After the two left, Sun Zhengguo found Wang Aifang and prepared to explain the situation to her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back to the courtyard house first. My brother-in-law doesn't object to their relationship, and if Aihua doesn't object either, I estimate it's very likely to work out."
"Thank you for your help, brother. Aihua has already told me, and she's very satisfied. But where are they?"
"Everything is going according to plan. Just wait for good news!"
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he prepared to return to the courtyard. Now that the connection had been made, there was basically nothing left for him to do. If this still didn't work, then Ning Dazhuang was truly a blockhead.
After leaving the courtyard, Sun Zhengguo chose to walk, since it wasn't far from his home.
Before he could take more than a few steps, a figure blocked his way. Upon seeing who it was, Sun Zhengguo felt a chill run down his spine and turned to leave.
"Sun Zhengguo, you stop right there! Why do you try to run away when you see me?"
Left with no other choice, Sun Zhengguo turned around and pretended to be calm.
"Lou Xiao'e, what a coincidence! I've run into you here."
"What a coincidence! I searched for a long time before finally finding this place. What? Am I so disliked by you that you want to run away as soon as you see me?"
Sun Zhengguo hadn't expected that Lou Xiao'e was so persistent. He had already rejected her several times, yet she still came knocking on his door. If Ning Xiaowei were to run into her, she would never be able to explain herself no matter how many mouths she had.
"Lou Xiao'e, I've already said it, we're not suitable. Since you managed to find this place, you should know that I'm already married. Why are you doing this?"
Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's words, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but let her tears stream down her face.
Ever since that tall, imposing figure saved her a few years ago, she has never been able to forget him. Even though they haven't seen each other for a year and he is already married, she still can't help but come looking for him.
"Oh dear! Please, please stop crying, okay? If others see this, they'll think I'm being a pervert!"
"Pfft!"
The word "auntie" successfully made Lou Xiao'e stop crying and start laughing.
"I really wish you would act like a scoundrel, but do you have the guts?"
After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she puffed out her chest, looking defiant.
Faced with such provocation, if it were a man, Sun Zhenghui would have shown him why the flowers are so red.
But given Lou Xiao'e's behavior, he didn't dare to accept the offer! However, considering that this wasn't a place to talk, it wouldn't be good if Wang Aifang saw them.
"Lou Xiao'e, can we talk somewhere else? I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding if someone sees us."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being misunderstood."
Lou Xiao'e felt she had found Sun Zhengguo's weakness and said nonchalantly.
"But I'm scared! I'm scared, okay? What if something gets out? How am I going to explain this to my wife when I get home?"
In order not to put Sun Zhengguo in a difficult position, Lou Xiao'e came up with a plan. She took out paper and pen from her bag, wrote down an address, and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.
"I'll be waiting for you here at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Hope that won't put you in too much trouble?"
Sun Zhengguo took the note and saw that the address was on Jiaodaokou South Street. He wanted to think about it some more, whether to go or not.
“If you don’t go, I’ll make a trip to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
Threat, a blatant threat! What's the point of going to the Chinese Materia Medica Research Institute? Isn't that just like going to find your wife?
Sun Zhengguo felt like crying but had no tears. What exactly did this woman want to do?
However, in the end, Sun Zhengguo decided to make a trip to thoroughly discuss the matter, as continuing to entangle himself with it like this was not a good idea.
"What's your decision? To go or not to go?"
"go."
Sun Zhengguo said through gritted teeth.
"Isn't that too difficult?"
Sun Zhengguo stared wide-eyed at Lou Xiao'e, but ultimately gave in and shook his head reluctantly.
"Then I'll wait for you, I won't be late."
Lou Xiao'e was in a very good mood at the moment, having finally gotten Sun Zhengguo under her thumb today.
Now that the matter was settled, she didn't intend to provoke Sun Zhengguo too much. She turned around, pushed her bicycle parked by the roadside, and rode away into the distance.
Even after Lou Xiao'e disappeared from sight, Sun Zhengguo remained standing there.
He was still wondering what Lou Xiao'e was up to.
Although Lou Xiao'e is quite beautiful, she already has Ning Xiaowei and cannot accept her.
"Ugh! Why is this woman so stubborn? I'm her benefactor, is this how you repay a debt of gratitude?"
After a string of complaints, Sun Zhengguo walked back towards the courtyard house.
Back at the courtyard house, Sun Zhengguo was still in a bad mood all day because of the upsetting incident.
It wasn't until Ning Xiaowei got home from get off work in the evening that Sun Zhengguo forced a smile and told her about Ning Dazhuang, fearing she would become suspicious.
"So, they've already hit it off and even went out for a drive. What happened next?"
An excited Ning Xiaowei quickly pressed for more information.
"I don't know what happened after that. I can't just go with them, can I? But your future sister-in-law is smart! She should be able to seize this opportunity."
“Being smart is actually a good thing, because it's good that someone can keep my brother in check.”
The two chatted for a while longer before Mr. and Mrs. Sun went home from get off work.
Seeing their son and daughter-in-law chatting happily, the elderly couple also came over.
When they learned that Ning Dazhuang and Wang Aihua were dating, they were genuinely happy. They knew both of them and thought they were a good match.
That evening, after the family had finished dinner, Ning Xiaowei was about to clear the dishes when Lin Wencui stopped her.
"Xiaowei, let Mom come today. You should go home early and see how things are going with your brother's matter."
Ning Xiaowei was even distracted while eating, and Lin Wencui knew exactly what was wrong, so she took over the task of washing the dishes.
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Mom and Dad, we'll head back now."
After exchanging greetings, the two got into the same car and headed towards the courtyard.
Before long, the two returned to the courtyard, where Sun Zhengdong and his wife, who were chatting, immediately greeted them.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are back."
"You're back, Aifang. Tell me quickly, how are things going between my brother and your sister?"
Ning Xiaowei couldn't wait any longer. The first thing she did upon returning was to ask her older brother about his marriage.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I was just about to tell you about this! Please sit down first."
Wang Aifang smiled. She hadn't expected Ning Xiaowei to be so anxious. Seeing this, Sun Zhengdong quickly brought over a stool, gesturing for his elder brother and sister-in-law to sit down first.
After the two sat down, Wang Aifang spoke.
"Everything went as Zheng Guo predicted. The two of them played until 3 p.m. before returning. Brother Ning had something to do at his unit, so he went back first. But I asked my sister, and the two of them have already crossed the line and can pretty much confirm their relationship."
"Really! That's wonderful! My mom would be so happy if she knew."
"Sister-in-law, we still don't know what Auntie's opinion is."
Wang Aifang's concerns were not without merit; if Wang Guiying disagreed, nothing she said would make a difference.
"Don't worry about it! You know my mother-in-law, she's obsessed with finding a daughter-in-law. Aihua is such a good woman, she has no reason not to agree. She should be secretly happy!"
"Hahaha……!"
Sun Zhengguo's exaggerated description made Sun Zhengdong and his wife burst into laughter, but it earned him a roll of his eyes from Ning Xiaowei.
"How can you talk about your mother-in-law like that? I'm going to tell my mom that you're making things up about her."
“Honey, I was just being polite. I was just happy for my mother-in-law. I absolutely didn’t mean to make fun of her.”
"Hahaha……."
Seeing Sun Zhengguo's cowardly expression, another burst of laughter erupted in the courtyard.
