After dinner, the family sat down in the living room. The two children were held in Grandpa Qin's arms, one on the left and the other on the right. You kick me and I kick you. Grandpa Qin had to separate the two children a little.
Qin Yuandong took one. The two little ones looked basically identical, replicas of Qin Xiao. Although he was told which one was the older and which one was the younger at the beginning, he couldn't tell them apart in a moment because they hadn't lived together for a long time.
"Dad, is this the one I'm holding Zhenzhen or Zhizhi?"
Before Qin Yuandong finished speaking, Zhizhi didn't know what made him dislike it, so he slapped Qin Yuandong in the face with his backhand. With a snap, Qin Yuandong raised his face and said, "Good boy, this hand is too strong!"
Old Master Qin glanced at the eldest son who was steady in his arms and said, "The one you are holding is the second son."
Qin Xinyao was very impatient and glanced at Zhizhi with a sinister look, "Grandpa, what do you think?"
Old Master Qin was completely enraged. "Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. The Qin family has spent a lot of money and energy on you since you grew up. I won't talk about these. This is what we, as elders, should do.
My Qin family raises children for the country. As long as they are willing to serve the country, whether they are filial to their elders or not is not a big deal. Chang Suo and Xiao, as well as Chang Song and Chang Bai, are examples of this."
Qin Yuandong lowered his head. He was the eldest son of the family, but it was obvious that both of his children had brought shame to the Qin family.
"I shouldn't have objected to Changqing's desire to pursue art. But under the current circumstances, this path is difficult to pursue. If you're not careful, you could end up putting your whole family in jeopardy. Life is a long journey, and everyone wants to do what they love, but the conditions aren't there right now.
The people of the country can’t even get enough to eat, so the first thing everyone should do is to respond to the call and devote themselves to national construction…”
Qin Xinyao glanced at Ji Xia sideways, and said sarcastically, "Grandpa, since everyone should be involved in national development, why do some people still stay at home and eat idle meals?"
Old Master Qin's eyes were sharp. "Who are the people you are talking about?"
Qin Xinyao felt that Ji Xia, a village girl, could become the mistress of the Qin family just because she gave birth to twin sons.
She pointed at Ji Xia and said, "Grandpa, isn't she?"
Qin Yuandong looked at Qin Xinyao angrily, "Xinyao, you disappoint me so much."
Qin Xinyao snorted, "We're all from the countryside, so why should she be recognized by you?"
Why not Xiang Ming?
Ji Xia finished thinking about what she was thinking.
Qin Yuandong was about to say something, but the old man waved his hand and said, "Changqing, what are your plans?"
Qin Changqing was silent for a while, "Grandpa, I am willing to obey your arrangements."
Old Master Qin nodded and looked at Qin Xinyao. "Xinyao, I mean what I say. Since you're unwilling to give up, I won't be the bad guy. I'm willing to help you. Tomorrow, you can publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with my Qin family. After that, whether you live or die, we won't interfere with you."
Xiao Yaling covered her face and cried, her voice was suppressed, but it made her seem particularly sad.
Qin Yuandong also hated him for not fighting back, his face turned ashen, but he had always doted on his children, and even at this point, he couldn't say a single harsh word.
"Okay!" Qin Xinyao felt a sense of relief. "I told my mom how much dowry my family planned to give me. I want to split my parents' property with my brother. Give me all of this and I'll leave immediately!"
Ji Xia took the child from Qin Yuandong because she saw her uncle trembling with anger and she was afraid that her son would fall to the ground.
Old Master Qin was calm. "I, Qin Shuo, have lived an upright life. I have nothing to lose and no money to spare. Even if I manage to save a few cents in the future, I will give them to the state. As for your parents, I have no say in that."
Qin Yuandong was heartbroken and speechless. In addition, Xiao Yaling had the final say on all family matters, so he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Xiao Yaling cried, "You're dreaming! I wish I had never given birth to you. You rebellious girl, you have no conscience!"
Qin Xinyao was also furious. "How can I be so heartless? It's a new society now, and you still want to force a marriage. Don't you just dislike him because he's a landlord's son? Doesn't the country have laws that forbid landlords' sons from getting married?"
You just want to keep your position, since you are so afraid, but what about her? She is the child of a capitalist! But grandpa helped her to save her grandparents. "
Qin Xinyao pointed at Ji Xia and cried and yelled.
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Yuandong deeply. He didn't expect that Qin Yuandong actually said all these words to Qin Xinyao.
"First, my father was replaced by Liu Jingui at birth. Precisely because my father was not Liu Jingui's son, he was abused since childhood, and we never enjoyed any benefits from the capitalists.
Second, Ji Youlan and his elders were originally red capitalists who supported the revolution. Many members of their family sacrificed their lives for the cause of liberation. They were not saved by anyone, but by national policy!
Old Master Qin glanced at Ji Xia with admiration. "If you're stupid, learn more from smart people. Talk less and do more to avoid making mistakes. I understand that good people come in all shapes and sizes, but I didn't expect you to be so fundamentally bad."
You said your sister-in-law stayed home and ate for free. That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Honestly, if you had even one percent of her ability, I wouldn't stop you even if you went to heaven. A person's freedom of choice is directly related to their ability!
Qin Xinyao had nothing to say and could only sob.
Xiao Yaling wanted to fight for her daughter, after all, she was the one who came out of her belly. "Dad, Xia Xia suggested that Xinyao go to the countryside to join the production team."
Old Master Qin shook his head, seeming tired. "If she wants to go to the countryside, she should sign up herself. The Qin family won't spend a cent on her. If you, as parents, feel bad for her, I don't care. Tomorrow, you should move out. Yuandong's work unit should be able to allocate housing."
Ji Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to live with so many people. It was too noisy.
Qin Yuandong and his family went up to the third floor. Old Man Qin asked Ji Xia, "I heard you submitted the project plan?"
"Yes, Grandpa, Wei Zhenguo is here, and we had a chat. He's a very good person, and it would be very relaxing for me to have him help coordinate and assist me."
"That's good!" A smile appeared on Old Master Qin's face. "I heard that your project cost quite a bit?"
Ji Xia rubbed the sofa under his hand and hesitated, "Grandpa, the country must make money. Is it possible that our current weapons and equipment will definitely be eliminated? Have you thought about how to deal with them?"
Mr. Qin's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"
"Grandpa, the Kingdom of Yue is at war. We can sell them our unwanted weapons. This is also a way to support them."
China's construction speed is not slow, and its existing industrial base is not weak. Several production lines have been replicated, and a new generation of tanks, guns, ammunition and fighter jets are continuously produced to equip China's army.
In fact, some of the previous reserves can be consumed.
Selling weapons to countries at war and making money from arms sales is a common trick played by the United States. It can consume obsolete stocks and kill two birds with one stone.
