"We're all born of the same mother, but Mother is so biased! She always thinks of the fifth son when it comes to all the good things, what about me?!"
Am I destined to marry a village girl and live the rest of my life as a poor, unrespecting farmer?!
After Xu Fengxian coaxed He Laowu into agreeing, he emerged from the corner with a gloomy face.
Why should the fifth brother go? He could do it too!
He's clearly better looking than the fifth brother, he just doesn't believe it. Does he think he can't snatch Zhu Qinghao away from the fifth brother?
After making up his mind, He Laosi went back to his house and took out his most prized outfit, preparing to wear it the next time he saw Zhu Qinghao.
He Laowu, on the other hand, was originally somewhat unwilling. It wasn't that he looked down on Zhu Qinghao or Si Tian, but rather that he was too self-aware and felt that he was not good enough.
She's a city girl, she has no worries about food and drink, she's pretty, and she's well-connected in the team. Why would she fall for a country guy who has nothing?
But Xu Fengxian was good at coaxing him, telling him all sorts of benefits of marrying Zhu Qinghao, which genuinely moved him.
So he dressed up in his finest clothes that day, but before he could get close to Zhu Qinghao, he discovered that his fourth brother had also arrived.
Perhaps because they are close in age, they have loved to compete for many things since they were young.
Originally, He Laowu was quite uneasy, but after meeting his fourth brother, the two started competing with each other, each trying to curry favor with Zhu Qinghao, and neither was able to gain the upper hand.
In the end, if Zhu Qinghao hadn't kept refusing, and if several aunts hadn't chimed in, they might not have left.
The aunties probably guessed what the two of them were planning, and they were all talking about Sheng Yi, saying how well he and Zhu Qinghao were matched, and that the engagement between the two families was a wonderful thing...
Anyway, they tried everything to dispel the two brothers' unrealistic ideas about Zhu Qinghao, but the two brothers were so busy fighting that they didn't listen to what their aunts were saying, so they didn't hear a word.
The aunties, seeing that the two of them were unmoved, assumed that they had guessed wrong. Some even speculated that their partner might be Si Tian, but they had mistaken her for someone else.
Fortunately, the two brothers weren't exactly capable people to begin with, and they were so exhausted after working for a short time that they both had to go to the bathroom one after the other.
After the two brothers left, the aunties stayed behind with the two girls, especially Si Tian, giving them instructions:
"Girls, you should stay away from those two brothers. It's not that I'm being mean, but they really aren't good matchmakers!"
"Yes, let's not just talk about those two. Their mother is no easy person to deal with. A family like that is a long way off!"
Si Tian also knew that since Zhu Qinghao had a fiancé, the aunts' words were mostly directed at her.
She had no feelings for either of them, and even felt a little disgusted by them, and never imagined she would find a husband in the countryside. So when Chen said that, she obediently nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, aunties. I don't like either of them, and I'm not thinking about getting married so early. I'm still young, let's talk about it later!"
The aunties seemed to agree with what she said earlier, nodding in approval. However, as she listened, she realized she was still too young and began to disagree.
"Hey—what are you saying? You're not exactly a child anymore."
"It's alright, Auntie will keep an eye out for you from now on. I'll introduce you to good options if I find any. We can't let our little sweetheart suffer!"
"No, no, no, there's really no need, aunties..."
