Brother Sun frowned as he listened.
His brows were so furrowed they almost formed a small mountain.
What started as a straightforward love confession has now evolved into a marriage proposal.
Brother Sun then became smug again.
Hmph!
Let's see how she handles this.
This really worried Qiao Jingjing to death.
The Sun brothers really put her in a difficult position.
Qiao Jingjing, having lived here for so many years, was actually quite naive. She thought, "Isn't it just about doing agriculture in a different place, and writing my graduation thesis about the vast land of China and a particular era?"
She was down-to-earth and worked diligently in agriculture, making sure her family had enough to eat, clothes to wear, and that they weren't bullied.
This is her greatest wish.
But this one now!
Brother Sun wrote a love letter.
Sun Lao Er, not wanting to miss out on trouble, even brought a whole truckload of gifts and came in a grand procession to propose marriage to his father.
Old Man Qiao had already called Qiao Jingjing into the house, and the father and daughter talked face to face.
"What is my opinion on this matter, Qiao'er?"
Qiao Jingjing lowered her head.
Even if she told her father what she meant, would he understand?
If she married this Brother Sun, he would die a horrible death within a few months, and she would become a widow. The crucial point is, Old Man Qiao wouldn't heed her prophetic words.
“Father, I… disagree with this.”
"You disagree?"
"Sister, how can you disagree?"
Qiao Er and Qiao San jumped out from the corner at the same time, followed by He Miaomiao and Qiao Manman.
"Sister, are you lying? General Sun asked you for his hand in marriage, and you refused?"
"Sister, are you out of your mind?"
“I understand, you're a girl, so it's understandable to put on a show to make us seem less subservient! But Sister Da Qiao, don't forget who this person is? It's Sun Ce, he commands a large army.”
Qiao Er and Qiao San seemed very coercive.
He Miaomiao is also able to analyze the pros and cons.
Only Qiao Manman remained silent.
Qiao Jingjing covered her ears and gazed at the pile of gifts in the house over there.
She said, "Here's what we'll do, Father. Please make a trip and you and Qiao Er and Qiao San personally deliver these gifts back. Just say: 'We are not worthy of General Sun's family.'"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Er and Qiao San gaped in astonishment.
Old Man Joe also looked troubled.
He Miaomiao tugged at Qiao Er's sleeve, her face contorted with anger.
"Sister, if you're going to do this, you go by yourself. Qiao San and I aren't going!"
“Sun Ce is so terrifying when he gets angry; he kills without blinking an eye. If he gets really angry later, and innocent bystanders are caught in the crossfire, it's not certain whether my second son and grandfather will even be able to come back with their heads.”
After this discussion, even returning the gift became a major difficulty for Qiao Jingjing.
For the next three days, every person Qiao Jingjing met at the Qiao family home looked at her with the same expectant eyes, hoping she would agree and give in.
He Miaomiao went the far way; she had already started preparing Qiao Jingjing's dowry.
Having endured that ordeal, He Miaomiao became more cautious in her words and actions at home, and often behaved very obediently.
“My dear Sister Qiao, you’ve found a wonderful husband. We’re all so happy for you. You don’t have a lot of stuff at home, but if you organize it, you can carry dozens of loads. It’s just that times are tough right now, and there’s no good fabric available. I’m sorry to have to make do with this for Sister Qiao.”
Qiao Jingjing had nowhere to cry after hearing these words.
Finally, Qiao Jingjing was forced to stop sitting still.
She held the hot letter in her hand; the paper was so rough, much worse than the love letter Talking Tom gave to the little white cat.
She wore a mask and personally went to the mansion where Sun Ce now works and lives.
