Chapter 234 If you can't speak, then shut up.
Qin Yunzhi laughed along, "I think it's great. Most families are like this nowadays. No matter what, if the men in the family are the pillars of the household, it's a great help to the women."
"Yes, that's how it is in most cases, but what if your family sold your sister off? Marriage is just a transaction. Do you think other female classmates would dare to go to a family like that?"
Cheng Zhen's words implied that Qin Yunzhi was no match for Lin Xiaotao, and that Lin Xiaotao didn't even think much of him!
Qin Yunzhi smiled.
"You seem very confident." Cheng Zhen narrowed his eyes.
Cheng Zhen didn't really care about the person in front of him, but there was one truth to it: feelings are unpredictable, and no one knows who will fall for whom. Cheng Zhen had seen Qin Yunzhi's behavior these past few days and knew what he was going to do. It was precisely because he knew that he wanted this person to back down.
But clearly, Qin Yunzhi didn't understand this principle.
"I'm not entirely sure, but relationships are a matter of mutual consent, and everyone is competing fairly."
"Who's competing fairly with you!" Cheng Zhen said with a displeased expression.
"What? Losing confidence? So Young Master Cheng isn't a confident person after all."
"You think you can anger me by saying that?"
"No, I just feel that, well, it depends on one's own abilities."
"You don't have that ability. Tell me, if I told Lin Xiaotao about your background, would she still approach you?"
"There's something that Young Master Cheng probably doesn't know: girls are often much more emotional than us, while we are quite rational."
"Don't forget the fellow villagers around Lin Xiaotao."
"What are they? They're nothing. As long as Lin Xiaotao is happy, nobody can stop her."
"You seem very confident."
"Does Young Master Cheng lack self-confidence?"
"Fine, since you're not going to back down voluntarily, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I'm ready to serve you anytime."
The two parted on bad terms, while Li Zhen and his companion, who had been eavesdropping, were left speechless.
After a long while, we looked at each other, speechless.
"What are we?" Song Yi pointed to himself.
“We are indeed nothing.” Li Zhen’s expression was cold, even tinged with anger.
Li Zhen looked down on both Cheng Zhen and that Qin Yunzhi.
What is that?!
Moreover, a little peach blossom is a little peach blossom; it's not something they can use to criticize or judge, nor can it be claimed by anyone's opinion.
People like that, haha, get the hell out of here!
"It seems we were too kind."
"Then let's not be kind." Li Zhen sneered. The two exchanged a glance, both understanding the other's thoughts. Fine, that's how it will be!
So, without Xiao Taohua's knowledge, a lot of rumors suddenly appeared at school, saying that Qin Yunzhi was supported by his several older sisters, and that his sisters' marriages were even arranged to provide him with living expenses and tuition fees. They claimed that Qin Yunzhi had survived all these years by sacrificing his sisters.
For example, Cheng Zhen is ruthless, treacherous, and capable of killing without shedding blood.
Of course, Cheng Zhen's story is a bit far-fetched, but rumors can become truths over time, and they are indeed all facts, without any fabrication.
Even as the rumors were still circulating, several raggedly dressed people suddenly appeared outside the school. At that moment, several of the parties involved—Xiao Taohua, Li Zhen, Song Yi, Cheng Zhen, Peng Li, and Qin Yunzhi—were present.
Little Peach Blossom looked at the three people dressed in tattered clothes, glanced at Qin Yunzhi, and then at Li Zhen.
"Don't worry about it, it's none of our business."
"Okay." Little Peach Blossom nodded obediently and followed beside her.
As for Qin Yunzhi, his expression was far from pleasant: "Why are you all here?"
"Yunzhi, you must save your sister! She's going to die if you don't save her!"
"Mom, this isn't the place to talk. Can we find somewhere else first?"
"No, we'll say it right here. Yunzhi, it's not that your mother is forcing you, but only you can handle this. Look at us, we're so pitiful."
Qin's mother sobbed and rambled on, but she also explained what had happened.
The people who came were Qin Yunzhi's eldest sister and eldest daughter, who was also the first to get married. Qin Yunzhi had three older sisters, and each of them doted on their younger brother, always saving the best things for him.
People from the countryside, even if they have some good things, they only have so many. The husbands' families of the older sisters just turn a blind eye to it.
But Qin Yunzhi's eldest sister couldn't make ends meet, so she came to him.
After all, the only person who could make decisions for her was her younger brother.
"Your brother-in-law is a monster! He's having an affair and wants a divorce. His whole family knows, but he's keeping it from me. I've worked so hard all these years, and now he's kicking me out! Brother, you have to stand up for me!" Sister Qin cried pitifully; she was truly on the verge of collapse.
She has been married into her husband's family for so many years. Even if she doesn't have any merits, she has certainly worked hard.
But they just said they wanted a divorce, without any regard for their years of relationship or the children they had already had.
Yes, she only gave birth to one daughter over the years, which damaged her health, but she's been trying her best to recover. But is health so easily restored? She was injured back then to save her husband, who swore he would take good care of her for the rest of his life. Now, those vows still ring in her ears, but he's changed, welcoming a new love and abandoning the old.
The crying continued incessantly, and Qin Yunzhi grew impatient. He looked at Lin Xiaotao and could only comfort her, "Big sister, I'll take care of this for you."
"I knew you were the best. My older sister had no choice but to bring Mother and your niece along."
"Okay, you guys wait here for me. I'll go ask the professor for leave, and then I'll go back with you."
"Little brother, you're so kind." Sister Qin was moved to tears.
Her only hope was her younger brother. If even he wouldn't help her, Sister Qin didn't know who else she could turn to for help.
"Okay, I'll be back soon. Lin Xiaotao, could you please look after my sister and the others for me? I'll be back very soon."
“No problem.” Little Peach Blossom didn’t think it was a big deal and nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, sir." She said, and ran towards the campus.
This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, and Sister Qin and the others should be taken away quickly.
"Lin Xiaotao, look at Qin Yunzhi's family. Who knows what kind of hardship the women who marry into their family will suffer." Peng Li looked at the three women, including Sister Qin, with disdain. It was true, he had never seen anyone dressed so shabbily before. How poor must they be?
Moreover, Qin Yunzhi looks quite well dressed.
"Can't you speak properly!" Li Zhen frowned.
Peng Li's words sounded out of place, especially since they were directed at Xiao Taohua.
Little Peach Blossom has nothing to do with Qin Yunzhi.
But Peng Li's words made it seem like there was a connection.
"Ah, sorry, I misspoke." Peng Li slapped himself in the face.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Peng Li made a gesture of pulling his mouth shut.
