When Qian Sheng returned home in a huff, only Qian Duoduo was there. Qian Sheng took a sip of water and asked, "Old lady, where are your mother and the others?"
Qian Duoduo said, "My mother and fourth sister-in-law went to the tofu shop together. Yuzhu is going to school, and the tofu shop is short-staffed, so fourth sister-in-law went to work there!"
Qian Sheng nodded, sighed, and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). Leaning against the kang cabinet, he reached out and instinctively touched the cabinet, but couldn't find his tobacco basket. He sat up straight and saw that it was on the table next to him. He stood up to get the basket.
Seeing him rolling a cigarette, Qian Duoduo asked, "Dad, is Zhou Lina's matter difficult to handle?"
Qian Sheng shook his head and said, "Whether it's difficult or not depends on Zhou Zhiqing herself. If she were a strong person, it wouldn't be difficult. But it seems that she's also weak. When her mother cries and wailes, she's helpless and can only stand aside and look at Sanzhuzi with a wronged expression."
Qian Duoduo thought of Zhou Lina and realized it was fortunate she hadn't married into the family; otherwise, she would have been in a terrible situation. She asked, "What was Sanzhuzi thinking?"
Qian Sheng snorted: "Sanzhuzi said that his family is so poor that all that's left is people. He has no money, but he can take her life. He and Zhou Lina are married. If her mother dares to take her away, he will go to the police station to report her for human trafficking and send her to jail."
Qian Duoduo laughed: "This Sanzhuzi is still a bit of a blockhead!"
Qian Sheng sighed and said, "Sanzhuzi's family was poor. They had been farmers for three generations. When it came to his father's time, there was a crop failure. He was so hungry that he fell ill and didn't make it. Children without fathers have to learn to be independent early. Just when things were getting a little better, his mother also fell ill. They emptied their savings but still couldn't keep him alive."
Even if he were incredibly capable, no family with daughters would want to marry him to someone so poor!
Qian Duoduo nodded. She had only approached him because he was a good person and not a fool. From what he did after rescuing Zhou Lina, it was clear that Liu Sanzhu was quite clever.
Qian Sheng continued, "When Zhou Zhiqing's mother heard Sanzhuzi's words, she started crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. She was clearly unreasonable. She even called me over. Now I think I was just an extra person, and I only got myself into a lot of trouble!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and made Qian Sheng a cup of tea, placed it beside him, watched him take a sip, and said, "Sanzhuzi only has one brother, and now he has a child. He is also someone who can control Zhou Lina. No matter how much her mother makes a fuss, she has no right to complain now."
Zhou Zhiqing's household registration is already on Sanzhuzi's household registration book. Even if she takes him away, she can't remarry; that's bigamy, which is a crime punishable by imprisonment. And not only will Zhou Lina go to jail, but she will too.
Qian Sheng looked at Qian Duoduo and said, "Really?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
Qian Sheng put the basket aside, stood up and said, "I'm going to Old Liu's house."
Qian Duoduo watched Qian Sheng leave quickly and smiled. "Zhou Lina, it won't be easy for you to leave!"
Not long after, Qian Sheng returned in a cheerful mood, followed by Jin Jinxiu carrying Qian Yibo, Qian Rao and his wife, and Chen Runan carrying Qian Yufei.
Qian Duoduo stepped forward to take Qian Yufei from her second sister-in-law's hand. At this time, little Yufei had already begun to recognize people. When she saw Qian Duoduo's outstretched hand, she immediately opened her little hand, revealing two little white teeth: "Dudu, dudu."
Qian Duoduo smiled and hugged her, saying, "Feifei, I'm your aunt, not Dudu."
But Qian Yufei kept calling out "dudu, dudu," drooling all over Qian Duoduo's face.
Everyone laughed at the sight.
Chen Runan asked with a smile, "Have you packed all your things?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Everything is packed. Dad has also taken care of my household registration. I can leave when my third brother comes back to pick me up!"
Jin Jinxiu handed everything to Wen Yugui and said, "Shouldn't we also bring bedding and such?"
Qian Duoduo asked, "Should we bring this?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "Take them with you. Have your third and fourth brothers take you. Let them carry all your things!" Then she smiled and said to Qian Duoduo, "Just don't lose your acceptance letter!"
Qian Duoduo smiled: "Okay, my mom loves me so much, I'll definitely take good care of myself!"
Qian Rao and Qian Mao, who had just entered the house and were immediately given tasks by their mother, could only nod and say, "Mother, we will definitely take good care of our sister."
Jin Jinxiu said, "Third brother, now that you're working in the provincial capital, visit Duoduo often. If she needs anything, you can help her out."
Qian Mao: "I understand, Mom. Once I've settled things at work in the provincial capital, I'll give Duo Duo my office phone number. She can call me anytime, whether it's important or not!"
Jin Jinxiu was satisfied with her third son's answer. She said, "Fortunately, you and Qian Xiang's wife are in the same school, so you can take care of each other. Especially since Guo Ni knows kung fu, she can protect you!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I've learned some things from my sister-in-law, so I'm not afraid!"
Jin Jinxiu: "How can someone as mediocre as you be as skilled as someone who's been training since birth?"
Qian Duoduo: Mom, thank you so much!
The next day, Liu Yuan and the others saw Qian Sheng's family at the oxcart. Except for Wen Yugui, who was looking after the child, everyone else from Qian Sheng's family had come. Qian Cai's family, except for Qian Yin's family who were not in Beian Village, and Zhen Qiao, who was not very willing to get up so early and had taken on the job of looking after the child, were all standing at the village entrance. This time, a lot of people were leaving, not only the two college students from the Qian family, but also other educated youth from the village who were leaving and students who had been admitted to various schools.
