Chapter 682

Village Chief Qin Baolu saw that there were more and more things.

He hurriedly arranged for two more militia members to stand guard.

If something happened to so many things,

he couldn't bear the responsibility.

Although the warehouse was borrowed by Cao Weiguo,

the things inside belonged to the public.

If something really went wrong, he would also be implicated.

For a moment, he felt that the benefits given by Cao Weiguo were a bit too hot to handle.

"Jingru!"

"What's your relationship with Director Cao?"

"Are you dating Director Cao?"

"Don't be shy!"

"Tell us quickly!"

Just as Qin Jingru had closed the door, several childhood friends ran over.

They surrounded Qin Jingru excitedly, their eyes full of gossip.

Qin Jingru blushed and said: "No! Don't guess blindly, Director Cao and I are just ordinary friends."

None of the girls believed this.

They surrounded Qin Jingru, teasing her with envy:

"No way! I don't think you and Director Cao look like ordinary friends at all!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"You're so pretty! And Director Cao is so young!"

"You two look like a couple no matter how you look at it."

"When are you going to marry into the city like your sister?"

"Oh my!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm going home to eat!"

Qin Jingru's face turned bright red from their teasing, and she fled in shyness.

As soon as she got home, Qin's mother called Qin Jingru into the inner room:

"Give the job of watching the warehouse to your second brother."

"It's not appropriate for a girl like you to be out and about all day."

Qin Jingru said unhappily: "Mom! What era is this, why are you still saying things like that!"

Qin's mother said earnestly: "I'm doing this for your own good, you're not married yet, you have to be careful about your reputation."

"It's only been one day, do you know how much gossip has spread in the village."

"If this continues, what matchmaker will be willing to come to our door, and what family will be willing to marry you."

Qin Jingru pouted and said: "Let them gossip if they want, I'm not planning to stay in the village anyway."

She had long made up her mind to marry into the city at all costs.

Can Qin Village be better than the city?

She didn't want to be like her parents, facing the yellow earth and backing the sky.

Suffering, exhausted, and still hungry and poor.

Even if it's sweeping the streets or cleaning toilets in the city, it's ten times or a hundred times better than farming in the village.

Qin's mother knew her daughter was set on marrying into the city.

But it's not like you can just marry whenever you want!

You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

You have to leave yourself a way out.

Can you just throw away your reputation because you're not staying in the village?

Qin's mother said sternly: "You can't have your own way, you must listen to Mom on this!"

Qin Jingru said sullenly: "This job was arranged for me by Brother Weiguo, I don't have the right to just give it away."

Qin's mother said with a dark face: "Cao Weiguo isn't in the village now, how would he know who's doing the job?"

"Just let your second brother watch the warehouse, and you stay home and do housework."

"When Cao Weiguo comes to the village, you can explain it to him."

"Your second brother is careful, he won't mess up his business."

"If you don't listen, don't blame me for locking you in the woodshed."

Qin Jingru felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes, she stomped her feet and shouted angrily:

"Old feudalist! Old antique! You only know how to bully me!"

Qin's father stood at the door and sighed: "Daughter! Your mom and I are doing this for your own good!"

"You're still young and can't go down the wrong path, your mom and I won't harm you."

Facing the pressure from her parents, Qin Jingru had no choice but to comply.

She handed a bunch of keys to her second brother, wiped her tears, and ran back to her room to cry under the quilt.

Qin's father and mother stood outside the house, feeling bad themselves.

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere!

Even if they feel sorry for their daughter,

they can't let her do as she pleases!

They are truly worried that their daughter will do something foolish!

Cao Weiguo has good conditions, but he is already married.

They cannot let their daughter get too close to a married man.

If she makes a mistake, it will affect her for the rest of her life.
