There seemed to be a breeze outside the window, blowing on the curtains and making a sound.
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Fangyun smiled and said, "I understand."
But that smile sounded forced.
"Yun'er."
"Yun'er."
Su Nan and Liu Yu spoke at the same time with concern. At the same time, they knew in their hearts that this matter could only be solved by Xiao Fangyun herself, and no one else could interfere.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the yard, followed by the loud voice of an old lady from the village.
"Is anyone home?"
Xiao Fangyun took a deep breath, opened the door and stood outside, saying, "Who is it?"
Shen's mother was standing outside the yard looking at the brick house. It was quite clean and the conditions were pretty good for a country house. But unfortunately, no matter how good it was, it was still the countryside and couldn't compare to the city.
"Sister, come in." The aunt who led the way stood in the yard of the Xiao family and greeted Shen's mother warmly.
Mother Shen waved her hand, and the pair of leather shoes refused to step over the threshold of the yard.
Country people just don't know the rules and manners. How could they enter the house without the host's consent?
"Girl Fang Yun, you are at home."
The next second, the door was opened, and Mother Shen looked at the person inside, and her expression was stunned.
Is this the country woman that Chen Mu was so desperate to marry? She didn't understand it at first, but now she understands it a little bit.
Standing at the door was a woman in a black-grey coat. Her black hair was shiny and cascading down like a waterfall. Her fair and tender skin exuded a jade-like luster. She had curved thin eyebrows and bright and clear eyes.
With his back straight, he looks energetic and confident with a touch of purity.
She had never seen such a pretty girl, not only in the countryside but also in the city.
But so what.
Mother Shen looked at the dozen or so pairs of curious eyes around her, coughed lightly, and said to Xiao Fangyun in a deep voice: "Hey, I have something to say to you alone, is it convenient?"
Xiao Fangyun naturally knew what Mother Shen meant, nodded, and said to the aunt in the yard: "Auntie, come and play next time, I may not have time to greet you now."
The old lady was also an understanding person. She nodded and then automatically left.
"Auntie, come in."
Hearing this, Shen's mother stepped in. The driver standing behind her quickly closed the door, blocking the curious sight of the crowd of onlookers.
"Wow, is He Guojia really that lucky? People driving cars are showing up to his door?"
"Yes, they are bound to be very successful."
"I don't think so. Didn't I see that the woman was looking for Xiao Fangyun? Did she get into trouble outside and she came to her house?"
"Bullshit, Fang Yun has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, how could she possibly cause trouble?"
"That's hard to say."
"What are you talking about?" Luo Qiongzhi had just come out of her old sister's house. When she turned the corner, she saw a lot of people gathered at her door, so she hurried over to check the situation.
As soon as I got closer, I heard them saying bad things about Xiao Fangyun.
"Hey, Fang Yun's grandmother, you don't know yet, but a car came to our village today, and the people inside only asked for your home address."
"They just kicked us all out, leaving only Fang Yun inside."
"He seemed to be saying that he wanted to talk to Fang Yun alone."
Everyone talked about it one by one and finally figured out the whole thing. Luo Qiongzhi rolled her eyes and had no idea at all. Who could the other party be?
"I'll go back and take a look first. You guys shouldn't stay here anymore. What are you doing if there's nothing to do at home? Don't you have to go to work later?"
When Luo Qiongzhi was young, she was a notorious fierce person in the village. Everyone was a little afraid of her and didn't dare to stay for long. Besides, there were indeed some matters at home, so they all dispersed.
Only a few neighbors who lived nearby were hiding in the corners and looking in curiosity.
Luo Qiongzhi hurried to the door of her house, but was stopped by a strange man.
"This is my home. Do I need your permission to come in? Get out of here." Luo Qiongzhi pushed the man's hand away and rushed in angrily.
Such a loud noise naturally attracted the attention of the people in the yard, and there was silence for a while.
Luo Qiongzhi looked around and saw her granddaughter lying in the arms of Su Nan and Liu Yu, crying breathlessly. Opposite them stood a middle-aged woman who looked dignified and decent.
But why would they bully her sweet granddaughter?
"Where did you come from? You come to my house to bully the kids? How can you make trouble in my house?"
Luo Qiongzhi put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving with anger. She caught a glimpse of the big broom at her feet and grabbed it. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, as if she would pounce on someone and tear them apart in the next second.
"I guess you are Miss Xiao's grandmother. I have already told your granddaughter everything I need to say. Now I'm leaving." Mother Shen looked down upon Luo Qiongzhi's rude behavior. She shook her head and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Auntie, I understand what you mean. Please let Chenmu talk to me himself." Xiao Fangyun stood up straight, wiped the tears from her face, and said in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Shen's mother frowned and turned around again. If Shen Mu would say these words, would she be able to make this trip by herself?
"It doesn't matter what Chen Mu thinks. What matters is that our whole family won't allow you to enter the Shen family."
Luo Qiongzhi's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "Yun'er, what's going on?"
Seeing that Luo Qiongzhi looked like she didn't know the truth, Shen's mother curled her lips and said disdainfully: "It turns out that they are dating and all the elders don't know."
"Dating?" Luo Qiongzhi dropped the broom in her hand and looked at Xiao Fangyun in disbelief.
When she saw Xiao Fangyun's evasive look, Luo Qiongzhi knew that what the short-haired woman said was true. Thinking about what she said, she immediately understood the whole story.
While feeling sorry for Xiao Fangyun, I also felt a little angry that something was hidden from me.
"You don't have to insult me with these words. We're not even close to begging for marriage. Do you think anyone would want to marry your son? Bah! I'm telling you, if you do something like this today, don't even think about us opening the door for you next time you come."
Luo Qiongzhi pulled Xiao Fangyun behind her and started cursing at Shen's mother.
"Oh, that's the worst." Mother Shen sneered, feeling that the other party was just being stubborn.
"Get out of here now, you are not welcome in our house." Luo Qiongzhi picked up the broom and swept it directly to the feet of Shen's mother as if she was sweeping something dirty.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The driver came forward and cursed.
"We're going." Mother Shen stopped the driver, then straightened the collar of her coat, looked at Xiao Fangyun deeply, and turned to leave.
The Xiao family courtyard finally returned to its former tranquility.
Luo Qiongzhi threw the broom in her hand to the ground, making a loud "bang".
The next second, Xiao Fangyun knelt down, lowered her head, and secretly wiped away her tears.
Seeing this, Su Nan's legs went weak and he was almost shocked by Luo Qiongzhi's aura and fell to his knees.
Wow, this old lady has two faces.
