The conversation between the Xia mother and daughter was oppressive and somber.
As Qiu Yan listened, she genuinely felt that Xia Minmin was exceptionally sensible.
In Qiu Yan's eyes, Xia Minmin was only twenty years old, a time when she was as beautiful as a flower in full bloom.
But this is a distant, otherworldly place. If you're twenty and still not married, you're already considered an old maid.
Thump thump thump...
Just then, the gate of the Xia family compound was knocked on from the outside once again.
Xia Minhan ran to open the door, and looking at the two unfamiliar men in front of him, he was certain that he did not know them.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Two men, one old and one young.
The boy asked with a smile, "Does Xia Minmin live here?"
The middle-aged man wore a forced smile.
Qiu Yan: This voice sounds a bit familiar?
After giving her aunt an acupuncture treatment, she stood up and peeked through the crack in the door at the courtyard outside.
The boy who just spoke was none other than Qiu Dayu.
She was somewhat surprised.
Xia Minmin was surprised to hear someone looking for her. She looked over and exclaimed, "It's him!"
Behind Qiu Dayu followed the kind-faced landlord Zhou.
As for Zhou Bin, he got lost along the way...
Hearing the inquiry, Xia Cheng also came to the courtyard gate: "What do you want to see Minmin about?"
Qiu Dayu: "Hello, Uncle. My name is Qiu Dayu. I'm Minmin's friend. Have you heard her mention me? I even saved her last time."
Landlord Zhou continued to smile obsequiously.
"No." Xia Cheng shook his head and opened the courtyard gate. "Come in."
Since the man in front of him knew Minmin, Xia Cheng had no reason to stop him.
Xia Minrui stood in front of the house, carefully observing the old man and the young man.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other.
Guo asked curiously, "Honey, who's here?"
Xia Cheng: "They said they were Minmin's friends."
Xia Minmin came out of the house, faced Qiu Dayu, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
After Qiu Yan finished administering the last acupuncture to her aunt, she followed her out of the room. As soon as she saw Landlord Zhou, she instantly understood.
Her uncle is unpredictable and always very busy.
When Qiu Dayu saw Qiu Yan, he was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Yan? What a coincidence!"
Landlord Zhou and Qiu Yan did not know each other. When they met, they simply exchanged greetings.
Xia Minhan carefully examined Qiu Dayu and asked curiously, "Cousin, do you two know each other?"
Qiu Yan replied truthfully: "He is my uncle."
Xia Minhan nodded. "What a coincidence."
Guo looked up and her gaze fell on Zhou, the landlord, behind Qiu Dayu.
This man, dressed in fine clothes, was clearly wealthy and noble.
Seeing that he was carrying large and small bags, she glanced at Xia Minmin and guessed what had happened.
Zhou, the landlord, nodded to Xia Cheng and got straight to the point:
"I heard that the Xia family has a daughter, Xia Minmin, who is not yet married. I have come here specifically to propose marriage for my son, Zhou Bin."
"Propose marriage?" Xia Cheng glanced at his wife in the room. His wife's mouth was really sharp.
She had just mentioned this to Minmin when, coincidentally, the suitors came to her door.
Xia Minhan and Xia Minrui silently stepped back. Someone had proposed marriage to their eldest sister, which was a good thing.
Guo smiled and looked at Xia Minmin.
Upon hearing the words "marriage proposal," Xia Minmin suddenly looked up at Qiu Dayu.
This person actually became a matchmaker.
Upon hearing the name Zhou Bin, she immediately thought of the incident at the brothel that day, and her face flushed slightly.
She touched her burning cheeks and asked Landlord Zhou, "Why didn't he come by himself?"
Xia Cheng also asked, "Where is your son now?" If Qiu Dayu hadn't introduced himself, he would have definitely mistaken Qiu Dayu for him.
“My son…my son is studying at the academy and can’t leave.” Landlord Zhou smiled at Xia Minmin: “I presume you are Miss Xia Minmin?”
Xia Minmin gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Yes, I am."
