Chapter 7 You express loyalty, I express my intention
Huairou, Huairou...
She was supposed to be full of tenderness, but instead she was forced to become a person full of thorns.
She cried so hard that her heart broke, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
"Why!"
Xia Shang frowned and rubbed the corners of his eyes gently, then stepped back some distance to let the woman in front of him vent to her heart's content.
Anyone could feel that this woman's body was already scarred. No one dared to disturb her when she cried, only the pouring rain kept her company.
The rain has subsided and the crying has gradually become smaller.
Xia Shang stepped forward again and patted Qin Huairou on the shoulder: "I don't know if I should say something seriously or not?"
"explain."
Qin Huairou closed her eyes and tried to take away this annoying palm, but failed.
"My words don't sound very nice. I wonder if you can listen to me?"
Qin Huairou did not answer.
"First of all, you can't cut off the relationship between father and daughter with just one word. Being a parent is a lifelong matter. Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact. What you said just now about severing the relationship between father and daughter is just
It’s just self-deception.”
Xia Shang paused, looked at the woman in front of him with a serious brow, and continued talking.
"Furthermore, when you said earlier that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, I disagree with whether you can be loyal or filial. Parents are a life-long bond, and you have no choice. Husband and wife are a temporary combination. If one is not good, you can replace the second one.
.If you lose a husband-in-law, you can find another one in the future. If you lose your parents, where will you find the second one in the future?
Do you really think that a person who sacrifices his life to marry a righteous man, destroys relatives for righteousness, and sacrifices his family for the country is a hero? In this world, we are all independent individuals. We should put the individual first, then the family, and then the country. First, you should not be ashamed of yourself, and then you should not be ashamed.
Family, if you can do both, you will have no regrets in your life. If you wrong yourself every time, you can only gain sympathy from others, but you will never gain your own happiness."
"It's nonsense. Only selfish people like you would have such thoughts!"
Qin Huairou didn't believe it, but she was much less sentimental than before.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but now I have something I want you to do."
"What's the matter?"
"Go home with your father."
"You...you still want to drive me away?"
"I just don't want to see you severing a lifelong relationship on impulse."
"I wasn't impulsive."
"You must go back!"
"No!"
"You said before that you should put your husband-in-law first in everything, but now it doesn't count? Or do you mean that you don't regard me as your husband-in-law?"
"..." Qin Huairou was speechless. It was really not easy to find someone who could quarrel with Xia Shang these days.
Xia Shang didn't give Qin Huairou a chance to refute. He turned around and clasped his fists at Qin Feng: "Today's events all started because of my son-in-law, so let him settle it. What my wife said before were all angry words. My father-in-law, don't worry.
.I have agreed with my wife that she will go back to the Qin Mansion first, and my son-in-law will take her back home in good condition one day."
As he spoke, Xia Shang's posture was elegant. Although he was soaked in the rain, he did not look embarrassed. He smiled lightly, and his Confucian style was natural. His conversation seemed to be more like an ancient person than all the ancients present.
But Qin Feng didn't accept this trick, and his hatred for Xia Shang was beyond description.
The quarrel between father and daughter is all due to this person, and now you want to be the peacemaker?
There is no way!
"Why are you such a loser here to point fingers? Look at your appearance, my Qin family's daughter is worthy of you too? You don't even urinate and take pictures, and you still call her a lady. I tell you
You, as long as you persuade my daughter to come back with me this time, I will accept your love. In the future, don’t imagine that the Qin family has any relationship with the Xia family. Why do you come to take Huairou away? Look at the reality clearly, you are now
You have nothing! Maybe one day when you are desperate, our Qin family can give you a bite of food."
Qin Huairou pursed her lips and glanced at Xia Shang, finding that the other party did not show any dissatisfaction.
Xia Shang smiled and still held his hands in a confident manner: "You are the father-in-law. You can scold me and humiliate me. I won't argue with you. But why do you think my son-in-law came to pick up my wife? Of course the son-in-law is
With this strategy in mind and wisdom in mind, even though the Xia family has nothing today, our Xia family will surely be prosperous in the future. When one day you are desperate, my Xia family will leave a door open for you so that you will have no worries for the rest of your life."
"Ha! What a loud tone! What can you, an ignorant guy like you, do?"
"I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back to you when I have spent a lot of money!"
"Thousands of gold have been scattered and come back again..." Qin Feng was slightly startled, "Is this what he can say?"
"My father-in-law, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What to bet on?"
"In the past, you paid 10,000 gold to marry your daughter to me. Today we will use 10,000 gold as a bet. I will ask my wife to go back with you first. Within three days, I will earn 10,000 gold. By then, you will make your wife beautiful.
Give me back the land."
"Within three days? Ten thousand gold?"
"That's right!"
"Okay!" Qin Feng shouted, "If you can't earn 10,000 gold within three days, write a letter of divorce and come to my door. From now on, you and I will no longer have anything to do with each other."
Just as Xia Shang was about to speak, Qin Huairou said anxiously: "You really want me to leave, don't you?"
Qin Huairou stood in the rain, looking at Xia Shang helplessly. Her thin body was like duckweed in the wind, extremely pitiful. Her black hair was scattered on her face, and the rain kept sliding down.
Xia Shang stepped forward, gently smoothed the hair around her ears, caressed her cold face, and whispered softly: "I, Xia Shang, have never been in love with a woman in my life. Today
But you, this girl, disturbed my pure heart. You, a fool, did not hesitate to sever the relationship between father and daughter to show your loyalty to me. I won’t let you go home in glory, so why show my love to you? Believe me, within three days, I will do it.
I’ll invite you home with an eight-carriage sedan chair.”
"But, earning ten thousand taels of gold in three days..."
"Believe me!" Xia Shang said again solemnly.
The man's firm words and affirmative eyes almost pierced the little girl's heart. Qin Huairou didn't know what was wrong with her. She was so frightened by these simple words that she turned into a rabbit. She didn't even dare to look at Xia Shang again.
The rain on my body wasn't that cold anymore, and my ears felt like they were burning.
"kindness."
He responded softly and looked to the side a little shyly.
"I will trust you once. If...if you betray me, I will die in front of you!"
…
The rain stopped, people were quiet, and everyone who needed to leave left.
Li Zhong set up a fire under the eaves and waved to Xia Shang: "Master, come and warm yourself by the fire."
Xia Shang and Yazhi both came to the fire.
Everyone had been completely drenched by the rain before, and when they stood by the fire, they realized that their bodies were already completely cold.
The firewood was burning and crackling. The three of them were still thinking about what happened before. Each had their own thoughts and no one spoke.
After a long time, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "Master! Why did you send the young lady away? The Xia family cannot live without the young lady!"
Xia Shang didn't care: "It's just for the time being."
"Master, you don't really want to make ten thousand taels of gold in three days, do you? This...even if you steal it, it's not that much gold!"
Yazhi's eyes moved: "Yesterday, the young master said that someone would send money today. Did the young master have a plan in advance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and a woman came in with a maid.
Li Zhong was surprised: "If it's not the young lady, who is it?" (To be continued)
