After the Su family left, Qin Xiang was completely in no mood to do anything. She always felt that her mother was too cowardly and too protective of her natal family, especially after her natal family sold her when the family suffered a disaster. After coming to the door, we made peace easily.
But now it seems that Su's life was very difficult when she was a child. The Su family had dared to plunder the Su family unscrupulously for so many years, and they must have threatened her with that matter just like today.
Qin Xiang didn't know Su's family, nor did she understand these things, let alone comfort her carefully.
In her previous life, Qin Xiang had always been deaf to the outside world. She only wanted to practice the piano well and read more books so that she could be praised by her father. At that time, both my mother and myself were burdened by their identities, and they had become obsessed with returning to the Qin family.
But why there is such obsession is because Qin Xiongfei has always told them how good the Qin family is and what they will get when they go back. In this way, Qin Xiongfei's hint has really become the only one for the mother and daughter who have little experience. Target.
Qin Xiongfei hasn't come yet, and Qin Xiang's heart is getting less and less calm. Waiting is always the most torturous. What's more, in addition to her hatred for Qin Xiongfei, she also has deep fear. Besides, it's hard to say whether Aunt Sang can continue to stop Qin Xiongfei.
Qin Xiongfei hadn't come yet, so the next day, Qin Xiang took Lanhua and Lian'er to continue making bath beans and hair oil.
Lian'er's mother came over and took away some bath beans made from simple materials. Xiao Chenyu's stall is now being used by her. Although Xuanmiao Temple becomes deserted after the Lantern Festival, there are still some people coming and going every day, and The news about Lian'er's mother selling bath beans and hair oil in Xuanmiao Temple gradually spread. Now there are repeat customers one after another, and the life of Lian'er's family has gradually stabilized.
Lian'er's brother Huzi had not been seen for several days. Qin Xiang said that he had sent him to do something and would be back in a few days. Although Lian Er's mother was worried, she did not dare to say anything for fear of upsetting Qin Xiang. Huzi and Lian'er continued to follow her.
Liu Xi came again the next day.
There were traces of being beaten on his face. Although he was smiling, there was not much joy in his eyes.
"Who were you beaten by? A member of the Yanzi family?" Perhaps it was because of Xiao Chenyu that Qin Xi became more concerned about Liu Xi.
"No, I'm dad." Liu Xi spoke a little dull.
The father he mentioned was Uncle Liu. Although he insisted on not changing his surname to Xiao, he still called Uncle Liu his father on weekdays.
"Why did he hit you?" Qin Xi asked again.
"Because I broke off the engagement. It turned out that they had planned that if I got married, I could build a house next to my house, and the land in the middle would become his. Now everything has come to nothing, so he took action."
Qin Xiang looked at the limp package in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Did you run away from home?"
Liu Xi sat down and threw the package on the ground, wiped her face and said, "Actually, I wanted to leave for a long time, but I was worried about my mother. I was afraid that once I left, no one would help her."
"Although I left home in a rage this time, I felt very happy."
Although, Qin Xi couldn't see any happiness on his face.
After thinking for a while, Qin Xi asked: "Then what are your plans next?"
Liu Xi lowered his head, wondering whether he was thinking about the future or wondering where to go.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Qin Xi: "I'm going to go to the county dock to have a look. My second brother is in the county, so I feel more at ease."
Liu Xi has an inexplicable dependence on Xiao Chenyu. Even when he is looking for something to do, he always wants to go to where Xiao Chenyu is.
Qin Xi thought for a while and said: "I need a delivery person at home, and I also need some physical work. If you are willing, can you help me?"
Although Liu Xi didn't understand what Qin Xiang was talking about doing strenuous work, after all, this was in a town, and there was no need to go to the fields or go up the mountains, so how could there be any strenuous work?
However, Liu Xi was naturally very happy to have a place to stay, and he thanked Qin Xiang for taking him in.
But Qin Xiang's family was full of women, so it was not possible to take Liu Xi in. After thinking about it, Qin Xiang asked him to go to Xuanmiao Temple to find the Taoist priest, saying that he was Xiao Chenyu's brother, and to stay with him for a few days until things were settled here. Then arrange accommodation.
Liu Xi's check-in at Xuanmiao Temple was very smooth, and she happened to live in the same room that Xiao Chenyu had before his marriage.
The next day, Liu Xi delivered the goods and successfully brought back a sum of money, which made Liu Xi puzzled: Didn't they all say that the big shopkeepers outside looked down on others, so why did he hear that he was working for Xiao from Fushui Town? When he came to deliver the goods, the shopkeeper was very polite. As for the price, he had already negotiated with Xiao Chenyu. Liu Xi only had to deliver the goods and wait for the other party to complete the acceptance, take the money and leave.
It was still early, so Liu Xi went to the county academy. Unfortunately, the management here was strict and no one was allowed in. He was only willing to help with a message. Liu Xi asked someone to send a message to Xiao Chenyu, saying that everything was going well for him and that everyone at home was doing well. The matter has been resolved, and now he is helping his sister-in-law.
Qin Xiongfei finally arrived.
He brought with him about ten servants, all of whom were strong men. It seemed that he was determined to teach Qin Xiang a lesson.
Qin Xi stood under the eaves of the hall, looking at her father coldly.
Qin Xiongfei had not seen his daughter for four or five years, but he did not expect that, as Aza said, she was very outstanding.
However, this look is not like the look in a daughter's eyes when she sees her father. It is as if there is enmity between them. There is no admiration, only vicious resentment.
The moment she saw Qin Xiongfei, Qin Xiang knew that she couldn't pretend to be gentle and virtuous, so she simply stopped pretending.
Qin Xiongfei walked straight into the main room, where Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting in the main seat, looking at Qin Xiang who followed him and sat on the left side with a cold and sinister look.
"Qin Xiang, you have really grown up. Your wings have become stronger and your courage has grown stronger." Qin Xiongfei leaned on the back of his chair. Although he felt that Qin Xiang was a little different, he still did not take her to heart.
"Why did my father say this? There has been no news from my father for many years. Why did he never ask how my mother was? How are we doing? But he ignored the unreasonable scolding, which made my daughter a little scared."
Qin Xiongfei laughed loudly and said, "Are you scared? It's a joke. Tell me, why did you tie Aza, why did you send Afu to the county government office, and why did you dare to marry privately?"
The corner of Qin Xiang's mouth curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared. She looked at Qin Xiongfei calmly and explained one by one: "First, Aza is disrespectful to me. No matter what, I am also his master, but he He treats me like a despicable person, how can I bear it?"
"Secondly, Ah Fu led a group of rough men into my home. Those men even insulted me and tried to kidnap me in front of me. If I didn't send them to the county government, I'm afraid that I would not only have a bad reputation now. If I don’t protect myself, I won’t even know where I’m going. Dad, should I just let it go or should I protect myself?”
