"all……"

Er'er was wearing a little skirt and flying around in the yard like a butterfly.

Hearing a man's voice, I was a little confused.

The next second, Er Er smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, you're here?"

I saw a man wearing a emerald green round-necked robe, a leather belt around his waist, an exquisite jade pendant, a low round fu hat on his head, and black boots on his feet.

There is nothing wrong with the dress, but this person is a bit dark, and wearing these dark-looking clothes makes him look even darker.

"Brother Zhong."

The original owner's fiancé, the son of Xu Yinli's immediate superior.

Xu Yiyi was still thinking about how to deal with this marriage these past two days when the person involved came over.

Getting married is too unrealistic for her current situation. Xu Yiyi does not want to get married and live with her younger sister and brother in someone else's home.

Another thing is that in the original owner's memory, the fiancé's grandmother and mother were not generous people.

Because of the unequal status of the two families, Xu Yiyi, a girl from a small fishing village, is not worthy of the promising Zhong Congyun.

The two were never very satisfied with this marriage, but because it was a decision made by Zhong Congyun's father, Zhong Xiang, they did not dare to object.

Seeing Xu Yiyi not as enthusiastic as before, Zhong Congyun felt uncomfortable.

He was even more disgusted by what his mother said.

Yi Yi's father just passed away, and his mother is gone too. If he comes to cancel the engagement at this time, it will be a huge blow.

"Yi Yi, are you okay? I heard your father passed away, so I wanted to come see you, but my mother is sick and I can't get away."

Zhong Congyun hurriedly explained that he did not mean to be absent.

But his mother is seriously ill, and as a son he has to fulfill his filial duty.

It has been more than a month since Xu Yinli passed away, and no one, neither Zhong Xiang, his immediate superior, nor the Zhong family, who were related to the Xu family, has come to visit him.

Zhan Jilan, who had just finished her confinement, was able to drag herself to find another job, and Zhong Congyun was not the only one in the Zhong family.

The Zhong family hasn't shown up for more than a month.

Xu Yiyi could guess what the reason was.

He simply felt that there was no value in making friends with him. Xu Yinli only held a small official position, but he had a very good relationship with the Zhecho Duwei. Zhong Xiang noticed this and often approached Xu Yinli, taking the opportunity to show off in front of the Zhecho Duwei.

The marriage between Xu Yiyi and Zhong Congyun was also facilitated on this basis.

Now that Xu Yinli has passed away, Zhong Xiang doesn't even bother to show his respect.

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't come."

Xu Yiyi was stunned for a moment when he heard the bell ringing. The original owner must have liked him.

That kind of love stays in my heart for a long time.

But Xu Yiyi was not interested in him because he was too cowardly.

Standing there for a short while, the words I said were at least ten times more embarrassing.

"Do you want to fetch water? My mother said you girls don't have enough strength, so I'll help you."

What he said was quite positive. An eighteen-year-old man couldn't even lift a bucket of water. If Xu Yiyi hadn't gone up to help, Zhong Congyun would have fallen into the well.

After being embarrassed for a while, Zhong Congyun saw Xu Yiyi cleaning up the fish on the ground and went forward to show his courtesy.

Er'er, the little butterfly, sat in the yard holding the newly awakened Wu Yuan, with a hint of confusion on her face.

If the elder sister is not angry, why doesn’t she want to pay attention to Brother Zhong?

"Abalone? There are so many of them. It's great that you live by the sea. Unlike us in town, we have to go out to buy everything we want to eat. My mother likes abalone. I'll bring some back to her and she'll get better faster..."

Watching Xu Yiyi clean an abalone, Zhong Congyun took it and put it in the bucket.

Xu Yiyi originally planned to ignore it, but she couldn't help it after hearing this.

He said in a sarcastic tone: "Is abalone a miracle doctor? If she is sick, she should go get treatment. Eating too much abalone will only make her illness worse."

Zhong Congyun looked at Xu Yiyi's sarcastic expression and was unable to react for a moment.

"Yi Yi, how can you talk like that? My mother didn't offend you. If you're in a bad mood, you can vent your anger, but you can't talk about my mother. After we get married, my mother will be your mother-in-law. If you say something like that, it's a great act of treason."

He has the pedantic nature of a scholar. Zhong Congyun is not a scholar, so how could he be so dull?

Xu Yiyi was already very polite in letting the person in. The Zhong family was used to taking advantage of the Xu family.

The original owner was too generous ever since she got engaged to Zhong Congyun.

Every time Zhong Congyun came, he would take away a lot of seafood from the house.

I just take whatever is most expensive, and over time it becomes a habit.

Otherwise, Zhong Congyun wouldn't have said those words so naturally just now.

"Get lost! What nonsense are you talking about? You're really taking advantage of me! If you want to eat abalone, you can! Pay for it!"

Xu Yiyi's unfamiliarity made Zhong Congyun a little at a loss.

He ran away without saying a word.

Er'er's mind was in a mess. Doesn't the elder sister like Brother Zhong?

Why are you arguing now?

"Sister, won't Brother Zhong be angry?"

Er'er didn't have a good impression of Zhong Congyun at first, but since her elder sister liked him, she tried to accept him.

Now she doesn't hate Zhong Congyun as much as before, and seeing her elder sister quarreling with Zhong Congyun feels like a dream.

"Who cares? A grown man can't stand a word from him. And I'm right. He's always thinking about getting things from our family for free. These are all things we worked hard to get. It's safest to eat them yourself."

She didn't comment on the original owner's actions, but she would never give anything to such a person.

"Sister, you have changed. You didn't say that before."

Er'er remembered that her eldest sister was always thinking about the Zhong family. Whenever she saw good goods while fishing, she would not sell them but give them directly to the Zhong family.

She still remembers it to this day. One time, they found something on the beach, and they went to Zhong's house without changing their clothes, but they were not even allowed in.

It was the hottest time of the summer, with the sun right above my head. I took my things and closed the door.

Not even a sip of water, not even a word of thank you.

She originally wanted to curse a few words, but when she saw that her elder sister was unhappy, she gave up.

"The past is the past. I have come to terms with it now. From now on, I will leave all the food at home for you to eat and not give it to outsiders."

Er'er was very happy. She felt that her elder sister was very good now.

On the other side, Zhong Congyun ran out but did not wait for Xu Yiyi to come out to chase him. He was too embarrassed to go back, so he had to row the boat back to town.

He was not angry, but felt that Xu Yiyi was going too far.

His mother is strong-willed, and if he is not at home after marriage, the two of them will inevitably quarrel.

By then, the relationship between the family members will be hurt.

Thinking of this, Zhong Congyun decided to wait for two days until Xu Yiyi's anger subsided, and then talk to her about it. She needed to control her temper.

This is fine in front of him, but you still have to learn to be tolerant in front of your elders.
