"Yicheng, your uncle drank too much and said something unpleasant. Please don’t take it to heart," Ji Ying explained, fearing that Pei Yicheng might get upset over the matter.
Pei Yicheng, as the prospective son-in-law, was increasingly liked by Ji Ying, who trusted her judgment, and even more so, Nianhua’s.
"Auntie, uncle is right. Merely talking isn’t enough. In the future, I’ll let time prove that you and uncle can confidently entrust Nianhua to me!" Pei Yicheng said sincerely, displaying a humble demeanor.
Meanwhile, Pei Yicheng harbored ambitious goals, aiming to establish the largest wholesale market in Jianning North!
He believed in his design drafts, believing he could ensure a carefree life for Nianhua.
"Yicheng, we all heard you. If you dare bully my little sister, we won’t allow it!" Xu Nian’an placed his hand on Pei Yicheng’s shoulder.
"That’s right," Xu Nianji chimed in.
Even Gu Mingcheng spoke up: "And me, you can’t bully my second sister!"
Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an exchanged a silent glance, thinking, isn’t it the Gu Family who is bullying Nianhua now? Isn’t it Gu Mingcheng’s own elder sister? The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
The next day, Gu Mingcheng eagerly invited Xu Nianhua to return to South City.
He had finished painting the sunrises and sunsets in Shuanghe Village and the beautiful scenery, and now he most wanted to take his second sister home.
"It won’t take much time to return to South City." Although Xu Nianhua didn’t want to go, she knew very well that as long as there were unresolved matters with the Gu Family, she had to go to South City. Since that was the case, why should she avoid it?
"Today, I’ll tidy up the house, and after nine, we’ll depart," Xu Nianhua said, looking at the mess from yesterday, intending to clean up first.
But before she could finish, sister-in-law Zhou He returned from a round in the village with Zhuangzhuang, bringing shocking news.
"What did you say? Xu Jiaojiao is getting married?"
Xu Nianhua looked at Zhou He in disbelief. A few days ago, didn’t Liu Sanmei deny that Xu Jiaojiao was dating?
"It’s true, I heard it with my own ears," Zhou He replied seriously. She dared not make a mistake about this and specifically asked to make sure before telling Xu Nianhua. She thought for a moment and whispered, "I heard from Aunt Hu that apparently Xu Jiaojiao is expecting."
Zhou He hesitated when she spoke of this.
"Expecting what?" Xu Nianhua didn’t react immediately.
Zhou He cleared her throat and said, "She’s pregnant, meaning she’s going to be a mom."
Xu Nianhua was even more dazed!
Xu Jiaojiao is gutsy, daring to get involved with someone before marriage and even get pregnant.
Liu Sanmei and Zhao Juxiang must be furious now, right?
Liu Sanmei and Zhao Juxiang weren’t just furious; they practically wanted to beat Xu Jiaojiao to death!
The foolish girl is pregnant, and now it’s become widely known in the village. If Xu Jiaojiao doesn’t marry him, in the past, she would have been drowned in a pig cage.
Xu Jiaojiao hid behind Cai Jin, protecting her belly, crying and insisting on marrying the father of her child.
Cai Jin kept saying he would take good care of Jiaojiao and the child.
Cai Jin was an orphan, raised in an orphanage, with no parents, and without a stable job in the county. He pursued Xu Jiaojiao partly because he liked her and partly because he wanted to have a family.
