Chapter 18 Preparing to Break Off the Engagement (1/2)



Xitao from the next village got married. It was a grand and lively wedding. Xitao's mother was A'niang's cousin, so as cousins, A'niang and Yansheng also brought Qin Shuang to the banquet.

Qin Shuang was a stranger, and she didn't know most of the people at the banquet. But A'niang was very interested and kept introducing Qin Shuang to them.

Qin Shuang is thin-skinned. When she was in the city, she was not good at saying hello, so people in her company gave her a nickname - the cold-faced heroine. But when she came here, she became more enthusiastic.

"Yeah, her aunt, this girl is so pretty, is she your relative?" A woman with a blue headscarf on her head and a baby in her arms glanced at Qin Shuang and asked.

The mother smiled and said, "No, no, my Lu Sheng brought me here. I plan to stay at my house for a while!"

"Sit at your house for a while?" The woman glanced at Qin Shuang's pretty face and asked with a smile, "I don't think it's that simple. Is she the future daughter-in-law?"

"This..." A'niang was embarrassed for a moment, and looked at Qin Shuang, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Sheng, on the other hand, playfully leaned over to Qin Shuang and said, "Yes, she is my sister-in-law. My brother likes her. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"

Qin Shuang's face flushed red, and she quickly grabbed Yan Sheng's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not your sister-in-law!"

Yansheng pouted, feeling bored, and ran away to play aside.

Seeing this, Ah Niang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, stop guessing. I still don't know who my daughter-in-law is. To be honest, my Lu Sheng is going to be engaged to Er Ya soon, and we'll hold a wedding for them later!"

"Really?" A group of women sitting together looked at each other and smiled, "It seems that your family's wedding is coming soon. Have you discussed the bride price?"

A woman holding her child adjusted her sitting position and asked again.

A Niang raised her lips and said, "Not yet. When my son comes, I will pick a day to invite him to my house!"

"Oh, then congratulations to you, her aunt!" A woman began to congratulate her!

"No, no, no!" A Niang waved her hand in response, and her old face became particularly radiant.

"That's right, that's right," another woman in a flowered apron began to agree, "His family is very down-to-earth and handsome. He will definitely give her a big fat grandson in the future!"

"Haha, then auntie, you will be busy in the future!"

"Yes, yes..."

The women all started talking, and another sharp-eyed woman glanced at Qin Shuang and asked again, "If she is not your daughter-in-law, then who is she?"

A'niang felt embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to introduce Qin Shuang's identity.

Qin Shuang smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm Lu Sheng's friend. I have a foot injury and no one to take care of it, so I'm staying at his house for a while?"

"Stay here?" The women present looked at each other, not quite understanding what she meant.

A'niang looked at the scene in front of her and began to mutter to herself.

As soon as Lu Sheng got home in the evening, his mother stopped him and said, "Why did you come early today? I have something to tell you!"

Lu Sheng put down the tool bag in his hand, scooped a bucket of water from the bucket and started to wash his body, "What's the matter?"

He took off his muddy shoes and asked casually.
