Qiu Dayu was extremely anxious about Zhao Yuanyuan's inexplicable marriage, especially after hearing from Zhao Yuanyuan that Landlord Zhou intended to bring the marriage forward. He was so anxious that he developed mouth ulcers.
He smiled brightly, "Just browsing around."
Then, he waved to Zhao An, "An'an, we're leaving."
Upon hearing this, Zhao An's expression...
Sigh, he felt that his uncle was beyond saving.
He'll have to talk to his mother later and see if he can bring his uncle back to the right path.
"I'm not going." Zhou Bin instinctively resisted, but Qiu Dayu had already firmly grabbed his elbow and was pulling him along.
"Brother Zhou, we're friends now, you wouldn't refuse to give me even this much face, would you?"
Hearing Qiu Dayu's words, Zhou Bin stopped resisting. "Where are you taking me?"
"Let's be friends," Qiu Dayu said, heading towards the small courtyard where Qiu Yan rented.
Zhou Bin was taken aback: "What friend?"
"A girl." This time, Qiu Dayu was smarter; he had to make his intentions clear beforehand.
"Girl?" Zhou Bin was full of doubt, and he declined again, "I'm not going."
"Ah, Brother Zhou, I'm only introducing you to this girl because I see you rarely interact with women."
Otherwise, after you get married, you won't know how to get along with your wife. See how good I am to you.
Zhou Bin thought about it and realized that what Qiu Dayu said seemed to make some sense.
He genuinely didn't know how to deal with women.
Now, he gets nervous whenever he thinks about getting married.
Seeing that Zhou Bin had stopped resisting, Qiu Dayu asked with a mischievous smile, "Brother Zhou, what are your feelings for your fiancée?"
“She…” Zhou Bin tried hard to recall, and after thinking for a long time, he said, “I can’t remember.”
Qiu Dayu smiled and said, "It's alright."
"What do you mean, 'alright'?" Zhou Bin was full of questions.
Qiu Dayu: "What I wanted to say was that if you don't think your fiancée is suitable, I can help you find someone else."
“She’s a good person. It’s an arranged marriage, how can one disobey their parents?” Zhou Bin was puzzled. He felt like he had met a lunatic.
"Although arranged marriages are based on parental consent and matchmaker's words, they are not absolute. Aren't there many examples of couples who are not harmonious?"
At this moment, Xia Minmin had no idea that she had been set up.
She felt that Baiyang City was really nice; she had learned a lot in just a short while.
Holding her only twenty-odd copper coins and one tael of silver in her hand, she stood in front of a pastry stall, looking at the golden peach shortbread, hesitant and undecided.
Ever since she tasted the peach shortbread at Qiu Yan's house that day, she had been thinking of letting her mother try the flavor as well.
She originally intended to give these copper coins to Qiu Yan.
However, after meeting Qiu Yan, she felt embarrassed to show it off, so she kept it on her person.
Not only did she not give away the money, she also ended up with an extra tael of silver.
It was Qiu Yan who gave it to her, saying it was her wages for the past month.
She initially refused to accept payment; she was simply helping out.
However, Qiu Yan persisted.
The pastry stall owner glanced at Xia Minmin with her eyes darting around.
Look at this girl's outfit, she's obviously from the countryside and has never seen the world.
"Hey girl, you've been looking around for ages, are you going to buy it or not?"
The proprietress glanced at Xia Minmin sideways, speaking in a high-pitched, affected tone.
Xia Minmin realized that she had blocked someone's business and was being disliked, so she quickly shook her head.
"I...I won't buy it." With that, she stopped looking at the shopkeeper and slunk away.
Let's keep this money to supplement our household expenses.
"Young lady, is this your first time in Baiyang?" Just then, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind Xia Minmin.
