183 I Want to Marry Miss Cui
When Qu Lianghua returned to his room, Cui Lingyi’s every frown and smile echoed in his mind.
And his daughter’s happy face.
He pondered for a long time before finally arriving at Qu Yuanxian’s room. He told Qu Yuanxian everything that had happened between Qu Xin’er and Cui Lingyi that day.
Qu Yuanxian’s eyes darkened. “What are you trying to say?”
Qu Lianghua looked embarrassed. “Father, I want to marry Miss Cui.”
Qu Yuanxian replied, “No!”
Qu Lianghua was stunned and immediately said anxiously, “Why? Xin’er likes her very much. She also likes Xin’er very much. Why can’t I?”
Qu Yuanxian looked at him coldly. “I said before not to mention this again. If you have any shame, you shouldn’t have mentioned this to me.”
Qu Lianghua said, “Father, I really want to marry Miss Cui!”
Qu Yuanxian was already determined. “Who do you think you are?! You can marry anyone you want!”
Qu Lianghua said, “How am I not worthy of Miss Cui!”
Seeing his indignant expression, Qu Yuanxian said bluntly, “Previously, I also thought that you were of the same age and were very suitable in all aspects, but you brought Xin’er here with the intention of testing her. You’re no longer worthy of her. Besides, Brother Shize has already made it clear to me that if Cui Lingyi marries someone else, she will only find a good person with a simple family and only loves her whole-heartedly!”
“Are you worthy?”
Not only did Qu Lianghua have two concubines, but he also had a pregnant concubine.
Qu Lianghua explained, “It’s common for men to have three wives or four concubines. As a daughter of the Cui family, she’s virtuous and definitely won’t mind.”
Qu Yuanxian shook his head. Seeing how stubborn he was, he knew that he was being serious. “The other party’s father minds and is unwilling to let you marry her. Also, does Cui Lingyi like you?”
Qu Lianghua said in a daze, “I’ll treat her very well.” Even if she didn’t like him now, she could slowly develop feelings for him in the future.
Qu Yuanxian shook his head. “There are many people who can treat her well. It’s not going to be you. You should give up!”
Qu Lianghua was indignant. “Father, you haven’t even tried. How do you know?!”
Qu Yuanxian’s eyes darkened. “I can’t afford to lose face like this! Don’t you know what your daughter is like now? And you want Cui Lingyi help you raise your daughter! Brother Shize will definitely not agree. When we go back, I’ll let your mother show you the other girls!”
Now that Qu Lianghua had already decided on Cui Lingyi, how could the other girls catch his eye?
He said solemnly to Qu Yuanxian, “Father, I won’t marry anyone but Miss Cui!”
Qu Yuanxian said bluntly, “Even if you want to marry her, she won’t care about you.”
Seeing that his father was unwilling, Qu Lianghua said, “I’ll definitely let Miss Cui see my sincerity and convince Prime Minister Cui.”
Qu Yuanxian lowered his eyes and warned, “If you dare to do anything embarrassing, I’ll definitely kill you myself!”
Qu Lianghua only wanted to please the beauty, so how could he offend her?
His son walked out of the door determinedly. Qu Yuanxian sighed. He hoped that his wish would come true.
If Cui Lingyi married into their family, she would definitely be able to raise the most outstanding descendants.
The next day, Qu Xin’er went to look for Cui Lingyi again, but she was not there. The entire garden was also locked, and she could not enter.
When Qu Xin’er returned to her room angrily, Qu Lianghua immediately walked over and asked her, “What’s wrong, Xin’er?”
If Xin’er did not go to Cui Lingyi’s place, Qu Lianghua would have no excuse to hang out with her.
Qu Xin’er said gloomily, “She’s not around!”
Qu Lianghua coaxed, “So be it. Daddy will bring you around, okay?”
The village was only so big. If he walked around, he might be able to find Cui Lingyi.
Qu Xin’er forced herself to say, “Alright then.”
Qu Lianghua carried Qu Xin’er to the lotus pond and the dam, but he still did not find Cui Lingyi. It was not appropriate for him to ask about her, so he could only wander aimlessly.
Suddenly, he saw Chu Tianbao holding Stinky up with a big white dog following behind him.
Thinking that Madam Bai and Cui Lingyi were good friends, he subconsciously followed Chu Tianbao.
Ordinary people could not keep up with Chu Tianbao’s speed at all. After a while, Qu Lianghua could no longer carry Qu Xin’er and asked her to come down. However, she did not dare to step on the field and said delicately, “Father, my embroidered shoes will get dirty.”
But she was also unwilling to let a maid carry her.
Helpless, Qu Lianghua could only carry her and rest after every two steps.
However, he had lost Chu Tianbao. He thought that he would return empty-handed, but Qu Lianghua saw Cui Shize walking towards him with a bamboo hat.
Qu Lianghua’s eyes lit up and he said to Qu Xin’er, “Come down and walk for a while. Daddy will give you a little rabbit, okay?”
Qu Xin’er thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Qu Lianghua immediately put her down and walked towards Cui Shize. He said enthusiastically, “Uncle Cui, let me help you choose.”
Cui Shize shook his head. “No, no. It won’t be far. You still have to take care of your daughter.”
Qu Lianghua hurriedly said, “It’s fine. The maidservant is also here. I’ll help Uncle Cui.”
With that, he pretended to take the pole from Cui Shize’s shoulder.
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Cui Shize smiled and said, “Thank you.”
The young man was quite honest. Brother Yuanxian had raised a good son.
Qu Lianghua took the pole and carried it on his shoulder. He was about to say that it was nothing when he was surprised by the weight on his shoulder.
There were not many potatoes in the basket, but they were not light at all.
In the beginning, Cui Shize could not even lift half of the potatoes in this basket. After nearly half a year of training, he could easily pick up this many potatoes.
The surprise on Qu Lianghua’s face was caught by him and greatly pleased Cui Shize. He asked despite knowing the answer, “Is it heavy? It’s difficult, right?”
...
Qu Lianghua shook his head and said calmly, “It’s not heavy.” However, his steps trembled slightly, and his face turned red.
When Qu Lianghua sent the potatoes to the Cui residence, beads of sweat had already appeared on his head. Cui Shize poured him a cup of tea and told him to be his own guest. Then, he wanted to pick up the basket and go pick more potatoes.
Qu Lianghua hurriedly said, “Let me help you, Uncle Cui. It’s such a hot day. Be careful not to catch a heat stroke.”
Cui Shize had a good impression of him. He shook his head. “How can I trouble you again?”
Qu Lianghua insisted, “It’s fine.” He hurriedly finished his tea and took the wicker basket from Qu Yuanxian’s hand.
Cui Shize’s impression of him improved. When Qu Lianghua followed Cui Shize to the potato field, he realized that there were many people in the potato field.
Cui Lingyi, Bai Wutong, Chu Tianbao, Sheng Huaixuan, Qingfeng, Lin Yue, and Cui Muzhi were all there.
There were also a few children playing with the mud at the side. Stinky pinched a poop-shaped piece of mud in his hand and ran to Bai Wutong to present it.
Their few acres were connected, so everyone gathered to work and chat.
When Qu Lianghua saw the handsome Sheng Huaixuan beside Cui Lingyi, his burning gaze suddenly turned cold.
