Lin Weiguo and Lin Ran, who received the news, also came over.

The three of them rushed home together.

On the way back, Shen Wenfang couldn't help but guess:

"Where did our relatives from the city come from? Could it be my younger sister? She's from the commune, so she can barely be considered a city dweller."

"Then why is she coming here at this time?"

Lin Weiguo took a puff of his cigarette, feeling a little puzzled.

You have to know that Fourth Aunt Shen would not come to their house easily, especially after she married into the commune.

In the past ten years, I have been to Tashan Brigade only a few times.

"Who knows? We'll find out when we get back. We still don't know if it's her."

As he spoke, Shen Wenfang's steps became faster and faster.

Lin Ran couldn't walk with big strides like her mother, so she could only follow behind with small steps, holding a handkerchief and trying to walk as fast as possible.

As soon as the three of them reached the door, they heard the shrill voice of Fourth Aunt Shen coming from the yard.

He is probably talking to Lin Lao San.

Today, Lin Laosan did not go to work due to injury and is recuperating at home.

Shen Wenfang didn't expect that the person who came was actually Fourth Aunt Shen, and she greeted her loudly before entering the yard.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

There was a look of joy on his face.

Although her relationship with Fourth Aunt Shen was average, they were sisters after all, and she was very happy that her younger sister was coming to her home.

When the three of them came in, they saw Fourth Aunt Shen sitting on a small bench in the yard, still wearing the red Dacron shirt that she showed off last time.

Lin Ran politely called out to someone, and Lin Weiguo also said something polite.

"What a rare guest!"

There were a lot of oil paper bags on the dining table next to them, obviously brought by Fourth Aunt Shen.

Shen Wenfang gave Fourth Aunt Shen a reproachful look.

"You said you were coming, so why did you bring so many things? You're not going to someone else's house, you're coming to your own sister's house, and you're being so polite."

As soon as these words came out, Fourth Aunt Shen’s face became visibly embarrassed.

She put her hands on her hair and then explained embarrassedly:

"Third sister, you misunderstood. These gifts will be used for a proper purpose later. These are for you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two oil-paper bags at Lin Laosan's feet.

The smile on Shen Wenfang's face froze, and the scene fell silent for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself and took the initiative to break the awkwardness.

"Haha, you see, I'm so happy to see you here. I was wondering, it's not a festival, why did you suddenly bring so many things? I'm a little nervous."

"By the way, why are you here? What's going on here? And why are you bringing a gift?"

Speaking of this, Fourth Aunt Shen suddenly became excited and giggled while covering her mouth.

"My second sister came to my house last night and wanted me to help her propose marriage to Accountant Zheng from your brigade."

"I didn't want to agree to this at first. I don't want to bother with such a thankless task."

Fourth Aunt Shen was still talking, her face flushed.

So the Lin family members who heard her words did not notice that they were looking at each other in confusion.

They all recalled the last time Aunt Shen came over and wanted Shen Wenfang to help propose marriage, but Shen Wenfang politely refused at that time.

Unexpectedly, she went to look for Fourth Aunt Shen again.

It’s just that they don’t quite understand Fourth Aunt Shen’s train of thought. Can she get so excited just by asking you for help?

Seeing that Shen Wenfang and the others didn't say anything, Aunt Shen Si continued to talk on her own.

"I was just about to turn it down, but my second sister insisted that my family was the most capable of all the relatives and should be the one in charge. That way, it would be easier for others to talk about marriage for the sake of my family's reputation."

"Since Second Sister has said this, what else can I do? I have no choice but to agree."

After saying that, she fixed her hair again, with an undisguised look of pride on her face.

Everyone finally understood. No wonder Fourth Aunt Shen was so cocky.

Isn't the implication that her family is the most promising and respectable among all the relatives?

That's why Second Aunt Shen skipped their house and went to the commune to find Fourth Aunt Shen to help propose marriage.

Shen Wenfang was speechless after hearing this. Is he so excited to be better than her?

This little sister is too competitive.

But even so, Shen Wenfang was not prepared to ruin Second Aunt Shen's plan.

After all, it concerns Yang Qingshan's lifelong affairs, although she really doesn't think highly of Accountant Zheng.

But Second Aunt Shen was determined, what could she do?

In fact, after I rejected Aunt Shen last time, I still felt a little guilty.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she couldn't help but reflect on whether she had done something wrong.

So at this time, she was happy to see Fourth Aunt Shen willing to come forward to help propose marriage.

As for Fourth Aunt Shen's arrogant face, what else can we do?

She has been watching it for so many years and she is used to it.

In order to encourage Fourth Aunt Shen to work harder when she proposed marriage later, Shen Wenfang praised her for the first time.

"That's true. If you go and propose marriage, given Accountant Zheng's personality, he will most likely agree to the marriage."

But this is also true. Accountant Zheng is so snobbish. If he knew that Yang Qingshan was the nephew of the deputy director of the commune revolutionary committee, he would definitely not let go of this relationship.

It was rare to see Shen Wenfang give in. Aunt Shen Si was flattered by the praise and her whole face was filled with joy.

But even so, she had not forgotten that Shen Wenfang had a gold bracelet. This was the only thing besides giving birth to a child that she was inferior to Shen Wenfang in, so she always cared about it.

Thinking of her own guess, Fourth Aunt Shen's eyes flashed, and she immediately pulled Shen Wenfang's arm and whispered to her.

"Third sister, didn't you tell me last time that your brother-in-law bought you a gold bracelet? It's rare for me to come over, so please give it to me so I can take a look."

"Didn't you see it last time? It's the same style as Ranran's, nothing special."

Shen Wenfang had hidden the gold bracelet a long time ago and didn't want to go through the trouble of digging it out again.

But Fourth Aunt Shen didn't know the secret and thought that Shen Wenfang was afraid that she would find out that the bracelet was fake, so she didn't dare to show it to her.

Now she wanted to see it even more. It would be best if she could directly expose the fake gold bracelet and see what Shen Wenfang could compare with her in the future.

"Oh, Third Sister, I came all this way here, and you can't even satisfy me with such a small request?"

His tone was urgent and his expression was impatient, as if he would get angry and leave if she didn't see him.

Shen Wenfang really had no idea what to do with his sister, but it was difficult to take out the gold bracelet in a short time.

She had specially dug a pit more than one meter deep to hide the gold bracelet. It would be so troublesome to dig it out now!

Although Lin Ran didn't know where Shen Wenfang hid the gold bracelet, she could see the embarrassment on Shen Wenfang's face and guessed in her heart that it was probably hidden somewhere quite secure.

Seeing that Fourth Aunt Shen was still being aggressive, she suggested:

"Mom, since your gold bracelet is put away and it's hard to take it out, why not show your aunt the gold watch you just bought yesterday? They're both pretty similar."

To be honest, Shen Wenfang was not very happy about it either.

Because this was the dowry she was going to give to Lin Rancun, and it would look awkward if she took it out now.
