Chapter 580: I apologize to you on behalf of my brother
Although Wenjiu and his sister treated Chu Zhuru badly, she was after all Chu Xiuli's biological sister whom she had loved for decades. She still felt uncomfortable. After lunch, she went upstairs to rest uncomfortably. The old man also felt unwell and went to sleep after lunch.
Wen Jiu ordered the gifts to be delivered to Liu Xiaoxiao's house tomorrow twice according to the list she gave him and then locked the door to prevent anyone from touching them and not being able to find them.
“I can’t tell!”
"You are so careful now."
Wen Jinyan crossed her arms over her chest, followed Wen Jiu with her long legs, and made a buzzing sound.
Wen Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to his rude words, so he grabbed his arm and walked out, "Do you know who has flowers growing nearby? Or who has good flowers growing on the street? I want big, beautiful ones."
"What do you want to do with your money? You useless bastard who can't eat or drink." Wen Jinyan was lazy and unwilling to leave.
"Stop talking nonsense to me!"
"Tell me quickly if you have any!"
Wen Jiu pinched his arm, which instantly made him full of energy.
"Wenjiu, you evil woman, you are going to pinch off my flesh." Wen Jianyan angrily accused Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't show off your poor performance in front of me. Don't I know how much force I'm using?"
What are you pretending for?
Does he think he is more tender than tofu?
The two of them exchanged some money before Wen Jianyan rode his bike with Wen Jiu to buy some fruits and gifts and went to the home of his classmate who had flowers.
When the classmate's mother heard that she was planning to get engaged, she smiled and picked up a pair of scissors to cut a basket full of roses and roses from the yard. She also asked enthusiastically: "Are these enough? If not, I'll go to the yard to cut some more for you?"
Wen Jiu said quickly: "That's enough. I'm really sorry to bother you so much."
The classmate's mother smiled and said, "What's the problem? It's just a few flowers. It's not something expensive. Don't be polite. It's great to be able to share in your brother's good fortune."
If her son could be as capable as her when he grows up, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
When they returned, Wen Jinyan asked curiously, "What do you want to spend the money on?"
Why would flowers be used for engagement?
Aren't all the gifts ready?
Wen Jiu poked him on the back and said with a smile, "You don't know this, do you? When my elder brother and sister-in-law were not on good terms, they had a conflict for a while. Whenever my elder brother was free, he would send flowers to sister-in-law and ask for her forgiveness. Now he is on a mission to get engaged and can't go. Shouldn't I ask sister-in-law for forgiveness on his behalf?"
She sighed after she finished speaking. Being a military wife means you have to get used to your husband not being at home and often have to face everything on your own.
Engagement may just be the beginning. There will be marriage, pregnancy, illness and childbirth in the future...
Wen Jinyan clicked his tongue twice after hearing this. "I never thought that Wen Chuji, that smiling tiger, would actually do such a childish thing. I must make fun of him someday!"
"If you're not afraid of being beaten, then go ahead!" Wenjiu had no objection to this, since he wasn't the one getting beaten anyway.
Hearing the mocking tone in Wen Jiu's words, Wen Jianyan roared in anger: "I will beat him down sooner or later! If you look down on me again, I will throw you into the river to take a bath!"
What he feared most in this family was Wen Chuji and then Wen Zhenhua, because Wen Chuji was really cruel when he beat him. Once, he beat him so hard that two of his teeth fell out. Fortunately, he was in the period of changing teeth at that time, otherwise he might have a lisp now.
When Wen Jiu heard that he was angry, she immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking. Wen Jinyan said that throwing her into the river was impossible, but this little bastard could really throw her on the road.
Although this place is close to home, she doesn't want to hurt her legs.
When I got home, I found a bucket to warm the wine, added water into it and soaked the flowers. The next day after breakfast, I took out all the flowers, wiped them dry with a handkerchief, and wrapped them with clean water before putting on makeup.
The engagement process is when the man goes to the woman's house. This was Chu Xiuli's first time proposing marriage proposal. Even though she had already chosen her clothes, she was still nervous and kept going back and forth to arrange them.
"Ajiu, look at how this dress looks on Mom."
"Will it be rude?"
Wenjiu, who had answered the question more than ten times, hugged her arm and used his ultimate move.
"Mom, you are a little biased!"
"When I got married, you didn't seem to be nervous about helping my brother get a marriage proposal!"
"Nonsense?" Chu Xiuli said angrily, "From the time I knew you were getting married until you returned home after the wedding, I was so worried that I didn't sleep well. You are so heartless and you still blame me."
Wen Jinyan added: "I remember clearly what you looked like today. You have to be like this when I get married!"
The two of them were joking around, and Chu Xiuli soon calmed down. After packing up for Old Man Wen and Wen Zhenhua, she went to count the things she was going to take to Liu's house. Soon Xie Tianzong and the others came over.
Chu Xiuli saw that Old Madam Chu had also come and hurried out to greet her, "Mom, why are you here too? You are not feeling well, didn't I tell you that I would pick you up when Chuji gets married?"
Mrs. Chu suppressed the urge to cough, held her hand and said with a smile: "My health is not serious and I don't have any old problems. How can I not come to my eldest grandson's engagement? This is my first precious grandson!"
Chu Qingyan also came, bringing with her little son, the chubby Zhou Muchu.
As soon as he got off the car, he ran over happily and hugged Wenjiu's legs, "Sister!"
Wen Jiu smiled and touched his face, then took his hand and went into the house to say hello to Xie Tianzong, who seemed to have become more handsome recently.
Old Master Wen only had one son, Wen Zhenhua, and he didn't have any relatives, so the people who went to arrange marriages for Wen Chuji were basically from the Chu family. But they were all very well-educated and had good temperament. Even if they were standing in a crowd, they would still attract people's attention at a glance. But the most dazzling ones were still Wen Jiu and Xie Tianzong.
Wenjiu wore a white dress, her hair was casually tied with a ribbon, and her face was thinly coated with a layer of skin care product. She stood as gracefully as a pure and beautiful jasmine flower.
Xie Tianzong was wearing a white shirt, and as soon as he stepped out of the car, the girls who were watching him blushed and their hearts beat fast. They wanted to look at him but didn't dare to, so they could only take a sneak peek, then quickly look away and repeat the same thing, as if they would be burned if they looked at him a few more times.
Zhou Wenyan was extremely pleased with the huge crowd at Wenjiu. Although she had a good relationship with Chu Xiuli, her daughter was her treasure. When she saw someone arriving at the door of her house, she immediately greeted them warmly.
"Uncle Wen, Aunt Chu."
"Xiu Li, Zhen Hua."
"Hurry up and come inside and sit down."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Wen Jiu smiled and handed the flowers in his arms to Liu Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a gorgeous red dress. "My brother has gone to contribute to the country and sent me to arrange a marriage for him. Please forgive him for not being able to do it on the spot. When he comes back, let him apologize to you."
Liu Xiaoxiao was amused by Wen Jiu's kneeling posture to present her with flowers. She quickly took the flowers and pulled her up. "He doesn't need to apologize. I can forgive him now. Hurry up and don't dirty your skirt."
Going on the mission was not his choice. Although she regretted that he missed such a important day for both of them, she did not blame him. She had been mentally prepared for this since she decided to marry him.
