Shixi Town Market, Qi Lei hadn’t seen Sheng Anlai for a few days at the market, and unable to hold back his concern, he bought so things and went straight to the village. Just as he entered the village, Xu Laodi was sitting at the entrance of the small store munching on sunflower seeds. She stood up abruptly when she saw him.
"What... what are you doing here?" The last ti Qi Lei almost paralyzed her brother with a beating, the usually arrogant and domineering Xu Laodi couldn’t help but be scared every ti she saw Qi Lei.
In the past, she could bully Qi i however she liked, but now that Qi i was back, she hated her to death but didn’t dare to be disrespectful with her words, fearing that her brother would co looking for trouble again.
Qi Lei looked disgusted and passed by without acknowledging her. Xu Laodi was ignored on the spot, fuming with anger and wanting to rush forward, but was pulled back by the store owner.
"Are you crazy? As if offending him wasn’t enough."
"I just can’t swallow this anger!"
"It’s your family who’s in the wrong, and you still can’t swallow it." The store owner rolled his eyes at Xu Laodi, "If your brother hadn’t gotten involved with Mrs. Zhang, would Qi i’s family have co to beat him up? If after you get married, your husband fools around, would you be willing?"
"Of course not."
"There you go then."
"Hmph! My brother getting involved with Mrs. Zhang proves Qi i is useless herself, how can you bla my brother?"
"You... your whole family is shaless." In the past, no one dared to offend her because her brother was the village chief. Whatever Xu Laodi said, people humored her. Now that the village chief had stepped down, no one wanted to give her face.
"You’re the shaless one, your whole family is shaless."
Qi Lei overheard the faint chatter behind him, clenching his fists in rage. He really didn’t understand what his sister was thinking, this family was rotten to the core, yet she chose to co back.
All because rural people can’t divorce, she can’t disgrace the Qi Family, can’t let her son down, it’s simply foolish. He is now earning money through business, it’s not like he can’t support her. Why co back to such a family?
In the end, his sister is still trapped by old feudal thoughts. Luckily, An’an isn’t like that; An’an is smart, elegant, optimistic, and cheerful. She is still young now, but in a few years she’ll definitely be more outstanding.
Qi Lei felt an itch in his heart. He’s long wanted to marry An’an. But since she is young and hasn’t developed feelings yet, he’s afraid of scaring her. He plans to wait a few more years, earn more money, and then propose formally. But this ti, after not seeing her for a few days in town, he found he couldn’t hold back.
Even knowing that his impulsive visit would surely cause gossip, he still ca. At worst, he’d propose first, get engaged, and marry in a few years.
Also to avoid her mother marrying her off to so fool or simpleton.
Qi Lei arrived at Sheng’s third family, the door wasn’t closed, and Shen Luhua was in the yard rinsing rice. Seeing him co in, she stopped what she was doing.
"Hello, Auntie." Qi Lei greeted politely.
Shen Luhua straightened her back, put down the rice basket in her hands, and looked at him coldly, "Are you looking for Sheng An?"
"Yes!" Qi Lei nodded honestly, "I haven’t seen her at the market for a few days, so I ca by to check."
"Did you really just happen to co by?"
Qi Lei felt uneasy under Shen Luhua’s gaze, and it felt inappropriate to put down the things he had in hand. Saying it was on a whim, but bringing things would be admitting he ca on purpose.
"Auntie..."
Qi Lei was about to explain his thoughts, but Shen Luhua interrupted directly, "No need to say more, you and Sheng An are not suitable, please leave! Our family does not welco you."
