"That's what the neighbors all say."
Qin Xiang grew increasingly angry.
Who exactly leaked this information?
Could it be Jiang Yue again?
Jiang Yue, you are truly ruthless.
Qin Xiang knew that her parents had come for the money and the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three-wheeled bicycles and a radio), and that if she didn't give them the money, they would definitely make a scene.
If her uncle were here, he could keep her parents in check, but now that he's been arrested, she doesn't know who to ask for help.
"Qin Xiang, you don't want to acknowledge us, do you? Don't think you're so great just because you're a regular employee of the cultural troupe now. If you dare to disown your parents, we'll report you to the leaders."
Qin Xiang was so angry when she heard her brother's words that her face almost twisted in anger.
Qin Zhi was certain that she wouldn't dare to escalate the situation, which is why he threatened her like that.
"Go ahead and make a scene. If you make a big fuss, I won't give you a single penny. At that point, I'll just leave, and you won't be able to find me."
The news that Qin Xiang's parents had come and even had a fight with Qin Xiang quickly reached Jiang Yue's ears.
Jiang Yue was chatting with Yang Hong and a few others when she heard about this, and she was very surprised.
"Qin Xiang's parents are here? Aren't they working in Beijing? What are they doing here?"
Jiang Yue was obviously faking it.
"I heard that Qin Xiang's family doesn't live in a military compound at all; her parents are just ordinary workers."
"I also heard that Qin Xiang's parents came here this time to ask for Qin Xiang's betrothal gifts. That Battalion Commander Zhu gave them five hundred yuan as betrothal gifts."
The women shared the news they had heard.
A sister-in-law asked Jiang Yue.
"Comrade Jiang, you are Qin Xiang's high school classmate. Don't you know about Qin Xiang's family situation?"
Jiang Yue shook her head.
"I don't know."
Hearing Jiang Yue say this, the sister-in-law was somewhat disappointed. She had hoped to hear some inside information from Jiang Yue.
When Battalion Commander Zhu returned to the family compound, he saw many people looking at him, some of them whispering something.
He had a bad feeling. Could it be that the Wu family had come again? Otherwise, why were they looking at him like that?
When they got home, opened the door, and saw three strangers, Battalion Commander Zhu spoke.
Who are you?
Qin Ma looked at Battalion Commander Zhu and frowned.
He's of average appearance, except for being tall and having somewhat dark skin. I heard he's been married before, and marrying his own daughter is really a case of him marrying above his station.
"Are you Zhu Guoqiang?"
"I am, and who are you?"
Seeing the scrutinizing looks on their faces, Battalion Commander Zhu guessed who these people were.
Qin's parents were dressed quite well, wearing the most fashionable clothes in Beijing at the time, which were also the clothes they usually wore to make a good impression when they went out. Qin Zhi, on the other hand, was wearing a leather jacket and leather shoes, and his hair was slicked back with hair oil.
“We are Qin Xiang’s parents.”
Upon hearing that they were Qin Xiang's parents, Battalion Commander Zhu smiled.
"Hello, Mom and Dad."
Qin's father looked at Battalion Commander Zhu, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
"Don't call us that. We've never acknowledged you as our son-in-law."
Upon hearing Qin's father's words, Battalion Commander Zhu's smile froze.
Didn't Xiang'er say that her parents agreed to their relationship?
Could it be that you feel your manners weren't up to par, and that's why you're angry?
Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Zhu added.
"Mom and Dad, please don't be angry. I was wrong before. I should have gone to the capital to visit you first, but I was just too busy with other things. That's why I was delayed."
