Ah, I remember now, the fourth brother said his blind date looked like a ball, why do people here always compare someone being overweight to a ball?
"Mom, have you heard if Li Chuntao has found a family to marry into?"
Xiaoxiao thought it was still worth asking about it. After all, her fourth brother’s blind dates had been repeatedly unsuccessful, and he no longer loved attending them. She didn’t know what dissatisfied him about so many girls.
"What now, why are you asking this?" Xiaoxiao’s mother asked, puzzled.
"It’s just concern, I’m already married, and my little sister hasn’t found a family yet. I’m just worried for her!" Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered as she found an excuse to sift through the topic, but Yang Ming caught that look, suspecting his wife was up to some mischief again.
"You really worry about the most trivial matters, but she should be settling down soon. She’s not getting any younger, and her family is arranging it now. Didn’t you see that she went to her grandmother’s house?"
"..." Really? She had set her sights on the fourth brother, hadn’t she? Was she willing to let her family arrange it?
Xiaoxiao continued, "Going to her grandma’s house, is that to go see that family?"
"I also heard it from her mother, it seems to be her cousin, someone they know well! Just don’t know if Li Chuntao agrees."
"..." This... this sounds like a marriage between relatives, how could that work? That’s a major issue that could seriously affect future generations.
Xiaoxiao’s mother continued, "But it also depends on whether her cousin agrees. I’ve heard her cousin is as skinny as a stick, he probably wouldn’t want someone overweight like her. The specifics are still unclear."
Xiaoxiao continued eating and didn’t ask further. Well, fate is a mysterious thing; if there’s no destiny, no matter how she tries to fabricate opportunities, it won’t work. Besides, those two are still young, there’s plenty of time.
After Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming finished their meal, Xiaoxiao’s mother took away the dishes. Just as she was leaving, Xiaoxiao spoke, "Mom, please bring a doctor for my husband, he’s been vomiting blood after all."
"Oh, I’ll go right now." She had been so focused on her daughter that she completely forgot her son-in-law had been beaten, a moment for self-reflection. Both were her loved ones; she had to treat them equally.
After Xiaoxiao’s mother left, Yang Ming pulled his wife closer. "What are you plotting?"
"You tell me. When your mom asked you earlier, your expression, your eyes, they looked unnatural, like you were hiding something?"
"..." Was he really that sharp, like a detective? Well, might as well tell him, "Actually, Li Chuntao took a liking to our family’s Yang Dong, so I was just inquiring about the situation."
"When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?" Yang Ming was surprised; his brother had caught someone’s eye?
"It was during the visit after our wedding. The fourth brother accompanied me back, and just then, Li Chuntao saw him. She completely fell for the fourth brother at first sight. Didn’t expect the fourth brother to be so charming," Xiaoxiao said with relish.
Yet, it left a bad taste in Yang Ming’s mouth. During the visit after their wedding, he had left his wife to return with his brother, embarrassing her thoroughly.
"Wife, I’m sorry for not accompanying you back then."
"Heh, it’s all in the past, why bring it up now? Just treat me well from now on."
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming didn’t chat long inside when they heard noises growing louder outside. Unable to stay put, they went out to check.
Upon stepping out, they saw the whole Yang family had come, "Dad, mom."
