Inside the Qin family, Qin Tianhua ate the food prepared by his daughter Qin Hongyi, saying, "Hongyi, your second brother is getting married. This is the most important thing in our family. We must help your second brother arrange his wedding."
"Dad, people outside say that the captain's third son married a daughter of an official. You say my second brother is more capable than him, right? Why didn't my second brother marry a daughter of an official? How can their family be so lucky?"
Five-year-old Qin Youcheng complained loudly, "Grandpa, Xie Zhaolong pushed my sister away when he was cutting grass for the pigs a few days ago, saying that his third uncle had found them a third aunt whose family was an official, and she was so arrogant."
Qin Hongyi stood up immediately after hearing this and said angrily, "Dad, I'll go find them. Even if his family is the captain's family, they can't bully people like this."
"Stop, come back, sit down."
Qin Tianhua called the three-year-old Qin Youxue over and asked, "What else did Xie Zhaolong from the Xie family say?"
"He also said that when he grows up, his third uncle will send him to the military camp."
"Listen to his bullshit, is it that easy to get into the military camp?"
Qin Tianhua frowned, "Hongyi, why are you cursing again?"
"Dad, scolding them is the least of my worries. I haven't even started yet."
"Hongyi, Dad is old and in poor health, so you have to support our family at such a young age. If Dad wasn't from another village, maybe you could teach in a school like Xie Hehua from the Xie family. I'm sorry for the hardship you've endured over the years."
"Dad, what are you talking about? It's only natural for children to take care of their parents. Besides, I haven't suffered any injustice with my second brother around all these years."
"Hongyi, Dad just wants to tell you that we are from outside the village, so we can only endure it. If it weren't for your second brother joining the army and becoming an officer, you would resist. Otherwise, those people in the brigade alone would have eaten us up."
Qin Hongyi's eyes were red. "Dad, I understand. I'll endure it. Youxue Youcheng, from now on, you can go find another place to cut grass for the pigs."
"I understand, Auntie."
"Hongyi, when your second brother gets married, you should find a matchmaker and get married. If you stay at home any longer, you'll become an old maid."
"Dad, I won't get married. My second brother isn't around anymore, and if I get married, there won't be anyone around to take care of you. Besides, Youcheng and Youxue are still so young, I'm worried. I'm afraid my eldest and second brothers will blame me."
"Okay, then I won't marry. Didn't your second brother write to you a few days ago saying he got a promotion? Then let him introduce you to someone else."
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry. Second brother's matter is more important."
There is a saying that the more you don’t want to see someone, the more likely God will let you meet him or her. The more you want to see someone, the further away he or she will be.
Qin Hongyi was on her way home from work when she ran into Xie Hehua. Remembering what Qin Tianhua had said, Qin Hongyi didn't go up to her to pick a fight, but walked past Xie Hehua.
But how could Xie Hehua let her go? Speaking of the entire brigade, the person Xie Hehua disliked the most was Qin Hongyi. As for why?
First, Qin Hongyi's father was a scholar, and he gave her a nice name, unlike Xie Dazhu, who used flowery names. Second, Qin Tianhua treated his children equally, unlike Xie Dazhu, who favored boys over girls. Third, when they were in school, Qin Hongyi had better grades than Xie Hehua, and her teachers and classmates constantly compared her to Xie Hehua. Finally, and most importantly, Qin Hongyi was prettier than Xie Hehua, and the suitors who came to her were also better looking. If it weren't for that incident, Qin Hongyi would have been married long ago.
"Hey, isn't this Hongyi? We live in the same village, why don't you even say hello when you see me?"
"Hongyi, I'm sure you've heard that my third brother is getting married, and he's marrying a woman who's the son of an official. Your second brother is marrying someone from the city, what a pity!"
"What a pity! At least my second brother found a city girl, unlike some city people who look down on her."
"Qin Hongyi, if you have the guts, tell me again."
"Just say it. I said city people look down on you. Even if you want to find a city person, it's useless. Not only are you good-looking, but you're also ugly and disgusting."
"What's so great about your Qin family? Aren't you just an outsider? If our Xie family's ancestors hadn't taken you in, your grandfather would have died long ago. How could you still be shouting in front of me?
You may not know this, but your second brother got into trouble in the army a while ago, and the army has sent people to the brigade to inquire about him. Your second brother will soon be sent back home to farm. I wonder what you will be so proud of when that happens?
"You..., I'm going to fight you. If you dare to curse my second brother, I'll beat you to death." As she said that, Qin Hongyi started to make moves on Xie Hehua.
"You dare to hit me? Let me tell you, you are on the Xie family's territory. How dare you, an outsider, hit me? Believe it or not, I will kick your whole family out."
"You dare? If you dare to attack my family, I will sue you. The captain's daughter abuses her power for personal gain. She relies on her father being a captain to bully the people. I don't believe that no one will stop you."
"Xie Hehua, the Qin family is not interested in what kind of partner your third brother has found. Also, if you say anything bad about my second brother again in the future, I will tear your mouth apart.
Who told you that my second brother got into trouble in the army and would be sent back? I tell you the truth, my second brother just got promoted and is now the chief of staff of the division. You, the Xie family, are jealous of my second brother, so you are always trying to ruin his reputation in the village.
It was time to go home and cook after work. Although Qin Hongyi and Xie Hehua were arguing on a small path, someone still heard them. Word spread quickly, and within ten minutes, Qin Hongyi and Xie Hehua were surrounded by people.
