Dong Qiang looked up at the fierce-looking Qin Shen, and was so frightened that he ran to Wu Lanshi, yelling, “Aunt Lan, what do you mean? Didn’t you say your daughter had nothing to do with the Qin family anymore? Why are they coming to our door? Is your daughter still having an affair with Qin Shen?”
“Xiao Qiang, don’t be angry, it’s all a misunderstanding. My daughter is innocent.”
Wu Lanshi explained with a fawning expression, which almost made Yun Zheng burst out laughing.
Dong Qiang was even older than Wu Lanshi; wasn’t calling him “Xiao Qiang” a joke?
“Qin Shen, what are you doing? Didn’t our two families make it very clear on the day the engagement was called off that you and Wan Jun would each marry separately and not interfere with each other’s affairs?”
Qin Shen glanced at Wu Wan Jun and said sincerely, “Aunt Lan, I agreed to call off the engagement only because I felt I wasn’t yet capable of giving Wan Jun happiness. If you had found a suitable match for Wan Jun, I would give my blessings, but Dong Qiang is so much older than Wan Jun and has been divorced. I can’t just watch her jump into a fire pit.”
“Xiao Qiang has been divorced, but so what? Being divorced gives him experience and makes him more loving towards his wife!”
Wu Lan said matter-of-factly, then glanced at Qin Shen and said, “Look at yourself, you’re dirt poor, you don’t own a house, and you can’t even afford a piece of clothing. My daughter can eat meat every day and wear new clothes after she marries Xiao Qiang. Do you think I would let my daughter suffer after marrying you?”
“Auntie, I truly want to be good to Wanjun. Although I have nothing now, I have hands and feet, and I can create better conditions for myself. So I want to ask you to give me a year. After a year, I will definitely be able to bring betrothal gifts and marry Wanjun in a grand and glorious manner.”
Wu Wanjun’s eyes reddened with emotion, and her pair of autumn-water-like eyes looked at Qin Shen with brimming eyes. This man was usually not good with words, but he could stand in front of so many people and say such words. She truly had no regrets in this life.
Dong Qiang noticed Wu Wanjun’s infatuation with Qin Shen and, fearing she might change her mind, shouted, “Aunt Lan, I can give you three hundred yuan as a dowry right now. Those poor bast**ds in the Qin family have already sold their houses; even if they had three years, they wouldn’t earn three hundred yuan. I’m the right match for your daughter!”
Wu Lanshi scoffed.
“A year? After a year, it’ll be too late. Why should my daughter wait a year for you?”
Yun Zheng sneered. “Aunt Lan, isn’t Wanjun still a minor? We don’t necessarily want Wanjun to be with my brother, but you at least have to abide by the law! Underage girls can’t marry. If you dare let Wanjun marry, I’ll report you!”
Wu Lanshi panicked and quickly pushed Wu Wanjun, “Make Qin Shen leave now. Don’t forget your father is waiting for you to save his life.”
“Qin Shen, my father’s asthma is getting worse every year, and our family has no money left to treat him. Dong Qiang knows a doctor in town. If I marry Dong Qiang, he’ll have that doctor treat my father for free, so he can live a few more years. I can’t be unfilial and abandon my father. You and Zheng should go back and not interfere. We’re not meant to be.”
Qin Shen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He didn’t want Wu Wanjun to be in a difficult position and was about to pull Yun Zheng away.
“If I have a way to cure Uncle Wu, will Aunt Lan be able to stop Wanjun from marrying Dong Qiang?”
The girl’s clear, melodious voice rang out, and the surroundings fell silent instantly, as if everyone had misheard.
Wu Lan laughed mockingly, “Zheng girl, don’t talk big. Do you know how much it costs to cure asthma? Your Qin family can’t even afford to eat, how can you help our family? Dream on!”
