They had finally managed to reach an agreement, but he backed out on it himself. Landlord Zhou was furious but helpless.

He's waiting to hold his grandson.

His son can't be relied upon for this land; he can only rely on his grandson.

This time, he hoped that his son's marriage would go smoothly.

Guo's gaze also fell on the chickens and ducks on the man's chest, and she couldn't help but chuckle. This man seemed alright to her, but her Minmin was a bit too good for him.

She had always been somewhat worried that her daughter might be looked down upon or mistreated after marrying into the Zhou family.

Zhou Bin's physical tension dissipated considerably due to Xia Minmin's acceptance and Guo's amiable attitude.

He nodded blankly and followed behind Xia Minmin, then stopped in front of the door.

"Min...Min."

"Hmm?" Xia Minmin turned around.

“This…” Zhou Bin lowered his gaze, looking at the chickens and ducks around his neck, “Where… should we put them?”

Xia Minmin also forgot about being nervous.

Although she was not young, this was her first time experiencing matters between men and women.

The girl was very inexperienced.

Guo followed behind the two and said with a smile, "Oh, of course, we put them in the chicken coop."

"Okay, sure." Zhou Bin placed the gift in Xia Minmin's hands, and then put the chicken and duck around his neck into the chicken coop.

Little did they know that the moment these two outsiders entered the shed, they attracted a group of chickens who attacked them.

"Cluck cluck cluck, quack quack quack..." The chicken coop was bustling with activity.

Zhou Bin blushed, "Minmin, this..."

"Never mind, he'll be fine once he's familiar with things." Xia Minmin chuckled, wondering if Zhou Bin was always like this, or if he had always been like this.

"Yes, it's cooked...that's good." Zhou Bin was reserved, and his words were hesitant and stuttering.

Guo guessed that perhaps Zhou Bin had a stutter, which was why the landlord Zhou cared so much about their daughter.

"Zhou Bin, have dinner at your aunt's house tonight." Guo smiled as she watched the two figures walk away, then pulled her youngest daughter to start preparing dinner, leaving the two of them alone.

"..." Zhou Bin looked up at Xia Minmin, and seeing that she did not refuse, he nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, don't be so polite with your auntie."

Guo smiled and shook her head. Her house was really lively today. In the morning, it was Xiaoyan and her brother, and in the afternoon, it was her future son-in-law.

"I'm going to buy groceries." Xia Minmin was busy in the kitchen all day and knew that there weren't many ingredients left at home.

Guo waved her hand, "No need, your father is working in the fields. Just have Xin'er call him back and let him go."

Upon hearing Guo's words, Xia Minxin was about to go out when Xia Minmin grabbed her arm.

"I'll go instead."

"Let's go together."

Xia Minmin and Zhou Bin spoke in unison. Seeing the tense yet harmonious scene between the two, Guo smiled and said, "That's fine too."

Bai Yang and Qiu Yan went to Wangyou Hall and the wonton shop one after the other.

In the late afternoon, the wonton shop was deserted.

Before Qiu Yan even arrived, she heard Tian Xiu standing in front of the counter, reprimanding her with dissatisfaction.

“You’re all lazy and don’t work. The employer sent you here to work, but you’re just shirking your duties all day long. Don’t think I don’t know.”

Seeing Tian Xiu puffing out her cheeks and looking sullen, Qiu Yanjing stood at the door, listening intently.

The workers, one by one, lowered their heads slightly, seemingly pleased, but the slight upturn of their lips betrayed their true feelings.

“Miss Tian Xiu, we’ve been working hard all along.” Le Jian said, raising his eyebrows in a defiant manner.

“Miss Tian Xiu, the master is not here, so you can’t treat us so harshly. You’re not the master, so why do you have the right to make decisions?”
