Chapter 11

Although Qin Lingnian’s house and Qin Feng’s house are adjacent, there is a very wide alley between them.

Moreover, Qin Wanliang and his friends were discussing building a new house and Qin Dayou’s marriage in the house. The discussion was so intense and exciting that they did not pay attention to the noise outside the yard for a while.

Furthermore, Yun Angge, Luan Yingjie and Qin Feng had only verbally exchanged sharp words before, and did not make a big quarrel, so it did not attract the attention of Qin Wanliang and others.

It was not until Qin Lingnian “accidentally injured” Luan Yingjie with a pen that Qin Feng’s eldest nephew saw that something was wrong and hurried home to call for help.

The Qin family was quite satisfied with Luan Yingjie. Even though he and Qin Feng had not yet married, they had already regarded him as a member of the Qin family.

Upon learning that Qin Lingnian had beaten Luan Yingjie, Qin Wanliang and the others ran over angrily. Judging from their eagerness to beat Qin Lingnian up, it seemed that they were going to avenge Luan Yingjie.

“Brother, it’s nothing serious. It’s just a misunderstanding between the kids. Now we’ve talked it out…”

Just when Qin Lingnian was about to speak, unexpectedly Qin Wanfang suddenly stepped forward to smooth things over and act as a peacemaker.

He is Qin Wanliang’s biological brother from the same mother, the youngest of the five brothers in the Qin family, and Qin Lingnian’s fourth uncle.

“Old Five, what do you mean by no big deal? Look, Yingjie lost so much blood, how can you say it’s no big deal?!”

Li Xian’e saw that Luan Yingjie’s hands, which were covering his mouth, were covered in blood, and the clothes on his chest were also wet with blood, and blood was constantly flowing out from between his fingers. She felt distressed and angry, and her tone was quite angry.

“Lingnian, you are so unreasonable. Why can’t you just talk it out politely? How can you hit someone?”

Li Xian’e was extremely satisfied with Luan Yingjie as her son-in-law. Because she doted on Qin Feng extremely, she naturally regarded this future son-in-law as more important than her own son. If it weren’t for Qin Lingnian’s military status, she would have asked her sons to pin him to the ground and beat him up.

“Second sister-in-law, calm down…”

“You can’t blame Lingnian for this. He didn’t do it on purpose…”

Other members of the Qin family also stepped forward enthusiastically and anxiously to act as peacemakers, talking to each other with spit flying everywhere, really not giving Qin Lingnian a chance to speak.

These peacemakers did not intentionally prevent Qin Lingnian from explaining, but they were too anxious and wanted to use their own power to quell this war without gunpowder.

Regardless of whether Qin Lingnian did it intentionally or unintentionally, he injured Luan Yingjie, so he was wrong.

Qin Wanliang and his wife also dote on Luan Yingjie, the son-in-law who is about to marry them, especially Li Xian’e who is famous for protecting her son.

And now Qin Lingnian is not a pushover either. It seems that the war between the two families will become more and more intense. Those who have been watching the fun silently take the opportunity to become “peace messengers.”

Their purpose was not to quell the war, but to take the opportunity to please Qin Lingnian.

Yun Angge just said that Qin Lingnian was promoted to cadre in the army. Ordinary soldiers are awe-inspiring enough, and now that he has become an officer, one must do everything possible to curry favor with him.

Not only the Qin family, but other villagers also stood up to smooth things over, and it was obvious from their words that they were on Qin Lingnian’s side.

These fence-sitters who bully the weak and fear the strong and go with the flow never imagined that Qin Lingnian, a peasant with no family background, could become an officer in the army with his own abilities.

Although I don’t know what rank of cadre he is, he is just an ordinary soldier in the army. Even the cadres in the commune have to give him some face, let alone the cadre leader.

When they thought about the bullying they had done to Qin Lingnian and his mother, they regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. Why didn’t they see that Qin Lingnian was such a promising kid…

“Uncle and aunt, Comrade Luan Yingjie wants to write an IOU to borrow money from Ange,” Qin Lingnian deliberately raised his voice with dignity and authority, drowning out the noise as he saw a group of enthusiastic men, women, young and old, all trying to grab the topic but failing to get to the point.

“I lent him a pen, but he was slow to react and didn’t catch it, so the pen hit his mouth… It was also my fault. I was too careless and thought that Comrade Luan Yingjie wouldn’t be able to catch a pen at such a short distance.”

Having said that, Qin Lingnian took out a stack of banknotes from his trouser pocket, pulled out two five-yuan bills and handed them to Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, take Comrade Luan Yingjie to the clinic. If that doesn’t work, take him to the commune clinic. Here’s ten yuan. If you don’t have enough for the medical expenses, you can pay for it first. I’ll give you more later. If there’s any extra, buy two cans of food for Comrade Luan Yingjie.”

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and held back his anger, puffed out his red cheeks, and did not reach out to take the money.

In fact, she wanted to accept it, because the money was what Qin Lingnian should give her, but if she accepted the money in public, she would definitely be scolded for being greedy for money.

Therefore, Qin Lingnian was not sincere in paying the medical expenses, otherwise he would have given it secretly.

It was like, he didn’t miss at all, he deliberately used Gangxiao to hit Luan Yingjie to vent his anger on Yun Angge.

Qin Lingnian really had never seen a woman before. He was actually bewitched by Yun Angge, this bitch. In order to protect this bitch, he even ignored a little bit of family affection.

Qin Wanliang and Li Xian’e finally understood the reason of what happened. After a moment of stunned silence, they exchanged glances. Just when Qin Wanliang and Li Xian’e were about to open their mouths to question, Qin Lingnian took the lead.

“Uncle, I want to take Ange to the county to get a marriage certificate. Can you please write a marriage introduction letter for Ange?”
