Chapter 475 Relationship Issues
My aunt is a shrewd old woman; she can understand things just by glancing around with her eyes.

Her Xiao Jiu might not have any feelings for Lin Duo, but Lin Duo might.

The aunt carefully examined Lin Duo, and seeing the young man standing there stiffly, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, she felt that he was not bad.

As for his character, we don't know yet. We'll talk to him later and see.

However, compared to considering Lin Duo's character, what angered the eldest aunt even more was what Da Shun's sister-in-law had done.

Was it because they were afraid she would object, so they bypassed the middleman?
How shameless!
My aunt stormed into the house and brandished a kitchen knife, which startled my uncle, who quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Cook first, cook first, I'll talk to Da Shun later."

His aunt rolled her eyes at him, the meaning of which was clear: What kind of family status does Da Shun have?
The uncle was speechless.

Sheng Jiu quickly stepped forward and spoke to the person for a while before finally persuading them to stop.

She brought back quite a lot of things, but Sheng Zexuan didn't need to lift a finger; Lin Duo and Sun Susu carried them back easily.

Lunch was very plentiful. Although Sheng Siyu didn't come back, she had just returned last week, so it wasn't too much of a disappointment for her aunt.

The family ate and drank together.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Auntie perked up and began to probe Lin Duo.

Lin Duo didn't realize his aunt's meaning at first. He simply thought that she didn't think he was a good person, so she asked him more questions.

As the questions went on...

How did this question get so off-topic?

Where are my parents?
What are you doing?

Is there a retirement pension?

Do you like children?
……

Lin Duo's reaction wasn't slow either; he finally realized the problem at this moment.

He looked at Sheng Jiu with a blank and flustered expression, thinking that even if he had some ulterior motives, he was honest and would just be an employee if the boss disagreed or was unwilling.

However, when his aunt asked him a question, he panicked.

Sheng Jiu was also a little embarrassed by her aunt's actions. She quietly tugged at her aunt's sleeve under the table and whispered, "It's nothing, Auntie, please don't ask. It's not appropriate."

After asking around for a while, the aunt also felt that Lin Duo's conditions were not good enough.

A poor young man who lost both his parents and had no close relatives, he went out to work and earn money all by himself.

These conditions...

Hmm, how do you interpret that?

On the bright side, having no immediate family members means fewer things to do, less need to worry about social interactions, and a relatively peaceful life.

On the worst-case scenario, it means that in the future, we will have to rely on Sheng Jiu for everything, and there will be practically no one to help us.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Auntie felt that since Xiao Jiu was well-off, she wouldn't be so desperate as to want anything.

Therefore, Lin Duo, pass.

Lin Duo: Waaah!
Lin Duo stuttered and was tongue-tied, so he had no idea what to say.

But Sun Susu is not like that.

Although he is less tactful than Boll.

However, her straightforwardness was quite liked by her aunt.

She likes straightforward girls like that.

As they talked, the conversation inevitably turned to marriage.

The aunt thought that although the girl's conditions were not very good, she liked her very much.

Being a daughter-in-law would be nice.

Sheng Zexuan: ?

mom?
Why don't you open your eyes and take a look?
That girl is taller than me!
He didn't mind that the woman was taller than him.

But would the woman be happy about it?
Furthermore, Sheng Zexuan wants to enjoy a few more years of single life. So, marriage?

Even a dog wouldn't agree!

When the topic of relationships came up, Sun Susu's expression instantly somber.

Of course, it was mostly acting.

There was nothing she could do; she had only mentioned it briefly last time, and the old men were already trying to introduce her to potential partners.

Thankfully, I didn't have to introduce myself in the end, or it would have been incredibly awkward.

So when her aunt asked this time, Sun Susu sighed and said, "Oh, I have bad taste. I've been divorced three times already."

Aunt: ?

what?
Sheng Zexuan: ? ?
Ah?

Hearing Sun Susu's words, her aunt was surprised, but more than that, she felt sorry for her: "She's such a pitiful girl. Why didn't she meet a good man? Are you blinded by love? Sigh, when it comes to relationships, you can't just look at looks. You also have to consider character. You absolutely can't marry someone with bad character. You also have to consider their family background..."

As they chatted, the conversation drifted to Sheng Zexuan.

Although Sun Susu had been divorced three times, she said she had no children, so her aunt thought it didn't matter.

So, I introduced it to my son.

She quite liked Sun Susu.

He speaks frankly and directly, and my aunt finds it easy to get along with him, although she sometimes gets annoyed by his bluntness.

But isn't it great that we don't have to guess each other's thoughts?
Sheng Zexuan: ...

Mom, you really don't need to!

Sun Susu: ...

I really don't need it!

I'm in jail!
Sheng Jiu silently wiped away a bead of sweat from his brow.

Thankfully, the focus has finally shifted away from her.

Sun Susu finally declined her aunt's invitation, citing that she was heartbroken and didn't want to talk about relationships for the time being. She just wanted to earn some money on her own, buy a house in the city, and settle down.

When the aunt heard this, she thought the plan made a lot of sense: "Women, in the end, still need to have their own confidence."

In the afternoon, the family was sunbathing in the sunroom, chatting and gossiping.

Inevitably, the Sheng family was mentioned during the conversation.

Since Cui Shengcai's attempt to abduct Sheng Jiu, Cui Shengcai and his gang have definitely been taken into custody. The outcome of the trial will take time to unfold.

Although Sheng Wenzong did not participate in the entire process, and the attempt to kidnap Sheng Jiu was unsuccessful.

But there's more to him than meets the eye.

He was originally released from a juvenile detention center, but now that he's an adult, it's impossible for him to go back to a juvenile detention center, so he was directly detained.

Because of this incident, Uncle Sheng had a huge fight with Cui Ningning and the Cui family.

Uncle Sheng even pretended to be pitiful and cried a few times, all he wanted was money.

My aunt just grabbed a shovel and shooed him out!

Mentioning these two people, Auntie felt terrible: "Sheng Shan and Cui Ningning are going through a divorce. They've been going through this for years, but they've never really gotten a divorce. I guess they won't get a divorce this time either."

In my aunt's opinion, a broken pot with a broken lid is a waste.

These two should stay locked up and not separate to cause trouble for others.

Fearing that the two of them might cause trouble and disturb Sheng Jiu again, her aunt gave her a heads-up: "Those two are probably crazy now. They might come to your place and make a scene. Don't let them get away with it. If they need to fight back, call the police. Just make sure you don't suffer any losses. You call him 'uncle,' but has he ever taken that title for granted? Shameless bastards!"

The uncle stood in the corner, quietly shrinking his feet to minimize his presence.

Even so, he still couldn't escape his aunt's angry scolding.

Uncle:

Today is another day I want to beat my brother to death!
The second update will be at 19 PM.
