Xie Jingzi was struggling internally, fearing on one hand that her parents and older brothers would be angry with her for not formally discussing such an important occasion as her engagement with them in advance.
On the other hand, she also worried that after she got engaged and registered her marriage, her parents might no longer dote on her as they used to.
After all, her second sister’s marriage did not start off well, but no matter what grievances the second sister endured in the beginning, Dad always suppressed her from making a fuss.
This gave her the impression that "a married daughter is like spilled water," because that’s how all the girls in the Qingyun Team were treated.
What she didn’t know was that the Xie Family felt particularly guilty about her for this very reason.
Yan Jinsu also felt apologetic. If it hadn’t been for Xiaojiu and Xiao Ba adding fuel to the fire, little aunt’s big day would not have ended up as an awkward occasion where not a single member of the Xie Family was present.
It was still the holiday season at that time, and train tickets were hard to come by. Besides, who should go? No one seemed appropriate to attend.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhenghui said that it was just a small ceremony within the Zhou family, and if it was a formal wedding, there certainly would be relatives from the bride’s side present.
However, waiting for Xie Jingzi’s wedding banquet was really a bit tricky. After all, Xie Jingzi was still in college, and the wedding banquet, barring any accidents, would only take place after she graduated.
But Yan Jinsu, seeing the couple’s affectionate demeanor, wondered how Zhou Zhenghui would be able to hold back.
Yan Jinsu glanced at her husband sideways, and suddenly, she came to a realization.
With a husband who loves her deeply and takes good care of her, why should she worry too much?
Xie Jingchen saw his little wife’s black pupils spinning nonstop, unsure what was on her mind, but that didn’t prevent the family from having an enjoyable chat.
Perhaps sensing the lively noise from outside, Little Shier woke up, still dazed and murmuring "Mommy."
Although the bedroom door was still closed, both Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen had acute hearing.
As soon as Little Shier called out, Xie Jingchen heard it. He stood up and said to his youngest brother-in-law and his wife, "You guys sit for a bit, I’ll go check on Xiaojiu and Little Shier."
Yan Jinsu had already smiled and nodded at them, slowly getting up, and Xie Jingchen, after finishing speaking, helped his little wife into the inner room.
The sound inside was too soft, Xie Jingzi didn’t hear anything at all, and Zhou Zhenghui, with his attention focused on his woman, also didn’t have the devilish hearing like the Xie couple and didn’t hear it either.
Now seeing the couple leaving together, he just thought that Third Uncle just wanted to give them some private time.
Wang Chunmei, always attentive to the situation in the main house, noticed that both Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law had returned to their room, and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly continuing to help Nanny Chen prepare a big meal.
After living together for two months, Wang Chunmei really liked the Xie Family. Now seeing her once close sister treating her with such indifferent detachment, it was truly hard for her to take.
