Chapter 151 Of course it was destroyed

Song Jin said with a fake smile: "You Qin family members are really cunning."

Qin Chi said helplessly: "My wife is angry?"

"What if you weren't angry? If this matter gets out of hand, then congratulations to the Qin family. You've become the biggest joke in the area this year, and even the reputation of Qinjiagou has been ruined. Do you want to know what others will say about you?"

Song Jin pretended to be in deep thought, and then as if he had suddenly realized something, he said in a sarcastic tone: "It's like that scholar from Qinjiagou. After he got his fame, he despised his wife and secretly went to the government office to get a marriage certificate for him and his mistress. Haha."

Qin Chi's cheeks turned red from the ridicule.

Although he was not the one who did this, he was his uncle.

When Song Jin stopped talking, Qin Chi personally went to bring her a bowl of ginger tea, "Come! Madam, drink some ginger tea to warm your body. And, madam, you and I are one family, and my uncle and I are not the same kind of people."

It cannot be said that they are not one family.

Then it’s okay to say that we are not on the same path.

Qin Chi waited until Song Jinshun had calmed down before asking, "Madam, did Song Xiu and my uncle have a marriage contract?"

Hearing this, Song Jin was slightly stunned.

Then she shook her head.

Qin Chi asked again: "My father-in-law and grandfather decided on a marriage, so there is no proof?"

"The family was in chaos at the time, and Song Xiu and I were hurriedly sent to Qin...Grandfather's carriage by the servants. The proof is also with Grandfather."

Song Jin thought of something and said with an unpleasant expression: "But even if there is, it is..."

At that time, Song Jin was betrothed to Qin Mingsong, and Song Xiu was betrothed to Qin Chi!

Even if there was a marriage contract, it was between Song Xiu and Qin Chi! Qin Chi felt sick when he thought of this.

Song Jin continued, "The official marriage certificate between you and me was obtained by my grandfather, so the Engagement Certificate between Xiu'er and me should be with him."

After a woman gets married, the Geng Tie copy will be kept by her husband's family.

That's why Song Jin didn't think much about it.

Qin Chi couldn't sit still any longer.

He simply stood up, took out his cloak and put it on neatly, "Madam, I'm going to the old house, do you want to go?"

"Wait a moment, I'll bring a New Year gift over here. This is for Sanlang from the pharmacy."

Song Jin took out a few of the New Year gifts he had brought back.

Then, the two went to the old house together.

It is necessary to introduce the marriage certificate here.

There are two forms of marriage certificates.

One is the official marriage certificate, and the other is the folk marriage certificate.

The official marriage certificate is obtained by completing the marriage registration procedures at the government office.

A civil marriage contract is not signed at the government office, but is a marriage contract signed privately by the man and woman through a matchmaker.

Folk marriage certificates have always been the mainstream.

Of course, there is another type of people who get married only with the help of a matchmaker and do not even have a marriage certificate. These people are usually illiterate and poor people, but the village chief will keep a population register.

In either case, a matchmaker is required to ensure the legality of the marriage.

Therefore, matchmakers are crucial.

Unmediated adultery will not be accepted by the general public.

Right now the old house is preparing for the Chinese New Year, and this year the New Year pig will be slaughtered earlier.

When Qin Chi and Song Jin came over, Xiao Liu and Lin were making rice cakes.

After greeting everyone one by one.

Song Jin handed the New Year gift to Sanlang, "You have a share of the New Year gift from the pharmacy."

"real?!"

Sanlang was very surprised. He took it and raised it high, "Mom and Dad, your son has made great progress!"

"Hahaha."

There was a sudden burst of laughter.

Everyone started teasing Sanlang.

Qin Chi pulled Erlang over and asked quietly, "Is your uncle at home?"

"He went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Erlang glanced around and whispered, "Before my uncle left, he went to see my grandfather. I vaguely heard my grandfather scolding my uncle, and my grandfather's face has not been good today."

"I'm going to talk to Grandpa."

Qin Chi walked towards the main house.

Song Jin saw it and followed.

When he saw two people coming to find him, Old Man Qin's heart suddenly jumped. Especially Song Jin's half-smiley eyes, he had a stronger bad premonition.

"What are you two doing here?"

Old Mrs. Liu spoke first.

Old Mrs. Liu never had a good face when she saw the two of them.

Qin Chi smiled and said with a good temper: "Grandma, does Sanlang work in the pharmacy? My wife went to the pharmacy to get the New Year gift today, and took Sanlang's as well, so she just happened to send it over..."

Before she finished speaking, Old Liu walked out quickly, "This is courting death. If you have something, why don't you bring it to the main house? If you put it outside, it will be gone."

Old Liu left.

Now there were only three people left in the room.

Old man Qin was sitting in front of a charcoal stove.

Without him saying anything, Qin Chi and Song Jin also sat down.

"Grandfather, you know what my uncle is going to do, right?" Qin Chi went straight to the point.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Old Man Qin wanted to deny it, but he was too embarrassed to do so, so he just remained silent and didn't answer.

Qin Chi didn't force him to answer, "Grandfather, I came here to ask, when you and my father-in-law were engaged, was there a marriage contract?"

Old Man Qin looked at Qin Chi with a puzzled look, "Why are you asking this? It's useless even if you have it."

"Of course I ruined it."

As soon as Qin Chi said this, Old Man Qin understood.

Old Man Qin then looked at Song Jin. Seeing that she didn't say much, she got up and went into the inner room. After a burst of small noises, Old Man Qin came out.

There was a small cloth bag in his hand.

Old Man Qin opened the cloth.

There were obviously engagement letters made of Song brocade and Song embroidery, as well as two marriage contracts with gold edges, which were also a form of folk marriage certificates.

Qin Chi opened the two marriage certificates.

One is for Song Xiu and Qin Chi, and the other is for Qin Mingsong and Song Jin.

Song Jin also saw it.

She had never seen this thing in her previous life! The most important thing was that the marriage certificate actually had the matchmaker's signature, only the official seal was missing.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

Song Jin caught a glimpse of a man at the door, and when he looked closely, it was Qin Mingsong who had returned.

When Qin Mingsong saw the two of them, he showed a look of surprise on his face.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Chi throwing the two marriage certificates in his hand into the charcoal stove.

"Da Lang, what are you doing?"

Qin Mingsong walked over quickly, as if he was going to reach for the charcoal stove.

Qin Chi stood up to block him and asked coldly, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"I am……"

Qin Mingsong looked at the burning marriage contract in confusion. His and Song Jin's names were written on it, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if something that belonged to him was suddenly lost! "Jin'er and I have been married for two years and have a child. There is no need to keep this thing." Qin Chi picked up the fire tongs beside him, fiddled with the charcoal, and lowered his head to blow on the charcoal.

Make the marriage certificate burn faster.

Song Jin followed with a smile and said, "It should have been destroyed long ago, it's just that my grandfather still kept it."

Then she looked at Old Man Qin with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Old Man Qin was a little embarrassed. "After all, it's your father's handwriting. I'm just leaving it as a souvenir."

The marriage certificate was written by Song's father.

Qin Chi was glad that he reacted quickly enough. If he kept the marriage certificate, it might be a problem in the future. Then he picked up Song Jin's engagement letter and put it directly into his sleeve pocket.

"Grandfather, let me keep Jin'er's engagement letter." Qin Chi thought that as long as he had Song Jin's engagement letter, this man would have no way to escape.

Old Man Qin wanted to stop him, but after thinking it over, he decided to give up and said, "Take it if you want it."

Just as Old Man Qin was about to put away Song Xiu's anniversary card.

Song Jin took it first again, "I'll keep Xiu'er's."

"That's against the rules."

Before Old Man Qin could say anything, Qin Mingsong actually spoke up to stop him.

Song Jin took the engagement letter into his arms and said, "You want to talk to me about rules? The most unruly person here is none other than you, Qin Mingsong."

After saying that, Song Jin raised his head and looked at Qin Mingsong coldly, "Do you want me to publicize your good deeds today and make your reputation more famous?"

Suddenly, Qin Mingsong's pupils contracted.
