Chapter 8 I didn't spend a penny marrying you

Li didn't want to get involved in her brother-in-law's marriage, so she said, "I still have a design to draw, so I'll go back to my room first. Dalang is not feeling well, so he should go back and rest as well."

Boss Qin stood up immediately.

Even the porridge they hadn't finished was taken back to the room.

The two of them walked away, like a signal.

One by one, they picked up the bowl in front of them and ran away with a lame excuse.

Song Jin and Qin Chi followed the crowd out.

In the yard in front of the gate, Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San were chatting in low voices.

In his previous life, Song Jin knew the four brothers of the Qin family. The first three had a very good relationship, but Qin Mingsong was an outlier. He had been favored by his parents since he was young and had an average relationship with his brothers.

The three brothers were willing to support Qin Mingsong's studies in the hope that he could pass the imperial examination and be exempted from corvée labor for the family.

Before Qin Mingsong passed the imperial examination, the three of them took turns to serve in the army every year. Every time they returned home from military service, they were as thin as refugees fleeing famine, and it took some time for them to recover.

In comparison, Qin Mingsong lived too well.

No matter how selfless the three brothers are, it is inevitable that they will feel estranged from each other after a long time.

Looking back on their past lives, the three brothers didn't seem to benefit much from Qin Mingsong. When he passed the imperial examination, old man Qin suddenly proposed to split up the family. The two old people lived with Qin Mingsong, but they wanted to stay in the countryside. Then Song Jin, as the daughter-in-law, was legitimately left to serve her parents-in-law.

In the end she died, but the two old ones survived.

Song Jin asked softly, "Do you think Qin Mingsong will insist on not marrying Song Xiu?"

Qin Chi glanced sideways: "He will marry her."

"Why?"

"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words." Qin Chi gave a simple and clear reason, "Disobeying parents is considered unfilial. If you want to take the imperial examination and become a scholar, my uncle doesn't dare."

Song Jin understood.

Qin Mingsong has studied hard for ten years and has to choose between future and love. No one needs to guess what he will choose.

In his previous life, didn't he also agree to marry her? "What are you thinking about?"

Qin Chi looked at him with unclear eyes.

Song Jin looked up at the sky. What was he thinking about? Of course, he was thinking about some things in his past life, but could he tell them? "I was thinking, isn't Qin Mingsong the hope for the Qin family to change its status? Grandfather might really change his mind."

Qin Chi had an unpredictable look on his face, and said, as if hinting at something: "Which scholar doesn't hope to change his family background? But how many of them can really do it? Grandfather has seen the world and is more pragmatic."

These words made it clear that Old Man Qin had expectations for Qin Mingsong, but he was also rational.

Song Jin's eyes sparkled when he heard this.

Nothing more to say.

Old man Qin clearly hoped that Qin Mingsong would change his family, but he agreed to the marriage proposal from the Song family.

From the moment Old Man Qin agreed to the marriage, he had to take certain risks. If he was not careful, he would be accused of harboring a criminal.

Song Jin has a marriage certificate, which eliminates the hidden danger.

Song Xiu didn't! Yesterday, Song Jin asked Old Man Qin to get the marriage certificate, and he asked for Song Xiu's as well, but Old Man Qin agreed to hers and not Song Xiu's.

The reason is that Qin Mingsong has made great achievements.

At the same time, Qin Mingsong is also a celebrity in this area.

Old Man Qin said it was difficult to operate.

It is said that the risk of exposure is very high.

It is unknown whether this statement is true or not, so Song Jin believes it for the time being.

In her previous life, Song Jin had never thought about these things. After all, she was young, and if she didn't ask about some things, Old Man Qin wouldn't tell her.

Thinking back now, it is actually very difficult to sort out the grudges and who was right and who was wrong in the previous life.

Song Jin doesn't want to worry about this anymore in this life.

Because things became different from the moment of the marriage exchange.

When Qin Chi dies, she will become a widow, and a widow can set up a female household. After that, she will observe mourning for a period of time and then leave the Qin family. She will not care about the right and wrong of the Qin family.

If Song Xiu really canceled this engagement, married someone else and then got a marriage certificate, it might be a good thing.

Then, Song Jin asked Qin Chi to go back to his room first, and she went to find Song Xiu. When they met, she went straight to the point and asked Song Xiu whether she wanted to cancel the engagement, and she would choose another marriage for her.

Song Jin bluntly said that Qin Mingsong was not a good match and might already have someone he liked.

In response, Song Xiu was not only not grateful, but was furious. She said angrily, "Song Jin, you just can't stand seeing me doing well, right? Who told you to take the initiative to cancel the engagement for me? Did you agree with me? I don't agree!"

She will marry Qin Mingsong in this life! Qin Mingsong will become a high-ranking official in the future.

Song Xiu is still waiting to become an official's wife! In her previous life, Song Xiu had never seen a better man than Qin Mingsong, so how could he not be a good match? In Song Jin's previous life, he was childless for seven years, but Qin Mingsong did not divorce his wife or take a concubine. He was a man of love and righteousness praised by everyone.

Therefore, Song Xiu did not believe a word of Song Jin's good advice.

Song Jin didn't know what Song Xiu was thinking.

If she knew, it could only be said that Qin Mingsong concealed it too well in his previous life. It was so good that even she found out about it by accident, let alone outsiders?

Song Xiu was suspicious again, "You spread rumors about Qin Mingsong, could it be that you have a crush on him? Song Jin, don't forget, you are already married, so be a good wife."

Song Jin felt a surge of anger when he heard this, and wanted to help Song Xiu in time, at least to live up to his father's trust.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But reality told her.

There is nothing wrong with being kind, but it depends on who you are doing it to.

Some people don't deserve it.

Song Jin glanced at Song Xiu as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Song Xiu, this is the path you chose yourself. I hope you won't regret it."

Song Jin said and turned to leave.

Seeing Song Jin's indifferent eyes, Song Xiu felt a little flustered for some reason.

Soon, Song Xiu was overwhelmed by the joy of marrying Qin Mingsong, and she didn't realize that her actions today had consumed the last bit of affection Song Jin had for her.

Song Xiu didn't think Qin Mingsong's proposal to cancel the engagement would work, because Qin Mingsong had married Song Jin in his previous life. In order to achieve her goal, she even bribed Old Liu with money.

Facts have proved that Song Xiu's methods are effective.

Qin Mingsong's refusal to marry was just a minor episode. Old Qin did not agree, and old Mrs. Liu quickly prepared the wedding banquet.

After discussion, we finally decided on only two tables.

Children and women are not allowed to sit at the table, so two tables are enough.

Old Liu asked Qin Lao San to inform the two daughters, and Qin Lao Tou to invite the village chief and the elders of the clan. In fact, without a marriage certificate, it cannot be said that the marriage is completely invalid.

As long as the clan agrees and the village chief has the support, the marriage can be concluded as per custom.

Most people in the village are like this, can you say their marriage is invalid? There are hidden dangers.

It all depends on what the government says, it can be big or small. When the truth comes out, it all depends on who has the most powerful backers.

Qin Chi made the excuse of feeling unwell, so Song Jin stayed in the house to take care of him and did not go outside to help.

"Would you be envious?"

Qin Chi, who was flipping through a book, suddenly asked.

Song Jin was stunned, "What are you envious of?"

"They have a wedding banquet, but you have nothing. Just like my second aunt said, I didn't spend a penny to marry you."

Qin Chi kept these words in mind.

Song Jin smiled and said, "Will you look down on me for this?"

"Won't."

"That's all."
