63: Chapter 62: Precious Bump 63: Chapter 62: Precious Bump As soon as Grandma Xu heard it concerned her precious grandchild, she ran even faster than Yang Cuihua, quickly pulling her into the house.
While Xu Sisi, Xu Erhong’s daughter, was busy working, she saw Yang Cuihua come in and her face beamed with enthusiasm, “Auntie, you’re here.”
Yang Cuihua, intent on discussing important matters, waved her hand dismissively, “Go play over there.”
Grandma Xu, too, had a stern look on her face, “Don’t interrupt.”
Xu Sisi immediately pouted in silence.
These two were about to discuss something again, and her mother had said that whenever her auntie and her grandma met, she must be informed.
She just didn’t understand why these adults always had to be so secretive about their affairs.
Once Yang Cuihua and Grandma Xu were in the old lady’s room, Grandma Xu asked eagerly, “Cuihua, tell me quick, what has happened to my precious baby?”
Despite Grandma Xu’s shrewd appearance, whenever it came to anything concerning Xu Niannian, the old lady was more anxious than anyone.
Knowing how much the old lady adored her daughter, Yang Cuihua didn’t beat around the bush, “Mom, Baby Nian chose someone yesterday, and the suitor is coming tomorrow to propose.”
“What?” Grandma Xu was shocked, her lips trembling, “My Baby Nian is betrothed?
How come I didn’t know, damn you, how could you keep this from your mother.”
With that, the old lady smacked Yang Cuihua’s back.
Yang Cuihua, thick-skinned, didn’t mind, “Mom, listen to me first, don’t get agitated, wasn’t it just yesterday that they met?
I didn’t know it would happen so quickly either.”
The old lady knew Yang Cuihua’s character all too well; if it wasn’t for giving birth to Baby Nian, the treasure, she would have really liked to whack her with a cane.
Such matters should have been communicated to her beforehand.
But now that it was already done, the old lady didn’t bother to argue about it.
The most important issue now was the suitor’s conditions.
“So, what’s the situation with this suitor?” Grandma Xu got straight to the point.
Jin Yu’s credentials were beyond reproach; leaving aside the fact that he had bullied her daughter, Yang Cuihua was extremely satisfied with him.
Furthermore, on the way back, her daughter had also clarified the misunderstanding at that time.
Yang Cuihua only had that one gripe about Jin Yu, which was resolved after a word from Xu Niannian, leaving her feeling much relieved.
When the old lady inquired, Yang Cuihua grinned from ear to ear, unable to contain her joy, “Excellent, just excellent…”
She went on to tell Grandma Xu all about Jin Yu’s family background.
Upon hearing, Grandma Xu was absolutely delighted, “Is it really that good?”
“Truly, I’ve even been to their house to see for myself.
Mom, I won’t go into details now.
Remember to tell Erhong and his wife when they get back, and I have to go to town to let my younger sister know.
You all should come over early tomorrow.”
Grandma Xu still had many questions, but this news indeed had to be conveyed to the third sister.
It was her niece getting engaged, and as her aunt, how could she not be present?
Thus, Grandma Xu didn’t hold her back and before letting her go, she didn’t forget to give Yang Cuihua two corn cakes, “Take these back for my treasure to eat.” Follow current novels on novel fire.net
Without a word, Yang Cuihua grabbed the corn cakes and headed to town, munching on one while thinking, her daughter couldn’t eat such coarse stuff anymore.
She resolved to have her daughter send some pumpkin cakes to the old lady later; they tasted wonderful, and she wanted the old lady to also sample her beloved granddaughter’s cooking.
No sooner had Yang Cuihua stepped out of Xu Erhong’s home, than Xu Sisi dashed off to the fields to inform her mother, Liu Guimei, that Yang Cuihua had come to visit.
The moment Liu Guimei heard this, she immediately threw down her hoe and hurried home.
Fearing she might miss out on some news, Xu Erhong, seeing her rush, also dropped his hoe and chased after her.
