" So

this time when Qingqing went to the city, I didn't give her a penny."

It wasn't until this sentence was said that everyone reacted.

"Qingqing is the youngest sister in the family and the only girl. We usually treat her with pampering... Forget it, let's not talk about the past, but Qingqing has become more and more sensible recently. I don't know how much injustice she suffered today that people compensated her with the cake. Qingqing didn't keep it for herself, but brought it all back to share with everyone."

“Brothers and sisters should live in harmony. If there is anything, say it face to face. Don’t keep it in your heart. Otherwise, the problem will grow bigger and affect the harmony. Old Liang and I have lived our whole life to have a happy and harmonious family. You should not let us live in unrest when we are old.”

After she finished speaking, Ma Xiuzhi deliberately glanced at Liang Junqiang. The latter’s face flushed. Even if he was dull, he understood it now and quickly responded, “Yes!”

Ma Xiuzhi nodded. “If there is anything, just say it in time. Don’t wait until the misunderstanding becomes big. It will be too late then…”

“Mom, I have something to say.” Liang Qingqing immediately raised her hand and smiled.

Unexpectedly, Liang Qingqing took over her conversation so quickly. Ma Xiuzhi was stunned for a moment before she subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Qingqing had already organized her words, and took this opportunity to speak directly: "Mom, Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother, I have wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but I never found the chance."

"Like mom said, let's not talk about the past. I was young and my mind was not clear at that time. I did a lot of stupid things and caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry!"

Liang Qingqing said as she stood up straight and bowed solemnly. Although it was the original owner who did it, now that she was here, she still had to say these words of apology.

This series of actions startled Wang Xiaomei who was standing by and she quickly reached out and held her arm, "Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Really? Why are you saying these things suddenly? We never felt that you were causing us trouble, we are all family!"

"Did you encounter something? Tell your second brother and he will help you solve it."

Hearing these caring words, Liang Qingqing's eyes were inexplicably sour. It took her a long time to finally hold back the tears, and she smiled and shook her head and said, "Thank you!"

"I'm fine, I just figured out a lot of things recently, and I want to work in the fields. Although I don't have much strength and can't earn too many work points, it's good to help reduce the burden on the family a little."

"I also want to contribute to this family!"

After saying these words, Liang Qingqing felt relieved, but the others looked as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they heard.

Ma Xiuzhi was the first to react, "Qingqing, are you really okay?"

"I'm really fine!" Liang Qingqing turned around helplessly and explained, "I'm an adult, and it's time for me to do something on my own. Otherwise, what will I do in the future? I can't always rely on you, right?"

"Did someone say something to you?"

Ma Xiuzhi frowned, thinking about it and thinking about it, she could only think of this possibility. At the same time, Huang Shumin's face appeared in her mind. It seemed that Qingqing had started to become strange since she married into the family. Although they were all good changes, what happened today was really too abnormal.

"No, what can I say? Besides, even if I say something, I can't figure it out myself, how can others force me to do it?"

That's true.

Ma Xiuzhi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Liang Xueyong, "It's a good thing that Qingqing has come to her senses. Don't make things complicated. I think it's good. The girl is also at the age where she should learn something."

The last sentence successfully shut Ma Xiuzhi up.

Although she didn't want to mention it, Liang Qingqing was indeed at the age to get married. They had planned to start worrying about her after they settled the second child's marriage.

No matter how they looked at their daughter, she looked so well-behaved, and no one at home would dare to make her angry.

But every girl has to get married, and no one will be used to her when she goes to her husband's house. If she doesn't know how to do anything, even if they are embarrassed to not say anything in front of her, they will still criticize her and gossip about her behind her back.

Besides, they can't be with Qingqing for the rest of her life. She will have to live and manage her own household in the future, and she will have to learn to work, so learning early will only benefit her.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiuzhi nodded and said that she would ask the team leader to see if he could arrange a relatively easier job for her.

When Liang Qingqing heard this, her eyes lit up. She smiled sweetly and hugged Ma Xiuzhi coquettishly. At the same time, she gave Liang Junqiang a look: "Second brother, why don't you go and see the second sister-in-law."

Liang Junqiang came back to his senses and subconsciously looked in the direction of Ma Xiuzhi. Seeing her nod, he trotted out.

The sky was already dark, and the evening breeze was blowing with warm and moist air, suggesting that there would be a sudden rain soon.

The room was right in front of him, but Liang Junqiang backed out. His steps suddenly slowed down, and he clasped his hands in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to bend his knuckles and knocked on the door, and whispered: "Wife?"

After waiting for a while, it was still as quiet as before, as if no one was there.

Seeing this, Liang Junqiang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, raised his hand and knocked on the door again, this time his tone was even softer: "Shumin, I'm coming in?"

This time he finally got a response.

"What for?"

From the tone, it seemed that she was still angry.

"Are you okay? I came in to see you." Liang Junqiang didn't wait for Huang Shumin to answer, and pushed the door open directly. Fortunately, she didn't lock the door, and the door opened lightly. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the figure lying on the bed with the light outside the door, and now she was facing away from him and motionless.

"Shall I pour you a cup of hot water?"

"No!"

"Shall I get you a towel to wipe your face before you go to sleep?"

"No!"

Hearing this, Liang Junqiang pinched the back of his neck, and thought of his mother's words and expression just now. He was suddenly overwhelmed. Obviously there was a misunderstanding, but how to explain it? You can't make it too clear, but if you don't make it clear, you can't explain it clearly. Isn't this embarrassing! After

a moment of hesitation, Liang Junqiang felt that it was much easier to go up the mountain and cut down fifty trees.

Huang Shumin, who was lying on the bed, bit her lower lip. After a long time without waiting for Liang Junqiang's next words, she secretly glanced at him with the corner of her eye, and saw that he was distracted, with a dazed expression, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

In this situation, he could actually think of other things. He really didn't care about her at all! Thinking of this, the grievance that had been suppressed in her heart suddenly burst out, and tears fell one after another.

"Liang Junqiang, are you standing there as a door god? Get out."

This roar successfully called Liang Junqiang back to his senses. Hearing her crying voice, he didn't care about anything else. He was so panicked that he rushed to the edge of the bed in three or two steps and asked nervously: "Why are you crying?"

"You are crying!" Huang Shumin wanted to hide her face, but Liang Junqiang, this idiot, was incredibly strong. She tried many times but failed to break free.

"Okay, okay, I cried." The rough fingertips rubbed her face, causing her tears to shed more and more.

Liang Junqiang didn't dare to move when he saw this. He waited until Huang Shumin was tired of crying before he carefully took out the egg cake from his pocket. "I saw that you didn't finish your meal just now. Are you not full? Eat this egg cake."

"I don't want to eat it!" The tears that had finally stopped came out again. She was really mad at him.

"My younger sister brought it back for us to eat. Are you really not going to eat it?"

"No!" If she ate it, wouldn't it be equivalent to bowing to the bad atmosphere of this family? In the future, her parents will only be more partial to Liang Qingqing. Maybe she will even have to lie down and let this lazy sister-in-law suck her blood!

Liang Junqiang rolled his eyes and suddenly sighed heavily. Seeing Huang Shumin turned around and looked at him, he pretended to be worried and said, "You really don't want to eat it? It will probably be hard to eat it in the future."

"Our family has never bought such good things before, otherwise..."

Liang Junqiang briefly repeated the origin of the egg cake, and also mentioned that Liang Qingqing told everyone that she was going to work. Of course, some of the words implied Huang Shumin, but he did not say them for the sake of the stability of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"What?"

Her parents did not give Liang Qingqing money. The egg cake was not bought by her, but compensated by others.

Liang Qingqing will go to the fields to earn work points starting tomorrow?

The amount of information was too much. Huang Shumin was stunned for a long time and even thought that Liang Junqiang had made it up to fool her. She thought so in her heart and asked.

"Why would I lie to you? My parents have almost spent all their savings during this period. How can they give money to my younger sister?"

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Huang Shumin's eyelashes trembled and she felt guilty.

Even if Liang Junqiang didn't say it directly, but during this period, except for their marriage, the family didn't spend a lot of money, and...

because there was a younger brother who was about to get married, so when asking for the bride price, her mother temporarily added a lot of things to the agreed basis.

This was not a decent thing to do. If it was another family, they would have given up and looked for someone else. It didn't matter who they married.

But the Liang family did not break their promise. Seeing that the two young people liked each other, Liang's father and mother were afraid that she would have a bad reputation because of this and would have trouble getting married in the future, so they nodded and took the loss. They married her in a grand manner.

After the marriage, the Liang family never mentioned this matter again and gave her enough respect.

They were so good to her, but she actually threw a tantrum in front of the elders because of a misunderstanding. It was really wrong!
