Yue was ruthless and pinched herself until she burst into tears. In Qin Zhen's eyes, his daughter was frightened by him.

He quickly suppressed his anger and his voice became softer.

"Why are you crying in public? Come on, come home with me first."

"I'm not going back!"

Thinking of going home to continue suffering, Qin Yue couldn't stop crying without being pinched.

"When I go back, I have to study books that I can't understand every day, and practice various etiquette over and over again. I just can't learn them! Wuwuwu..."

Qin Yue simply squatted down and cried with her head in her hands, and her exposed wrists were covered with red and swollen marks.

Qin Zhen had never seen his daughter like this before, and he felt anxious and distressed.

"What happened to your hand?!"

"It was the nanny who beat me! She would beat me every time I forgot the rules! Wuwuwu..."

Qin Yue noticed her father's shocked and distressed look, and immediately rushed over, hugged her father's legs and burst into tears.

"Dad, please send me back to my hometown! I don't want to learn the rules or write. I miss my grandma!"

Qin Zhen felt sad. His daughter was so happy when she followed him to Lizhou Island, but now she was crying and wanted to leave after such a short time.

"Ayue, get up first, and let's go back and talk it over."

"I don't want it! If mom says something to me when I get back, you'll just ignore me. I'm the child that neither my father nor my mother loves!!"

"Nonsense! You are the only daughter your mother and I have, and we love you the most."

Qin Zhen coaxed his daughter with a headache, not caring whether he would be laughed at by outsiders. He quickly promised to dismiss the nanny who taught her the rules when he returned, and to have a good talk with her mother.

"Aren't you going to Yongzhou tomorrow? Once you leave, my mother will definitely make me study non-stop again."

"This……"

Qin Zhen almost forgot about this matter because he was going to Yongzhou for a few days to discuss things.

"You want to come with me?"

Qin Yue shook her head. She would not go. Daddy’s talks were the most boring.

"Can I just stay in this village for a few days? I'll go back when you come back, Dad?"

Jiang Wan, who was standing by, thought something was not right when she heard this and tried to slip away but was grabbed by Qin Yue by the hem of her clothes.

"Father, Jiang Wan and I get along very well. Please let me play in this village for a few days. I haven't had a friend to talk to for a long time..."

"How can you do that? Your mother will be so worried if you don't go home. And you're not a child anymore. How will it look if people find out that you're staying out like this?"

Qin Zhen had no objection to Jiang Wan, a little girl. If his daughter liked to spend more time with her, that was fine, but forget about staying overnight.

Qin Yue knew her father would not agree, but that was not what she was asking for.

"Then I want to go out and play during the day, is that okay?"

The little girl's eyes were red, and she looked as if she would continue to cry if he didn't agree. Qin Zhen was so annoyed that he couldn't stand his daughter's red eyes and finally agreed.

"You can go out to play during the day, but you must bring someone with you. You must be home before 5pm."

"Okay! I promise to be obedient! Daddy is the best!"

Qin Yue finally smiled, but her eyes were red and she was crying, looking pitiful.

"Sister Xiaowan, can I come and play with you tomorrow?"

Jiang Wan nodded. Qin Yue's father had agreed anyway, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

"You can come if you want, but you have to be prepared. There's nothing fun in the village."

"Oh... you're wrong. There are a lot of things to do in the village. I'll take you there tomorrow."

After hearing this, Jiang Wan remembered that Qin Yue also grew up in the village.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."

Jiang Wan pretended not to know Qin Zhen's identity, and went straight home after saying goodbye.

When I got home and called for help, no one was home except my uncle.

"Uncle, where are my mother and the others? Why aren't they at home?"

"They are going to see the excitement..."

Yin Huaishan was full of resentment. He also wanted to go and see the excitement, but it was difficult for him to move without someone to support his legs.

It just so happened that the younger sister's foot was also injured, so his beloved daughter-in-law directly chose the younger sister and walked out without paying any attention to him.

"What's so exciting? What's going on in the village..."

Oh, she remembered.

Most likely, something happened at Xiaoshan’s family.

"Uncle! I'll go take a look too. I'll come back and tell you in detail later!"

Jiang Wan didn't wait for her uncle to say anything and rushed out the door.

Yin Huaishan: “…”

Forget it, just read the book. Books have no feet and cannot run away.

At this time, a large crowd of people gathered outside Lian Fugui's house. At first, everyone just saw Lian Dahai looking for someone to buy the blanks and asked a few more questions out of curiosity, but this question caused a big stir.

It turned out that their family had split up because the old couple exchanged Dahai's son for Dayou. But that was not the end. As soon as Dahai had finished building the wall, a group of men from the village came and said they wanted a wife.

It was written in black and white on the paper that she was selling herself voluntarily, and the name on the contract was Lian Hehua, and she even put her fingerprints on it.

Who in the village wouldn't want to try such a fresh and big melon? So word spread quickly, and almost everyone who hadn't gone out to sea came here.
