Chapter 267 Standing Up for the Underdog



"Take it. With these two hundred silver notes, you can not only build a brick house when you go home, but also marry a wife and continue your family line."

There was an ulterior motive in Jiang's father's words.

Qiu Dafu trembled slightly. "I can't accept this money."

“Father, Dafu is not a greedy person. Besides, the Qiu family’s house has already been built. You can keep the money for yourself.” Jiang Liu’s eyes turned cold. No matter how her father tried to stop them, he could not separate them.

Mr. Jiang glared sternly at his daughter, but seeing that Qiu Dafu was determined not to accept the money, he had no choice but to give up.

"Liu'er, I know that you and Qiu Dafu are currently deeply in love, but I can't guarantee that you won't regret marrying him in the future."

A man is a woman's support; can he... afford to support you?

Taking advantage of the occasion of parting, he decided to speak frankly and let Qiu Dafu back down.

Faced with Mr. Jiang's doubts, Qiu Dafu said sincerely, "Uncle Jiang, I can make money."

Not far away, Qiu Yan heard Jiang's father's words, and a dark fire surged within her.

Just as she had guessed, Jiang's father looked down on his second uncle.

Seeing that Qiu Yan's expression had changed, Gu Qian was afraid that she would go forward to argue with Jiang's father, so he quickly pulled her arm away.

"Yan Yan, since Second Uncle wants to marry a daughter of the Jiang family, it's alright for him to be lectured by Lord Jiang a few times. He can handle it."

Qiu Yan exhaled a breath of cold air and calmed herself down.

From the day Qiu Yan examined Jiang Lian, she could tell that Jiang's father was old-fashioned, rigid, and difficult to talk to.

This person, though not exactly a bad person, is inherently arrogant and looks down on those from farming backgrounds.

If you can't prove yourself with your own abilities, he will always look down on you.

...Jiang Liu gently gritted her teeth: "Father, Qiu Dafu is not as bad as you think. He built the entire Baiyang Street, so how could he not support me?"

Furthermore, she can earn money herself.

Father Jiang: "Isn't that a craftsman? You can't marry a craftsman."

For his daughter's future happiness, Mr. Jiang would be willing to be a villain even once.

He felt that although his daughter resented him today, she might be grateful to him in the future.

My daughter has already been married twice; I can't afford to make another mistake.

Jiang Liu knew that her father was a rigid old man, and once he made up his mind, it was very difficult to change it.

But her mind was made up. She would definitely persuade her father in the future.

Hearing this, Qiu Yan felt extremely displeased.

She thought to herself: Sister Jiang's father is such a snob.

She couldn't hold back any longer and stepped out from behind the wall to the front of the crowd, saying, "What's wrong with craftsmen? If there were no craftsmen to build houses with their hearts, wouldn't people have to live on the streets?"

Without craftsmen repairing the city walls, could the people have lived such a peaceful life?

"Lord Jiang, you look down on my second uncle so much, have you forgotten that he once saved the lives of the entire Jiang family?"

She will definitely help her second uncle make good use of this ancient property in the future.

Gu Qian was focused on keeping Qiu Yan under control, fearing that she might go out and confront Jiang's father.

But he still couldn't control her.

If the two families have a falling out, then my second uncle's marriage will become even more difficult.

He got up and followed, standing beside Qiu Yan.

“I don’t mean to look down on your second uncle,” said Jiang’s father, though his words were not what they truly meant.

Qiu Yan: "Lord Jiang, your words have been constantly crushing my second uncle's self-esteem, yet you say you don't look down on him."

My second uncle is a grown man, perfectly capable of supporting his family!

Jiang Liu stood on Qiu Yan's side. "Xiao Yan is right."

Seeing that his daughter was siding with outsiders, and having been rendered speechless by Qiu Yan's few words, Jiang's father was naturally angry.

But they had no choice but to shut up.
