Volume One: Peasant's Joy 054 Persuasion, Heart's Desire

  "Could it be that Second Brother and Sister-in-law have arrived? Please, come in quickly." Fú Qiūlián said as she slowly stood up, looking at Lián Qīng beside her, "Sir, let's ask Second Brother and Sister-in-law to wait in the living room for a moment, shall we go over right away?"

  "Don't worry, my dear. I'll go ahead alone." Lian Qing helped her sit down in the chair beside him and smiled as he spoke, "Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are family, they won't blame you. I'll go first, if there's anything, I'll come back to fetch you, alright?"

  "That's good, just take good care of Er Ge and Er Sao. Thought for a moment and then reminded Liu Mama who was waiting for the response beside her, "You personally follow Gū Yé over, don't be slow."

  "Don't worry, miss. I'll get the best tea to serve you." Liu Mama smiled and bowed slightly, then turned to Lian Qing, "Please, sir."

  As he was about to leave, Lian Qing still reminded Fu Qiu Lian, "Don't worry, I'll take care of those things. Even if it's Father," he paused slightly, his eyebrows raised lightly, and a hint of cleverness flashed in his eyes, "he definitely won't blame you. Just trust me."

  It turned out he thought he was worried about Lian's old father at home?

  Fu Qiu Lian smiled and said, "Alright, I believe you, husband."

  After Lian Qing left, Fu Qiu Lian leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and played with a grape in her hand. In her mind, she began to ponder - this time, Lian Wu's couple must have come for something related to Li Shi, right?

  I don't know what orders Lao Ye gave to the couple, but hopefully it's not something like "if you can't bring her back, you're not allowed to return home". However, she couldn't help but laugh, after all, this is the Fu family, and her brother is a figure who can intimidate the Qian family, that's enough!

  The Qian family looked at the decorations in front of them, and after feeling anxious, they couldn't help but click their tongue and touch a glass vase on the table, exclaiming, "You say, how much silver is this worth? This, this third brother's family, really has a lot of money."

  "You know, Old Fu is the richest man in our town, would he be short of money? Don't be so petty-minded, sit back and don't let others look down on us." Lian Wu glared at his wife, although he said to be calm, but his rolling eyes betrayed his emotions. At this time, a pretty little maid brought tea, "Second Master, Second Madam, please have some tea."

  "Haha, okay, okay. Thank you." Unlike Qian's way of drinking tea, which was like pouring water down his throat, Lian was much more refined. He first took the tea and actually thanked the little servant girl, but after glancing at her, he couldn't help but stare - how could a little servant girl be so beautiful?

  This glance was quite straightforward, compared to the women at home, it's much more beautiful, it's simply a heaven and earth difference! Lian Wu looked at her with an air of innocence, as if he had done nothing wrong. He thought that all he did was take a few extra glances at the young girl, what's the big deal? Qian Shi didn't notice at first, but after several attempts to talk to Lian Wu without getting a response, she looked up and saw him staring again. Her anger suddenly flared up, and with a loud slap, she knocked over the vinegar jar on the table, slapping Lian Wu's arm, "I'm asking you, Lian, where are your eyes looking?"

  "What's all the fuss about? I'm not sitting like this, where can I look?"

  At noon, she felt a little guilty and glanced at the two young maids by the door with the corner of her eye. Seeing that they didn't pay attention to the couple at all, not even blinking, she raised her head to see Qian Shi's cold smile. For some reason, she suddenly became angry and shouted, "You just know how to shout, this is not our home, be careful, don't lose face."

  "You still know how to lose face, you..." Qian Shi's words were cut off by Lian Qing, who walked in directly from the door and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Are you here on business? If you need any help, I'll let Uncle know. We're family, no need to be polite."

  What's with that big lummox and his family? Even the two wives didn't dare to nod their heads unnaturally. Seeing Lian Qing, Lian Wu couldn't be bothered to chat with his own wife about something meaningful, he just waited until all three of them sat down, then looked at Lian Qing and sighed, "Father asked me to come invite you and your younger siblings back home, now that you're married, you can't keep living in your in-laws' house forever, right?"

  "Second brother, you're wrong. I've only been here for a day, what's this about 'staying at the Yue family's place for too long'? " Lian Qing smiled calmly and looked at Lian Wu and his wife, "If second brother and sister-in-law have come just for this matter, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

  "Third brother?" Lian Wu furrowed his brow, his tone somewhat urgent. "Third brother, Father's body is not feeling well, he hasn't eaten anything for a whole day now, and Xiang'er and the others are not at home - with the family in this state, how can you not return?"

  "What's the use of me going back?"

  "You go back, and Dad can rest assured. And you and Sanmei tell that big lummox... uh, I mean, Sanmei's brother to send Sweetie and the others back home. What's the point of making a fuss for one family? San Ge, don't you think Brother is right?"

  "Second brother is right, but I don't want to just go back like this." Facing his second brother, Lian Qing also didn't want to beat around the bush, took a sip of tea and spoke directly, "If you want me and my wife to help bring people out, it's not impossible. First, my family's wife's shop rent, interest, one cent will be taken out. Second, Li will apologize to my family's wife, and in the future, whoever bullies my family's wife is bullying me Lian Qing. Third, Tiantian has already helped her find a good husband, and she will get married as soon as she comes out. If father can agree to these three conditions and do it, I will go back home with my wife and persuade brother-in-law to release people."

  "Third brother, how can you negotiate with Father?" Lian Wu frowned, clearly displeased, and even had a hint of accusation in his eyes. "Just for the sake of that kind of woman, who is lazy and gluttonous, disobedient to Father, and quarrels all day at home? For her, you dare to disobey Father, and even bear a grudge against him?" In Lian Wu's view, women were like clothes, once discarded, they could be replaced with new ones. Moreover, this woman was useless anyway.

  "Second brother, don't mention this again in the future. In my heart, my wife is the best." After watching Master Fu's behavior that night, Qing also came to a realization - his wife was spoiled, and her father and eldest brother doted on her like she was their precious gem. She had married him, but it was understandable that she wasn't used to things yet. Besides, as a man, wasn't he supposed to pamper his wife?

  At this moment, Lian Qing felt that he had done many things wrong in the past.

  How can you abandon her just because she is not suitable?

  Life is tough, he can work hard.

  He can work harder if he doesn't have good conditions.

  As long as he and his wife live a good life, are of one mind, and work together in harmony, the days between these two people will only get better and better. When he has made something of himself in the future, is it not certain that they will have a good life?
