Chapter 127: Peacefully and Harmoniously
Li Junlu was having a headache. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I don't want to deal with it anymore, no matter what.” Marry if you want to marry. Just move into your husband's family as soon as possible. I don't want to worry about it anymore. He opened his eyes again and saw the badge and comb on the coffee table.
He thought they looked familiar.
“I've seen this badge somewhere.”
Ying Sisi suddenly remembered Grandma's words in the letter. She quickly put it away and said, “I found it in my room. It must be my father-in-law's.”
This badge is similar to the one that father Qin is wearing in the photo that hangs on the wall in the living room.
It definitely belongs to him.
Li Junlu didn't suspect anything. He didn't think about it anymore. “Have your parents-in-law come to stay with you?”
“No.”
Li Junlu said with a sigh, “You're smart. You listened to me and married well. Unlike your sister. She's stubborn and doesn't know what's good for her. Sigh, the engagement ceremony is at 9 am this weekend. Don't be late.”
Ying Sisi was speechless. She thought, my personality determines that I can get along well with whomever I marry.
You want me to go back, right? I'll bring Qin Yanci with me.
Let's see how you dare to boss me around.
Ying Sisi saw Li Junlu off.
She held the badge and thought back to his words. She had so many questions.
From his reaction, he recognized the badge.
What was Mom hiding a badge that she didn't want Dad to see?
And the ox horn comb. After the men in the village get engaged, the most common thing they buy for their women is a comb.
It's reasonably priced and expresses your heart.
But ox horn combs are quite expensive. Li Junlu is always so tight with his money. If he gave it to her, he should remember.
After all, he even remembers giving Mom two candies.
He told her that as a story.
So who gave Mom those two things?
“Could it be a potential partner of Mom's? She chose Dad, but then Dad betrayed her. Looking at the things from the past, she might think that the man who was rejected was the best. She looks at them every day, remembering him.”
“Ugh, how can I think about my mom that way? Mom is not a fickle person. Maybe these are Mom's own things. The badge is a badge of honor that she got when she was young. The ox horn comb is a rare item. She kept it for me as a dowry. As for why she didn't want Dad to see it, there may be another misunderstanding.”
Ying Sisi convinced herself. She put away the badge and the comb, then chopped the meat filling for the bread dumplings.
She was halfway through wrapping them when Qin Yanci returned. He was carrying a basket.
Ying Sisi smiled slightly. “What did you buy?”
Qin Yanci said, “Didn't we have to send the garlic to my teacher today? He gave me some dried apricots. They're quite sweet. You should like them.”
“I'm busy. Feed me.”
Qin Yanci's lips curved slightly. He washed his hands, removed the pits from the apricots, and brought them to her lips. She bit into it and chewed it twice. “Hmm, they're really sweet. Delicious. Your teacher is so polite. By the way, Li Yuwei is getting engaged to Feng Shuangxi next weekend. You should accompany me.”
Qin Yanci's eyes turned cold. “She's getting engaged? I…” He swallowed the words “don't want to go.” He changed the subject. “Didn't your family disagree?”
“They agreed again.”
Qin Yanci agreed to accompany her.
Ying Sisi taught him how to wrap ingot-shaped dumplings. “Fold it like this, then flip it like this. Then pinch it together. There you go.”
Qin Yanci caught on immediately. “I'll make them for you later.”
Ying Sisi's smile bloomed. “Okay!”
Ying Sisi was peacefully and harmoniously on her end.
~~~~~
Li Yuwei's side was shrouded in gloom. Because Song Hanmei got so angry that she was hospitalized, no one was preparing for her engagement ceremony. Li Junlu didn't care about anything either. She could only spend her own money and effort. It was tiring and stressful.
She complained to Feng Shuangxi.
Feng Shuangxi was in a lustful mood. He didn't say two words before pulling her into a small hotel.
Li Yuwei had to pay for the hotel room.
