Chapter 251 Xu's awkwardness
Qin Xiuhe's face turned pale, she closed her eyes and dared not say a word.
"You've been staying at your parents' house for too long. Don't let anyone say anything bad about you. Go back in two days. If you don't go back, I'll have no choice but to send someone to the Mo family to ask them to come pick you up. By the way, ask them if they've abused you. Otherwise, why wouldn't a good daughter-in-law go back home?"
Qin Xiuhe was trembling all over.
Fearful and desperate.
Mr. Qin ignored her and got up and left.
Qin Xiuhe stopped pretending and glared at Madam Qin with resentment. "Are you satisfied? I know you hate me and wish I'd leave. You finally got what you wanted, didn't you?"
Mrs. Qin thought to herself, aren’t you quite clear about this?
"You're overthinking it."
Mrs. Qin also got up and left.
Qin Xiuhe burst into tears.
This time, it was useless for Qin Xiuhe to make a fuss. Master Qin was no longer as soft-hearted as before, and Qin Xiuhe had to leave.
She also took her two sons, Mo Tianyao and Mo Tianrui, with her. She was worried about leaving them here. Who knew if her eldest sister-in-law would resort to evil and revenge? Who knew if the servants would take advantage of her sons and bully them?
Mo Tianyao and Mo Tianrui didn't really want to leave. They felt much more comfortable living here than at home. Qin Xiuhe comforted them that they would come back one day, and the two brothers were reluctant to leave.
In Liangjia Village, Liang Xiaoman returned to the village injured, causing a lot of gossip.
Aunt Liang was unwilling to let her precious grandson suffer any injustice, so she told him the truth, including that after Liang Xiaoman recovered from his injury, he would be the manager of a farm for Xu Zhichun.
Everyone became envious again.
As expected of someone who has been to the city, he is knowledgeable, capable, and has learned valuable things. He is better than the foolish and ignorant boys in the village! He is already a manager at such a young age.
Most people didn't think it was a pity that Liang Xiaoman gave up going to the Qin family business to continue studying. Without knowing the specific situation, most people thought that on the one hand, he would continue to be an apprentice with no idea when he would be able to make a breakthrough, while on the other hand, he would be the manager in charge of 300 acres of fertile land, a dozen servants and many tenants. Isn't this more prestigious and dignified than being an apprentice?
After all this talk, I began to envy Xu Zhichun again.
When it comes to dignity and respect, it has to be Zhichun!
This had nothing to do with Chunfen's family, but Chunfen's sister-in-law Xu was upset.
"I, Chunfen, have tried my best and helped her so much, but in her eyes, I am just a fool! Nothing good can happen to me."
"How old is Liang Xiaoman? He's already the head of the farm? And Yang Xiaoan and his son are so honest that they even stutter when they meet people. She also handed over dozens of acres of land to them. And what about Chunfen? He just foolishly does heavy work all day long, like a slave!"
"You're like a slave! You're bullying me! It's too much!"
"She simply looks down on Chunfen and our family."
"Can't our family take charge? Aren't Dad and Xiaomao better than Yang Xiaoan and the others? And Liang Xiaoman is just an apprentice in the city, what does she know? It's a pity that Chunfen followed her to work first, but in the end, he got nothing."
Chunfen's mother was extremely worried, fearing that she might have miscarried. She was terrified, "That's not the case, that's not the case. You're overthinking it. Don't think like that."
"Who said it wasn't? It is! You guys are really funny. Others are bullying you and not taking you seriously at all, but you are still so foolish as to be grateful to them. You are so stupid. If they don't bully you, who else will they bully?"
Seeing her like this, Chunfen's mother became even more frightened, so she had no choice but to go along with her and comfort her repeatedly: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. You, you are right. Xu, please don't be angry, don't be angry, otherwise what will happen if you get a miscarriage?"
Xu sneered, "I know my limits. I'm not that stupid. I just can't stand being made a fool of myself."
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry."
Xu suddenly looked at her mother-in-law seriously: "Call Chunfen back, we won't be the one being taken advantage of!"
"Ah? But—"
"It's not like we can't have food at home, what's the matter? I want to see if she regrets not having Chunfen to help. What's the point of buying a little girl home?"
"Besides, Chunfen should be told off. It's not right for her to continue hanging around like this. Who knows, in a year or two, they might not want her anymore and send her back. What can we do? What can Chunfen do? It's better for her to find someone to marry now."
Chunfen Niang was stunned and fell silent.
Her daughter's marriage has always been a concern for her.
What the daughter-in-law said does make some sense.
"But it's not that easy to find a suitable family, alas."
Mrs. Xu sneered, "Isn't there a ready-made one? Have you forgotten? Didn't the aunt from the Lian family in Yuebakou Village come to talk about it last month? Her family was poor before, so they delayed marrying a daughter-in-law. Now that she's a little older, they don't mind Chunfen, so why should we? A family like that doesn't have sisters-in-law or younger sisters-in-law, and the population is simple, so it's perfect for Chunfen to marry into."
"That family is willing to pay five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, which shows how much they value the Spring Equinox. It would be a shame to miss out on such a good family."
Chunfen's mother was still a little worried: "Even if a man is a little older, as long as he can afford the betrothal gift, he will have no trouble finding a wife. Why would their family be willing to marry Chunfen?"
Mrs. Xu was impatient: "Chunfen is strong, capable of working, and honest. I think she is no worse than others. Why is there no one willing to marry her? You sigh every day when others are unhappy. Now that someone is willing, you are suspicious again. Then why doesn't Chunfen just stay single for the rest of her life?"
"this--"
Xu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.
Maybe it's really like what my daughter-in-law said, that it's the time of the Spring Equinox?
Xu was happy now.
She went to Xu Zhichun's house and told him about this, saying that Chunfen would not work here anymore and would go back to get married. Seeing Xu Zhichun's stunned expression, Xu felt a sense of relief.
"Sister-in-law, whose family is Chunfen talking about? Which village? Is that family really interested in marrying Chunfen? Will they treat her well?"
Mrs. Xu snorted, half laughing, "They are a family from Bakou Village. Although their family background is very ordinary, they are absolutely sincere in wanting to marry Chunfen. I guess they value her strength and ability to work. This is understandable. To be honest, who would marry her without valuing her strength? We are her family, how could we harm her?"
Xu Zhichun could feel Xu's hostility and sarcasm. Although she was confused about the reason, she accepted it calmly.
Who can make everyone like him?
Many times there is no reason to like someone, and the same goes for dislike someone.
Maybe Xu simply hated her.
"Congratulations! When I go out on the Spring Equinox, I will definitely give you a generous gift."
Xu may have been indifferent to Chunfen, but her aunt really loved her daughter and would not have agreed to her marriage if she was not a good family. Chunfen was different from herself, she was indeed going to get married.
Just take better care of her in the future.
If her husband's family is willing, I can still hire her to work.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhichun felt more at ease.
Chunfen herself was unwilling to leave, "I don't want to get married, I want to stay at Sister Zhichun's house!"
