The next day.
Kang Bo returned with a dark face.
“What happened? Didn’t you go on a blind date? Did you mess it up?” Kang Er Zheng asked softly.
“It wasn’t me who messed it up, it was Dad who was tricked.” Azu said, spreading his hands.
“What happened?” Kang Er Zheng asked.
“The matchmaking agency Dad found wasn’t legitimate, they were a scam. The woman they introduced to him was the same one who had blind dates with Big Brother and Third Brother. Now they are introducing her to me. Plus, this woman is already married and has children.” Azu explained softly.
Kang Qi Zheng’s gaze turned to Kang Bo.
Kang Bo’s face was looking quite bad at this moment.
“A fake date?” Kang Er Zheng said.
“It should be.” Azu nodded.
“That’s really unlucky.” Kang Er Zheng shrugged.
Seeing Kang Bo so depressed, they didn’t go to bother him.
The next day.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Third Uncle brought a beautiful girl back.” Tian Xiu suddenly called out.
Kang Er Zheng, who was looking at the newspaper, also looked back. It was Ah Yao who had brought Xing Zi to the door.
Since they had come to the door, it meant that he really wanted to be with Xing Zi.
“Little Uncle, remember to help speak up later.” Ah Yao whispered to Kang Er Zheng, pleading with him.
“Sigh. Alright.” Kang Er Zheng was somewhat helpless.
This family can’t get along without me, it will fall apart.
The rest of the family heard Tian Xiu’s voice and ran out.
“Where did the beautiful girl come from?” Ah Zong, hearing there was a beauty, rushed out to see the beauty.
“Second Brother, Kang Bo, Bo Kang Mu, Second Sister-in-Law, Azu, Little Uncle, hello.” Xing Zi greeted them.
It could be said that Xing Zi was very polite.
Thinking it was someone else, Kang Bo’s face fell when he saw it was Xing Zi.
“Why don’t you call me when you see me?” Tian Xiu was unhappy when he heard that Xing Zi hadn’t called him.
“Impoliteness. You are a child, you should call the aunt first.” Ah Yao said.
“Right.” Ah Zong nodded.
“When I go to other people’s houses, I’m the one who calls others first.” Tian Xiu said.
“Stop it.” Ah Zong was a bit embarrassed and quickly stopped him.
“This little friend is very cute, he wants equality at such a young age.” Xing Zi squatted in front of Tian Xiu and said with a smile.
Tian Xiu really was cute.
“I found out that you really like to make surprise attacks.” Ah Zong and Azu walked to Ah Yao’s side, winking and teasing.
“This isn’t called a surprise attack, it’s called an unexpected surprise.” Azu said with a grin.
Kang Bo didn’t care at all. He sat in his armchair and lay down, reading the newspaper.
Second Sister-in-Law was unhappy seeing everyone’s eyes focused on Xing Zi.
“Mom, come and sit here.” Second Sister-in-Law pulled the mother over and sat her in the parental position.
The mother sat in the parental position.
She didn’t have any ill feelings towards Xing Zi.
But as a housewife, she listened to Kang Bo’s words in matters of the family.
“Father, Mother, I don’t know what to bring you as a gift. I know you value auspiciousness the most, so I brought you two auspicious cards.” Xing Zi took two cards out of her pocket.
These were insurance cards issued by an insurance company.
Holding the cards, Xing Zi wanted to give them to Kang Bo.
Kang Bo just glanced at them and made no move, continuing to read the newspaper in his hand.
Xing Zi was a bit embarrassed.
Seeing Xing Zi’s awkwardness, Ah Yao also walked over quickly.
“This kind of card is best for the elderly, just as a way to buy peace.” Ah Yao explained, holding the card in his hand.
Knowing that his father wouldn’t accept it, he gave it to his mother.
“Ma Zi, you take this.”
“Thank you.” The mother also nodded with a smile and accepted.
“It’s nothing, just a small gesture.” Xing Zi felt a little better seeing the mother accept.
“Why don’t I have a gift?” Tian Xiu saw that Grandma had a gift, and he wanted one too.
“You little rascal, what are you saying?” Ah Zong rebuked.
“Next time, next time, I’ll bring you one, okay?” Xing Zi didn’t get angry, but was rather happy.
“Sit down and chat.” Kang Er Zheng looked at Kang Bo, then said with a smile.
Big Brother and Big Sister-in-Law didn’t object, he was the biggest elder in the Kang family, so nobody opposed when he spoke.
Ah Yao and Xing Zi sat on the two single sofas beside each other.
Kang Er Zheng sat on the long sofa close to Kang Bo.
Azu sat in the middle, Ah Zong sat close to the telephone end.
Second Sister-in-Law deliberately sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Second Brother.
No one knew why she chose to sit there.
“Kang Bo, did you just come back from drinking morning tea?” Xing Zi asked ingratiatingly.
Kang Bo said nothing and continued reading the newspaper.
“Why are you still reading the newspaper?” The mother said kindly.
“I haven’t finished it yet.” Kang Bo said impatiently.
Everyone could hear the displeasure in his tone.
“Big Brother, what news is so interesting? Let me see.” Kang Er Zheng took the newspaper.
Kang Bo glared at Kang Er Zheng, quite helpless.
He still looked to the other side, tilting his head.
Kang Er Zheng was helpless. His big brother was like an old child, very childish.
Seeing Kang Bo like this, Second Sister-in-Law knew what she had to do.
“You ‘Lao Mei’ don’t know if you have the habit of drinking morning tea, do you?” Second Sister-in-Law deliberately asked, emphasizing Lao Mei.
Second Sister-in-Law’s Lao Mei didn’t know if it meant “outsider” or “捞妹” (捞妹, which sounds like “Lao Mei” but has a different meaning, a term for a woman who is easy to get).
The latter term, “捞妹”, wasn’t very good.
“We drink afternoon tea.” Xing Zi’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment, then quickly smoothed out.
But her face looked a little bad.
“Listen, how good at socializing she is.” Second Sister-in-Law deliberately patted Ah Zong.
Ah Zong held his cup and smiled awkwardly.
Azu rubbed his nose and was speechless.
“Second Sister-in-Law, calling her ‘Lao Mei’ isn’t good.” Kang Er Zheng reminded.
“Why not? We call them that here.” Second Sister-in-Law said nonchalantly.
“But you really know how to enjoy yourselves, you ‘Lao Mei’ are very ‘bold’.” Second Sister-in-Law continued.
Every word seemed to have a barb.
“Second Sister-in-Law, Xing Zi went there to talk business.” Ah Yao defended Xing Zi.
“It’s not about you, why are you butting in?” Kang Bo scolded.
Ah Yao lowered his head.
“We aren’t your guests, you don’t have to invite us to drink tea.” Second Sister-in-Law deliberately said.
“That’s not true, I’m planning to invite everyone to drink morning tea on Saturday this time.” Xing Zi suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile.
She was indeed someone in sales, very good at controlling her emotions.
“Really? Why are you being so polite?” Ah Zong said with a smile.
“Miss, don’t be afraid to say it, our Ah Yao has a lot of people chasing him in Yangcheng.” The mother said.
“Yeah, this stinky kid is really lucky, the girls chasing him line up from Shangxiajiu to Ximenkou.” Kang Bo said casually.
“Shangxiajiu, Ximenkou? Those sound like two people.” Kang Er Zheng suddenly thought of two people.
“Dad, don’t talk nonsense.” Ah Yao quickly explained.
His girlfriend now was Xing Zi.
“How can it be nonsense? I don’t believe you, I’ll call a few girls over.” Second Sister-in-Law was about to find a few girls who chased Ah Yao.
“Second Sister-in-Law, don’t do this.” Ah Yao quickly stopped Second Sister-in-Law.
“Of course I believe it. Ah Yao told me, he has a lot of people chasing him.” Xing Zi’s smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered and still spoke for Ah Yao. “But he doesn’t like any of them.”
“Our girls in Yangcheng are very traditional, they rarely take the initiative to chase boys, but if it’s ‘Lao Mei’, then it’s different. They are very proactive, how can a man resist that?” Second Sister-in-Law continued to ridicule Xing Zi.
Kang Er Zheng was helpless.
Did Second Sister-in-Law have a grudge against Xing Zi in her past life?
Why was she so persistent?
Kang Er Zheng nudged Azu.
Azu nudged Ah Zong.
Ah Zong had no choice but to pull Second Sister-in-Law.
Second Sister-in-Law glanced over, pretending not to see it.
“It wasn’t me who chased Ah Yao first.” Even with Xing Zi’s good temper, she was about to break down now, her face fell, she was very aggrieved.
“So that means Ah Yao chased you first?” The mother asked with a smile.
“Yeah, Ma Zi, I chased Xing Zi first.” Ah Yao nodded and replied.
“Now girls have thin skin. Even if they chased their husbands first, they have to say that he chased me.” Second Sister-in-Law still wouldn’t let go of her chance to ridicule.
“Second Sister-in-Law, were you like that back then?” Azu teased.
“She wasn’t, she was a ‘飞禽大咬’ (fei qin da yao).” Ah Zong said with a laugh.
“Go to hell, you ungrateful wretch.” Second Sister-in-Law was unhappy and hit Ah Zong.
“A good girl like Xing Zi has a lot of pursuers, Ah Yao is really capable, he’s able to get her favor among many rivals. He’s really capable.” Kang Er Zheng said with a smile.
Hearing Kang Er Zheng’s words, Xing Zi felt a little better.
“Humph, dating is the most ignorant, a sow is a beauty, even if you pick it up, you’ll cry three times.” Kang Bo snorted coldly.
Kang Er Zheng was helpless.
Xing Zi’s face fell again.
She looked very aggrieved.
