The people of Kaoshantun looked at Qin Qingman with a bit of embarrassment. They hadn't expected that what started out as a few words to the Wan family would end up being a quarrel between a few women and Xu Lianhua and her daughter. This quarrel was indeed a bit far-fetched.
The people in Kaoshantun felt that they were eating carrots too salty, but Xu Lianhua and Wan Lin's faces turned pale with anger.
Although Xu Lianhua is usually strong-willed and can win arguments, she suffered a great loss today when she met a group of women from Kaoshan Village.
You can't win the argument.
She couldn't win an argument against those women in Kaoshantun.
The main reason was that Wan Lin was holding her back. When an unmarried young lady quarreled with a group of women, some of the words she said would have an impact on her, so the mother and daughter could only lose step by step in the quarrel.
“Qingman!”
When Xu Lianhua saw Qin Qingman, she felt like she had seen a savior.
If Qin Qingman showed up a little later, she estimated that she would be scolded to death by these women from Kaoshantun.
Qin Qingman glanced at the Wan family indifferently without saying hello. Instead, she smiled and nodded to the villagers of Kaoshantun who helped her scold the Wan family. She had just heard how everyone scolded the Wan family.
To be honest, she really wanted to curse at him.
If she wasn't related to the Wan family by blood, or if she wasn't concerned about her image, the words that the villagers just used to curse the Wan family would be the most satisfying and direct.
"Qingman girl, well, it's getting late, I have to go home for dinner."
"Oh, I've been sweeping the snow for so long that my clothes are soaked. No, I have to go home and change clothes, otherwise I'll catch a cold. Qingman, I'm going home first. If there's anything, just let me know."
"Yes, my son just called me home for dinner, so I'm going home too."
"Qingman, we are all from the same village. If you need anything, just let me know. We'll go home first."
The group of people who had just been arguing fiercely with Xu Lianhua and her daughter, when they saw Qin Qingman show up, they thought for a moment and quickly found an excuse to go home.
Let's not worry about the grudges between the Wan family and the Qin family. If Qin Qingman, the person involved, doesn't speak up, it's really hard for outsiders to get involved. This will easily make Qin Qingman an enemy and make outsiders think that they are overbearing because they have the support of others.
"Everyone, hurry home. You've been sweeping snow for so long, your underwear must be wet. Go home and change." Qin Qingman did not blame people for worrying about trivial matters, but was concerned about everyone's health.
Everyone immediately understood what Qin Qingman meant. They greeted each other with a smile and went home.
Sanmu and Chuchu, who were peeking from a distance, were dumbfounded.
They originally thought they could watch the excitement for a while longer, but the crowd dispersed just as they walked out the door and before they could even hear a word.
"What should we do?" Sanmu looked at Chuchu and asked in a very low voice.
Chu Chu didn't know what to do, but he knew he had to go home quickly, otherwise he would be caught by his sister.
"Awooo--" The wolf cub was smart enough. Hearing Chuchu and Sanmu's voices were very soft, it also hummed very softly.
"Sanmu, hurry home. I see your father has already gone home. If he doesn't see you when he gets back, you will probably be beaten." Chuchu stuck her head out and took another look at the dispersing crowd. She had to tell her little friend this not-so-good news.
Sanmu was originally asked by his mother to go out and find his father to have dinner. If his father came back and he hadn't returned yet, he might really be beaten.
"Then...then I'll go back." Miki said while touching his belly.
He hasn't had breakfast yet and is feeling hungry.
"Hurry back, I'm going back too." Chuchu patted Sanmu's shoulder, then covered her chest and ran home quickly.
He had just seen it, his sister was taking Wan Mingxi and his family home.
If my sister doesn't see me when she comes home...
Chuchu didn't dare to think about it anymore. She ran very fast with her short legs, and even knocked the wolf cub in her arms. The wolf cub thought Chuchu was playing games with it, and looked down curiously.
I really want to jump off the ground and run away by myself.
"Dudu, just stay here and don't cause any trouble for me." Chuchu had been with the wolf cub for a while, so she guessed what the wolf cub meant, and she hugged the wolf cub tighter in her arms.
Afraid that the wolf cub would escape on its own.
Sanmu didn't react as quickly as Chuchu. Chuchu ran home, but he stayed there without moving.
At this time, he was very surprised at Chuchu's running speed.
"Mimu, why are you here?"
Just as Sanmu turned around and was about to go home, a pleasant voice rang in his ears. Sanmu looked up and saw Qin Qingman with a gentle face.
"Aunt Qingman." The child called out obediently.
"Well, be good and go home quickly. Your mother is here to see you for dinner." Qin Qingman rubbed Sanmu's head, looked in the direction of her home, and guessed something.
When Sanmu heard his mother coming out to find him, he immediately became anxious, "Aunt Qingman, I'm going home." After saying that, he ran away in a flash, and of course his speed was faster than Chuchu.
Qin Qingman looked at the child's back and shook her head slightly. While leading the child home, she lamented in her heart that Sanmu might be beaten by his mother.
Because she really didn't lie just now, Sanmu's mother not only went out to look for Sanmu, but also held a stick in her hand. She probably guessed that Sanmu had gone out to play and forgot to return home.
"Qingman, I'm sorry, I don't want to quarrel with them."
Although Xu Lianhua's family followed Qin Qingman, they didn't know why, and although Qin Qingman didn't say anything harsh or show any displeasure to them, they suddenly became timid when facing Qin Qingman.
They suddenly had the illusion of being in the presence of a leader.
Xu Lianhua's feelings were particularly strong. As they walked, she couldn't help but apologize.
"Yeah." Qin Qingman only uttered a faint "hmm" when she heard Xu Lianhua's apology.
No one could tell the tone of the "hmm", but everyone felt uneasy in their hearts.
Especially Wan Liang and Wan Lin.
Wan Liang suddenly felt that Qin Qingman was even more majestic than Wu Yuanming, and made him feel more nervous and afraid.
Wan Lin was dissatisfied and unconvinced.
Having not seen Qin Qingman for over a year, she originally thought she would meet a young girl, but the reality was completely the opposite of what she had imagined. Not only was Qin Qingman not a young girl, her entire face had even grown.
It becomes very beautiful and eye-catching.
Even though Wan Lin was very confident about her appearance, after seeing Qin Qingman's face clearly, she still couldn't say against her conscience that she was prettier than her.
Qin Qingman was especially wearing a new red cotton coat, the red color made her fair and delicate skin look even whiter and more delicate.
Wanlin was jealous, very jealous.
Whenever she thought of what Xu Lianhua had said before, her heart felt as uncomfortable and unbearable as a cat's paw. She was even more curious about what kind of man Qin Qingman married and what he looked like.
Qin Qingman walked in front of the group with a calm expression.
She originally didn't plan to invite him back home. After all, there was really nothing to talk about between the two families, and she didn't plan to recognize this family anymore. But after thinking about it carefully, she decided to invite him back and make things clear once and for all.
How should I put it? The Wan family is a typical snob.
This kind of person knows how to pursue profit and avoid harm the most. He is a villain, a real villain.
The villain is shameless. If she doesn't make things clear, the other party will keep pestering her. She doesn't want to be entangled with this family anymore, so she plans to solve it once and for all, to avoid the Wan family from taking advantage of her in the future, which would be too annoying.
Qin Qingman thought so, but Wan Mingxi and Xu Lianhua did not think so.
They thought that since Qin Qingman still invited him home, she must still have feelings for him. As long as they played the emotional card, they would definitely be able to soften Qin Qingman's heart.
As long as a woman has a soft heart, things will be easy.
Wan Mingxi and his wife felt that as long as Qin Qingman was willing to recognize them, then Qin Qingman's man would definitely help them. As long as they could borrow Wei Ling's power, then it would not be a problem for them to make a comeback in Hongqi Farm.
Thinking of this, Wan Mingxi and Xu Lianhua drifted away.
Wan Mingxi carried the grain and Xu Lianhua carried the meat, and they walked out triumphantly with the wind in their feet.
The two of them thought Qin Qingman was simple, but Wan Liang's heart sank to the bottom.
He carefully observed Qin Qingman's words and actions. From the time they met until now, Qin Qingman had never called them, and this had already shown Qin Qingman's true attitude.
It seems that today might be the last time I enter the Qin family.
Wan Liang sighed deeply in his heart, he really didn't expect things to come to this point. Why didn't he see that Qin Qingman would change a lot after growing up and would be able to turn things around one day? If he had known that, why would he block the way out?
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
There was a large population in Kaoshan Village, and the houses in the village were not built early, so it took the group a long time to reach the Qin family.
The Qin family is still the same Qin family as before, and outwardly there is no change at all.
After entering the door, Wan Liang and his friends saw the sheep pen.
Looking at the pile of coal on one side of the sheepfold and the two sheep on the other side, the whole family was envious, especially of the wide pipe.
Wan Mingxi and his wife and Wan Lin may not know what this thing is, but Wan Liang has seen it when he went to the provincial capital with Wu Yuanming.
This is the heating duct.
Only people in big cities can use it. I didn't expect that the remote Qin family actually installed heating pipes. These heating pipes were not even installed for people, but for two sheep.
At this moment Wan Liang became even more wary of Qin Qingman.
Not everyone can afford to use heating pipes. At least when he was with Wu Yuanming, he had never seen Wu Yuanming afford to use them.
The main reason is that this thing is hard to buy. In addition to having money and tickets, you also need connections.
Without connections, you can’t buy tickets even if you have money.
"Chu Chu." Qin Qingman pushed open the door of the hall, and called out before entering. The purpose was to remind Chu Chu that she was back, and also to excuse Chu Chu from the blame for sneaking out.
"sister."
Chuchu arrived home a little earlier than Qin Qingman.
The child had short legs and ran very fast. He was sweating as soon as he entered the door. Worried that Qin Qingman might see something, he quickly took off his clothes and wiped his face. He had just calmed down his panting.
Qin Qingman guessed that Chuchu had sneaked out of the house, so she took the Wan family on a detour.
The purpose is to give children enough time to prepare.
Chuchu actually heard the sound as soon as Qin Qingman entered the courtyard. Not only did she hear the sound, she also saw it from the window.
The child was surprised to see the Wan family.
Don't underestimate the child because he is actually smart and sensitive. He has long seen that Qin Qingman does not want to recognize the Wan family, otherwise he would not have gone to the farm to slap this family in the face.
"Chuchu, take Dudu to the west room to play, and remember to add some coal to the stove."
Qin Qingman sent Chuchu away. She didn't plan to talk about some overly adult topics in front of the child, nor did she want the child to feel that the world was not beautiful enough.
"oh."
Chu Chu obediently carried the wolf cub on the ground back to the west room.
The wolf cub had just gone out to get some fresh air, and before he had enough fun he was brought back by Chuchu. He was getting angry with Chuchu at the moment, and when he saw Chuchu coming to hug him again, the little guy ran to Qin Qingman and started to pull her legs.
This is for Qin Qingman to hold.
"Oh, what a beautiful puppy."
It was the first time that Wan Lin saw such a chubby wolf cub. Seeing how pretty and cute the wolf cub was, he couldn't help but extend his hand.
"Don't touch me, Dudu doesn't like being touched."
A clear reminder sounded.
Qin Qingman also naturally bent down and held the wolf cub in her arms. She reached out and touched the wolf cub's head, and soothed him: "Dudu, go back to the house with Chuchu to play. I will make you something delicious later."
After saying that, he stuffed the wolf cub into Chu Chu's arms.
Qin Qingman put the wolf cub into Chu Chu's arms, so it didn't make any more trouble, but the look it gave Wan Lin was full of dissatisfaction.
All things have spirits, and the wolf cub immediately realized that Wan Lin had ill intentions.
Qin Qingman saw Chuchu bringing Dudu back to the west room before she invited Wan Mingxi and his family to sit down. After they entered the room, they hadn't fallen out yet, so she couldn't refuse them a seat, otherwise it would seem that she had no magnanimity at all.
However, there are seats but no hot water.
Qin Qingman didn't plan to stay with the Wan family for long, she wanted to end the battle quickly.
Just as Qin Qingman was thinking about how to start the conversation, Wan Lin's eyes were constantly looking at the Qin family.
The Qin family at this time was no different from the Qin family that had been here before.
The only difference is that there are a few more things.
For example, there is an extra set of toiletries.
Wan Lin guessed that it might belong to Qin Qingman, the mysterious man.
With curiosity, Wan Lin looked at the Qin family unceremoniously. All her reactions were seen by Qin Qingman, who didn't like it very much.
Wan Lin's behavior is obviously uncultured.
"Cousin, why haven't you cooked yet?" Just when Qin Qingman was becoming more and more displeased with Wan Lin, Wan Lin suddenly said this.
Qin Qingman smiled in response, "I've already had dinner at home."
Wan Lin and the others were dumbfounded. They had gone out early in the morning and were now tired and hungry. They thought they could have a meal after entering the Qin family, but they didn't expect that the Qin family had already had their meal.
What should I do?
You can't ask Qin Qingman to cook for them.
The Wan family members who came to the door at dinner time were worried and their faces did not look good.
"Cousin, we are hungry, you..." Wan Lin was used to being a spoiled child at home, and she couldn't help but use the same trick at the Qin family.
After hearing Wan Lin's words, Wan Liang and Wan Mingxi's faces changed.
They saw with their own eyes how Qin Qingman dealt with Wu Yuanming. It can be said that Qin Qingman had made a great contribution to Wu Yuanming's current situation. They thought they could not compare to Wu Yuanming, so how could they dare to trouble Qin Qingman to cook for them.
"Linlin, shut up."
First, Wan Liang scolded Wan Lin.
Wan Mingxi and Xu Lianhua also glanced at the ignorant Wan Lin and said to Qin Qingman, "Qingman, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. We ate before we left. We are not hungry, not yet."
Qin Qingman had not originally planned to cook for them. Seeing that Wan Mingxi and Xu Lianhua were quite reasonable, she nodded slightly and said, "Let's get straight to the point. What do you want to talk to me about?"
She didn't want to waste any more time.
Wan Lin was stopped from speaking by her family and rolled her eyes in anger.
But Wan Liang had a lot of say in the Wan family, and she was indeed a little afraid of Wan Liang. In the end, she said nothing, but just looked at the Qin family and curled her lips slightly.
No matter how well Xu Lianhua praised Qin Qingman's man before, she now felt how bad Wei Ling was.
If people were really as good as Xu Lianhua and the others said, shouldn't the Qin family have changed a lot? How come everything inside and outside the home is still the same as it was more than a year ago? It doesn't look like they are living a good life at all.
The only changes might be the coal and the strange pipes in the utility room outside.
Guan Zi Wanlin doesn't look good, but so much coal is still enviable.
Being able to burn coal freely for heating in the middle of winter is not something that most people can do.
Wan Lin felt the warmth of the Qin family. While Qin Qingman was talking to Wan Mingxi and the others, she stood up and strolled around the Qin family.
The first place she visited was the East Room.
Wan Lin thought that if Qin Qingman had something valuable when she got married, it must be placed in the room. She went to see what valuable dowry Qin Qingman got when she got married.
Wan Liang was talking to Qin Qing and let Wan Lin into the east room of the Qin family without noticing.
"Cousin, we came here today to let you..." As soon as Wan Liang opened his mouth, Wan Lin made a mistake. His face immediately turned red with anger, and he looked at Qin Qingman with an apologetic look, "Cousin, I'm sorry, we didn't educate Lin Lin well."
After Wan Liang said this, he looked at Xu Lianhua.
This was a signal for Xu Lianhua to take Wan Lin out of the Qin family's east room.
"I... I'll go right away." Xu Lianhua's face flushed with embarrassment. She didn't expect that she had talked to Wan Lin about this matter fine before, but this damn girl didn't know how to behave after entering the Qin family and ended up causing trouble for them.
The reason why Qin Qingman was unwilling to help this time was because of Wan Lin. She would deal with that dead girl when she returned.
Compared with his own and his son's future, if the daughter is obedient, he will raise her as a spoiled child. If she is not obedient, he will just pretend that he does not have this daughter.
Xu Lianhua walked into the east room of the Qin family with a fierce face and grabbed Wan Lin's hand.
"mother?"
Wan Lin looked at Xu Lianhua in surprise.
"How many times have I told you that we came to the Qin family to beg for help? Not only do we have to bow our heads and beg, but if you want to live a good life in the future you have to obey me. Why do you still do whatever you want? Is this our home? Do you know the etiquette? Do you want to be criticized for having no manners?"
Xu Lianhua was almost pissed off at Wan Lin, so she spoke very clearly.
"Mom, isn't this my aunt's house? Do I need to be so particular when I'm at my aunt's house?" Wan Lin was surprised and dissatisfied.
Xu Lianhua looked at Wan Lin seriously and lowered her voice, "Your aunt is gone. This family's surname is Qin, and Qin Qingman is the head of the family."
"All right."
Wan Lin curled her lips and left the east room.
The east room was empty, with nothing in it except a set of bedding on the kang, but she didn't even like it.
It seems that the Qin family is not as good as my parents said. Maybe Qin Qingman is deliberately pretending to be powerful to deceive people.
As soon as Wan Lin came out of the east room, she went straight to the living room door, leaving behind a sentence, "I'm going to the toilet." No one would care if she went to the toilet.
"I'll accompany Linlin." Xu Lianhua knew that it was pointless for her to stay, so she simply kept a close eye on Wan Lin, fearing that Wan Lin would make trouble again.
Qin Qingman glanced at Xu Lianhua and Wan Lin calmly, and her eyes stopped on Wan Liang's face, "Continue."
She has to understand the other party's requirements before she can speak clearly.
"Cousin, our family is having a hard time on the farm right now. Can you give us a hand?" Wan Liang took out a stack of money and bills from his pocket and handed them to Qin Qingman. He came here to use Qin Qingman's connections.
Qin Qingman looked at the pile of money and bills handed to her and smiled.
Then he took it over naturally, "I remember when your mother asked me for work targets, she told me to buy it when you have money."
Wan Liang looked at Qin Qingman, who was not even slightly exposed, with a bitter face, but he had to say: "Yes, we did tell you to buy it at the beginning."
"How much do you earn a month?" Qin Qingman asked Wan Liang.
"Thirty-six pieces." Wan Liang did not dare to hide it.
"You have been taking work quotas from me for more than a year. The market price of work quotas was 400 yuan. I won't ask for more from you today. I will only take 400 yuan. The rest is your own labor income."
Qin Qingman counted out four hundred from the stack of money and put it in her pocket, and handed the rest to Wan Liang.
She would not give anyone any excuse for slander.
"Cousin, I..." What Wan Liang wanted most was Wei Ling's help and he wanted to borrow Wei Ling's power.
Qin Qingman interrupted the other party directly, "We can't help. The military doesn't interfere in local affairs. I have no power and no influence, and no one will listen to me."
