Chapter 17 (1)



Hearing Liu Hechang talking about changing the person, not only did Qin Caiyun's face change, but even the grown man Qin Lei's face changed, and he shouted directly: "Dream on, you slept with my daughter and you want to cancel the engagement, no way!"

Qin Lei's voice was very loud, not only the villagers in the house could hear it, but even the villagers who were watching the excitement in his yard could hear it clearly.

Qin Caiyun's face turned pale instantly because of Qin Lei's words.

Liu Hechang also became anxious and argued, "You are talking nonsense. Who slept with your daughter? There is nothing innocent between your daughter and me. If you don't believe me, ask your daughter!" The reason why he dared to cancel the engagement was because he had never touched Qin Caiyun.

The eyes of Zheng Guihua and others quickly focused on Qin Caiyun's face.

At this moment, Qin Caiyun's words could determine the direction of events.

Being stared at by everyone, Qin Caiyun's face turned red and white. She hated not only Liu Hechang for breaking off the engagement, but also her father for ruining her reputation in public. Now that this matter had been spoken out in public, whether it was true or false, she would never be able to clear her name for the rest of her life.

Qin Caiyun gritted her teeth and looked at Liu Hechang firmly. "Comrade Liu, you asked me to stay overnight at your house because you said you wanted to marry me. Now you want to cancel the engagement because I'm in trouble. Aren't you pushing me to death?"

After saying that, Qin Caiyun threw herself on Zhu Hongxia and burst into tears.

I really cried.

She cried for Liu Hechang's lack of responsibility as a man, for her father's disregard for her life for the sake of profit, and even more for her scalp scratched by a goose. She didn't know if her hair would grow back if she took care of it.

She really doesn't want to be a baldhead!

The room was filled with wailing sounds. Zheng Guihua, the head women's director, looked at the miserable Zhu Hongxia and her daughter with an extremely ugly expression on her face.

Although Qin Caiyun's answer did not directly answer the question of whether they slept or not, it was already a breach of etiquette to let a young lady stay overnight at home. Liu Hechang could not just let the matter go so amicably if he wanted to cancel the engagement, otherwise how would he live in Kaoshantun in the future.

Although Zheng Guihua blamed Qin Caiyun for not respecting herself, she had to help clean up the mess.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "This is not just a family affair of Qin Lei's family, it's a major event for our entire Kaoshan Village. You can't make the decision, and neither can I. The brigade secretary is not here, but the director of public security is here. Qin Jianming, go ask the director of public security to preside over justice."

Even though Liu Hechang is the chairman of the farm union, they are not pushovers.

Qin Jianming was smart enough and ran out of the house immediately after hearing Zheng Guihua's instructions.

As soon as he left the house, he was surrounded by villagers who were waiting in the yard to listen to gossip. They all asked curiously, "Qin Jianming, what's going on? Your sister dared not marry your brother-in-law after he slept with him?"

"Jianming, did your sister really get slept with or was she just pretending?"

"Is your brother-in-law trying to marry the most beautiful girl in your Qin family?"

"I think this man is dreaming. If he dares not marry the woman after sleeping with her, I will break his legs."

"Yes, the legs must be broken, otherwise some people would really think that we in Kaoshan Village are easy to bully and dare to come to our house to insult our girls."

"We can't let this old man get away with it so easily."

"Yes, we can't let him get away with it!"

Although the villagers who stayed in the village at that time were all those with mobility problems or too old to go up the mountain, many of them also thought of their own daughter because of Qin Caiyun's broken engagement. They would not tolerate Liu Hechang bullying their daughter and refusing to admit it.

As everyone talked about this, they became filled with indignation.

"The director asked me to ask for the director of public security. Please make way." Qin Jianming lowered his head. He did not dare to look people in the eye. The sixteen-year-old boy felt ashamed. He could not raise his head because his sister slept with someone before she got married.

"Hurry up and let Jianming go and ask the director of public security. We can't just let this go. Let the director of public security come to the Qin family and make the decision. We in Kaoshantun can't let others bully us."

Zheng Guihua spoke softly in the house, and no one in the yard could hear her. But when she heard that Qin Jianming was going to ask for the director of public security, she figured out the key point immediately and quickly moved away from the encircled area.

"Yes, let's get out of the way. Let Jianming quickly go and get the director of public security to come and administer justice."

Those who have daughters waiting to get married are even more active in helping and cheering.

A few seconds later, the road that had just blocked Qin Jianming's progress was immediately cleared.

Qin Jianming ran away in a hurry with a blushing face.

Looking at Qin Jianming's back in the distance, the villagers looked at each other. In their eyes, there was not only joy for Qin Lei's family, but also worry.

If the news of their unmatched marriage really spreads in their Kaoshan Village, the marriages of other girls in their village will definitely be affected, and it will be a big impact.

Qin Caiyun is a dishonest lady, and Qin Lei and his wife are no good either.

As the sun was setting, the villagers did not go home, but waited. No one would feel at ease until there was a result on the Qin family's matter, and they had to wait for the result. Thinking of this, everyone stuffed their hands into their sleeves, shivered their necks, and squatted in the yard of Qin Lei's house.

Qin Jianming met the public security director Qian Xiangyang on the way.

The news that Zheng Guihua and her friends had been attacked by wild boars in the mountains had been a hot topic since they entered the village. As the director of public security, Qian Xiangyang had to take charge of the matter. He immediately asked the old hunter in the village to treat his injuries.

The old hunter often went up the mountain to hunt when he was young, and he became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time.

Specially used to treat attacks by wild animals and injuries caused by falls.

Just as Qian Xiangyang was helping the disabled old hunter hurried to Qin Lei's home, Qin Jianming arrived.

"Director, Director Zheng asked you to go to my house as soon as possible." Qin Jianming told Zheng Guihua's instructions as soon as they met.

"What's the matter?" Qian Xiangyang is no fool to be the director of public security. As soon as Qin Jianming opened his mouth, he knew that there was something else important.

Qin Jianming's face instantly turned red when he was asked. He looked at Qian Xiangyang and the old hunter who were hesitant and did not tell them that Liu Hechang wanted to cancel the engagement.

"You're not a manly person if you keep dithering. Tell me what you want to say!"

Qian Xiangyang was a shrewd man. He knew that Zheng Guihua must have important business to talk to him about, and he couldn't judge without knowing the situation. Seeing that Qin Jianming couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, his anger rose rapidly.

Qin Jianming's face turned pale with fright after being yelled at. He dared not hide anything and directly confessed everything about Liu Hechang and Qin Caiyun.

After hearing this, Qian Xiangyang almost sighed to the sky.

The seriously injured Zhu Hongxia is still in critical condition, and her future son-in-law is making trouble again. He is really good at looking for trouble.

Although he thought so, Qian Xiangyang knew that the matter had to be dealt with quickly, so he said to Qin Jianming: "Help Uncle Lin come behind, I will go to your house first."

"Yes, Director." Qin Jianming quickly took over the job of supporting the old hunter, and at the same time took the medicine box delivered by Qian Xiangyang and put it on his back.

Qian Xiangyang said hello to the old hunter and hurried to the Qin family.

Qian Xiangyang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead when he arrived at the Qin family's house. Looking at the villagers squatting in the Qin family's yard watching the excitement, his face became even worse. He shouted, "Fellow villagers, hurry home. It's so cold in this winter. It's really hard to survive this winter smoothly."

The winter here is freezing cold, and the elderly, the weak, and the disabled are the most susceptible to illness and problems. Not to mention their curiosity. I really don't know what to say to them.

The villagers looked embarrassed when Qian Xiangyang yelled at them.

But some people also summoned up the courage to say: "Director Qian, you have to take charge of our Kaoshan Village and don't let outsiders bully our village."

"Yes, Director Qian, you also have daughters in your family. You must seek justice for all daughters in Kaoshan Village."

"Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist. Go home quickly and don't cause trouble for me."

Qian Xiangyang's face turned dark because of a few words from the villagers. You guys are still covering up the truth, but you are making a fuss everywhere. You are making trouble even though nothing happened. You are really short-sighted.

Seeing that Qian Xiangyang was really angry, everyone hurried home with their necks tightened.

Liu Sangunzi was also in the crowd.

His eyes were rolling around, looking into Qin Qingman's yard, then looking back at Qin Lei's yard, and finally he followed the crowd back home with a heavy heart.

His family was penniless, with only a small wooden house left by his parents.

If his parents had not died, the 32-year-old Liu Sangunzi would not have had such a hard life, so hard that he could not even find a wife.

Recalling what he heard in Qin Lei's yard, Liu Sangun kept thinking.

He had also set his sights on Qin Qingman before. After all, her parents were no longer around, and the two families were of similar financial status. If he hadn't disliked Chuchu for being too lazy to work, he would have asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to Qin Qingman long ago.

As a result, Qin Qingman's life became more and more prosperous due to this hesitation.

Thinking of the two important geese in the Qin family, Liu Sangunzi knew that Qin Qingman's family had become much better off. Considering that Qin Qingman was good at managing her life, he did not give up on Chuchu and simply asked a matchmaker to go to the Qin family to propose marriage in a few days.

Liu Sangunzi was dreaming at home, and Qin Qingman was rushing home with Wei Ling.

It gets dark early in the northeast in winter. It starts to get dark before four o'clock. Qin Qingman felt embarrassed to trouble Wei Ling to send her back as she could see Kaoshantun at the foot of the mountain.

And they are now standing at the best separation point.

Go left and you will go to Kaoshantun, go right and you will reach the military camp.

"Comrade Wei, that is Kaoshantun. It must be safe here. Thank you for taking me down the mountain." Qin Qingman, who was riding on a horse, pointed at Kaoshantun and introduced it to Wei Ling, while preparing to dismount.

"I'll take you back."

Wei Ling stopped Qin Qingman from getting off the horse. In such a snowy day, a horse would definitely walk faster than a person.

If I didn't send her there myself, Qin Qingman would probably not be able to get to the village until dark. If I sent her there myself, she would definitely arrive in less than 20 minutes.

Qin Qingman had already been escorted by Wei Ling all the way, so she didn't want to bother him again. She quickly and politely declined, "Comrade Wei, the military camp is farther away, and it's not easy to walk in the dark. You really don't have to escort me again. This place is very close to Shantun, and there won't be any dangerous animals."

Wei Ling was silent.

He had been thinking about his speech all the way, but he still hadn't figured out how to start.

"Comrade Wei...Comrade Wei?"

Seeing that Wei Ling didn't say anything, Qin Qingman became a little anxious.

She got into danger in the mountains today and was delayed until so late to return home. I wonder what Zhu Hongxia and the others will say to Chuchu when they get back. If Chuchu is worried and comes out to look for her on her own, something serious will happen.

Qin Qingman's voice startled Wei Ling. Wei Ling felt the weight on his shoulders and suddenly had an idea. "Comrade Qin, you also contributed half to this wild boar. I should give you half."

Gulp!

Qin Qingman's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.

She had been eyeing this wild boar for a long time. Such a big wild boar would contain a lot of meat, enough to replenish her and Chuchu's nutrition for a long time.

But she also knew that the wild boar died at the hands of Wei Ling and was his trophy. Even her life was saved by him. How could she have the nerve to ask for a share of the meat? She didn't ask, but Wei Ling took the initiative to offer the meat. Qin Qingman was moved.

Very exciting.

In those days, everything had to be purchased with coupons. It was not easy to have a meal of meat, and it was even more difficult for rural people.

Qin Qingman's silence meant that she was moving. Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief and patted the horse's butt gently with his hand. The horse, which had already had a tacit understanding with him, continued to walk towards Kaoshantun. This not only eased Qin Qingman's embarrassment, but also gave Wei Ling a reason to continue to accompany her.

At this point, Qin Qingman didn't pretend to be sympathetic. After thinking for a while, she thanked him sincerely, "Comrade Wei, my family really needs meat to supplement nutrition. I'm not being polite to you. My family has no money and I can't produce receipts, but my cooking skills are OK. When you are free in the future, you can come to my house for dinner and I will cook for you."

This sentence can be said to be the most simple way of expressing thanks by farmers.

Wei Ling felt satisfied after giving away half a pig in exchange for the person he loved to cook for him. "Okay."

Where Qin Qingman couldn't see, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

I feel very good.

After reaching a consensus, the two continued walking towards Kaoshantun in silence and tacit understanding.

At this time, Qian Xiangyang had already been dealing with Liu Hechang at Qin Lei's house for a while, but ever since Liu Hechang met Qin Qingman, he had been very disgusted with Qin Caiyun and wanted to cancel the engagement no matter what.

Liu Hechang refused to listen, and Qian Xiangyang got angry and started to speak in a tough tone, "Comrade Liu Hechang, marriage is not a joke, you should think twice. You are the chairman of the farm union, and your reputation is sometimes more important than anything else."

He is not like the short-sighted Zhu Hongxia and her husband. He has a certain understanding of Liu Hechang.

Although some of the words were private rumors, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. If Liu Hechang, who has a bad reputation, dares to show off his power in Kaoshantun, he will let the other party know that power is not so easy to show off.

There is a reason why Qian Xiangyang is so confident. Although he lives in Kaoshantun and is a native of Kaoshantun, the director of public security is the director of public security of the Red Flag Brigade, and the scope of his jurisdiction is not limited to Kaoshantun.

Faced with Qian Xiangyang's tough stance, Liu Hechang was also cautious.

He broke off the marriage with the Qin family, not to offend Qian Xiangyang. Helplessly, Liu Hechang could only emphasize again and again, "Comrade Qian, I really didn't touch Comrade Qin Caiyun. I swear to God, it's true."

This was the only reason he could break off the engagement.

Qian Xiangyang glanced at the old hunter who was checking Zhu Hongxia's injuries, and took Liu Hechang to the hall. He drove away Qin Lei who followed him, and then whispered to Liu Hechang: "Comrade Liu, there is no need to talk about whether it was touched or not. You were not thorough enough at the time, so don't blame the Qin family for holding on to you now."

He finally saw clearly that Liu Hechang had abandoned Qin Caiyun before they even got married, and even if they really got married, Qin Caiyun would not have a good life.

It is better for the resentful couple to separate early, so that Qin Caiyun will not die early like Liu Hechang's ex-wife in a few years.

Seeing that Qian Xiangyang's words left room for maneuver, Liu Hechang was also a shrewd person, "Comrade Qian, I was really plotted by the Qin family and had to agree to the engagement. Several children in my family disagreed with this marriage. Today, I am not rejecting Qin Caiyun because she is hurt. I am just not happy with this marriage. After all, I am almost fifty years old. How can I marry an eighteen-year-old lady?"

He speaks beautifully.

Qian Xiangyang did not comment on Liu Hechang's words. Regardless of who was right or wrong, he knew exactly what kind of person Liu Hechang was. He even broke off the engagement and still tried to flatter himself. He was really a piece of shit.

I just don't know whose girl this old guy has taken a fancy to and what his intentions are.

"Comrade Qian, I know it's not kind of me to cancel the engagement at this juncture. So, to show my sincerity, I will pay for Mrs. Zhu's treatment. This is my apology to Comrade Qin Caiyun."

Liu Hechang changed his address to Zhu Hongxia from aunt to sister-in-law. Not only was he thick-skinned, he also knew how to make concessions. He then said generously: "Comrade Qian, I will arrange for my two older nephews, Jianming and Jianjun, to work on the farm."

He believed that the Qin family would definitely care about this bargaining chip.

Qian Xiangyang had to admit to Liu Hechang in his heart that with such "sincerity", no matter whether Qin Caiyun, the person involved, agreed or not, at least Qin Lei and his wife would definitely agree to cancel the engagement.

Sure enough, after hearing Qian Xiangyang's message, Qin Lei was moved.

Not only Qin Lei was moved, but even Zhu Hongxia, who had just woken up, was moved.

There is nothing more cost-effective in the world than being able to find jobs for both sons without having to sell out my daughter. It's better than really finding an old son-in-law. That old guy Liu Hechang is not a good person at all.

As for whether the young lady suffered a loss at the beginning, no one cared about it anymore in the face of interests.

"Father, agree." Zhu Hongxia, who had just come to her senses, grabbed Qin Lei's hand tightly.

"Okay, I'll let Liu write a note. If he dares to go back on his word, I'll take the note to his workplace and make trouble." Qin Lei was also quite smart and he immediately thought of a way out.

"I don't agree."

Just when Qin Lei and Zhu Hongxia showed a bit of joy on their faces, a sharp voice sounded beside them.

It’s Qin Caiyun.

Looking at Qin Caiyun, Qin Lei and Zhu Hongxia were furious.

Seeing that the matter had already been settled, they had no choice but not to tell the dead girl about Liu Hechang's mess, but now it was different.

In the beginning, marrying off a concubine only bought one son a job. Now, without having to marry off a concubine, not only can two sons eat public food, but there is also money for medical treatment. How could Qin Caiyun possibly ruin such a well-planned deal?

Qin Lei glanced at his two sons and said, "Send your sister back to the house. Don't come out unless necessary."

This is to put Qin Caiyun under house arrest.

"Dad, you can't do this to me, I..." Qin Caiyun was covered in mouth with a rag before she could finish her words. Qin Jianming then took her to another room and kept her under guard, one on each side, with Qin Jianjun.

When it comes to their own interests, the two brothers don't respect Qin Caiyun that much.

Especially when touching her butt that was burning from being pecked by the goose, Qin Jianming and Qin Jianjun suppressed Qin Caiyun's struggle.

"Sister, stop making trouble. Liu Hechang is really no good. You won't have a good life if you marry him. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. You might as well find someone else and live a stable life." Qin Jianming couldn't help but give her some advice, thinking that he got his job because of Qin Caiyun.

Qin Caiyun, whose mouth was blocked, was so angry that her eyes widened.

Liu Hechang's situation was not something his family could keep secret. Qian Aimin had told her part of it at the beginning, and she had heard part of it when she went to the family area on the farm. She had long known what kind of person Liu Hechang was.

What she valued when marrying him was not the man himself, but the power in Liu Hechang's hands.

"Wuwuwu..." Qin Caiyun struggled hard. She did not agree to cancel the engagement. After her father's howl today, even if the engagement was cancelled, it was not certain that she would meet a better partner. She would also be scolded behind her back.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, Qin Caiyun fainted before she could even roll her eyes.

Qin Jianming looked at Qin Jianjun in surprise, as if he didn't know him.

Qin Jianjun put down the stick in his hand as if nothing had happened and explained calmly: "Sister is a little tired, I will be fine after a good sleep." Although he is not yet of working age, having a job is a popular thing these days, so how could he let Qin Caiyun ruin his good thing.

He had no benefit from Qin Caiyun's marriage before, but now he can gain benefits from breaking off the engagement. Of course, he was the first to support Liu Hechang.

After hearing what Qin Jianjun said, Qin Jianming also understood the key point.

His face flushed with excitement.

In the hall, Liu Hechang and Qin Lei reached a consensus. Under the witness of Qian Xiangyang, the director of public security, the two parties signed an agreement to break off the engagement. The agreement did not clearly state the work arrangements for the Qin Jianming brothers, which was another metaphorical compensation.

Since it was Qian Xiangyang who was in charge of breaking off the engagement, he would not dare to fake the compensation to Liu Hechang.

The agreement was made in triplicate, with Qin Lei and Liu Hechang each keeping one copy, and the remaining copy being kept by the witness Qian Xiangyang.

"Brother, how about having a meal at my house?"

Liu Hechang's marriage was called off in a "generous" way, and Qin Lei, who had gained practical benefits, did not want to be stingy.

Liu Hechang glanced at the injured women lying on the kang. He felt too embarrassed to stay and declined, "Brother, I won't stay today. The village is far from the town. I will go back to see the children first and come back to bother you another day."

Qin Lei took a look at his own situation and sighed helplessly.

Many people from Lao Qin's family went up the mountain today, and he was the only grown man at home to look after several children. As a result, all the wives who went up the mountain were hit by wild boars. It was indeed a bit inappropriate to treat them now, so he just went with the flow. "Okay, brother, it's getting late, so I won't keep you. Come to my house when you have time, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you a delicious meal."

Qin Lei was able to gain some benefits, so he spoke politely.

"Brother, please take care of sister-in-law first. We can visit each other when we are free." Liu Hechang, who had broken off the engagement, was free from worries. He opened the curtain of Qin Lei's house and prepared to leave. He had other thoughts. Of course, the Qin family would come in the future.

As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Qin Qingman and Wei Ling approaching on horseback.

In the dim sky, Liu Hechang couldn't see either Wei Ling's or Qin Qingman's face clearly, but he knew that Wei Ling was a man.

How can this be!

"Qin Qingman!" Liu Hechang couldn't help but open his mouth and called out.

Hearing the cry, Qin Qingman looked over and saw that it was Liu Hechang. She suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly alive. She suppressed her disgust and ignored Liu Hechang. Qin Qingman led Wei Ling and continued to walk towards her home.

Wei Ling saw that Qin Qingman ignored Liu Hechang and remained silent, but there was a cold look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Hechang.

At Qin Lei's house, Liu Hechang was furious when he saw that Qin Qingman ignored him.

He was so angry that he rushed out of the Qin family and ran towards Qin Qingman, saying in dissatisfaction: "Qin Qingman, it's almost dark, why are you walking with a man? Do you know your limits?" He treated Qin Qingman as his own property.

At the same time, he reached out to Qin Qingman, trying to pull her to his side.

Liu Hechang called Qin Qingman in a very loud voice, so loud that not only everyone in Qin Lei's house heard it, but also Chuchu who had been waiting for Qin Qingman next door heard it.

The moment she heard the sound, Chuchu led the two geese and opened the door.

Outside the courtyard gate, facing Liu Hechang who was rushing towards her and trying to pull her, how could Qin Qingman let him touch her? Without even thinking, she kicked him and cursed at the same time.

"Who are you? Why do you care who I am with? Why don't you take a piss and look at your old face in the mirror? Even if you are a malicious person, you should check whether you have the qualifications. You are really worrying about nothing. What a jerk."

Liu Hechang didn't notice that Qin Qingman was going to kick him, and he was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground, falling into the thick snow.

Qin Qingman's kick at Liu Hechang was so fast that Wei Ling, who was half a beat slower, could only silently retract his foot.

"Qin Qingman, what are you doing!"

Qin Qingman was not polite at all when she scolded Liu Hechang, and her words were even very unpleasant, which shocked Qin Lei, Qian Xiangyang and others who came later. Qin Lei even cried out in surprise.

As they got closer, they could not only see Wei Ling's appearance and the military uniform on his body, but also the strong wild boar on the horse's back.

Qian Xiangyang had already learned from Zheng Guihua and others that the villagers had encountered wild boars in the mountains, and he also heard that Qin Qingman was chased by a wild boar. He originally planned to go to the military camp for help, but he encountered Liu Hechang and broke off the engagement. This delay lasted until Qin Qingman returned.

Seeing Qin Qingman unharmed, Qian Xiangyang, the director of public security, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope no one died!

"Director Qian, I don't know this person and I've never seen him before. You all heard what he said just now. If he doesn't give me an explanation today, I will report it to the police immediately and ask them to find out who this person is and why he is calling me by my name."

Qin Qingman tolerated Liu Hechang once, and there was no way she could tolerate him a second time. This kind of disgusting thing must be trampled to the bottom.

Since Qin Caiyun can't be subdued, then she will take care of it.

After hearing Qin Qingman's words, Qian Xiangyang's face darkened, and he looked at Liu Hechang with more dissatisfaction and disgust. As a shrewd man, he immediately understood Liu Hechang's real goal.

What a troublesome old fellow!

Liu Hechang, who had just been helped up from the ground by Qin Lei, suddenly realized that he had no right to care about Qin Qingman. In addition, Qin Qingman had just cursed him so harshly that his expression was as ugly as it could be.

"Apologize, apologize to me right now, or we'll meet at the police station."

Qin Qingman looked at Liu Hechang with cold eyes.

"Sister, isn't this guy Sister Caiyun's boyfriend? Didn't they say they would hold a wedding banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year?" Chu Chu was worthy of being Qin Qingman's younger brother. This brilliant assist was very timely.

"It turned out to be my future brother-in-law, Comrade Liu Hechang. How could this cousin-in-law who hasn't even married yet already be in charge of my family? He's overreaching. If you don't know, you would think that everyone in my uncles' families is dead. Otherwise, how could they let a son-in-law from outside be the head of the family?"

Qin Qingman cursed people harshly enough, even including several of her uncles' families and Liu Hechang.

Qin Lei was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he didn't dare to argue.

If he really revealed their previous plot against Qin Qingman in front of the public security director Qian Xiangyang, he would still be in big trouble.

Unable to curse or talk back, Qin Lei felt extremely aggrieved in front of his niece.

Zhu Hongxia and several sisters-in-law were also very angry when they heard Qin Qingman's curse in the room, but they were all injured and lying down. Even if they wanted to curse Qin Qingman, they couldn't bring themselves to do so. The old hunter had told them not to use force when he applied the medicine to them.

You have to use force to swear at someone, and when the wound breaks out, they are the ones who suffer.

"You, go out and scold that damned girl Qin Qingman."

Zhu Hongxia really couldn't bear this anger, so she pointed at Qin Zhenzhu who was taking care of them beside the kang.

Qin Zhenzhu is Li Meina's daughter. Although Li Meina and Zhu Hongxia can play together, she doesn't intend to teach her daughter vulgar things. She quickly glared at Qin Zhenzhu who had no vision and said, "Zhenzhu, I'm thirsty. Go out and get me a glass of water."

"Got it, Mom."

Qin Zhenzhu was quite smart. After getting Li Meina's hint, she immediately pulled the confused Qin Huihui and Jiang Dongmei out of the house, and then stayed in the living room, warming herself by the fire and eavesdropping on what was happening outside.

They had heard what Qin Qingman had just said when she scolded Liu Hechang. Because they heard it clearly, they were shocked and surprised.

Qin Qingman at this time was completely different from the cousin in their memory.

In my memory, my cousin has never been so courageous and fierce.

It was so spicy that they were both afraid and jealous.

Just when Qin Zhenzhu and others' feelings towards Qin Qingman changed, Zhu Hongxia in the room looked at her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law with an unchanging expression, "Are you on guard against me?" She was not blind, so how could she not see that Li Meina was deliberately trying to make Qin Zhenzhu avoid her.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry."

Li Meina knew Zhu Hongxia's character and took the initiative to explain: "Second sister-in-law, Director Qian and Director Zheng are here. They are the ones who make the decision. We should not get involved blindly. Have you forgotten how we plotted against Qingman? If Qingman is really mad, the anger will burn us."

Zhu Hongxia, who was determined to explain, immediately felt guilty.

The original plan to arrange for Qin Qingman and Liu Hechang to meet was not just her and Qin Xiang's idea, but the two sisters-in-law also had a hand in it. Originally, it was agreed that everyone would share the benefits, but now only the second branch of the family got the benefits.

Facing the gazes of Li Meina and several other people, Zhu Hongxia felt very lacking in confidence.

She didn't dare to say anything to Li Meina anymore, and she didn't even have the nerve to blame Qin Zhenzhu for not listening to her.

They even changed the subject, "Don't you think Qingman has changed a lot?" In the past, Qin Qingman not only couldn't do anything even if they were beaten with three sticks, but was also timid and fearful. But they all heard clearly just now that Qingman scolded Liu Hechang, and she did it very fluently.

This is a bit magical. I used to pretend to feel uncomfortable, but now I don’t pretend anymore?!

“It’s definitely a little different.”

Qin Xiang covered her injured waist and gritted her teeth.

When they were in the mountains, they had already run far enough. If Qin Qingman hadn't led the wild boar towards them, they wouldn't have been hit by the wild boar. If they hadn't been hit by the wild boar, they wouldn't have been injured and lying on the kang.

"Qingman is absolutely responsible for our injuries. She has to pay for our medical expenses."

Yao Chunying and Li Meina also covered their wounds and were furious.

They are not Zhu Hongxia, but no one helps them to cover the medical expenses. As long as they think about Liu Hechang and Qin Caiyun breaking off the engagement, they will not be able to get any benefits. They not only resent Qin Qingman, but also blame Zhu Hongxia.

Seeing that she had caused public outrage, Zhu Hongxia wisely shut her mouth.

Anyway, no matter what, her family won't pay a penny more, absolutely no money!

Several women in the room were plotting and scheming against each other, while outside the room Qin Qingman looked at Liu Hechang with increasingly cold eyes. She was not afraid of what Liu Hechang would say at all, because there was nothing between them anyway.

"Apologize. Who are you to give orders to my family?"

Behind Chuchu stood two majestic geese, and with her most reassuring sister by her side, she became full of courage and bravery. The children had no good face towards Liu Hechang.

This man was old and ugly, and the way he looked at his sister made him feel extremely disgusted.

Liu Hechang's expression was really ugly. He saw that Qin Qingman was fearless and wanted to tell her that they were dating. However, he felt Qian Xiangyang's dangerous gaze and finally suppressed his greed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my authority."

"Don't overstep your authority in the future. My family and my second uncle's family are two separate families. We each have our own responsibilities and should not interfere with each other."

Qin Qingman warned Liu Hechang.

Liu Hechang is an outsider and has no vested interest in their Kaoshan Village. Even if she doesn't give him face, only her uncle and aunt who have ulterior motives will be dissatisfied, and no one else in the village will say anything. If Liu Hechang really dares to make trouble, she will really report him to the Public Security Bureau.

As long as the people in the village knew Liu Hechang's character, Qin Qingman believed that everyone in the village would help her.

Liu Hechang was outmaneuvered by Qin Qingman and had no face to stay. He got on his bicycle and prepared to return to the town before it got completely dark.

Qin Qingman knew that Liu Hechang would not give up easily, so she simply took Wei Ling's arm and introduced him to Qian Xiangyang and Zheng Guihua: "Director Qian, Director Zheng, this is my date, her surname is Wei, and her name is Wei Ling."

To be honest, she had no choice.

The reason why Wei Ling was introduced to the public was, first, to dispel Liu Hechang's thoughts about him; second, to shock the evil-minded Qin Lei; and third, to stop Zhu Hongxia and her aunts from plotting against his marriage.

It was just a spur of the moment decision, and I didn't discuss it with Wei Ling.

With trepidation, Qin Qingman took Wei Ling's hand and consciously grasped Wei Ling's arm tightly.

She was really worried that Wei Ling would not cooperate with her.

Originally, when Wei Ling was feeling ecstatic about Qin Qingman's introduction, he felt Qin Qingman's hand tightly grasping his arm. The clear-minded man was suddenly chilled to the bone like a basin of cold water.

After adjusting his mood, Wei Ling nodded slightly to Qian Xiangyang and Zheng Guihua.

Qian Xiangyang looked at the tall and handsome Wei Ling, and was in a trance for a moment, then he smiled, "Good, that's great, now that Qingman has someone to rely on, I, an old man, can rest assured. It's cold, you guys should hurry home and warm yourself by the fire, don't freeze."

He planned to ask anything tomorrow. As for the nonsense that Qin Xiang and the others said, there were more than just them who went up the mountain, and there were many witnesses. He would never allow them to develop a bad atmosphere in Kaoshan Village.

Just when the atmosphere on Qin Qingman's side was harmonious and joyful, a clear sound of someone falling was heard not far away.

It was Liu Hechang who had just gotten on his bicycle and fell down.

"I'll go check out the situation." Wei Ling gently patted Qin Qingman's hand which was on his arm, and looked at Qin Qingman with a very clear gaze.

"Okay." Although Qin Qingman didn't know what Wei Ling was going to do, she consciously let go of his arm.

Wei Ling had just given her face, so of course she had to give him face as well.

Wei Ling, whose hand was released, walked quickly towards Liu Hechang who had fallen off his bicycle under the surprised gazes of Qin Lei and the others, and reached out to support him, saying with concern, "Comrade, are you okay?"

At this moment, Liu Hechang was confused and didn't want Wei Ling to help him at all. Just when he was about to wave away Wei Ling's hand, he found that his arm was completely out of control because Wei Ling's hand was holding him so tightly that he couldn't move.

"Hand over Qingman's photo."

Wei Ling's voice rang softly in Liu Hechang's ears, very light and very cold.

The first time he met Qin Qingman was in the state-owned hotel in the town. Wei Ling knew that Qin Qingman's photo had been given to Liu Hechang by her uncle and aunt, and he wanted to get the photo back.

Liu Hechang immediately realized that Wei Ling had no good intentions in coming to help him, and his purpose was to get Qin Qingman's photo.

But the photo was given to him by the matchmaker, so what right did he have to return it?

"Think carefully about whether you want to pay it back or not!"

Wei Ling slowly exerted strength with his hands. The force of a punch that could kill a wild boar was beyond what Liu Hechang could bear. With just a little force, Liu Hechang was sweating profusely from the pain. He did not dare to cry out in pain because Wei Ling pretended to be so good that if he dared to cry out in pain, others would roll their eyes at him.

“I don’t have any photos.”

Enduring the pain, Liu Hechang thought
