Chapter 738 Harmony
How could Uncle Qin not be angry when this kid picked up his treasure? Unfortunately, Shunzi got married earlier. If he had known this, he should have let Shunzi divorce Liu and marry Qian Ru instead.
It's too late to say anything now, but Qin Shuang can't get rid of their family. He must bring them wealth and glory.
"Is this really Lord Jiang?" Suddenly, Aunt Qin came up to Jiang Youzhen and said.
The movement was so abrupt and so fast that it stopped Jiang Youzhen from getting on the carriage.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Qin Shuang stepped forward and grabbed his aunt. He felt extremely embarrassed.
Originally, with the name of the Qin family, he felt that he was marrying a daughter-in-law from a lower class than Qian Ru, but who knew that the Qian family was better off than he thought, which made him lose the advantage in front of Qian Ru.
If the aunt pesters Jiang Youzhen again, he will lose face in front of the Qian family. He can curry favor with Jiang Youzhen, but the rest of the Qin family cannot.
"What? Can't I ask?" Aunt Qin struggled, very unhappy.
"Master Jiang, my son is going to take the exam for a scholar next year. Can you find a way to find a professor at the prefectural school to help my son?"
She pointed at her son next to her and said, "It's Qin Shun, Shunzi, come here quickly!"
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Who do I know you? Why are you so rude?
"Aunt Qin, the professors at the prefectural school must be juren, and they must be recommended and guaranteed by others. Your son should first pass the exam to become a scholar!"
"Wasn't it you who recommended Qian Chongen as the guarantor? He was originally a teacher. If he can do it, why can't my son?
You are a high-ranking official. Can't you help me for the sake of our relationship? If my son is well, then Qin Shuang will be well, and the Qian family will be well in the future, and they can help you!"
The woman spoke as if it was a matter of course, which made Jiang Youzhen laugh out of anger.
It seemed like she hadn't heard such shameless and self-righteous words for a long time. The last time she heard them was in the old house before the family split up.
Uncle Qin's eyes flickered as he stood by, and he wanted to step forward to stop him, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
Qin Shun was even more expectant. He would definitely pass the exam to become a scholar next year. If he had Jiang Youzhen's help by then, he could probably become a tutor, if not a professor, right?
"Don't talk nonsense! My teacher was originally the instructor of the provincial school, so it is only natural for him to be promoted to professor of the provincial school.
Besides, your son is not even a scholar, how can he be qualified to be a professor? How can I bend the law for personal gain and abuse my power for personal gain? If this gets out, won't you destroy my reputation?"
After Jiang Youzhen scolded, he looked at Qin Shuang.
"Qin Shuang, you are also a scholar, you know the rules here, right? Your Qin family is a century-old family after all, and now you have done something that damages your reputation. Isn't this bringing shame to the ancestors of the Qin family?
I have heard that the Qin family is very proud and they were also very strong in the past. Do you want to watch this family tradition be destroyed in their hands?"
Jiang Youzhen looked serious. She felt that Qin Shuang still had some dignity, but he couldn't deal with these scoundrels.
But if it continues like this, wouldn't Qian Chongen's family be implicated?
Qian Ru had nothing to do with her, but Qian Chongen had done her a favor in the past, so she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Well said! I chose to marry into the Qin family because of their family tradition, but I didn't expect them to act like this.
Qin Shuang, if you indulge them today, they will definitely cause trouble and implicate you in the future."
Qian Chongen hurried over, his face gloomy but his eyes as sharp as a falcon.
Qin Shuang looked guilty. He felt so ashamed for having lost face in front of his father-in-law.
Qian Ru also rushed over, and when she saw Jiang Youzhen standing beside her, a look of embarrassment and sadness flashed across her face.
"Uncle, I'll find an inn for you to stay for tonight. After all, Tongzhou Prefecture is not our Qin family's ancestral home, so I'll send you back home tomorrow!"
Qin Shuang made a decision. His father-in-law was forcing him to make a choice today.
"Qin Shuang, you have no conscience! If I hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death at home. Now that you've married the Qian family's daughter, have you forgotten how much we raised you? If this gets out, you'll be in big trouble.
After your parents passed away, we became your parents, and we will go to the government to sue you for being unfilial. "
Uncle Qin was anxious. How could they have such a good life after returning? Here, they had no worries about food and clothing. Every month, they could ask Qin Shuang for money for food and drink. It was better than having to hold on to face but starving at home.
Qin Shuang was suddenly embarrassed, and he looked at Qian Ru with pleading eyes.
Qian Ru took a deep breath, "How much silver do you want? I'll give it to you, but we have to sign a contract and not to entangle or embarrass my husband in the future."
Uncle Qin was stunned. Does this mean he wants to buy out the company?
"No, we have raised Qin Shuang for so many years. We are his parents. How can we cut off contact with him?"
"Then let's get a divorce! You won't get a penny." Qian Ru suddenly said.
This sentence shocked everyone, even Jiang Youzhen was shocked by her courage.
"Good! You are worthy of being my daughter, Qian Chongen." Qian Chongen took a deep breath, "Qin Shuang, now it depends on your choice. If you want to divorce, I can raise my daughter for the rest of her life."
Kong, who came over, wanted to say something but stopped, her face full of sorrow.
Qin Shuang was shocked and looked very hurt.
"Ru'er, why are you like this?" Qin Shuang was greatly shocked.
"This? This is not necessary, right?" The Qin family members did not expect it to turn out like this and were all stunned.
"It's up to you to choose between divorce and compensation." Qian Ru was very calm at this moment. She had already made up her mind that if Qin Shuang was unwilling, she would divorce.
She believed that even if she divorced and returned home, her parents would still support her.
"Qin Shuang, what do you think?" Qian Chongen looked at Qin Shuang. Ru'er alone could not express her opinion on this matter. It also depended on Qin Shuang.
Jiang Youzhen stood aside. Although he felt that Qin Shuang was very unlucky to have run into such an uncle's family, but now that his wife had stepped forward, shouldn't he, a grown man, shoulder the responsibility?
Isn't it that these people hold him hostage because they think he is a scholar who values his reputation? As long as this point is resolved, these people will not be able to hold him hostage.
Qin Shuang squatted on the ground, covering his forehead and shaking his head violently. He really didn't know what to do.
Although his uncles didn't treat him well, they didn't really starve him to death. And if he didn't meet his uncles' wishes, they would go to the government to sue him for being unfilial. Wouldn't that affect his reputation?
He wanted to study, take exams and become an official. With such a reputation, how could he succeed?
Why couldn't Ru'er understand him? It wouldn't matter if they lived together! Anyway, they had to pay for their uncle's retirement, and living together would save them some money, so why not?
Qian Ru's eyes flashed with disappointment, "If my husband feels embarrassed, then so be it, let's divorce!"
