"I know that he did this for me, so I didn't come back and stayed there with him." Xiaoyu said happily.
Yang Ruoqing took a breath.
In the past two years, I have been busy expanding my business to the north, and I am getting married and having children.
I rarely have time to pay attention to Xiao Yu's affairs. I didn't expect so many things to happen between her and Ning Su.
"What happened next? Go on," Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiao Yu nodded and continued: "During the Qingming Festival last year, several letters were sent to his home urging him to go back and get married."
"He went back, but he didn't consummate the marriage. He had a showdown with his family and talked about me..."
Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Xiaoyu's face.
"His parents look down on me. The reason is just as you talked to me at the beginning, Qing'er, because I don't belong to the right family."
"Brother Ning has been dealing with his family, resisting the marriage, and returned to the southern military camp."
"Later, his family compromised and agreed to let me in, but only as a concubine."
"A few days before you, Tang Yazi and the baby went to Xiushui Town last year, Brother Ning went to see me and told me the good news that he thought was good news."
"But Qing'er, I don't want to be his concubine."
"If I hadn't become such a good sister with Qing'er, if I hadn't heard those refreshing words from you, if I hadn't seen you and Tang Yazi being so loving, maybe I would have happily become Brother Ning's concubine. "
"But now, I just want one person for the rest of my life."
"I can't bear to compete with other women for a husband."
"All I have to think about is him sleeping next to me tonight, and tomorrow night, lying in another woman's bed."
"What he did and said to me in bed, he could repeat it to another woman. It felt like my heart had been stabbed hard."
When Xiaoyu said this, she fell silent.
Yang Ruoqing also fell silent.
After a while, Yang Ruoqing asked again: "What about this time? What is Brother Ning's plan?"
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Ning said that this time we go back is a formal showdown."
"He will try every means to convince his parents. He asked me to come back and wait for the good news."
"At the latest, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he will send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage!" Xiaoyu said.
"Wow, is he so sure? Can it be done by then?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Although this is a bit embarrassing, it still needs to be said.
Xiaoyu said: "I believe in him, he will definitely come!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "What about your parents? Do you want to talk about this?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to say anything until the Ning family's matchmaker comes to visit. I want to give my parents a surprise then."
"They have been worried that I won't be able to marry into a good family in the future. I want to make them happy." Xiaoyu said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips.
"Of course your idea is a good one, so let's not talk about it for now," she said.
What if, what if Ning Su fails, not only Xiaoyu will be disappointed, but Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua will also be disappointed.
It’s okay not to talk about it yet, but——
"You can keep it a secret for now about the Ning family and wait until things are settled." Yang Ruoqing continued.
"However, Brother Baozi and Brother Yuzhu, you'd better give a clear answer as soon as possible."
"The two of them have been putting off getting married in order to wait for your reply. You can't delay them." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mentioning this, Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of guilt.
"Brother Baozi and Brother Yuzhu, I, Xiaoyu, can only be indebted to them for the rest of my life. I will tell my mother when I get back today and let her refuse." Xiaoyu said.
"Yeah." Yang Ruoqing nodded.
I felt sorry for Baozi and Yuzhu in my heart.
Yuzhu was fine. While waiting for news from Xiaoyu, he also went to ask a matchmaker elsewhere.
Brother Baozi was stubborn and had been waiting for Xiaoyu's reply.
Being rejected this time, the young man's heart was probably hurt.
However, emotional matters can be so cruel sometimes.
There is no first come, first served, only the one who is destined.
Everything depends on fate, marriage is destined by God.
"Qing'er, am I being a bit selfish like this? While I hurt Brother Baozi and Brother Yuzhu, I also pushed Brother Ning too hard?" Xiaoyu's voice brought Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
"Nothing in this world is easy!" she said.
"Everything must be tested. If you don't go through nine or eighty-one difficulties, you won't be able to obtain the true scriptures and achieve the right results!"
Xiao Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, "That makes sense."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Not to mention others, just take what happened to my sister Lan'er. She shed several layers of skin before she finally found Brother Ahao."
"So, Xiao Yu, you have to believe that everything has been arranged by God. Everything depends on you and everything comes to pass. Don't think too much. Now, it's rare to come back for the New Year. Be happy and spend more time with your parents."
Xiao Yu nodded, "Ya Xue also told me a little bit about your sister Lan'er earlier. To be honest, I feel that this Ah Hao is really her destiny."
"If you, Sister Lan'er, can find Brother Ahao as a husband, Sister Yaxue and Narisong can live a down-to-earth life in the future."
"Otherwise, seeing you, Sister Lan'er, being so lonely, Sister Yaxue and Narisong also felt strange in their hearts. Now it's better, and everyone is happy!" Xiao Yu said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and agreed.
"Hello everyone, it's really good. Haha, that's it for now. Let's wait for your good news together!" she said.
Xiao Yu blushed again, "When the time comes... I will definitely ask you to be the bridesmaid."
"That's silly. I've already given birth to a baby. Why should I be a bridesmaid? You have to find those unmarried young girls to be bridesmaids." Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiaoyu also smiled, and the atmosphere in the room was very good.
By the time Xiao Yaxue returned to the main room with the refreshed baby Luo, who had made a baby and drank some water, Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yu were already preparing to go to the yard of Yang Huazhong's house next door.
"Come on, let's go there together. My sister-in-law and the others are probably here." Yang Ruoqing greeted.
The three of them came to the yard of Yang Huazhong's house together.
At this time, many people had gathered in the main room of Yang Huazhong's house.
This noon is the day when Lao Wang's family comes to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Yangtou and Mr. Tan.
Dabai and Xiaohei are all here.
When Yang Ruoqing and others entered the house, Dabai stood in the fire barrel where Tan was, holding a piece of snack in both hands and eating.
She was wearing new clothes for the New Year, and her face was fair and white.
Because the tiger hat she wore on her head was a festive red, her whole little face looked like a delicate little girl with red lips and white teeth.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but come over to tease him a few times, and gently touched Dabai's little face.
"Call sister!" she said.
Dabai glanced at Yang Ruoqing timidly, and then shrank towards Tan.
Tan supported Dabai, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
"What are you afraid of, silly Dabai? My sister is jealous of you!" said Tan.
However, Dabai was still timid.
Yang Ruoqing pretended to be a monkey to Dabai. Dabai was so happy that he immediately giggled and relaxed his guard against Yang Ruoqing.
