"Buy gossip." Xu Jinyi joked.
Qin Yue was stunned: "You know that too?"
"Well, as a friend, I'm concerned about what you think."
Qin Yue brought a stool out for Xu Jinyi: "To be honest, I feel a little happy, a little disappointed, a little expectant, and a little aggrieved."
This surprised Xu Jinyi: "You still like second brother?"
Qin Yue smiled, her thoughts returning to that sunny afternoon. She vaguely remembered the handsome look of the tall figure standing in front of her when the wild boar pounced on her.
"So he was a hero who saved a beauty, and thus captured her true heart." Xu Jinyi nodded in understanding.
"I never thought about getting married, nor did I want to destroy his marriage. I thought that was how my life would be, but when he got divorced, it was like a hope rose in my heart."
"Until I heard that the Shi family came to propose marriage, I realized that I had not forgotten him, but had placed him in the deepest part of my heart."
"But when I found out it was my aunt who came to my house, I felt wronged. It wasn't him. Even after the divorce, he never thought of coming to see me."
As she spoke, Qin Yue's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.
Xu Jinyi handed over a tissue: "Maybe he feels that he is not worthy of you and dares not appear in front of you?"
"I asked my aunt whether she came here on her own initiative or on his."
"But I ended up disappointed, so I didn't say anything when my mom asked for three turns and one ring."
Xu Jinyi nodded: "If he really took out the three-turn one-ring, would you marry him?"
Qin Yue shook her head: "I don't know."
Xu Jinyi looked at her: "You are willing to marry him, but you can't see his determination, his sincerity, or whether he is sincere, right?"
"Women understand women. If this is what Auntie means, I think I will refuse."
Of course Xu Jinyi understood that women are emotional animals.
If the second brother had asked for marriage, this would have been a done deal.
Perhaps Qin Yue could persuade her parents with three turns and one sound.
"Okay, I understand. Do you need me to go back and find out for you?"
Qin Yue blushed and suddenly remembered something. She told Xu Jinyi about Xu Tiantian falling into the cesspool.
"You didn't see how miserable she was. She was covered in shit and she was stinking when she climbed up. Her mouth, nose, hair, and whole body were covered in shit."
"I can't even eat when I think about it. I heard there are still a lot of roundworms crawling on her body."
Xu Jinyi thought of that scene in his mind and couldn't help but say, "Ugh..."
She retched several times. The baby in her belly was more than a month old, and she had not shown any early pregnancy symptoms.
After hearing what Qin Yue said, he couldn't help but retching.
"Jinyi, are you okay? I won't say anything more." Seeing Xu Jinyi's eyes turned red from vomiting, the beauty's tearful look was extremely pitiful.
"It's okay, so how is she?"
"As soon as I climbed up, I frightened myself to death."
"She was so dirty, and no one came to help her. The barefoot doctor checked her out and said there was nothing wrong, so he just let her lie there until she woke up."
"I heard he's resting now. He hasn't been out in the field for several days."
"But I heard that some ruffians in the village took advantage of her while she was lying on the ground with her belly down."
"I also saw those hooligans hanging around the educated youth camp."
Xu Jinyi’s eyes widened. Perhaps Xu Tiantian would kill herself without her having to do anything next.
As for the second brother, he had just returned from Wang Jinfeng's visit to the Qin family and was sitting in the room.
Thinking of Qin Yue who was delayed by him, he felt full of guilt.
But he was also a little excited in his heart, wondering if Qin Yue would still like him now.
When Shi Yu came over, seeing his expression, she simply said, "How many years can a woman have? She's already missed it before, so is she going to miss it for the rest of her life?"
"Cherish the one in front of you. If you feel guilty, spend your whole life making up for it."
Shi Erge was awakened by his words. He got up, changed into his best clothes, tidied up his appearance and went to Qin's house.
Shi Erge came back with a smile on his face and found Wang Jinfeng as soon as possible.
Wang Jinfeng thought that after the Qin family proposed the three transfers and one ring, she thought that these two people had no chance, but she didn't expect there to be a sudden turn of events.
When the Qin family saw the second brother's sincere look, and Qin Yue also agreed, they agreed.
"You said their family doesn't want three turns and one ring, and we will prepare the betrothal gifts?" Wang Jinfeng was overjoyed.
The second brother's expression became serious: "Mom, I am sorry for Qin Yue. I want to borrow money from my fourth brother. I want to marry Qin Yue in a grand ceremony."
Wang Jinfeng's eyes widened. "You don't really want to prepare three turns and one ring, do you? Do you know how much that's worth?"
"Let's not talk about whether Lao Si has the money or not. Even if he does, how many work points do you need to earn to pay it back?"
Three turns and one sound, that's a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio.
Not only are these things extremely expensive, but even if you have money you may not be able to buy them; you need a ticket.
The second brother's face flushed. "I plan to go to the town to see if there is any hard work that can make money. I can do anything, such as carrying sacks or working in the coal mines."
"If you can't afford three turns and one ring, one will do. As for the gift money, I'm planning to lend you sixty-eight yuan."
Wang Jinfeng felt dizzy. She couldn't even calculate these astronomical-sounding figures.
"You've grown up now, and the family has separated. You should handle your own affairs."
The second brother smiled innocently and said, "Mom, I'll go find my fourth brother."
Wang Jinfeng had no choice but to speak: "Your father and I will pay for the 68 yuan gift money. You are not responsible for the rest."
"Don't say anything stupid. I, your mother, can afford the gift money."
"Thank you, Mom."
On the other side, Xu Jinyi was listening to Shi Yu talking about his childhood and how his second brother treated him when he was young.
Xu Jinyi supported her face, raised her head, and said with a frown: "Why don't you just say it directly?"
"He kept saying good things about my second brother in front of me, saying how he took the blame for you when you were little, how he was so good to you, and all that nonsense."
Shi Yu grabbed Xu Jinyi's soft little hand and said, "Wife, I want to build a brick house for you."
"This way you'll be safer. I'm afraid something might happen to you when I'm not home."
Xu Jinyi's eyes lit up: "That's fine. Even if I go to the army or something, the house won't be wasted and my parents can live there."
Xu Jinyi never wanted to live in this dusty house again. Many times, after she finished cooking, the house was covered with dust, wasting a good dish.
She had plenty of money anyway: "How much does a brick house cost? I want to build a separate toilet and a pressurized well."
"If you're going to build it, build it well and have more rooms so the children will have a place to live."
Shi Yu's face froze: "Yier, if you like children, we can adopt one."
