Chapter 160 The Comparative Heart is Strong
An elegant male voice came from behind. Jiang Huailiang was so busy comforting his wife that he didn't even bother to look back at the person who came.
Xu quickly stepped out of her husband's arms and stood still, then wiped her face with a handkerchief and greeted him with a hoarse voice.
"Lord Qin."
Qin Zhenning nodded to her.
"You don't need to worry too much. Wan Jie'er is not the kind of weak-willed person. If Li Chengxiu really dares to do something heartless and disloyal, she will definitely not show mercy. Besides,"
He raised his chin and pointed at the burly man next to him.
"Don't we still have me and Lao Jiang? With the two of us squatting nearby and watching over him, how could we let the child capsize in the ditch?"
"Hmph, you are you and I am me, don't drag me together with your pretty boy!"
Looking down at the pair of ugly shoes on the man's feet, Lao Jiang snorted.
"Hey, you're already putting your precious shoes on? I'd say you're a bad person. How can you just put on the shoes that a big girl has worked so hard to make? You have to make a board and pay tribute to her."
Old Qin shook his feet proudly.
"Are you jealous? You know that what I wear looks better than what you wear, right?
If I tell you that I received two pairs of shoes as a New Year gift before the New Year, so that I can alternate between them, will you be even more anxious?
"Bah, you're talking like no one has!"
A real man who never loses face or fights, with his big eyes staring with a fierce look.
"Not only do I have two pairs of shoes from the eldest girl, but I also have two pairs of insoles from the second girl!"
Old Qin took two steps calmly.
"Oh, you don't dress as well as I do."
Old Jiang continued to glare.
"My daughter told me yesterday that she would make me some every year. I can never wear them all. I can never wear them all! What can you compare me with?"
"Tsk, you don't look as good as me."
"I'm her father!"
"Well, you don't dress as well as I do anyway."
"Get out!"
The strong man, who had been subjected to severe verbal attacks, felt aggrieved and wanted to hit him, but was stopped by his wife beside him with a look.
Xu's sadness about parting has been diluted now, but she can't help but feel a headache when she sees these two men who are both striving to be a hundred years old and always competing with each other over trivial matters.
Sure enough, what the eldest girl said was right. The job of a master of balancing things requires a certain level of technical skills, and not everyone can do it well.
"That's enough, both of you. Can't you talk about something serious? Why are you talking about useless things all day long?"
He turned his head and looked at Qin Zhenning.
"Since you're already here, why didn't you come out to see me off? After all, we're old friends, so even if outsiders knew about it, it wouldn't be too outrageous."
"Why bother with complications?"
Old Qin looked in the direction his daughter had just left. The intersection was already empty, but his eyes were still filled with a loving smile.
"As long as she's okay, it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."
Looking down at the clean tips of his shoes, the smile in his eyes almost warmed the entire chilly spring season.
"Look, someone is thinking about me too."
These words made people feel a little sad. Xu thought back to many years ago. At that time, the man opposite was not the current Lord Qin. He was just a young man who was always attentive to his sister and would be teased by her at every turn.
Fate, as a thing, not only arbitrarily divides life and death among people, but also makes the happiness of many people remain forever in the past.
"Brother-in-law, you have to take care of yourself too."
After many years, Qin Zhenning suddenly felt a little aggrieved when he heard the younger sister of the Xu family call him that again.
"I'm still your brother-in-law, but your sister is no longer with me. I thought I'd never be able to have any relationship with her in this life. Sister Yu, thank you for calling me that again."
"Don't say that. You and my sister have already gone through most of the six ceremonies. If it weren't for the unexpected event that forced us to stop the marriage, you would have been the son-in-law of my Gaoyang Xu family. Even if you don't have the official status now, my sister will still recognize you."
Xu was a real tearful woman, especially after her husband returned alive from the battlefield. Perhaps because she had someone to dote on her again, she seemed to be more easily moved by the past than when she was a widow.
"When we fled the capital, my sister took the marriage certificate with her. Later, when we were buried, I put your marriage certificate in the coffin."
Qin Zhenning listened and laughed, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"I don't know how many times I've said thank you to you two.
But little sister, I still want to say this again today. I, Qin Zhenning, owe you my whole life.
Thank you so much, sister and brother-in-law."
"Well, why are you saying those foreign words?"
Although Old Jiang is usually very arrogant when defending his position as the legitimate father, every time he sees Old Qin's miserable look, he feels that the other party is really too miserable.
"Well, don't be upset. Just listen to me. There are actually solutions to the problems in the future."
He came over, stretched out his big hand, and put his arm around Lao Qin's shoulders, acting like a good brother. They huddled together and whispered to each other, giving random advice.
"Although we definitely can't bring up the matter of status openly, other things can still be worked around a bit.
Listen to me, I dug a really big grave for myself back home. Originally, I planned to have Sister Yu and I lie down in it after we died, so Sister Jin wouldn't be lonely sharing the same grave with us.
Now isn't this you showing up again?
If it really doesn't work out, I'll just bury you in my family's ancestral tomb after you die. My grave is big enough anyway, so I don't mind squeezing in a bunch of your bones.
Then the four of us can play mahjong without having to find anyone else to help us. Isn't that exciting?"
"Jiang Huailiang, shut up!"
Mrs. Xu was often so angry that she wanted to vomit blood because of this fool in her family who had a big head but not a big brain.
"That's the Jiang family's ancestral tomb! His last name is Qin, what relationship does he have with your Jiang family? My sister is your first and legitimate wife in name only, so you want her to marry in the Jiang family's ancestral tomb?"
After scolding her husband, she quickly turned her head away, moved the corners of her mouth embarrassedly, and forced a smile to apologize for him.
"Master Qin, I'm sorry."
At this time, she didn't dare to call him brother-in-law anymore and recalled the past. Xu smiled a little awkwardly.
"My husband is a warrior from a farming family, and he doesn't quite understand the aristocratic tradition of treating death as life.
He didn't mean to make you betray the family, he just said a few random words out of his heart, so you must not take it personally with such a rude person."
"No, don't think too much."
Qin Zhenning's words were polite, but the light in his eyes was clearly dancing restlessly. When the cold wind blew, it sparkled.
