"That's good, that's good."
Aunt Song smiled and said nothing more.
Song Lan smiled along.
"Qingbin's new girlfriend is much better than the previous one. She's not only good-looking, but she also seems to have a good temper. Unlike that Han Shalan, who looks down on us country folk.
When Li Jumei heard what Aunt Song said, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "As long as my Qingbin thinks it's good, his father and I have no objections."
"I asked you before why Qingbin broke off his engagement with his ex, but you kept it a secret. Can you tell me now?"
Aunt Song looked like she was looking for gossip.
Aunt Song joined in the fun: "Yes, it's the third son's family. You should say something. My sister-in-law and I aren't outsiders."
"If it doesn't fit, just return it. What else can you say?!"
Li Jumei never imagined that news of Song Qingbin being cheated on by his ex would spread. Even though Song's aunts were family, Li Jumei still wanted to keep it a secret to avoid the two sisters-in-law accidentally letting it slip in the gossip and making Song Qingbin a laughingstock in the village.
"If it's really not a good match, then what's the point of the engagement? Since we're engaged, it means..."
Before Aunt Song could finish speaking, Song Lan said, "Aunt, breaking off an engagement is not something worth publicizing. Even if my brother is in the right to choose to break off the engagement with the Han family, one cannot be too selfish. Otherwise, he will make enemies with the Han family."
Furthermore, divorces can happen for all sorts of reasons. My older brother was only engaged to the Han family, but suddenly they felt they weren't right for each other and called off the engagement. To me, that's perfectly normal.
“You silly child, your aunt didn’t say anything was wrong. Your aunt is just curious about the real reason why your brother broke off the engagement.”
Aunt Song's smile was somewhat forced, feeling that Song Lan had offended her as her aunt. She said:
"Think about it, a marriage that's been agreed upon, who would just walk away peacefully? And it was your family who went to the girl's house to break off the engagement, what does that mean? Doesn't it clearly mean that the girl's side did something to wrong your older brother..."
Li Jumei: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, there's not much work to do in the kitchen. Why don't you pour some hot water to wash your hands, or come sit in the main room for a while?"
Since they're all from the Song family, is it really necessary to dig into the details of her eldest son's previous broken engagement?
Do you want to see them make a fool of themselves?
Aunt Song and Aunt Song were taken aback at first, and then they both felt uncomfortable. They looked at each other and knew that this was a subtle way of asking them to leave!
For a moment, I felt a little uneasy.
They're just curious, it's no big deal, why...
