Chapter 152 Do You Like Her?
The Cheng family looked at each other, feeling unwilling, and they also knew that their strength was far inferior to that of the Qin family.
This Qin Zhili is really biased. Qin Yuzhen is his daughter, isn't Yuzhu his daughter too? Why can't he just keep putting up with it?
After all, Qin Yuzhu is also the daughter of Qin Zhili. Even if the Cheng family doesn't allow her to come, Qin Yuzhu can come back and still get some benefits.
The Cheng family left in disappointment.
Qin Zhili looked at Madam Qin and said, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for three days. After three days, stay in your own yard. If you need to leave the yard for something, send someone to report to me."
Madam Qin froze in place. Why did they restrict her from walking?
Seeing him getting up to leave, she cried and grabbed his sleeve: "Qin Zhili, you are too cruel to me. I have been married to the Qin Mansion for more than ten years, taking care of the family wholeheartedly, and gave birth to two daughters for you. Just because of such a small matter, you are going to treat me like this?"
Qin Zhili was filled with anger. He had not wanted to marry her back then, but he married her out of responsibility. For the sake of the mansion's reputation, he helped deal with the Cheng family's mess. He thought he had done his best.
Now that the Cheng family wants to ruin Zhenzhen's life, he hasn't divorced her. Is he cruel?
Now that Zhenzhen and Yunyi are both old enough to meet each other, he doesn't want to cause any more trouble, otherwise he will definitely divorce Cheng.
"A trivial matter? It concerns Zhenzhen's lifelong happiness, and you actually call it a trivial matter? It seems that you don't know where you are wrong. If Yuzhu fell into the water today and was rescued by a servant in the mansion, and you let her marry the servant, would you be willing?
If you think this punishment is too cruel, then divorce me. If you go back to your parents' home, you won't have to be punished."
Madam Qin slumped to the ground, then shook her head desperately: "No, you can't do this to me."
"Then accept the punishment obediently. Starting from today, for a month, copy a Heart Purification Mantra every day. Oh, I forgot that you are not very good at writing, so just write slowly."
After Qin Zhili finished speaking, he took Qin Yunyi and his sister away, ignoring Mrs. Qin's pleas.
Along the way, Qin Zhili was silent for a long time before he said, "Zhenzhen, it was your father who failed to protect you and almost ruined your life."
Qin Yuzhen shook her head: "It's not Dad's fault, Dad is very good."
"Then Cheng Zhao is not worthy of you. Dad will find a good marriage for you."
Qin Yuzhen's mind flashed with the image of Li Sandong. She immediately felt her face flush and lowered her head.
Qin Zhili sighed: "The Li family brothers and sisters helped a lot today. You can prepare some gifts and visit them to thank them someday."
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll get it done."
Qin Yun also responded.

As night fell, Xie Yan couldn't help laughing as he watched Shen Yu running over hurriedly, still gasping for breath.
"Is something chasing you?"
Shen Yu drank a cup of tea and finally came to his senses.
He said, "Guess who I saw in the Qin residence today?"
"Who is it?"
"Li Wanyue and her brother."
Xie Yan paused while writing and said, "So what? They have business dealings."
"Then do you know how Qin Yunyi calls Li Wanyue in private?"
Xie Yan raised his eyes to look at him.
Shen Yu imitated Qin Yunyi and said "Wanyue" in a soft voice.
Then he said, "He calls her Wanyue. They have already reached the point of calling each other intimately, but you are still hanging around here as 'Miss Li'. Do you like her or not?"
Xie Yan tightened his grip on the pen, and the ink from the pen dripped onto the paper, creating an ink flower.
He lowered his eyes, then said calmly: "If Miss Li is interested in him, it's useless for others to worry. If she is not interested in him, it won't matter if she gets close to him."
Shen Yu stared at him for a moment and thought to himself: You are very patient, you are awesome.
He asked: "What do you think of Miss Li?"
Xie Yan said nothing and continued practicing calligraphy.
Shen Yu continued, "I'm telling you, if you really fall in love with her, you have to think about the consequences. Not to mention her background, your parents won't agree just because she's been married."
"They probably forgot they had a son like me, so why would they care who I marry?" Xie Yan smiled faintly: "Besides, the government has no record of her marriage, so how could she have been married?
Even if I'm married, so what? As long as I like it, they shouldn't interfere."
Shen Yu recalled that when he was at Li's house, Li's mother said that Gao Zhiyuan's family only treated Li Wanyue as a servant and never touched her.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Anyway, this is a matter of life and death, so think it through yourself."
After saying that, he left the study.
Xie Yan put down his pen, picked up the handkerchief beside him, and gently stroked the bamboo patterns on it, wondering what he was thinking.
In summer, the sound of cicadas chirps one after another, green rice fields cover the mountains and fields, and the breeze blows, raising layers of rice waves.
After a period of hard construction, the Li family’s house is ready to be built.
Raising the roof beam is a very important ceremony. When the main beam at the highest point of the roof is put up, it symbolizes that the house has a soul.
As the old saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. It is not only physically stable, but also implies that the family foundation is upright and the fortune is stable. It is the most simple expectation for the family.
Therefore, we have to choose a suitable day for raising the beam and hold a beam-raising banquet.
The Li family discussed the dishes to be prepared for the banquet. Li Wanyue suggested eight dishes and two soups, four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and two soups, which meant perfection.
It sounds like there are many styles, but in fact, nothing is particularly special.
Now everyone in the village knows that their family has business dealings with Zuixianju and Baiweilou, so they don’t have to be as careful as before.
The other members of the Li family had no objection, as my younger sister had considered things more carefully than they did.
The aunt and sister-in-law, who had been notified in advance to come and help with cooking, arrived at Li's house early in the morning.
When they heard Wang Guixiang announce the dishes to be prepared, they were not too surprised. Other families had four or six dishes at the beam-raising banquet, so eight dishes was not too many.
But when they heard there were four meat dishes, they were surprised, as there was too much meat.
But it's other people's decision, so they just have to do their best.
They rolled up their sleeves and got busy.
On the other side, at the new house, people from the village came over one after another, and the largest beam had been placed on a wooden bench.
Generally, when raising a beam, auspicious words will be written on the beam, such as "auspicious time for raising the beam", "safe home, and everything will go smoothly".
Li Xiangyu from the Li family's old house was also in the crowd. He heard that the eldest family was putting up the beam today, so he came back early to get closer to them.
The people in the old house felt mixed emotions as they looked at the house that was beginning to take shape.
Who could have imagined that the Dafang family would one day become the richest family in the village.
Seeing Li Youshan pick up the pen and ink, Li Xiangyu immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, let me write auspicious words for the beam."
Li Youshan smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I can do it myself."
Li Xiangyu was shocked: "Uncle can write?"
"Yes, although it's not as good as yours, but it's still possible to write on the beam."
As he spoke, Li Youshan picked up a pen and wrote a few auspicious words on the beam.
Li Xiangyu couldn't believe it. Last year, his uncle's family couldn't read or write, but how come now they can not only read but also write well?
Although the handwriting is not as good as his, the writing is neat and I think the author has put a lot of effort into it.
