Chapter 1060 What is Uncle Qiao doing?
"I didn't expect that after I rejected several companies, he seemed to understand my concerns and finally found an opportunity to express his feelings to me."
Qin Xiaomi pressed on: "What did you say? Did you agree? Do you like him? It seems like you've liked him for a long time, so why didn't you tell your family? Because you're the only child in the Qiao family, you're worried that you won't be able to give birth to a son, and if the Qiao family wants to take a concubine, it will ruin the friendship of several families fleeing together?"
Qin Ertao nodded: "Well... liking someone is not important. When a woman marries, it has always been about whether they are suitable for each other."
So she suppressed her affection for Qiao Songguo and just wanted to choose a suitable family to marry into.
Unexpectedly, Brother Songguo confessed his feelings to her and convinced Aunt Qiao, even making her a promise, saying, "If you really can't give birth to a son, that's his problem, and he'll take care of it. He'll find a son-in-law for my daughter, and if he doesn't even have a daughter, he'll go to the pawnbroker and buy an adopted son to raise. In short, there are many ways to live together, it just depends on whether I'm willing to live with him."
"Bah, we can just listen to such nice words, but we can't believe them completely. It doesn't cost anything to say nice words, but the rumors and challenges that people without sons have to endure are real." Qin Xiaomi seriously reminded Qin Ertao, lest she believe it now and get betrayed in the future, and then commit suicide in despair.
Just like in his previous life, that bastard Sheng Ting also said that he would not take a concubine and would only stay with her.
But for the sake of the prince, he still caused trouble.
"In short, a man's words are like money in other people's hands. We just need to look at them. Only the money in our own hands can truly protect us for a lifetime. Do you understand?"
Seeing her fear of being let down, Qin Ertao smiled and said, "Yeah, I understand. Don't worry, you've already given me a lot to live on. I can live a good life."
"Go to bed, it's getting late."
"Yeah." Qin Xiaomi was satisfied after listening to the gossip. She turned around and covered herself with the quilt to sleep.
Haha, Qin Ertao laughed and poked her on the back of the neck: "You turned around after hearing the gossip, you are so heartless."
Qin Xiaomi closed her eyes and replied, "As long as Qiao Songguo is loyal to you, that's all."
Uh this?
"I can't argue with you, so I'm going to sleep." Qin Ertao's face turned red. After lying down, he calmed down for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Aunt Qin came early to wake them up: "Xiaomi, Ertao, it's almost noon, get up!"
Qin Xiaomi: "I don't get up until half past noon to go to work, and now I don't have to go to work, so if you yell again, it will be like you are deliberately looking for trouble, and I will deduct your second room's dividend!"
Damn girl, Aunt Qin cursed in her heart, and thought to herself, this girl delayed the distribution of Dongyue’s dividends until the middle of December, is she trying to use the dividends to control them?
Qin Xiaomi said, I don’t have it, and even if I do, I won’t admit it.
Another half hour later, it was past noon and Qin Ertao could no longer lie down, so he got up to wash up.
Qin Xiaomi also finished her nap, got up and dressed, and the two of them went to the front bunk together to have breakfast.
After finishing the meal, Qin Ertao said goodbye and went home.
I still go home from the path behind the house.
I met Qiao Songguo on the way.
Qin Xiaomi and Aunt Qin, who were peeking, immediately cursed in a low voice: "This kid looks stupid but he's actually waiting halfway."
Qiao Songguo: "..." Is it possible that I am just too worried about Ertao, afraid that after some advice she will decide not to marry him, so I am anxiously waiting halfway to know the answer so that I can respond accordingly.
Aunt Qin asked Qin Xiaomi again, "What did Er Tao tell you last night? Tell me in detail. During the New Year, Aunt Qin promises to help you teach your uncle a lesson."
Uncle Qin Er who was not present: "..." Gu Rongniang, you have no conscience. I even brought you a gift, and you treated me like this!
"Deal." Qin Xiaomi told Aunt Qin Ertao about Qin Ertao's hesitation and final decision.
Aunt Qin turned to look at her and rolled her eyes.
Qin Xiaomi exploded: "What do you mean?"
Aunt Qin bluntly said, "I just think you two are silly. You're really young girls, always thinking about useless things. All this thinking, hesitating, worrying—you're just asking for trouble." "Look at you two worrying all night, wasn't it all for nothing? Don't you understand such a simple principle as waiting until things happen to get to the point?"
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
It seems like that's what happened.
"Sister Xiaomi~" Jiang Xiaozhu brought Qin Xiaomai and quietly approached from behind them.
Qin Xiaomi: "Shh, don't make any noise. If they find out, you won't be able to read the gossip. You two will be punished by writing twenty large characters on New Year's Day."
Writing big characters on New Year’s Day?
Sister Xiaomi is simply not a human being!
Jiang Xiaozhu was frightened, and hurriedly covered her mouth, nodded, and then hid between Aunt Qin and Qin Xiaomi, squatting and watching the gossip.
When he saw Qiao Songguo and Qin Ertao, he was so shocked that he almost cried out, but luckily he kept his composure.
In front, after Qiao Songguo asked Qin Ertao, he stood stiffly as if he was waiting for sentencing, waiting for Qin Ertao's final decision.
Seeing him like this, Qin Ertao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I won't tease you anymore. I have made a decision. Your family should prepare and come to propose marriage."
"Really, really?" Qiao Songguo's heart was beating like a drum. Fortunately, he had been specially trained by Jiang Dalang, so his voice did not stand out and attract more people.
"Ertao, don't worry. My mother said that after going through so much, she's long since let go of the idea of continuing the family line. When I told her, she thought I was mean and said I was giving you a hard time... With the Qin family being so powerful, you should have married into a wealthy local family with many brothers. That way, even if you don't have a son, you'll still have nephews to adopt, and your in-laws won't be too embarrassed."
"But I'm the only one in my family. If I persist like this, I'll only harm you."
"I know I'm wrong, but I really can't accept it... I can only be happy when I'm with certain people. Otherwise, I'll be depressed for the rest of my life."
These words were said by Jiang Dalang.
When Qiao Songguo was in trouble, he asked Jiang Dalang, and Jiang Dalang told him this, and he thought it was right.
"I've already experienced life-or-death situations like fleeing famine and being massacred by bandits. If I still don't dare to fight for myself, I'd be truly incompetent." Qiao Songguo spoke more and more firmly. In short, "If I can start a family with the person I love, who would want to settle for just being suitable?"
"So, I've chosen you, and thank you for choosing me."
"You..." Qin Ertao looked at Qiao Songguo's firm and fiery eyes, her heart panicked, her cheeks flushed, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Qin Ertao was already pretty, and her cheeks looked like peach blossoms. Qiao Songguo had been secretly in love with her for two years, so he couldn't help but take a few steps closer to her.
"Sister Xiaozhu, Brother Xiaomai, Sister Xiaomi, Aunt Qin Er, what are you looking at?" Xiao Fubao's childish voice came, tap tap tap, accompanied by the sound of him running.
He quickly rushed to the front and looked at where they were. When he saw Qiao Songguo and Qin Ertao, he shouted, "Uncle Qiao, Sister Ertao, what are you doing?!"
The child's voice was already shrill, and his shout attracted several families.
Several families opened the back door and ran out to see what was happening.
"What happened? What happened? What happened to Songguo and Ertao? Did the mountain people sneak in to take revenge on us, and they were caught?!" Qin Liupo, the fastest and most gossipy person asked.
"Ertao, my dear Ertao, where are you?!" This is Qin Dashi's wife.
When fleeing from famine, Ertao was almost snatched away by a villain. This was Qin Dashi's wife's nightmare, so she was anxious.
Ah this?
"Come on, I can't hide it anymore, everyone knows it."
"It was Xiao Fubao who called them out. Xiao Fubao, you have to go and apologize to your Uncle Qiao."
