But the good thing is that as friends, it’s natural for there to be give and take.

"Ah, are you here?"

Shen Li heard Qin Yueying calling outside, and replied: "Aunt, it's me." Then he looked at Qin Yu: "I'll go out first."

"Ali, I heard that your elder brother passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. I don't know what to give him. Please come in and help me take a look." Qin Yueying pulled her into the house.

At this time, Shen Yanyan entered the yard: "Brother Qin, are you there?"

Qin Yu heard the sound and came out of the house.

"What's wrong with you? Have you been crying?"

Shen Yanyan wiped her eyes twice with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "No."

"Your eyes are so red, and yet nothing happened. What happened?"

"I...Brother Qin, cousin Rong is engaged." Shen Yanyan said in a low voice.

"Isn't this normal? Why be sad?"

"But the other party is a widower in his thirties whose wife had died many years ago. It was only because he gave a large betrothal gift that grandma agreed to it." Shen Yanyan was already crying as she spoke.

Qin Yu thought this was nothing new: "It's a matter of mutual consent, so you don't have to feel sad."

"No, cousin Rong didn't agree at all. It was grandma who made the decision. She has been locked in her room now."

"But this is your family affair, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Shen Yanyan took a step forward and held Qin Yu's hand. Tears finally fell: "Brother Qin, cousin Rong and I grew up together. I can't watch her marry someone like that. Can you help me think of a solution?"

Shen Li had a conversation with Qin Yueying in the house, and strongly rejected the gift she wanted to give to her eldest brother. When he heard Shen Yanyan coming, he wanted to chat for a while and come out after she left, but he still heard what they said in the yard, and Qin Yueying suddenly pushed her out of the house.

Shen Li looked at her unexpectedly: "Aunt..."

Qin Yueying gave her a look and closed the door. She would not interfere in their affairs as young people. But if Shen Li wanted to hide, that wouldn't work. She couldn't let her lose without a fight.

Shen Li was helpless and turned around to look at Qin Yu and Shen Yanyan.

Shen Yanyan was not surprised by Shen Li's appearance, as she had seen her coming.

Qin Yu broke away from her hand: "You know I don't like to interact with others, don't always do this in the future."

"I didn't mean it. I was just in a hurry. Brother Qin, you don't like others touching you, but you can't touch me either. Look at this." Shen Yanyan showed the jade bracelet on her wrist: "You gave me this bracelet a long time ago. I thought I was different from others."

Shen Li saw the jade bracelet on her wrist, which looked very expensive. Was Qin Yu so rich at that time? But he was really good to her. Even if he had to stay in the village in disguise, he couldn't bear to give her something bad. Fortunately, Shen Yanyan didn't know the value of the jade bracelet, otherwise it would be strange if she didn't suspect it.

It seems like he has liked her for a long time, but judging from Qin Yu's behavior every time, he doesn't seem to like Shen Yanyan. I don't understand it, but that is the business of the male and female protagonists, and has nothing to do with her, a cannon fodder.

In the original book, this bracelet was a token of love, right? It seemed to be passed down from ancestors. Although Qin Yu later gave her many things, this was the only thing they treasured the most.

"Okay, stop crying. After all, this is your Shen family's affair. I can't do anything about it." Qin Yu was unmoved.

"I know it's inconvenient for you, Brother Qin, to intervene. I just can't bear to see my cousin marry a man like that. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position." After saying that, she wiped her tears twice with a handkerchief, turned around and saw Shen Li, as if she had just seen her: "Cousin, you are here too, don't get me wrong, Brother Qin gave me this bracelet a long time ago, and you didn't like him at that time."

Seeing her pretentious look, Shen Li knew that the bracelet was deliberately shown to her: "Cousin, this bracelet is very beautiful and suits you very well. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." She was too lazy to watch their affection.

"Cousin, you should have heard that cousin Rong has been promised to someone else, but this marriage is not a good one. Can you help persuade grandma?"

Shen Li was speechless. This act was too outrageous. "My family has nothing to do with you anymore. What can I advise you about? Besides, do you think grandma will listen to me?"

Shen Yanyan's eyes were filled with tears again: "Cousin, are you really so cruel? Cousin Rong is also your cousin, you..."

"Okay, Shen Yanyan, aren't you tired like this? Even if you're not tired, I'm tired. I can't control your family's affairs."

"How could you do this?"

Shen Li looked at her as if she had made a huge mistake. She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm leaving first."

Qin Yu called her again: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Then he said to Shen Yanyan: "You go back first."

Shen Yanyan clenched her fists, but said in a considerate manner, "I see. Then you can talk slowly." After leaving the yard, she looked back at the two of them and said with hatred on her face, "Shen Li, I will not let you snatch Qin Yu away."

Ever since Shen Rong and she had a bad relationship, she instigated her grandmother to marry her to someone who offered a large betrothal gift. It didn't matter what kind of person the other person was, what mattered was how much money he gave. Whoever betrayed and let her down would have no chance of living a good life.

Shen Li was a little annoyed at this moment. Why did they keep asking her to do something? "What do you want to tell me?"

"What's with that expression on your face? Are you angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"It's... about the jade bracelet." Qin Yu was a little unsure.

"No, that's between you and her. It has nothing to do with me. Why should I be angry?"

"then you……"

"I just get annoyed seeing her like that. You men fall for that. I don't like it. You always look so tearful. If you have something to say, just say it. What problem can crying solve?"

Qin Yu didn't know whether she should be angry or what at this moment. Was she really not jealous at all and had she really let him go completely?

"Have you really severed ties with the Shen family?"

"Yes, we have signed a written agreement, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? My family is kind, and they will not just watch the Shen family get into trouble, so they can't be sure. But it's better to leave it this way for now. You also know my grandmother's character. If she doesn't stop, she will have a hard time in the future."

"Yes, although they are relatives, it also depends on character and how they get along with each other. Not all relatives can live in harmony. For the sake of interests, sometimes relatives can become enemies."

Shen Li looked at Qin Yu who was in a certain mood and knew who he was talking about: "People are different. Some people keep their promises, some people repay a drop of kindness with a spring, and some people are ungrateful and will do anything for the sake of immediate benefits. All we can do is to restrain ourselves and not become that kind of person."
