Early the next morning, the Bai family's father and the Bai family's mother took the white peony to the grove by the river beach again.

This time, the three members of the Bai family did not come empty-handed. They brought gifts to the Zhao family: two old hens, a large basket of eggs, some brown sugar, snacks, noodles and other items.

Mrs. Bai squeezed out her face and said, "These are for Mr. Zhao's wife, let's go see the child too?"

You hurt people like that and you still have the nerve to look at it?

If you were really serious, you should have gone to see it when you came here yesterday. Now that you are asking for help from the Zhao family, you thought of going to visit.

Mr. Zhao's wife is getting much better and can occasionally get out of bed and move around, but she is still very weak.

When it came to the visit from the Bai family, Zhao's wife flatly refused. She didn't want to see them, and even Zhao refused to see them.

Zhao Datou knew his son's wife's feelings, so he politely declined.

According to Zhao Datou's intention, he didn't even want to accept those tonic gifts, but Si Sheng said: "That's what they owe Boss Zhao's wife, and this little thing can't make up for it at all."

After listening to Si Sheng's words, the Zhao family accepted the things brought by the Bai family with peace of mind.

Si Sheng and the others sat together with the Bai family to discuss matters again, but this time the atmosphere was much more harmonious. After the greetings, everyone smiled and turned to the topic.

Faced with Bai's father's hopeful, almost begging look, Zhao Datou lowered his eyelids and said, "Sorry, we can't recognize this marriage."

The light in the Bai family's father's eyes instantly went out, replaced by confusion and uneasiness. It seemed that he did not expect such a result, and he was so shocked that he couldn't find anything to say for a moment.

The Bai family's father and mother thought that Zhao Datou would definitely agree to the request of acknowledging their marriage. They even brought white peony with them when they came today. Once the other party agreed, they could hold a recognition ceremony at that time, but they did not expect that they would be rejected.

.

When the Bai family's father didn't say anything, she asked Zhao Datou eagerly: "Brother Zhao family, we are just acknowledging our relatives, and it won't affect the affairs of Mr. Zhao and his wife. Why can't we do it?"

Zhao Datou thought of the reason in a hurry, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "There are four young men in my family who are not married. Miss Bai is an eldest daughter. It is really... inconvenient for her to be with us."

The old lady of the Bai family said with a shy face: "What's the inconvenience? If Shaoyao comes with you, it must be with her godmother and two sisters-in-law. She will not interfere with the affairs of these godbrothers."

Bai Shaoyao also said: "Sister-in-law Zhao was injured because of me. I happened to take care of her along the way, so I can be considered an apology to her."

Niu Zhixin also hurriedly helped Zhao Datou, saying: "Actually, what Zhao Datou is most worried about is our future whereabouts. To tell you the truth, we haven't made up our mind to move west yet. If Miss Bai wants to go west, follow us.

It’s not necessarily the best choice.”

Bai Shaoyao said in shock: "Aren't you going to the west?"

Niu Zhixin said: "It hasn't been decided yet, and there is a possibility that I won't go."

When Bai Shaoyao heard this, he lowered his head and stopped fighting.

But the old lady of the Bai family started to talk in confusion, "This is a dead end again. What should we do? How can we get married if Shaoyao doesn't go to the west? What will we do in the future?"

No one answered Mrs. Bai's words, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the opportunity, Si Sheng asked the Bai family's wife, "Aunt Bai, do you really want to find a home for Miss Bai now?"

In front of these strangers, Mrs. Bai didn't hide anything, and said worriedly: "Yes, Shaoyao is already eighteen years old. All the girls in the village are getting married, and some of them have babies.

Shaoyao is like this, alas, the Zhou family has broken off the engagement again, and with this... this... things that are hard to explain, who will come to ask for marriage?"

Bai Shaoyao ignored his mother's worries and just sat quietly with his head down, as if thinking about something important.

Si Sheng glanced at Bai Shaoyao and said with a smile: "Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai, if a suitable family wants to marry Miss Bai, would you consider it?"

The Bai family's father and the Bai family's mother were stunned for a moment, and then they became more energetic. "Are you telling the truth? Do you know a suitable family? They want to marry Shaoyao?"

Before Si Sheng could answer, Bai Shaoyao suddenly said: "Father, mother, they are foreigners. Where can I find a suitable family? I don't want to marry now."

The old lady of the Bai family slapped Bai Shaoyao hard on the back and said, "Damn it, dear girl, don't interrupt, just listen to what your Fourth Uncle Ye has to say."

The corner of Si Sheng's mouth twitched. What kind of seniority was being discussed? He called the Bai family's wife his aunt, but the Bai family's wife asked Bai Shaoyao to call him uncle. This seemed to be based on the seniority of Mr. Zhao. Could it be that the Bai family's wife still

Have you given up on marrying Shaoyao to Boss Zhao?

Si Sheng said hurriedly: "Aunt Bai, I know a little brother. He is twenty years old this year and has not yet been engaged. This young man has a good character and looks very talented. His family is relatively well-off. I didn't know you..."

The Bai family's wife was moved when she heard this, and said: "This age is a perfect match, and the conditions sound good, just call me..." The Bai family's wife thought of the key issue, stopped what she was about to say, and said worriedly:

"But Peony has such a good reputation..."

Si Sheng said: "Aunt Bai, don't worry. This little brother of mine has met Miss Bai and has deep admiration for her. He doesn't care about the true or false words of others."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, her eyes suddenly shone with surprise, and she said eagerly: "Is it true? He really doesn't care about that? That's great."

Bai Shaoyao emphasized in a cold voice: "Mother, I don't want to marry."

Mrs. Bai ignored Bai Shaoyao's words and asked Si Sheng, "Where does that child's family come from?"

Mrs. Bai thought that Si Sheng and the others were outsiders and probably didn't know anyone from the surrounding area, so she quickly said: "It doesn't matter if we live far away, as long as we are nice people and treat peony well."

Si Sheng smiled and said: "My little brother's family does live a bit far away. His family moved west."

Once she heard that she had moved to the west, Bai Shaoyao stopped making trouble. As long as she could go to the west, she would still have a chance.

Mrs. Bai is a little suspicious. Do Si Sheng and the others know people who migrated to the west?

Si Sheng said: "This little brother of mine just came back from the west and came here to do business. We just met yesterday. If Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai are willing, why don't we meet each other first?"

The father of the Bai family was also very excited. He thought that he had broken a road again, but he didn't expect that there was another village. "Is that person here now?"

Si Sheng smiled and nodded.

When the Bai family's parents saw the little brother Si Sheng was talking about, their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock.

"This is... Wang Shu?"

Wang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai, it's me."

Bai Shaoyao was also so surprised that her tears fell desperately like broken pearls. She looked at Wang Shu greedily and her lips were so trembling that she couldn't say a word.

Wang Shu had already seen White Peony behind the tree and heard that she was determined not to marry anyone else. However, when Si Sheng mentioned that she was from the west, he stopped talking, knowing that she still remembered her relationship with him.

After making the promise, I was so excited and sweet that I wished I could have gone forward and revealed that the little brother was me. I just remembered Si Sheng's arrangement and held it back.
