There isn’t much left now. They can’t afford to drink small amounts of wine, and there’s only this little bit of tea left. Lin’s father is only willing to use a tiny bit each time.

However, this tea has a strong fragrance. Just a little bit can be brewed several times.

Soon, the fragrant tea was served.

Si Nian stood up and pointed to the large carrying basket full of things beside her and said, “Sister-in-law, Mom, let’s put these things into the house first.”

Lin’s father and Lin’s mother had seen the things before but had been too embarrassed to say anything. Now they looked extremely ashamed and said, “We… we really don’t dare to accept so many nice things from you. We already owe you so much.”

Si Nian shook her head and said, “You should accept them. He’s your son – in – law. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Zhou Yueshen stood up and said, “I’ll carry them in.”

It was really eye – catching to leave so many things at the door.

Seeing the helpless expressions on Lin’s father and Lin’s mother’s faces, Zhou Yueshen then said, “Si Nian and I haven’t had our wedding yet. We’ve been very busy these days. I also want her to adjust for a while. I know you don’t want her to marry me in a shabby way. So I’m here this time to discuss the wedding date with you and make preparations. These things can also come in handy when holding the wedding banquet.”

“Although I was previously engaged to Lin Sisi, I didn’t have much contact with her. I won’t let Si Nian feel wronged just because the person has changed. I promise you on this matter.”

Zhou Yueshen made a solemn promise.

It’s really good to be an older man. He’s not like a young and inexperienced boy who doesn’t know how to talk.

With these words, Zhou Yueshen not only gave everyone time to accept the situation but also showed his attitude towards Si Nian and made a commitment.

Everyone present immediately felt at ease.

Si Nian even suspected that he used to be a leader.

Anyway, he was very persuasive when speaking.

He didn’t act like a nouveau – riche boss at all.

“Good, good, good. This is the right thing to do. Comrade Zhou has thought it through carefully! We really need to have a good discussion about the wedding. We can’t let Niannian be wronged,” Lin’s father was very satisfied with this future son – in – law.

Although he was a divorced man with three children, he was very mature and thoughtful.

“Hey, everyone is here. Perfect!”

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from outside the house.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then turned to look.

They saw the very expensively dressed Si family couple and Lin Sisi coming.

Si’s father was wearing a neat old – fashioned gray suit and glasses, looking like a successful person.

Si’s mother was wearing a retro cheongsam. Her hair was styled and fixed with hairspray. She had makeup on her face and was carrying a small handbag.

Lin Sisi was wearing a pink dress and following behind, looking well – behaved.

Si Nian glanced at the dress and noticed that it was exactly the same as one in her wardrobe, even the color was the same. However, since Lin Sisi grew up in a rural area and was a bit tanned, the pink color looked even more out of place on her.

Si Nian silently retracted her gaze but was a bit confused. What were these people doing here?

Lin Sisi naturally also noticed Si Nian. After all, in this shabby loess tile – roofed house courtyard, Si Nian looked so beautiful that she didn’t seem to belong to this era. Even a simple casual loose T – shirt and jeans looked extremely beautiful on her.

Her skin was dazzlingly white.

This was a level of whiteness that she couldn’t achieve no matter how many expensive skin – care products she used.

Lin Sisi was eighteen years old, in the throes of adolescence. She had a lot of acne on her face. When she was young and inexperienced, she often squeezed them with her hands, which made her skin worse.

Previously, she was very confused. Why were the skin of her brothers and younger brothers better than hers since childhood? Although her elder brother’s skin was dark, no matter how he behaved, he didn’t have pores, and his facial features were also very good – looking.

Her two younger brothers were fair and cute when they were young, incredibly beautiful. At that time, she thought there was a reason for her own good looks since everyone in the family had good facial features.

So she was the most beautiful girl in the village.

But after going to the city, she realized that her so – called beauty was nothing.

Especially when she saw Si Nian, she truly understood the gap between people.

She understood how powerful genes could be.

She thought that after Si Nian stayed in the village for a while, she would surely look as dusty as everyone else.

Who would have thought that she still looked so glamorous when they met again.

On the contrary, her own elaborately dressed and flamboyant appearance seemed over – done.

It made her feel a kind of refined ugliness.

Lin Sisi blamed all this on Si Nian.

She thought that if Si Nian hadn’t taken away her eighteen – year – long life, she might be as fair and beautiful as Si Nian.

She wouldn’t have to dress up so hard and still couldn’t compare to her.

Seeing Si Nian, Si’s father and Si’s mother looked gloomy.

They thought Si Nian had come to the Lin family to ask for the cancellation of the engagement.

Immediately, they showed a bad attitude.

Originally, they didn’t send Si Nian to the Lin family but kept her in the Si family because they planned to let Si Nian marry the man who was engaged to their daughter quickly. In this way, Si Nian would be a married woman, which would not only solve their daughter’s rural marriage problem but also prevent her from ruining their daughter’s marriage with the Fu family in the future.

Now seeing her here and remembering what their daughter said about her selling her job and possibly wanting to return to the city, they naturally thought that Si Nian was here to discuss canceling the engagement.

Immediately, Si’s mother scolded, “Didn’t you promise us that you would get married? Why did you come back? Do you think that by canceling the engagement, you can go back to the city and ruin the wedding between our Sisi and Fu Yang?”

Saying this, Zhang Cuimei looked at Si Nian with disgust and said, “We’ve raised you all these years. We’ve done more than enough! Don’t have wild fantasies about Sisi’s fiancé!”

Si Nian raised her eyes. Under her long and black eyelashes, her eyes were as deep as a black pool.

Sisi’s fiancé?

Did this family have paranoid delusions?

Zhang Cuimei felt a bit regretful after saying something so excessive.

Actually, she didn’t want to treat the child she had raised like this. But on the way here, after hearing what Sisi said, she became more and more worried.

So her tone was a bit harsher this time.

Seeing Si Nian staring at her, her expression became a bit unnatural.

Just when she was worried that her daughter would have a big fight as she did before, Si Nian calmly lowered her eyes and said, “Mom, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

As soon as she said this, Zhang Cuimei, who had just suppressed her anger, felt another wave of anger rising. “You still don’t admit it. Sisi saw you selling your job. You just want to sell it so that you can go to the city to find the young master of the Fu family, right?”

Si Nian’s red lips curved slightly. Her charming eyes swept across Lin Sisi as if seeing through everything.

Lin Sisi couldn’t help but lower her head when meeting her gaze. She was both uneasy and a bit guilty.

“Mom, you’re overthinking. I’m already married to Mr. Zhou. How could I possibly go to find Fu Yang?” Si Nian sighed and said in a helpless tone.

“Married? But you don’t even have a marriage certificate. Who knows what you’re thinking?” Zhang Cuimei still didn’t quite believe it.
