Chapter 156 - 156

Chapter 156 The Two Brothers Become Hot CommoditiesAs for the scarves, shawls, and gloves, Yun Tingplans to leave a few for her mother, older sister, and sister-in-law. She'll ask her older sister if she wants to buy the rest, as she works at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and can try to sell them to customers. It all depends on whether she dares to do so.Before going home, she took the opportunity to get a few pounds of mutton, a chicken, a duck, and two pounds of pork belly from her online space. She also took some braised beef that she had made in her online space before.When she returned to Family Compound, a nosy old lady stared at her basket and asked, " Yun Family's Fourth Child, what did you buy?"Her basket was covered, so she couldn't see what was inside, but Yun Ting didn't intend for her to see it."Aunt Fan, I don't have much. I just bought some odds and ends at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I'm heading back now; it's quite cold outside. You should go back too!""Tch... They won't let you see, there must be something they're trying to hide." The old woman said disdainfully after she walked away.Yun Ting is quite perceptive when it comes to judging people. She could tell at a glance that Aunt Fan was someone who loved to take advantage and was a gossip. She often heard her mother explaining to them at home who to watch out for in the Family Compound, and Aunt Fan was one of those people.She always tries to rummage through things that someone brings home, and if someone is shy, she'll always manage to take something from them.Mother Yun's eyes widened when she saw that she had brought back such a large basket of meat.Thinking of something, her expression immediately changed, and she said fiercely, "You little brat, didn't I tell you not to go to that place? Why don't you ever listen?""Mom, don't worry, I know people here. Besides, it's not as strict as it used to be. The policy has been relaxed. After the New Year, you'll see some small vendors outside. They're not cracking down on them anymore.""That's true. Who knows if things will change? We've seen it all before."Yun Ting also understands her mother's concerns; if she didn't know the course of history, she wouldn't be so calm."How much money have you spent? Do you have any money left? We still have roast duck! You just keep buying things recklessly." Mother Yuntook the meat out of the basket and arranged it neatly, nagging as she did so."Mom, don't worry, I'll ask you for money if I need it, haha...""Mom, this is delicious, you should try it." Yun Ting picked up a piece of braised beef and put it into Mother Yun's mouth."Auntie, auntie... I want to eat too.""Oh! Little girl, you're awake?" Yun Ting also gave her a small piece of braised beef, and worried that she might choke, so she specifically told her, "Be careful, chew slowly, don't choke.""Mmm...it's delicious."Well, here comes another foodie.Yun Huai The two brothers, Yun and Xu, have both gone out and rarely come back. Their mother, Yun, hasn't bothered to keep an eye on them, since they're both grown up anyway."Does your second brother have a girlfriend? He's getting on in years, it's really worrying.""Mom, my second brother is so outstanding, why would he be afraid of not finding a wife? Don't worry, when the time is right, he will naturally bring her home.""You've seen him?"Yun Ting shook her head. "No, every time I mention this, my second brother always tells me not to worry about these things at such a young age. But I feel that my second brother definitely has a girl he likes.""Oh! My little sister is talking bad about me again..." Yun Huai had just returned home when she heard what she said as soon as she entered the door.Yun Ting didn't feel embarrassed; what she said was the truth."How is this bad talk? I'm just telling the truth."Yun Huai lightly flicked her forehead. "You found out again?""Second son, tell Mom, is there a girl you like?Aunt Fang said if you don't, she'll introduce you to a girl from her hometown. She's a really nice girl."Yun Huai said helplessly, "Mom, I'm not considering marriage for now."He didn't answer the first question. He did have a girl he liked, but... he didn't know if there was any possibility between them.Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.Yun Ting, with her sharp eyes, noticed something. What exactly was going on between her second brother and that girl? His mouth was so tight, she couldn't pry it open at all. It was driving her crazy."Hey, you're not getting any younger, when are you going to get married? If you find the right person, you can settle down. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who cares about you?""Mom, I know what I'm doing."Mother Yun didn't say anything more. She respected her children. Since they didn't want to, she wouldn't urge them. The children were grown up and had their own ideas.Mother Yun isn't going to press them anymore, but many people are getting restless. In the past two days, quite a few people have come to visit, all asking if Yun Huai and Yun Xu have partners, and expressing their desire to introduce them.Yun Huai The Yun brothers were extremely uncomfortable at home, constantly trying to signal to their mother with their eyes. However,whether Mother Yun was doing it on purpose or genuinely didn't see it, she continued chatting enthusiastically with someone else."Sigh, kids grow up and have their own ideas. My kids all say they want to find someone like-minded, someone they can talk to, someone they like. I can't control them anymore, so I just let them be."When Mother Yun said this, all the aunties were stunned. How could they let the children make their own decisions about their marriage?" Yun Mus name! That's not how it works. Thesechildren are young, what do they know? Parents still need to vet them well, and it's best to know them inside and out."The person who said this was Aunt Yan fromFamily Compound. She came this time to introduce her granddaughter to Yun Huai. Her granddaughter works in a textile factory and is nineteen years old this year. She should have been looking for a husband long ago. Her family has always wanted to find someone with better conditions, so they have been keeping her until now. Yun Huai has become their target.How could Mother Yun not know what she was thinking? The abacus beads were practically slamming into her face. She knew about her granddaughter, but to be honest, she didn't even like her. Not to mention her second son, who was timid and hesitant, always speaking as if he hadn't eaten, and always looking like he was about to cry. Marrying someone like that would ruin her mood."Sigh, children grow up and are no longer under their mother's control. As long as they are well in the future, that's all that matters. As for me, I don't care about so much. I'm happy to have a peaceful life."Mother Yun was just pretending not to understand what she meant.Aunt Yan didn't care about anything else at this moment and directly stated the purpose of her visit, " Yun Mu's name! Your intimate reference to Yun Huai is a boy we've watched grow up. My Qiu Li is not much older than him, and they are both good children. We know each other very well. What do you think about letting them give each other a try?""Grandma Yan, I'm sorry, I have a girl I like, so please don't try to match us up."Before Mother Yun could speak, Yun Huaidirectly refused.Aunt Yan's face immediately darkened."Young man, finding a partner isn't just about liking someone. Look at my Qiuli..."Before she could finish speaking, Yun Huaiimpatiently interrupted, "Grandma Yan, it's impossible for me to be with your granddaughter. I can make my own decisions about my marriage. Even my parents can't interfere, let alone anyone else."His words left no room for saving face."Fine, we're not good enough for your family, hmph..." Grandma Yan stormed off in anger."Oh, Aunt Yan... Child is just being silly, please don't get angry!" Mother Yun then saw the person to the door.Seeing that things were not going well, the other two aunties also hurriedly said that they had other things to do and left.
