Chapter 186: Chapter 144: Changing Mind/Bluffing (Two in One)_3

Back in the day, if Chuxia set her mind on something, nobody could ever persuade her otherwise. Just now, the couple seemed resolute in advising their daughter, but in reality, they were extremely worried.

If Chuxia insisted on having her way, they truly wouldn’t dare to go against her. The thought of their daughter running away from home again... just thinking about it scared them to death.

With both parties’ concerns addressed, the atmosphere in the room immediately lightened.

Finally having a chance to be alone with her daughter, Zhao Yulan chattered on about the family and then began to relate all sorts of news from the village, such as who had a new baby, who got married, and who’s daughters had been married off... and even down to whose family got a few new chicks. Lin Baohe sat quietly listening, occasionally chiming in with a comment.

As the conversation progressed, Zhao Yulan suddenly smacked her forehead and said, "Oh, that’s right, Sister-in-law Yulan’s sister just married into our village."

"Married into which family?" Chuxia looked surprised. She had only been gone for half a month, and so much had happened. Tsk tsk...

"She married Chen Guangxin, Dagang’s Grandpa’s second grandson."

"Is it the one with the leg problem?"

"Yes."

"Who arranged the marriage?"

"Of course, it was Eldest Uncle’s Wife. Dagang’s Grandpa didn’t approve, but Guangxin’s mother was willing. Guangxin’s disability meant that girls from good families were reluctant to marry him, but it was rare to find someone like Meifeng, who is good-looking and skilled at work. Guangxin’s mom is over the moon; they are getting married at the end of the month."

"So soon?" Chuxia was astonished. The speed at which things had progressed was astonishing. Just a while ago, Liu Meiqing was still thinking of marrying her sister into the head of the commune’s family. How had things changed so fast... to lower the standards by so much?

"Mom, do you think this is right?"

"It’s not right," Lin Baohe answered, "Dagang’s Grandpa also finds it inappropriate, but Guangxin’s mom is set on finding him a bride. Nobody can change her mind, and Guangxin’s dad can’t make decisions for her."

"Does Third Brother Chen agree too?"

Zhao Yulan nodded: "For sure, Third Brother now struts around like he’s walking on air."

"This matter..." Chuxia tapped her forehead, then laughed, "Never mind, we shouldn’t worry about them. It’s none of our business. Dad, Mom, once my allowance for this month comes in, I’ll send it straight back. Buy whatever you two fancy, but don’t you dare not spend it."

"Okay," Zhao Yulan laughed and nodded, "To be able to spend my daughter’s money, I’ve finally made it, haha..."

"Dad’s made it too!" Lin Baohe added, "Chuxia is a girl, but she’s stronger than any boy. Dad adores his daughter!"

The family was in the midst of a joyful conversation when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Chuxia quickly went to answer it, chuckling, "Eldest maternal aunt and uncle have learned some manners now, hehe..." But when she opened the door, standing there were Luo Hongqi and Zhao Qiliang.

"On the way back, I happened to run into Hongqi. He knew my little aunt and uncle had come and wanted to visit," Zhao Qiliang said with a smile.

Luo Hongqi glanced at Chuxia’s face before quickly looking away, then shouted in his thick voice, "Uncle, Auntie, I’ve come to see you."

"Hongqi, come in," Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe hurriedly greeted him. After inviting him into the room, Zhao Yulan looked him up and down and said, "Hongqi, you’ve become even sturdier since you were at home."

"I’ve been eating well here, and with everyday training, I’ve gotten stronger," Luo Hongqi said with a simple smile, "Uncle, Auntie, you must be tired from your journey, right?"

Chuxia quietly curled her lips, wow, he’s even learned to greet people politely, quite the improvement!

"It’s alright, there’s nothing tiring about riding in a car." While speaking, Zhao Yulan began pulling out scallion pancakes from a cloth bag, "Hongqi, we don’t have much to offer you, but these are pancakes Granny made when we were coming here. I know you’re eating well here and won’t fancy this, but it has the taste of home. Have one."

"Mm," Luo Hongqi grunted in response, took a pancake, and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes... they seemed a bit red.

Chuxia thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she quickly rubbed them before looking again. Hmm, not only did they look a bit red now, but his eyes also seemed to have a hint of moisture in them.

Moved to tears by a scallion pancake?

"Luo Hongqi, if you really miss it, I can ask my mom to give you two more," Chuxia offered.

Luo Hongqi glared at Chuxia: "I’m missing my mom. This pancake tastes just like the ones my mom makes."
