"Why not? One day a couple's kindness will last a hundred days. You are my wife, Hou Shixian. This is an indisputable fact."
Hou Shixian stood at the counter, waved his folding fan and said confidently.
Shopkeeper Qin didn't expect him to be so shameless. The two had been separated for more than ten years and had been divorced for two years. They had no relationship for a long time.
"Bah! The documents for Heli are right here. If you still don't leave, I will go to the government to sue you for harassment!"
Her face turned red with anger, and her fair complexion became a bit more delicate and charming. Hou Shixian paused in shaking the fan, and his eyes became a little straight.
Liang Duo's eyes were cold and he moved lightly to block his sight.
"Huixin, just don't look at our past friendship. For Yuanyuan's sake, you have to help me."
Hou Shixian walked around Liang Duo, walked to the counter, and whispered to shopkeeper Qin.
"You don't want the Hou family to completely decline, right? In the future, Yuanyuan will say that she has no family support for her marriage. What good things can she say about marriage? When I become prosperous again, I can also prepare a heavy dowry for Yuanyuan. With a strong natal family,
We Yuanyuan won’t be bullied when we get married, right? Otherwise, we’ll just rely on you, an orphan and a widowed mother, and there won’t be a responsible man in the family. If someone bullies you, you won’t know what to do.”
He looked like he was doing good for Shopkeeper Qin's mother and daughter, staring at Shopkeeper Qin, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Damn it, why did Huixin become so beautiful? Why didn't he notice it before?
Hou Shixian stretched out his hand to catch Shopkeeper Qin's Rou Yi, but Shopkeeper Qin quickly dodged it.
Liang Duo watched from the side with a murderous look in his eyes, looking at Hou Shixian as if he were looking at a dead person.
But if you look closely, you can still see the tension in his eyes.
He was afraid that shopkeeper Qin would really agree to Hou Shixian's offer.
However, shopkeeper Qin is not someone who is willing to turn around. She was kicked out by the Hou family and started a shop by herself. The most difficult and painful days are over. Now with the help of the Shen family, her business is getting better and better.
It is enough to support my daughter.
Let's talk about Yuanyuan's marriage. If her husband's family looks down on their family background, it would be better if she doesn't let her daughter get married. There are so many men in the world, and she is worried that she can't find a suitable one. Even if she really can't find one, the money she earns will be enough for them.
Mother and daughter have squandered their lives.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qin's face turned cold.
"Since Yuanyuan has me, Mr. Hou doesn't need to worry about these things."
"You! A woman's sight!"
Hou Shixian was slapped in the face in public, and he became furious for a moment. He got closer to the counter and stood on tiptoe to catch Shopkeeper Qin.
Liang Duo felt coldness all over his body, grabbed him by the collar, dragged him out and threw him at the door.
"Go away! If you dare to disturb Shopkeeper Qin again, I will break your legs and throw you into prison!"
Liang Duo had been following Shen Yanqing for a long time, and it was inevitable that he had learned a bit of his aura. He glared down at Hou Shixian, scaring Hou Shixian so much that he almost wet his pants.
"Master Liang... I... I don't dare to do it anymore."
He gave up and quickly got up from the ground in a mess, holding up his clothes and stumbling away.
Liang Duo looked at his panicked back, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
How could such a man be worthy of Shopkeeper Qin? Fortunately, the two had reconciled, otherwise the thought of Shopkeeper Qin still suffering in the Hou family would have made him unable to stop the murderous intention in his heart.
Hou Shixian ran to the corner of the street before stopping. He turned around and saw that Liang Duo had entered Jinxiu Pavilion again.
Hou Shixian spit on the ground with an angry look on his face.
"This little girl is really not a peaceful girl. She just relies on her beauty to hook up with men everywhere. Now even Master Liang has become her subordinate..."
Hou Shixian rubbed his sore legs, feeling unwilling to do so.
Qin Huixin is his wife, even if he doesn't want her, he can't let other men have her.
Hou Shixian stared at Jinxiu Pavilion for a long time, and a flash of determination flashed across his face.
In Jinxiu Pavilion, shopkeeper Qin lowered his head and tidied up the counter. Due to the commotion just now, the female customers in the shop had left, and now only a few maids with worried faces were left.
"I'm fine, you just go and do your work."
She raised the corners of her lips and forced a smile, her face looking pale.
"The shopkeeper calls us if you have something to do. There are many of us, and we can scold the bad guys away!"
"Ha! Okay."
Being interrupted by the little maids, she felt a little better. Shopkeeper Qin sat on the chair and rubbed his forehead. She saw a shadow covering her body. She looked up and saw Liang Duo standing in front of her, his eyes dark.
Stare at her closely.
Shopkeeper Qin was distracted and quickly looked away.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Liang, for today. These boxes of fragrant beads can be regarded as a thank you gift to the young lady. Thank you, Mr. Liang, for your help."
Without Liang Duo, Hou Shixian would definitely continue to entangle her. She had given up on her ex-husband a long time ago and couldn't bear to see him at all. Thanks to Liang Duo, she beat him away.
"Um."
Liang Duo did not refuse and took the wooden box from her hand. The temperature of her palm was still on the box. Liang Duo rubbed it with his fingertips. Shopkeeper Qin caught a glimpse of it and his face suddenly turned red.
Her heart was pounding and her breathing was strained.
"Without delaying Mr. Liang's official duties, if you have anything to do, please leave early."
"Are you chasing me?"
Liang Duo's voice dropped, and Shopkeeper Qin's expression froze. Shopkeeper Qin, who was always eloquent, sometimes ran out of words.
"How could it be? When we are open for business, there are no customers chasing customers away. Isn't it because the young lady saw that Mr. Liang is busy with official duties and is afraid of delaying your business?"
"It's a day off today."
So don't delay.
Liang Duo held the box tightly and looked at her with a look of grievance. Shopkeeper Qin's heart was full and swollen.
So, he came to Jinxiu Pavilion to see her during the holiday?
Shopkeeper Qin tried her best not to think too much, but Liang Duo's eyes were so straightforward and naked that she couldn't even think about it.
"oh."
She lowered her head and wiped the counter, avoiding the man's eyes. Liang Duo frowned, not understanding Shopkeeper Qin's attitude.
His wife and children all starved to death in that drought. For so many years, he had no other women. Liang Duo was surrounded by several brothers and had no idea at all about pleasing the young lady.
"Does Shopkeeper Qin have any plans to marry again?"
"Ahem!"
Shopkeeper Qin didn't expect him to be so direct. They had only met twice in total. Isn't it too abrupt to say these things? Besides, if you really want to marry her, you should ask a matchmaker to come to her door. Asking her face to face is nothing. If it were someone else.
, she will be beaten out as a traitor.
Seeing her coughing non-stop, Liang Duo wanted to reach out and pat her back, but Shopkeeper Qin dodged it with a panicked expression.
Guests were coming and going in Jinxiu Pavilion, and it would be even harder to tell what they were doing if someone caught them.
"Drink some water."
He pursed his lips, poured a glass of water from the other side of the counter and handed it to her. Shopkeeper Qin stroked his chest to let his breath gradually calm down.
"Thanks."
"Shop Manager Qin, I want to marry you, are you willing?"
