Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 450

"Sun Donghai used to be a good person, but now he is worse than ever. But he makes my mother-in-law happy. My mother-in-law thinks we are looking down on him, so she doesn't listen to anything we say."

"As for Qin Shao, she only wants Sun Donghai to pass the imperial examination and be able to tolerate everything else."

Qin Sui could understand Qin Shao's thoughts. She had used some tricks to marry Sun Donghai. On the one hand, she probably felt a little guilty, and on the other hand, maybe Sun Donghai had also come to his senses and was using this to control Qin Shao.

It seems that Qin Shao’s family members are all very prosperous, but in reality, who will stand up for Qin Shao?
"Are Madam and Auntie in there?" Qin Shao's voice came from outside. The two people in the room exchanged glances and stood up together to greet Qin Shao.

Qin Shao opened the curtain and walked in, smiling, saying, "After I sent my mother back to her room, I went back and saw that all the people there were men. I guessed that you two were hiding here, so I caught you two right away."

"After all, we still feel uncomfortable with Qin Yao's fiancé here. Let's just come here so they can feel more comfortable." Qin Cui pulled Qin Shao over to sit down and explained a few more words.

Liu hurriedly asked someone to bring Qin Shao dishes and chopsticks, and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't we just come out and talk? I've told the servants to ask you to come here to find us when I see you."

"Maybe that person just left. It doesn't matter. I guessed you guys came here." Qin Shao smiled and sat next to Qin Su, saying, "I haven't seen sister Qin Su for a long time!"

Qin Shao was truly happy, and her entire body was radiating joy.

She picked up the wine glass and said to Qin Sui, "I am where I am today, thanks to you. This glass of wine is for you!"

Qin Cui raised her glass and clinked it with hers, and they both drank it in one gulp.

With the second glass of wine, Qin Shao toasted to Liu, thanking her for her care and help for her and her husband.

She poured another glass, and Liu said with a smile, "Do you want to get drunk?"

"Yes, I've wanted to get drunk for a long time!" Qin Shao said, holding up the glass and said, "This one is for myself."

Qin Sui turned her head and glanced at Liu, and saw that Liu frowned slightly, probably realizing that something was wrong with Qin Shao.

Qin Shao went to get the wine again, but Liu stopped her decisively and said, "I see you drank a lot today, but didn't eat anything. Come on, eat something to fill your stomach. We are not in a hurry, just drink slowly."

Qin Shao took the chopsticks handed to her by Liu and started eating.

While eating, he also greeted Qin Sui and Liu.

Seeing that she was normal, the two men calmed down and ate, drank and talked and laughed together.

After a while, Qin Shao got the wine again, but she drank it slowly. Before she knew it, the porcelain bottle of wine was empty.

Qin Shao turned around and said to the little maidservant, "The wine is gone. Go get another can. We have to drink to our heart's content today."

The maid looked at Liu, who thought for a moment and ordered, "Go get that bottle of peach wine. It's delicious and not intoxicating, just right for us women."

The little maid turned around and went out. Qin Shao looked at Liu with sidelong eyes: "Sister-in-law, are you afraid that I'm drunk?" Without waiting for Liu to explain, Qin Shao suddenly laughed, and laughed very happily, and then began to laugh loudly, laughing so hard that tears flowed down her face.

Seeing this, Liu realized that she was really drunk, so she hurriedly asked someone to fetch some water and arranged for someone to make strong tea to help her sober up.

Qin Shao suddenly stopped laughing, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said to the servants in the room: "You guys go out first, I want to have a private talk with my sister-in-law and sister."

"Go down!" Liu also waved her hand, and the servants filed out. Only Liu's most trusted maid stood at the door, waiting to be called by the people in the room at any time.

"I don't know why my life is so worthless. I was born as a concubine's daughter who could not see the light of day. Later, I finally returned to the Qin family. I thought I could finally hold my head high. Who knew that I would have to..."

She glanced at Liu, and didn't want to say anything bad about Mrs. Qin Si, so she swallowed the rest of her words.

Qin Shao couldn't help but think with some admiration: Even when drunk, Qin Shao knew not to say things that she shouldn't, which showed that her patience was really great.

"I originally found a way to marry Sun Donghai, thinking that I would have someone to rely on for the rest of my life, but you don't know that my life was also very difficult."

Sun Donghai was devoted to his studies and never cared about the family expenses. Because Sun Donghai's aunt, Mrs. Xiao Er, was dissatisfied with Qin Shao and stopped helping her, Sun Donghai's studies and all the family expenses depended on Qin Shao.

These would have been fine, but Sun Donghai also took concubines and had illegitimate children. Qin Shao did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction and even helped Sun Donghai raise the concubines and their children.

She was so virtuous that she finally won the favor of the second wife. Although she couldn't be said to be very good to her, she agreed to let her visit her.

Qin Shao also tried her best to curry favor with her father and Mrs. Qin Si. Until her father passed away, she was extremely fawning and filial to Mrs. Qin Si. It happened that Mrs. Qin Si was in a bad situation, so she trusted and relied on Qin Shao.

With the support of her parents' and husband's families, Qin Shao could finally feel at ease and urge her husband to study. As long as he passed the imperial examination, Qin Shao would have nothing else to ask for in this life.

But at this time, Qin Shao discovered that after a series of blows, Sun Donghai had lost his ambition to make progress. Qin Shao pressed him so hard that he stayed out all night and became a frequent visitor to brothels.

Mrs. Qin, who had originally changed her mind about her, glared at her again and said that it was Qin Shao who had harmed Sun Donghai, and if Sun Donghai failed to pass the imperial examination, she would divorce Qin Shao.

Qin Shao went to the fireworks place in person and brought the person back. Sun Donghai lost face and cursed at Qin Shao, saying that she had tricked him.

Qin Shao was furious, but she couldn't vent her anger. She could only coax Sun Donghai and take him a concubine again.

"Later, when mother and Qin Yao came back for a while, when my eldest brother sent someone to pick them up, I thought about bringing Sun Donghai to the capital. With you here, he will definitely restrain himself. Sure enough, now that there is a good result, I can be considered worthy of their Sun family, and I can also hold my head up in front of the second wife."

After listening to her chattering, Qin Su felt very depressed. When she returned to Dancheng, she had met Qin Shao. Seeing her rosy complexion, she thought she was living a good life. Qin Su thought Qin Shao was a little too calculating, so she deliberately stayed away from Qin Shao. Even when they came to the capital, Qin Su did not interact with her much. Of course, the most important thing was that Qin Su always thought Qin Shao was living a good life.

Of course, Qin Shao always smiled, and everyone thought she was in a good mood. Who knew that she was hiding so many grievances and helplessness in her heart.

Sun Donghai and Qin Er's wife both blamed Qin Shao for Sun Donghai's failure to pass the imperial examination. But in fact, if Qin Shao had not planned step by step, Sun Donghai would have had a hard time passing the imperial examination.

"What does Sun Donghai have? His family has nothing. He used to live and eat at the Qin family and was supported by the Qin family." Liu looked down on Sun Donghai and couldn't help but said, "When he arrived in the capital, it was your brother who helped him find a teacher to study. Your brother was so busy, but he would ask him about learning whenever he had time. If it weren't for your brother's strict supervision, he would never have thought about passing the imperial examination."
