Chapter 59 Sister-in-law, do you have a younger sister?
Lu Zheng noticed Xia Qianqian glancing towards the middle-aged woman and reassured her, "Don't look around. People like that are everywhere. It's not worth getting angry with them."
Xia Qianqian nodded, raised her wrist to look at her watch, and found that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
She asked, "Where are we going to stay tonight? If we really don't have anywhere to stay, should we go find Qin Yan first?"
Lu Zheng waved his hand: "There's no need to look for him. Although my house in the provincial capital has been seized, it's not difficult to find a place to stay. Just come with me."
Lu Zheng grew up in the provincial capital and was very familiar with the area. He led Xia Qianqian, and after walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a large courtyard.
Lu Zheng stopped and turned to Xia Qianqian, saying, "Wait here for a moment."
"Okay." Xia Qianqian nodded obediently, stood at the door, and watched Lu Zheng turn around and step into the courtyard.
"Brother Lu, did you really get married in the countryside?" Peng Fei was overjoyed to see Lu Zheng arrive, but then, remembering the news from everyone, he hurriedly asked.
Lu Zheng said, "I'm having my wedding this month. You can bring your brothers to the wedding banquet."
Upon hearing this, Peng Fei grabbed his hair in frustration, turning his once neat hair into a mess.
“Brother Lu, you can’t give up on yourself! You used to be a regimental commander, how can you marry a rural woman?” Peng Fei said anxiously, his words coming out in rapid succession.
It's not that the women in the village are bad, it's just that in his heart, those rural women are simply not good enough for Brother Lu.
In Peng Fei's eyes, Brother Lu was like a war god, a hero in their hearts.
The brothers in the team were always curious about what kind of sister-in-law Brother Lu would find. They all thought that she should at least be a virtuous, kind, and beautiful woman.
But no one expected that Brother Lu would be reduced to marrying a rural woman, which Peng Fei found hard to accept.
“Brother Lu, since you’re not officially married yet, why don’t you take your time looking? You’re so young, you’re sure you can find someone more suitable,” Peng Fei advised, trying to help Lu Zheng reverse this “wrong” decision.
At this point, Peng Fei suddenly slapped his forehead, only then remembering that Lu Zheng was still taking care of Da Ya and her two children.
He hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, it was my oversight. It's inconvenient for you to find a partner while you're taking care of Daya and the others. Why don't you give the children to me and I'll raise them? I'm in the city, so it's more convenient for me than for you in every way."
Hearing Peng Fei's words, Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, my mind is made up. Besides, you'll know what kind of person your sister-in-law is when you meet her. Let's go, your sister-in-law is still waiting at the gate. We'll stay here tonight."
Peng Fei never expected that Lu Zheng would actually bring that country woman to the provincial capital.
He was still not too happy that Lu Zheng would marry a rural woman, but since she was already at the door, he couldn't bring himself to turn her away.
After all, Lu Zheng was his respected elder brother, and he had to give Lu Zheng face no matter what.
“Alright then, I’ll tell my mom right away and ask her to get the house ready as soon as possible. We have plenty of empty rooms, so you two can each have a room.” Peng Fei agreed.
If it were one of Lu Zheng's previous girlfriends, no matter how spacious their homes were, Peng Fei would definitely say that there was only one bed left.
But he wasn't really satisfied with this "sister-in-law" from the bottom of his heart, so he decided to separate the two of them for now.
He was secretly plotting something, thinking that he would have a few drinks with Brother Lu tonight and see if he could persuade him to change his mind. He couldn't let Brother Lu regret it for the rest of his life.
As they spoke, the two men walked out of the courtyard.
Peng Fei's gaze was immediately drawn to the beautiful figure at the door. How could there be such a beautiful person in the world! The woman's skin was as white as snow, her eyes were full of affection, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
At that moment, she actually looked right at him!
In that instant, Peng Fei felt his heartstrings being plucked, as if he had fallen in love.
She... she actually smiled at herself!
Could it be that she also has feelings for him? This thought involuntarily crossed Peng Fei's mind, and his face involuntarily turned red.
"Lu Zheng, who is this?" Xia Qianqian asked when she saw Lu Zheng walking over with a young man.
Lu Zheng introduced, "This is Peng Fei, my brother. Peng Fei, this is your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law!" Peng Fei managed to stammer out those two words with great difficulty.
Hearing the undisguised smugness in Lu Zheng's words, Peng Fei almost burst into tears. He never imagined that such a beautiful woman would become his sister-in-law in the blink of an eye!
In that brief moment, he even thought of names for their future child.
But now, Brother Lu hasn't given him a single chance. Peng Fei felt bitter. Having seen such a heavenly beauty, how was he ever going to find a girlfriend again?
Lu Zheng glanced at Peng Fei, seeing right through his brother's little scheme, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
He coughed lightly and said, "Why don't you say hello to your sister-in-law?"
"So you're Lu Zheng's brother. It's a pleasure to meet you." Xia Qianqian extended her hand to Peng Fei in a generous manner.
Peng Fei was about to reach out to shake hands, but when he looked down at his own hands, he saw that they were covered in thick calluses. He immediately felt as if he had been burned and quickly put his hands behind his back.
Looking up again, he caught sight of Lu Zheng's murderous gaze. He shuddered and thought to himself that if he dared to hold his sister-in-law's hand, Brother Lu would probably chop it off.
However, Peng Fei seemed to have thought of something good, and suddenly became happy again. He eagerly gestured to Xia Qianqian, saying, "Sister-in-law, please come inside. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go prepare some good dishes later, and I'll treat you and Brother Lu to a good meal tonight."
Seeing Peng Fei's face change faster than flipping through a book, Lu Zheng frowned and began to have some doubts.
Why is this kid laughing like a weasel?
Previously, Peng Fei had been constantly looking down on Qianqian for being a country bumpkin, but now he's acting like a completely different person, starting to fawn over her.
He originally wanted to introduce Xia Qianqian's identity to Peng Fei, so that the kid wouldn't look down on him and would know that Qianqian was not some uneducated rural woman, but the eldest daughter of the Xia family.
However, seeing Peng Fei's appearance, Lu Zheng changed his mind and decided to wait and see.
Xia Qianqian was unaware of the conversation between the two in the courtyard. She assumed that Peng Fei was just a hospitable person, so she followed him into the courtyard.
Peng Fei quickly went out and bought wine and food. After a few rounds of drinks, he finally revealed his true colors, holding up his wine glass and asking, "Sister-in-law, do you have a younger sister?"
