Chapter 235: Engagement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon spotting Brother Shanmin in the vicinity, Su Ning’s countenance eased as she released a sigh of relief. She intended to provide her sister and Brother Shanmin an opportunity to converse privately.

Guiding Xiaoyu into the chamber, Su Ning suggested, “The hour grows late; shall we partake in some delectable yam bean candied haws?”

Innocently, Xiaoyu queried Su Ning, “Auntie, I haven’t even tagged you, and yet you’re preparing candied haws with yam beans for me?”

With a genial smile, Su Ning elucidated, “You’re already clasping Auntie’s hand, effectively tagging her. Abandon hesitation, and let us gather yam beans for crafting candied haws. The process demands significant effort.”

Frequently glancing back at Su Lan, Xiaoyu inquired, “Won’t you lend a hand?”

“Certainly, your mother will join us momentarily.”

Only then did Xiaoyu happily reenter the room.

Qian Shanmin and Su Lan’s conversation wasn’t lengthy, yet it covered all the topics they had wished to address. Despite being just 22 years old, Su Lan had already surpassed the age of first love awakening in ancient times. Her previous experience of a failed marriage had bestowed her with a composed outlook towards the prospect of remarrying.

Qian Shanmin, already a mature individual, managed to contain the elation simmering within him, focusing on what Su Lan had assured him.

Upon returning to the residence from the rear garden, Su Bin and his siblings congregated in the living room, awaiting their return.

Before his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Qian Shanmin intended to make yet another pledge.

With the unanimous approval of Su Bin and the rest, the relationship between Qian Shanmin and Su Lan was solidified.

The notion of their wedding, however, wasn’t pursued with urgency.

In fact, Su Bin believed that Qian Shanmin and his sister needed time to become acquainted with each other.

Qian Shanmin concurred wholeheartedly. His sole desire was to be with Su Lan; the timeline of their wedding, even if it spanned two years, was of little concern.

As the sun rose the following day, Su Bin personally journeyed to the village chief’s abode, enlisting him as a witness for his sister and Qian Shanmin’s engagement.

Thus, he assumed the role of a matchmaker.

The village chief eagerly embraced his position as a witness, his laughter resonating and playful jabs aimed at Qian Shanmin. At last, the clouds dispersed, unveiling the radiant moon.

Receiving presents from Su Bin, the village chief’s joy escalated further. He thumped his chest and declared, “Worry not, for I am the matchmaker; none in the village would dare to indulge in idle gossip!”

Any dissenting voice would be met with retribution as per the village’s regulations!

From that very instant, he pledged to prevent any transgressions against Su Bin’s family within the village’s confines.

The continuation of Su Bin’s residency within Qian Village became an immensely favorable circumstance.

Should Su Bin ascend to Primus status, the government pledged to finance the construction of a central square within the village.

Su Bin orchestrated this to ensure that the village chief would discourage gossip among the villagers and curtail any disturbances from his uncle’s household.

Particularly, when matters were brought up by their aunt, the village chief wielded the most influence.

Word of Qian Shanmin and Su Lan’s betrothal swiftly permeated the entire village.

Most villagers possessed a straightforward outlook. Upon learning of the engagement, the majority extended their heartfelt congratulations to Qian Shanmin and Su Lan.

Yet, a handful of small-minded individuals covertly indulged in mockery and derision.

Ms. Lin’s exasperation had reached a boiling point, tempting her to unleash a torrent of curses for a solid three days and nights. Her frustration stemmed from her failure to secure any of the desired advantages.

However, just before Ms. Lin could erupt into a fit of rage, the village chief interjected with a stern admonishment.

“Ms. Lin, heed my words!”

“Qian Shanmin and Su Lan are now betrothed, with me serving as their matchmaker.. Desist from any attempts to introduce your niece to Qian Shanmin!”
