"Everyone in the village knows," Zhao Juxiang’s words completely ignited Xu Zhong’s fury.
Xu Zhong had just drunk a little alcohol, and now his blood boiled with anger, shoving Liu Sani.
Liu Sani, even though she knew this matter probably involved her daughter Xu Qinghu, hadn’t expected Xu Qinghu to audaciously accept the betrothal gift without discussing it with Xu Qinghe’s family.
These past few days, Xu Qinghu had gone to Ji Ying’s house, leaving each ti with a cheerful smile. Adding to that, the village gossip claid that because Xu Qinghe’s family was poor, they agreed to marry their daughter to Yue Family. Liu Sani had looked down on the couple for a long ti.
Usually pretending to love their daughter dearly, who would have thought that for that five hundred yuan betrothal gift, they would still marry off their daughter?
But today, the incident with Xu Qinghe made Liu Sani instantly realize that her daughter Xu Qinghu might have acted first without approval, which also agitated her.
Xu Zhong’s shoving action completely infuriated Liu Sani, and the couple instantly started fighting.
Xu Qingjiang hadn’t even understood what was happening when he saw his parents fighting. Xu Qingjiang looked at Zhao Juxiang, who was still stunned on the side, and shouted, "What are you dazing at? Pull mom and dad apart!"
The Xu Family was in total chaos.
The Xu Qinghe family had already prepared the straw. Xu Qinghe ca with the cart, laid the straw on it, found a mattress, and carefully lifted Xu Nianji onto the cart.
When it was ti to go to the county, Xu Nianhua and Ji Ying were supposed to stay ho, but Ji Ying disagreed, insisting on making sure Xu Nianji’s injuries were treated.
Xu Nianhua didn’t dare stay ho alone, so the family of five set out for the county, heading straight for the county hospital.
After so turmoil at the county hospital, it was already past ten. Xu Nianji’s wound was professionally cleaned and dressed, and once it was clear he had no other issues, everyone felt relieved.
Xu Nianji’s condition didn’t require hospitalization. After everyone had gathered themselves, they headed back ho, especially since it was sumr and the weather was very hot.
The family of five walked ho from the county. Despite so stumbles, they were not scared.
By the ti they reached ho, it was already twelve.
"Mom, you don’t have to worry about , I’m fine," Xu Nianhua said to Ji Ying, who ca over with a pillow, smiling, "I wasn’t scared."
"Silly girl."
Ji Ying sat upright on the bed and said, "Don’t worry, we’re still planning for you to go to college, we definitely won’t let you marry off so early."
"Mm."
Xu Nianhua nodded obediently, never doubting the love her parents had for her, the kind that was even more than what one would have for their own child.
"When I earn money, I’ll take good care of you and dad. I think I’ll stay single for life and stay by your side, accompanying you," Xu Nianhua said, cuddling up to Ji Ying while falling asleep, her voice cooing. In her previous life, she had been lonely all her life; this lifeti, being able to stay with her parents, she felt very content.
Not to ntion her older and younger brothers were doing well!
She didn’t want to marry, nor had she ever thought of marriage.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ji Ying reached out and stroked her hair, the soft strands slipping through her fingers. Unconsciously, her daughter had grown so much, tall and elegant.
She rembered the first ti she saw Nianhua, how small and skinny she was, just like a little monkey.
It was unimaginable how quickly she had grown up, her lips curling into a smile, she said, "It’s natural for a man to marry and a woman to wed, but don’t worry. Wait until you go to college. By then, our Nianhua will be a college student, and sure enough, there will be many boys who like her. Then, we will pick carefully."
