As for the claim that this was a unilateral announcement by him without informing the Shu family, ha~
There's no need for that; we have a daughter from the Shu family here.
"Dad, I'm afraid what you're doing isn't very appropriate?"
Lihua and Shutong had such a long-standing relationship, and to break them up like this...
Shu Man was shocked. She never expected that the old man had such a plan!
She became so anxious that her face changed color, and she tried to reason with the relationship between the two children.
"Second Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My relationship with Shu Tong is completely innocent."
He and Bai Su were in love and perfectly matched, so I generously granted their wish.
Why do some of the things my second aunt says sound so strange?
My second aunt used to always talk about how good Shu Tong was in front of her, and sometimes she would also talk about how Shu Tong was.
Although she felt it was somewhat unrealistic at the time, she didn't care too much.
After all, they're engaged, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.
But now, it doesn't sound the same to her.
It can only be said that once a person's thinking changes, their perspective on things becomes very different.
For example, Qin Lihua suddenly felt that her second aunt's words sounded strange no matter how she looked at them.
It's as if she's willing to pay anyone and is completely devoted to such a worthless cabbage.
If someone heard her say that, they would definitely think she was shameless, right?
How come she never noticed before that her second aunt was quite cunning?
Well, okay, Shu Man wasn't in such a hurry before; she always spoke and acted in a subtle and gentle way.
But now, she's clearly panicked, which is why she's speaking without thinking.
Qin Youde tried to adopt the demeanor of an elder and reprimand Qin Lihua.
But Li Mei beat him to it and also offered her support for her daughter with hostility.
"Lihua is right. Second Aunt, please don't say such nonsense again."
"You're Lihua's elder, how can an elder treat their own niece like this?"
With her mother's support, Qin Lihua felt even more confident.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. My mind is made up!"
Second son's family, go back and explain the situation to your family.
Shu family brat, you know what you're doing, so watch your mouth.
If I hear any negative gossip about Lihua outside, hmph!
Old Master Qin didn't even want to look at this young man.
Don't you know your own worth?
They enjoy the benefits brought to them by the Qin family while bullying the Qin family's children. They're really something!
Thinking of this, he glared at his second son again. He couldn't even manage his own wife, so what use was he?
Shu Tong felt extremely embarrassed. She got up, gave a perfunctory greeting, and hurriedly left.
However, he harbored resentment towards his aunt. If his aunt hadn't called him to the Qin family today, would he have made such a fool of himself?
And that scoundrel who came from the mountains, he actually dared to humiliate him on the spot.
And Qin Lihua, she really didn't give him any face. She must have hooked up with someone else to dump him!
He didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.
Shu Man's face turned pale and then red, which looked frightening.
This time, she made a fool of herself. She originally wanted to step on her sister-in-law, but in the end, she was the one who got stepped on.
The thought of who had brought her to this point brought a flash of cold light to Shu Man's eyes.
Thankfully, dinner was served soon; otherwise, I wouldn't know how to break the awkward atmosphere.
The food in the North is different from that in the South.
However, since Liu Shih-hua and Liu Shih-le, the siblings, were present today, the meal consisted mostly of southern Chinese dishes.
This time, Liu Shihua sat in the first seat to the left of the old man.
Originally, that position should have belonged to Qin Ming or Qin Youde, but now it belongs to Liu Shihua.
As for Liu Shile, she was placed in the lower right seat of the old man.
This seat originally belonged to Zhang Susu, but now it's been given to Liu Shile.
Shu Man was forced to move down, which made her already unhappy mood even worse.
However, at this juncture, she dared not say anything. The Qin family had not yet collapsed, and she still had to come here frequently.
Because of what happened before, she couldn't enjoy the meal.
Moreover, this meal was different from what Liu Shile had imagined.
There weren't as many dishes as they had at the guesthouse, and there wasn't much meat either.
Then she realized that the current environment was really not good.
The old man's face twitched slightly; he saw the disdain in his granddaughter's eyes.
He coughed awkwardly and explained the current situation.
Since last year, there have been many disasters, so although their supplies are sufficient, they are the ones who take the lead in practicing frugality.
So, it's already pretty good that we can eat like this at home.
Liu Shile suddenly felt that she might have sent the wrong thing.
In years like these, sending grain seems more useful than sending top-quality medicinal herbs.
She found it a bit strange; Guangying's plant research should have yielded some results, right?
Why hasn't it been promoted here? Or what happened?
It seems she'll be very busy during the Chinese New Year.
Having made up her mind, Liu Shile didn't say anything more and slowly ate her meal.
The atmosphere at the dinner table wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either; only the second branch of the family looked a little unhappy.
However, no one paid attention, as food prices were high and no one wanted to waste food.
After eating and drinking her fill, Liu Shile was originally planning to leave.
But after thinking about it, I still talked to the old man for a while.
The content is more related to the livelihoods of farmers.
When she went back this time, she found that the situation in their county was relatively good.
It seems that Wang Guangying's efforts over the past few years have not been in vain.
Well, at this time, I still need to go check on my older brother.
The environment there is even harsher; who knows how those seeds that were sown before have grown.
These days, she's been so busy in the capital that she's completely forgotten about this.
If she hadn't seen what the Qin family was eating at their table today, she wouldn't have thought of it for a while.
So, after discussing things with the old man, she wanted to leave cleanly.
At this moment, Qin Ming stood up and offered to take them back.
Liu Shile was puzzled for a moment, but she didn't refuse. "If you want to give it to me, then give it to me."
That's right, her older brother's physical condition is also quite average.
Doesn't the old man cultivate the children's physical fitness?
Since Qin Ming was going, Liu Shihua naturally went along as well.
So the four siblings braved the wind and snow and went out.
"Brother, your face is all white from the cold, why don't you go back?"
Qin Lihua didn't really want her older brother to see them off. He was a bit cold, and more importantly, he was quite delicate, and she was worried he might get sick.
Qin Ming forced a smile. "I'm fine, I'm not cold."
They're breathing out white vapor when they talk, yet they still say they're not cold.
Although he was dressed quite warmly, he still looked rather thin in the wind and snow, mainly because of his slender build.
Although Liu Shihua was also thin, he was particularly muscular due to his long-term martial arts training.
And because of his internal energy, the temperature didn't freeze him.
After thinking for a moment, he took off his coat and draped it over his older brother.
A warm breeze blew in, but Qin Ming still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Shihua, put your own clothes on. I'm not cold. Don't listen to Lihua's nonsense."
