Chapter 310 New Year’s Eve

Chapter 310 New Year’s Eve

By the way, Jiang Lin’s retribution is far more than this.

The news that he had gone to Liang Laoer's house in a big way to seek reconciliation with Qianhuan has now spread to everyone in the village. He has been firmly labeled a gigolo, and the Jiang family has become a topic of conversation and a joke for everyone.

Although Mr. Liu's family lived in the town, they were well-informed. These things could not be hidden after all, and all fell into the ears of Mr. Liu's family.

When Master Liu found out, he was furious. "This is outrageous. Our Liu family paid for his education, but he dared to go back to his old lover behind my daughter's back. I will not agree to this marriage no matter what. I will go to the Jiang family to cancel the engagement immediately."

When Miss Liu learned about this, her first reaction was anger, but she liked men like Jiang Lin who were well-educated and handsome. When she saw her father was going to cancel the engagement, she immediately panicked.

Miss Liu quickly pleaded, "Dad, please don't cancel the engagement. I think Jiang Lang must have been confused for a moment, so he wants to go back to his old love. Let's give him another chance."

Miss Liu is in love, but Mr. Liu is not as stupid as his daughter. Mr. Liu has only this one precious daughter, and there is no son in the family to inherit the family property. He has been shrewd for most of his life, but he does not want to see the family property he has worked so hard to earn fall into the hands of an outsider with evil intentions.

Originally, Mr. Liu looked down on the poor Jiang Lin. If he had not passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, Mr. Liu would not have agreed to marry his daughter to him.

But with Jiang Lin's character, even if he could really pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future, he might not be good to his daughter. If he were gone in the future, with his daughter's brain, Jiang Lin would eat her up until nothing was left.

Mr. Liu ignored his daughter's objection and said firmly, "I must go to the Jiang family to cancel this marriage.

After that, he comforted Miss Liu, "My dear daughter, don't worry, Dad will definitely find you a husband better than Jiang Lin and marry you off in a grand manner."

Miss Liu cried and said, "Dad, there is no better man than Jiang Lang in this village. Jiang Lang is not only handsome, but also good at studying. If we really cancel the engagement, it will not be easy to find another man better than him. I beg you not to cancel the engagement."

"If you can't find him in the surrounding villages, then I'll go to the next county to find him for you. If you can't find him in the next county, then I'll go to Lingzhou City to find him for you. I don't believe that I can't find a better man than Jiang Lin."

After saying this, Mr. Liu quickly took people to the Jiang family to cancel the engagement. It was of no use for Miss Liu to cry at home.

Jiang Lin was extremely anxious when he knew that Mr. Liu had come to cancel the engagement. He had no hope of getting back with Qianhuan, and he couldn't afford to lose the big tree of the Liu family.

He immediately knelt down and cried in front of Mr. Liu, "Father-in-law, you must not cancel the engagement. I love Yingying sincerely."

Mr. Liu snorted coldly, "If you are sincere to my Yingying, why did you go to your old lover to ask for reconciliation? Our Liu family has never lost face like this. I will withdraw from this marriage today."

Jiang Lin argued, "Father-in-law, you misunderstood. I was possessed by evil spirits a few days ago, so I did that. Now my mother has invited a magician to come to our house to exorcise the evil spirits, and I have come to my senses. Father-in-law, please do not believe the rumors outside. My sincerity towards Yingying is witnessed by the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon."

Mr. Liu is not easy to fool and he does not believe in ghosts or gods. No matter what Jiang Lin says, Mr. Liu will not buy it.

The more Jiang Lin begged so humbly, the more Mr. Liu looked down on him. The marriage was eventually called off, and Mr. Liu was too lazy to get back the money he had spent on Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin was unwilling to be broken off his engagement. Thinking about Liu Yingying's obsession with him, he went to Liu's house several times to find Liu Yingying. However, Mr. Liu had already locked Liu Yingying at home, so Jiang Lin couldn't see her at all.

In order to appease Miss Liu, Mr. Liu quickly asked a matchmaker to find another scholar in another county. This scholar was chosen exactly according to Miss Liu's preferences, and was even better than Jiang Lin in terms of appearance, height and temperament.

Miss Liu was making a fuss at first, but after meeting the new date arranged by her family, she immediately became quiet.

Seeing that this scholar was also well-educated and more handsome than Jiang Lin, Miss Liu stopped making a fuss and agreed to the marriage as arranged by her parents.

Mr. Liu was afraid that things would get more complicated if the time went on, so he even asked them to get married after the New Year, and Miss Liu didn't object. Now, Jiang Lin had no hope at all.

Jiang Lin reaped the fruits of his own action. Because of his greed, he failed to catch either sesame seeds or watermelons. All were lost, and the villagers lamented over this.

The Jiang family's affairs did not affect Qianhuan's family's good mood for the New Year. On New Year's Eve, the whole family and the servants happily had a reunion dinner together.

Qianhuan gave New Year red envelopes to Wenjie and the servants. Qianhuan also went to the teahouse in Qingxi County in person and gave rewards to the servants there.

On New Year's Eve, Qianhuan received a pigeon letter from the prince. In the letter, the prince described some lively scenes of the New Year in the capital. At the end of the letter, the prince couldn't help but express his longing for Qianhuan.

"Huan'er, the New Year in Beijing is really lively, with every household setting off firecrackers, watching lanterns, and many dragon and lion dance troupes performing on the streets. But without you, no matter how lively it is, it has nothing to do with me. I miss you so much, remember to come back soon! Love you, Ziyu."

Qianhuan was reading the letter in the room and couldn't help but smile sweetly on her face.

She took out a pen and paper and wanted to write a reply to the prince. However, she was not satisfied after writing several times. Finally, she suddenly thought of a poem, which was very suitable for her and the prince's current situation. She wrote it down quickly and asked Leng Feng Leng Yu to send a pigeon to the prince.

The prince received the letter and opened it impatiently. On it was a poem, "The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, the Milky Way is far away and dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Tender love is like water, and the good time is like a dream. Can't bear to look back at the magpie bridge? If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should they be together day and night?"

After reading the entire poem, the prince was unable to calm down for a long time. His Huan'er was truly a talented little girl. She could even express her feelings in such a poetic way. He really had found a treasure.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qianhuan took her family to Liu's parents' home again. Liu's two sisters also returned to their parents' home with their families. The whole family gathered together to talk and laugh, it was really lively.

Thanks to Qianhuan's help, the lives of Liu's brother and two sisters have undergone tremendous changes. For this, they are all grateful to Qianhuan.

Qianhuan feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees that her relatives who are kind to her are living better and better under her leadership.

After returning from Liu's parents' home, Liang Wenyong and his family also brought gifts to Qianhuan's home to wish them a happy new year. Wenyong and Zhaodi are now living a more and more prosperous life, and they are very grateful to Qianhuan.

In the following days, those families in the village who worked as helpers in the soy sauce factory came to visit Liang Laoer and his family with gifts one after another. Everyone was full of gratitude to Liang Laoer's family.

From everyone's simple actions, Qianhuan truly felt for the first time the happiness that a sense of value brought her.

In the past, she always thought that being a rich woman and living a life without worries about food and clothing would be happiness, but now, she suddenly felt that while making money, she could also make more people's lives better and do more meaningful things, which was even more of a happiness.

No wonder our ancestors often said, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world." She now has a deep understanding of this. She thinks that in the future, within her ability, she will work harder to benefit the people of Dayuan.
