"Nothing much, just some local snacks."
The old man carrying firewood asked, "You're carrying such small bundles, have you bought everything you needed?"
Ye Xuan was a little confused, but nodded and said, "I bought it." He continued walking forward.
A young man passing by, herding pigs, said: "Erxuan is going to the capital. I'm so envious."
Ye Xuan was completely confused, but before he could ask, the young man drove the pigs away.
When is he going to the capital?
How could he not know that himself?
Moreover, these questions seem increasingly off.
Just then, Granny Zhao came walking towards him on her bound feet. "Xuan'er, where have you come from? Is this your uncle's house?"
Ye Xuan was taken aback: "Grandma Zhao, what did you say?"
Granny Zhao said, "How can someone so young be hard of hearing? Tell me, did you just come back from your uncle's house?"
Ye Xuan was furious upon hearing this: "What uncle? I don't have an uncle!"
I thought she was referring to Li Zhiyuan.
"What do you mean, no?" Granny Zhao clicked her tongue twice. "Didn't they just get engaged the other day? They even exchanged betrothal gifts!"
Ye Xuan: "What did you say? Wait, what engagement gifts? Who are you talking about...?"
"Oh my, the dowry is so much that it can't even fit in Cai Ping's house!" Granny Zhao said to herself.
Ye Xuan: "..." After a long silence, he said, "You mean... my aunt is engaged? And has even accepted the betrothal gifts?"
"Or what?"
Ye Xuan was stunned: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
How could they be engaged and have a betrothal ceremony so suddenly, in just a few days? What kind of nonsense is this? Where did these people come from?
How could his wonderful sister-in-law suddenly marry someone? Did she encounter a con artist?
Ye Xuan ran home like a madman. In no time, he burst through the second gate.
Mrs. Du was hanging out the laundry when she saw him and smiled, "Oh my, my Xuan'er is finally back! If he hadn't come back, I would have sent someone to look for him!"
"Mother... I heard... my aunt is engaged?" Ye Xuan ran up to her breathlessly.
Madam Du nodded with a smile: "Yes! They even went through the betrothal ceremony. And those betrothal gifts, wow, they were so plentiful, so..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Is this about betrothal gifts? I've only been gone a few days!"
Five days!
"Yes, in just five days, my aunt got engaged, received betrothal gifts, and is preparing to get married? This...this..."
"What?! Anyway, that's how it is. We've even set a wedding date. We'll have two parties in total, hahaha!"
Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie...you haven't been scammed, have you?"
"Go away, you might get fooled, but she won't!"
Ye Xuan finally regained his senses from the shock of being struck by lightning. Yes, his aunt was much smarter than him; how could she be fooled!
That's true!
Although it was a little difficult to adapt at first, my aunt must have her reasons for being willing to do so.
Ye Xuan then asked, "Who is this man? Have we seen him before?"
Du rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't he your husband?"
"My husband? Which husband?"
"Mr. Shen! From now on, Mr. Shen will be your uncle!"
Ye Xuan: "......"
