Lu Zhiye had something on his mind and didn't want to chat with him. He drove the tractor quickly towards Dali Village.
When the car arrived at Dali Village, we saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the pear orchard, and could faintly hear the crying of an old woman.
Lu Zhiye's heart skipped a beat. He quickly parked the car and squeezed into the crowd.
What I saw was an old woman with triangular eyes sitting on the ground crying, "I can't live any longer, my granddaughter was touched by a man.
Now the in-laws who were promised to marry are no longer willing to do so. This makes it impossible for me to survive......"
There was also a square-faced woman standing next to her, holding her headscarf and crying, “Yes, my niece is an innocent girl.
Now, now... at this point, you are unwilling to take responsibility.
She might as well just die..."
As the woman spoke, she reached out to push the little girl next to her, and Qiao Qianqian was pushed to the ground by her aunt.
His arms were exposed, and the bruises on them made people gasp.
Square-faced woman: I didn’t use much strength…
A smile slowly formed on Qiao Qianqian's little face as she lay on her arms, and then she became like a frightened rabbit.
She held her head in her hands and said, "Wuwu, please don't hit me, Auntie. I will eat less and work more. Please don't marry me to the old bachelor from your mother's family.
I don’t want anything my parents left me, please don’t hit me.”
When Qiao Qianqian said this, the whole room was in an uproar.
"What do you mean? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family is so unkind?"
"That's right, that's right. Qianqian was plump and fair when she was young. After her parents died, look at how thin she has become."
"Who said it wasn't? Can we let Old Qiao's wife take away the things left by their parents?
Why don't you take good care of the girl?"
Everyone was talking at once, and the square-faced Aunt Qiao blushed with embarrassment.
She straightened her back and said with her neck stiff, "When this child grows up, he will have to spend money. A set of clothes must cost one or two dollars."
Seeing that everyone was about to nod in agreement, Qiao Qianqian awkwardly tugged at the clothes that she had patched again and again and were now too short.
Fang Shijie and Lu Zhiye looked at each other, and he still didn't understand what was going on.
But every move of the girl just now was seen by both of them.
Fang Shijie: Did this girl do this on purpose?
Lu Zhiye: You are not stupid.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Old Qiao, what's the matter with Qianqian talking about getting married?"
The square-faced woman looked fierce and scolded, "What is this? I am her aunt and I am trying to find her a marriage partner out of kindness.
She, on the other hand, despised the man because he was an old bachelor and was unwilling to do it.
Tell me, is it easy for me? Nowadays, everyone is not getting enough to eat, but the old bachelor's family has surplus food, so she won't have to worry about food and drink if she marries him.
What's wrong with this? Now it's better, people don't like it when they are touched. Now the young man is not willing to take responsibility.
Isn’t this a sin?”
She spoke in a domineering manner, as if she had done something great.
Qiao Qianqian's eyes were even colder, and she couldn't help but say, "Such a great thing, why don't you let your daughter marry him?
It also saves me from not having enough to eat every day.”
The square-faced woman got anxious when she heard this and reached out to hit Qiao Qianqian: "How dare you talk back, you bitch! What are you talking about here?
Now that people don't want to marry you, you can just wait to die at home!"
Although she said this, everyone knew that Qiao Qianqian might end up marrying someone who was divorced.
It’s okay for them to say a few words while watching the fun, but how to educate their children is their own business.
The old woman sitting on the ground stopped crying at this time. She stood up, pointed at Lu Yong and shouted: "If you don't take responsibility, my granddaughter won't be able to get married. It's better to hang yourself with a rope and put an end to it all."
As she spoke, she pulled Qiao Qianqian towards home, and her posture really looked like she was going to hang her.
Lu Chuan patted Lu Yong, who was panting heavily, and walked straight forward.
"I am his elder brother, and you should come to me for all matters. Please tell me the whole story.
Our family can also see what we should do about this matter?"
The old woman's eyes rolled and she immediately pulled a little boy out.
"Goudan, tell me everything you saw."
Goudan usually runs around the village. Even at his age, he doesn't go to work with his family. Even though so many people are watching him, he is not nervous.
He held his head high and told everything he had seen.
Qiao Qianqian lowered her head and shed tears, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief where no one noticed.
The captain looked at the increasing number of people gathered at the entrance of the Pear Garden and shouted impatiently, "Alright, alright, this is how it is. Old Lu family, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Chuan thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Qiao Qianqian's weak voice: "Captain, in my current situation, it is impossible for me to marry into a good family.
I also can't let my savior feel disappointed for nothing.
Now I just want to live on my own, so as not to bring shame to the Qiao family."
Her words were like a bombshell, not only making the surroundings silent, but also causing Lu Zhiye and Fang Shijie to have flashes of surprise in their eyes.
Lu Chuan set his eyes on Qiao Qianqian and looked at the girl again.
Seeing that the people from the old Qiao family started to quarrel again because of Qiao Qianqian's words, Lu Zhiye pulled Fang Shijie and squeezed towards Lu Yong.
Lu Chuan called a few people aside and looked at Lu Yong seriously: "What do you think about this matter?"
Lu Yong's eyes flickered again and again. From Qiao Qianqian's words just now, he realized that he was being used as a stepping stone by Qiao Qianqian!
To be precise, Qiao Qianqian wanted to completely separate from the Qiao family through this incident.
Lu Yong did not miss what Qiao Qianqian was saying, and the look he gave him was full of apology in his eyes.
Haha, you took advantage of him and yet he still wants to run away? That’s wishful thinking.
Lu Yong put the tip of his tongue against his cheek and said nothing. After a long time, his silly expression returned to his face.
He looked at Lu Chuan with some frustration: "Brother, what should I do? I don't know.
If I don't marry her, that old hag will say that I will have to hang her with a rope, right?"
Lu Chuan glared at him and said, "Do you think you can trust someone's threats?
The girl just now also said that you don’t need to be responsible. In my opinion, we should load the pears and leave quickly.
Do you think this family is easy to mess with?"
Lu Yong curled his lips and muttered quietly: "I can't be so irresponsible, right?"
Lu Zhiye's eyes were full of interest: What does that mean? Lu Yong is still concerned about it?
That would have nothing to do with him. On the contrary, Lu Zhiye thought it was pretty good.
Qiao Qianqian is smart and good at planning, which matches well with the stupid Lu Yong.
