It was getting late and Li Ye had gone out.
Even though Lou Xiao'e knew which village Qin Huairu was in, she could not go over.
He wanted to, but he was powerless.
.....
Late at night.
Qin Huairu had also reached home rather late. It was still quite a distance from the countryside to the city.
They were still on the road.
Meanwhile, Qin Yong had been waiting for his son and daughter, Qin Huairu, to return home.
Mrs. Qin's head was wrapped in a cloth. It was obvious that she had just returned from working in the fields.
Clang!
She placed the shovel at the corner of the door.
"Old Qin, how was it? Have you told Huai Ru? She should have agreed to marry into the city!”
"Sigh, don't say anymore. When I went to the city, I met my in-laws and they scolded me!”
Qin Yong pulled a long face and walked around the city. In the end, he had wasted his time and had yet to see his daughter.
"Why? Aren't we going to look for our daughter? Why are we going to the in-laws 'house?”
Mrs. Qin took off the cloth and entered the house. She was still covered in mud from the field.
However, he didn't care and sat beside Qin Yong.
"It makes me angry when I talk about it. Huairu doesn't think well of this marriage and even ran to the in-laws 'courtyard house to live with a girl called Lou Xiao'e.”
Qin Yong said what he knew, frowning.
"Not optimistic? Why did he change his mind? Everything was fine before! Old Qin, we've already received the money. Have you called Huai Ru back? I want to talk to her properly. How good is it to marry into the city? If the villagers want to marry into the city, they can't!”
The moment she heard Qin Huairu's objection to the marriage, her expression changed.
"I didn't see her, but I heard from the people in the courtyard that she's back. This wretched girl is really causing trouble for us. That in-law even said that she couldn't do it and asked us to refund the money.”Qin Yong was a little unhappy.
"Refund the money? That won't do. The family can't even make a living, and you still want to return the money!？”
"I think so too! However, don't mention money in front of the child. It won't be good if word gets out.”
Qin Yong instructed.
"Go and make some food. My stomach is empty.”
Mrs. Qin patted the mud off her body and walked to the kitchen.
At this moment, outside the courtyard.
Qin Huairu was carrying some meat in her hands. Lou Xiao'e had bought it for her.
He wanted her to bring it back as a greeting gift for Qin Huairu's parents.
Qin Huairu also declined, but in the end, she still accepted it.
After all, it was good to bring some meat back after a trip to the city.
She also recognized Lou Xiao'e as her sister.
However, when she stepped into the house.
She saw her father at the dining table.
He even looked at her unhappily.
"Father, I'm back. Have you eaten dinner yet?？”
"Come back, you still know how to come back. Tell me, what did you do in the city?”Qin Yong asked.
"Didn't I go to look for a job?"
"Find a job! It's good that you're looking for a job. If your mother works alone, who's going to cook at home? Tell me honestly, where did you go?" Qin Yong was also furious.
Faced with Qin Yong's question, Qin Huairu felt that her father definitely knew something. There was no point in hiding it, so it was best to be honest.
"I went to Jia Da Yong's house, but it wasn't his house. It was the same courtyard. I met a friend in the city, and she brought me there.”
Qin Huairu lifted the meat in her hand.
"This meat was given to us by my friend.”
"Humph! Wretched girl, it's fine if you go to her courtyard, but what did you do to make her so angry?”Qin Yong asked.
"I just said some things truthfully.”Qin Huairu felt wronged.
"Father, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Call off the engagement.”
"What? You wretched girl, I haven't even settled the score with you about going to the in-law's courtyard. You're telling me that you're not getting married? No, the engagement has already been set for you. There's no reason to break off the engagement.”
Hearing his daughter's words, Qin Yong directly refused.
He had accepted the money, so his daughter was considered to have been sold to the Jia family.
How could he spit out the money that he had put in his bag?
Wasn't she just a daughter? A married woman was like water that had been poured out. How could he expect her to support him in his old age?
Mrs. Qin also walked out of the kitchen.
"Huairu, you're right. The partner I found for you is from the city. This is a good thing that you can't even beg for, but you're clinging on to it. Why aren't you getting married? What are you thinking?”
Mrs. Qin also advised.
"But, I stayed in the courtyard for a day or two. That Jia family mother and son have bad hearts, and I don't want to marry them.”
Qin Huairu knew that her parents did not like her. She was a daughter, so she did not want to jump into another quagmire from this family that had disappointed her.
She still wanted to escape this family and find a good family to marry.
Qin Yong had also seen Jia Zhangshi's foul mouth, so he understood his daughter's meaning, but this did not make him change his mind.
"Evil heart? A city person could take a fancy to a country bumpkin like you, but you picked someone else.”
"But I just don't want to get married!"
Mother Qin was also anxious. It seemed that her daughter had made up her mind.
Just a moment ago, she was still acting like a loving mother, but she immediately changed.
"Wretched girl, we've already decided on this marriage. It can't be changed. Aren't you staying in the Jia family's courtyard? Why are you back? Go to the Jia family!”
"Mother!" Qin Huairu's face was pale. She had not expected her father to be like this. Now, even her mother had the same expression.
When Qin Yong heard his wife say this, he also cursed angrily,""I've already told my in-law to let you go to the Jia family's house tomorrow!”
"I'm not going!" Qin Huairu's tears also rolled down.
Why would she be willing to marry into the Jia family? What was wrong with her parents?
"Wretched girl, you're still fighting. Get out now. If you don't go to the Jia family, don't come back. I'll talk to my relatives. They won't take you in.”Qin Yong's expression changed immediately.
"Father, Mother!" Qin Huairu grabbed Qin Yong's hand.
In the end, he threw her over!
"I don't have a daughter like you. Get out!”
The voice was very loud.
It had directly shattered the last line of defense in Qin Huairu's heart.
He knew that it was useless to say anything else.
He placed the meat on the table and dragged his heavy steps out of his house.
Qin Yong immediately closed the door.
It didn't sound like he was speaking out of anger at all.
Qin Huairu could not understand why things had turned out this way!
She would not go to the Jia family. The other relatives did not like her either, so she could not go. The only thing on her mind now was Lou Xiao'e.
