However, after hearing his granddaughter's words, a hint of anger flashed in the old man's eyes.
Your family was the one who rushed to propose to your in-laws. Oh, the Qin family hasn't fallen yet, and they're already bullying his granddaughter?
Do they really think Qin Chuan is dead?
However, breaking off an engagement is never a respectable thing to do.
If word gets out, my granddaughter's reputation will probably suffer.
"Grandpa, my cousin is right. Being well is the most important thing."
Reputation is important, but this matter is in my fault, so I have no choice but to call off the engagement!
Her unusual assertiveness surprised Old Master Qin.
This kid does have some of his domineering spirit from when he was young.
"Lihua, have you thought this through?"
Finally, the old man took a deep look at his granddaughter and asked.
Qin Lihua nodded, "Grandpa, I've thought it through very clearly, this engagement must be called off!"
If this had happened in the past, the old man would definitely have scolded her.
But now he has a much more open-minded view: children's affairs should be decided by the children themselves.
Look at Shihua and Shile, they went out to earn tuition fees at such a young age, and now they have grown up to be so outstanding!
“Okay, Grandpa can help you with this.”
But Lihua, what are your plans for the future?
For a girl her age to break off an engagement, regardless of whether she's in the right or not, her reputation won't be very good.
If you don't go forward, what happened to the girl in the neighboring courtyard who broke off her engagement and then committed suicide?
Although the Qin family's children are not that weak, they still have to endure a lot of abuse.
Unexpectedly, Qin Lihua's eyes sparkled.
"I asked Sister Lele, and she said she wants to go back to the hospital and become a doctor in the future."
"After I graduate, I'll go over there and find a school to teach the kids!"
Qin Chuan?
Are these kids stupid? Why would they leave the capital and go to that remote mountain village?
It's not that Qin Chuan looks down on remote mountain villages; rather, the old man feels that the opportunities in the capital are greater than in smaller places.
Well, the main point is that he also had his own selfish motives.
As people get older, they always enjoy having their children and grandchildren around them.
Look at his grandchildren, not one of them has decided to stay with him.
"You...you really like your sister Lele that much?"
He sighed inwardly before asking the question that concerned him most.
This child has only known her cousin for less than a week, and she already wants to go with her?
When her cousin was mentioned, Qin Lihua's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
The main reason was that one day on the way to the hospital, her cousin quickly dealt with a group of people.
Those people didn't seem like good people, but they were beaten to a pulp by her cousin, and those who couldn't escape immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Finally, my cousin dumped them outside the police station and left.
Before that, she always thought she was learning health preservation techniques.
That's how my cousin introduced her, and then...
That's why she hasn't complained about being tired or bitter these past few days.
No matter how hard or tiring it was, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
As a result, she also gained quite a lot of benefits.
At the very least, her cousin was much more patient when teaching her.
Moreover, she also discovered that her cousin was exceptionally knowledgeable, giving her the impression that there was nothing she couldn't do.
Well, so the only thing my cousin can't do is cook?
Cough cough cough, this is my cousin's Achilles' heel, I can't say it, I can't say it.
The old man felt both gratified and heartbroken to see his granddaughter like this.
If his grandfather is so amazing, why doesn't his grandson admire him as much?
Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
They like all sorts of things, he doesn't care!
Anyway, there's someone to take over his position now.
"Alright, let's go down then. Will the Shu family be coming today?" The old man made the decision immediately before asking.
Qin Lihua nodded. "It's probably because my second aunt called him."
After all, she was her second aunt's family. I really don't know why her second aunt would do this to her.
Do you really think Qin Lihua is easy to bully?
Well, this time, I have Grandpa backing me up. Let's see if my second aunt dares to cause trouble again!
It's precisely because there are no female elders in the family that my second aunt would have had the chance to step up.
Shu Man was very unhappy that she didn't see Qin Lihua come out.
However, she always presented a gentle demeanor, and also took the opportunity to sow discord between these two cousins who were as close as inseparable as if they were wearing the same pair of pants.
So she greeted Liu Shile with a smile and led her downstairs.
Liu Shile's smile remained unchanged as she leisurely followed him downstairs.
"Lele, let me introduce you. This is my nephew from my maternal family."
His name is Shu Tong, and he is currently a senior in college. He has already found a job.
Shu Tong, this is Lele, the child we told you about. Our Qin family just found her, her name is Liu Shile.
You're all young people, so you'll have to take good care of her for me, okay?
Her manner as the mistress of the house made everyone frown.
She herself was completely unaware of it, or perhaps she knew but didn't take others seriously.
"Auntie, you're joking. I will take good care of my sister."
Qin Ming disliked this kind of open and covert struggle, but that didn't mean he was unaware of it.
When did it become the time for an outsider to take care of the Qin family's daughter?
Besides, if he remembered correctly, this Shu Tong was his little cousin's fiancé, wasn't he?
What is my second aunt planning to do by having her unmarried brother-in-law take care of her sister who has just returned from the countryside?
His eyes held an inexplicable emotion, so complex that it was impossible to decipher.
“I will take care of my sister myself, so Aunt Qin need not trouble herself.” Liu Shilehua was not to be outdone and did not stand on ceremony at all.
Shu Man's expression changed when the two younger people spoke to her like that.
As for Qin Ming, forget about him. That brat has always lived in the Qin family and is protected by many people, so she can't mess with him.
But who is this brat who just came back? How dare he slap her in the face?
"Look at what you're saying, kid. This is the capital after all. You've just arrived, and there are many places you don't need to use yet."
Your aunt is doing this for your own good. Your older brother is always busy with work; how can he have time to take care of you?
She acts like she's doing it all for your own good; anyone who didn't know better would really think she was doing it for their benefit.
"Second sister-in-law, that's not how you joke. I will take care of my daughter myself, you don't need to worry about her."
Zhang Susu frowned unhappily. This second sister-in-law was really something else!
Shu Man wasn't angry at all; in fact, she even looked apologetic.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I was thinking about how you forgot about the child back then..."
At this point, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly stopped talking, apologizing, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I misspoke."
She didn't just say something wrong; she was clearly stabbing Zhang Susu in the heart.
Qin Youde glanced coldly at his second son, "If you can't control your wife, don't come here again."
Qin Youde wasn't afraid of this older brother, and just smiled when he heard this.
"Look at what my brother is saying, Dad's right here, how could we not come?"
Third brother, don't you think this makes sense?
Qin Youming was caught in the crossfire innocently; what could he do but try to smooth things over?
Zhang Susu was so angry that her face turned pale. She had been targeted during a mission and had to divert attention.
