After Fang Yan left, Yun Qilan collapsed on the rattan chair. With his eyes slightly closed, thousands of thoughts appeared in his mind, and the past was as if it were yesterday. That autocratic and unstoppable old lady has given her countless humiliations. At the beginning, in the Fang family, in front of the old lady, she had no dignity at all. As the saying goes, a mother is more precious than a son, but she only gave birth to a daughter, and it is conceivable that all she got was increased insult and discrimination.

Now, Yun Qilan is in a dilemma, facing this town, if she leaves a certain amount of trouble, it will be a lifelong regret to leave.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? That old woman is talking nonsense, she insults you, can't we just put up with it? ”

"So what? Scolding her for a while, or punching and kicking? ”

"Uh...... Let me think about it...... A few words of scolding, she will soon forget if it doesn't hurt or itch. It's better to push her down like last time...... Next time, you have to do it harder! ”

"No, you can't! She's older and I'm younger. If I do it to her, I don't know etiquette. Besides, what's like last time? I didn't do it at all last time, it was Fang Zhuo who pushed me, which indirectly caused the old lady of the Fang family to fall and injure herself. ”

Yun Qilan opened her eyes abruptly as she spoke, and she strongly opposed Xiaohui's suggestion.

"Sister, I found a problem."

"What?"

Yun Qilan looked up at Xiaohui in shock.

"I see you as if you're ...... Like Young Master Fang, oh, I'm not talking about Fang Zhuo, but ...... Young Master Fang Yan. ”

Xiaohui's words surprised Yun Qilan, but she didn't expect that the seemingly simple little girl was clever for a while. Yun Qilan thought to herself: Nonsense! I don't just like it, he's been living in my heart for ten years. That position is unshakable, and it is precisely because of this that it will feel painful to give up.

"Don't think about it, if you have time, you should think about it carefully, how to please Fang Zhuo."

Yun Qilan sat up straight as she spoke, and unconsciously glanced out the window. Before I know it, the night has already begun.

"Xiaohui, are you calling it a day?"

Yun Qilan finally remembered to ask.

"Yes, I finished work early today, Fang Zhuo went home early, and said it was...... His old mother will have her birthday tomorrow, so she has to prepare. ”

"Oh? Why haven't I heard him mention it? ”

"Really? Hey, great! ”

"Xiaohui, what do you mean?"

Yun Qilan looked at Xiaohui suspiciously again.

"You don't understand this, she only told me one person, what does this mean?"

Xiaohui smiled brightly, looked at Yun Qilan and asked rhetorically.

"Oh, I see! Congratulations, future hostess. ”

Yun Qilan clenched her fists with both hands, and made a congratulatory gesture with a smile on her face. Regardless of the outcome, she still decided to make this simple girl happy first. Xiaohui was so happy that she got carried away, as if she had imagined the happy moment of being a bride.

"Sister, I want to ask you, bride...... How should I serve tea to my mother-in-law? ”

Xiaohui's question stunned Yun Qilan, it wasn't that she didn't understand those etiquettes, but this question touched her wound. Yun Qilan stood at the table with a blank expression, Xiao Hui looked at the words for a while, and finally decided not to ask any more.

"Oops, look at my foolishness! My sister hasn't been married yet, how can I know! ”

"Uh...... yes, I don't understand either. Xiaohui, come out for a walk with me, and have dinner at a restaurant in the town by the way. ”

"Huh? Sister, I've only been here for a long time, and I haven't paid my salary yet......"

"Haha, silly girl! Sister won't let you have a treat, what are you afraid of? ”

"Hehe, I'm relieved!"

After listening to Yun Qilan's explanation, Xiaohui smiled innocently again. Yun Qilan patted her on the shoulder, giving her confidence and warmth again. In this way, the two of them washed up briefly, changed their clothes and walked to the street. That meal, sure enough, was invited by Yun Qilan, and Xiaohui ate very happily.

At this time, it was also dinner time in the Fang family's old mansion. Fang Yan was invited, and the old lady lived in the courtyard. On the table of the Eight Immortals in the huge hall, the cups, plates and dishes were already full, and the burst of aroma that penetrated into the nostrils could not arouse Fang Yan's appetite. He sat next to Leng Chunzhu, opposite his mother.

Zi Yan sat next to the old lady, the child has learned much more well-behaved recently, and before the elders did not use chopsticks, she would never eat even if she was hungry.

Old Madam Fang's special seat was covered with three layers of thick cotton cushions. Two small benches were specially placed at her feet to prevent her legs from hanging and getting tired and painful.

Because of Xiaohui's departure, there is no girl by the old lady's side. Leng Chunzhu intended to transfer Chunye, but was sternly rejected by Fang Yan, so he had no choice but to transfer the kitchen helper Sister-in-law Zhang.

Sister-in-law Zhang is a capable but taciturn person, which is also what Fang Yan is more satisfied with. After the food was served, Sister-in-law Zhang stood beside the old lady respectfully.

The vast space was filled with silence. Finally, it was the old lady who broke the silence, and she was the first to pick up the chopsticks. Xiao Ziyan's eyes were good, and she picked up the chopsticks and was ready to go.

"Let's start eating now, and as for the engagement ceremony, we'll discuss it after dinner. Sister-in-law Zhang, pour me a glass of wine, and then fill a small glass for the young master. ”

The old lady said, turning to look at Sister-in-law Zhang.

"Yes".

Sister-in-law Zhang answered, and then began to pour wine.

"Zi Yan, good boy, let's eat quickly."

The old lady looked at Zi Yan, and her weather-beaten eyes flashed with kindness and kindness for the first time in half a day. In fact, over the years, on the whole, the old lady has been quite good to this granddaughter. After all, blood is thicker than water, and besides, the Fang family only has such a little blood now.

Zi Yan got permission and couldn't wait to shake off her cheeks. Leng Chunzhu also followed the old lady's eyes, and she also began to pick up vegetables and send them to her mouth.

Although Fang Yan couldn't see it, he could hear the sound of pouring wine. When the cup in front of him was full, he said "thank you" to Sister-in-law Zhang, and then quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Dad is amazing!"

Zi Yan applauded Fang Yan, while the old lady and Leng Chunzhu looked at them in surprise. Fang Yan is usually not strong enough to drink, at most a small glass, and they are all drunk slowly. One of the phrases he often puts on his lips is "a drink is enough".

"Sister-in-law Zhang, have another drink. No, no, change the tea bowl! ”

Fang Yan put down the wine glass and instructed Sister-in-law Zhang.

"Yes, young master! I'll pour you tea."

"No, you're mistaken, I'm talking about pouring wine from a tea bowl."

Fang Yan was explaining to Sister-in-law Zhang, Old Madam Fang and Leng Chunzhu stopped their chopsticks at the same time, and their eyes focused on Fang Yan's face.

"Yan'er, are you crazy? If you are dissatisfied, you can make it clear to your face, and it is not a gentleman to use wine to drown your sorrows! ”

Old Madam Fang was full of anger again, wanting to reprimand her son.

"Haha, Mom, you also misunderstood! I am happy, very happy today, I have decided to get engaged as soon as possible! You can let me have a drink today! Sister-in-law Zhang, change the tea bowl! ”

Fang Yan's emotions became excited, but Old Madam Fang once again hung her heart.
