Qiu Xu and Xia Minrui have to study tomorrow, so they went with Qiu Yan.
As for Qiu Ling'er, at Guo's request, she and Xiao Ran stayed at her aunt's house for the time being, to keep Xia Minxin company, and will be picked up again tomorrow.
After Qiu Yan and Qiu Xu left, Guo Shi and Xia Minmin talked about her marriage.
“Minmin, now that my legs have almost recovered, you should start thinking about yourself.”
The Zhou family has come to propose marriage several times. What do you think?
"Mother, we're not a good match." Xia Minmin didn't have a good impression of Zhou Bin. Besides, she felt that the Zhou family was large and powerful, while her family was small and insignificant, so they were not a good match.
"I've considered the issues you've been thinking about, but you're not young anymore. Apart from the Zhou family, all the other families are...it's all my fault for holding you back. Sigh, after much thought, I've decided...why don't you..."
"Mother, if Zhou Bin really wants to marry me, why hasn't he come to visit even once?"
This is the issue that Xia Minmin cares about most.
Xia Minmin felt insecure around Zhou Bin.
"Furthermore, I am a few years older than him."
"He's not that old. There's an old saying, 'A woman three years older than her husband is like holding a gold brick.'" Guo thought that the landlord Zhou seemed like a good person. After proposing marriage that day, he had repeatedly come to their house with generous gifts to discuss the marriage. She felt that this marriage was feasible.
Unfortunately, Xia Minmin remained unyielding.
Xia Minmin sighed, "But..."
Just then, there was a loud knocking at the courtyard gate.
Who is it?
Xia Minmin breathed a sigh of relief. With someone coming to visit, her mother stopped mentioning the Zhou family matter.
However, the moment she opened the courtyard gate, what she saw was Zhou Bin's tense face.
He was carrying many things in his hands, with a hen and a duck hanging around his neck, one on each side.
The two locked eyes. Zhou Bin's face turned deathly pale, while Xia Minmin was stunned, frozen in place, by the sight of the hen and duck on Zhou Bin's chest.
The unease she felt inside subsided when she met this person.
Finally, Xia Minxin broke the silence with her question, "Sister, who is he? That's interesting."
“Zhou Bin,” Xia Minmin replied.
"Um...it's me." Zhou Bin's face turned from red to white, and he managed to stammer out a sentence after a long while.
“Xia Min… Min, I… I came… to see you.”
The moment Guo saw Zhou Bin, even though she had never met him before, she recognized him at a glance from his face, which resembled that of the landlord Zhou.
This person has a decent appearance and seems honest and simple, but he has a slight stutter.
Guo nodded gently. Because her legs had not fully recovered, she could only slowly and carefully walk towards the two of them, step by step.
"Minmin, don't just stand there, quickly invite the guests in."
"Come in," Xia Minmin said.
She could never have imagined that the man who now seemed so dazed and foolish could do such a frivolous thing to her.
Zhou Bin smiled憨厚ly at Guo Shi, "Hello, Auntie... I am... Zhou Bin."
"Alright, alright, Auntie understands. Come in and sit down. Zhou Bin, next time you come, you don't need to bring so much stuff."
Landlord Zhou visited several times, and each time he brought many gifts.
Logically speaking, his family were landlords in the village, so what kind of wife wouldn't be hard for their son to find?
Unfortunately, their son's foolishness caused him to fail at every matchmaking attempt, much to the dismay of Landlord Zhou.
