Ke Xin raised her arm to interrupt his chattering. She really didn't want to hear any more bad things about her parents from him.
"My parents are honest people, they can't be compared with bad people like you."
Wang Zhihe laughed sarcastically. "So what if we can't compare? In the end, you still come to beg me."
This is absolutely true, Ke Xin admitted her mistake.
Outside the door, after hearing her father's words, Wang Yu burst into tears in disappointment. She really didn't know that her father would have such thoughts before. Even if she got married, she would never leave her father alone.
Ke Xin walked out of the room and saw Wang Yu crying silently. She asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Wang Yu wiped the tears from his face and nodded: "I will marry you."
"But...my father..."
Ke Xin followed Wang Yu's gaze and saw Wang Zhihe standing at the door, his dim eyes shining with light, looking at them with a smile.
"As long as you marry me, I will take care of your father's affairs."
Wang Yu nodded fiercely and turned away silently, feeling chilled and even more heartbroken. She had never imagined that her filial father would use such means to control her.
Ke Xin walked up to Wang Zhihe and said, "Tell me the conditions for marrying your daughter."
Wang Zhihe sneered: "A two-story house, a thousand taels of betrothal gift, and a hundred acres of good farmland. I won't marry you if you don't have any of them."
This high amount of betrothal gift is probably the first time to be seen in Jinping Town.
Ke Xin looked at him with a smile: "You asked for a lot of things. I can give them to you, but I didn't get what I wanted."
He frowned in confusion, and after thinking for a while, he finally understood what it meant. He immediately said, "As long as you can give me this betrothal gift, no matter what happens in the future, I will not cause any trouble to Wang Yu."
This was what Ke Xin wanted to hear. She nodded and said, "But words alone are not enough. We need written evidence."
"No problem, you write and I'll take my fingerprints."
Seeing her father being so shameless, selling herself out to get what he wanted, Wang Yu suddenly wanted to die. She immediately interrupted their conversation and said, "Village Chief An, I won't get married. This high betrothal gift doesn't mean we can unite our two families, it means we have to sell me out."
Ke Xin: "It's just some material possessions. If we lose money, we can earn more."
"No...I will never get married in this life. I won't let him succeed." Wang Yu's stubborn temper came up and ten cows couldn't pull him back.
After saying this, she looked at the stunned Wang Zhihe with a determined look on her face: "Dad, don't worry. I can't guarantee that you'll have enough to eat every day, but I won't abandon you like my eldest brother did. I will serve you until you die. You gave birth to me, and I will take care of you until the end of your life."
After saying that, Wang Yu picked up the things that Ke Xin brought, tearfully asked the person to leave, and resolutely closed the door.
In the yard, Ke Xin heard Wang Zhihe's desperate words: "I want to eat meat, I want to be full, I want money, I want to be served, what do I need you to do..."
"You don't have to be a good father, but I want to be a good daughter."
After hearing this, Jasmine really wanted to tear Wang Zhihe's face off. She looked at Kexin and said, "Young Madam, how does Miss Wang plan to get through this?"
Ke Xin looked at the closed door and sighed softly: "As long as Wang Zhihe is not dead, I guess Miss Wang will never get married."
unless....
As the group was about to leave, they ran into Hao Chang, the village chief of Lingjia Village, with a man beside him who had a scholarly demeanor.
Hao Chang walked over with a smile and said, "I heard from the villagers that my niece is here. I was wondering if the magpie was calling towards me early this morning."
Emma, if you were a little more kind and gave some food to the magpie, the bird would circle around you. In the end, would you think you were a phoenix?
Ke Xin smiled politely: "Village Chief Hao has happy events every day. Just look at your smiling face and you'll know."
Calling her niece right away is a bit too quick to become so familiar with her.
Even if Hao Yueqing is his cousin's wife, so what!
Hao Chang was a smart man, so he understood what Ke Xin said, but he chose to ignore it: "We're already in the village, so why not go home and cook for a while? It's just the right time for your aunt to make you something delicious."
"Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief Hao, but I'm in a hurry to go back to my parents' home to discuss building a workshop, so I won't bother you anymore."
Ke Xin, who didn't have much patience, helped Haitang into the carriage after she finished speaking. Hao Chang reached out to pull Ke Xin to talk, but was frightened by the sword in Jasmine's hand.
"Village Chief Hao, the sword in my hand has no eyes."
Jasmine raised the sword in her hand and watched Hao Chang take two steps back in embarrassment. Then she drove the carriage away. Gao Hai, who had no time to say a word during the whole process, just looked at the departing carriage.
If...if I had married her then, maybe our family would be different now...
Returning to Anjia Village, the village was the same as usual. Except for the bustling greenhouse, the rest of the place was very quiet.
Jiang family.
As soon as Ke Xin got off the carriage, Liu Feiyang came out to greet her: "Where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?"
"I went to Lingjia Village and was delayed for a while."
Speaking of Lingjia Village, Liu Feiyang asked quietly, "How's it going? Is the marriage going to be settled?"
"No, the situation is quite complicated. Find someone to keep an eye on Wang Zhihe from Lingjia Village."
Liu Feiyang responded: "Oh, come in, Dad, Mom, and Grandpa are waiting."
She didn't see her parents the last time she came back. This time, when she heard that they hadn't gone to work but were waiting for her, Ke Xin felt like a hungry bird returning to its cage.
When they were still some distance away from the main hall, Ke Xin called out, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, I'm back."
Hearing the voice, Jiang Wuli stood up from his chair and walked forward with a smile, looking at the third son and his wife as he walked: "See, Kexin called me first!"
Ge Shuzhen smiled happily and said, "Yes, yes, what Ke Xin misses most is you, Dad."
The wrinkles on the proud Jiang Wuli's face were all broken by his smile. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the main hall, he ran into Kexin. The grandfather and grandson were grinning foolishly at the door: "Grandpa, why don't you come in?"
After I asked, I heard Ge Shuzhen come out from behind my grandfather and said, "I'm here to pick you up."
"mother!"
Ke Xin helped her grandfather into the house and saw that her parents were in good health. Their faces had gained some flesh and they looked radiant. They no longer looked like little old men, but more like a wealthy man.
"Dad, Mom, I brought you some winter melons when I came back this time. Please send some to my eldest and second uncles' homes later."
Ge Shuzhen smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, Feiyang sent a few of these winter melons over the other day, and the whole family ate them and praised you!"
Hearing her mother say this, Ke Xin was surprised for a moment, and then she realized that this must have been sent by her husband. She looked at Fei Yang with gratitude, but who knew that the boy raised his neck proudly and looked at her proudly.
