Chapter 3: Marriage Arrangement
Shen Qingran didn't even think about it, and stepped forward to hold Shen's mother's arm.
"Mom, stop yelling."
Mother Shen glared at the disappointing Shen Qingran. Who was she doing this for?
This damn girl, when the critical moment comes, she becomes so cowardly that she has to rely on her old bones.
Mother Shen grabbed her arm and said, "Stand aside, I will definitely take care of this for you."
Turning to Mrs. Huo, she said, "Old sister, everyone in the village has seen this. If your son doesn't marry, I will hang myself at the door of your Huo family and ask for justice for my daughter."
Mother Huo felt a dull pain in her heart. Her eldest son had a bright future ahead of him. If he married a village girl, and such a terrible one at that, how would he live in the future?
She looked at Shen Qingran's fair and tender little face and didn't think she was pretty at this moment. Instead, she thought she was a seductive vixen.
Furious, Huo's mother slapped Huo Tingxiao in the face with a slap, her face full of disappointment, "You are confused!"
Seeing Huo's mother getting angry, Huo Tingxiao had a cold face and felt uncomfortable.
"Mom, how can you blame my brother? It's this woman..."
"Enough, second brother!" Huo Tingxiao stopped Huo Tingzhou from speaking with his eyes.
Who is Mr. Huo? Having been a leader for so many years, he could tell at a glance that there was something fishy.
At this critical juncture, the boss and his family must not make any mistakes.
His sharp eyes circled around Shen Qingran's face with great pressure.
Their eyes met and Shen Qingran nodded at him politely.
Father Huo looked at the pair of clear and clean eyes and felt a little surprised. A person's eyes cannot deceive others.
This girl is not that bad.
"Since you like her, then file a marriage report."
Mother Huo's eyes widened and her face was distorted with anger.
"Do whatever you want, I don't care anyway."
Seeing Huo's mother walking out angrily, the yard was filled with awkwardness.
Shen Qingran looked at the people from the Huo family. It was over, really over. They had completely fallen into the stinking ditch.
I can't wash it clean even if I want to.
Huo Tingxiao had a cold face and a frown on his brows, which made people feel uneasy.
"Since I promised to marry you, I won't go back on my word, just remember what I said before."
Shen Qingran noticed that he was in a bad mood, and her face turned red when she saw the sarcasm that could not be hidden behind his eyebrows.
He responded quietly, "Okay."
There is no way, everything is wrong from the beginning.
Even if she didn't do it, since she took over the original owner's body, she should bear the consequences.
Mother Shen wanted to go forward and argue a few words, but was pulled back by Shen Qingran, who shook her head at her.
"Humph, Shen Qingran, you are even more disgusting than I thought."
Huo Tingzhou kicked the bucket away angrily and ran out following the backs of Huo Tingxiao and Huo's father.
Seeing this, Shen Chaoxi followed.
Watching the people from the Huo family come and go in a hurry.
Among the villagers who gathered around to watch the fun, someone said sourly, "Oh, congratulations! Qingran will be the wife of an officer from now on!"
Mother Shen rushed to the door and yelled, "If you can't eat grapes, you say they are sour, and if you can't eat salty radishes, you don't have to worry about anything!"
After being scolded, the crowd finally dispersed.
Mother Shen seemed to have lost all her strength and sat on the stool at the door.
Looking at Shen Qingran's absent-minded look, he sighed.
After all, they are your own children. No matter how disappointing they are, they are still your flesh and blood.
"Mom knows that you like Huo Tingzhou, but that guy has a greasy face and is not as down-to-earth as his brother, who is handsome and strong. Listen to mom and stop thinking about that brother!"
Mother Shen knew that her daughter was stubborn, so she was afraid that she would come up with another idea and get involved with the other person's brother again.
Shen Qingran's mind was a mess.
She knew that it would be useless to explain that she didn't have it, so she just nodded and said, "I know, Mom."
"It's good that you can think it through. Go back to your room and have a good rest. The eldest son of the Huo family is a soldier. He will go with the army after getting married. Mom will ask the aunt in the village what to bring." Mother Shen pushed her into the room.
Shen Qingran felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her parents were divorced in her previous life and she grew up with her grandmother.
Later, after her grandmother passed away, she was like a weed on the roadside, growing wildly. She finally got into a medical university and worked her way up to the position of deputy director, but she never expected to die.
Perhaps because she had never felt such strong maternal love in her previous life, her eyes were filled with tears.
Mother Shen did things inappropriately, but she could feel her deep love for her daughter.
"Mom, I think clearly and I won't act willfully."
Mother Shen heard her say this, and saw that there was no reluctance on her face.
Then he smiled, patted her hands, his eyes reddened, "Go back and see what you want to bring. If you don't have anything, tell me and I'll go buy it for you."
On the other side, Shen Chaoxi chased the Huo family to the entrance of the village.
He kept bowing and apologizing.
"Brother Tingxiao, Brother Tingzhou, Uncle Huo, I'm sorry, it's my sister who was willful. I'm really sorry for what happened today."
Huo Tingxiao: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Yeah, it has nothing to do with you, why are you apologizing?"
"You should be more careful in the future and have less contact with her, so as not to suffer any loss."
Seeing that the Huo family was disgusted with Shen Qingran, he became anxious.
Shen Chaoxi finally felt relieved.
Watching the Huo family's two sons and three men walk away, the aunt who was watching the fun not far away came over curiously.
"Chaoxi girl, what did you say to the Huo family just now? I saw you bowing and apologizing."
Shen Chaoxi's eyes were red, and he seemed very nervous.
"Aunt Zhao, you are wrong."
Aunt Zhao is a person who loves gossip. Her eyes are rolling around. Could there be something wrong with the Shen family’s marriage?
"Chaoxi, your sister has found a good family, why are you crying?"
Shen Zhaoxi sobbed and muffled, “No, nothing, I didn’t have a blind date with the Huo family…”
This time, the woman was dumbfounded.
"You mean Qingran stole your partner?"
Shen Zhaoxi shook her head repeatedly, “Auntie, no, don’t talk nonsense.”
Looking at her evasive appearance, Aunt Zhao covered her mouth in surprise.
"Oh my dear mother! How could Shen Qingran do such a thing as snatching the bride? Little Chaoxi girl, are you just going to let her go like this?"
Shen Zhaoxi was anxious, “Aunt, my sister didn’t rob the bride, if you talk nonsense, be careful that my aunt will tear your mouth.”
After saying that, he turned and ran.
The joy in his eyes facing the wind could not be suppressed.
Shen Qingran, you owe me all these.
