"Little steward, have you forgotten that your sister has martial arts skills for protection?"
Song Lan placed the wicker basket she was carrying on the steps under the eaves, turned around to fetch water to wash her hands, and then asked Song Guoqing, "Where is my older brother?"
"I'm here."
Before Song Guoqing could speak, Song Qingbin's voice came from inside the main room.
"Brother, is your cold getting any better?"
Looking towards the main room, Song Lan asked.
Song Qingbin had already come out of the main room. He said, "I took the cold medicine you kept at home, and I'm mostly better now."
"That's good."
After washing their hands, Song Lan, Song Qingbin, and Song Guoqing went into the kitchen to help Song Sanhe and his wife serve their bowls.
"Didn't I tell you to rest in the main room? Why are you in the kitchen?!"
Li Jumei felt sorry for her daughter.
"I don't feel tired."
Song Lan smiled.
...
Half an hour later, after the family finished eating, Song Lan helped Li Jumei clean up the kitchen. The mother and daughter returned to the main room and chatted with their family. At this time, Song Lan finally had time to ask about the annulment of the engagement with the Han family.
"How did things go with my older brother's annulment of the engagement?"
"If things don't go smoothly, does the Han family intend to cling to this marriage and refuse to break off the engagement? You don't know, the moment your father and I entered the Han family's door, the Han couple immediately apologized, as if they were afraid that your father and I would say something unpleasant."
Even though we're country folk, we don't resort to insults out loud. The engagement was broken off smoothly, but I still feel a bit resentful. I think the Han couple are shameless; otherwise, would they have let their daughter cuckold your brother?!
When Li Jumei thought of the shameful things Han Bailan had done, her heart felt heavy and she felt extremely disgusted.
"I know you're upset, Mom, but what's done is done. Even if we feel uncomfortable, that's all we can do. Otherwise, do you expect my older brother to marry her and let her ruin our family?"
Song Lan tried to comfort her, but Li Jumei retorted, "Cause trouble for our family? How dare she?! She has no shame. Any family that marries her will be incredibly unlucky!"
Needless to say, the "she" Li Jumei was referring to was Han Bailan.
"Mom, you're right to think that way. No matter which family marries Han Bailan, nothing good will come of it. Besides, my older brother was already planning to break off the engagement. Now, Han Bailan has given us leverage over him."
That's how our family was able to smoothly cancel the marriage proposal without having to worry about any bad reputation. Anyway, I'm very happy for my older brother that we were able to successfully cancel the marriage proposal with the Han family!
