Chapter 632 I Want to Go Out and Play
Zhou Xi has experienced ups and downs, as well as the dullness of life, and has seen the most evil human hearts in the world, so she is not a 28-year-old girl.
Even if she didn't notice it at first, she would be able to sense the contempt beneath the honest exterior of those men after a couple of times.
They seem kind to you, but their attitude is always subtly superior, as if marrying them is her only way out and a blessing earned through several lifetimes.
Zhou Xi had been holding back her anger and unwilling to give in, but slowly, as she earned more and more money, her complexion became more and more rosy. Although Old Zhou and Qian were very worried in private, they would not force her to go out and see a man, and this went on year after year.
Guan Xin is an exception.
Her story is no secret, and you will find out if you ask around. When she followed her sister-in-law to the county town to open a shop, there were often "enthusiastic people" who came to propose marriage to her.
So Guan Xin only needed to ask a little to find out.
Ever since Liu Dalang came to her house and she wanted to chop him with a kitchen knife, her story spread even more widely.
Yes, after that incident, she was completely cleared of the problem of Liu Dalang's infertility, and his reputation was ruined.
But her situation wasn't much better. Occasionally, one or two people would come to her house to hint at her, but after that day, no one was there.
No longer will any aunt or grandma come to her door and ask her to introduce someone to her...
But Guan Xin started to come to the door.
At first, Zhou Xi thought that this person didn't know her background or was deliberately teasing her.
But after they came more often and talked more, she realized that he really didn't care about her past. He even shared the same opinion as her that it was the Liu family and Liu Dalang's fault and had nothing to do with her.
He didn't even think there was anything wrong with her holding a kitchen knife to chop her ex-husband, and told her bluntly, "I just like your boldness."
Although Zhou Xi didn't think he was aggressive, he couldn't help but feel warmed, as if warm water was flowing through his heart.
Then Zhou Xi wanted to get married.
I can have a companion, a child, and a home of my own, without having to live with my parents or siblings, and without having to think twice before taking a step...
Zhou Xi placed Manbao's hand on her belly, looked at her with bright eyes and asked, "Manbao, do you think my elder sister can really have children?"
Manbao blinked and said, "Didn't Fourth Brother say that Brother Guan would be fine too? Then there should be no problem."
Zhou Xi blushed.
The last time Zhou Silang came back, he specifically asked Guan Xin to go out and go to the clinic together. She knew that Guan Xin was unhappy for two days after coming back from the clinic, but then she didn't know why she became happy.
After Xiao Qian and his family stayed at home for a day, Qian said to Zhou Xi, "Your sister is back. I think you should not go to the shop for now. Stay at home and prepare for your wedding."
Then he said to Xiao Qian, "The shop will be open for two more days. On the tenth day, you can close it and go home. Although we don't have many employees, there are still many things to do at home, and you have to take care of them."
Zhou Xi and Xiao Qian both nodded in agreement.
As for Manbao, she went to the county town with us. She didn't do anything but eat, drink and play.
Old Zhou and Mrs. Qian left her alone. Zhou Xi watched her skip away with Mrs. Qian, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. "Mom, didn't you ask Manbao to stay home with me?"
Qian took a look at Manbao, who had already run away, and couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "Forget it, she can't sit still either. How are your clothes going?"
“It’s all done.”
"Then make two more sets. Your sister happened to buy a lot of fabrics, and the colors are quite bright. I'll give you both of my two sets. You should wear something festive after you get married, so that your life can be prosperous..."
Zhou Liulang went to the county town with his eldest sister-in-law, her mother and her son. He carried a load of things. Seeing Manbao walking happily with empty hands, he pointed at the vegetables in the load and said, "Come and help me carry some."
Manbao refused, "It's too tiring to carry it. I'd rather take turns carrying it with you."
"Come on, with those tender little shoulders of yours, have you ever carried anything?" Zhou Liulang asked her, "Is Yizhou City fun?"
"It's fun, much more lively than the county town." Manbao gestured, "Kangxue Street where we live is as lively as a county town during festivals on weekdays, and when Kangxue Street celebrates festivals, it's as lively as the county town during the Spring Festival."
Zhou Liulang was filled with longing and asked, "What about the New Year celebrations at Kangxue Street?"
"I don't know. I've never spent the New Year on Kangxue Street."
Everyone: ...
"But Kangxue Street is just one street in Yizhou City. There are many more like it. The main street is called Suzaku Street, which is much more lively and prosperous." Manbao sighed, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, there were assassins and the main street was overcrowded. People were trampled to death. The master said that we are not allowed to go to crowded places anymore."
Zhou Liulang opened his mouth wide.
Little Qianshi didn't even bother to look at the basket on her back. She grabbed Manbao and asked, "Are you hurt or scared? Why didn't you tell me your fourth brother was back?"
"No, no," Manbao said immediately, "We are far away and not hurt at all."
After Manbao comforted Xiao Qian, he asked about the operation of Qian's Restaurant.
Datou said proudly, "Our restaurant is doing great business. It's always packed for three meals a day. Only my mom doesn't make midnight snacks, otherwise it would be packed at night as well."
Mrs. Qian glanced at him and said, "Anyone who comes for a late-night snack must be drinking. We don't make any wine, so there's no need to compete with others for this business. Besides, your sister is in the shop. What a mess it is to have so many drunks coming in and out."
Zhou Liulang nodded repeatedly, "Drinking can easily cause trouble. Even with my brother-in-law's support, there will still be conflicts, so it's better not to make a midnight snack."
Xiao Qian is very satisfied now. "Now the restaurant earns enough money. A few years ago, who would have dared to think about it?"
Zhou Liulang said, "I've been dreaming of opening a shop in Yizhou City. Manbao, I've saved some money from my sixth brother. I'll give it to you later. Please help me save it."
Manbao said it was no problem, "Sixth Brother, can you still open a restaurant?"
"Why not? Ask your sister-in-law if I'm a particularly good student, better than Daya."
Little Qian narrowed her eyes and nodded, saying, "Liu Lang is indeed a good student, and Datou is also a good student. They are much better than your elder brother."
Manbao asked Zhou Liulang, "Sixth Brother, are you going to get married?"
Zhou Liulang shook his head. "I don't want to get married. I want to follow you to Yizhou City and other places to have a look. Look at my fourth and fifth brothers. After getting married, they always want to go home. How boring."
Xiao Qian patted him on the head and said, "That's what a good man is. You don't even bother to learn it, you'll be single for the rest of your life."
Zhou Liulang snorted, "That's impossible. Now, not only in the village, but even on the street, everyone knows that I'm rich. Every time I go out, everyone I meet proposes marriage to me. How can I not get married?"
Xiao Qian took Manbao away and told her not to pay any attention to him.
