Madam Qin hugged her two granddaughters and said, “From now on, stay with Grandma. When your little uncle gets engaged, Grandma will take you to see your little aunt, okay?”
“Okay, thank you, Grandma.”
Boss Qin looked at Qin Xian and said angrily, “Xian, don’t go to pick her up. Since she wants to go back to her maternal home, let her stay there. Now, the business outside is looked after by you and AJun. I’ll only handle some matters related to the manor and crops. If you have time, help with the children. With me and your mother here, the children won’t suffer.”
“Thank you, Dad. I understand.”
Qin Xian’s matter was settled like this. The next day, Boss Qin went to find someone to choose an auspicious day. The soonest available day was seven days later.
Although it was a bit rushed, they managed to prepare everything they needed.
After choosing the date, the Qin family began preparing the betrothal gifts. For the betrothal gifts given together, it amounted to ten thousand and one tael. Additionally, there would be more when they went to the capital to propose.
While the Qin family was preparing for the betrothal, news about the Qin family also reached Su Yu’s desk.
After reading it, Su Yu squinted his eyes. He took the newly obtained information and went to find Su Long.
“Uncle and Aunt, this is the information I found about the Qin family. Take a look.”
After Su Long finished reading, he nodded in understanding. Wang Jinhe, curious, also leaned over to take a look.
“Qin Lang’s second sister-in-law is quite good, but his big sister-in-law is a bit difficult to deal with. However, his big brother is decent. Knowing that Qin Lang and Shanshan are getting engaged, he plans to settle things beforehand to prevent Shanshan from being bullied. But this Lu Ruixin’s mind doesn’t work well.” Just because she had three children, she thought others wouldn’t dare to do anything to her? How naive.
Li Yan walked while furrowing her brows, reading the contents above. “If she can treat her own biological children like this, only thinking about her natal family, the Qin family could be a bit ruthless, they could just divorce her.”
“Lu Rui xin’s younger brother owed gambling debts at the casino a few days ago. Although Lu Ruixin gave him a thousand taels of silver, that’s just a drop in the bucket. In a few days, people from the Lu Ruixin family will come knocking. They want the Qin family to help repay the gambling debts, and this is the best opportunity.”
Either Lu Ruixin wakes up and severs ties with her natal family, or Qin Xian directly divorces his wife. If Qin Xian divorces her, Lu Ruixin’s fate won’t be pleasant.
Wang Jinhe furrowed his brows. “This Qin Xian looks quite clever. How did he end up marrying such a wife?”
“That’s because when Qin Xian was doing business outside, he got injured, and Lu Ruixin saved him. At that time, Lu Ruixin was still okay, which is why they got married. However, since she gave birth to a son, she became arrogant. She probably thinks that with a son, she’s completely rooted in the Qin family.” Su Yu shrugged, explaining.
Lu Ruixin’s way of thinking was the most foolish.
If she treated her child well, making them unable to leave her, the Qin family might endure it for the sake of the child. Unfortunately, Lu Ruixin wasn’t very smart, and she wasn’t good to any of the three children.
She made all three children dislike her.
Boss Qin handed over all the business in his hands to his two sons at the end of last year. He only dealt with matters related to the manor and crops. There was plenty of time to take care of the children together with Madam Qin.
Now that Qin Xian’s youngest son is over three years old, even if there’s no mother, Boss Qin and his wife can easily take care of him.
“Lu Ruixin is stupid enough. Does she really think the Qin family can’t survive without her? She treats the child as a trump card but doesn’t treat the child well. There’s something wrong with her brain,” Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but comment.
Threatening with the child when none of the children like her isn’t a smart move.
“Now that Qin Xian has made a choice, let’s pretend we don’t know about this matter. Their family seems fine.”
Di Qing, this sister-in-law, is also good, and Shanshan should get along well with her.
“Su Yu, don’t investigate other people’s affairs in the future,” Wang Jinhe felt that it might not be a good idea.
“Don’t worry; I won’t in the future. Now that the two of them haven’t gotten engaged, I investigated their family to know more about them. It’s normal. As for the future, I definitely won’t interfere. However, the Qin brothers are good; we can extend a helping hand to them,” Su Yu explained to Wang Jinhe.
Investigating the character of the other party and the family’s relationships before a family engagement is normal. After all, it’s for the sake of the family’s children.
Wang Jinhe, after hearing Su Yu’s explanation, understood better. In the village, people also inquire about the character and family harmony of the prospective spouse before engagements, so it doesn’t seem unusual.
“By the way, do you know when they are coming over?”
“Seven days later, they should come after resolving the matter with the Lu family,” Lu RuiXin won’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Wang Jinhe nodded in understanding, “That’s good. However, the Qin family is probably going to have a hard time.”
With such a daughter-in-law, it’s like inviting disaster into the house. Their family was doing well, and they ended up with someone like her.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe’s muttering expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you talking about again?”
“Isn’t it true?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu and asked innocently.
Su Yu nodded with a suppressed smile, “Yes, you are right.”
Seven days later, the Qin family indeed came to finalize the engagement. This time, there were also many children with them. Looking at those children, Wang Jinhe was surprised.
When he looked at Qin Xian’s face and noticed the subtle fatigue, everything became clear. It seemed that the Lu family was indeed here to cause trouble.
Her eyes flickered slightly, leading the people inside.
“Grandpa, is aunt’s house here? It’s so beautiful here,” Qin Xian’s daughter asked curiously.
“Aunt’s house is not here; this is her brother and sister-in-law’s house.”
“Then where is Aunt’s house?”
“It’s very far away. When your uncle and aunt get married, I will take you and your siblings there, okay?” Qin Xian looked at his daughter with affection.
Since that woman didn’t want the children, he would take care of them himself. What did it matter?
Today, everyone was gathered at Wang Jinhe’s house, not at Yu Qingfeng’s.
The Qin family presented the betrothal gifts. Although these items were not as exquisite as those from the prominent families in the capital, they still showed the importance they attached to Shanshan. For them, it was already enough.
After exchanging engagement letters, the two families didn’t discuss the specific date for the engagement. Boss Qin took the initiative and said, “Brother Su, we can discuss the specific date for the engagement when we go to the capital for the ceremony. What do you think?”
Su Long and his wife naturally agreed, “Alright, we’ll follow your suggestion.”
At this point, the two families became in-laws, and the happiest person was probably Qin Lang.
With the engagement settled, Su Yu called Qin Xian and Qin Shu, along with Wang Jinhe, to the study.
Once there, Su Yu looked at the two and asked, “What kind of business are you currently involved in?”
