C32 (1/2)

When the sun rose, Xiao Pao and the rest had already changed into their new clothes and were waiting for the Zhou family to arrive.

Today, it was rare for Xiao Xiuer to wear a floral jacket, and she was even dressed up carefully by the He's with her silver tael of Hanging Powder.

Seeing Xiao Xiuer like this, Xiao Hu frowned, if not for being afraid of ruining her reputation, with Xiu Er's looks, she would have been able to give away more than 100 taels of silver to be her concubine. What a pity!

Xiao Xiuer did not look shy at all. She thought she would be very scared, but the closer they got to each other, the calmer she became. She had practiced everything in her heart hundreds of times before, and she was not afraid of anything.

It was said that Zhou Yanxing was very sick, and his family had already brought him to the Regional Palace to find a doctor. Therefore, Zhou Yanxing would definitely not appear on the delivery slip, and the Zhou family would definitely find a good excuse to hide the reason why Zhou Yanxing could not appear!

If not for his eldest sister-in-law, Xiao Xiuer would probably have acted like his parents and thought that what his third uncle said was true. Right now, he was happily waiting for the Zhou Family to send him the order, Xiao Xiuer sneered in his heart.

Time passed slowly. The noise and cheers of a child could be heard. Everyone could not help but sit up straight. The Zhou family had arrived!

Sure enough, a group of children rushed in. ”The groom is here!”

”The carriage is coming!”

”Oh, oh. Here comes the nice ones!”

A rare smile appeared on Xiao Li's disease's face as he ordered Xiao He: ”Go and take a look at the door!”

”Sigh!” Xiao He laughed as he walked towards the main entrance.

A carriage slowly approached. On the shaft of the carriage was a man wearing a short robe and a small hat. He lightly shook the horsewhip and pulled the reins. With a ”whoosh”, the carriage came to a halt.

A man wearing a blue one-piece and a square cloth came down from the carriage, followed by a woman wearing a peach-colored flowery skirt. The man wearing a hat was the coachman, so he took out a gift from the back of the carriage and followed the main house into the Xiao family courtyard.

When Xiao He saw the person who came, he could not help but be stunned. Normally, a son-in-law would personally come to deliver information, but why was it Zhou Yanxing's big brother, Zhou Yangui? Who was the woman beside him? Judging from her age, could she be Zhou Yangui's wife?

Without thinking much, Xiao He walked up to welcome him: ”It's been hard on you. Come, let's sit inside.”

Zhou Yangui immediately said: ”Please enter first!”

As the Zhou family entered the Xiao family's courtyard, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. There were rumors that the Zhou family was indeed wealthy, and there were even carriages with coachmen. How grand! Some people said that Xiu Er would go to the town to enjoy his happiness, and some people said how the Zhou family sent news that the one who came was not the bridegroom.

In short, there was a lot of discussion and people even followed them into the courtyard. It was rare to see such a lively scene in the village, and now everyone wanted to join in on the fun.

Zhou Yangui and his wife Yu's entered the room laughing, the carriage driver put down the load, and placed the boxes of gifts on the table. Seeing the beautifully packaged gift boxes, the villagers who were watching the fun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

It was rare for Xiao Li's disease to be happy, he even let the children who came to watch the fun throw two candy bars, causing them to not be able to leave the Xiao family's courtyard.

Zhou Yangui and the Yu's sat down and handed over the notice. They talked about the marriage three days later with the Xiao Pao, and since they had finished talking about it already, it would not be a problem for them to fill in some details. Xiao Xiuer and Zhang Shi were sitting inside the room, but when Xiao Xiuer heard the rest of the people from the Xiao Pao not mentioning why Zhou Yanxing did not come to deliver the gift, he could not help but sneer, pulling over Zhang Shi and said a few words softly.

After the pleasantries, Zhou Yangui asked the Xiao family if they had any other requests.

Just as Xiao Li's disease was about to say ”no”, he suddenly heard a shaky voice from outside the door: ”Could you tell me, relatives, why is it that your son-in-law isn't here?”

It was the Zhang Clan Leader, whose soft and trembling voice made Xiao Li's disease raise his eyebrows. This b * tch, he actually dared to be so careless in front of an outsider!

Zhou Yangui glanced at Yu's, and Yu's smiled gently: ”Speaking of family jokes, this third brother of mine is really impatient towards us ladies, from yesterday, he did not wake up to inspect the gifts today, and now that he is very cold today, accidentally got a bit hot from the cold, for fear of delaying the engagement, let Third Brother drink medicine at home to recuperate, and let me and his big brother come over, I hope that our big brother can forgive us for this, he is infatuated with us ladies!”

Everyone laughed. Xiao Pao even asked, ”Is your son-in-law's illness alright?”
