Qi Ning glanced at the letter annulmenting the engagement and was satisfied.

She looked up at her family and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, brother and sister-in-law, let's go home."

Since the engagement has been called off, there's no need for them to stay in the Gu family anymore; it's considered bad luck.

"Okay, let's go."

As the family walked out, Qi Yang kicked a bucket or basin nearby. Wang Qiaofang saw a pheasant in the corner, grabbed it, and left, spitting at the Gu family before she did.

Qi Ning wanted to laugh but couldn't, and had to pretend to be a little sad. She was comforted by the Qi family one after another, and it was really hard to hold back her laughter.

Although the engagement has been called off, this matter is not so easily resolved.

The next day, Qi Yang led his men to Xinghua Village again and vandalized both the Gu and He families.

Wang Qiaofang then went around telling everyone in the village what happened that day, cursing Gu Lixuan and He Sisi to everyone she met. The story spread to several neighboring villages, and their reputations were ruined.

After that, Qi Yang would bring people over to cause trouble every now and then, and no one spoke up for the Gu family, leaving the Gu family feeling miserable.

That day, Qi Yang was about to go out again, and Qi Ning, seeing that it was almost time, called out to him to stop.

"Brother, are you going to cause trouble at the Gu family again?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"That's good enough."

Qi Yang raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? You're still speaking up for that bastard Gu Lixuan?"

Qi Ning couldn't help but smile slightly.

She stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yang: "I'm not speaking up for Gu Lixuan, I just don't want you to get into trouble. The Gu family will definitely complain to the village chief."

Moreover, Qi Ning didn't want to push Gu Lixuan and He Sisi too far, and didn't want them to enter the city so early.

"I'm not afraid at all!"

Li Suying came out of the kitchen and glared at Qi Yang: "You're so useless. This matter is enough. Fortunately, we found out about this before my younger sister and Gu Lixuan got married. Now that the marriage is called off, our family hasn't suffered too much loss. The Gu family's reputation is ruined, so we shouldn't get involved."

Qi Yang scoffed, no longer arguing with Qi Ning and Li Suying, but in his heart he was still thinking that he would beat up Gu Lixuan every time he saw him in the future.

Qi Datian sat to the side and took a puff of his pipe. He exhaled the smoke and said, "A-Ning and Su-Ying are right. We shouldn't get involved with the Gu family anymore. A-Ning is going to marry someone else."

Wang Qiaofang actually supported Qi Yang's idea of ​​causing trouble for the Gu family, but Qi Datian's words also made sense.

“There are plenty of men who want to marry our daughter, Aning. I’ll pick out a few good families for you to choose from later.”

Qi Ning knew they would think that way, but she couldn't go on blind dates and get married to someone else. Her next plan was to go to the city to find Lu Yiheng.

Since everyone in her family was here today, she brought it up as well.

Qi Ning sat down in front of them: "Mom and Dad, I don't want to get married yet. I want to go to the city to work."

"what?!"

The moment Qi Ning uttered those words, everyone in the Qi family was astonished.

"What did you say? You're a young woman, why are you going out to work instead of getting married?" Wang Qiaofang asked.

Li Suying also found Qi Ning's words strange.

She guessed, "Little sister, you wouldn't still be thinking about Gu Lixuan, and you're heartbroken by him, which is why you don't want to get married, would you?"

Although Qi Datian and Qi Yang didn't say anything, they were also guessing the same thing.

Qi Ning was both amused and exasperated: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? I've seen through Gu Lixuan, why would I still be thinking about him?"

"Then why did you say you didn't want to get married? Mom will arrange a few better ones for you tomorrow than Gu Lixuan."

There were already quite a few people who liked Qi Ning, and many wanted to marry her. Ever since the news of Qi Ning and Gu Lixuan breaking off their engagement spread, several groups of people have come to Wang Qiaofang to inquire about the situation.

Wang Qiaofang counted on her fingers, "Chengfu's son, whose family owns a pig farm, and Dongming's son, Zhaoxian's son, and even the village chief's second son are all interested in you. They've asked me about you. My daughter is so good, why would she worry about not finding a good family to marry into?"

"Oh dear, Mom."

Qi Ning sat down next to Wang Qiaofang, took her arm, and deliberately put on a wronged expression.

"Am I really obligated to get married? Are you all so eager to marry me off that you can't stand me anymore?"

Wang Qiaofang frowned: "What are you talking about, girl? When have we ever stopped tolerating you?"

"That settles it then. If that's the case, why are you all pressuring me to get married?"

Qi Yang held Qi Chen on his lap and said with a serious face, "It doesn't matter whether you get married or not. No one in the family will kick you out. Even if you never get married, we can support you for the rest of your life. It's not like we don't have enough to eat. Why do you need to go out and work?"

"What's wrong with working? Is working something shameful?"

Qi Ning gave a soft snort: "It's not like there aren't girls from our village who go to work in the city. If others can go, why can't I?"

"Hey, little sister." Li Suying patted her hand. "It's not that working is bad, it's just that we're worried about you being a young lady."

"But I want to go. Maybe if I go, I'll want to get married when I come back."

The whole family felt that Qi Ning was still heartbroken by Gu Lixuan, which was why she had this thought.

"no!"

Qi Datian tapped his pipe against his hand: "If you don't want to get married now, then wait a bit longer. There's no room for negotiation when it comes to working. You can't go anywhere."

"That's right, if anything happens to you, Mom won't live anymore."

Li Suying beckoned Qi Chen over: "Chenchen, come quickly and persuade your aunt not to go to the city to work. It's too dangerous in the city."

Qi Chen slid off his father's lap and ran into Qi Ning's arms.

He looked up at his little face and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, don't go to the city to work. Stay home and stay with Chenchen. Chenchen will miss you."

Qi Ning smiled and pinched Chenchen's little cheek, then said nothing more.

It seems that getting the Qi family to agree to let her work won't be so easy. Judging from their attitude, there's no point in saying anything more now.

The next morning, before dawn, Qi Ning left a letter and secretly slipped away with his clothes and his savings.

She was going to take the bus into the city.

Whether it was a mother's heart or not, Wang Qiaofang tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well.

So much so that when Qi Ning left, although the door opening was very quiet, Wang Qiaofang still vaguely heard it and quickly got up to check.

When she went to Qi Ning's room, she found that he was indeed gone.

Wang Qiaofang collapsed to the ground, slapping her legs and shouting, "Oh no! Aning is missing!"

In an instant, all the members of the Qi family woke up.

When they arrived, they found only an empty house and the letter left by Qi Ning.

Wang Qiaofang cried and sobbed, "Ayang, go find your sister quickly! If anything happens to her, I won't live anymore..."

At that time, Qi Ning had already boarded the earliest long-distance bus into the city.

She thought to herself that everything was fine and sat down to wait for the bus to depart.

Just as the shuttle bus was about to start, the system suddenly reminded: "Host, Qi Yang is catching up."
