"I was just about to tell you this." Lin Rui said with some concern, "Building a house requires a large debt. We promised to pay it off in two years. If you feel the pressure is too great, we can wait until the money for the house is paid off before getting married."

Two years is not too late anyway. Many people get engaged for a year or two before getting married.

Hearing Lin Rui mention the matter of marriage, Zhang Xiaojuan felt more at ease and whispered, "As long as you treat me well, no matter how much money you owe me, I will be with you."

Lin Rui immediately promised, "Xiaojuan, I will definitely treat you as well as Xiaoxiao in the future."

Zhang Xiaojuan nodded shyly.

The two talked as they walked and soon arrived home.

Lin Rui sent Zhang Xiaojuan to the door, but did not go in. Zhang Xiaojuan watched Lin Rui leave before entering the yard.

Zhang Xiaoling was sitting at the door of the main room knitting a sweater. When she saw Zhang Xiaojuan come back, she couldn't help but say something sarcastic.

"You still remember to come back?"

He used to come back before lunch, but now he doesn’t come back until the afternoon.

Zhang Xiaojuan said, "I told Mom this morning that I was going to Lin Rui's house for dinner."

Zhang Xiaoling said angrily, "You said you'd come back only now? Does that mean if I just said it, you can stay wherever you want and not come back?"

"What are you saying?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked loudly.

Just as Zhang Xiaoling was about to speak, she saw Zhang's mother come out of the house. "What are you arguing about? I heard you arguing from inside the house."

Zhang Xiaoling complained, "Mom, Xiaojuan is getting wilder and wilder. She's out all day long. She's not even married yet, but she keeps going to other people's houses. She's not afraid of being laughed at."

Ever since Xiaojuan and Lin Rui got together, she would smile foolishly to herself for no reason, became obsessed with beauty, and started talking back to her, so Zhang Xiaoling became more and more dissatisfied with her.

Zhang Xiaojuan said, "Didn't Auntie say that we can sit down and discuss the date for the engagement in the next two days."

Zhang Xiaoling curled her lips and said, "Look how anxious you are. You can't wait to go to someone else's house right now, right?"

"you……"

Zhang Xiaojuan was about to refute when she was interrupted by her mother.

"You are not allowed to go to their house before you get engaged."

"..." Zhang Xiaojuan felt aggrieved, "Mom, you are biased."

After saying that, he ran straight into the house.

When she ran past Zhang Xiaoling, Zhang Xiaoling noticed that she was actually holding a bag in her hand.

It looks a bit like clothes.

Could it be that Lin Rui bought clothes for her?

With this thought in mind, Zhang Xiaoling followed in with a half-knitted sweater.

Zhang Xiaojuan was sitting angrily by the bed. When she saw her come in, she glared at her.

Zhang Xiaoling pointed to the bag on the bed and asked, "What's that?"

Zhang Xiaojuan quickly hid the bag under the quilt and said, "Nothing."

Seeing Zhuang's condition, Zhang Xiaoling became more certain of her guess, "Is this the clothes Lin Rui bought for you?"

"So what?" Lin Rui is her future husband, so what's wrong with buying clothes for her?

Zhang Xiaoling was unhappy and said sourly, "Let me see what nice clothes he can buy for you."

I have never even bought snacks for Zhang Xiaojuan, but now I suddenly buy her clothes. What good clothes can he buy for her?

Zhang Xiaojuan refused to take it out, saying, "I like the milk rags too."

Zhang Xiaoling sarcastically said, "Maybe it's even worse than a rag. Take it out and let me see. I don't want yours, so why hide it so preciously? Aren't you going to take it out and wear it?"
