In fact, compared with Jiang Yao, she grew up in the Qian family and understood Grandma Qian's temper much better than Jiang Yao.

It was also because of this that when Qian heard Jiang Yao's words, she immediately determined that what Jiang Yao said was most likely correct.

But Mrs. Qian's voice when she spoke to her was so gentle. Perhaps, she was so moved that she lost her mind, so she didn't notice that there was something wrong with Mrs. Qian's expression.

When she thought about marrying a disabled man who might even be abused to death, Qian quickened her pace and clenched her fists in her sleeves unconsciously.

Why?

Why did her mother ignore her feelings again and again and treat her as a commodity to be sold?

If you are lucky, you might meet someone like Lu Changshan. If you are unlucky, you might marry into a family like the Xu family.

Moreover, the Xu family is also wealthy. If the Xu family is against her, she will have no way to sue them, let alone ask her family to support her.

Her mind gradually dissipated, and she hurriedly greeted the ox cart driver. Qian then quickly got into the carriage, her lips tightly pursed, without saying a word.

When she arrived at Qian's house, she didn't even bother to thank the driver. She kicked the door open and saw everyone with happy faces.

But her mood was extremely heavy.

Qian took a deep breath and walked straight towards the old woman with a smile on her face.

"Mother, tell me honestly, the Mr. Xu you want me to marry is a disabled person, right? His first wife was abused to death by his family? Don't you think so?"

At first, Qian was able to remain calm under the gaze of her family, but as she spoke later, her mood became worse and worse, and in the end, she almost roared as she said this sentence.

Usually, Mrs. Qian was always submissive to her, but when she suddenly yelled at her, her face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

She raised her cane and started beating Qian's legs with a loud thumping sound.

"How do you know? He will come back! I am your mother after all, where do you get the courage? Do you still want to do something to me?"

Maybe because she was in a bad mood, Qian didn't take the pain in her foot to heart. Instead, she hugged Old Lady Qian's arm and repeated what she had just said.

"Mom, can you tell me, is what I heard true?"

Old Madam Qian was afraid that Mrs. Qian had really gone mad, and Mrs. Qian glared at her unhappily, her tone somewhat stiff.

"What else? Don't you look at yourself? You've been running around for the Lu family for so many years, and you're not as good as before. I've risked everything to help you find a good man!"

"I didn't expect that not only would you not appreciate it, but you would dare to come to me!"

After getting confirmation from Old Lady Qian, Qian suddenly felt a darkness above her head and her vision began to blur.

She subconsciously shook Granny Zeni's arm and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, if I marry them, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? How about I find someone else?"

Over the years, Lu Chaoshan has been doting on Qian, and her temper is no longer as gentle as before.

It was because Old Lady Qian saw through this that she deliberately concealed the detailed information of the Xu family. However, she did not expect that Qian had already known about it and even proposed to cancel the engagement with her.

This is simply unreasonable!

Granny Qian glared at Qian and started beating her with her cane, cursing at her as she beat her.

"Your wife makes me lose face, but you told me that you don't want to get married! Do you think you are kidding me? Qian, you are an uneducated loser. You finally found a good family, but you are still picky. Do you think she will be nice to you?"

"If I hadn't praised you so highly, you would have become the laughing stock of everyone."

Listening to it over and over again, Qian was beaten to the ground, and the scenes in her mind overlapped with the scenes in her head. She couldn't hold it in anymore and begged.

"Mom, stop it, it hurts, it hurts!"

After all, Mrs. Qian was an old lady. She was so tired after standing for a long time with a cane that she stopped.

"Since it hurts, then just listen to me! I'm telling you, I've already told the villagers about your remarriage. If you suddenly don't get married, our Qian family will lose face."

When Old Madam Qian saw that Qian was really in pain, she secretly glanced at the people in the room, squatted down, threw away her crutches, pulled Qian up, and her voice suddenly became gentle.

"Besides, no matter what, you are a member of our Qian family. You can't just think about yourself. Don't you think about your two brothers? They have to get married and go to school."

"If you don't marry into the Xu family, how will they survive in the future? Don't worry, I will ask your brother to come and see you more often, so that the people of the Xu family will know that they will not bother you again!"

As soon as Granny Qian finished her words, the Qian family members immediately surrounded her. Some people advised her to calm down and stop, while others, with tears in their eyes, persuaded Qian to put the family first.

Everyone was talking at once, but no one stood up to defend Qian and asked her not to marry into the Xu family.

Qian was annoyed by their nagging and had no choice but to nod.

When Mrs. Qian heard that Qian agreed, her wrinkled face regained its smile. She put one hand on Qian's shoulder, and there was a rare hint of doting in her voice.

"What a good daughter you are. You have been thinking about our family since you were young. You are so sensible."

"Okay, you've worked hard today, so you don't have to do the laundry. Let your brothers take care of the rest. Go back and rest first. I'll ask your brother to bring you to your room!"

A slap in the face and a blow with a club were Granny Qian's usual tricks against Mrs. Qian, and they always worked.

Helpless, Qian was beaten, and with Jiang Yao's provocation, Qian gave a bitter smile and returned to the house holding the injured area.

Qian stood in a room within reach, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, as she finally understood what had happened.

In this life, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape from the clutches of Granny Qian.

Qian was frowning every day, worrying about how to get through the day, while Jiang Yao was beaming with joy and always spoke in a cheerful manner.
