Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11886

Da Sunshi was a good person in every way, but she was also very straightforward and blunt, and her guts would drag on the ground.

To put it bluntly, I can't keep a secret. I'm just not cut out for lying.

Sure enough, Madam Sun's face, which had a double chin, instantly turned red.

"Qing'er, what are you saying? It can't be that serious..." she mumbled, but still honestly told Yang Ruoqing the truth.

After hearing the whole story from Madam Sun, Yang Ruoqing shook her head.

"Luckily, no thieves noticed this place, otherwise, my second brother and sister-in-law's belongings would have been taken away overnight."

Madam Sun scratched her neck awkwardly, "Oh, I was too busy yesterday and forgot..."

"Yes, I reckon my second brother and sister-in-law will be back in the next couple of days."

"Have you heard about what happened at home?"

"Correct."

"But even if we come back, we still need to find Sixi first."

"Xiuhong is in town. Aunt, do you think Sixi can go far?"

"Haha, that's true..."

……

When it was time to cook lunch that day, Sanxi returned from town. This time he wasn't alone; Sixi was with him.

"Oh, Sixi, you're finally back! Your whole family has been looking for you everywhere!"

As soon as Si Xi passed by the old maple tree at the village entrance, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Regardless of their purpose, everyone rushed to greet him.

This left Sixi completely bewildered. He was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who was basically invisible in the village and had no interaction with the villagers and elders who were greeting him.

Why do these people seem so familiar with him after he's only been gone a few days? "Sixi, does this mean good things are on the horizon since you're back?"

"Sixi, well done! We'll come to your wedding banquet later!"

Four Joys: ...

Si Xi lowered her head, her face flushed, and quickened her pace toward home.

Having finally shaken off the overly enthusiastic villagers and reached his own courtyard wall, Sixi let out a breath and asked Sanxi with a puzzled look on his face, "Third Brother, what's with those people? They seemed to know me quite well!"

Sanxi witnessed the whole thing. He shook his head and said, "Well, in other people's eyes, you're practically a son-in-law of the Yang family now."

Si Xi understood.

This reminded him of what Xiu Hong had said to him in private last night when she brought her parents to see him.

Uncle Yang meant that they, as parents, respected their daughter's wishes.

However, for this marriage to go through, the man must show sufficient sincerity and cannot repeat the situation from last time.

As for the specifics of how to proceed, Si Xi himself needs to come back and communicate with his parents. After the communication is complete, both sets of parents should sit down together and discuss it thoroughly. Only after reaching an agreement can he formally propose marriage.

He was initially both happy and worried. He was happy that his uncle and aunt were so understanding and willing to help him and Xiu Hong get together.

But he was worried about his parents. It was because of their stubbornness and incomprehensibility that he resolutely ran away from home and decided to sever ties with his family.

It wasn't until his third brother came to town today and found him that his third brother told him what had happened at home these past few days.

Let him understand... that his marriage to Xiu Hong should now proceed without any obstacles.

That's why he agreed to come home with the funeral procession. Ultimately, for two people to become a real couple, they still need to be together openly and honestly, with proper betrothal and the approval of both sets of parents. Only then can such a marital relationship stand up in the eyes of others.

The young couple didn't need to leave their hometown and hide away elsewhere; after all, eloping was ultimately the worst of all methods...
