"Don't worry, we won't let them get away with it."
Zhuang Keqing finished wiping the table and took the bowl. He turned to Qin Manzhi, who looked worried, and said, "Let's go and see what tricks they can use."
There are three people in the main room, but they have three different thoughts.
Zhuang Er was in a calm state of mind. At this time, he was sitting in the room and still had the time to look around at the furnishings. He felt that he came today to fulfill his responsibility as the second uncle and prevent his niece from being deceived by the gangsters.
As for Mrs. Qian, she didn't want that tofu recipe at first, but the mother-in-law couldn't bear it when her third son begged her. After all, the separation of the family was not pleasant at that time, and she couldn't do it for a small profit.
I gave up the banker's reputation in the village. But today, when I saw the salesman's full cart, I realized that I had underestimated my daughter-in-law, and now I felt greedy.
As for Zhuang San, he had been thinking about it earlier, and now he couldn't wait impatiently. He only stretched his head to look outside the house frequently, anxious to get Mrs. Qin back as soon as possible so that he could talk about the matter.
"It's just a bowl of water, why did it take so long?"
As soon as Zhuang San finished speaking, he saw a slender figure walking across the threshold. It was his niece Zhuang Keqing who had promised to visit her in a few days but had disappeared.
Thinking of this, he became angry. Somehow that day, he was deceived by a little girl's movie. If he had been tougher at that time, he would have come to find Mrs. Qin directly. How could there be such nonsense like now!
Now it's no use if his intestines are full of regrets. His wife is right, some things can't be delayed. The longer you delay, the greater the risk will be.
Thinking of this, Zhuang San decided that no matter what, he had to let Mrs. Qin refuse the marriage today, so as to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Zhuang Keqing entered the room, followed by Qin Manzhi. After the mother and daughter put the coarse porcelain bowl filled with water on the table, they stood aside without saying anything.
"This is my eldest granddaughter. She's already so big. Come on, let grandma take a look."
Mrs. Qian moved quickly, grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her in front of her. She looked up and down a few times, and a glimmer of light flashed through her cloudy eyes. "She looks really good. Her face is the same as your mother's when she was young."
Eighty-nine points, she is a beautiful woman."
Rough and skinny fingers stroked Zhuang Keqing's smooth cheek, "If you look so good, you won't have to worry about getting married in the future."
Mrs. Qian suddenly thought of something and added: "My grandmother has an old sister. Her eldest grandson is literate. She is about the same age as you. She passed the Tongsheng test before she got married. If you marry her, you will be a child in the future.
It is not difficult for a talented lady to be afraid."
Never mentioning the matter of recruiting a son-in-law, Mrs. Qian used the tone of an elder to make a lifelong decision for Zhuang Keqing.
In fact, there are no old sisters, they are all made up now, as long as her cheap granddaughter temporarily stops thinking about recruiting a son-in-law.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
Zhuang Keqing was caught by the old lady, but she didn't show any fear or flinch, or that she was tempted by the words that she would be a scholar in the future. She just asked a question without thinking.
Old Mrs. Qian was stunned, wondering if this girl was stupid, how could she talk like this? She then thought about it, maybe this was a mockery of her old age and frailty, so don't worry about her?
You damn girl! You are not a big person, but you are very clever!
"Uncle San was going to visit my mother last month. I mentioned that you were sick and were lying at home, otherwise you would have come with him." The girl tilted her head, her eyes drifting to Zhuang San who was hesitant to speak.
After a moment, he turned back to the old lady's face and said, "So you have recovered from your illness now. Are you here to visit my mother and Aman?"
?!Old Mrs. Qian’s cheeks were so angry that she was so angry.
You third child, you have betrayed me a long time ago and you have found the eldest daughter-in-law! Now that you have no choice, you thought of dragging this old bone of mine over to serve as a spearman for you? Why, you even cursed me to get sick in private? Do you think I am an eyesore to you because I have lived so long?!
Zhuang San's heart was beating wildly. He didn't think that just one word from his niece would offend him and offend his mother.
"Mom, it's not..."
Zhuang San wanted to explain, but Mrs. Qian glared at him and shut up in shock. He was so worried about what he had just said.
"Girl, my grandma has recovered from her illness. I have been planning to come and see you for a long time, but now I am here today. Don't you blame grandma?" After all, Mrs. Qian still remembers what she came for today. She originally wanted to dump her. She left her sleeves, but the thought of the salesman's cart full of things made her sit down again.
"Of course I don't blame grandma, it's just that I have been engaged to Mr. Shen..." Zhuang Keqing raised his head, with two blushes flying on his cheeks, "I'm afraid I will let down that young master."
"No!"
Before Mrs. Qian could think of anything to say, Zhuang Er stood up excitedly.
"I have inquired about this young master of the Shen family. He is unfilial to his mother and unkind to his younger brothers. He has a bad character. How can he be recruited as a son-in-law?"
Mrs. Qian and Zhuang San stopped talking. After all, they just wanted to stop the marriage. Any reason would be fine, so they didn't stop Zhuang Er, who was in the dark, and just let him speak.
Zhuang Keqing didn't know much about this second uncle, but looking at his expression, he was the only one among the three who looked sincere, and there was nothing hypocritical about him.
"Sister-in-law! You are your mother, why did you push your daughter into the fire pit!"
It’s just that my words are really not good enough.
As soon as Zhuang Er said these words, Mrs. Qian felt bad. She turned around and glared at this brainless second son, wishing to tear his mouth apart right away!
Zhuang Keqing glanced at the ground in boredom, not bothering to reply to his words. He just wanted to see what else the old woman could say to lure him into taking the bait.
But Qin Manzhi's ears could not tolerate such words.
She didn't complain about the separation, she only lamented that her life was miserable. When Ke'er was sick and had no money to buy medicine, she only blamed herself for being useless. Even when Zhuang Da died, she...
But now that things are getting better at home, you, young and old, all want to pounce on me and suck your blood. How can I bear it?
"Mother, second brother, third brother." Her eyes slid over the faces of several people one by one, and finally landed on Zhuang Keqing, "I only have a daughter, how can I see her fall into a pit of fire."
Just as Mrs. Qian was about to curl her lips, she saw Qin Manzhi's face turned cold and said sternly to them: "Ke'er's decision to recruit a son-in-law has been decided, you don't need to talk about it anymore. Since the banker's family has been divided, no one can be me." It’s impossible for me to be Ke’er’s master!”
"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else important, I will see you off."
Not to mention Zhuang Keqing, the mother and son of the banker were all stunned.
This, is this the Qin family? The Qin family who was so submissive that her mother-in-law raised her eyebrows and glared without daring to reply? The Qin family who was beaten by Zhuangda for more than ten years and did not dare to fight back?
Where did this aura come from? It made these people open their mouths and couldn't even say a word.
"Please."
Qin Manzhi didn't wait for anyone to react, walked to the door and opened it wide. She stood by the door with cold eyes, neither speaking nor urging, but for no reason it made people feel that it was no longer easy to stay here. .
The contrast between Xu Shiren was so great that the banker, mother and son actually stood up. It was not until they left the courtyard that Old Mrs. Qian realized what she was doing. She turned around and saw Qin Manzhi bolting the fence door with a cold face.
