"You don't care about your daughter's reputation at all. Ah, that's right. Her reputation is ruined, so nothing else matters."
"Don't be impatient!" Seeing Wu Ju was about to get up and argue with her, Qiu Yinong raised her hand to stop her from saying anything.
"You said my family didn't honor the marriage contract, so may I ask, did my mother give you any token of love?"
After Qiu Yinong said this, Wu Ju was a little at a loss.
"Dang, your family was so poor back then, how could your mother have such a keepsake?"
"Oh? I remember my eldest brother had a small silver lock. Isn't this enough as a keepsake?"
"Well, your mother didn't say that." Wu Ju was still arguing.
Qiu Yinong nodded and said, "Okay, that makes sense. Then let me ask you again, without a token of trust, have you ever exchanged engagement letters?"
"No, no!" Wu Ju opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but after realizing that there was no way, she could only admit it.
"First, there's no token of love, and second, no engagement letter has been exchanged. How can you say my family isn't honoring the engagement?"
"If you continue like this, I can go to the county government and sue you for slander." Qiu Yinong stared at Wu Ju coldly.
When Fu Yinhua saw that her mother was no match for Qiu Yinong, she rushed to the door without caring about her face.
"Now that I'm in your house, you naturally have to be responsible for us. You have to marry me whether you want to or not."
"Oh, are you so eager to get married?" Qiu Yinong asked with a sneer.
Fu Yinhua glared at her: "Your elder brother hasn't even met me yet, how do you know he doesn't want me?"
"Are you a worm in my stomach, or are you a fairy in heaven? Are you so sure that I like you?"
Qiu Hansheng, who had rushed back from the guesthouse, spoke with a grim expression.
I didn't expect that such a great person would come to my house.
Fu Yinhua looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qiu Hansheng, such a handsome scholar, and her heart became more determined.
"I'm good-looking, why don't you like me?"
Qiu Hansheng was amused by this: "Yes, yes, you are as beautiful as a fairy. I, a mortal, am not worthy of you."
"So please go back to your heavenly palace!" Before Fu Yinhua could be happy, she heard Qiu Hansheng's next sentence and her face suddenly turned dark.
Fu Yinhua stared with tears streaming down her face: "Why, why can't you see my good side?"
"I'm so good-looking, why don't you want me? Why..."
When Wu Ju saw her crying like this, she felt distressed: "Oh, Hua'er, don't cry, don't cry, isn't it just that the family suddenly got some dirty money?"
"We don't want them. Mom will find you a better one. Let's go. We don't want to stay in Taohua Village anymore."
"Bah, Fang Yunxiang, I, Wu Ju, will remember today's grudge. When my daughter becomes that man's superior in the future, don't try to climb up to her again."
Wu Ju uttered some harsh words and left angrily with her daughter.
Qiu's mother and her group were speechless. Where did she get her confidence from? How could she ever climb up to her level in the future?
Didn't she bring her daughter here for no apparent reason, trying to force her into her family?
"Let's all go."
Someone spoke up, but everyone treated it as a joke and didn't take it to heart.
Everyone went their separate ways and went about their business.
Qiu Yinong helped Mother Qiu back to the tree. Mother Qiu sighed and said, "What's going on?"
"Mom, don't worry too much. I have five brothers. My third brother is going to pursue a career in politics. I'm afraid this kind of situation won't be uncommon."
"Don't worry, we will take care of everything." Hearing her daughter's comfort, Mother Qiu clapped her hands and laughed.
"Okay, I don't care about anything. Our Yi'er is smart and can judge people well. I don't worry about you helping me watch over her."
After saying that, Mother Qiu continued, "What kind of betrothal gift should we prepare for Miss Mo?"
"Mom, don't worry, we have our daughter." Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Mother Qiu pinched her cheek lovingly and said, "Okay, then I'll just be the boss."
"There's one more thing. I bought a shop today, so we're really going to be busy from now on."
Mother Qiu asked in confusion, "Don't we already have an inn? Why are you buying a shop?"
"The inn also needs major changes. It's a remote place after all, so we'll have to find some skilled people to do it."
"Of course, the previous events may not always happen, but it is always appropriate to find some skilled people."
"Yes, that's true." Mother Qiu nodded in agreement.
Qiu Hansheng came out of the room, having changed into dry clothes.
I was busy at the guesthouse all morning and my clothes were already soaked and sticky to my body, making me feel uncomfortable. It was a good opportunity to change them when I got back.
"Mom, sister, what are you talking about?" Qiu Hansheng walked over and poured himself a cup of tea.
Mother Qiu looked at him with a smile: "Talking about your marriage."
"Puff..." The water that Qiu Hansheng had just drunk sprayed out instantly, and he looked at Qiu's mother in horror.
"Mom, you don't really want me to marry that woman just now, do you?"
Seeing him like this, Mother Qiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Mom, I think Fu Yinhua is actually quite good-looking."
"Mom, stop teasing your son!" Qiu Hansheng stood up in fear and took several steps back.
Qiu Yinong couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing his big reaction, Qiu's mother was also amused: "Okay, okay, sit down, I have something serious to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Qiu Hansheng sat down, put down his teacup, and looked at Qiu's mother and the other person.
Mother Qiu glanced at Qiu Yinong and then asked, "Did you meet anyone when you went to Li's Embroidery Workshop last time?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Hansheng's cheeks turned red.
A beautiful figure appeared in his mind, Qiu Yinong had a smile in her eyes, and Qiu's mother also smiled happily.
It seemed Yi'er had made the right decision for him. Qiu Hansheng hummed, and Qiu Yinong took over the conversation: "Auntie Mo told me today that Sister Mo also likes you."
"If big brother has no objection, this marriage is settled."
Qiu Hansheng's ears turned red: "It's up to mom to decide."
"Your sister and Shopkeeper Mo have already agreed on a date for this month, the 25th. If you have no objection, we can get ready."
"My sister has excellent taste. Miss Mo is gentle, beautiful, and treats people with reason and logic. My son likes her."
Although Qiu Hansheng's face turned red to the back of his ears, he still generously admitted his feelings since it concerned his future happiness.
Seeing this, Qiu's mother felt relieved.
"Okay then. Then mother and your sister will start making arrangements."
"Okay." Qiu Hansheng responded, then felt embarrassed, said he had something else to do, and hurriedly left home.
Qiu Yinong also got up and went to Qiu Hanyan's room, where she drew a set of headwear patterns.
I'll find a silver shop and build it as one of the betrothal gifts.
In the following days, Qiu Yinong was busy preparing the betrothal gifts for her elder brother and also taking care of the restaurant.
She asked the foreman to fence off the outside of the teahouse to create a mysterious atmosphere.
Many people in the town have begun to wonder what this teahouse is all about.
