“My mother arranged a marriage for me, and they accepted the betrothal gifts without my consent.”
My mother also said that after my brother gets married, it will be my turn.
Her brother's marriage has been arranged, and they will get married this spring.
Zhao Yuanyuan was filled with grievances, but had no one to confide in.
She spoke very softly, but loud enough for Qiu Yan to hear clearly.
“Yuanyuan, if you don’t want to, you can talk to your family properly.”
Qiu Yan had always known that Zhao Yuanyuan and her uncle were very close, and she also knew that Zhao Yuanyuan had feelings for her uncle.
It's just my uncle.
It seems like something's missing.
"Is Brother Dayu home?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked in a low voice.
“He’s not here.” Qiu Yan shook her head. “He disappeared early this morning. I suppose he went to look for his friends.”
"He doesn't even come looking for me." Zhao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, complaining inwardly that Qiu Dayu only knew how to seek out his cronies.
"When your uncle comes back later, I'll have him come looking for you."
"No, thank you." Zhao Yuanyuan lowered her head shyly. She knew that Qiu Dayu never visited her home unless he had something to do.
Previously, Qiu Dayu was not favored by her mother.
Qiu Dayu, who was being talked about, met with his friends for a while before going to Old Qiu's house.
Although he and Qiu Dayong and his wife did not get along, Yang was, after all, his birth mother, and he still wanted to greet her on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The gate to Old Qiu's house was half-open.
Qiu Dayu slowly pushed open the door and tiptoed inside.
Inside the house, Qiu Dayong saw Qiu Dayu arrive and clenched his fists, about to step forward, but was pulled back by Qian Shi.
Qian was much more tactful than Qiu Dayong.
“Master, what are you doing? Fifth Brother is our god of wealth now. Offending him will not do us any good.”
If they can improve their relationship with Qiu Dayu now, Qiu Dayu might even help their third branch of the family out of trouble.
The current Qiu Dayu is very different from the one before.
What Qian was after was Qiu Dayu's pocket; she wanted to get as much as she could while he was still unmarried.
For example, their family is having a very comfortable year right now.
Qiu Dayong sneered, "What God of Wealth? He can't make a living at Baiyang Restaurant anymore. He was even thinking of stealing my business a couple of days ago."
"That's just your opinion. Qiu Dayu has made some money now, how could he not even afford a donkey?" Anyway, Madam Qian wouldn't believe it.
Her husband is a good-for-nothing.
Seeing the Qiu family members rise to prominence one by one, Qian now looks down on Qiu Dayong.
Every time Qiu Dayong saw Qiu Dafu, he would lower his head and shrink back. Now, he couldn't even compare to Qiu Dayu.
Seeing Qiu Dayu approaching, Madam Qian quickly came out of the house, greeting him with a smile.
"Oh, it's Yu the Great back. Third Sister-in-law knew you were coming today, so she specially prepared braised pork for you. Please stay for dinner later."
Qiu Dayu's expression was indifferent, his usual smile gone. "No need, Xiaoyan and the others are almost ready."
Qian wondered to herself, "Which one is your home, really?"
“Da Yu, your third brother and I had some prejudice against you before, but we are all family, so don’t take it to heart.”
"You know, living with Xiaoyan and the others all the time isn't a good thing. Home is where your mother is. Why don't you move back here?"
“I live with my second brother, and my second brother’s house is my house.”
Qiu Dayu looked impatient. He put it nicely, but a few months ago, when Wang came to his house to collect debts, his third brother and his wife treated him very badly.
To avoid implicating their three branches of the family, they joined forces with Yang to drive him away and prevent him from returning home.
Qian wanted to say more, but saw that Qiu Dayu had already entered Yang's room.
