Village Head Wan glanced at Soong Xintong and her brothers, all of them looking like they were about to cry. Although they didn't look like they liked each other, he didn't like Grandma Zhang either, "Grandma Zhang, don't forget, you broke off your relationship with her and we had nothing to do with each other."

Grandma Zhang's expression changed. "Mountain is dead, and these kids can't take care of themselves. Can I watch them starve to death?"

Village Head Wan paused. This made sense.

Seeing this, Soong Xintong immediately spoke up, "Village Head, it has been more than a year since father has passed away. Although our family has had a difficult time, we can still make it through." After a slight pause, he looked at Grandma Zhang, "Furthermore, in this past year, Grandmother Soong Family has never come to visit us. A few days ago, our family ran out of food. We originally wanted to borrow food from Grandmother Soong Family, but …" As she spoke, she sobbed, "Thankfully, Grandma Qiu borrowed some rations, otherwise …" Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on. "

Village Head Wan's expression turned extremely ugly. He looked at Grandma Zhang and Zhang Cuihua in disgust, "Grandma Zhang, don't forget that you personally pressed the seal on the marriage contract. The elders of the village will still remember this, you don't have the right to call the shots on Xintong's behalf."

"Village Chief, how can we do that? Their family doesn't even have a single elder, how can we get married in the future?" Zhang Cuihua would always get to the crux of the matter, so when she said that, even Grandma Qiu was stunned for a moment. That's right, there were no elders in the family.

Soong Xintong knew what Zhang Cuihua was planning and took advantage of the moment when she wanted to speak, "Isn't Grandma Qiu my family's elder?" "Before Abba died, he entrusted me and his brothers to Grandma Qiu. In our hearts, Grandma Qiu, you are our dear grandma."

He then called out to his two younger brothers, "Great Treasure, Little Treasure. His name is grandma."

"grandma." The twins called out sweetly, hugging Grandma Qiu's hand tightly without letting go.

Grandma Qiu patted the two children's heads. "Good boy, good boy."

Now that Zhang Cuihua stopped thinking about it, Village Head Wan could tell that the Soong Family girl didn't want to get involved with Grandma Zhang in any way. This was also good.

"You two, hurry up and go back. Do you think I, the village head, am just for decoration? Did he think that the letter was written to play? If you dare to have any more ideas, do you believe that I will drive you out of the village? "

Grandma Zhang and Zhang Cuihua's expressions changed at the same time. "But in the end, they're still my sons …"

Village Head Wan interrupted them impatiently, "So what if he is your son? Even if you drive Song Dashan out to sign the marriage contract, they would still be in the right, so be a good man and not cause any harm to our Peach Blossom Village, and I will chase you all out of the village! "

"Yes, yes, yes." If Grandma Zhang could yield, she could yield. However, she also knew that she couldn't continue stirring things up and could only look for opportunities in the future. "Didn't I just want to help her? "Since you don't want to, then forget it. I'll treat you as my old woman for nothing."

He pushed everything onto Soong Xintong, then left after patting his butt.

Village Head Wan also did not stay any longer and followed along.

The courtyard finally regained its calm.

Grandma Qiu looked at Soong Xintong and warned her repeatedly, "Xintong, you have to remember this clearly. Don't ever agree to this. This is something that concerns you for the rest of your life."

Grandma Qiu's family treated Soong Xintong and her brother very well. She lowered her head and said, "I'll listen to Grandma Qiu."

"No matter how thick-skinned Grandma Zhang is, she wouldn't dare to come after what happened today. However, I'm worried that she and Zhang Cuihua might have some dirty thoughts. You have to be careful. Remember to close the door tightly tonight." Grandma Qiu warned.

Soong Xintong nodded. This ancient woman's reputation was very important, to be able to lose a lifetime just by touching her little hands. Although she didn't care about that, if Grandma Zhang and the others really had something up their sleeves, she couldn't say it clearly.

"But come to think of it, you are almost fifteen years old, and should have said 'kiss' a long time ago. Why don't you let me see for you and look for an honest youngster? By then, the two of them will be better off living a good life than anything else. " Grandma Qiu said earnestly.

Soong Xintong knew what Grandma Qiu meant. She was worried that her eyesight was too high, so she wouldn't have enough time to regret finding the wrong person.

Soong Xintong shook her head. "Grandma Qiu, I don't want to get married yet. Big Treasure and Little Treasure are still young. We should at least wait for them to be able to support themselves."

"We can get married first." Grandma Qiu said.

Soong Xintong looked at her twins and felt her heart soften. "I'm afraid no one else is willing."

Grandma Qiu looked at the two small ones and sighed. "There will be one sooner or later."

"Let's talk about it in the future. Grandma Qiu doesn't have to do all the work for me. If fate allows it, then there will be something that we should have." Soong Xintong lowered her head and whispered.

Looking at Soong Xintong's appearance, Grandma Qiu thought that she was shy and wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Zhou Sophora, who was also called Aunt Xie Family, "Mother, Xintong's illness is just right, let her take a good rest first. We'll talk about the future later."

"Hey, look at my memory." Grandma Qiu looked at the three siblings lovingly. "Is there anything to eat at home?" "I'll ask Aunt Xie-er to pick up some sweet potatoes for you later."

"No need, no need, Grandma still has a lot left for us a few days ago." Grandma Qiu's family was only slightly better off than hers, but they still had a few more people and life was not so good. The eggs they sent yesterday were saved by living frugally, so how could she ask for more?

Furthermore, her family still owed a lot of money to Grandma Qiu's family. It was already a part of the past for them not to chase after her for debts.

Grandma Qiu nodded and said no more. "Then we'll head back first. If there's anything, just let us know."

"Grandma Qiu, Aunt Xie, take care." Soong Xintong watched the two of them leave.

"Mom, don't worry. I saw Xintong get sick and she looks a lot more energetic." Aunt Xie whispered.

Grandma Qiu turned to look at Third Sister and Third Sister in the yard. "We should have done this earlier. If we were to continue acting like this, we wouldn't have been ripped apart by Grandma Zhang. If she wasn't tougher, we wouldn't have been able to protect her."

"Mother, I even dared to say a few words in response to that old woman today. Things will be even better in the future."

After the two of them had disappeared from view, Soong Xintong brought the twins back into the kitchen, and began to eat with the sweet potato soup that had just turned cold. "Eat quickly, after we finish eating, we'll go up the mountain together."

"What are you doing on the mountain?" Little Treasure raised his head and asked.

"To pick firewood, of course." Big Treasure looked at Little Treasure as if he were looking at a fool. "You don't even have firewood at home."
