Chapter 83 Inquiry

“Son, how did you meet Ye Zhiqing? I wasn’t paying attention at the time because there was something going on in the village.” Ma Cuifen looked at her son with a curious and gossipy expression. Qi Chengxi had been so focused on talking to Ye Nanyi that he had forgotten.

 When people are nervous, they tend to drink water tactically or get busy. Qi Aixiu saw through it and interrupted directly. “Mom, my brother is back. Has his room been heated up?” Ma Cuifen was interrupted by Qi Aixiu and finally remembered that the kang hadn’t been heated. “I’ll go back first. Chengxi, go back after you finish eating.” Watching Ma Cuifen leave, Qi Chengxi finally relaxed. He turned his head and saw his sister looking at him thoughtfully. “Sister, what’s with that look?” Qi Aixiu didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

 “I don’t want to know how you met Ye Zhiqing. Tell me honestly, do you like her?” Qi Aixiu’s tone was very certain. Combined with Qi Chengxi’s behavior just now, she was absolutely sure. Qi Chengxi hesitated for a moment before honestly confessing to Qi Aixiu. “Sister, I like her. She looks so young. Do you think she might like me? Also, if I go to confess to her, what should I say? Should I say that I’ll listen to her from now on and hand over all my wages?” Qi Aixiu’s mind went blank after hearing her brother’s words. It was getting dark, and he was starting to dream. “Stop!” Qi Aixiu couldn’t take it anymore. He was like a peacock showing off. “What’s wrong, Sister? Am I wrong? Should I ask Second Sister to give me some advice?” Qi Chengxi made another explosive suggestion. “

No, if you weren’t my brother, I would want to beat you up. You need to first confirm if Ye Zhiqing is interested in you. What’s the point of all these assumptions?” Hearing this, Qi Chengxi quickly shut his mouth. “Alright, I’m going to help Ye Zhiqing work tomorrow. You…” Hearing this, Qi Chengxi immediately responded. “I’ll go too.” “Where are you going? Stay at home. I’ll go and test the waters.” Qi Aixiu looked at her brother. He used to be so smart when he was little, how did he become like this? “Have you finished eating? Finish up and leave quickly. I need to rest.” Qi Chengxi saw that there was still some food left in his bowl, so he ate quickly and washed his bowl before leaving. Qi Chengxi was about to tell Qi Aixiu that he would pick her up tomorrow, but the door closed. When he got home, he found that his parents were still awake. “Mom and Dad, you scared me to death!” As soon as Qi Chengxi got home, he found his parents still awake, sitting in the hall.

 After pulling Qi Chengxi to sit down, Ma Cuifen asked about the previous topic again. “Tell your mother, how did you meet Ye Zhiqing?” Qi Chengxi took a deep breath. “Mom, why are you asking this again? It’s confidential.” Ma Cuifen was choked by this answer. “You stinky boy, you’re not young anymore, and you’re not getting married. I don’t care how you met Ye Zhiqing, she’s still young, only 16 years old. Don’t do anything that will shame your parents.” The brigade leader echoed his wife. “That’s right.” Qi Chengxi looked at his parents in disbelief. He kept looking around, as if his parents had been switched. “You stinky boy, what’s with that look? Let me tell you, your father and I like Ye Zhiqing very much. This girl is straightforward, she won’t be bullied in the future.

” Qi Chengxi had thought about being harassed by his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he didn’t expect to face this hurdle first. What was going on? Had he been away from home for too long, even his parents had changed? “Alright, what are you still standing there for? Go to rest. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.” After saying this, Ma Cuifen went back to the room with the brigade leader. “No, didn’t you bring up this topic first? What’s going on?” Qi Chengxi went back to his room with a sullen face. Back in his room, he was still lost in thought, but he was too tired and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Qi Aixiu arrived at Ye Nanyi’s dormitory.

 Ye Nanyi quickly took everything out of her space. She also took out the vintage glass bottles she had hoarded from her previous life. “Ye Meizi, did I come too early?” Ye Nanyi knew that people woke up early at this time. “It’s fine. Let’s work quickly today, so we can finish early.” After Ye Nanyi finished tidying up, Qi Aixiu started making canned lantern fruit. Although Qi Aixiu’s hands didn’t stop, the hesitation on her face made Ye Nanyi uncomfortable. “Aixiu Jie, you seem to have something on your mind. What’s wrong?” Qi Aixiu didn’t know how to say it. If it were someone else, she could ask directly. But it was her own brother, and she felt awkward.

“Aixiu Jie, it’s okay, just say it.” Qi Aixiu swallowed. “Well, Nanyi, have you ever thought about finding a partner?” Ye Nanyi was confused. Why was she asking this question out of the blue? However, Ye Nanyi still thought about it for a moment. “I’m 16 this year. Isn’t it too early to find a partner?” Ye Nanyi said this, but she was already complaining in her heart. Why did people get married so early at this time? In her previous life, she was 30 and still unmarried. “It’s not too early. Look around early, so you can hold onto the good ones.” In her previous life, Ye Nanyi was an orphan, and her best friend was a single-minded person. The idea of being urged to get married was quite novel. “What are your requirements for your future partner?”

 Qi Aixiu’s question made Ye Nanyi think seriously. “He has to be handsome, filial to his parents, but not blindly filial. As for other things, I haven’t thought about it yet.” Qi Aixiu looked at Ye Nanyi with a mixture of emotions. “No, those are your only requirements? What about the dowry and handing over your wages?” Ye Nanyi was a little confused. “Ah! It’s just a partner, not marriage. Why are you talking about wages? Isn’t it too early? And shouldn’t the dowry be something the man gives?” Hearing this, Qi Aixiu thought that Ye Nanyi also had a point.

“Nanyi, I won’t say anything else, but you must bring up the matter of handing over your wages. Look at my children’s father. When he had money, he went out to mess around, doing crazy things every day. He ended up in jail.” Ye Nanyi thought this was true. Although she hadn’t eaten pork, the internet was developed in her previous life, and there were all sorts of bizarre things. “That’s right, men become bad when they have money.

Aixiu Jie, you’re right.” Qi Aixiu hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask Ye Nanyi. “Nanyi, my brother came back yesterday. How did you meet him?” Hearing the news, Ye Nanyi immediately became excited. She had forgotten that the dagger that killed Qi Erwa was still with him. She didn’t know if he had brought it back. If he had, she had to find a chance to take it back. “Nanyi, what are you thinking about?”
