Hearing Tan Qingshan politely decline, the older woman felt it was a pity, but could only nod.
That girl named Dujuan will regret it sooner or later.
Du Juan was overjoyed to learn from Du Xiaoru that her aunt had actually made an exception and agreed that she didn't have to marry Tan Qingshan.
He thanked Du Xiaoru repeatedly, and Du Xiaoru proudly raised her chin.
"It's just a small matter, but you can't go back on your promise."
Du Juan had no intention of going back on her word and repeatedly said no.
He then made an appointment with Du Xiaoru to eat braised pork at a restaurant, and told her to go ahead while he went to the factory to borrow money.
Actually, he just took 5 yuan from his own savings and pretended to borrow it from someone else.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Du Xiaoru ate until her mouth was greasy before they finally went home.
Standing by the second-floor window, Chen Meiqing watched as her daughter and Du Juan opened the door and entered the courtyard, chatting and laughing. A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
Since she doesn't want to accept her good intentions and dares to take advantage of Xiaoru's naivety, then she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless and merciless.
Xing Lanhua was all smiles and beaming with joy just last week.
Just a week later, after Tan Qingshan returned and left again, his face fell down again.
When some busybodies in the village saw this, they couldn't help but gossip behind his back, saying that the girl Tan Qingshan had previously set up with hadn't taken a liking to him.
Although Tan Qingshan is considered a hot commodity in the village, he is only so-so in the eyes of girls in the county town.
When Xing Lanhua overheard the gossiping person saying these things while washing vegetables by the river, she almost crushed the vegetables in her hands to pieces.
Fu Dahua, however, was secretly pleased upon hearing the news.
As long as Brother Qingshan isn't married, she still has a chance.
However, Tan Qingshan only came back once a week, so even if she wanted to do something, she didn't have the time to do it.
Ning Jing also learned about this news from Aunt Wu and Sister Guihua. She sighed slightly but then put it out of her mind.
She spread her hands with a big smile and said to everyone, "Look, what's this?"
"egg!?"
Aunt Wu and Wang Guihua, including Su Meilan who had been acting as if she were invisible since the last time, all shouted in unison.
The shouts were filled with disbelief.
Normally, chickens are raised for more than 100 days before they start laying eggs.
These chickens and ducks have only been raised for a little over two months, less than 90 days, since they were hatched.
Surprisingly, it actually laid an egg!
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that this egg was significantly smaller than the eggs usually laid by a hen at home, and there was a trace of blood on its shell.
First-laid eggs like these are the most nutritious, and many families will save them for the most favored member of the household.
Thinking of all the chickens and ducks in the farm, Wang Guihua quickly said, "Quick, let's go check again. There should be more than just one egg."
After all, they were all bought and raised in the same batch, so it's impossible for only one hen to be special and lay eggs earlier.
Upon hearing Wang Guihua's words, Aunt Wu and Su Meilan both turned and searched the chicken coop.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, they returned with smiles on their faces.
The three of them used the corners of their clothes to hold about ten eggs.
In total, there are thirty or forty of them.
"This is a first-laid egg, it's a very nutritious thing."
Aunt Wu said happily.
Hearing Aunt Wu say that, Ning Jing thought of the twins at home, and her heart stirred.
