Sun Jinhua and Fan Erzhu arrived with tragic expressions, having thought it was a sure thing, never expecting this outcome.
In the past, they might not have felt any disappointment, but now that they've been rejected, the two of them feel more and more that the Ding family is a good in-law family.
The Ding couple had skills, so they must have taught Ding Jiajia. They also had a house and some savings. They only had one daughter, so wouldn't everything belong to her in the future?
Fan Erzhu suddenly realized that marrying Ding Jiajia would save him twenty years of hard work.
A feeling of reluctance welled up in my heart.
However, upon seeing Aunt Ding's furious expression, the two seemed to envision her lifting them up and force-feeding them scoops of herbs, displaying a ruthless disregard for their lives.
The two felt a sore throat and dragged their feet back.
Fan Erzhu comforted himself along the way, saying that Ding Jiajia was a toad with a face full of pimples, and whoever married her would be unlucky.
Aunt Fan pursed her lips, looking on with amusement, but in her heart she was thinking of going to have a good chat with her old friends!
After seeing the three off, Qin Yilin patted her clothes to get rid of any bad luck.
Then he went home.
As soon as she entered, Ding Heli gave her a thumbs up.
They could hear it clearly from inside the house.
Qin Yilin complained, "Look at you, if it weren't for this, would you still be putting up with this today?"
What kind of repaying evil with kindness is this? This family deserves an eye for an eye.
Now it's not easy to do something openly and honestly anymore.
Ding Heli shrank back and remained silent.
Ding Jiajia changed the subject at the right moment: "Mom, the honey is filtered. Should we take two big jars with us?"
When facing her beloved daughter, Qin Yilin reverted to her gentle and soft-spoken manner: "You don't understand, two large jars are quite a lot for most families in the village, it's presentable."
Ding Jiajia: ...She was just afraid of too much, which would surprise people.
When my parents used to give things to the neighbors, the quantity or value of the gifts always surprised people.
I wonder where they developed these habits.
Fortunately, my parents knew to keep a low profile and sent gifts very infrequently.
Qin Yilin, carrying a large jar in each hand, earnestly instructed her daughter beside her: "Be careful when you walk, the road is slippery, don't fall. I can't support you with both hands."
Ding Heli immediately tensed up and hurriedly asked, "How about I carry the jars over there, and you help the girls?"
Ding Jiajia chuckled: "Dad, Mom, I'm sixteen now, not a little kid anymore. I can walk."
"Dad, you stay home and watch over these medicinal herbs. Don't let any wild animals eat them. Mom and I will go."
Ding Heli was still worried, so he watched the two until they were out of sight before he began to process the medicinal materials.
Ding Jiajia followed behind her mother, and for some reason, her heart was beating faster the closer she got.
"Oh dear, my heart is pounding a little hard, Jiajia, are you nervous?" Qin Yilin asked in a low voice.
Ding Jiajia was startled, but after calming herself down, she replied, "...A little bit too."
Hearing that her daughter was also nervous, Qin Yilin thought it was normal. She looked up at the magnificent house in front of her and sighed, "I suggested building a brick house, but your father insisted it would be too conspicuous."
"Look how nicely she built it! It has a big yard, which is convenient for drying herbs."
When Qin Yilin saw the burly young man who looked like a small mountain in front of the courtyard, she was even more startled.
She was wrong when she said Fan Erzhu looked strong.
Compared to the man in front of him, Fan Erzhu didn't even look particularly strong!
