Chapter 162: Want to Go to the Capital City
"My sister is not getting married," he glared fiercely at Hu Li, "If someone has to marry, let Qin Xiangmei do it. The household registration is under my granny’s name, Qin Guohua, by what right does he force my sister into marriage?"
Hu Li immediately felt something was wrong.
If the household registration really was under that old hag’s name, then it wasn’t up to them anymore. It’s not like the old days with parents’ commands or whatever. Now it’s the age of liberation, the era of the New Society. No, she has to go back and discuss with Qin Guohua. In any case, Qin Xiangnuan must marry, that three hundred yuan had already been given to her parents for building a house. How could it be possible to make her spit out something that has already gone into her pocket?
Once Hu Li left, Qin Xiangyang was finally able to support the ashen-faced Granny Lu.
"Granny, are you okay?"
"I’m fine," Granny Lu shook her head, feeling truly old. But she can’t just retire yet, the children are still young, her daughter is gone, and she can’t let the only child her daughter left behind be ruined by their father.
Qin Xiangnuan knew about Hu Li’s visit and knew well the nature of people like Hu Li, who wouldn’t rest until they achieved their goal. She wasn’t afraid of them confronting her directly, but she was fearful of their possible unscrupulous methods.
She went to the village store to buy some spices for the family. As she prepared to head back, she felt someone behind her. It was an uncomfortable sensation, like being targeted by a snake—more precisely, a cold and venomous one.
"Eh, brother, how come you’re here?" she exclaimed joyfully. Sure enough, the person behind her hid away, and that watchful gaze also disappeared.
It was Wang Dali.
