Chapter 14 Family Blame

"Qin Cuitui saved the life of old man from the Liu family. He is asking for marriage by force, right? With his family's conditions, which family would marry their daughter to him? Unless they are blind." Widow Luo said with a pursed lip.

"Who knows? Maybe." The neighbor woman's grandson couldn't stay in the house. After picking at the mud on the ground for a while, he tottered out.

The woman waved to Widow Luo and her son, and went somewhere else.

Widow Luo rubbed her hands excitedly, "Son, your chance has come!"

Luo Si'an didn't feel that the opportunity had come. He hung his head, turned around and continued to warm himself by the fire.

Widow Luo walked over and asked, "What's that expression on your face? Didn't you say you wanted to marry Liu Lizheng's second daughter? Now that the opportunity has come, why are you not paying attention?"

"Mom! Where did this opportunity come from? Isn't Liu Yingyue promised to the Qin family again?"

"Is the lame son of the Qin family worthy of Liu Yingyue? You can go directly to the Liu family to snatch the bride! With your talent, aren't you better than Qin the Lame?" Widow Luo glared at her son.

Luo Si'an touched his leg that was hurt by Qin Yiran, and didn't think he had a chance to defeat Qin Yiran.

No matter how much his mother kept nagging, he just kept silent.

Widow Luo was so angry that she scolded him for being useless.

She decided to find a marriage for her son herself.
.
Liu Yingyue returned home and found that there were many people sitting in the main room.

There are the eldest brother and sister-in-law who live in a separate house, the little nephew Liu Zhuer, and the eldest sister Liu Chuyue who has been married for five years.

Father Liu Lizheng and mother Mrs. Liu were sitting at the top, talking about something.

Liu Yingyue tied the donkey to a tree in the yard, took off the bag on the donkey's back and walked into the house.

"I'm back." She nodded to her parents and family, and took out a small rattle she bought from the market from her pocket and put it in her nephew's hand, "Zhu'er, do you like it?"

"I like it." Liu Zhuer happily shook the rattle and showed it to everyone, "My aunt bought it for me. Look, it's really fun."

"Well, go and play by yourself." Liu Jiang touched his head.

"I'll show it to my great-grandfather and great-grandmother." Liu Zhuer ran away happily.

"Why did you take so long to come back? I just saw Mr. Yang's daughter, and she said you guys had come back from the market a long time ago." Liu Dalang took the bag from Liu Yingyue and put it on a chair beside him.

"Oh, I went to the Qin family." Liu Yingyue took a cloth and wiped her hands, then walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water.

Liu Lizheng and Mrs. Liu immediately frowned.

"Second sister, what are you doing at the Qin family?" Sister-in-law Liu Jiang blinked.

"Second sister! You are confused!" Liu Chuyue sighed and shook her head.

"Did the kid from the Qin family ask you to go?" Liu Dalang asked coldly.

Liu Yingyue looked at her family and found that everyone's expressions were unhappy.

Obviously, no one supported her getting close to the Qin family.

"No, I wanted to go on my own. Aunt Qin's leg was injured and she was sick, so I went to see her injured leg." Liu Yingyue said.

"You were there yesterday and stayed there for half a day today. Aren't you afraid that the villagers will gossip about you?" Liu Dalang said with a serious face.

"Brother, the Qin family is my future in-laws' home, why can't I go?"

"You haven't even started dating yet, and you've already decided on your in-laws' family? Aren't you ashamed?" Liu Chuyue frowned.

"Grandpa arranged it, can I still go back on my word?" Liu Yingyue said.

"Even if you are engaged, you can't always go to the Qin family. Your sister-in-law and I have been engaged for three years, and before we got married, she never came to our house. An unmarried girl should have her own modesty, Yingyue! If you get married this way, people will not look down on you. Look at your sister-in-law, who has said anything bad about her?" Liu Dalang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, second sister, you are too reckless." Liu Jiang sighed.

"Mom..., didn't I just go to the Qin family? Why are my elder brother, elder sister-in-law and elder sister all talking about me?" Liu Yingyue realized that she was being besieged, so she threw herself into the arms of Madam Liu and started to act like a spoiled child. How could her elder brother, elder sister-in-law and elder sister be telling her the rules?
He is looking down on the Qin family.

She has been engaged to the Gao family for a year and has met Mr. Gao twice, but no one in her family has said anything.

But today everyone is talking about her.

In fact, a family like the Qin family is not worthy of her taking the initiative to show goodwill.

"Will you go next time?" Madam Liu felt sorry for her second daughter, but she also did not approve of Liu Yingyue's approach.

Liu Yingyue hummed twice, "Let me massage your shoulders. I recently taught myself massage. Yesterday, she said her shoulders were sore. Rubbing them will definitely make them better."

Madam Liu laughed angrily and hugged her daughter in her arms, "Alright, alright, you're tired from going to the market, let's eat."

While speaking softly to Liu Yingyue, she called Liu Jiangshi and Liu Chuyue to bring up the food.

Liu Yingyue is Madam Liu's favorite. She is never asked to do tasks like serving meals and dishes. It is always other people who bring the meals and Liu Yingyue eats the ready-made ones.

But today, Liu Yingyue also rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help get the dishes.

This caused Liu Chuyue and Liu Jiangshi to look at her as if she were seeing something strange.

Liu Lizheng, who had been silent the whole time, saw Liu Yingyue suddenly become diligent and sighed, "Don't do it, let your elder sister and elder sister-in-law do it. When you get married, you will have a lot of work to do."

"The eldest lady of the Qin family is in poor health and has been sick all year round, and her sister-in-law is not very smart. If my second sister goes to the Qin family, I'm afraid she will suffer." Liu Jiang shook her head.

"Can you please speak less? We are about to eat. Can't you say something nice?" Madam Liu frowned and scolded the eldest daughter-in-law.

Liu Jiang pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The food and dishes were set, Liu Jiang found her son, and everyone sat down to eat together.

The rules of the Liu family are that one should not talk while eating or sleeping.

Although everyone wanted to say something, no one dared to say anything since Liu Lizheng kept silent.

Liu Yingyue ate with peace of mind.

After the meal, Liu Jiangshi and Liu Chuyue took away the dishes and chopsticks, and Madam Liu wiped the table.

Liu Lizheng nodded to his second daughter and said, "Yingyue, sit down. Dad has something to tell you."

Liu Yingyue was talking to her nephew Liu Zhuer. Upon hearing this, she moved her stool towards Liu Lizheng.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Liu Lizheng frowned even more as he looked at his second daughter, who had a confused look on her face and was as delicate as a newly blooming crabapple flower.

He was reluctant to let his second daughter marry into the Qin family and suffer, but he had no other choice.

"I just found out that the Qin family owes a total of 865 taels of silver."

"Dad? Why does the Qin family owe so much?" Even Liu Dalang, who had seen a lot of the world, was shocked.

"Ah? Dad, will Yingyue still have a good life after marrying him?" Liu Chuyue looked at Liu Yingyue who had a calm and indifferent expression and almost cried.

"This, this... this is too much." Liu Jiang said in surprise.

Madam Liu was so upset that she couldn't speak. She just hugged Liu Yingyue and sighed.

She blamed her second daughter for being too ignorant and being tricked by others into marrying into the Qin family.

It’s because the Qin family is so useless. How come they owe so much debt?
I’m afraid I’ll never be able to pay it off in my lifetime.
