When I got home, the whole village was talking about "a noble person has come to the Qiu family".

Master Yang moves very quickly?Zhang Jinyue thought and stood still, listening to them discuss the gossip of the Qiu family.

"Aunt Zhang, did you know that a big shot has come to the Qiu family?"

"What kind of big shot is he? Could it be the county magistrate?"

Common people are not familiar with the rank of officials, and the biggest official in their minds is the local county magistrate.

"Huo, what does the county magistrate mean to him? He is a censor, and I heard that the county magistrate is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

"That is indeed a big official, but why does this official come to our small village?"

"I heard that Mr. Guan went to the Qiu family first, presumably because of Qiu Qingquan."

"What is the relationship between Qiu Qingquan and Mr. Guan?" someone asked in confusion.

"Who knows, didn't Qiu Qingquan go to take the exam? Maybe he did very well in the exam, and the official wanted to catch his son-in-law, and now he comes to the door in person." Someone joked.

"It's possible." Everyone thought it made sense and nodded.

"What about Sister Xiu? Isn't Sister Xiu engaged to Qiu Qingquan?" someone asked.

"I fell behind when I saw your news. The two were engaged, but the last time Sister Xiu made a bet with Sister Yue, the marriage was cancelled."

"With Qiu Qingquan as a scholar, the Qiu family is about to rise." Someone said with emotion.

"That's right." The person who responded looked at Zhang Cuihua, who had an ugly face, and said jokingly: "It's a pity that Cuihua, your daughter has broken off her engagement with Qiu Qingquan long ago. Otherwise, you would definitely be a share of this good thing. There would be no need to work so hard every day." Chopping wood?”

Zhang Cuihua's face turned even more ugly when she heard this.

But the woman seemed to have discovered the fun and continued: "If you ask me, you are still too good-tempered. Sister Yue just quit when she said she wanted to, so she doesn't have the chance to enjoy her life."

Zhang Cuihua glanced in the direction of the Qiu family, couldn't listen to anything else, and hurried home.

"Master, something bad has happened." The voice had already arrived before the person entered the door.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Lihua was a little confused.

"Where is your father?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"Dad is still cutting firewood on the mountain. I'll bring some back first." Zhang Lihua said, pouring the firewood in the dustpan to the edge of the yard so that it can be taken out to dry tomorrow.

"Hey, what time has it been? Why are you still chopping firewood on the mountain?" Zhang Cuihua was so anxious that she turned around and went up the mountain to find someone.

"Mom, what's going on? The eldest sister said she won't give us food until we chop a hundred kilograms of firewood today." Zhang Lihua didn't understand what could be more important than eating.

"Oh, you don't know. Today, a big shot from the Qiu family came, saying that he was here to see Qiu Qingquan. If it weren't for that damn girl Sister Yue who insisted on withdrawing from the family, what would we, as in-laws of the Qiu family, do with such a good thing? I can get some benefits, but I prefer that damn girl... Forget it, let's not talk about it, I will get angry when I say it, I will go up the mountain to discuss this matter with your father, no matter what, I have to get some benefits from the Qiu family."

After Zhang Cuihua finished speaking, she became furious on the mountain. After hearing this, Zhang Lihua no longer cared about firewood. All she could think about was that Qiu Qingquan had become rich, and she missed such a good marriage because of Zhang Jinyue. If Zhang Jinyue had not simply broken off the engagement and given the opportunity to her, she would be an official's wife no matter what she does now. If she is living a good life, can she still care about her family?

It’s all Zhang Jinyue’s fault!

The more Zhang Lihua thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't stand anymore and followed Zhang Cuihua up the mountain.

Zhang Cuihua sounded very excited. When Zhang Dalai heard that something happened at home, he didn't care about the firewood and followed the mother and daughter down the mountain.

"So, you mean Qiu Qingquan is out now?" Zhang Dalai was a little confused. Does this have anything to do with the Zhang family? The two families have already canceled their engagement.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Cuihua said with a bit of hatred in her tone, "Think about it, if Sister Yue hadn't broken off the engagement, no matter how the Qiu family became prosperous, our family would also benefit from it, right?"

"That's what I said, but the marriage has been called off." Zhang Dalai still complained a little when he mentioned this matter, "I only left home to work on the dock for two days, and such a big thing happened at home, so you don't Discuss it with me and cancel the marriage."

"Okay, can you still blame me for this? Did I ask her to break off the engagement?" Zhang Cuihua quarreled with him, "Is this something I discussed with you? This is obviously Sister Yue's wings. She's so stubborn and disobedient! I'm just a stepmother, how can I control her?"

Zhang Lihua also had something to say: "Dad, you really wrongly blamed mother for this matter. For the sake of the family, mother originally persuaded the eldest sister to give up the marriage to me, but it's not like you don't know the temper of the eldest sister, and you disagree with her life and death."

"The eldest sister is such a selfish person. She is unwilling to give me things she doesn't want. If the eldest sister had agreed to give me this marriage, wouldn't our family be able to benefit from it now?"

Zhang Dalai also had some dissatisfaction on his face when he heard this, "Sister Yue is also ignorant. No one has cared about her since Yuzhu left, and she has developed such a wanton temper."

Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lihua were overjoyed when they saw that they had persuaded Zhang Dalai, and said while the iron was hot: "That's right! You, the head of the family, must teach Sister Yue a lesson, and we must also get some benefits from the Qiu family!"

Zhang Dalai was still a little hesitant when he heard this, "If that bitch Zhang Jinyue finds out about this, she won't hold back on us."

Several people felt a little sad when they thought of Zhang Jinyue's terrifying force. I can't beat this...

Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth, this coward would be a bully in the family, a weakling who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

"Master, think about how prosperous the Qiu family is now. At worst, we don't care about Sister Yue and only ask for benefits from the Qiu family. Anyway, Sister Yue is out all day long and doesn't come home. As long as we are careful, she won't find out. Besides, the Qiu family broke off their relationship with our family without any compensation, is this appropriate?"

When they heard that they didn't have to confront Zhang Jinyue, both Zhang Dalei and Zhang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't think it's appropriate either. Our family doesn't want that to be arrogant, but the man can't show that he doesn't have it."

"That's the truth." Zhang Cuihua clapped her hands.

"Shall we go there now?" Zhang Dalai asked.

"There's no rush, we still have to wait until they leave. What if we go over now and the official arrests us?" Zhang Cuihua said.

Zhang Dalai nodded when he heard this, "It's Cuihua who is more thoughtful."

"Of course!" Zhang Cuihua said and looked at Zhang Lihua and said, "Lihua, you spend a lot of time at home, so you should go out more often to check the situation. When someone leaves, let us know as soon as possible."

"understood."
