Chapter 279
There were many people watching the excitement upstairs and downstairs. After receiving instructions in advance, the people of the Zhao family downstairs set off firecrackers.
The corridor on the third floor was crowded with people.
As the groom arrived, they slowly made way for a passage. When they arrived
at the Zhao family's door, they knocked on the door and handed over more than ten red envelopes. Qin Yang was coaxed by Huang Rong to sing two songs, and finally he was allowed to enter. Zhao
Qian was sitting in the house with a blushing face. Qin Yang was smiling, went over to help her put on her shoes, and stretched out his hand and said, "Come home with me."
Zhao Qian held his hand and stood up, her face full of happiness.
Many people were not optimistic about them, but they are still together and are going to get married.
After bidding farewell to her parents, Zhao Qian's eyes finally turned red. Zhao Wenbo carefully instructed, "Qin Yang, I only have this one child, I hope you can treat her well."
Qin Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I will only treat her well in my life. It's useless to say more, just look at my performance."
"We believe in you." Jiang Manling wiped away her tears and instructed Zhao Qian, "Husband and wife should discuss things with each other, don't make decisions on your own, and live a good life."
Qin Yang led Zhao Qian out of the door, just as he was about to turn back, Jiang Manling shouted, "Don't turn back."
There is no turning back in marriage, and Jiang Manling doesn't want her daughter to turn back one day.
The newlyweds went downstairs, and Jiang Manling cried uncontrollably.
Zhao Wenbo's eyes were red, and he said, "Okay, stop crying, pack up and go to the hotel."
"Yes, yes, let's go to the hotel." Jiang Manling was happy again, she would be able to see her daughter soon.
Huang Rong had already followed the newlyweds downstairs, and Gu Aiju was extremely envious, "This sister-in-law alone can bring a lot of benefits."
Jiang Manling no longer had time to pay attention to her.
Zhao Qian's aunt couldn't help it any longer, and said directly, "Cousin, then you should also quickly ask Rongrong to find a more powerful one."
The newlyweds went downstairs and got on the front car. The Zhao family set off firecrackers again, and Qin Yang's brothers held a bag and threw peanut candies out for free to ensure that everyone present could grab them.
After leaving the family compound, the car did not go the way it came, but went out from another direction, took a new road, and went directly to the new house.
Arriving at the gate of the new house, Qin Baotian and Qin Hai, who had just returned from the hotel, lit up firecrackers. Amid the crackling sound, Huang Xiufen scattered a bag of wedding candy and peanuts everywhere.
After everything was snatched, the car stopped at the gate. Qin Yang helped Zhao Qian out and went to the building together.
In the building, the lion dance team specially invited by Qin Yang began to dance with gongs and drums, and the scene was very lively.
Suddenly, Qin Xiang saw a woman coming out of the building. Qin Xiang was stunned, and then looked away.
Lian Fengying came.
When Lian Fengying saw Qin Xiang, she opened her mouth, but didn't shout in the end.
At this time, the newlyweds had completed the ceremony and were led upstairs. Lian Fengying was followed by her sister-in-law Lin Juan from her mother's family. She looked at her and said, "Big sister, we have agreed that you can't cause trouble today. Dad and mom are watching."
Lian Fengying stammered, "I know, I just came down to look for the children."
These were all excuses. There was no need to look for the children. The two children were eight or nine years old. They were playing around here with their younger brother. How could anything happen to them?
Qin Xiang and others went upstairs and were busy again. Then they were ready to go to the hotel to hold the wedding.
Qin Baotian and Qin Hai also came up from the car that passed by. Qin Xiang asked, "My mother didn't look for you, did she?"
"Your uncle and aunt stopped her." Qin Baotian's tone was full of helplessness. "She has aged a lot."
Qin Xiang hummed.
She also noticed that Lian Fengying was the same age as her father and had just turned fifty this year, but her father's life was not so tiring now. He ate well and looked radiant, looking several years younger. Her mother had a lot more white hair and more wrinkles on her face in the past two years.
But Qin Xiang really couldn't understand it. Now, each of the four brothers and sisters gave five yuan a month, plus the ten yuan Qin Baotian gave a month, which was thirty yuan. It was supposed that the mother and her three children should have eaten well. Who in the country could get thirty-five yuan a month ?
But life was still like this.
She also saw the two children, who were as thin as bamboo poles, and their faces were yellow due to malnutrition.
How could you raise children like this with thirty-five yuan a month?
Qin Baotian sighed, "I asked Secretary Qin, and he said that she was reluctant to spend money even though she had it, so the two children were so thin."
Qin Xiang sneered, "Maybe she wants to save money for her precious son."
Qin Baotian was silent, this was very likely.
Don't underestimate Lian Fengying's motherly love for Qin Jun. That was only for Qin Jun, and she didn't have much love for the two children. She only raised them because they were her eldest son's children, and she would support her son in the future.
But Qin Xiang didn't want to care, because she knew that once she intervened, this matter would never end. But Qin Baotian
felt distressed when he looked at the two children.
The parents committed a sin, and the children suffered with it, and the two children were good children. Before the new people came, Qin Nan brought his younger brother to him and said that he would take good care of his younger brother and told him not to worry.
It was very uncomfortable for an eight-year-old child to say such words seriously.
But he couldn't bring himself to take the two children away. After all, Qin Hai would not stay out for his whole life. If he saw the two children with him when he came out, he would definitely grab them and not let them go.
There was no time to feel sad. They soon arrived at the door of the hotel. Qin Xiang said, "Dad, don't think about it. Today is a good day for the third brother."
"Oh, I know." Qin Baotian's face became happy again when he thought of the third brother.
Very proud.
The daughter-in-law that the third brother married was educated and had good family conditions. Everyone in the village said she was good.
The sound of firecrackers and salutes was set off together. At this time, Zhao Qian's family also arrived at the hotel.
A group of people entered the hotel and sat down. The newlyweds went to the dressing room at the back to make the final preparations.
Qin Yang specially invited Hao Jingjing, who had just returned from vacation, to the wedding. Hao Jingjing was professional in hosting the wedding and hosted the wedding passionately.
Wearing Xiuhe clothing, one must follow the Chinese etiquette, worship heaven and earth, worship parents, and worship each other as a couple.
Lian Fengying felt uncomfortable when she was invited up. She couldn't help but glance at the man beside her, and for the first time, she shuddered.
She felt further away from Qin Baotian.
Before Qin Baotian came, she still fantasized about remarrying and raising a child for the eldest brother together, but her parents told her not to think about it. If Qin Baotian didn't want her, then he didn't want her, so she had to be quiet.
Lian Fengying just couldn't understand why she had planned so much for the child, but it ended up like this.
She still had some fantasies, but now she was uncertain.
"Now that the newlyweds have changed their words, parents can prepare red envelopes for the change of words."
Hao Jingjing's words brought Lian Fengying back to her senses.
The red envelope for the change of words was given by Qin Yang in advance. When Zhao Qian called her mother, Lian Fengying took it out and handed it over in a panic.
Qin Baotian, who was standing next to him, smiled and gave a red envelope to change his words, and told Qin Yang, "Third brother, treat Zhao Qian well. Husband and wife are husband and wife for life, and only she can accompany you until old age."
Only husband and wife can support each other until old age?
But why don't you want her? At
this moment, Lian Fengying almost cried.
Fortunately, the ceremony ended quickly. Qin Xiang saw that something was wrong, so she asked her fourth sister and aunt to help Lian Fengying down.
As for Qin Xiang herself, she would not go.
After coming down, Qin Juan was also a little unhappy. She frowned and said, "It's a great day, you'd better be careful and don't embarrass third brother. You know his temper."
Lian Fengying hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time. Lin Juan also advised, "That's right, sister, no matter what you think in your heart, you can do whatever you want when you go back. Today is the third brother's big day, and his father-in-law's family is here. If you mess it up, you will see if he will get angry."
Lian Fengying just didn't say a word.
Lin Juan didn't say anything more, let go of her and prepared to go find Qin Xiang, Lian Fengying grabbed her again, "Juanzi."
Qin Juan looked back at her, "What else do you want?"
Lian Fengying pursed her lips, "Are you... doing well now?"
Qin Juan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she actually felt a little happy because of her mother's concern. She nodded and her voice became softer, "Very good."
"That's good, that's good." Lian Fengying rubbed her hands and looked at her expectantly, "Well, can mom ask you for a favor?"
Qin Juan's heart suddenly dropped to the freezing point. Sure enough, there was no maternal love. The reason why she cared about her was to pave the way for the following words.
No wonder Qin Xiang didn't want to deal with her mother. She was heartbroken and didn't want to give her mother a chance to hurt herself again.
She was stupid and naive. She still had hope. She should have known it earlier.
"Then don't say it. I definitely can't do it." Qin Juan didn't know what she was going to say and refused directly.
But Lian Fengying refused to let her go. She grabbed her arm and said, "Don't leave. You are living well, can't you see that we are not living well? Can you bear to watch our mother suffer like this?"
Qin Juan was stunned. "You also know that you are not living well. You said that 35 yuan a month is not good? Who in the country can be as rich as you?"
"But..." Lian Fengying explained, "Your eldest brother is still in there. I have to save some money for him. Otherwise, how will he live after he gets out? How can he marry a wife..."
Before she finished her words, Qin Juan had turned around and left.
Qin Juan walked very fast, and in a few steps she sat down next to Qin Xiang.
Lian Fengying opened her mouth to call someone over, but when she saw Qin Xiang, she closed it again.
Lin Juan, who was standing by, had seen enough of the excitement and pulled her aside, saying, "Come on, big sister, let's go over and sit down too, we'll be having a meal soon."
Qin Xiang and her siblings sat at a separate table with Meng Huaiqing, Hao Jingjing, Mi Hongjun and others, next to the table where Lian Fengying and others were sitting.
Qin Juan repeated what Lian Fengying had said just now. Qin Xiang said, "So, Fourth Sister, you actually softened your heart just now."
Qin Juan did not deny it, and said with a sarcastic smile, "I am too naive."
"Then do you still have expectations in the future?"
Qin Juan shook her head, "No. We sisters are born not to be loved by our mother."
The mother's love was only given to Qin Jun. Even though Qin Jun was not a good-for-nothing, Lian Fengying only loved Qin Jun, and the other children were all weeds.
Qin Baotian was silent on the side, and after a while he said, "Don't think about her."
The two sisters stopped talking.
Today, many relatives and villagers of the Qin family also came, and there were six tables sitting. Qin Yang hired a car to bring them here before dawn. The provincial capital was originally the Zhao family's base camp, and there were many relatives and friends. They came one after another, setting up ten tables. In addition, there were three tables for Qin Yang's good friends who had met in the past few years. There were a total of nineteen tables, which was very lively.
The wine and food came slowly, and the newlyweds toasted one after another.
It took a long time to serve one table after another.
When the banquet officially started, the Qin family's relatives were also amazed. This banquet was really good. This table must have cost a lot of money.
After counting, there were a total of twenty dishes, more meat dishes and fewer vegetarian dishes, and each one was cooked very well.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin Pang Xiuju sat next to Lian Fengying, and they felt unlucky when they saw Lian Fengying's face.
Lin Juan and her mother-in-law also tried to persuade her, but it was no use so they just stopped talking. They were only responsible for making sure Lian Fengying didn't cause any trouble, and they didn't care about anything else.
Pang Xiujiu couldn't help but said, "It's the third brother's wedding after all, you should be happy and don't embarrass him."
Lian Fengying pursed her lips and looked at her, "You also think I'm wrong?"
Pang Xiujiu almost laughed out loud. What is this woman thinking about all day long? It's been such a long time and she's still thinking about things that are right or wrong. She said, "It's useless whether I'm right or wrong. You have to figure it out yourself. But it's useless for you to admit your mistake now. A mistake is a mistake, and the damage has already existed. You should live a down-to-earth life in the future."
Now her eldest daughter Qin Zhen follows Qin Juan to work and make money in the capital. When she comes back, she also tells her about the two sisters. They are living a really good life. She was very happy that her daughter could live in the capital. She had found a boyfriend. Although he was not an employee of a state-owned enterprise, but worked for a private enterprise, he was doing well. They planned to get married after getting to know each other for a while.
Qin Mian, the second daughter, was finally admitted to the provincial capital university this year. Now there is a college student in her family.
These were all changes brought by Qin Xiang and Qin Juan.
It was reasonable for her to keep an eye on Lian Fengying.
Lian Fengying pursed her lips and lowered her head. Seeing that her tears were about to fall again, Pang Xiuju was speechless, "Can you please stop doing this? It would be embarrassing if someone saw you. Be careful that the third brother would kick you out."
Lian Fengying was excited, "I am his mother."
Her voice was loud, and Pang Xiuju looked around in fear. Fortunately, there were a lot of people around, and everyone around was from Qinjiatun, so they did not attract the attention of the Zhao family. She said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You should eat quietly."
Lian Fengying wanted to say more, but Qin Nan tugged at her clothes, "Grandma, eat. The meat is so delicious."
Lian Fengying looked at Qin Nan and then shut up.
The banquet ended at around 2:00 p.m., and Zhao's relatives and friends left first. A friend of Qin Hai and Qin Yang was also arranging to send the people from Qinjiatun back home.
When it was time to get on the car, Lian Fengying refused again and held on to the two children, "I'll leave later."
Qin Hai said coldly, "If we leave later, there will be no cars."
"Then why don't you leave?"
Qin Hai smiled, "Because my store here is about to open, and we don't plan to go back."
"Then we'll follow you." Lian Fengying looked at Qin Hai and said, "You are my son, you have to support us."
Qin Hai laughed angrily, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "The money we give you every month, is it free? The pension agreement is already written, do you want me to read it?"
He glanced at the car, and Lin Juan and her husband hurriedly got out of the car. He smiled awkwardly, "We'll take them back now."
As he said that, the couple pulled Lian Fengying.
Lian Fengqiang said, "Sister, let's go. Stop making trouble. You promised us."
But at this moment Lian Fengying suddenly had an idea, "Don't think I don't know. You took their money, so you're watching us. Are you still my brother?"
Lian Fengqiang's face froze. He let go of her arm, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket with a gloomy face, and threw it in her face. "Then I'll give you this money, you can do whatever you want."
After that, Lian Fengqiang pulled his wife directly into the car, obviously not wanting to care about it anymore.
Lian Fengying felt aggrieved again. She bit her lip while taking the money and looked at Qin Hai, "So you would rather spend money than let us stay."
Qin Hai said, "It's useless for you to stay. No one will raise a child for Qin Jun."
Qin Nan pulled Lian Fengying and said, "Grandma, let's go home. I want to go home."
"Grandma, go home." Qin Bei received the signal from his eldest brother and hurriedly pulled Lian Fengying.
Lian Fengying started crying again, "I have a miserable life. I gave birth to several children but they were not on the same side with me... I finally found one who loved me, but you guys put him in jail. You heartless things, I should have strangled you to death back then..."
Qin Hai sneered, "If you had strangled us to death back then, who would have paid you 20 yuan a month? In other words, if we had a choice, we would not have let you give birth to us."
Lian Fengying stopped crying and was shocked by Qin Hai's cold eyes.
As no one got on the bus, Qin Yang also came over. His joy suddenly faded when he saw Lian Fengying's tears, "What for?"
Lian Fengying pursed her lips and begged, "We want to stay. Your house is so big, and you are often not at home, we can look after it for you."
Qin Yang smiled, "I have a wife to look after the house, I don't need you."
"My wife is from another family, she is not as reliable as me." Lian Fengying felt that she was smart for a rare moment, and hurriedly said, "You are often not at home, and you are at ease leaving her alone at home? Aren't you afraid that she..."
"That's enough." Qin Hai interrupted her with a gloomy face, dragging her to the car, "Don't force the third child to get angry."
Lian Fengying glanced at Qin Yang's face, which was already very bad, but she was really unwilling to give up, so she said to Qin Baotian who was not far away, "Then I want to remarry your father and raise the child together. These two are also his grandchildren. Why doesn't he raise them and let me raise them alone."
She made a lot of noise, and the people around heard it and looked over.
Secretary Qin got off the car and scolded, "Lian Fengying, get in the car."
Lian Fengying looked at Qin Baotian stubbornly, "Qin Baotian, I want to remarry you."
Qin Baotian pursed his lips and turned away.
Lian Fengying wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Qin Hai. Secretary Qin looked extremely unhappy, "If you make trouble again, I will kick you all out of Qinjiatun, and also kick Qin Jun out together."
Lian Fengying was stunned.
Pang Xiuju and several women from the Qin family came over to pull her, dragging her to the car.
Lian Fengying cried there, crying miserably.
Qin Nan and Qin Bei also begged their grandmother with red eyes to stop making trouble.
They would rather stay in the village than come here.
Qin Nan was old enough to remember when their parents did the bad things. He couldn't change his parents' minds, and he couldn't keep an eye on his grandmother.
After getting the people into the car, Lian Fengying still made trouble.
Qin Xiang got into the car slowly and took out the agreement he had written from his pocket. "If you make trouble again, you won't get these twenty yuan anymore."
Lian Fengying looked at Qin Xiang's face and bit her lip. "You don't dare. If you don't give it to me, I'll sue you."
"Then go ahead and sue him. It's a good opportunity to investigate what happened back then and sentence Qin Jun to a few more years." Qin Xiang's eyes were cold. "You should know that I have the ability to keep him in there for the rest of his life. I heard that those serving sentences have to work hard and are very tired. If he stays there for another ten or eight years, will he still be human when he comes out?"
"That's your elder brother!" Lian Fengying looked at Qin Xiang in horror, "Why are you so hateful? That's your elder brother."
Qin Xiang smiled, "My elder brother? Sorry, I don't even have a mother, so how can I have an elder brother and sister-in-law. If you make trouble again, you can try. I have the connections and people now. You can try to see if I can do it."
After saying that, she got out of the car directly. Lian Fengying sat there in a daze, unable to
come back to her senses for a long time. Pang Xiuju hurriedly urged the driver to drive. The driver was also worried about another accident, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Lian Fengying murmured, "How can she be so cruel? Doesn't she have a heart..."
People around her were unwilling to talk to her, and they all said in their hearts: It's obviously you who went too far, and she's your own mother. Thirty yuan a month is not enough, and you're asking for more.
Secretary Qin was also helpless, and was talking to Qin Baotian about the two children. Anyway, just as they thought, even if there was 30 yuan a month, Lian Fengying was reluctant to spend it on the children, and she kept it, saying that she would give it to Qin Jun to live and marry a wife after he was released.
Qin Baotian was also speechless, so he said, "Brother, can I spend my 10 yuan directly on the children in the future?"
"It's not easy to deal with." Secretary Qin said, "After all, she is raising the child, and we can't let the child eat at my house."
Qin Baotian frowned, "Then send the child to a boarding school?"
Secretary Qin said, "This is also a way, but will Lian Fengying agree?"
This is also a big problem.
"It won't starve to death, don't worry about it." Secretary Qin felt mixed emotions, "Just wait until Qin Jun comes out."
But no one can say for sure.
With Qin Jun being like that, will he really be good to the child?
But they can't do anything about it.
Secretary Qin and others left, and Qin Yang's friends left too.
Only Qin Xiang and his siblings were left at the door of the hotel.
Huang Xiufen said, "Let's go in and check if anything is left behind."
They brought the wine, cigarettes, and candies for the banquet, and they also told them during the banquet that they should take away any leftovers from any table. They all lived in the countryside, and they had never seen many of the candies before, so they were all very fresh.
Huang Xiufen checked and found nothing left.
Outside, Qin Xiang said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, take your sister-in-law back to rest first."
Qin Yang nodded, took Zhao Qian to the car and went back to the new house. Qin Xiang said to Qin Baotian, "Don't think too much. Some things are useless, unless you really want to come back to raise Qin Jun's children."
Qin Baotian frowned, and Qin Xiang said again, "Even if you are willing, at least consider Aunt Lan Ting, unless you don't plan to be with her. Consider each other more in everything. Once you come back, you and my mother will be inseparable."
