Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 484 - 483: Want to Hear Your Thoughts (1)
Shen Qinglan still shook her head in refusal, causing the three people present to be both amused and exasperated.
"What about Xiao Li? Is she doing well?" Shen Qinghe asked.
"She’s fine!" Dong Yao replied, "She’s resting at home."
Shen Qinghe nodded, suddenly looking at Shen Qinglan with a raised eyebrow and smiling, "What about Young Master Duan? Didn’t he come back with you?"
"He did," Shen Qinglan said, "He’s at the Duan Mansion."
Shen Qingju laughed, "The date has been set, so next year, we’ll have a wedding banquet to attend."
"Huh?" Shen Qinghe was surprised, "Are you talking about Qinglan?"
Shen Qingju chuckled softly, "Who else did you think it was?"
Shen Qinghe frowned, "When did this happen? Mother came, but she didn’t mention a word to me?"
"It was just decided last night," Dong Yao replied, "There wasn’t even time to mention it yet. Your grandparents, they don’t know either."
"Have the betrothal gifts been given?" Shen Qinghe asked again.
Dong Yao said, "February fifth, in three days."
Shen Qinghe, still smiling, took Shen Qinglan’s hand and gently fixed the hair before her forehead, saying, "The last girl of the Shen family is finally getting married!"
Dong Yao laughed, "Once she’s married, in your generation, it’ll only be your second brother, Qingping, and Qing’an left."
Speaking of Shen Qingning, Shen Qinghe couldn’t help shaking her head, "Second Brother, I don’t know what he’s thinking. Just the other day, my mother tried to find out about the girls in the nearby village for him again, and he turned them all down, saying he didn’t want to."
"Forget it!" Dong Yao sighed lightly, "Let him be, we’ll wait until he figures it out."
"But what if he never figures it out in his whole life?" Shen Qinghe was helpless, "He’s already twenty-three. If he doesn’t marry soon, all the good girls will end up in someone else’s family."
Shen Qinglan’s eyelids twitched, but she said nothing.
Thinking back to her past life, she hadn’t even dated a boyfriend at twenty-eight, and Shen Qingning was being rushed to marry at twenty-three. How pitiful!
"You can’t force him at knife-point, can you?" Dong Yao sighed faintly, "Let him be."
"What’s going on?" Madam Jiang came in with chicken soup, "Why all the sighing?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Nothing," Shen Qinghe smiled, "We were just talking about my second brother."
"Qingning, huh?" Madam Jiang chuckled softly, "Your second brother is a smart man, he has his own thoughts, no need to worry."
She handed the chicken soup to Shen Qinghe, then looked at Dong Yao and the other two girls, "Would you three like a bowl as well?"
The three simultaneously shook their heads, Dong Yao smiled, "We had our fill before coming, we’re not hungry."
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang laughed, "Then I won’t trouble myself further."
"Mother, Qinghe!"
Madam Jiang had just sat down when Jiang Ming’s voice came from outside.
Shen Qinghe laughed, "That’s your brother-in-law back home."
Everyone looked towards the door, and sure enough, not only Jiang Ming but Shen Qingning had also arrived.
Dong Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Look at that, just talking about him and here he is."
"When did you two come back?" Shen Qingning, upon entering, looked at the two with surprise.
Shen Qinglan nodded, "Second cousin, brother-in-law."
Shen Qingju said, "We just got back home yesterday."
Jiang Ming greeted them quickly, "Second Aunt, cousins."
Dong Yao nodded and smiled, "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Ming nodded, "Yes, we ate before heading back."
He glanced at Shen Qinghe, who was chatting with Shen Qingning, and then looked at the child in Dong Yao’s arms, a tender smile on his handsome face.
"Why are you still standing there?" Madam Jiang gave him a sidelong glance, "Aren’t you going to sit down?"
Jiang Ming scratched his head at her words, then sat down beside Madam Jiang.
Madam Jiang looked at Shen Qingning, "Qingning, you sit too. Just perfect, Aunt has something to ask you."
