Aunt Qin San was still waiting for good news from Grandma Qin, but Grandma Qin came over and said, "Big sister, get ready. I've said hello to my mother-in-law. We should leave. If we sit here any longer, they won't be able to do anything." The big sister that Grandma Qin called was Qin Fang's aunt. Aunt
Qin said, "Well, I understand. I'll go call the children."
After the buffet, the women chatted and ate snacks in one room, the men were in another room, and the children were in another room.
Aunt Qin said, and then she walked out the door to another room to call the children. She called all the children. Although boys and girls start to be separated at the age of eight, it is not so particular in the countryside. Generally, it is best to be separated at the age of thirteen or fourteen. As long as the marriage is not announced, it is not so particular. So at this moment, several children in their teens are playing together. Some married people, such as the son of Qin's aunt, naturally went with Qin's uncle.
Qin's aunt called her daughter-in-law again: "You go and call the children, I'll call the eldest son." The eldest son she was talking about was her eldest son.
The daughter-in-law said: "Hey."
Qin's aunt took her daughter-in-law to call people, and Qin's third aunt quickly grabbed Qin's grandmother: "Mom, what about the tadpole matter? Have you told your eldest sister?"
Qin's grandmother said: "What tadpole matter? I'm just saying goodbye to my mother-in-law, let's go."
Qin's third aunt heard this and her face sank: "Mom, you can't do this, you promised the head of the family, why don't you keep your promise on this matter?" Although her voice was soft, she was arguing with Qin's grandmother, and the people around saw it.
Qin's mother pretended not to see it, but she knew what they were arguing about.
Grandpa Qin and his male relatives also came over. Seeing this scene, he frowned and said, "Let's go back."
Grandma Qin replied, "Hey." Then she walked to Grandpa Qin's side.
Grandpa Qin said, "Father-in-law, next time when we come back, you can come again and we can get together again. This time, it will take at least a few years for us to come back." Unless there are special circumstances, such as the second eldest family causing trouble in their hometown. Grandpa Qin thinks that this is the only possibility for them to come back in the next few years.
Grandpa Qin is really happy today. His eldest grandson is promising and he is proud. No matter where he goes, he feels proud. When people get old, they care about face. "When you get there, please write to me. Ah Fang's grandmother is also thinking about Ah Fang every day. She must miss her grandson very much after not seeing him for several years."
Hearing this, Grandma Qin laughed and said, "It's obvious that she misses him."
Grandpa Qin didn't care about her jokes, "Yes, yes, I do."
After the children were all together, the Qin family left. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin personally sent them to the village gate. If it were ordinary in-laws, they would not send them off like this. Because there were so many people, Aunt Qin San couldn't say anything, but after leaving Baili Village, when the Qin family went back, Aunt Qin San pulled Uncle Qin San and started to grumble. "The relationship between Tadpole and Si Ya didn't work out. Mother had promised to persuade eldest sister, but in front of everyone, she didn't say anything."
Uncle Qin San was a bit careless. When he heard what Aunt Qin San said, he didn't take it seriously and said, "It doesn't matter if mother didn't say anything. Tadpole is still young anyway."
Aunt Qin San heard it and pinched his hand, "What are you talking about? Children in their teens are talking about marriage. Do you think it's that easy? Can it be done just by saying it? Besides, Si Ya is out now. If If we don't arrange the marriage, what if someone else arranges it for us?"
The third uncle said, "She is out there now, so we can't arrange it even if we want to." Aunt
Qin said, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. As long as the eldest sister agrees, the marriage is settled. What does Si Ya know? Besides, do you still want to be rich? Do you want to live a good life? As long as Si Ya and Tadpole are married, won't the Qin family take care of Tadpole? Si Ya will definitely have a lot of dowry, but Tadpole will have a lot of dowry. Life has passed, he had a good life, so as a father, don't you have a good life?
And now you see, Qin Fang has become successful, but he took all the Qin family away. We are also relatives, why don't we see him arrange things for us? To put it nicely, he is a relative. We have a general nephew, which is a face, but what is face? Can it be eaten? Don't we have to be careful when eating a few pieces of meat? Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to consider your son. Do you want your son to live like this for the rest of his life? How? Be a farmer? "
Uncle Qin San pondered for a while: "But now we have left, and my eldest sister and the others will also go to Yunxiang County the day after tomorrow. What else can we do? Can we let my father and mother go back? My mother didn't say it at the time, and she certainly won't go back now."
Aunt Qin San's eyes rolled: "I have a way."
Uncle Qin San has always thought that his wife is very smart. Hearing her say this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What way?"
Aunt Qin San waved her hand, and Uncle Qin San whispered over. Aunt
Qin turned her head and saw Uncle Qin San and his wife walking at the back, whispering to each other. She snorted, with a strong disapproval in her eyes, and she also felt that they were ashamed. In broad daylight, the two of them behaved like this, which was really inappropriate. Even if they wanted to whisper, they didn't need to get so close. People who didn't know the situation might think they were doing something.
Of course, she also knew they were not doing anything. Aunt Qin knew that Third Aunt wanted to arrange the marriage between Si Ya and Tadpole. Not to mention Third Aunt Qin, if their eldest wife had a suitable child, she would also have this idea. But it was just a thought. On the one hand, their eldest wife didn't have a suitable child. On the other hand, even a fool would know that the Ding family and the Qin family were no longer from the same family. To get the children of the two families engaged, one must be the type who only cares about the mother's family. But the sister-in-law is not that kind of person. Would she want her to marry her daughter to the Ding family? Dream on.
But looking at the current situation, this thing is definitely not going to happen. She also knew that Qin San's aunt had persuaded Qin's grandmother to propose marriage, and she was afraid that Qin's grandmother would be blinded by the immediate interests and propose marriage. But in fact, she also saw Qin's grandmother go out to look for her sister-in-law. Aunt Qin was curious, so she walked to Grandma Qin and said, "Mom, I'll help you walk."
Grandma Qin glanced at her and said, "No, I'm in good health."
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law and the others are going to Yunxiang County soon. You must be reluctant to leave." Grandma
Qin sighed, "Who said it's not true? Going to such a far place... But don't worry even if you are reluctant. Ah Fang is there. Yueying is going there with her son, not to suffer. To be honest, I didn't expect Yueying to have such a blessing in her life." She is old and can still be an imperial concubine. Isn't this a blessing?
Aunt Qin chuckled: "Sister-in-law is lucky, but you gave birth to him, doesn't that mean you are lucky? Besides, Fang is your legitimate grandson, and if Fang is successful, isn't that a face for you?"
Grandma Qin touched her arms and nodded: "That's right." When she came out just now, her daughter gave her a red envelope, which she didn't want, but her daughter forced it into her. She thought that her daughter was in good condition now, so she would take it. Speaking of which, Yueying is indeed filial. She doesn't ask for anything else now, as long as the children are safe and sound.
Aunt Qin naturally didn't know about the red envelope that Mother Qin gave to Grandma Qin. She said, "Mom, what do you think, if our Ding family and Qin family get closer?"
Grandma Qin was shocked when she heard it: "What did you say?" Aunt Qin
said, "I heard my third brother's wife and third brother talking about letting Tadpole and Si Ya get married. Do you think it's a bad idea?"
Grandma Qin was not a fool. When she heard Aunt Qin's words, she knew she was here to inquire about this matter. She said, "It won't work. Tadpole, if it doesn't work, don't even think about it. What's our status? What's the status of the Qin family now? If we go to get married, won't we just make a fool of ourselves? We should be quiet, and if something happens in the future, Afang will take care of the children out of consideration. If we insist on going in, not only will Afang be ruthless, but even Yueying won't show any consideration." How can her parents' family compare to her own family, how can they compare to her own children? Doesn't she know her own daughter?
Qin's
mother took out all the money in the family, she counted it again and again, feeling very distressed.
Qin's father came in and saw her expression as if she was cutting meat. He couldn't help but asked with a smile, "How much money do we have left?"
Qin's mother said, "Yanyan left us one hundred taels of silver to build the house, and we have thirty taels left. In March last year, when they held the wedding, Yanyan gave ten taels of silver. At the end of last year, they sent a letter back and also sent ten taels of silver... in the form of silver notes. So, not counting the miscellaneous money in our family, Yanyan has given a total of fifty taels of silver. Today, my father wants to give a red envelope to the official who delivered the imperial edict, so I gave him the ten taels of silver note that Yanyan sent back last year. I don't know how much I gave, and too much silver can't fit in. Besides, given our family's current situation, I was lucky to give ten taels of silver note."
Hearing about the ten taels of silver, Qin's father gritted his teeth and felt the same pain. However, he comforted Qin's mother: "Fortunately, the imperial edict is a good thing. I don't know how much merit my son has made to be rewarded with two imperial edicts."
Qin's mother frowned: "It's a good thing, but I haven't seen him yet, and my heart is always up and down. My heart is beating hard. I'm afraid that my son is in danger."
Qin's father said: "Don't worry, I asked Huang Huzi, he said that my son's merit this time is not dangerous, but this matter is confidential and cannot be told."
When Qin's mother heard the confidentiality, she became more worried: "I haven't seen him, I'm always worried."
In a blink of an eye, the day after tomorrow, except for Qin Er's aunt and Erya, all the Qin family set off for Yunxiang County. The first family, the third family, and the second family were Qin Ershu with Niu Dan.
And in Baili Village, there have been rumors about the Qin family.
