Chapter 44 Jiang Tang's family won't go unless invited

Qin Xiao spent five days to finish the bathroom in the yard and the studio where Jiang Tang would make things.

In the evening, Jiang Tang used the newly built bathroom.

After she finished her shower, she came out wiping her half-dry hair and looked at the two brothers in the yard. Jiang Tang sat on a chair with her legs dangling. She blinked and stared at Qin Xiao, saying softly, "It would be nice if there was a water heater and a shower head."

The man looked at her expressionlessly.

In a low voice, "I will go to the city to look at the land tomorrow. Lei Zi and He Tian's batch of goods have been sold out. We plan to continue to purchase goods while looking at the land next door."

Jiang Tang nodded, "What I said before still counts."

She pointed at the newly built workshop and said, "You can see my production volume here, it's pretty good."

The girl smiled and said, "If you need me, I'll invest in you and you'll work for me."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly with a smile in his dark eyes.

Okay, I'll work for you.

Jiang Tang blinked and said loudly, "I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow."

She was quite curious about what Qin Xiao and the others were planning to do step by step.

Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, stared at the little girl's curious eyes, and responded in a low voice.

Jiang Tang frowned, lowered his head and touched Qin Chuyang's head, "Chuyang, my brother and I have something to do tomorrow, why don't you stay at home with Sister Wenjuan and the others?"

Qin Chuyang nodded obediently.

The next morning, the couple went out together.

They went directly to the city. Sitting on the tricycle, Jiang Tang looked at the man next to him and whispered, "Qin Xiao, if we want to choose land, wouldn't it be cheaper in the countryside? Maybe there's more land. Why don't we choose one nearby?"

Qin Xiao turned his head and stared at the little girl in front of him. "Considering the convenience of transportation and labor, the village is less convenient than the county town. Moreover, contracting the land in the village will inevitably involve the interests of many parties in the village. Please, in the county town, we should handle things impartially and not talk about personal relationships. We can be more clear."

He stared at Jiang Tang and said slowly, "Don't you want to leave Wuli Village?"

The man said calmly, "We'll leave once our factory is up and running."

So that's how it is. Jiang Tang nodded. She wanted to leave here and stay away from the Jiang family, which was like a time bomb. She didn't expect Qin Xiao had been keeping it in mind.

The couple arrived at the county town together, and Qin Xiao took Jiang Tang straight to the county government.

The county government in the 1980s had a red and white porcelain gate. When the gate was open, you could see the green trees inside.

Qin Xiao brought Jiang Tang in.

When the government staff heard the couple's intention, they asked loudly, "Are you going to contract the land and run it yourself?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Well, the current policy should allow it."

The staff member raised his eyebrows, looked at the young couple with some admiration, and nodded, "Contracting is now allowed, but the contractor has to pay the contract fee himself."

Qin Xiao nodded, "We know."

The staff member said, "If you and your spouse want to contract to cultivate some land, you can go to the village collective economic organization or the villagers' committee to handle the land contract and pay the contract fee according to the regulations."

"If you are contracting non-cultivated land, you can go to the local county or township government to handle the contract and contract the land according to the law."

He looked at the two of them and asked, "You two have come to the government now, which means you want to contract non-cultivated land?"

Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao, then said slowly to the staff, "Our first choice is definitely to contract non-cultivated land, try to avoid using other people's resources, and not destroy the things that everyone relies on for survival."

"We contracted non-cultivated land to avoid conflicts."

The staff heard what Jiang Tang said and nodded, "It's great that you have this intention."

"In the past two years, there have been people who wanted to contract and cultivate various types of land, and there have been a lot of problems. Either the villagers and the village collective disagreed, or the interests of the village collective could not be protected."

"If you can think of developing non-cultivated land directly instead of cultivated land, the government will definitely support it."

"We have no reason to disagree with the idea of ​​using resources rationally, protecting our local natural environment, and improving the level of local economic development."

From what he said, it seems that he agrees to let them contract non-cultivated land?

Jiang Tang blinked and turned to look at Qin Xiao with a smile on his face.

There was also a smile in the man's eyes.

The staff stared at the couple and said, "How about this? I'll go with you first to see the non-cultivated land you intend to plan."

Qin Xiao stood up and shook hands with the staff.

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, comrade."

The staff laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, you are doing this for economic development."

"Don't call me comrade, just call me Lin Jiancheng."

After saying this, he took the car keys and took Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang out of the government gate.

Lin Jiancheng took Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang straight to the non-cultivated land in the suburbs of the county.

By chance, I also learned that the two of them were planning to set up a factory. Now all parts of the country are working hard to do this. If someone from Wuli County can be the first to try it out, their government will definitely support it.

I took the couple to look at the land.

Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang just returned to the city.

The two of them went to Lei Zi's stall first.

Lei Zi was the only one busy at the stall; Hetian had gone to Pengcheng to purchase goods.

Wang Qilei looked at Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang coming over, and immediately waved to them with a smile.

"Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang walked into the stall and found a small stool to sit on.

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Let's go to the government and see if we can contract non-cultivated land. The next step is to build your factory first."

Wang Qilei packed the guest's clothes. When he heard Jiang Tang say this, he immediately turned around and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, is everything going well? Does the government agree?"

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Xiao with a smile.

Qin Xiao said calmly, "Yeah."

Wang Qilei's eyes were filled with surprise. "That means our factory can really be opened!"

Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "Today I just went to see the non-cultivated land planned by the government, and I haven't completed the contracting procedures yet."

He stared at Wang Qilei and said, "If everything goes well, the factory should be built smoothly."

Wang Qilei smiled happily, "Brother Xiao, I will listen to you anyway. It's all right."

He never thought that he would be able to run a factory one day.

Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang saw that Lei Zi's business was doing well, so Qin Xiao stayed to help, while Jiang Tang went home first.

After returning home, Qin Chuyang ran out with his short legs and followed her happily.

Then he looked behind Jiang Tang and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't my brother come back?"

Jiang Tang touched his head and said, "Brother wants to make money with Brother Lei Zi, so sister-in-law will come back first. Is Chu Yang hungry?"

She and Qin Xiao left too early this morning and left some food for the little guy, but she didn't know if the kid ate it or not.

Jiang Tang touched the kid's belly, which was swollen.

Qin Chuyang looked at his sister-in-law's hand touching her belly and nodded obediently, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Tang led the little guy into the kitchen, "Didn't we Chuyang have breakfast?"

She opened the pot on the tripod and found the porridge was still there.

The kid didn't have breakfast.

Qin Chuyang blinked, his eyes were a little evasive, and he muttered, "Sister-in-law, I...I ate the cake."

I had a cupcake this morning, so I didn't have any meal?

Jiang Tang was both angry and amused, and pinched Zaizai's face.

"Then we have to finish the remaining porridge at noon."

Qin Chuyang nodded obediently.

In the evening, before it got dark, Qin Xiao came back.

Jiang Tang was cooking. When the man saw her, he washed his hands under the girl's gaze and then started to help.

Qin Xiao helped Jiang Tang and whispered, "I have already checked the land today. I will go to the government again tomorrow to see if it can be resolved as soon as possible and sign the contract as soon as possible."

Jiang Tang nodded.

He stared at Qin Xiao and asked, "We are going to build the factory after signing the contract?"

"Do you have any knowledge about factory construction?"

Qin Xiao kept moving his hands and whispered, "Well, when I went to Pengcheng before, I got a general idea of ​​the equipment and industrial belts in the clothing factory. I also found a few merchants when I was in the capital before. There is no problem."

Jiang Tang nodded and stared at Qin Xiao. "Let Lei Zi go with you tomorrow. I have to hand over the latest batch of goods tomorrow and can't leave."

Qin Xia nodded.

Early the next morning, Qin Xiao left home alone.

At noon, Jiang Tang finished handing over the goods and then returned home.

On the other side, in the government office, Qin Xiao stared at the pot-bellied man in front of him with a gloomy expression, his face was so dark that water could drip out.

Duan Zhongzhong looked at Qin Xiao's expression with his peripheral vision, and the smile on his face grew wider. He followed Lin Jiancheng in talking with ease.

Lin Jiancheng was unaware of the conflict between the two. He just looked at Duan Zhongzhong and said, "Are you also interested in contracting non-cultivated land?"

Duan Zhongzhong nodded, "Yes, I have made a little money in the past few years, and I also want to contribute to our Wuli County."

Lin Jiancheng, "Which place did you take a fancy to?"

Duan Zhongzhong stared at Qin Xiao who was silent beside him and smiled proudly, "It's in the suburbs next to the county town."

When he said this, Lin Jiancheng frowned, feeling a bit embarrassed, because this was the same land that Qin Xiao had his eyes on.

How could it be such a coincidence.

Duan Zhongzhong stared at Qin Xiao with malicious intent.

This is certainly unfortunate.

He came here just for Qin Xiao.

Previously, his private coal kiln collapsed and was closed for rectification, and now it has not been opened.

Not only did the Qin Xiao couple not give him any face, they also embarrassed him. He lost so much money, how could he let the couple go?

These past two days, he knew that this guy was planning to contract the land, so he had to get involved and prevent Qin Xiao from succeeding.

Anyway, as long as this couple can't have a good life, anything is fine.

He didn't intend to contract any non-cultivated land, he just wanted to drag it out until the price of the non-cultivated land was raised. He would make these two bleed a little and let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Now both parties wanted to take the contract, and Lin Jiancheng was in a difficult position.

Duan Zhongzhong stared at Qin Xiao and smiled more and more smugly. Even if he alone was not enough, the worst that could happen was that he could just hire two more people. The more people there were, the more people would be robbed, and the longer this matter would be delayed.

Besides, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. He didn't believe that when it came to money, he could be outdone by this kid Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's face was gloomy. When he saw Duan Zhongzhong appear here, he knew that things would not go smoothly.

I don't plan to just waste time here.

Left the government first.

When Duan Zhongzhong saw Qin Xiao leaving, he thought he had given up so easily, so he followed him and left.

Qin Xiao returned home.

Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang came over immediately.

Jiang Tang stared at the man's cold and hard outline, frowned slightly, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, how is it going?"

Qin Xiao sat on the chair, raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Tang, his tone calm, "It's not going very smoothly."

Jiang Tang frowned and sat next to him, looking puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Tang, "I was in the government just now and met Duan Zhongzhong."

"Duan Zhongzhong?" Jiang Tang frowned slightly, "What is he going to do?"

Jiang Tang stared at Qin Xiao, "He wouldn't want to take over the business, would he?"

"His purpose is not to take the contract, but he doesn't want us to take the contract." Qin Xiao realized what Duan Zhongzhong was thinking almost the moment he saw him.

Jiang Tang was somewhat speechless. "How could he have the leisure to do such a thankless task?"

She hadn't expected that Duan Zhongzhong was so petty and was now looking to cause trouble for them. It was really hard to guard against.

Qin Xiao took a sip of water, stared at the little girl's wrinkled face, and whispered, "He has gained something by making us suffer the loss."

"What should we do?" Jiang Tang murmured, "Are we just going to let him drag us along?"

She stared at Qin Xiao with her big dark eyes, "The government will definitely not let him do this."

The man said in a low voice, "For the government, we all have the same opportunities. They can't be biased. We know what Duan Zhongzhong meant, but the government doesn't know. They can't let other citizens have any opinions either."

Jiang Tang nodded, that's what he meant, and sighed softly, "Then what should we do?"

She looked at Qin Xiao and said, "We won't contract non-cultivated land. We can just contract cultivated land in the village or in the county."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl, and suddenly raised his hand to ruffle her soft hair. "Different paths lead to the same end. He will use the same method to cause trouble."

The man said in a low voice, "What we need to do is to prove our feasibility and gain support."

Jiang Tang held his chin and nodded, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Let's just submit the plan, that's fair, right?"

She stared at Qin Xiao. "Duan Zhongzhong must have only thought about making things difficult for us. He must not have made any specific plans. His mind is empty."

She placed her hand on the man's big hand on the table, her eyes shining like stars, "You must have a plan. Even if you don't write it down, you can talk about it."

As long as Qin Xiao tells everyone his plan and makes it sound meaningful, while Duan Zhongzhong has nothing, it will be clear who is more competitive between the two.

She stared at Qin Xiao with a frown, "Qin Xiao, what do you think?"

Qin Xiao felt the girl's tender and soft touch on his hand. He lowered his eyes and stared at the soft hand covering his hand, with a deep look in his eyes. He listened to the girl's words and nodded slightly.

"As long as Duan Zhongzhong can't say anything, no one is a fool. As long as we can see that he is making trouble, he will not pose a threat to us."

Jiang Tang stared at Qin Xiao with a smile on his face and nodded his head fiercely, "That's what I mean."

"Besides, even if he can come up with a concrete feasible plan, as long as we are better than him, there will definitely be no problem."

Qin Xiao nodded, "I'll go again tomorrow."

Jiang Tang nodded.

The next day, Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang for a nap, and when he woke up, he saw Qin Xiao coming back.

She immediately went over to him and stared at Qin Xiao, "Qin Xiao, what happened?"

Qin Xiao sat on the chair, his brows slightly relaxed. He stared at Jiang Tang and nodded slightly, "The government has agreed to our contract."

The man's black eyes were smiling as he stared at the girl in front of him and whispered, "Not only do we agree to contract the business, but we will also receive corresponding financial subsidies when we open a factory in the future."

Jiang Tang's eyes widened. She didn't expect such good news. It was truly an unexpected surprise.

"Qin Xiao, what did you say?" How come we suddenly not only get the land contracting rights, but also receive subsidies.

Qin Xiao whispered, "The country is more supportive of individual business cooperation. After we set up the factory this time, if it grows bigger, it will also boost the economy of Wuli County. It is normal for the government to subsidize us."

Jiang Tang blinked, nodded obediently, and stared at Qin Xiao while speaking.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but rub the little girl's head.

Jiang Tang frowned slightly and stared at the man in front of her with dissatisfaction.

Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "Also, when I went to the government today, I met an acquaintance."

Speaking of this, the man's black eyes were full of smiles.

Jiang Tang tilted his head and stared at Qin Xiao, "Who did you meet?"

Qin Xiao whispered, "Former brothers."

"Lu Fang's man."

Jiang Tang blinked, "Sister-in-law Lu Fang's man, isn't he serving in the army?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, I was in the army before, and I just retired recently. I haven't had time to go home yet. I went to the government today and happened to meet him."

"So, the subsidy for us to build the factory this time was his idea?"

Qin Xiao whispered, "Yes and no."

It's just that they happened to take advantage of the east wind.

Anyway, now the work they have contracted is completed.

Jiang Tang stared at Qin Xiao. "Now that everything has been agreed upon, when will we sign the contract?"

"It will be signed in two days."

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Brother Qin Xiao."

There was a knock on the door, accompanied by a female voice.

Hearing the female voice, Jiang Tang frowned slightly. It was Liu Lan.

She glanced at Qin Xiao leisurely and said calmly, "I'm calling you."

Qin Xiao stared at the indifferent little girl with an inexplicable look.

"Qin Chuyang, go open the door."

The little guy opened his eyes wide and trotted to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Liu Lan at the courtyard gate.

When Liu Lan saw that it was Qin Chuyang who opened the door, she felt a little disappointed. She looked into the yard and saw Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang sitting there. She raised her hand and touched the braid hanging in front of her chest.

She looked at Qin Xiao shyly and said loudly, "Brother Qin Xiao, my brother asked me to come over and invite you to his house for dinner."

Qin Xiao had no expression on his face.

Jiang Tang blinked, glanced at the man next to him, then stood up and raised his chin toward the gate of the yard, "Okay, go ahead. I won't keep you dinner tonight."

"Chu Yang and I will eat by ourselves."

Qin Xiao stared at Jiang Tang who had a sullen face.

Liu Lan at the door looked at Qin Chuyang and whispered, "Brother Qin Xiao, my brother told you to bring Chuyang with you."

Jiang Tang: ...

Jiang Tang pursed his lips and wrinkled his nose, "Then I'll eat by myself tonight. My good brothers are calling you, go quickly."

Jiang Tang was about to walk into the house as to avoid seeing anything.

The next moment, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man's rough hand. Jiang Tang frowned slightly, lowered her eyes and stared at Qin Xiao, looking at him with drooping eyelids.

Qin Xiao held the girl's soft fingertips and said to Liu Lan outside the yard in a deep voice, "Go back and tell her that I will invite him to dinner at home tomorrow. I won't go over today."

Liu Lan stared at Qin Xiao holding Jiang Tang's hand, as if he was afraid that the woman would run away if he let go, as if he was holding some fragile rare treasure.

The hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, and he said with some embarrassment, "My brother said that you guys haven't been together for so long, so you have to have a good reunion today."

"I just called Brother Lei and Brother Hetian, they should have gone by now."

Qin Xiao had no expression on his face. "Then let them gather."

This is something that has absolutely no intention of passing.

Liu Lan bit her lip, stared at Qin Xiao's eyes as he looked at the woman motionlessly, and ran away holding her breath.

Jiang Tang pulled his hand away, and only now did he pull it away.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the man. "Your good brothers have finally come back. You should go meet them and talk to them."

"You are angry." The man stared at Jiang Tang intently with his black eyes, and his words were extremely firm.

Jiang Tang felt empty inside, and avoided looking at the man. She curled her lips slightly, "Why should I be angry?"

His face was almost puffy, but he still said he was not angry.

Qin Xiao raised his black eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "He has changed his job now, and we can see him anytime."

Moreover, he was invited to join Qin Chuyang, but the little girl was excluded. He felt that there was no need to eat this meal.

On the other side, Liu Lan was so angry that she ran back home.

Lu Fang was busy in the kitchen, and Wen Juaner and Zhang Guimei were helping her.

As soon as Liu Lan came back and walked into the yard, Liu Guohui looked behind her.

I felt a little strange not seeing Qin Xiao following Qin Chuyang.

Liu Lan looked at Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian who had already arrived, bit her lip, and walked over.

Liu Guohui frowned, "Why didn't your brother Qin Xiao and the others come?"

Liu Lan went to call Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian first. Now that they have arrived, Liu Lan should have come with Qin Xiao and the others, but why is she coming back alone now?

Liu Lan buried her head and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin Xiao said he won't come over. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Liu Guohui frowned, "What's wrong with Qin Xiao? He finally came back, and we had a get-together, but he didn't come yet."

Liu Lan said nothing.

Wang Qilei frowned and said, "I guess your sister-in-law is not familiar with you yet, so she is embarrassed to come over."

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother Xiao will treat you tomorrow. Let's go to Brother Xiao's house for dinner."

He looked at Liu Guohui cheerfully and said, "Sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious."

Hearing this, Liu Guohui glanced at Liu Lan, then moved his gaze to Wang Qilei, with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?"

Hearing his question, Wang Qilei shook his head and said, "What kind of sister-in-law can she be? She must be our brother Xiao's wife."

"What! Brother Xiao is getting married!"

Liu Guohui stood up and slammed the table in shock, shouting at a deafening volume.

Several people in the room heard it and looked outside to stare at him.

Wang Qilei nodded, "That's right."

Liu Guohui sat down again, touched his short hair, and looked at his sister standing in the yard, "Lan'er, your brother Qin Xiao got married, why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Lan said in a low voice, feeling somewhat guilty, "You didn't ask me."

Liu Guohui stared at his sister. "I didn't ask? Didn't I ask you whether Qin Xiao married that Jiang Cui? Didn't you say no?"

Liu Lan stared at the ground, "Brother Qin Xiao is definitely not married to Jiang Cui."

Liu Guohui felt helpless seeing her unable to do anything for a long time.

He could only look at the two brothers beside him and said, "Tell me quickly, who did Xiaoge marry?"

Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian exchanged a glance, and Zhang Hetian said, "Xiaoge's marriage partner is indeed not Jiang Cui, but Jiang Cui's sister Jiang Tang."

"My sister-in-law was brought back by the Jiang family more than half a year ago, and then she was married to Brother Xiao by the Jiang family."

He glanced at Liu Lan with a cold expression, "Xiao Ge did not marry Jiang Cui. Liu Lan knew this, but she also knew that Xiao Ge married my sister-in-law."

Zhang Hetian stood up and shouted to Wen Juan in the kitchen, "Juan'er, we can't have dinner today. Let's go home."

The three people in the room heard his voice clearly. They stopped what they were doing and walked into the yard.

Wen Juan walked up to Zhang Hetian and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Hetian stared at Liu Lan with a calm expression, "Brother Xiao and his family didn't come. Originally, it was just a gathering of brothers to have a meal and reminisce about the past. Now that Brother Xiao and his family are not here, there is no need to have this meal."

He took Wen Juan's hand and turned to look at Liu Guohui, "Guohui, let's wait until tomorrow to get together at Xiao Ge's house. We'll leave first today."

Although Wang Qilei didn't quite understand why Brother Hetian was leaving, he also said, "Brother Hetian does have a point. Since Brother Xiao didn't come, we're not all here, and there's nothing to gather for. Brother Guohui, let's gather tomorrow."

After saying that, he was about to take his mother away.

Liu Guohui frowned, "It was my mistake."

"I just came back and I don't know the situation clearly. I'll ask my sister-in-law to come over."

He had just returned and had made his brothers unhappy, and he himself was not feeling well either.

Zhang Hetian shook his head. "No need. There are people here who don't welcome my sister-in-law. We can just gather at Brother Xiao's house tomorrow. You have changed jobs anyway, so you don't need to waste one day."

His words made Liu Guohui slap the table vigorously, "Hetian, what do you mean by this? How could I not welcome my sister-in-law? I just came back, so I didn't know that Xiaoge got married and even changed his marriage partner."

"Don't leave yet. I'll go over and apologize to Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law. Come over in person."

As he was about to leave, he was stopped by Lu Fang.

Lu Fang said coldly, "Okay, you brothers should go to Brother Xiao's house tomorrow to have a gathering. I guess Jiang Tang's family will think it's unlucky if she comes, so don't make things difficult for her."

Liu Guohui touched his head and stared at his wife, his face full of question marks.

Didn't he just forget to call his sister-in-law? Why are everyone making him sound like a sinner?

Seeing Zhang Hetian and the others about to leave, Liu Guohui stopped them and said, "No, Hetian, I really don't mean to not welcome my sister-in-law. I just came back today, you know that."

"If I knew my sister-in-law was back, I would have asked Lan'er to only call Brother Xiao and Chuyang..."

At this point, he realized something was wrong, and turned to stare at his sister, whose head was almost buried in the ground, with a puzzled look on his face, "No, Lan'er, your brother doesn't know about sister-in-law, but you know about her. Didn't you invite her over?"

Liu Lan suddenly raised her head and yelled at everyone, "You only told me to call Brother Qin Xiao and Chu Yang, but not Jiang Tang. What did I do wrong?"

After yelling, he ran into the house and slammed the door.

Liu Guohui then realized that it was his sister who didn't call him sister-in-law.

Wang Qilei also reacted, staring and shouting, "Okay, I fucking said that your brother just came back, Xiao brother will not not come, your mother didn't ask our sister-in-law to come over."

"Liu Guohui, you are really great. You didn't call her sister-in-law, but you called everyone else except her. Bah! You can't be a brother anymore."

He stared at Zhang Hetian and the others beside him, "Brother Hetian, let's go."

A group of people were about to leave in a mighty manner.

Liu Guohui walked to the gate and stopped them. "It's my fault. I apologize. I will ask my sister-in-law to come over right away and apologize to her! My brothers have helped my family so much in my absence over the years. Can you give me another chance?"

Zhang Hetian sat back in his chair and stared at the closed door. "Take Liu Lan over there. We'll wait here. If you can invite your sister-in-law over, then we can have dinner with her. If she can't come, then we won't have dinner."

After hearing what Zhang Hetian said, Wang Qilei nodded and immediately walked to his side.

Wenjuan stared at the closed door. She originally thought that she was just a little girl, but she didn't expect her to be so petty. How could she take the lead in squeezing out her sister-in-law?

Brother Xiao’s help to the Liu family over the years has been in vain.

Liu Guohui went forward and knocked on the door. He now came to his senses. It seemed that his sister didn't like Qin Xiao's wife. Otherwise, even if he didn't say it and he just didn't know, Liu Lan wouldn't have failed to call someone over.

Now that things have turned out like this, Hetian and Lei Zi look like they want to break off all ties with him. If Lan'er did it on purpose, she must apologize to her sister-in-law.

Liu Guohui walked to the closed door and knocked hard.

"Lan'er, come with me and apologize to my sister-in-law."

It was very quiet inside, with no movement.

Lu Fang walked over and banged on the door so hard that she almost wanted to hold a megaphone and shout, "Liu Lan! If you plan to be an ungrateful person, then I will make your brother stop associating with Qin Xiao and the others, and you will just be a shrinking turtle in here!"

"Your brother was away for a few years. His three brothers helped our family so much that we were not bullied to death by other people in the village."

"Now that your brother is back, you're going to destroy his brothers, right? You ungrateful bastard."

"I didn't!" Liu Lan's voice came from the room. After a while, she opened the door and walked out.

His face was covered with tear marks, his eyes were red, and his face was full of tears. He shouted loudly, "I'll go apologize to Jiang Tang, okay?"

When she opened the door, Liu Guohui walked straight in, holding her hand and walked out, almost half-dragging her towards Qin Xiao's house.

As soon as the man left, the yard became quiet.

Wang Qilei was usually carefree, but now his face turned cold. "Sister-in-law, I don't know why Lan'er hates you, but I'll be frank. If you don't come, we brothers won't get along well in the future."

Even if he was slow to notice, he could see that what Liu Lan did was extremely unkind.

Wang Qilei said bitterly, "If I had known I hadn't invited my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have come here in the first place."

After he finished speaking, Wen Juan responded in a low voice, with a bit of gloom, "That's right, if we had known earlier we would have gone around and went to Brother Xiao's house first. If Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law didn't come, we wouldn't have to come."

These words made Lu Fang's face turn red, and she felt extremely guilty.

On the other side, Liu Guohui dragged Liu Lan to Qin Xiao's house.

Knock on the door at the yard gate.

Inside the house, Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang were in the bedroom and heard someone knocking on the door.

Qin Xiao's eyes darkened slightly. He probably knew who it was. He had no intention of opening the door, but just continued to help Jiang Tang calmly.

Jiang Tang looked at him strangely, "Who's at the door? Go open it."

"Don't worry about him for now." Qin Xiao's face was cold and hard, and he stopped Qin Chuyang from opening the door.

Jiang Tang tilted her head and frowned slightly at the man's bad complexion.

The person at the door knocked for a long time but no one answered. Liu Guohui now knew that Qin Xiao was really angry, so he shouted towards the yard.

"Brother Xiao! Sister-in-law, I came here to apologize to you!"

He patted Liu Lan on the shoulder and whispered, "Speak!"

Liu Lan's face was a little swollen. She had been dressed up before, but now she looked extremely shabby. She said aggrievedly, "Brother Qin Xiao, I came here to apologize to my brother."

Liu Lan felt so suffocated that she didn't understand why everyone liked Jiang Tang. Even Brother Lei and Brother Hetian, whom she had known for so many years, gave up their relationship with her brother for Jiang Tang.

It’s just a meal, what’s the big deal?

Hearing the noise outside, Jiang Tang stared at Qin Xiao and raised her eyebrows. It turned out to be the Liu siblings. Thinking of this, she just focused on cooking and had no intention of opening the door.

After hearing the shouting outside for a long time, which made Jiang Tang's ears hurt, Jiang Tang pushed Qin Xiao's arm and said, "Just go and open the door."

Qin Xiao stared at the girl with his dark eyes and whispered, "Are you still angry?"

Jiang Tang smiled and shook his head slightly, "I'm not angry anymore."

After making sure that there was no forced expression on the girl's face, Qin Xiao untied her apron and took Qin Chuyang to open the door.

Let Liu Guohui and his sister come in.

As soon as Liu Guohui entered the room, he said, "Brother Xiao, I am really sorry for you. Is sister-in-law in the house? We came here to apologize to sister-in-law and invite you to dinner."

Jiang Tang put down her apron and came out.

Liu Guohui saw it at a glance. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law didn't look like the Jiang family at all, but she was much prettier than the Jiang family members.

Jiang Tang walked to Qin Xiao's side.

Liu Guohui came back to his senses, "Sister-in-law, this is all my fault. I just came back, so I didn't know that Xiao Ge was married, and I didn't mention you. I'm really sorry. The meal is ready at home. Please go with Xiao Ge, sister-in-law. I'll make amends."

Speaking of this, he pushed Liu Lan beside him. This girl, he had just returned and the whole family was happy, but just because of this one thing, everyone was unhappy. His sister has no vision at all, it seems like she has never grown up and does things according to her temper.

Liu Lan said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu Guohui frowned and turned to stare at Liu Lan, "Apologize sincerely!"

Liu Lan's face was red from tears. She looked at Jiang Tang standing side by side with Qin Xiao and said, "I'm sorry!"

Jiang Tang blinked and ignored Liu Lan, looking at Qin Xiao, "Go eat with them."

She was afraid that going to Liu's house for dinner would affect her appetite.

Liu Guohui was anxious, "Sister-in-law, come on, you have to go with us."

He touched his short hair and said, "Hetian and Leizi are going to break off relations with me. If you don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise my head when I see my brothers in the future."

He really made a mistake. He had just returned from a career change and was happily planning to get together with his brothers, but he had no idea that something like this would happen.

Jiang Tang didn't expect Lei Zi and He Tian to have this attitude.

She glanced at Qin Xiao beside her.

Qin Xiao had a cold face and raised his hand to hold her. Jiang Tang actually heard a hint of indulgence in the man's calm tone, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

He had no plans to go there.

Jiang Tang looked at the two people, one big and one small, beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

She stared at Liu Lan, "Lan'er, why are you apologizing to me?"

Her expression was full of doubt, as if she really didn't know.

Liu Lan stared at her clasped hands, feeling aggrieved, "I forgot to call you. I'm sorry."

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows. "When you came, I was sitting next to Qin Xiao. How could you forget me? You are so young, but your memory is so bad?"

Liu Lan lowered her head and said, "My brother didn't let me call you. I'm sorry."

Liu Guohui: …

He had just returned and was tricked by his sister, and he had no way to refute her.

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows, blinked and said, "Do you remember it now?"

She stared at Liu Lan in front of her and grinned, "You apologize to me word for word, just say, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I will forgive you."

Didn't she dislike calling her sister-in-law? Now she suddenly wanted to hear this title.
