"Brother!" Yan Erni looked at Yan Bingfa again, "I was married far away to begin with, and I've become increasingly estranged from my family. Now that we're related, we can get closer in the future. This is a good thing for both of us. Why do you all look down on me in every way when I come to you? Do you think you look down on poor relatives like me just because you're rich?"
Chunxiao was speechless. Her aunt's ability to make trouble was still as strong as before. "Dad, Mom, you guys can chat. It's not good to discuss marriage with Shufeng here. I'm going to take her to my place first. I need someone there."
Zhou nodded to her. Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, Xu also stood up. "Cousin, it's been a while since we last met. Why don't you stay for a while? We'll go to your place later. There's no need to rush and sit for a moment longer."
Chunxiao looked at her with a forced smile, "Cousin, there's nothing much to see living alone at the end of the village. You can just talk to my father and mother about your problems. If you want me to accompany you, just come with me." After saying that, she took Shufeng and left.
I have never seen anyone with such a thick skin. Can't she see other people's disgust? Of course not. As the saying goes, a shameless person is invincible.
Shufeng followed her and asked, "Aunt, who did my grandma and the others promise me to?"
"It's better to promise it to anyone than to your cousin's family," Chun Xiao looked at her, "Why aren't you worried at all?"
Shufeng spread her hands and said, "What's there to worry about? My mother and my grandmother will definitely not agree. Grandpa listens to my grandmother, so he naturally won't agree either. This will definitely not work out."
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "You do understand. They are just wishful thinking. Your grandma agreed because she was making herself uncomfortable. You didn't see your mother's expression just now. This is the first time I've seen your mother so angry."
"I was standing behind her, how could I see? Oh, aunt, you haven't told me who my grandma and the others promised me to. Who is it from our village?" She walked forward and shook Chunxiao's hand. "Aunt, please tell me. This is something that will happen in my whole life. I need to know."
"Okay, okay, it's okay to tell you, Uncle Shizhu's Dongsheng, you know it, right?"
Shufeng's mouth dropped open. "Dongsheng? He calls me brother and you sister, aunt. How do we calculate the generations?"
Chun Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That's all you care about. What's the big deal? When you two get together, he'll still have to call me aunt. What do you think of Dongsheng?"
"Nothing." Shufeng curled her lips, "He's so old, and we haven't said a few words to each other in total."
"You little girl." Chun Xiao tapped her forehead. "Relationships need to be cultivated slowly. Anyway, we all think he's a good person. You'll know in the future that the elders' judgment of people is not wrong."
When they reached the end of the village, they found Shuduo and her younger brothers and sisters there.
"Why are you all here?"
"Dad brought us here," she pointed to the field, "Dad and uncle are over there."
Chunxiao went to the field with a smile, "Dad said you guys went out to do some work, but you didn't expect to do it here. Aren't you afraid that Auntie will find out and gossip about you?"
"Don't tell me we're here. I can't handle my aunt's family. It's just right for me to hide here." Yan Dahe smiled helplessly, "It's just my eldest brother. I didn't expect him to be here too."
"I didn't mean to hide. I came here as soon as I got down the mountain. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaohua."
Xiaohua nodded on the side, indicating that she could testify.
"You guys are hiding here. Do you know why your aunt is here today?" She glanced at Yan Dashan. "Brother, I'm here to propose marriage to your precious daughter."
Yan Dashan was dumbfounded. "Who do they want to tell Shufeng to?"
"Brother of my cousin's family, why don't you go back quickly? My sister-in-law is waiting for your support."
Yan Dashan dropped the hoe in his hand and left in a hurry.
"Second brother, you will have to show up later, so just accept your fate." Chunxiao returned to the yard with a smile, and Xiaohua followed. "Miss, do you want to eat here or over there today?" She often ran back and forth, and Xiaohua would ask every time she cooked.
“Just eat here.”
"Sister Xiaohua, we want to eat here too." Several children gathered around.
"Okay, I'll make more." She smiled, washed her hands and went to the kitchen.
Chunxiao sat in the yard and basked in the sun with them.
"Auntie, we haven't picked many bamboo shoots yet. How about we leave them alone this afternoon and I'll go up the mountain with you to pick them?"
"I see you're really not worried at all. Okay, let's continue picking bamboo shoots this afternoon."
"I'll help you draw too. Just let Pan'er and Sister Xiaohua help look after Changxing." The few of them happily confirmed the afternoon schedule. As a result, just after they finished their meal, Yan Erni and the others came over, and Zhou and the others also came over.
They immediately saw the horses in the circle on the side and the carriages unloaded in the yard. Zhang Mingyuan's eyes widened. "Cousin, where did you get two carriages?" He walked forward to take a look.
"Cousin, be careful. This horse is shy. Be careful it might bump into you."
The family circled the carriage twice. "Tsk tsk, Chunxiao, your trip is really something! You even brought back two carriages. If we had known you had a carriage, we wouldn't have rented an oxcart. We could have just let you drive the carriage to pick us up. It's so much more impressive to ride in a carriage. Horses are much faster than oxen."
"Mom, when we go back, can't we just ask my cousin to take us back? I've never ridden in a carriage before."
Chunxiao rolled her eyes, then put on a smile and said, "Why are you all here? I was just about to take Shufeng and Duo'er up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots. Look, I've even got the backpacks out."
