Song Anxin smiled. The reason she didn't tell her sister-in-law earlier was because she knew Daxi had reservations and hoped that she could spend more time with Qingshan and see how he behaved.
But it's almost time now, hopefully the two of them can finalize this matter soon.
Qingshan, carrying a bunch of bowls and chopsticks, walked woodenly alongside Lin Daxi. Dacao and Xiaocao chattered around Lin Daxi and Qingshan, occasionally asking questions of their mother and Uncle Qingshan.
At this moment, Sister-in-law Lin suddenly interrupted.
"Great news, Qingshan, you two really do seem like a family."
Lin Daxi and Qingshan were startled. Lin Daxi said, "Mother, don't talk nonsense like that. Qingshan will get married in the future."
Sister-in-law Lin smiled and said to Qingshan, "Then it's perfect for me to marry you, Qingshan, don't you think?"
Aoyama's face immediately turned bright red, and he stammered, "Uh...yes, yes, I, I can do it."
Lin Daxi was caught off guard and said, "Brother Qingshan, what are you talking about? My mother was just joking with you."
How could a woman who had been married before and had two children expect such a good thing to happen to her?
"What are you joking about? Qingshan likes you. Your second aunt and I can both see it. How can you be so clueless?" Sister-in-law Lin said bluntly.
Lin Daxi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Mother, don't talk nonsense. How could Brother Qingshan like me? If you say this, I'll never be able to face Brother Qingshan again."
After saying that, she quickly walked forward on her own, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Helpless, Sister-in-law Lin pushed Qingshan forward: "Qingshan, hurry up and go. If you like him, you should tell him. Otherwise, I'll have to arrange a marriage for Daxi with someone else."
Upon hearing this, Qingshan immediately went after Lin Daxi.
"Miss Da Xi, wait a moment."
Lin Daxi stopped in his tracks, not daring to look at the green mountains.
"Brother Qingshan, I'm sorry, my mother was just talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart."
“No, no,” Qingshan’s usually cold face turned dark red, his eyes filled with nervousness. “Auntie is right, Miss Daxi, I, I like you.”
Lin Daxi suddenly looked up, then immediately turned her head away and looked elsewhere: "Brother Qingshan, don't joke with me. I'm a woman who has been married and has two children."
“I don’t mind, Miss Daxi. Your kindness and generosity are very admirable to me,” Qingshan said, his eyes lowered, standing there somewhat forlornly. “Miss Daxi, do you look down on me because I’m just a servant? I am indeed unworthy of you, Miss Daxi. I am already very satisfied to have been able to express my feelings to you. If you find this troublesome, I will never appear in front of you again. Farewell!”
As soon as Qingshan finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Lin Daxi quickly called him back.
"Hey, big guy, stop right there! Who said I looked down on you?"
Qingshan turned his head, his face lighting up with joy, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Miss Daxi, you, you mean...?"
Lin Daxi looked conflicted, but finally said, "Wait for me."
As he spoke, he ran towards Sister-in-law Lin and Da Xiaocao.
"Big grass, little grass, how about Uncle Qingshan be your daddy?"
The eyes of both Big Grass and Little Grass lit up instantly. Big Grass said, "Really? Big Grass likes Uncle Qingshan. Uncle Qingshan is good to Big Grass and Little Grass. He carries Big Grass and Little Grass on his back and rides them on horseback. He even takes Big Grass and Little Grass flying. It's so great that Uncle Qingshan can be Big Grass and Little Grass's daddy!"
"Mommy, Xiaocao wants Uncle Qingshan to be our daddy. Uncle Qingshan is so amazing, he'll take us flying!" Xiaocao said in a soft, sweet voice, echoing her older sister.
Qingshan walked over and, upon hearing this, solemnly said from behind Lin Daxi, "Miss Daxi, I will definitely take good care of Dacao and Xiaocao. From now on, I will protect you, okay?"
Tears streamed down Da Xi's face. She had actually fallen for Qingshan a long time ago, but she had too many concerns. She never expected that Qingshan liked her too. This big guy really didn't say a word.
She turned her head, her eyes filled with tears yet also with a smile: "Okay, from now on, I'll leave my daughter and me in your care."
Sister-in-law Lin was overjoyed and wiped away tears of excitement.
She did try to find a suitable husband for Daxi, but as soon as people heard that Daxi had been married and had two children, they all shook their heads. Some people who thought she could accept the marriage had husbands who were either physically disabled, mentally ill, or elderly and had grandchildren.
She had originally intended to give up on this idea, but was overjoyed to have a share of the profits from the silver ear fungus, which meant she could raise the small and large grasses all by herself.
However, she still hoped that her daughter could have a loving and caring man, so that after she and her man passed away, and Da Xiaocao and Da Xi got married, Da Xi could have a companion in her old age.
I never expected that God would give Da Xi such a good man. Da Xi has finally found happiness after all her hardships.
When everyone heard the news, everyone except Song Anxin was stunned.
Lin Erxi yelled, "Brother Qingshan, you're usually so quiet, but you actually like my older sister! You should have told me sooner! You're such a good person, if I had known, I would have already set you up with my older sister."
"Oh, Dongzi's mother, congratulations! Qingshan is such a good person. Now you can finally rest easy," Old Mrs. Song said repeatedly.
Brother Lin was very satisfied with his son-in-law. They got along well in the fields. He was unusually excited and said repeatedly, "Good, good, Qingshan, I feel at ease leaving Daxi and Daxiaocao in your care."
Qingshan and Daxi stood there looking embarrassed.
Song Anxin asked Song Mei to bring Qingshan's indenture and immediately returned it to him.
Qingshan was utterly astonished as he held the indenture in his hand. Guards like them, trained from childhood, would never be easily released by their masters.
"Qingshan, what are you standing there for? You're free now," Song Anxin said with a gentle smile.
After realizing what had happened, Qingshan was both moved and overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lady Gong. I have no way to repay your kindness."
Song Anxin teased him, "What, you've forgotten the rules just because you're no longer one of my people? You're not allowed to kneel down so casually."
"Gongren is like my second parents, so this kneeling is what Qingshan should do." Qingshan said, and solemnly kowtowed several times.
Song Anxin quickly helped him up, feeling touched. Sincerity is always reciprocal.
"I accept your gift. From now on, you're a free person. Have you thought about how you want to live with Daxi from now on?"
