"Why?" Ling Jiuyue asked, puzzled. Knowing it wouldn't work, why would she go on a special trip?

Qin Shixiao looked at her, smiling and revealing a set of bright white teeth:

"I didn't want to marry her, so naturally I wanted to know more about her family. That's why I already knew that her second brother had a girlfriend in the city."

Her second brother's girlfriend is not so easy to please. Their family can't bear to part with this high-born daughter-in-law, so they will inevitably have to give up me, their already worthless son-in-law.

That day I went to their house to propose marriage, and they kept making demands. I wanted to see just how far they could go, but I never expected this…”

Ling Jiuyue suddenly asked, "What if she's not as materialistic as you think, and simply likes you for who you are and marries you?"

"Impossible!" Qin Shixiao stated firmly, "If she were that kind of person who didn't care about gains and losses, she wouldn't have deliberately schemed against me in the first place!"

Ling Jiuyue put away her basket and looked at him through the bean trellis.

"Qin Shixiao, you've told me your story, so let me tell you about myself. I'm the kind of person who can't stand a speck of dust in my eyes, and I can't stand being wronged."

Qin Shixiao nodded.

Ling Jiuyue continued, "You know my mother gave birth to three daughters in a row. If we have children in the future, and they take my family name, what do you think?"

"no problem!"

Qin Shixiao's quick reply surprised Ling Jiuyue.

"Are you acting on impulse, or do you genuinely not care?"

Qin Shixiao looked at her intently: "I'm not saying this without thinking. I'm serious. Before I came, my older brother also mentioned this possibility to my mother."

My eldest brother has two sons, and my second brother has one. We don't need any grandchildren. I've been in the military for many years and have been raised in the modern era, so I really don't care whose surname they take.

Ling Jiuyue's eyes lit up: "Qin Shixiao, let's date!"

When Qin's mother saw the two young people returning from the vegetable garden, she had a strange feeling, whether it was because she was so eager to see her youngest son get married or something else, that the two children were not only a good match but also seemed to like each other.

Ling Jiuyue put down the basket and hurried into the kitchen to help her older sister.

Aunt Tian Yunzhen and Uncle Ling came over carrying a basket and greeted Sun Yulan with smiles from afar.

"Sister-in-law, I've brought over a bottle of wine. Let's have a good drink with our guests today!"

The sudden arrival of Tian Yunzhen and her husband surprised both Ling Guosheng and Sun Yulan.

It's said that you can't hit a smiling face, so Sun Yulan quickly greeted her with a smile:

"Sister-in-law is so thoughtful. What I really need is a bottle of good wine. Old Ling, why don't you and your brother keep Xiao Qin company for a while!"

Since Ling Jianjun was beaten, the two sisters-in-law haven't spoken to each other for four or five years, let alone sat down to eat together.

Her family had no sons, only three daughters, making them quite small. Since it was the first time the Qin family had come to visit, Sun Yulan naturally hoped that there would be more relatives and clansmen at home, making the family seem more harmonious and lively.

Yang Xingzhi put the vegetables into the pot and glanced outside: "Today is really strange. When we got married, your aunt didn't come, but now that we're getting married in September, she's here."

"Chun'er, your aunt is here, surely your third aunt won't come along to join the fun too!"

Ling Chun glared at him: "Shut your mouth! Go outside and talk to Xiao Qin. My dad and uncle, those two old men, are keeping him company; it's so awkward!"

"Don't worry!" Yang Xingzhi skillfully stir-fried: "Don't think he's as wooden as a block of wood. Let me tell you, that kid is much better at flattering people than I am!"

Besides, if I go out, who will cook for me? With the food you made, how can you even entertain guests?

The Ling family members aren't very good cooks; their food is edible, but definitely not delicious.

Yang Xingzhi loves to eat and cook, and he does most of the cooking at home. When he came to his mother-in-law's house, he naturally took on the responsibility of being the head chef.

Ling Jiuyue peeled some garlic and handed it to Yang Xingzhi: "Brother-in-law, how do you know him?"

Yang Xingzhi was a young master who had returned from the city. When he returned, Qin Shixiao had already joined the army.

Yang Xingzhi put the green beans that Ling Jiuyue had prepared into the pot, intending to make a stir-fried green beans with meat.

"Hehe, he looks down on Cai Lanfang, but I have a fool in my family who treats Cai Lanfang like a goddess. After his affair with Cai Lanfang was exposed, my idiot went to fight him."

He beat him up, and he came back crying, begging me for help. Even though I don't like that idiot, I couldn't just stand by and watch him bully my brother, so I fought him. Then I was bedridden for half a month!

Ling Jiuyue chuckled: "So you two became friends after a fight? I thought you knew each other before this!"

When Ling Chun heard him talk about fighting, she remembered Shunzi's situation: "Did Shunzi break up with that Zhu Xiaomei?"

"What are you retreating for!" Yang Xingzhi turned around to make tofu, intending to cook a vegetable and tofu soup:

"After Zhang Hongbin found out that Zhu Xiaomei had a lover outside, he took a knife, stabbed someone, and ran away. He is now on the wanted list!"

"Zhu Xiaomei's lover's family is powerful. They vowed to capture Zhang Hongbin no matter what, dead or alive. As for Zhu Xiaomei, she was caught and severely beaten by that lover's family. It's said that she was already pregnant, and the kick caused severe abdominal bleeding and uterine loss. She's completely out of the game for seducing men now!"

Ling Chun listened with trepidation: "Luckily, it was discovered early in September. Otherwise, with your temper, wouldn't you have stood up for your brother Shunzi and fought with that Zhang Hongbin?"

Ling Chun felt a wave of fear when she thought of Zhang Hongbin, that seemingly honest man, who actually dared to stab someone with a knife.

"No way!" Yang Xingzhi finished cooking and turned to call to Ling Jiuyue, "Are there any preserved eggs left? Let's make some cold preserved egg salad!"

Ling Jiuyue went out to get the preserved eggs.

Aunt Ling, supporting Old Madam Ling, came over from a distance: "Second Sister-in-law, you're hosting a dinner party, why didn't you invite us? It's like we're not family!"

Ling Chun glared at Yang Xingzhi again, "See? I told you not to jinx it."

Sun Yulan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. When Tian Yunzhen came to visit, she could still greet her with a smile, disregarding the past.

I really hate Aunt Ke Ling, and I don't want to have anything to do with her at all.

And this old hag, she suddenly appeared, I don't know what she wants to do.

After all, they were family, and not wanting their future son-in-law to laugh at them, Ling Guosheng got up and invited the old lady and Aunt Ling to sit down.

Aunt Ling sat down next to Qin's mother, chuckling, "Elder sister, I heard your son works in the military?"

Although Qin's mother was not clear about the Ling family's situation, she had heard about it in general and nodded slightly.

Aunt Ling then took her hand and laughed, "Our September is really lucky. She was rejected by the He family, and then Qin took a liking to her right away."

When the engagement was called off, my second sister-in-law was very worried. I tried to comfort her, saying, "Our September is so beautiful. Even if she remarries, there will be plenty of suitors. How could she not get married?"
