"Sister Xiaoqin, what are you doing here so early?" Boyi asked politely.
"Boyi! I'm waiting for you. If everything goes well, I'll be able to invite you to the Zhang family's wedding in a few days." Zhang Xiaoqin didn't seem to have any objections to Boyi, speaking softly and smiling. Not only did she have no objections, but she seemed to have a favorable impression of Boyi. Her hand was already on Boyi's, her fingers roaming back and forth on the back of his hand.
"Wedding banquet?"
Boyi was very confused. Zhang's two children had already started their own families, and Ji Zong was no longer around, so how could there be any wedding banquet to attend?
Qianqian was originally in a good mood because of what happened last night, but when she ran into this spoiler, her good mood was instantly ruined. She really couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Boyi's arm to try to pull him away, "Boyi, stop dawdling, hurry up, or you'll be late for work."
Zhang Xiaoqin wasn't going to let Qianqian get away with it so easily; she loved seeing Qianqian get angry. She grabbed Boyi's arm and whispered in his ear, "Ji Zong is your good brother. He's choosing a man for his wife, and you, as a good brother, should be the one to screen him."
Shumei, it turned out to be Shumei. They were going to choose a partner for Shumei. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, causing Jizong to tremble involuntarily.
"You go first! I'm not feeling well and won't be going to the factory today."
"What's wrong with you? Do you want to go to the hospital? Come on, I'll go with you to the hospital."
"No, go away."
Obviously, Boyi was a little upset by Zhang Xiaoqin's words. He shook off Qianqian's hand fiercely and roared at Qianqian loudly.
Boyi had never been so angry before, and Qianqian was a little unprepared. She wanted to say something, but in the end she stopped herself.
Hearing Boyi say this and seeing Qianqian's unpleasant expression, Zhang Xiaoqin let out a smug smile. Thinking she had won again, she felt a sense of accomplishment. "Brother Boyi! You're so arrogant! Someone's offering him to you, and you're still unwilling to accept him?"
"Sister Xiaoqin, don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary friends."
"Hmph! Haha! Okay, okay, we are just ordinary friends. Can ordinary friends sleep together?" Zhang Xiaoqin glanced at Qianqian with disdain. She deliberately lowered the decibel level when she said the last word "sleeping together", as if she was talking to herself, but Boyi and Qianqian could still hear what she said.
Qianqian was furious, but she didn't want to start a fight with this annoying woman in front of Boyi. After a moment's pause, she glared at Zhang Xiaoqin, then rode her bicycle dejectedly, slowly heading towards the town.
Seeing Qianqian leave, Boyi quickly asked Zhang Xiaoqin, "Sister Xiaoqin, is this what Shumei thought?"
"Haha! Marriage is always a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. How can you bring it up on your own? Aren't you kidding me?"
Zhang Xiaoqin chuckled, and there seemed to be a strong sense of irony in her laughter.
"Is that what her family meant?"
Boyi was now filled with regret. Why had he been so indecisive, letting someone else take the lead? Was he planning to miss out on Shumei again? He wanted to slap himself twice.
"She is from our Zhang family. At this time, it is not the turn of the Kang family to make the decision. If we want to adopt a half-son for our Zhang family, it must be decided by my father and mother."
Zhang Xiaoqin spoke confidently, and in front of Boyi, she also did not forget to declare that the sovereignty of Shumei's marriage was in the hands of her family. This indirectly meant that without the Zhang family's order, Shumei could not escape their control.
Boyi wanted to ask more questions, but then Zhang Xiaoqin saw Wang Changxing coming towards her.
A man in his early thirties, with a slight limp on his left foot, limped towards Zhang Xiaoqin. Perhaps due to his leg problems, he saw her from a distance but didn't come up to her for a long time.
Zhang Xiaoqin was so impatient that she couldn't wait any longer and quickly walked up to meet him.
"Wang Changxing, right?"
"Hey! Who are you?"
"I'm Shumei, the older sister of Kang Shumei's late husband, the person you're going to meet today. It was me who went to your house last time and arranged this marriage for your mother."
"Oh! Hello, big sister. I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble, no trouble. If you like my Shumei, we will be a family in the future. What's the trouble? Let's go! I'll take you to my house."
After a brief greeting, Wang Changxing followed Zhang Xiaoqin into the village.
Boyi was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had no mood to go to the brick factory. He pushed his bicycle and followed Zhang Xiaoqin and the others back to the village. After returning home, he changed into some decent clothes and hurried to Shumei's house.
