Ji Tishou had a dazed look on his face, muttering, "How could it happen so quickly? I was thinking of introducing someone to her!"
Ji Songqing frowned beside him, his face serious: "She doesn't want to marry that kid from the Shi family, does she?"
Ji Tishou and Zhao Shufang were alarmed when they heard this. Honestly, it was possible! Although Lin Xuanjiao had previously told them that there was no possibility for her and Shi Chengyu, this was still possible! After all, they had all witnessed Lin Xuanjiao's infatuation with Shi Chengyu.
This time, Lin Shifu denied it quickly. Before the two could ask any more questions, he spoke out first: "No! It's definitely not that guy. Jiaojiao said she won't be with that guy, she won't be with him."
After hearing Lin Shifu's denial, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as they were about to relax, their hearts immediately tensed up when they realized what was happening.
"So Jiaojiao is going to marry someone she's only known for a few days?"
Ji Songqing was the first to speak. After seeing his aunt and uncle nod, he always felt that there was a surge of anger in his body, making him want to find someone to fight.
Why is his sister so troublesome? Before, I thought she was sensible for breaking off the engagement with the boy from the Shi family, but now it seems that she is acting even more erratically. At least she didn't clamor to get married before!
Zhao Shufang sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end, and then she said, "Sister Wanqing, it's getting late now. We have to go to Jiaojiao tomorrow. Now you should get some rest! You must have worked hard all the way here."
Ji Wanqing did not refuse. They were both quite old and could hardly bear the fatigue of the long journey.
Ji Wanqing stood up from her seat, a gentle smile on her face: "Shufang, let's go clean the house together!"
Zhao Shufang waved her hand and said with the same smile, "Why do I need your help? The room Jiaojiao slept in before is still clean! You don't need to clean it up, just sleep there. Even the sheets have been washed. You can go to bed right after you wash up."
After hearing what Zhao Shufang said, Ji Wanqing stopped moving. "Then let's go wash up first. You should go back and rest early! It's getting late."
At night, Zhao Shufang and Ji Tishou lay back on bed but couldn't fall asleep.
Zhao Shufang tossed and turned in bed, still muttering to Ji Ti: "Why is Jiaojiao so worrying? It's only been a short time since the engagement was broken off and she's already getting married."
Ji Tishou also had a worried look on his face: "We'll have to see Jiaojiao tomorrow to find out. Otherwise, we won't be able to figure it out even if we rack our brains here."
Zhao Shufang sighed deeply: "This is the only way!"
Everyone at the Ji family didn't sleep well that night.
Similarly, Lin Xuanjiao still couldn't sleep at night in the Youth League Home. Unable to sleep, Lin Xuanjiao went to the backyard to knit a sweater again. This time, no one else dared to climb over the wall.
When she could no longer open her eyes, Lin Xuanjiao put away her things and lay back down on the bed.
Lin Xuanjiao was lying in bed, yawning but unable to fall asleep. After tossing and turning for several times, Lin Xuanjiao finally accepted the fact that she could not sleep peacefully.
Oh! Why is life so difficult? Lin Xuanjiao has new thoughts every day here.
When the rooster finally crowed, Lin Xuanjiao knew that she had finally made it through the night.
After everyone in the Youth League Home had packed up and left, Lin Xuanjiao finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Xuanjiao, who was immersed in sleep, had no idea that her parents, whom she had been looking forward to coming every day, had already arrived in the village.
"Shuhua, I told you to go back, but you still came with me? Don't you still have work to do?"
Ji Wanqing sat in the car with a bit of blame on her face: "Besides, don't you still have to go to work today? You can't let Jiaojiao's matter delay your work."
"Alright! Sister Wanqing, please stop nagging. You've been nagging all the way. We're already in the car and there's no way we can go back."
Zhao Shufang took Ji Wanqing's hand and tried to get her sister to shut up her nagging mouth that she hadn't heard during the whole journey.
That's all! Even if Ji Wanqing wanted to say more, she couldn't say anything. She didn't mean to blame Zhao Shufang's family. She just felt that she had caused them too much trouble this time and felt a little sorry.
The expression on Ji Wanqing's face was easy to see, not to mention someone like Ji Tishou who had been dealing with officialdom for many years. Reading people's words and expressions was a necessary skill.
So as soon as Ji Tishou saw the expression on Ji Wanqing's face, he knew what his elder sister was thinking. She simply felt that her arrival had caused too much trouble to their family. But what was so troublesome about that? They did these things willingly. It would be troublesome if they had to continue doing things even if they didn't want to.
"Sister, please calm down. We can see it even if you don't say it. Don't think it's troublesome. We are all family. What's there to trouble about? Or do you not consider us family?"
Ji Wanqing quickly shook her head at Ji Tishou's words and hurriedly explained, "No, why wouldn't I consider you family? I just think today's incident is a bit too much trouble for you. Besides, you still have to go to work."
Ji Songqing, who was driving, laughed dumbly: "Aunt, you are so worried about us going to work! I happen to be on vacation today. Even if I didn't come to Jiaojiao's place, I would still stay in town."
Ji Tishou followed up on Ji Songqing's words and said, "What a coincidence! Today is my day off too."
"I'm not taking a day off today, but it's easy to ask for leave at work. Today is a big day and you all are going. How can I, as Jiaojiao's aunt, not go?"
Ji Wanqing was speechless after hearing what these people said. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
Although the three siblings have had a very good relationship since they were young, their close relationship has become increasingly distant since they each started their own families. Even though they usually contact each other by phone, it is very difficult for them to get together.
Now that they were willing to put down what they were doing just to see their future son-in-law for the sake of their daughter, Ji Wanqing was really touched.
Ji Songqing drove his car to the entrance of the village and found that he could not drive in. The road inside was too narrow and his small car could not pass through at all.
After trying several times but still unable to get through, Ji Songqing could only sigh helplessly: "Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle, we have no choice but to get out of the car and walk. Our car can't even drive into the road inside."
