Luo Qiao had only heard about He Qing's family before, but had never met anyone from her family.
Xu Yuqing and Yuan Weiben were greeting guests inside. When they heard the noise at the door, they hurried over there.
Yuan Weicheng was wearing a neat military uniform: "Shifan, He Qing, what is this?"
He Qing hurriedly introduced: "Sister, brother-in-law, this is my mother and my stepfather, the one in the back is my half-brother, and the ones next to him are my stepfather's cousins."
Yuan Weicheng's presence at that station put a lot of pressure on them invisibly, and they no longer had their previous arrogance.
Xu Yuqing said, "Uncle, aunt, please come in. We have been waiting for you."
He gave his brother a wink, telling him that no matter what, nothing could go wrong today, and led these people directly into the private room that had been prepared in advance.
Yuan Weicheng was entrusted with an important task, and his task today was to accompany He Qing's family.
Yuan Weicheng looked at Xu Yuqing who was standing aside and was taking credit for nothing.
Xu Yuqing rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, with an expression that meant, "Just try it if you mess it up."
Seeing my brother-in-law's expression that said 'it's all up to you today', I had no choice but to accept my fate and take on this tough job.
However, when he was about to use his skills to deal with these people, someone from He Qing's biological father's side also came. When he heard that someone from his stepfather's side had arrived, he took the initiative to ask to sit with them.
So Yuan Weicheng was released, and his stepfather’s people didn’t dare to say a word during the entire engagement process.
Especially He Qing's biological mother, who was humble throughout the whole process and did not dare to raise any requests. She only said that she wished the young couple a happy and harmonious future.
He also promised in front of He Qing's biological father's relatives that he would bring a dowry when He Qing got married.
The engagement banquet was held with great fanfare, and the wedding date was set for the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, so that there would be plenty of time for the smell to vent from the renovated house.
Afterwards, Luo Qiao learned from He Qing that she had called her grandparents in advance, and that the relatives there had not been in contact much in the early years. It was only after she returned to China and visited her grandparents that they started to move around.
And I also learned some things that happened back then. It turned out that He Qing's mother, grandfather and grandmother had signed an agreement. The compensation money from He Qing's father, the family savings, and the money from the sale of a house by He Qing's father were all taken away by He Qing's mother.
The condition is that she must treat He Qing well, support her education, and prepare a decent dowry in addition to the betrothal gift from the man when they get married.
****** As expected, Xiao Yezi was punished the next day and had to undergo an extra 15 minutes of training. He felt extremely aggrieved when he saw Luo Qiao.
Lu Yichen didn't care whether he felt wronged or not. He mainly wanted to punish him for his talkative habit. He was so old, but he always asked his wife for kisses. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would not know his place.
Luo Qiao did not comfort her, but only said: "Eat more breakfast later."
But Xiao Yezi was very depressed, and he muttered: "I am just a poor little thing with no one to love me, like a little cabbage in the field."
This made several people in the yard laugh, but no one comforted him. If he was not punished for his bad habit of talking nonsense, there would be trouble in the future.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one paying attention to him, he could only say: "I will never destroy my mother's stage again, please don't ignore me."
Yueyue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she picked up half a fried dough stick and gave it to him: "Eat it, and be more careful next time."
After dinner, when they went back to the backyard to get something, Lu Yichen said to Luo Qiao, "Sun Yu's case has been sentenced. She was sentenced to five years for both crimes. The man who was with her that night was also sentenced to five years."
Luo Qiao didn't sympathize with such a person at all. It was all her own fault, not to mention that she was trying to throw dirty water on Lu Yichen. She even thought the sentence was too light.
****** Time flies. Yanyan and Yueyue represented the school in the Youth Go Competition and won the first place in the youth group team competition, Yueyue won the first place in the individual competition, and Yanyan won the second place in the individual competition.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The two men came back and took out the trophy and prize money as if they were presenting treasures, asking for praise.
The Luo Qiao couple were not stingy and really praised their two daughters. They also said they would take them to eat Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine on Saturday night. In fact, Saturday was Aunt Rong's birthday.
Just as she heard that a new Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hotel had just opened, Luo Qiao had already booked a private room in advance. She would celebrate Aunt Rong's birthday together and let them taste the flavors of their hometown.
Several children cheered.
Aunt Rong was sitting aside and heard Luo Qiao talking about Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. She thought of that day and realized that it was to celebrate her birthday.
She looked at Uncle Rong who was sitting next to her. She didn't say anything, but her eyes were red and she felt very warm in her heart.
