Chapter 0037: The Second Brother Broke Off the Engagement (Sincerely Invite Book Friends from All Walks of Life to Create a New World

"Hey, is Qiqi out of school?"

Seeing the brother and sister come back, Fifth Aunt Liu Guoqin forced a smile on her face, "Little sister, you've grown up so much? Where did you go to play?"

"I didn't go out to play, I went to school."

Sensing his mother's bad mood, Yi Rongkun walked around Liu Guoqin and came to her side, cautiously calling, "Mom?"

"Be good and do your homework."

Liu Guoxiang did not show her emotions in front of her children.

"Listen to your mother and go back to your room."

Yi Zhongxiang, the father who was talking to Lai Ye, also spoke up, "Your second sister is in the room."

"oh."

Yi Rongkun and Yi Rongqi agreed, smiled at the guests, and turned to walk towards their parents' room.

Perhaps hearing the noise coming from outside, Yi Rongying, who came back earlier, opened the door for them in advance.

Yi Shichun and Yi Shitian, brother and sister, were also in the room.

After closing the door, Yi Rongqi couldn't wait to ask, "Second sister, what happened?"

Yi Rongying said in a low voice with a cold face: "Sister Fen wants to break off the engagement with Second Brother."

"ah?"

Yi Rongqi didn't expect this to happen, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Rongying glared at him and whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't let mom and dad hear."

Yi Rongkun didn't understand what breaking off an engagement meant. He looked at his second sister, then at his third brother, pursed his lips, and asked, "Why?"

"You are still young, don't ask about these things."

Yi Rongying pinched her little sister's face and whispered, "Go play with Shi Chuntian over there."

Faced with his second sister still treating him like a child, Yi Rongkun was not convinced: "Second sister, don't look down on me. I am not a five-year-old child anymore."

"Yes, yes, you are six years old, okay."

After her younger sister made such a fuss, Yi Rongying's suppressed emotions caused by her second brother's fiancée wanting to break off the engagement were much better.

After a long sigh, Yi Rongyingcai continued, "I don't know the specific situation either."

“I was in this state when I got home from school.”

"I heard about their plan to cancel the engagement from Sister Mou."

Yi Rongqi: "But they usually bring food back from our house. Why do you want to cancel the engagement now?"

Yi Rongying: "I've already said it, I don't know either. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Does Second Brother know?"

Yi Rongqi asked worriedly, "Where is he now?"

"I haven't seen him since I came back. I heard from Sister Mou that he hid away and my brother is following him. Don't worry."

Yi Rongkun listened to the conversation between his second sister and third brother, and some vague fragments of memory appeared in his mind.

But I can't piece together the complete fragments.

But she vaguely knew that her second sister-in-law was not this cousin Fen.

The siblings hadn't come to a conclusion when Mou Decong's voice came from outside: "Rongying, Qiwen, bring the younger ones out for dinner."

"By the way, Qiwen, go out and look for your eldest and second brothers. Where have they gone? They're not even actively eating. Really?"

"knew."

In the room, Yi Rongying and Yi Rongqi agreed, quickly got up, and went out with their younger sister and nieces.

I saw that my father had already invited Liu Guoqin and her family of three to the table, and my mother and sister-in-law were serving dishes to the table.

Mou Decong said with a smile, "Fifth Miss, Mr. Lai, I'm sorry, you came in a hurry. I didn't have anything to eat at home, so I just picked up some salted vegetables and cooked a bowl of noodles."

Laoyancai is made by frying dried vegetables with lard. In the era of food shortage and water shortage, this was an excellent dish.

"It's already very good."

Liu Guoqin smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not often that I can eat these at home."

Livestream audience: [Wow, today I've witnessed our ancestors' drama of breaking off an engagement.]

"No, how could this family have the nerve to stay for lunch after breaking off the engagement with someone else's son?"

[Didn't you see? It was our two ancestors who forced us to stay here.]

[From the way they address each other, it's clear that even if the two families aren't in-laws, they're still relatives.]

#Archaeology is too hard, but I like it# A comment explained, [From what I hear, this female ancestor and the Yi family's female ancestor are sisters.]

"Ah, isn't that a close relative? It's better to break off the relationship."

But our ancestors didn’t believe this, or they didn’t understand it.

[That's right. Our ancestors often married close relatives. It was only after this rule was written into the Marriage Law that this phenomenon was most likely eliminated.]

The eldest and second brothers did not come back to have lunch with the guests. After Yi Rongqi came back from outside, he told everyone that the eldest and second brothers were having lunch at the fourth master's house.

Yi Zhongxiang smiled and said, "Then forget about them. Come, Mr. Lai, his fifth daughter, and Fen'er. There's nothing good to treat you, so don't be disgusted."

"Master Yi (Uncle Yi), don't say that."

Mr. Lai smiled wryly and said, "This is already an excellent meal."

"Yes, Master Yi, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Liu Guoqin also hurriedly said politely, "These days, having noodles to eat is already very good."

"I can't even eat noodles at home if I want to."

Lai Xiufen said with a heartless smile, "Master Yi, the food in your house smells delicious."

Liu Guoxiang looked at her and said nothing, and the others didn't know what to say.

The dinner table was extremely awkward for a moment.

Lai Xiufen also felt that it was inappropriate for her to laugh at this time, so she quickly restrained her smile and buried her head in eating.

Lunch was finished in this awkward atmosphere. The three members of the Lai family felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they drank a bowl of water after the meal and got up to say goodbye.

"His uncle Yi, his aunt, even though the children's affairs are over, we are still sisters and aunts after all. I hope we can continue to visit each other in the future."

"We're not that stingy."

Liu Guoxiang said coldly, "Your Fen'er has found a good marriage, and it's not easy for me, as the eldest lady, to stop it."

"The two children will just see each other less often in the future."

Don't come to my house and make my son sad if you have nothing to do.

If I had known your family was like this, I should not have agreed to this marriage.

It was obvious that they had a hard time back then, and they proposed the marriage by taking advantage of their marriage relationship with the Yi family and taking food from the Yi family to support their family.

Now, young people have their own love, and it seems as if they are the ones who are rushing to get married.

Hearing that the eldest sister was in a bad mood, the old couple didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

Finally, she said, "In short, our two families are still sisters, and we should visit each other when necessary."

After hearing what the adults said, the fragmented memories in Yi Rongkun's mind seemed to be connected.

In that very long dream, my mother died after taking medicine, and my fifth daughter's family had a big fight with their family, and then we didn't see each other for many years.

It was not until later, when the fourth son of the Fourth Master married a girl from the Fifth Lady's village, that the two families began to visit each other occasionally.

But in the end, the relationship never returned to the state it was before the divorce.

Yi Rongkun didn't know why the two families didn't quarrel this time, but she remembered that her second sister-in-law was a very gentle woman.

Besides, it’s not her business as a child to interfere in adults’ affairs.

Only after my second brother comes back from Fourth Master’s house, I can quietly tell him how good my second sister-in-law is.
