Qin Baojun frowned, about to speak, when Wang Guihua stepped forward and said first: "Stop pretending. Aren't you tired of acting in so many plays over the years? I don't care what you and Ma Guizhi are plotting this time, but if you don't leave now, don't blame me for personally throwing all this garbage out."
"Do you have the right to speak when I'm talking to my son?" Cui Fengzhen coughed angrily when she saw that Wang Guihua dared to talk back to her.
Wang Guihua, however, was already heartbroken.
She still remembers what happened last time, and knows that kindness only leads to being bullied. Wang Guihua has now completely let go of that.
“This is my home, and I’m the lady of the house. Do you think I have any right to speak here? I’ll give you ten chances. If you don’t take your things away, I’ll just throw them out of the yard.” Wang Guihua suddenly became uncharacteristically tough.
This sudden change made Qin Baojun turn his head. Seeing his wife suddenly change, he felt no dissatisfaction, but rather a sense that perhaps it should have been like this a long time ago.
Cui Fengzhen saw that several people were standing in the courtyard, staring at her menacingly.
After realizing she couldn't stay, she immediately started throwing a tantrum, pointing at the broken teacup she had smashed.
"I can leave, but Qiao Qiqi broke my cup, and you have to pay for it! It's an old item, very valuable, so you have to give me at least 10 yuan!"
"Ten yuan? Is your cup edged with gold?" Qiao Qiqi was so angry that she laughed.
He picked up a piece of the broken piece from the ground and glanced at it. "With such rough workmanship, you call this an old item? Who are you trying to fool? Should we go find someone to take a look? If it really is an old item, I'll compensate you for 100 yuan, let alone 10 yuan."
Cui Fengzhen naturally didn't dare to ask anyone to look into it, but she still wouldn't let it go, "In short, you broke the cup, so you have to compensate me."
"What can you do to me if I don't compensate you?" Seeing that the old man still dared to cause trouble, Qiao Qiqi didn't tolerate it and directly smashed the broken pieces of the cup on the ground. "If you keep bothering me, I will go out immediately and tell the whole town what you did today, so that you will never have the face to show your face in public again."
"You, you, you..." Cui Fengzhen was almost furious.
Qiao Qiqi turned her head immediately and said, "Qin Huai, throw her things over the courtyard wall."
Upon receiving the order, Qin Huai immediately stepped forward.
Cui Fengzhen was terrified. Seeing that the family was serious, she dared not linger any longer, grabbed her bundle, and ran away quickly.
Because he was unwilling to give up, the old man ran outside the gate, and even stood there cursing a few times before running away.
Seeing her arrogant attitude, Qiao Qiqi grabbed a dirt card from the ground and threw it at her, saying, "If you dare to spew filth again, I'll beat you to death!"
"Agh!" Cui Fengzhen screamed in fright, grabbed her bundle, and ran away.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the man who moved with such agility, even more so than a young man, and felt nothing but irony.
She never intended to hit Cui Fengzhen. After all, if she really hurt her, she would be in the wrong even though she was in the right, and she would definitely have to pay for medical expenses. So she was just trying to scare Cui Fengzhen.
Seeing that Cui Fengzhen had really been scared away, Qiao Qiqi turned around and was about to walk back when she accidentally tripped over her right foot with her left and almost fell.
At the crucial moment, a hand quickly reached out from the side.
"Be careful!" Qin Huai's brows were full of tension, and he only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound.
Qiao Qiqi looked up, still shaken, and suddenly remembered that the two of them were still in a cold war.
Thinking of this, she quickly withdrew her hand and deliberately asked with a stern face, "Why are you and Mother back? Aren't you supposed to rest at noon?"
Qin Huai looked at his empty palm, frowned slightly, and said, "It was Aunt Sun who came to the fields to find me and told me about Grandma's visit. I was worried that something might have happened, so I went to call Mother to come back with me. But when we got back, we found out that you had gone to the commune brigade, so Mother and I went to find you."
"oh."
Seeing that Aunt Sun had gone to inform Qin Huai, Qiao Qiqi didn't say anything. She directly said to Wang Guihua and Qin Baojun, "Father and Mother, I have to go back to cook for Chenchen and Xinxin, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, you guys go back now!" Wang Guihua said to her, then looked at Qin Huai and said, "It's almost lunchtime, why don't you eat at home before going to work in the fields!"
Qin Huai nodded, "Okay."
"Then, Father and Mother, we're leaving." After saying that, Qiao Qiqi turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Upon seeing this, Qin Huai immediately followed.
Watching the two children's retreating figures, Wang Guihua suddenly said, "These two children must have had a falling out, otherwise they wouldn't be so distant. Did you see that? When Huai'er helped Qiqi just now, Qiqi immediately pulled her hand back. It's obvious that she doesn't like our Huai'er."
Although Qin Baojun didn't see it, he still said, "That must be because our Huai'er upset Qiqi. When you go to the fields this afternoon, talk to him. Qiqi is such a good girl, and he doesn't even try to coax her properly. He actually dares to make Qiqi angry. He's simply outrageous!"
Wang Guihua looked at her husband in surprise, then smiled as she thought about what had happened that day.
"You've been bribed by your daughter-in-law, and you're even abandoning your own son."
Qin Baojun's face was a little sunburned.
The next second, thinking of what had happened in the commune brigade, a smile reappeared on her face, "You didn't see it, how impressive Qiqi was in the commune brigade today..."
Qin Baojun has been burdened by the concept of filial piety his whole life. Not only do outsiders say he lives a miserable life, but he himself also feels that way.
But at noon today, he suddenly felt that the shackles on his body had disappeared.
I immediately felt relaxed, both inside and out!
He now realizes how comfortable it is not to do things he doesn't want to do.
Whether it was because he had been suppressing his feelings for so many years or because the knot in his heart had finally been untied, Qin Baojun's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears as he spoke.
As Wang Guihua looked at it, she couldn't help but tear up, thinking about all the suffering she had endured in the past.
“Father, now that we’ve taken this step, given Cui Fengzhen and Ma Guizhi’s tempers, they definitely won’t let it go easily. If there are any rumors going around…”
"Rumors are rumors, I have a clear conscience!" Qin Baojun suddenly spoke with unwavering conviction, contrary to his usual demeanor.
Seeing that she had finally witnessed this scene after waiting for so many years, Wang Guihua burst into tears. "Father, I never thought I would live to see this day..."
Seeing his wife showing a rare moment of vulnerability as she threw herself into his arms, Qin Baojun couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Guihua, I'm sorry for all these years. I've made you suffer because of me."
