When Lu Chuan saw that his silly brother actually wanted to marry someone, he was immediately furious.
He felt that this time when he returned home, he would definitely need his father's shoes.
My good brother followed me out and came home covered in dirt.
On the other hand, the old lady of the Qiao family wished she could use an embroidery needle to sew up Qiao Qianqian's mouth.
The square-faced aunt looked even more constipated: "Qiao Qianqian, what are you talking about!
Have I, your aunt, ever treated you unfairly over the years?
I treat you as my own daughter. If you want to separate me from you now, it’s like cutting my heart with a knife…”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she almost fainted.
Qiao Qianqian quickly supported the person and pinched the square-faced aunt's philtrum with her thumb.
She was pinched so hard that her whole body was shaking. She couldn't even pretend to be unconscious anymore.
I originally thought that I could just brush aside what Qiao Qianqian mentioned in front of so many people, and then when I get home after a while, I’ll see how she’ll deal with this bitch!
But now I can only wake up abruptly.
Qiao Qianqian's exposed skin was very scary, and everyone around her was skeptical about what the square-faced aunt said.
Qiao Qianqian looked at the captain with tears in her eyes: "Captain, my parents wanted to protect our opera house.
I was just beaten to death by a thief. Now my reputation is completely ruined.
Please, for the sake of my deceased parents, let me move out and live on my own.
I...I really can't bear to burden my grandparents anymore."
When talking about Qiao Qianqian's parents, everyone sighed, thinking back to when they first planted the pear trees, the fruit was extremely sour.
It was Qiao Qianqian's parents who ran to the county to find a teacher, came back to clean up the mess, and finally saved the opera house.
From then on, the team leader specially allocated them a piece of land next to the pear orchard and assigned two people to guard it.
Who could have thought that a group of bandits could be so heartless that they beat two people to death just for stealing pears.
Qiao Qianqian, who was only eleven years old, was stuffed under the bed by her mother and escaped the disaster.
When this incident was mentioned, everyone looked at Old Lady Qiao and the square-faced woman with condemnation.
"Qianqian is such a poor child, look at all the bruises on her body.
Even when educating children, you shouldn’t hit them so harshly.”
"That's right, no wonder she wants to move out alone. This way, the Qiao family can't use her marriage to blackmail her."
Many villagers were talking at the same time, which made Old Mrs. Qiao's face darken.
But she is good at pretending, and usually pretends to be kind.
"Qianqian has been spoiled by us since she was young. This happened a while ago when she actually stole money to buy a hair flower.
Our old man was afraid that she would learn bad things, so he hit her a few times with a stick.
Look at you, kid. Are you still holding a grudge against your grandma because of this incident?
Your parents passed away early, and your grandma loved you so much, how could it be possible...?"
The more Mrs. Qiao spoke, the sadder she became, and finally she started crying out of grievance.
Qiao Qianqian was a little anxious, she knew it would not be easy to get rid of these people from the Qiao family.
After all, she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though she was smarter than others, she was a little at a loss at this moment.
At this moment, Lu Chuan coughed lightly and stood up.
"Grandma Qiao, right? Our Lu Yong can't just watch a girl's life ruined like this.
How about this, let’s go back and discuss it with our parents today.
After all, this is not a trivial matter. If your parents agree, we will come to propose marriage tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Qiao stopped crying and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
The speed was so fast that everyone was amazed.
She was about to open her mouth to speak when Qiao Qianqian interrupted her: "Comrade Lu, can I go with you?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What did that mean? Why would a woman be so eager to go to a man's house?
A few aunts who were usually kind thought that Qiao Qianqian was young and didn't understand these things, so they hurried forward and pulled Qiao Qianqian over.
"Xiao Qian, you can't do this. If you go, not to mention your reputation, even the man's family will look down on you."
"Yes, Qianqian, listen to your aunt and wait at home. I think that young man is honest and reliable."
Qiao Qianqian thanked the aunts for their kindness, looked straight at Lu Yong, and asked softly, "Is it okay?"
Lu Yong looked at the girl in front of him, his big round, dark eyes flashing with pleading and determination.
For a moment, he agreed as if possessed by a ghost.
Qiao Qianqian let out a long breath, and the big stone that had been hanging in her heart fell to the ground.
She also knew that doing so would make people look down upon her. If Lu Yong's family disagreed, she would be drowned by rumors and spit.
By then, she might have no choice but to escape from this small village...
The captain's eyes flickered, and he pointed at a young woman with pigtails and said, "Gui Lian, I remember your mother's family is in their village, right?
How about this, you go with me, and if it's too late at night, you can stay at your mother's house."
Guilian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the captain actually knew where her parents' home was!
She is the only one who married farthest from her parents' home among the surrounding villages. It usually takes her three or four hours to ride a bicycle to go back to her parents' home.
Now that she heard that she could get a tractor to go back to her parents' home, she immediately smiled and agreed.
Qiao Qianqian cast a grateful look at the captain and quietly thanked the aunts.
Her delicate and frail appearance aroused sympathy from many aunts.
It was not until she got on the tractor that the expression on Qiao Qianqian's face faded.
She and Lu Yong were both sitting at the back, and Lu Yong could clearly see the fuzz on the girl's face by just turning his head slightly.
The image of the weak girl being pushed around appeared in my mind again.
Looking at his dark fist, he thought this punch would be enough to make someone cry...
How come this little girl is so white? Don’t the villagers say that she works hard every day?
Why does he look whiter than my younger sister? With such thin arms and legs, would his father agree?
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Yong finally tilted his head and looked at Qiao Qianqian openly.
A blush slowly appeared on Qiao Qianqian's face, and the hand that was clenching the corner of her clothes tightened unconsciously.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her ears were red: "You, don't look at it anymore."
But the rumbling sound of the tractor soon drowned out her voice.
Lu Yong looked at her like a frightened little rabbit, burying her face in her arms, and couldn't help but chuckle.
I secretly sighed in my heart: It would be nice to marry a wife like this.
Lu Yong, who originally just felt that he was fooled by a woman and could not lose face in any way, now gradually felt a little hot in his heart.
