Chapter 28 - Bill

Wu! It turns out it was that gossipy old lady

When Qiao Qiqi heard it was her, she was no longer surprised.

"Qiao family girl, have you and Qin family boy really registered your marriage? When are you planning to hold the wedding?"

Seeing that Qiao zhiqing was silent, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but ask curiously.

Just as the two were talking, more villagers came over.

At this moment, seven or eight villagers were standing in front of Qiao zhiqing.

Some of these people were people the original owner knew, and some were people the original owner didn't know.

After searching through the original owner's memories and confirming that there was no one with whom the original owner had a grudge, Qiao zhiqing generously took out the dozen or so candies she had put in her pocket before leaving and distributed them to everyone.

"Since everyone's here, I'll take this opportunity to let you all know that Qin Huai and I did indeed go to town to get our marriage certificate yesterday. We plan to hold the wedding after the autumn harvest, so please come and join us for the celebration!"

Qiao zhiqing was in a hurry to catch the train, so she quickly left after handing out the candy.

The villagers watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the candy in her hand, and began chatting as they walked towards the field-

"Didn't this Qiao girl used to like that educated youth surnamed Hou? She was making a scene in the village just a couple of days ago. How come she suddenly married Qin Huai?"

"Who knows? But Qin Huai is indeed a good young man. He is capable and filial. Apart from his family's poor conditions, he is much better than that Hou guy."

"So what if you're poor? Being poor is honorable! Besides, although Qin Huai's family is poor, his father is a martyr, and Qin Baojun also returned from military service with honor. Their character is impeccable."Just as everyone was discussing this, a voice suddenly rang out-

"Did you guys notice that Qiao zhiqing came from the direction of Qin Huai's house, not Qiao's? Could they have slept together beforehand?"

The air fell silent for two seconds after he said that.

There's nothing wrong with the two of them getting married and living together, but everyone knows that Qiao zhiqing used to like Hou Chen .so everyone's curious about why she suddenly got married to Qin Huai...

Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but wonder if they had slept together without being legally married.

"Does Team Leader Qiao know about this?"

As soon as Qin Huai arrived at the field, a short, thin man ran towards him; this man was Zhang Qing.

"Brother Qin, where did you buy that apple last night? It was so sweet! I've never eaten such a sweet apple before. I'd like to buy some for my mom too."

It would have been better if Zhang Qing hadn't brought it up, because the moment he did, Qin Huai thought of last night and his face darkened.

He was reluctant to eat the apple, intending to take it back to Qiao zhiqing after catching the fish, but Zhang Qing accidentally saw it.

The glutton immediately started complaining of thirst as soon as he saw the apple, so Qin Huai had no choice but to break it open and give him half.

Although he ate the other half because he couldn't put it back in his pocket.

But if Zhang Qing hadn't insisted on eating it, the apple could have been taken back to Qiao zhiqing.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai said coolly, "The supply and marketing cooperative in town."

Zhang Qing frowned. "I've bought apples from the supply and marketing cooperation in town before, but I've never bought anything sweet. Are they from the same orchard?"

Whatever the reason, Zhang Qing immediately said, "Then when I go to town in a few days, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two jin."

Qin Huai remained silent.

Not all the workers had arrived yet.

Seeing that there weren't many people around, Zhang Qing suddenly leaned close to Qin Huai's ear and whispered, "I found out about the watch tickets you asked for last night. They're a bit expensive, especially the Shanghai brand watches, which cost 50 yuan each."

A glint of cunning flashed in Qin Huai's eyes, and he nodded, "Understood."

Zhang Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Brother, why do you suddenly want that thing? It's not for eating or drinking. What's wrong with having 50 yuan? Besides, this is just the ticket. The watch costs more, I heard it's over 100 yuan.

It's like robbery, almost the price of a bicycle. If you ask me, you'd be better off buying a bicycle. It would be more convenient to go town..."Betore Zhang Qing could finish speaking, he suddenly saw Qin Huai stand up and leave.

"Brother, wait for me!" Zhang Qing immediately chased after him.

After catching up with Qin Huai, he continued rambling.

"Why are you walking so fast? It was the same last night. I came up from the river and hadn't even finished getting ready when you left. I called after you for ages, but you didn't wait for me. I was in a hurry to catch up with you, and I not only tripped and fell but also lost a fish. I searched for ages but couldn't find it."

Seeing that Qin Huai ignored him, Zhang Qing muttered dejectedly, "If I didn't know you were single, I would have thought you were in a hurry to go home and sleep with your wife."

Suddenly, Qin Huai stopped abruptly.

Zhang Qing wasn't paying attention and bumped his forehead into his back with a thud.

"Aww!" Zhang Qing's tears fell on the spot.

"Brother, why didn't you say anything before you stopped? Ouch, that hurts so much."

Qin Huai turned around and looked at his teary-eyed appearance.

Thinking about what he said, she glared at him.

That'll teach you not to talk nonsense!

Zhang Qing was glared at and felt confused. Just as he was about to ask what he had done wrong, he suddenly heard Qin Huai lower his voice and say, "Let's go up the mountain again tonight. This time, let's do something big. We've been working on the wild boar traps in the mountains for so long, it's time to go and see them."

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about the soreness in his nose.

"Brother, you're finally going to make a move!"

He had been eagerly anticipating it fo

long time, but Qin Huai kept saying that things were getting tense and refused to take action. Now that he could finally go, Zhang Qing was immediately eager to go.

Big red apple, here I come!

As Qiao zhiqing walked to the village entrance, she encountered numerous groups of people who greeted her, all of whom invariably asked about her and Qin Huai's wedding date.

Qiao zhiqing responded with a smile to each one, and by the end, her face was stiff from smiling.

We finally arrived at the village entrance where we were waiting for the bus.

Seeing that no one was around, she finally had some peace and quiet and breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as she turned around, she saw the two people she least wanted to see walking towards her.

Hou Chen and Zhang Jingya never expected to run into her here.

The two of them immediately frowned, looking displeased.

But Qiao zhiqing was amused!

She immediately walked towards the of them, and when she arrived in front ,Huo Chen she reached into her pocket and took out a folded piece of paper.

Before she could even speak, Hou chen suddenly took a step back and said with a look of disgust, "Qiao zhiqing ,I don't know how you knew that Jingya and I were going to town today, but I think I've made myself clear to you. Please don't bother me anymore, and don't write me any more so-called love letters. I really don't have any feelings for you, and it's impossible for us to be together."

Qiao zhiqing was like: "???"

The original owner did indeed have a memory of sending love letters to Hou Yan.

Qiao zhiqing also learned from the book that every time Hou Chen received the original owner's love letters, he was clearly disgusted, but he would still deliberately take them back and put them in the open for other educated youths to see and read them aloud in public, in order to satisfy his vanity.

Moreover, whenever someone asked about this matter, Hou Chen would deliberately embellish the story.

Therefore, the reason why the original owner's affection for Hou Chen became so widely known was not only due to the original owner's bold declaration of love, but more importantly, Hou Chen's subsequent instigation.

The thought that Hou Chen clearly disliked the original owner, yet shamelessly accepted her things and disregarded a girl's reputation by publicizing her affections to the whole world made Qiao zhiqing want to tear Hou Chen's hypocritical face apart.

However, she needs to do the math before that!

Thinking of this, Qiao zhiqing sneered and slapped the paper in her hand onto Hou Chen's chest.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look! This isn't a love letter, it's a bill you owe me!"

"All of these items are things you took from me before. Are you going to return them to me item by item on the list, or are you going to return them to me in cash?"
