He Qinqin got off work early today. When she got home, she didn't see her mother. Seeing her father's panicked expression, she felt something was wrong. After asking, she found out that her mother had gone to Su's house. She hurried over but still arrived a step too late.
Many people heard the noise coming from the Su family and came out to watch, with more and more people gathering.
"Mom, please come back with me." He Qinqin looked at He Shi with pleading eyes.
"Why go back?! Mother is fighting for your happiness!" He scolded her, then changed her face to a smile, "Come here quickly and talk to your uncle and aunt."
"Didn't you say before that you liked to join the army? Why can't you say it now?" He urged.
"Mom! Stop talking!" He Qinqin was extremely ashamed and angry.
"No, our Su family can't afford it. Even if we join the army, we won't be lucky enough to marry a wife from your family." Su Aiguo and Li Xiu Lian both looked unhappy.
These sarcastic words made He Qinqin's eyes fill with tears again. Li Xiu Lian was just glad that she was not at home because she was still in the army. Otherwise, seeing He Qinqin like this, she might really be softened and shaken.
It was difficult for people outside to get in, so they could only stretch their necks through the gate to look and start talking.
"What's going on? Who was that girl who just entered the Su family? Why does she look so unfamiliar?"
"They're not from our village, so of course they look unfamiliar."
"You know?"
"Of course, you forgot that Matchmaker Zhang is my great aunt. I heard her say that the girl should be from the He family of Changxiu Village."
"The girl from the He family? Oh, is she the one who got engaged to the Su family in the army?"
"Yes, that family, but the marriage between the two families was called off long ago."
"What? What's going on? Why are the He family coming again?"
"It was all thanks to the good work of the He family's mother. There was a half-paralyzed young man in their village who wanted to marry He Qinqin and offered a gift of 88 yuan. But Mrs. He was greedy for money and rejected the Su family's proposal."
"Is this He family stupid? He joined the army and now works in the city. He earned back 88 yuan in just a few months' salary."
"Who says it's not true? But the He family didn't know about it at the time, and now they're coming to the Su family. I think the He family must have known that Congjun was working in the city, and they want to save this marriage."
"Oh my goodness! The He family is so shameless! How dare they even come to our door? If I were the Su family, I would have chased them out with a broom long ago."
"Just wait and see, Aunt Wu is not someone you can easily get along with. The He family is just here to give her a slap in the face!"
A group of people were discussing when they saw Wu Guixiang wielding a broom with great vigor, cursing non-stop, "Get as far away from me as you can! If you dare to come to our Su family again, I'll beat you to death!"
He was hit by the broom several times and was in a mess. She could only walk outside. Seeing so many people surrounding her, He Qinqin wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
She took He's hand and dragged her out, "Mom, let's go back!"
"Who am I doing this for? It's all for you. Why don't you understand my good intentions?" He was still yelling.
After hearing what she said, He Qinqin suddenly shook her hand off, staring at her mother with red eyes and said, "You are not doing this for me, you are doing this just for your own good!"
"Hey, you damn girl!"
"Do you want me to explain this clearly?" He Qinqin, feeling completely numb and hopeless, said expressionlessly, "The Zhang family offered 88 yuan so you could let me marry into the Zhang family. Congjun is a worker in the city, and you're letting me marry into the Su family. What about the future? If someone richer comes along, will you force me to marry a few more times? Do you think I'm some precious thing? Do you think everyone should be vying to marry me?"
What she said fully revealed He's dark thoughts. He's face turned ferocious and he raised his hand to slap her.
Seeing that she was about to take action, everyone refused to comply.
"Hey, why are you hitting people?"
"This is our Luoshui Village, why are you showing off? Go back to your Changxiu Village!"
"Go quickly, or we'll call our captain!"
He was so annoyed that she put down her hand. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she didn't dare to act presumptuously anymore and could only leave behind He Qinqin in shame. Many people even spat at her from behind. What kind of person is she?
Wu Guixiang said to everyone, "Thank you all for what you did just now. Now let's go! Let's go!"
"It's okay! Aunt Wu, if you have any questions, just give them a call. I don't think they'll dare to come!"
"Okay, thank you everyone."
After the crowd dispersed, Su Qingyun leaned against the door frame, looking at the darkening sky in the distance, and sighed in his heart. He Qinqin was a good girl and sensible, but it was a pity that she had such parents. In this era, she was powerless to fight back and could only let her parents arrange things for her.
Qin Ying touched his daughter's head from behind, and said softly, "As long as the man our Yunyun wants to marry treats you well, your father and I can accept it."
Su Qingyun didn't say anything. She hugged her mother's waist and rubbed it.
Qin Ying held her daughter in her arms. Seeing He Qinqin's appearance, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The first half and the second half of her life seemed to be separated. In the first twenty years, she came from a good family, received an education, and lived a carefree life. After an accident, she came here, facing the earth.
But fortunately, she met Su Aimin, a man who tolerates, understands and cares for her. She has a lovely and beautiful daughter, and she is already content. She only hopes that her parents far away can be safe and happy. This is her biggest expectation now.
In the early morning, when Su Qingyun went out with her father, her grandmother was still muttering: "This third child, running outside every day, what is he busy with?"
