Chapter 1061 A Hasty Engagement [Aww, Happy National Day!]
Little Fubao was confused and blinked his big eyes and said, "Seeing the elders greet each other is a family education. I am not wrong."
He just said hello to Uncle Qiao, so how could it be a mistake?
Uh this?
Jiang Xiaozhu despised him: "Fubao, you're grown up, why are you still a little stupid? Can't you see that your Uncle Qiao has feelings for Er Taojie? Don't you know what it means that men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other? This matter was originally kept quiet, but once you shouted, it became public, and Er Taojie will be gossiped about."
Second Aunt Qin was shocked. She looked from Jiang Xiaozhu to Qin Xiaomi and said, "I told you not to tell her stories from picture books. Look at how old she is. She's even younger than Xiaomai, but she knows so much. What will she be like when she grows up?"
You are not allowed to look at the villain's book secretly.
"Aunt Qin, I'm smart and proud." Jiang Xiaozhu was proud for a moment, then pushed Xu Fubao: "Whether you understand or not, you should admit your mistakes and apologize first... Fubao, be a man, you have to take responsibility for this matter."
Second Aunt Qin glared at Qin Xiaomi.
Qin Xiaomi argued: "Don't look at me like that. I didn't teach her. Xiaozhu is self-taught."
Second Aunt Qin laughed, but she also pushed little Fubao out: "Fubao, go and admit your mistake quickly and help your Uncle Qiao and Sister Er Tao out."
"Okay." Little Fubao seemed to understand, but he obeyed. He ran towards Qiao Songguo and Qin Ertao, pushing aside Qin Liupo who was trying to gossip about Qiao Songguo. He hugged Qiao Songguo around the waist and said, "Uncle Qiao, you said you would take me to pick up my second uncle. I've already done my horse stance, eaten breakfast, and practiced fifty Chinese characters. When are we going to set off to pick up my second uncle?"
Then he looked at Qin Ertao and said with a smile, "Sister Ertao, I'm sorry. I should have run over to you and greeted you. I shouldn't have called you from a distance. I caused everyone to misunderstand. I'm sorry!"
As he said this, he bowed to Qin Ertao and apologized seriously.
"Kid, stop talking nonsense. Do you think we are fools?" Qin Liupo had no idea that she believed him. She grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him aside. She grabbed Qin Ertao and Qiao Songguo's hands and asked, "Ertao, Songguo, what are you doing..."
"Sixth Auntie wants her dividends deducted again?" Qin Xiaomi interrupted her, shouting, "Don't worry, everyone. No mountain people have sneaked in to do evil. It was Xiao Fubao who saw us sending Er Taojie home, so he greeted her a little loudly."
Oh my god, even Qin Xiaomi couldn’t stand such a crude excuse.
Forget it, whatever happens. Anyway, the Qiao family will go to Ertao's family to propose marriage soon.
Grandma Qin shouted, "Sixth brother's wife, don't make trouble so early in the morning. Let's all go. We still have inventory work to do in the workshop!"
After saying that, he glared at Qin Liupo.
Qin Liupo knew that Grandma Qin was really angry, so she didn't dare to gossip anymore and went back to her own shop first.
No one else was as gossipy as her, and even if they had doubts in their hearts, they would obediently disperse.
Because of what happened this morning, Qiao Songguo didn't wait any longer after returning home. He immediately told Aunt Qiao, "Mom, prepare some generous gifts and go to Uncle Qin Wu's house. Ask Aunt Qin Wu to go to Er Tao's house to make peace."
Aunt Qiao's face was filled with joy: "Ertao, do you agree?"
Qiao Songguo said nothing, just looked at her and smiled.
"I understand, mother. I'll take the six gifts and go find your Fifth Aunt Qin." Aunt Qiao's hands were shaking with excitement as she said, "You must treat Er Tao well for the rest of your life. She could have married someone better and lived an easier life, but she chose you."
"Oh, this, I haven't done this before, I should go ask your Aunt Xu... No, no, the Ertao family hasn't officially agreed yet, so it's not good to let more people know."
Aunt Qiao was so happy that she could not contain her emotions. She felt that marrying Ertao was really a great bargain for the Qiao family.
Marrying Ertao would benefit both Xu and Qiao families.
After all, the two families were not related by surname. Although they had a life-or-death bond with the Qin and Jiang families, they were not as close as true relatives. Without being relatives, there always felt a distance between them.
After the mother and son prepared themselves and changed their clothes, they officially went to Grandpa Qin's house... On the way, they met Qin Liupo who was staring at her house.
"Mother Li Zi, Song Guo, why are you wearing such eye-catching clothes? Are you asking my fifth sister-in-law to do something important? Of course it's you, otherwise how could you dress so beautifully?"
Aunt Qiao is not good at socializing, and this time there is no Aunt Xu by her side to help her talk, so she really doesn't know how to deal with it.
Qiao Songguo, however, was scolded by Jiang Dalang. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sixth Auntie, how are you? Well, my mother has some questions about childbirth and needs to ask Fifth Auntie Qin."
Qiao Lizi's belly is already as big as a drum, so this is a pretty good reason.
but……
"Tsk, I'm such a smart person, how could I believe your nonsense?" Qin Liupo was afraid that her bonus would be deducted for her rudeness, so she didn't dare to say anything more. Instead, she came over and took Aunt Qiao's arm, saying affectionately, "What a coincidence! I was just about to go find my fifth sister-in-law. Let's go together."
Aunt Qiao felt itchy all over and was a little anxious.
"Then let's go together." Qiao Songguo agreed and gave his mother a reassuring look.
A group of three went to Grandpa Qin's house and met Grandma Qin.
But the Qiao family said that after something happened, Qin Liupo was driven away by Qin Nainai.
Qin Liupo was furious, but she didn't dare to do anything. She could only wrap herself in a thick cloak and wait outside... This girl was really trying her best to find out some gossip about other people's families.
After closing the door, Grandma Qin took the mother and son to the small warm room separated by the front bunk.
The mother and son of the Qiao family reported that Songguo liked Ertao and wanted to ask Grandma Qin to mediate.
Grandma Qin was stunned when she heard this. After she came to her senses, she kept saying "OK, OK, OK" and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll go to Ertao's house after lunch and talk to Dashi and his wife about this."
"You've agreed. Thank you so much!" Aunt Qiao stood up gratefully and bowed to Grandma Qin. She couldn't help but sigh, "The greatest blessing our family has ever had is meeting the nobles of the Qin and Jiang families."
When they were in their hometown, the Qiao family was poorer than the Xu family and had fewer people, but they received a lot of help and protection from the Xu family, the Jiang family, and the Qin family.
Especially since the Qiao family used to work for the Jiang family, Aunt Qiao was not only grateful to the Qin and Jiang families, but also treated them as her masters.
"Our families have been through life and death together, so there's no need to talk about this." Grandma Qin looked at Qiao Songguo and saw that he had grown stronger and more handsome in the past three or four years, with good teeth. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Songguo is a good person, and our families are old friends who know each other well. We should be a good match."
Even though the Qin family received official titles from His Majesty, Grandma Qin was not deaf. She knew that some local people were still gossiping behind their backs, saying that the girls from the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families had escaped famine and their innocence was questionable. She could marry her daughters to the Qin family, but would never dare to marry the girls from these families.
Otherwise, if a disaster victim comes out and reveals some ugly things that happened during the escape, the whole family will be embarrassed!
Grandma Qin was furious and cried because of this. What could she do? Could she just rush into someone's house and pull out their tongue?
So she was very happy to see Ertao and Songguo become a couple.
Everyone fled here together to escape famine. Songguo would not doubt Ertao's innocence. He would not be like that family whose background was unknown, who would use this doubt to attack Ertao after the marriage, making Ertao live a life of unrest.
I also feel that Guan's son-in-law is really a good person!
No, her family has to send some New Year's goods to her son-in-law's family.
