"younger sister!"
The second brother hugged Ruan Meng tightly, making Ruan Meng feel a little embarrassed.
Those who don't know might think they haven't seen each other for years, but in fact, it's only been three days.
Moreover, my second brother goes to the Xinglin Hall every day to deliver messages, but they just don't meet.
The third child is at home, and I am indeed very worried.
So, the second brother didn't hold her for long before the third brother pulled her away, and Ruan Meng was put into the third brother's arms.
Upon seeing Ruan Meng, the villagers relaxed and, filled with curiosity, gathered around her.
"Miss Ruan, why are there gongs and drums?"
"Yes! There were also musical instruments and singing. I've never heard anything like it before in my life!"
"I haven't heard it since many years ago, when I saw a wealthy merchant's daughter getting married in the city and he hired musicians to play instruments. It was so lively! And so beautiful!"
......
Once they calmed down, the third brother released Ruan Meng and urgently asked the second brother:
"Sister, what's going on? Did you invite all these people?"
As soon as Ruan Meng nodded, the second brother shielded her, blocking the villagers behind them, and lowered his voice:
"Little sister, isn't this a bit too ostentatious? Wan You just left, did you find out and immediately hire someone to play music and sing?"
Ruan Meng smiled, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
"That's not all!"
Seeing this, the third brother stopped the conversation and asked the carriage next to him:
"Sister, did you hire the carriage? Is there anything on it?"
Ruan Meng nodded, and the second and third brothers persuaded the villagers to make way. Song Shiyuan and Fan Zili were also in the procession, helping to maintain order so that the carriages and procession could get away.
On the carriage, Ruan Meng told her two brothers what she had learned about Granny Liu's nephew.
The second son exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Karma came so quickly?"
The third brother lowered his head but did not show any surprise.
The second brother asked again, "So, sister, is this procession, along with the paper money and incense, prepared for Granny Liu? To comfort her spirit?"
Ruan Meng chuckled, "The singing and playing team was naturally prepared for Wan You; otherwise, how would he know I was back?"
"Hey! If he comes, I'll leave! If he leaves, I'll go back, just to annoy him!"
The second son couldn't help but chuckle, his gaze towards Ruan Meng filled with affection.
Ruan Meng continued, "However, Second Brother is right. Even if I want to anger him, there's no need for me to openly antagonize him. It's enough to know the truth in our hearts; why point it out in public?"
"Once the procession, along with incense, candles, and paper money, is pulled up in front of Granny Liu's grave, who dares to say I'm targeting anyone?"
The second brother patted Ruan Meng's head and nodded repeatedly.
"Almost home! Your older brother and sister-in-law miss you!"
The third brother instructed, "No matter where you go in the future, don't hesitate to take your brother with you, no matter which one it is!"
Third Brother's domineering attitude warmed Ruan Meng's heart, and she still said:
"Third Brother, I'm about to come of age!"
The third brother said seriously, "Let's talk about it after I come of age!"
Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows, her face full of knowing, "What if you wait until I turn 18 next year, and then you all say we should wait until I get married?"
In this era, facing her current situation, Ruan Meng didn't actually want to get married; she just wanted to solve her basic needs and provide a better life for her brother and sister-in-law...
If we don't get married, won't we always have to listen to our brothers?
Although she listened when she wanted and didn't listen when she didn't want to, she was just deliberately teasing her two older brothers...
But to the second and third sons, it meant something completely different.
The two looked at each other, their eyes revealing a range of emotions.
"What's your rush?!"
"Even after you get married, your brother will still take care of you, and he'll take care of your future husband too!"
The two were in a hurry, their faces slightly flushed.
The second son, who is gentle by nature, suddenly felt a sharp toothache when the words "future husband" were mentioned to his sister.
The carriage stopped at the door, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, along with the Song and Fan families, came over together, following the sound of gongs and drums.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law saw that the second and third brothers were blushing, as if they had just had a fight, while Ruan Meng looked completely innocent...
Everyone was slightly surprised. The eldest brother and sister-in-law walked to the carriage and reached out their hands to Ruan Meng:
"I'm finally back!"
Before she could even speak, Ruan Meng could vaguely sense that she couldn't suppress the smile on her face!
It turns out that he had truly integrated into the original owner's life and regarded his older brother and sister-in-law as his real family!
The second and third brothers first unloaded the herbs and put them into the clinic.
Upon seeing the incense, candles, and paper money, Fan Zizhong understood something.
Seeing the villagers follow, he deliberately raised his voice and asked:
"Little sister, are these all prepared for Granny Liu?"
Ruan Mengchao nodded to Fan Zizhong, silently expressing his gratitude, and also answered aloud:
"Yes! I was too busy before to hold a memorial service for Granny Liu. I happened to be passing through the city today and was sent back by a nobleman in a carriage, so I bought incense and paper money on the way back."
"No one is mourning Granny Liu, but we can't let her leave quietly like this. Granny Liu is strong-willed and surely wouldn't want a group of people to suffer like this, so please forgive my boldness, but I've hired a drum and gong troupe to bring Granny Liu some joy!"
The villagers, who had been discussing the matter enthusiastically, suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.
