The room was a mess, the cabinet standing in front of the window was unfolded, and an old wooden box inside had been turned over completely, and most of the fabric underneath was exposed.

Qin Zhengkang stepped forward stiffly, the paper inside was long gone, he didn't care about packing up his things, he turned around and walked out, his pace became faster and faster, and finally he ran.

Shen Yuanyao held a slightly yellowed thin paper in his hand, and the words on it hit his eyes one by one, and after reading it, he folded the paper along the creases.

She looked calm on her face, but several thoughts had already turned in her heart.

Li Chunhua saw that she read it carefully, and did not take back the paper, and said: "At the beginning, Zhengkang's father also bought this fine rice paper for Li Zheng to write the marriage contract, and I will not settle the account of this old matter with you, I will give you the marriage contract back to your Shen family, and you will give up if you return the marriage contract of Zhengkang." ”

Shen Yuanyao was begging for it, but she really didn't know where this marriage contract was, and just as she was about to speak, she was preempted by Jia Xiuli.

"What did my mother say, this marriage contract was made by the Qin and Shen families when they went to Lizheng, even if they quit their relatives, they had to wait for the two parents to go to Lizheng to retreat together, so that it could be counted."

Jia Xiuli's opening made Li Chunhua choke, and Shen Yuanyao also cast a strange look at this sister-in-law.

She loves to offend people with this mouth, and naturally has her own considerations in her heart. She can't get used to this sister-in-law, once the sister-in-law is dismissed, she won't be able to marry for a year or two, and she won't stay in the Shen family at that time? Isn't the Shen family's rations eaten?

You can still be confused in other things, and it is useless for anyone to talk about it before it is in front of your own interests.

"What are you talking about, this family affair is the Qin and Shen families, and it is okay for our two families to push it in private." Li Chunhua slapped the table, and his palms were sore, but he still held back his momentum and said.

"I didn't say it, auntie, you are not doing this authentically, why should you withdraw from our Shen family's family affairs, if you really want to retreat, find Li Zhenglai." How could Jia Xiuli be frightened by her momentum as a paper tiger, and the words she said made Li Chunhua's face turn bad.

"Aunt Qin, this marriage contract is not with me, why don't you rest here and wait for my father and mother to come back?" Shen Yuanyao didn't want this family affair either, so he could only open his mouth to explain.

Li Chunhua pointed at Jia Xiuli and then at Shen Yuanyao, unable to breathe.

In her opinion, Shen Yuanyao said this on purpose, she also went to the Shen family's field yesterday to make trouble, and when she saw Shen Houniu's dark and calm face, she was afraid that the hoe in his hand would hit her head, so she didn't dare to say more and turned around and went home.

Thinking that the men and elders of the Shen family had gone to the ground today, they came directly to coax Shen Yuanyao to give him the marriage contract, so it would be nothing, but he didn't expect the sharp-tongued eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family to be there.

"What kind of girl does you Shen Sanya want to rely on our family, if you don't take out the marriage contract today, I, Li Chunhua, will give you a good look!"

As soon as the last word fell, a tall man rushed in from outside the courtyard, his face was flushed, his lips were half-open and panting, it was Qin Zhengkang who came in a hurry.

"Mother, you go with my house." Qin Zhengkang looked at the sight of the three of them, and waited for his breath to even out and said.

"Zhengkang, you came just in time, our Qin family doesn't want this kind of daughter-in-law, my mother picked a good girl for you."

Li Chunhua saw that his son seemed to have found the backbone, and blurted out a series of words, and when he finished speaking, he found that he had missed his mouth.

Shen Yuanyao didn't react much, but Jia Xiuli looked at her with wide eyes, "I dare to find someone else, and I'm in a hurry to come up and withdraw from my relatives." ”

"What kind of person are you Shen Sanya, how can you be worthy of my Qin family, and quickly gave us the marriage contract." Li Chunhua saw that he had leaked his mouth, and he no longer concealed it and said directly.

Qin Zhengkang saw his mother talking, took two steps forward to help her, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't say it." ”

Li Chunhua shook off his son's hand, looked around the Shen family's house, and said sarcastically: "The Shen family sold their daughter to build this house in tatters, and I don't know what it will be when I sell it next time. ”

When she said this, Qin Zhengkang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shen Yuanyao, so he pulled his mother again and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, this family matter was set by my father, and there is no reason to withdraw from my family, if you let your father retreat, I will not retreat." ”

Li Chunhua was taken out by Qin Zhengkang before he could speak, and his hand was so strong that he couldn't break free, so he could only scold his son loudly: "Zhengkang, Shen Sanya has poured you some ecstasy soup, she also went to meet men privately, and she will retire from this family affair." ”

"Mother, you talk a lot, Yuan Yao is not the kind of person you say, just let me go."

Qin Zhengkang was panicked by what his mother said, he listened to his mother talk two sentences when he came to the house yesterday, but he didn't expect that his mother would really come to Shen's house to withdraw from his family, his face was flushed, and his voice was so loud that he frightened his mother.

Jia Xiuli saw that the people were gone, pouted and muttered something, and turned to enter the house.

Liu Anyi secretly probed out, and only came out when he saw that everyone was gone, and he was coaxed back to the house by Shen Yuanyao when people came just now. walked to Shen Yuanyao's side without saying a word, and stuffed his white and tender little hand into Shen Yuanyao's palm.

Here Qin Zhengkang and Li Chunhua returned home, the atmosphere was stagnant, and neither of them spoke.

Li Chunhua felt that the most comfortable life was after the death of Qin Zhengkang's father, although Qin Zhengkang's father did not give her any crimes, but he was not very happy, and he couldn't say anything, as long as his father said it, it was settled.

In the past few years, Qin Zhengkang has made money to support his family by himself, and he is also obedient to her, and occasionally feels that his lonely son is so intimate.

Today, in the Shen family, he was dismissed by his son, who has always been honest and obedient, and now he feels even more annoyed.

The main reason is that when I think of my son's refusal to withdraw from his family for Shen Yuanyao's sake, this account will be calculated on Shen Yuanyao, after all, her son gave himself no face because of her.

"Mother, if you are really idle, go to Aunt Liang's house." In the end, Qin Zhengkang spoke first, after all, it was his mother, but when he thought of the Shen family, he added: "This family can't be withdrawn, even my father won't agree." ”

Li Chunhua saw that his son was soft, and as a mother, he could still turn his face with his child, and most of his anger had just disappeared, and this latter sentence was like pouring oil.

"Our Qin family has already repaid what we owe, why do they Shen family want you to marry that girl, if you don't quit your marriage, I won't be happy for this girl to enter the door."

Qin Zhengkang knew that his mother wouldn't say anything good, so he simply didn't listen, took back the marriage letter and turned around and went back to the house.

Leaving Li Chunhua alone in front of the hall.

Qin Zhengkang went back to the house to pack up his things, put away the messy things that his mother had turned over one by one and put them back in place, and the old wooden box was placed on the table, and he was distracted for a while.

It was very cold that winter, and his mother couldn't stand the cold and didn't get up, so his father carried him one foot deep and one foot shallow to the house.

Li Zheng sat on a high chair in front of the ancestral hall of Liuye Village, and the cold wind blew his beard that hung down to the placket. At that time, Shen Yuanyao was still a milk doll, and he was already able to help her mother light the fire, Shen Yuanyao's round body was turning around in Aunt Shen's arms, and he felt hot when he looked at it.

His mother's body is not good, and she almost died after giving birth to him, and she has been cultivating for more than half a year, and she has not been able to give him a younger brother or sister later.

"This is the Qin family's elder brother." Qin Hua saw Qin Zhengkang and looked at this end, took Shen Yuanyao's little hand and nodded at him, teasing the milk doll in her arms, "Let the brother of the Qin family hug him, come." ”

He felt the cold air in his body sweep away, stretched out his arms to carry the person into his arms, and a man about his age came in outside the house.

Shen Hongwei quickly stepped forward and hugged Shen Yuanyao, ignoring Qin Zhengkang's outstretched arm, and said to Qin Hua: "Why don't you get more jackets for your sister?" ”

Before Qin Hua could surprise her second son when she suddenly appeared here, she was so surprised that she couldn't laugh or cry when he asked him.

Qin Zhengkang stood aside and watched Shen Hongwei tease Shen Yuanyao, but he couldn't intervene at all.

His father took the rice paper handed over by Li Zheng with a trembling rough hand, and he couldn't understand what the adults said, but from that day on, someone would always ask him nonsense why he didn't take his little daughter-in-law out to play.

Time flies quickly, Shen Yuanyao was sold out by the Shen family, Shen Hongwei, who had been on the wrong side with him since he was a child, left, and his father was also gone due to a cold, and the blank space in the middle can wear out all the memories.

But he didn't know why, he clung to the contents of this box, waiting for her to come.

Qin Zhengkang put the marriage contract back in his hand, the old box slowly closed in front of him, and his half-hung heart fell to the ground.

Before Li Chunhua's resignation from the Shen family could spread, there was another person at the entrance of the village.

The carriage looked inconspicuous but extraordinarily luxurious, the horse's fur was smooth and smooth, and the people in the village knew that it was a rich family when they looked at it, and even the little guy who sat in front of him to drive the carriage had an indescribable style.

"Uncle, do you know where Shen Yuanyao's family lives?"
