Chapter 290 Heart-pounding
“No one objects,” said Xiao’s father.
"Ha, do you think I don't know? As soon as those people in the family heard that Pei-chuan was going to marry someone, and someone outside the family at that, they all came to see you every day!"
“But I didn’t agree to any of them.” Mr. Xiao really felt wronged.
"Anyway, if you ever agree, just wait and see how I deal with you! Our Xiao family can't be ungrateful people!"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
“That’s what it is.”
“Feng Chen, Xue Ning, tell me, when has your dad ever done anything unreliable?”
Xiao Fengchen and Xiao Xuening exchanged a glance and said in unison, "No."
"See? The kids all think I'm reliable."
"The child is on your side."
"Mom, my sister-in-law looks so beautiful. Do you think I should take her out for a walk when I have some free time?"
Xiao's mother glared at her daughter: "With your older brother here, do you even need him?"
"Yes, yes, I misspoke. I'll go find my sister-in-law and get to know her better, since I'll be her sister-in-law in the future."
"Don't be that difficult sister-in-law."
Xiao Xuening: ...
She felt that her image had been shattered in her mother's eyes.
When would such a lively and kind girl do something like bullying others?
Sure enough, the eldest brother is still more important.
Xiao Xuening looked at her mother with disappointment.
"Don't do that. You came from my belly. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Perhaps when her daughter was little, Xiao's mother would feel sorry for her if she did this, but after it happened many times, Xiao's mother realized that her daughter was doing it on purpose.
If my daughter, who's so easygoing, were really that sensitive, I wouldn't be worried at all.
Sometimes, even Xiao's mother would doubt whether her daughter would ever get married.
Of course, with the Xiao family's capabilities, she could definitely get married, but she was afraid that her daughter would suffer mistreatment after marriage.
So over the years, Xiao's mother has been raising her daughter to be gentle.
Fortunately, he has cultivated a gentle demeanor on the surface over the years, but deep down, he is still the same.
In the end, Xiao's mother simply stopped interfering; as long as her daughter didn't suffer any losses, everything was fine.
"Hehe, Mom, you're my real mom, so it's settled then. I'll take my sister-in-law out for a walk once she's rested. My brother is also an option, but he's not a girl."
"You think you know everything!"
“Of course.” Xiao Xuening raised an eyebrow smugly.
"Feng Chen, spend more time with your sister-in-law's family. So many young people have come along because they're worried about your sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, Father, I know."
"Yes, I trust you to handle things."
"Dad, my sister-in-law is really popular; so many people are protecting her," Xiao Xuening remarked, noting that it was very similar to their local clan.
"So if you can't get along with your sister-in-law, then there's something wrong with you."
Xiao Xuening: ...
Fine, she had nothing to say.
The Xiao family's home is not far from the train station; it only takes about twenty minutes by car.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a very large gate, which looked very grand.
The main gate was wide open, and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were already waiting.
Seeing Xiaotaohua and the others coming over, he smiled and said, "Since it's our first time here, let's be a little more formal."
This was a serious matter, and Little Peach Blossom also became serious. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao smiled and gestured for the group to follow them.
Originally, the guests were supposed to leave first, led by servants. However, since all the guests this time were younger, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao had to go ahead and walk in front.
Not to mention the grand exterior, the interior is also full of winding corridors. Only when they reach the main hall can the group sit down to drink tea and rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything, but let Xiao Taohua and the others leave the main hall at their leisure.
The room is full of young people; having these two elders there would only create an awkward atmosphere.
With all her elders gone, Xiao Xuening longed to get closer to Xiao Taohua, but Xiao Peichuan glanced at his third sister, then looked down at his partner: "Are you tired? Do you want to go and rest? The room is all ready."
Little Peach Blossom put down her teacup: "I am a little tired."
"Then let's go and rest."
"What about Brother Li Zhen and the others..."
"Don't worry, someone will take care of it."
Little Peach Blossom thought for a moment and nodded, but she still told Brother Li Zhen and the others before leaving.
Li Zhen and the others were alright; after finishing their tea, they wanted to ask about the Xiao family, so they didn't come along.
Xiao Xuening really wanted to go with them, but when her older brother gave her a look, she became timid.
Xiao Fengchen glanced at his sister with a gloating expression.
"Your house is so big." Little Peach Blossom couldn't help but say as they walked to the guest room.
"Yes, it will be your home from now on. Of course, that's only before we separate. If we separate, I might have to ask Little Peach Blossom to take me in."
"It's okay, I'll take you in, but my house isn't that big."
"It's okay for me, I'll be wherever you are."
"Oh, you like me that much."
"nature."
"Hehe, I like you very much too. Your younger brother and sister also seem to have great personalities."
"Even if they have bad personalities, it doesn't matter. As the eldest sister-in-law, I have the right to discipline them."
"Then forget it."
Xiao Peichuan gently took Xiao Taohua's hand: "Come on, your place is just ahead. Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, we can make some changes."
"OK."
In the living room, Li Zhen drank a few sips of tea.
"Are you Xiao Peichuan's younger brother, Xiao Fengchen?"
"Yes, Brother Li Zhen." Following his older brother's lead, there's nothing wrong with that.
We apologize for disturbing you this time.
"No, we are very happy that you could come."
"What are the customs and traditions for marrying a woman from another region?"
Good grief, this is a death trap question right off the bat.
Xiao Fengchen, who was already on tenterhooks, was now even more anxious.
“I only listen to the truth.” Li Zhen glanced at him.
Xiao Fengchen, who had originally intended to make a lie, immediately lost his mind and smiled, saying, "Of course I have to tell the truth. To be honest, very few people marry out of our area; most marriages are between locals. But don't worry, Brother Li Zhen, our family likes Miss Lin very much. Although marrying out is rare, it's not unheard of."
"What's the current situation in your family?" Li Zhen lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers together.
"Hmm?" This range is too broad, Xiao Fengchen was a little confused.
Li Zhen looked up: "Are your parents the heads of the family now?"
"Yes, my parents are the heads of the family."
"So who will be the next person in charge?"
Xiao Fengchen glanced at him: "Me."
"Really? So, Xiao Peichuan, as the eldest brother, isn't the next head of the family?"
"Yes, because my older brother has been in poor health since childhood."
"If it gets better, will they replace the doctor?"
Li Zhen's questions became increasingly sharp, making Xiao Xuening, who was listening nearby, feel her heart pound.
I never expected that my future sister-in-law's side would be so clear about things right away.
Moreover, he was not polite to his second brother at all.
Xiao Xuening didn't dare to breathe and just sat there quietly.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fengchen answered Li Zhen's question: "No. I won't change the person."
"This is what you said, what you said that represents the entire clan?"
“What I said represents the entire clan,” Xiao Fengchen said with certainty.
