Qin Xiangyang’s hands were tightly clasped, resting on his knees, trembling occasionally.
"Break, we must break off," he said resolutely.
Qin Xiangnuan slightly curved her lips, the light in her eyes somewhat cold.
In the law, the relationship between parents and children is inseparable. According to the old ways of splitting families, they and Qin Guohua had set up their own household. However, she was still underage, so Qin Guohua had no right to arrange her marriage.
The law also clearly stipulates that parents have no right to force minors to marry or to make marriage arrangements for them: arranged marriages, trading in marriages, and other interferences are prohibited.
However, she forgot whether this was the marriage law of 81 years later or of a future time. Regardless, Qin Guohua couldn’t control her life anymore.
Actually, their situation wasn’t too difficult. She and her older brother, Qin Xiangyang, were already a separate household, and just needed to transfer their household registration to Granny Lu’s name.
This household registration matter was somewhat difficult; therefore, she needed to find someone to help. Their family had money now, but some things couldn’t be settled just with money.
She picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and still dialed a number.
"Hello, I am looking for Jian Zhiqing."
After a while, she put down the phone, the corners of her lips lifting slightly once again.
Nuannuan, the phone, Granny Lu was holding the phone and calling for Qin Xiangnuan who was still inside the house. The whole house was tense. Qin Xiangyang simply took leave as he didn’t want to attend school, adamant about staying home with his sister. He wished he could follow his sister every day, fearing someone would plot against her.
Don’t ask why he was so cautious; those kind of ruffians were capable of anything.
Qin Xiangnuan, however, spent everyday in the system, learning flower face embroidery. She’d already achieved some success, the system scored her quite high, and the double-sided embroidery she sold earned a substantial amount of Gold Coins—nearly fifty Gold Coins per piece.
These fifty Gold Coins could buy a lot of fabric, enough to make some beautiful clothes.
She was embroidering a Spring Mountain Night Rain Painting when she heard a noise outside, sounding like Granny Lu, or perhaps Hu Li had come, and she couldn’t sit still any longer.
"I disagree," Granny Lu said firmly, not even deigning to look Hu Li in the eye.
"You disagree?" Hu Li shrieked, "Since when is it up to you to decide? Qin Xiangnuan bears the Qin surname, this is something Guo Hua agreed to, we’ve received the bride price, so Qin Xiangnuan must marry."
Granny Lu suppressed the urge to hit someone with a broom, "The bride price has been received, didn’t you also have a daughter, let her marry then!"
"How could my daughter Xiang Mei possibly marry someone like Wang Dali? She needs to attend high school and university," Hu Li suddenly stood up as if a sore spot had been touched.
Granny Lu calmly and slowly hammered each word,
"My Nuannuan also needs to attend high school and university, how can she possibly marry someone like Wang Dali?"
"Why would a useless girl like her need to study so much, she might as well marry early," Hu Li sneered, "Not everyone is like my Xiang Mei, beautiful and smart, definitely a future university student. Anyway, I’ve taken the money, she must marry, marry or not, she must—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xiangyang pushed open the door and came in, a stick in his hand, as if he was about to hit someone.
