Chapter 681: The Final Decision

Han Shifu came here to have a look, so he naturally had to stay for a day or two to see what kind of character Qin Laoliu had. He clasped his fists and thanked him, "The Han family is sorry to bother you. Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"Patriarch Han has shown us his kindness, which is something the Qin family would love to have." Grandpa Qin smiled and called out to Qin Laoliu, "Laoliu, help settle Patriarch Han and the others."

"Hey." Qin Laoliu came over hurriedly and called to Chief Han: "Chief Han, come this way, I will take you to the Xue family's new warehouse for resettlement."

Patriarch Han followed Qin Laoliu, Grandpa Qin, Village Chief Zhou and others to the Xue family's new warehouse and asked Manager Xue to help arrange five large rooms.

The Xue family built dozens of large houses in this area, and soon five rooms were vacated. The stove and bed were warm, and new quilts were brought in.

The Han clan leader was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "No, no, we are all rough men in the Han family. We are just staying for one night, so how can we dare to cover ourselves with this new quilt? Take some old quilts, or we don't need a quilt. There is a stove bed, and we can just cover ourselves with our coats and robes and sleep for one night."

Manager Xue said with a smile: "The Han family is the guest of the Qin family, and the Qin family is our Xue family's benefactor. It is only natural that we give you dozens of new quilts to cover you."

He added: "The Xue family has many servants, and every month a fleet of cars comes to pick up goods. These quilts can be left for them to continue using, so they won't be wasted."

These words were pleasant to the ear, and Patriarch Han felt comforted. The children of the Han family felt even more proud... There were dozens of new quilts, and they were just taken out and given to them to cover themselves with!
Han Shifu agreed: "Thank you, Manager Xue."

"You're welcome." Steward Xue smiled and called three servants over: "Patriarch Han, if you need anything, just tell them."

For example, if you need firewood, hot water, or where the toilet is, you can go to these three servants.

"Hey, thank you very much. It's been a great honor for the three little brothers." Chief Han expressed his gratitude.

"Two-grain pancakes, grain porridge, and pickled vegetables are here!" Qin Liupo's high-pitched voice came. She and Qin Ying drove two baskets of pancakes, two large pots of grain porridge, and two cans of pickled vegetables, and called out: "Chief Han, quickly let the boys of the Han family come over to eat something to fill their stomachs, and then have a big meal at 3 p.m.!"

"So many food? It's too expensive." Not to mention the Han family members, even Han Shifu was stunned.

Just this cartload of food would cost at least half a tael of silver, which is a farmer's monthly income. Are we just going to give them food for free?

Isn’t it said that Qin Laoliu and his wife are the most stingy?
Why bring a truckload of food for them to eat for free?

Of course, it was because Qin Jie said that all expenses for entertaining the Han family would be deducted from his dividends.

Qin Jie also gave Qin Liupo and his wife two taels of silver, asking them to entertain Patriarch Han normally, and asked Qin Ying and Qin Mei to help supervise them.

If my parents dare to do anything weird, I won’t give them the two taels of silver.

Han Shifu said again: "Grandma Qin, please take the food back. It will be dinner time in an hour or so. We can just wait it out. There is no need to waste another cart of food."

Granny Qin Liu scolded, "You are members of Master Han's clan. My son Ajie works for the government office and is well taken care of by Master Han. His clan leader and his clan members are here, so how can my family work for him?"

Grandpa Qin said, "Chief Han, you guys have worked hard delivering goods, and it's so cold, eating something will warm you up."

Qin Laoliu: "My fifth brother is right."

Chief Han glanced at him and saluted Grandpa Qin: "Thank you very much, we won't be polite."

"Han family boys, go get some food. One pancake per person, fill your stomach first!"

"Yes, clan leader; thank you Qin family!" Forty Han family members thanked in unison, went to move the food, and then lined up in an orderly manner. The two sons of clan leader Han were responsible for distributing the food.

"The Han family is well-trained and comparable to soldiers. They are very disciplined." Grandpa Qin praised. This is why the court often lets the patriarchs of large families serve as village heads to help the government govern the local area.

"They are just a bunch of country boys, how can they compare with the soldiers." Han Shifu smiled, feeling quite proud, and started chatting with Grandpa Qin, Qin Laoliu, and Village Chief Zhou.

During this time, Grandpa Qin also asked Qin Ying to invite Chief Lu to come, and the families chatted happily. After the Han family finished eating, Qin Ying drove to Qin Liupo's house and slaughtered the live sheep at home.

With forty people, one sheep might not be enough to feed them.

Shenshi is the time when the female workers in the workshop get off work... In winter, it gets dark early, so for safety reasons, the workshop now starts work at Sishi and finishes work at Shenshi.

Most winter dinners are also held at this time.

"Dad, Uncle Wu, Chief Han, Uncle Lu, Steward Xue, the mutton soup is ready. It's time to sit down." Qin Ying came over to invite them and said, "The table will be at the Lu Family Inn. It's big and the lobby can seat a hundred people."

As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Lu felt proud... What a good son-in-law, he also knows how to support the Lu family, good, he knows how to do things!

Patriarch Han was also very satisfied with Qin Ying... Qin Ying had been busy running around for the past half day. What his younger brother said was right, with such a brother looking after the family, Qin Jie could have no worries.

Sometimes, having a good brother is more important than having good parents.

Grandpa Qin said, "Patriarch Han, Brother Lu, Brother Zhou, and Manager Xue, let's go eat."

"Hey." After half a day of contact, Patriarch Han was no longer polite. He stood up, greeted the Han family members, and followed Grandpa Qin to the Lu family inn to eat mutton soup hot pot.

When it’s cold, it’s best to eat shabu-shabu.

Patriarch Han and his entourage were very satisfied with the meal. They chatted while eating and it took a full hour before they dispersed.

The Han family member left without finishing his meal. Instead, he helped to clear the table and wash the dishes, which earned him a lot of praise from Patriarch Lu.

He thought to himself: If Qin Jie's marriage can be successful, his Lu family will get another capable relative!
Thinking of this, he became more and more satisfied when he looked at his future son-in-law Qin Ying.

He also praised himself for having good vision to get such a good son-in-law!

It was too late, so Village Chief Zhou did not return to the village and stayed overnight with Tribe Chief Han.

Grandpa Qin and his companions settled the Han family and sent Patriarch Lu back home before returning home.

Grandma Qin was still waiting for Grandpa Qin. When she saw him coming home, she asked, "How is it? Is the Han family satisfied with the Old Six family?"

Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Xiaozhu, two gossipers, heard the noise and got up at the same time. They opened the window and looked at the door of Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin's house and asked, "Grandpa/Grandpa Qin, what's going on?!"

Grandpa Qin had a headache and shouted at them, "Go to bed quickly. If you keep gossiping, I will forbid you from eating meat for five days."

Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Xiaozhu both love meat, and not eating meat for five days is like torture for them.

The two of them closed the windows and went to sleep.

Seeing this, Grandpa Qin came into the house, closed the door, and said to Grandma Qin with a smile, "It seems to be settled."

He also praised Qin Jie: "This kid doesn't like to talk, but he is very capable. He made great arrangements and managed the old six couple."

"That's good." Grandma Qin smiled and sighed, "After Ajie's marriage is settled, only Mei Jie'er is left. If we can find a good in-law for Mei Jie'er, we will be worthy of our grandfather."

"Well, now that Ajie's plan is settled, we can relax a lot." Grandpa Qin smiled, but felt guilty towards his wife: "I've made you suffer in this life."

When they got married, Grandpa Qin also vowed to let Grandma Qin live the life of an official's wife. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her, and in the end, Grandma Qin had to suffer with him for the rest of her life.
