Jin Guilan also had the same smile. She patted Song Qinglian on the shoulder and said happily: "Oh my silly girl, how could my parents not come back to take care of such a big happy event? After all, it is still our family.

Qinglian strives for success."

Song Qinglian was confused and looked at Song Daquan and Jin Guilan in surprise. She couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of happy event is this?"

"Oh, you don't know yet, right?" Song Daquan said happily: "Silly girl, it's you who have brought glory to my parents. They have already paid the betrothal gift and are waiting for you to marry me!"

"What? Song Qinglian was shocked, her heart trembled, and she immediately jumped up from her seat, "Father, mother, what are you talking about? Who do you want me to marry?"

"Oh Qinglian, what are you in a hurry for?" Jin Guilan was not surprised by her reaction. He just pulled her to sit down again, patted her shoulder, and said, "Listen to me, you must know this."

What a thing, it makes me so happy!"

"You know, Mr. Li Jinshan, our businessman in the capital, today he and his concubine came to the opium shop to come to your father to propose marriage to his son."

"They say that as long as you can be his son Shitou's concubine and take good care of him, they are willing to pay ten thousand yuan to let you in in a glorious way."

"Although you are a concubine, being the concubine of a rich family is much better than being the eldest wife of a poor family. People have said that you are their son's first concubine. After you marry, your status will be no less than that of a poor family.

The first wife."

"The betrothal gift has also been given. Look at their splendid display. This is only part of it. If it were all given, our family would not be able to afford it. Your father and I have already agreed, and now we are waiting for the pick.

I wish I could marry you on a good and auspicious day."

"Oh, our hard life is coming to an end soon. Once we climb such a high branch, we will no longer have to worry about food and clothing. My daughter, my parents are all blessed with you. You are really ours

The lucky star of my family!"

"What did you say?" Song Qinglian almost trembled when she heard that her face suddenly changed, and even her voice was trembling: "Father, mother, why didn't you just ask your daughter and just made a bet for your daughter?"

Song Daquan didn't notice the sudden change in Song Qinglian's face at all, but he became more and more cheerful as he talked, laughing loudly: "Do I need to tell you about this happy event? I can climb such a high branch, so I don't need to think too much!

"

Song Qinglian's heart suddenly sank. She felt that something was wrong. Her parents were greedy for money, so naturally she couldn't quarrel with them.

So she could only stand up, walk to the center of the hall, kneel down, and sincerely plead to Song Daquan and Jin Guilan: "Father, mother, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. My daughter cannot agree to this marriage. Please ask my father, mother and Li

The master begged me to cancel this marriage."

The smile on Song Daquan's face disappeared immediately, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, stared at Song Qinglian, and asked solemnly: "Girl, what did you say, can you say it again?"

As soon as Song Daquan's voice entered Song Qinglian's ears, she would feel shuddering, fearing that his fists and kicks would fall on her in the next second.

Her whole body started to tremble, but she could only restrain her fear and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, my daughter really can't agree to this marriage."

"What did you say?" Song Daquan became angry as expected, and slammed the table. The broken table made a "squeaking" sound, which made Song Qinglian feel even more terrified.

Song Daquan clenched his fists and said to Song Qinglian with a bit of sullenness: "I'm afraid you are stupid, girl. Who is Mr. Li? You are lucky that he can identify you and serve his son."

"If you quit this job, where can I find such a good family for you? Are you really willing that our family will be so poor for the rest of our lives?"

Song Qinglian suppressed her fear, raised her head, looked at Song Daquan, and begged with a trembling voice: "Father, you married your daughter to that Li Jinshan's son as a concubine, because you only care about their family's wealth."

"If you want money, my daughter can find a way to make it. It doesn't have to be this way. My parents must also know that although Li Jinshan is a businessman, he has a cruel personality and often bullies the people. He is definitely not a good person."

"And his son is born stupid, how can parents

How can I bear to let my daughter become a concubine to such a person? My daughter would rather marry a poor family as a wife than a rich family as a concubine. Qinglian begs her parents to cancel this marriage."

"Nonsense!" Jin Guilan also got angry, pointed at Song Qinglian, and shouted sternly: "You girl really don't know how to sympathize with your parents. Your parents have worked so hard to make money to support you when you grow up like this. Is it easy for your parents?"

You finally got the chance to repay your parents, but you still refuse. You damn girl’s conscience is being eaten by dogs.”

"I tell you, this marriage has been decided, and there is no reason to take it back. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. It is not up to you to make the decision. This Li Shi, you must marry whether you marry or not!"

"

Song Qinglian's body trembled and she fell to the ground. At this moment, she felt that the whole world had collapsed, and a sense of helplessness enveloped her whole body.

"No..." With tears in her eyes, she shook her head and said tremblingly: "Father, mother, daughter... my daughter really can't marry that Li Shi. If she marries him, her life will not be easy for her.

.”

As she spoke, she crawled to the feet of Song Daquan and Jin Guilan, knelt humbly in front of them, and begged: "Father, mother, please forgive Qinglian for speaking so bluntly. Qinglian already has a sweetheart whom she wants to marry."

There is only him and no one else."

"If dad and mom need money, we can work together to make money so that dad and mom can live a good life. We...we don't need to cling to others."

"Idiot!" Song Daquan roared angrily, and kicked Song Qinglian on the shoulder. He kicked Song Qinglian to the ground, pointed at her, and said angrily: "I tell you, you don't know what is good, what do you think?"

Just by selling the few shabby sachets you sell, is it enough to support your parents until they die?"

"My sweetheart, my sweetheart has no purpose. Can he give such a large betrothal gift to our family? Can he pay 10,000 yuan to marry you? If he has this ability, I agree to let you marry him. This relative is you

I've decided it, don't try to play any tricks on me."

"You are waiting for me to marry you to the Li Mansion. If you cause any trouble for me on the wedding day, I will beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he stood up and said angrily: "I'm not here to spend time with you. I finally went home and my mood was completely ruined by you, an ignorant thing like you."

"Just stay here, you won't be able to marry anyone except Li Shi for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, he threw up his hands angrily, walked out of the house angrily, slammed the door shut, and disappeared.

"I won't accompany you anymore, why don't you make your own appointment!" Jin Guilan also stood up and shouted angrily: "I used my own time playing cards to come back to help you sort this out, but you don't know how to sympathize with you at all.

Mom, why did I give birth to this thing like you!"

"Just stay here by yourself. Don't even think about breaking off the engagement. It's impossible!"

She stood up as she spoke, slammed the door with a bang, and walked out of the house.

The sound of the door still echoed in the small hall, and it seemed that even the glass was shaken out. Song Qinglian collapsed on the ground, her eyes were blank, and she couldn't even utter a word of condolence.

Her parents finally returned home, and just like that, they left again, leaving her alone to face the cold wall.

Silent dusk enveloped the entire courtyard. Song Daquan kicked her on the shoulder mercilessly, and she was still in severe pain. Looking at the small window, a feeling of despair penetrated her heart.

After a long time, the tears in her eyes finally fell. She lay alone on the cold ground and cried uncontrollably.

Why do things like this always happen to her? Why can't God allow her and Ming Jingxuan to be together smoothly? Is it really so difficult for people who love each other to stay together?

Brother Xuan, I don’t know what our future will be like. I’m just afraid that I can’t escape the clutches of fate. If I can’t stay with you in this life, what’s the point of the rest of my life?

The night shrouded the dilapidated courtyard, and in the desolate room, there was only a thin girl with disheveled hair, lying on the ground, crying heartbrokenly.

Since that day when Li Jinshan proposed marriage to Song Daquan for his son, Song Dynasty

Daquan began to happily prepare to marry Song Qinglian to the Li family. He no longer spent time in the opium den like before, and went home from time to time, as if he was planning something.

Jin Guilan, who had always been indifferent to family matters, was also interested in marrying her daughter. These days, she no longer went to Mrs. Kuo's house to play cards and have fun. She also lived at home and discussed with Song Daquan how to marry Song Qinglian to Li

Government affairs.

The two of them worked together to plan something, and thinking about their common interests, they no longer quarreled over the trivial matters before.

This was the first time in Song Qinglian's life that she saw her father and mother living together in harmony without causing a huge quarrel. If there were no other reasons, she would definitely be very relieved and happy to see her father and mother living together in such harmony.

But their purpose was not simple. They were plotting against themselves and their biological daughters. They wanted to use their biological daughters in exchange for their own interests. Instead of seeing her parents like this, she was far more disturbed than watching them quarreling.

Flustered.

In the past few days, the worry in her heart had become more and more intense. Every time she watched Jin Guilan and Song Daquan discussing things through the crack in the door of the room, she could not help but feel frightened.

Although she didn't know what they were talking about specifically, she knew it was nothing more than how to marry herself to Li Shi as a concubine and how much dowry she could ask for from Li Jinshan.

At home these days, she didn't dare to say a word or leave the house. All her worries were hidden in her heart, and she was about to be tortured crazy.
