As soon as the siblings left, the atmosphere in the room became complicated.

"Second brother, second younger sister, this girl is joking with you. Don't take what she says to heart." Lin Qiuniang was extremely embarrassed and quickly changed her mind.

Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er's expressions were very ugly, and they obviously knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was not joking. But what could they do? How could they drag the person back and scold him?

"I see what Xiaoxiao said is absolutely right."

Before the couple could speak, Mr. Qin looked at them with a stern face: "You have really not taken care of Sanbao in these years. Now he has finally come up with something. As parents, you still say such things. I am ashamed of you."

Gotta panic!"

When Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er heard this, their faces became even uglier, and they didn't even realize how excessive their attitude towards San Bao was.

Zhao Cao'er said unconvinced: "Dad, no matter how you say it, I spent half my life to give birth to Sanbao. Is it wrong for me to teach him a few words?"

Qin Chuan looked at Mr. Qin's face and said cautiously: "Yes, dad, we didn't take care of him, but we didn't abuse him either! In these years, he has been studying in the capital, eating, drinking and spending money, and we have also given him money.

, otherwise he would still be here today?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Miao couldn't stand listening anymore: "The money you paid is not enough for Sanbao to pay for one year's training. Sanbao can study until now, because it is your eldest brother, sister-in-law and Dabao Xiaoxiao

Thanks to the efforts of a few children, do you think they are dictating things about the Three Treasures?"

Qin Shan echoed: "That's right, the clothes, shoes and socks of the third treasure these years were all made by my mother and your sister-in-law, and I sent them to him all the way. As long as you give some of your thoughts to the second treasure and the third treasure."

Sanbao, I will not care about this with you today."

These are all facts. When my mother and eldest brother told me straight away, Qin Chuan's face turned red with embarrassment and he kept making excuses: "The children at home are busy and busy. Isn't it too much to worry about?"

Qin Shan hummed: "Your family has more children than Lao Niu's family? How can your family have as many things as the village chief's family? You two just don't have the heart."

Qin Chuan was about to retort, but Mr. Qin interrupted him: "Okay, the first and second treasures are older, and you have enough to worry about their marriage. You have no time to take care of the third treasure's affairs, so I, the grandfather, will take care of it."

Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er looked at each other and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes. But they knew Mr. Qin's temper very well. If they dared to speak against his words, they would be the ones who would have a bad life.

After all, Zhao Cao'er was unwilling to give in and suspected that Mr. Qin had other plans. She pretended to complain: "Dad, Dabao is in business. Erbao, you also know that if you can be a scholar in this year's college examination, it's because there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. Now

I hope that the Three Treasures will bring glory to our ancestors..."

Qin Chuan also had the same idea and said at the risk of being scolded: "Dad, Sanbao is my son. I hope he will be well. Don't worry, I will treat him well in the future and take care of his affairs."

Now the eldest brother and Princess Protector have become the Qin family, and the third brother's official position is getting bigger and bigger, leaving only their second wife behind. If the third treasure becomes successful, but completely separates from his own family, in the future, the eldest brother and the third brother will

Let's drink together, and he, the old guy, doesn't have the confidence to do so.

There were also gossips in the village, he didn't want to be laughed at.

The couple was completely unaware of their own selfishness, and it might not be considered selfish in the eyes of others, but Mr. Qin was extremely disappointed and said coldly: "If you want to go back and treat Sanbao well, you have to see whether Sanbao is happy or not!"

After that, he waved his hand impatiently: "You go back and figure it out on your own. Don't worry about it until the end. The relationship between father, son, mother and son will be lost."

These words directly blocked the mouths of the couple. Knowing that continuing to argue would not change Mr. Qin's mind, they could only leave in a depressed mood.

"Dad, you already knew their temper. Don't get upset over such a thing at your age." Seeing his old father's ugly face, Qin Shan rarely acted like a considerate and filial son and comforted him.

Mr. Qin glanced at him and then looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, with a slight hesitation in his expression.

Seeing this, Lin Qiuniang took the initiative and said, "Dad, if you have something to say, just tell us and we will all listen to you."

Mr. Qin's expression softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "The second brother and his wife are not worried. If they put pressure on the three treasures in the future, the three treasures will definitely suffer."

Lin Qiuniang was so smart that she guessed what he was thinking. She looked at her husband beside her and did not answer.

"Dad, don't worry. You can't control the second child when you are old, don't you still have me? I will definitely watch him and not let him do whatever he wants." Qin Shan swore and patted his chest, failing to understand the meaning behind his old father's words.

Mr. Qin didn't expect him to understand, so he simply said straight to the point: "I want to adopt the Three Treasures into your name. What do you think?"

Mrs. Miao on the side did not expect that her wife would have such an idea. After being stunned, she looked at her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

Qin Shan was not sure about his wife's thoughts and did not respond immediately: "Qiu Niang, look at this..."

Lin Qiuniang looked at Mr. Qin with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Dad, Sanbao is a good boy, and I like him very much, but my second brother and the others will definitely not agree. I'm afraid that a quarrel will hurt the relationship between the two families."

These words reminded Qin Shan, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, dad, the second son is a bit of a bastard, but it is too unethical to fight with him for a son, and I don't think it's okay."

At this point, he also felt a little regretful: "If I had known they were treating the Three Treasures like this, I should have agreed to adopt the Three Treasures over and raise them with Xiaoxiao as twins."

It was Mr. Qin's idea to let them adopt the Three Treasures. After listening to their words, he realized that this was not a good idea, so he shook his head: "Okay, just treat this as nonsense.

, you don’t need to take it to heart, and don’t mention it to anyone else.”

Lin Qiuniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded respectfully.

Back in the room, Qin Shan asked curiously: "Are you not interested in adopting the third child or are you worried that the second child and his wife will make trouble with us?"

Lin Qiuniang replied while folding the clothes to dry: "Of course I'm worried about them making trouble."

Qin Shan inquired further: "If there was a father who forced them not to make trouble, would you agree?"

Lin Qiuniang asked: "Will you agree?"

Qin Shan shook his head: "How can we do it? If we really want to adopt an adopted child, the second brother and I won't have to do it."

Lin Qiuniang rolled her eyes at him: "Then it's over."

Qin Shan scratched his head, feeling unhappy all the time: "Dad's worry is not unreasonable, but it's a pity that Sambo was not born properly."

As he was talking, he suddenly became angry: "God is really unfair. Back then, we both prayed to God and prayed to Buddha but we couldn't have children. It was better for the second child and us to have children one after another. That's all. We gave birth to three treasures who were so well-behaved."

The obedient children don’t know how to cherish them, they really deserve to be punished!”

Lin Qiuniang had given up on not being able to have biological children many years ago. After listening to her husband's indignant complaints, she said speechlessly: "Now the village says that you have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes before you picked up Xiaoxiao. Let them know that you are blaming God."

, see if they will scold you for being ignorant."

The corners of Qin Shan's mouth curled up, and he suppressed his pride and said, "I just said it casually. I don't really blame God for making them jealous of me!"

Lin Qiuniang was too lazy to answer and asked him to put the folded clothes into the box.

In the spring of March, flowers are blooming all over the mountains and plains. The bees and butterflies that have been hiding all winter seem to have emerged overnight. They shuttle back and forth among the colorful flowers, attracting the black raccoons to jump up and down, not to mention how lively it is.

Qin Xiaoxiao pulled Sanbao out under the guise of picking flowers. Seeing the beautiful scenery on the mountain, he really became interested in picking flowers for an outing. He pulled Sanbao to find a cluster of orchids with a fascinating fragrance.

She wanted to dig up a few plants and plant them in the yard, so she found two pointed branches and dug them up.

Qin Xiaoxiao dug hard and said to Sanbao: "Just listen to what the second uncle and second aunt say, don't take it to heart. Whether it's studying or taking a scientific examination, you can do it if you like. It's not to cater to others.

Force yourself to do things you don’t like.”

She was not sure whether Sanbao had hope for Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er, and was worried that he would work hard to make progress just for the sake of their words, only to end up in vain.

"Xiaoxiao, I won't cater to others." Sanbao whispered. He was still in the stage of changing his voice, but his voice already showed a hint of depth: But I want to protect you.

"Don't worry, as Grandpa is here, my uncle and aunt will not force you." Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him and raised her hand to brush away the dirt that flew to the tip of his nose: "As long as you are safe and happy."

Sanbao also looked at her and said seriously: "I also hope you are safe and happy. If you are unhappy in the princess mansion in the future, can you and I go back to Qingshan Village?"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even think about it and responded: "Okay, if Brother Li and I are not happy, we will go back to Qingshan Village. If we get tired of staying in Qingshan Village, you will take mea and I will take rhubarb.

Let’s travel around the world together.”

Sanbao smiled, but his bright eyes were full of longing: "Smile, you can't go back on what you have agreed."

Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed his head: "If you don't regret it, I will never lie to you."

Sanbao thought about it and realized that he had indeed not been deceived by her. He was just teased by her countless times when he was a child.

Qin Xiaoxiao also thought of the "good things" she had done, and urged with a guilty conscience: "Dig quickly, dig quickly, let's dig back a few more plants, and next spring there will be a large field of orchids in our yard."

Sanbao didn't expose it, and his smile was full of tolerance: "Okay."

As the wedding day approaches, the Qin family is immersed in an unknown emotion.

I don't know whether it was affected by this emotion or other reasons, but Qin Xiaoxiao's mood gradually changed.

She couldn't tell whether it was anxiety or reluctance to part with the flowers and trees in Qingshan Village. The most important thing she did these days was to take Dahuang and Bieme around the place where they often played when they were children, but that carefree feeling

The state of mind can never be regained.

The day before the wedding, which was March 15th, Qin Huai and Mrs. Qin came to Qin's house with more than a dozen dowry cars.

Compared with the eighty-eight betrothal gifts from Princess Protector's Mansion, this dowry seemed a bit unsatisfactory, but it was filled with rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings on the market, and almost half of the Qin Mansion's savings were brought into it.

In addition to the dowry, Qin Huai also took out 20,000 taels of silver notes, asked Qin Xiaoxiao to keep them at the bottom of the box, and gave her six deeds of prostitution. These six deeds of prostitution belonged to six maids, whom he selected from the house.

Those carefully selected are all those who can be used.

"Master Qin, this, these are too valuable, I can't take them!" Qin Xiaoxiao firmly refused to take them. She did not recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. She deserved such a heavy dowry.

"It's just extraneous things. It's useless to pile them up in the warehouse. If you use them to deal with favors, you can make the best use of them." Qin Huai pushed back the gift list and the banknotes with a very firm attitude.

"Xiaoxiao, this was originally prepared for you, so just accept it, otherwise grandma won't be able to sleep well." Mrs. Qin also advised: "I don't have a second granddaughter, so who can I give it to you if I don't give it to you?"

?We will only be happy if you accept it obediently."

Qin Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, so he had to look to Mr. Qin and the others for help.

Mr. Qin thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Since it is the heart of the old lady and Mr. Qin, just accept it."

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang could not object, so they nodded and expressed no objection.

Secretly, they hope that their daughter’s dowry will be as large as possible, so that they will be more confident when they come to their husband’s family. However, they are not able to give such a generous dowry, and they feel somewhat resentful in their hearts.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao accepted the gift list and the banknote: "Thank you, Grandma Qin, thank you Master Qin."
