When it was finally over, Zhao Shufang stared blankly ahead with dull eyes, and no one knew what she was looking at.
Even Zhao Shufang herself didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt like her soul had left her body.
Even without checking the time, Zhao Shufang estimated that she had been on the phone for more than two hours. More than two hours! During this time, she had not stopped talking.
Because of the unscrupulous actions of her brother and sister-in-law, Zhao Shufang took on the task of making phone calls to notify people. At the beginning, Zhao Shufang thought it was a trivial matter and no big deal, but it became more and more difficult later, and she became dry-mouthed from talking.
Perhaps Ji Wanqing still had a little compassion in her heart. At this moment, she brought a cup of warm water from the kitchen and said with concern: "Shufang, you must be tired! Come, drink some water quickly to moisten your throat."
Seeing Ji Wanqing's good attitude, Zhao Shufang would not say out loud even if she had any complaints in her heart. After all, she was her niece who grew up under her care, so it was her duty to help with these things.
Taking the cup of water handed to her by Ji Wanqing, Zhao Shufang reluctantly said thank you and then slowly began to drink.
After finishing a glass of water, Zhao Shufang finally felt she had the strength to speak: "Sister Wanqing, when are you going to tell Jiaojiao about the marriage? Let her be mentally prepared."
Ji Wanqing was confused: "Didn't we tell Jiaojiao a long time ago? We all discussed it at Ying'an's house!"
"Huh?" Zhao Shufang said in disbelief, "Why don't I remember this?"
Looking at Zhao Shufang's sincere expression, Ji Wanqing began to doubt whether her memory was wrong, after all, she often forgot things.
So Ji Wanqing decisively looked at Lin Shifu next to her and said, "Did we discuss this matter this afternoon? I remember we did!"
Lin Shifu answered confidently: "Yes!"
Ji Wanqing immediately looked at Zhao Shufang: "See! I told you what I said."
Zhao Shufang tried hard to recall the memory, but couldn't recall it. So she turned her gaze to Ji Tishou and his son: "Did you discuss this matter this afternoon? Why don't I remember discussing this?"
Ji Songqing was helpless: "Mom, we really said it, and we even discussed it together at that time!"
Ji Tishou also nodded to indicate that Ji Songqing was telling the truth.
Seeing so many people must have made Zhao Shufang confused. Could it be that she was really old and had forgotten everything? So many people remembered it, but she didn't.
Thinking this way, Zhao Shufang stopped dwelling on the issue: "As long as Jiaojiao knows."
Lin Xuanjiao, who was being talked about by Zhao Shufang, was now being harassed by a group of children. The children who had always been particularly sensible and obedient in Lin Xuanjiao's eyes were now chattering in front of her with their mouths open.
Lin Xuanjiao had just woken up and still had a slight headache. When she heard so many children opening their mouths, she felt her temples throbbing, making her already painful head even more painful.
Lin Xuanjiao, who was in a bad mood due to a headache, was further provoked by these children, and her face, which always smiled gently at the children, became gloomy.
In fact, no matter how much of a headache Lin Xuanjiao had, she would vent her anger on the children. The main reason was that these children were chattering when they first came. Lin Xuanjiao told them to be quiet several times but no one listened to her, so she was so angry.
I have to say that Lin Xuanjiao's stern face was quite effective. At least the chattering children immediately quieted down and the noisy atmosphere disappeared.
Even though no one continued to speak, Lin Xuanjiao's expression remained grim: "Do you want to listen to what I say?"
Several children nodded repeatedly to show that they were obedient.
Lin Xuanjiao finally relaxed her expression and put on a smile again: "Tell me what you wanted to say just now one by one. If the situation like just now happens again, I will say nothing and let you go."
The children nodded again, and this time they really followed Lin Xuanjiao's words and stopped making noise.
The person asking the questions was still the representative among them - Erdan.
Erdan's face was wrinkled at this moment, and his bright and clear eyes were full of confusion: "Sister Lin, are you really going to marry that man?"
"Which one?" Lin Xuanjiao was a little confused when she heard Erdan say that and couldn't figure out which one he was talking about.
"That's it!" Erdan looked anxious. Actually, he wanted to say that bastard, but then he thought that if Sister Lin was really dating that guy, she would definitely be very angry if he called her that, so he just passed it over briefly.
Seeing Erdan so anxious, Lin Xuanjiao finally understood who he was referring to.
Seeing that Erdan didn't say the name he used last time this time, he knew that this kid still had some ideas, and it was not in vain that he patted his head.
Even though Erdan didn't say what he called her last time, Lin Xuanjiao was still very dissatisfied and corrected Erdan, saying, "You should call him Brother Song. How disrespectful!"
Erdan didn't care about the name at the moment. Seeing Lin Xuanjiao admit it, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide: "This is actually true! I thought my parents were just making it up!"
After hearing this, Lin Xuanjiao roughly understood what was going on. It was possible that when she and Song Ying'an were sending her family out of the village, they were seen by the villagers who were leaving the village for work, and then the news spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and finally the whole village knew about it.
After Erdan said this, he was silent for a long time, and then he said with a complicated expression: "What is it about him that you like?"
Seeing Erdan's constipated expression, Lin Xuanjiao felt both angry and amused. She tapped his forehead with her hand and said, "You're so disrespectful! I told you to call him Brother Song."
Erdan still didn't say anything. He couldn't call him by that name. Everyone in the village called that person that way, and he couldn't change it.
The reason why he didn't call her that name now was because of Lin Xuanjiao, but if he was asked to change his words to call her brother, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Seeing Erdan's expression, Lin Xuanjiao knew he was angry. She didn't force him, but squatted down and looked him in the eye: "Erdan, did that brother do anything bad to you?"
Erdan shook his head. He had never had any contact with that person, so how could that person do anything bad to him?
Lin Xuanjiao continued, "Have you ever seen him bully others?"
Erdan continued to shake his head. He had never seen that person bullying others on his own initiative. On the contrary, he had seen others bullying that person many times.
Lin Xuanjiao continued to counsel, "Why do you think he's a bad person when he's never done anything bad? He hasn't done anything bad to you, and he's never even had any contact with you. Why are you scolding him?"
