Hearing everyone's sincere or insincere advice, the aunties who had originally been interested in Zhiyin and had feelings for her all felt embarrassed.
He felt both extremely ashamed and dissatisfied with the words of these outspoken villagers.
What do you mean their son is not good enough for a soulmate?
Did you have to put it so harshly?
So what if someone is a good friend and knows a lot of people? What's so special about that?
She's still a woman, and in the end, she'll all get married. What difference does it make who she marries? Wouldn't it be better to marry someone from the same village?
That's what I thought, but when I thought about how respectfully those shopkeepers treated Zhiyin before, I gave up on the idea.
Although I felt very regretful, I also knew that Zhiyin was indeed different from ordinary farm girls.
I recall her courageous rebellion against her grandparents, her resolute separation from the family, and her independence with her mother and younger sister—she was incredibly capable of self-reliance.
They immediately realized that Duan Ran, their confidante, was not someone they could easily manipulate. If she were ever unhappy, she would definitely cause chaos and disorder in the house.
Thinking of her previously lawless personality, and how even that annoying old lady from the Zhi family couldn't get away with it, I can only imagine how she had caused trouble for me.
They were immediately discouraged, realizing that they had indeed been indulging in wishful thinking.
"Alright, alright, why are you all so talkative?"
"That's right, we were just joking, how could we take it seriously?"
…
These women suddenly became united in their hatred and started glaring at each other.
The other villagers quickly stopped talking about this topic and started chatting about Zhihua passing the imperial examination and various trivial matters happening in the village.
…
When Zhiyin and the shopkeepers were halfway through their conversation, they heard another round of lively cheers from outside.
Zhiyin quickly took out the two decks of playing cards that he had previously commissioned and taught the shopkeepers how to play Dou Dizhu and Mahjong.
Only then did he go out to check the situation.
"Yinyin, my little sister~"
"Sister Yinyin~"
"Yinyin~"
…
Several cheers and shouts drowned out the various noises and reached the ears of the kindred spirits.
As Zhiyin looked up, a shadow fell, accompanied by a cool, refreshing fragrance.
When she saw the handsome face of the person who had just arrived, her eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Xi!"
"Hmm... Happy housewarming!"
Xing Luxi smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars, and quickly responded, handing the prepared gift to her confidante.
"This is for you, this is for the painter, a reward to wish her success in the imperial examination."
Zhiyin smiled so wide her mouth almost reached her ears, and without any hesitation, she accepted it, saying, "If Huahua knew, she would be very happy."
After Zhiyin finished speaking, Mu Lin, Lele, Aunt Xing, and Aunt Mu all slowly walked up together under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
She quickly went up and happily greeted everyone in turn.
"Hurry, hurry, you've worked hard, you've worked hard..."
As Zhiyin spoke, she led everyone into the private room.
"It's not tiring at all. Yinyin's house is so lively! It's the first time I've ever seen such a lively and warm atmosphere!"
As they walked, Aunt Xing and Aunt Mu couldn't help but laugh and exclaim, "And your new house is really nicely built!"
As he spoke, he looked around and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, Sister Yinyin, and the scenery here is so beautiful! I think I just saw a little tiger!"
Lele, like a little cannonball, skillfully jumped into Zhiyin's arms with a smile, her two little tufts on her head bobbing back and forth, looking so cute.
"Really? That's true! Lele, would you like to play with the little tigers? I'll have them come find you, okay?"
Zhiyin gently patted Lele's head and said softly.
Wow!! Really?!
Lele's eyes instantly lit up, filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Even Mu Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, "Really?"
"By the way, Yinyin, are you drawing?"
Aunt Xing and Aunt Mu couldn't help but exchange a glance and smile at each other, thinking that it was probably just a kitten being amused by a kindred spirit.
They simply couldn't imagine that the domineering tiger would fight with humans.
"Of course,"
Zhiyin chuckled softly, then looked at Mulin, "Huahua is playing with them too, I'll call them over!"
Having said that, and realizing that it was almost time and no more guests should be arriving, he quickly signaled to Yao Yulin that they could begin preparing for the banquet.
At the same time, ask Xiaoya to help call Zhihua to bring Mengmeng and Yuanyuan to play with them.
"Okay, okay!!"
Yao Yulin and Xiaoya immediately sprang into action.
"Oh... Manager Wang, Manager Baili, and Scarface, you're here too?"
When they saw Manager Wang and Hua Wumei's group on the way, Aunt Xing and Aunt Mu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Oh, isn't this Madam Xing and Madam Mu? What a coincidence to see you here!"
The shopkeepers, who were playing cards and mahjong, all turned to look.
When he saw Xing Luxi and Mu Lin's group, he was taken aback, but he still quickly stood up and shook hands with them respectfully.
Seeing that Zhiyin was holding the Xing family's little princess affectionately in her arms, and that Aunt Mu was holding her left arm affectionately, the look in her eyes instantly became meaningful, and her evaluation of Zhiyin was even higher.
"I didn't expect Manager Zhi to be acquainted with you all..."
Zhiyin had only known that Xing Luxi and Mu Lin's family was very wealthy, but she had never looked into the specifics.
