194 Too Ungrateful

Qu Lianghua’s eyes were filled with anger towards Bai Wutong. Cui Lingyi’s originally calm gaze instantly turned cold.

Compared to Bai Wutong, Qu Lianghua’s status in Cui Lingyi’s heart was not even comparable to anyone in Youjia Village.

Bai Wutong was kind enough to give Qu Xin’er a spiral potato, but Qu Xin’er was willful and rash enough to ask her to be a cook. She ran out and was injured herself. Then, Bai Wutong asked Xiaobai to help them enter the mountain to look for Gu Zhongxun. Qu Xin’er was lacking a herb, and Bai Wutong gave hers. But Qu Lianghua was not grateful at all. Instead, he blamed her.

He was brainless and heartless. Such a man was not even as useful as the cesspit in their village.

Qu Lianghua met Cui Lingyi’s cold and distant gaze and instantly regretted it.

He was about to explain when he heard Cui Lingyi’s ice-cold voice. “You owe Little Phoenix a favor, not her owing you. Young Master Qu is too ungrateful to say these words!”

Qu Lianghua’s mind exploded. His face was red as he explained anxiously, “I didn’t mean it. I don’t have any ill intentions towards Madam Bai.”

Cui Lingyi did not give him any face. “You have your own answer in your heart.”

Qu Lianghua admired her clear eyes, but when these eyes saw through his heart, he couldn’t help but want to cover them.

Cui Lingyi did not even look at him and wanted to go upstairs.

Qu Lianghua knew that if she went, the misunderstanding that day would not be resolved, and they would no longer have any more fate together.

In his panic, he took a step forward and suddenly grabbed Cui Lingyi’s wrist. “Miss Cui, listen to my explanation! I really…”

Cui Lingyi did not expect him to be so rude to her at the Cui residence.

“Let go!”

“Let go!”

Two voices spoke in unison.

Qu Lianghua looked up in surprise. Cui Lingyi took the opportunity to shake off his hand and quickly ran behind Cui Shize.

Only then did Qu Lianghua realize that there were many people standing around the corner of the stairs.

Cui Shize, Yang Quanzi, Cui Muzhi, and Cui Shiji were all there. It was unknown how long they had been standing there and how much they had heard, but their expressions were uglier than one another’s.

Qu Lianghua recalled everything that had just happened. He was not confident in everything he said to Cui Lingyi. He lowered his head in embarrassment and shame, not knowing how to speak.

Cui Shize suppressed his anger and looked at his daughter comfortingly. “You and Muzhi go upstairs first.”

Cui Lingyi went upstairs. Cui Shize looked at Qu Lianghua again. The anger surrounding his body made Qu Lianghua not dare to breathe loudly.

He had thought he was a good kid.

Now it seemed that he had misjudged again.

Cui Shize warned Qu Lianghua, “There’s a difference between men and women. Young Master Qu, you have to respect yourself.”

He said this after taking into consideration Qu Yuanxian. If anyone else dared to touch Cui Lingyi, they would have been beaten up and sent to the authorities.

Qu Lianghua could tell that Cui Shize was dissatisfied with him. His heart skipped a beat. He did not want to give up just like that. He mustered his courage and suddenly knelt down. “Uncle Cui, I want to marry Miss Cui and take care of her forever.”

Even if Cui Lingyi was talented and beautiful, she was still a widow after all. Moreover, her previous family influence was gone. She could only be considered a farmer’s wife. In the countryside, who was worthy of her?

He did not have an honorary title now, but he would definitely have one in the future. Even if he did not, Cui Lingyi would still be the Second Young Madam of the Cui family after marrying into their family. If Cui Shize really doted on his daughter, he would definitely consider him. In addition, the two families had good relations. Cui Shize naturally knew that his daughter would not suffer any grievances if she married him.

Cui Shize almost lost his temper.

With his character, he dared to covet his daughter.

He suppressed his anger and said word by word, “Little Jiu’s marriage is up to her. She has no feelings for you. Young Master Qu, don’t force her.”

However, Qu Lianghua pestered him again and again. “Uncle Cui, I’ll definitely treat Little Jiu well. Just let her marry me!”

Cui Lingyi was Cui Shize’s precious daughter. He had not even taken a fancy to Qu Lianghua, so why would he persuade Cui Lingyi to marry Qu Lianghua?

Cui Shize had better give up on his ideas. “Do you have a concubine at home?”

Qu Lianghua was stuck instantly.

He did have a concubine, and she was pregnant. Once she gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son of a concubine.

He said slowly, “There’s only one.”

Putting aside the fact that he already had a child, he did not even meet Cui Lingyi’s standards because he had a concubine.

Cui Shize said, “Little Jiu wants to be the only one in her husband’s heart and not be separated until they are old. If Young Master Cui knows your limits, don’t pester my daughter anymore.”

Qu Lianghua hurriedly said, “I’ll send her out of the residence when I get back. I’ll definitely treat Miss Cui wholeheartedly. From now on, she’s everything to me!”

With a new person, he was abandoning the old. All the more one could not entrust her life to a heartless person like this.

No one showed it on their faces, but they looked down on him in their hearts.

Yang Quanzi said directly, “Let’s go. Don’t talk nonsense with him.”

Ever since Yang Quanzi heard that he had a grudge against Bai Wutong, he no longer had a good impression of him.

He was practically dreaming if he wanted to marry Little Jiu. Even if Cui Shize agreed, he would not agree.

When Qu Lianghua heard Yang Quanzi’s words, he panicked.

His main purpose here was to gain Yang Quanzi’s praise and improve his knowledge. With his reputation, his future career would be smooth.

At this moment, he had gone for wool and come home shorn.

In the end, Cui Shize still cared about his relationship with Qu Yuanxian. He said to him in a low voice, “My daughter can’t accept Young Master Qu’s blessing. Don’t mention it again.”

With that, before Qu Lianghua could react, everyone walked past him, as if he was some dirty thing that they could not avoid.

Qu Lianghua stood in the corridor in a daze. After a while, he looked up and saw Qu Xin’er looking at him with tears in her eyes. She questioned, “Didn’t Daddy say that I’m your one and only? Daddy, you’re a liar!”

It was obvious that she had heard everything he had just said.

Qu Lianghua quickly took two steps forward and wanted to hug her to comfort her and tell her that this was different. However, the sad Qu Xin’er did not want to care about him anymore. She quickly ran into the room and closed the door with a bang.

...

The next second, Qu Xin’er cried and shouted, “Get lost! Go find your one and only!”

Qu Lianghua looked at the door helplessly. He felt especially tired.

The marriage proposal did not spread throughout the Cui family, but with Qu Xin’er shouting, Qu Yuanxian eventually knew.

However, he did not know that Qu Lianghua was dissatisfied with Bai Wutong. He only ordered Qu Lianghua to control himself and his daughter. Otherwise, they could scram now.

Just as they were about to leave, Yang Quanzi brought Qu Yuanxian and Qu Lianghua to visit the printing workshop.

When he walked into the room and saw the book pages being printed like a fctory’, Qu Yuanxian asked in disbelief, “This is?”

Yang Quanzi smiled and said proudly, “This is the printing technique that Madam Bai gave us.”
