Chapter 58

At night, Cuicui and her aunt slept together. They were not too sleepy yet and were talking quietly. Cuicui suddenly leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Aunt, I heard from Xiaozhu that a few days ago, a few aunts came to talk to her grandmother at home. One of the aunts said that my uncle was very close to a girl, and they said that my third brother might get married."

Zhong Ruyi was a little sleepy at first, and was talking to Cuicui in a lazy manner, but she immediately perked up after hearing this: "Cui, have you seen the girl they are talking about? Do your grandfather, your parents, and others know about her?"

Cuicui pouted and said, "I asked my mother if my uncle was going to get married, and my mother scolded me and told me not to listen to what people outside said."

It seems that the eldest sister-in-law should have heard a few words about Miss Zhou, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. She also didn't want the third brother to marry someone who was troublesome and cause unrest in the family.

Anyway, he will stay at home for two days. If my third brother really likes Miss Zhou, he will always find a chance to talk to mother about it. Then it will depend on how mother handles it.

The next morning, Zhong Ruyi was awakened by the chirping of insects and birds outside the window. When she woke up, Cuicui was still sleeping. She tiptoed to get up and wash.

The rest of the Zhong family also got up one after another. After breakfast, Zhong Ruyi saw her third brother holding an axe and preparing to chop wood. She asked casually, "Third brother, why don't you go hunting in the mountains with Brother Dongzhi?"

Zhong Laosan's face froze, but he quickly covered it up and said, "I don't want to go hunting recently. I want to rest at home for a few days."

Mr. Zhong was sitting nearby. Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said nothing, with a sour look on his face. Compared to last night, Mrs. Zhong had already told him everything she heard.

Zhong Ruyi looked at her third brother with sympathy. Now, only her third brother thought that Miss Zhou was a good person. People around him told him but he still didn't believe it. Zhong Ruyi shook her head.

"Aunt, the fruit tree we visited last time is now very ripe. Let's go pick some!" Cuicui said with sparkling eyes.

Zhong Ruyi didn't want to go, but seeing Cuicui's expectant eyes, she agreed and took the small backpack and went up the mountain!

The two of them walked and talked.

"Little aunt."

"what's wrong?"

"Is my uncle getting married? I think grandma and grandpa don't look very happy."

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what to say, because all she had heard about Miss Zhou was from other people or from people she had inquired about in Yangliu Village. She had never seen Miss Zhou in person, so she couldn't be sure whether she was like what others said.

"I'm not sure either. Just look at your uncle. If he really likes that girl, no one can stop him."

If the third brother really likes that Miss Zhou and is willing to go against his parents to marry her, then there is nothing we can do about it. It also shows that Miss Zhou may not be as bad as others say.

When they finished picking the ripe hairy fruits and were about to leave, they heard a rustling sound from the bushes. Zhong Ruyi thought it was a snake, so she quickly grabbed Cuicui and was about to leave. But Chen Dongzhi came out of the bushes holding a wild rabbit.

"...Brother Dongzhi, why are you here?" After saying that, she looked at the rabbit in his hand again, and felt that her question was in vain. Didn't he come up the mountain to hunt? He was holding a rabbit in his hand, and the basket on his back looked heavy.

He picked up the rabbit in his hand and held it in front of her, "I caught a few rabbits, do you want one?" After saying that, he put the rabbit in her hand without waiting for her to say whether she wanted it or not.

Their hands inevitably touched. He was the one who took the initiative, but he was also the first to blush.

Zhong Ruyi cried out, and before she could react and refuse, a fat rabbit was stuffed into her arms. Ah, this, this is so embarrassing. Although she felt that Chen Dongzhi should like her, she didn't agree to him. Would it be inappropriate to accept his things like this?

Chen Dongzhi barely controlled his expression and tried not to laugh out loud. "I have a few more here. I'll give them to you."

As he was about to put down the backpack, Zhong Ruyi quickly said that he didn't need it: "No, no, no, Brother Dongzhi, one is enough, no more! Thank you."

"I have many more at home, and they have given birth to many puppies. If you want one, just tell me, and don't buy any more."

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Chen Dongzhi withdrew his hand.

"Uncle Dongzhi!" Cuicui, who had been silent since Chen Dongzhi appeared, opened her mouth and shouted.

Chen Dongzhi nodded, "Are you guys going back? I'm also planning to go back, let's go together."

Zhong Ruyi had no choice but to follow him. After walking a few steps, Chen Dongzhi took the backpack she was carrying and held it himself.

Cuicui walked beside the two of them and felt like she was a little redundant. Although her aunt and Uncle Dongzhi didn't talk much, someone would blush after every few words, either her aunt or Uncle Dongzhi.

Although she was only ten years old, she knew a little bit about what was going on at home because she watched her parents, grandpa, grandma, second uncle and second aunt get along with each other every day. She could see that Uncle Dongzhi liked her aunt, and her aunt was also interested in Uncle Dongzhi.

When they got home, Zhong Ruyi remembered that she had been busy talking on the way. She had originally wanted to take some of the old winter solstice hairy fruits she had picked, but she forgot all about it all at once. It was all because of the alluring beauty.

Or she could ask her third brother to help take some to him. As a result, when she picked up a basket of larger fruits and asked her third brother to take it to Chen Dongzhi, her third brother hesitated and said he was tired and didn't want to go.

Zhong Ruyi: ???

Brother, why don't you check the time now? Didn't you just finish breakfast? Why are you tired already?

"Third brother, are you having a conflict with Brother Dongzhi? Why don't you go to see him?"

Zhong Laosan stuck his neck out and refused to admit it. When asked, he just said he was tired and didn't want to move.

Zhong Ruyi deliberately teased him, "Third brother, you are so young and your health is not good. What will you do when you get married in the future?"

Zhong Laosan's face turned red all of a sudden. "Don't talk nonsense. Did you hear what others said to you? Did Brother Dongzhi say that?"

"Humph, it doesn't matter who said it. If you don't go, I'll go by myself."

She went out with the hairy fruit for Chen Dongzhi. Not long after she left, Zhong's mother came back from feeding the chickens. When Zhong Laosan saw Zhong's mother, he ran up to her and massaged her shoulders and legs attentively.

Mother Zhong let her youngest son massage her shoulders with an expressionless face. Finally, when she was starting to get a little impatient, Zhong Lao San finally spoke.

"Mom, I, I have something to tell you."

Zhong's mother closed her eyes and didn't say anything. Zhong Laosan could only bite the bullet and continue, "I met a girl from Yangliu Village. I met her several times. I, I like her very much." He thought that his mother would naturally understand what he meant when he said this, but his mother still closed her eyes and didn't say anything after he finished speaking, and he suddenly became anxious.

"Mom, have you also heard what the villagers said?" He was anxious and squatted in front of Zhong's mother. "Yu Ru is a very good person, kind and capable. If you met her, you would like her."

Mother Zhong just let him chatter non-stop, and waited until he finally stopped before slowly opening her eyes. She saw her youngest son looking at her eagerly. She felt a little sour in her heart, because she knew that she had introduced him to several families over the years, but all of them had rejected her.

He felt frustrated in his heart. Now that he had finally met someone he liked and who also loved him, he was so eager to marry her home.

Mother Zhong was unwilling but didn't want to reject her son directly, so she could only say, "Let's talk about it later. I haven't met that girl yet. When I meet her one day, if I find that she is really like what you said, then I will go to her house to propose marriage. If I find out that what you said was all her pretending to deceive you, then you'd better give up as soon as possible!"
