When Qian Duoduo woke up in the morning, she heard people talking in the yard. She turned over, puzzled that someone had disturbed her sweet dream. She opened her eyes sleepily, looked at her watch, and saw that it was almost 8 o'clock. This was a natural awakening that she hadn't experienced in a long time.
She stretched, got dressed, grabbed her toiletries, and left the room. Once outside, she saw He Ying chatting with Jin Jinxiu in the yard. When she saw Qian Duoduo come out, she smiled and greeted her.
Qian Duoduo greeted He Ying warmly before going to wash up. He Ying watched as Qian Duoduo went to the well to fetch water, then turned to Jin Jinxiu and said, "Our Duoduo is getting prettier and prettier. No wonder they say girls change a lot as they grow up!"
“Yes, this child has been beautiful since she was little, and she’s become even more beautiful as she grows up,” Jin Jinxiu agreed.
"By the way, didn't she get engaged to Lu Yuan? When are they getting married?" He Ying asked curiously.
Jin Jinxiu sighed upon hearing this topic, frowning as she said, "Sigh, these two kids aren't in a hurry at all. I'd like them to get married soon, but they don't seem to be in any rush. You know, getting married would put our minds at ease."
"Oh dear, aren't the two children getting along quite well? Although I haven't seen Lu Yuan much, he seems to really like our Duo Duo, and he's not young anymore!" He Ying also had a good impression of Lu Yuan, so even though she was reluctant to let Duo Duo get married, she still tried to persuade her.
"That being said, I still hope they can be happy. Our children are all good children. After all, marriage is a lifelong commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly." Although Jin Jinxiu didn't show it on her face, there was still some reluctance in her tone.
“Jinxiu, we’ve been together for so many years. Duoduo is the only girl in our Qian family, and she’s quite capable. You can tell from the things and money Qian Xiang and the others brought back. Duoduo is incredibly good to her brothers. Now that Duoduo is home, I think you should ask her. Girls don’t last as long as men when they’re in their prime. Even if the children don’t bring it up, you should at least bring it up,” He Ying suggested.
"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to talk to her later," Jin Jinxiu nodded in agreement.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Qian Duoduo stretched, got up, washed, and then went to the dining table to enjoy the delicious breakfast that Jin Jinxiu had prepared for her. He Ying sat beside her, watching Qian Duoduo eat with great interest, and then turned to chat with Jin Jinxiu: "I knew it! This child really changes after going out and getting some experience! Look at her, even the way she eats has become so refined. Unlike those people in our village, who practically fight over food."
As Qian Duoduo took a bite of her steamed bun, she overheard He Ying and her mother's conversation and felt utterly speechless. What was going on? Why were they talking about her like that in front of her? Suddenly, she found it difficult to reach for the plate of braised chili peppers her mother had made with her chopsticks.
Jin Jinxiu noticed the awkward look on her daughter's face, and quickly stood up with a smile, pulling He Ying into her room. She knew her daughter was shy, so she wanted to give her a quiet environment to eat properly.
After the two entered the house, He Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. She patted off non-existent dust from her body, then smiled and sat slowly on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), saying to Jin Jinxiu, "Xiu, I think our daughter's expression is just too funny."
Jin Jinxiu patted her, signaling her to stop talking. But just because they didn't say anything didn't mean others wouldn't. Sure enough, Qian Duoduo had just put down her chopsticks when she saw someone walk in, and this person was clearly coming for her.
Niu Cuihua smiled and said, "Duoduo, did you just finish eating?"
Qian Duoduo said calmly, "Yes."
Niu Cuihua leaned forward again, and seeing Qian Duoduo's smooth, black hair cascading down her back, she looked at her as if she recognized her and said, "Duoduo, why aren't you combing your hair?"
Qian Duoduo's tone remained calm: "I don't want to comb it."
Niu Cuihua could see through Qian Duoduo's indifferent tone, but considering that the village chief's family could build the first two-story house in the surrounding villages, it was clear that the brothers must have made a lot of money outside. Now, apart from their own relatives, they had never taken anyone out. She thought that this time when Qian Duoduo came back, she could build a good relationship with her and see if she could take her husband and her brother out to make a lot of money and build a small villa.
She said with a smile, "Duoduo, your clothes are so beautiful. The fabric looks so high-quality. They must be very expensive, right?"
Qian Duoduo looked down at her clothes, which were just simple loungewear. However, these were not products of this world; she and Su Ruanruan had bought them, and they had bought more than one set, giving them to people close to them. But why would she tell Niu Cuihua about these things?
One day, Qian Duoduo said, "I didn't spend any money on this outfit." He spent gold coins, not banknotes.
Niu Cuihua nodded immediately, looking like she understood. She moved closer to Qian Duoduo and smelled a faint floral fragrance. She couldn't help but twitch her nose. It smelled so good! She couldn't help but take two more steps forward and said with a grin, "I've heard that your boyfriend's family is extremely wealthy."
Qian Duoduo said, "If someone has money, it belongs to them, not me."
Niu Cuihua thought about it and couldn't help but nod. Her husband's family was not bad either, and they gave her a dowry of 200 yuan when she got married. But after getting married, she did laundry, cooked, and took care of the children every day. She didn't seem to have any money in her pocket. Suddenly, she felt envious of Qian Duoduo.
