Qi Ning looked at Lu Yiheng but did not answer immediately.

Seeing Qi Ning remain silent, Lu Yiheng's eyes darkened, but he managed a smile: "It's alright, it's fine if you don't want to. I'll head back now, you don't need to see me off."

Qi Ning then burst out laughing: "Are you stupid? I just said that my work at home is done and that you don't need to come over tomorrow. You can rest at home. I didn't say anything else."

"Then, what do you mean?" Lu Yiheng was a little unsure.

Qi Ning raised her chin, no longer trying to hide anything, and said directly, "Come to my house to propose marriage once you've rested enough."

"Propose marriage?" Lu Yiheng looked at Qi Ning in surprise.

“Yes.” Qi Ning nodded. “If you really want to be with me and marry me, then hurry up and propose. Let’s get married as soon as possible and then move to the city together.”

"it is good!"

As if afraid that Qi Ning would change her mind, Lu Yiheng hurriedly said, "Then I will ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage tomorrow."

"There's no need to rush. You can rest for a couple of days and then come over."

"I don't need to rest, I can come tomorrow."

Lu Yiheng was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all. He didn't need to rest at all. He wished he could come to propose marriage tonight.

Since he said so, Qi Ning went with him.

That evening, Lu Yiheng went back and asked his aunt to help him find a matchmaker.

Early the next morning, Lu Yiheng arrived at the Qi family home with his aunt and matchmaker to propose marriage.

The Qi family was somewhat caught off guard, but not entirely surprised, as they had all witnessed Lu Yiheng and Qi Ning's interactions during this period.

As long as Qi Ning agrees, they naturally won't object.

Moreover, Lu Yiheng's performance during this period seemed to be quite good, so the Qi family agreed to Qi Ning's suggestion.

The news that Qi Ning and Lu Yiheng were about to get married quickly spread throughout the village, and the villagers were thrilled.

“I told you so. When Yiheng and Aning came back from the city together, I felt something was off.”

"That's right. Also, Yiheng has been helping out at the Qi family for so long, and they even said they hired him to help. I told you they'd had that intention for a while."

"There are quite a few young men who have their eyes on Aning. Gu Lixuan didn't know what was good for him and married He Sisi. Lu Yiheng just happened to be lucky."

Some villagers, eager for a good show, even told the Gu family about it.

Gu Lixuan's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing the news.

It's one thing for Lu Yiheng to have this idea, but Qi Ning actually agreed to it.

Of all the people she could have married, why did she have to marry Lu Yiheng? Was she taking revenge on him?

He Sisi came in from outside and saw Gu Lixuan sitting in the room with a dark face.

She stepped forward and took Gu Lixuan's hand: "Lixuan, Aning and Lu Yiheng are getting married."

"I see."

He Sisi looked at Gu Lixuan's expression and squeezed his hand tightly.

"Lixuan, are you regretting it?"

"What are you going to regret? Don't think like that, just focus on giving birth to the baby."

He Sisi had just felt a little relieved when Wu Cuihong started making veiled accusations in the yard again.

"What are you all doing hiding inside like you're hiding something? Get out here and get to work!"

"What sins have I committed to give birth to such a stupid son and marry such a daughter-in-law? Does she really think she's some kind of pampered young lady?"

Hearing these words, He Sisi pursed her lips in grievance.

"Mom, what are you saying again? How can Sisi work if she's pregnant?" Gu Lixuan shouted outside.

Wu Cuihong stood in the courtyard with her hands on her hips: "You know what I'm saying. If you hadn't lost your mind, Aning would have been our daughter-in-law long ago. Now look what's happened, I'm too ashamed to go out and see anyone."

"So what if you're pregnant? Back in our day, pregnant women still worked, and we were back in the fields the day after giving birth. Unlike some people, who act like pampered princesses but live like servants, who are they trying to impress with their delicate airs!"

"mom!"

"Alright, alright." He Sisi, heavily pregnant, stopped Gu Lixuan. "Don't argue with Mom. I'll go help her with the chores."

The Gu family courtyard was in complete chaos, while the Qi and Lu families were beaming with joy as they prepared for their wedding.

Qi Ning and Lu Yiheng got their marriage certificate, and not long after, they held a wedding banquet in Lu Yiheng's original courtyard.

The banquet invited everyone in the village, and even many people from the neighboring village, but the Gu family was not invited.

The Gu family sat in the courtyard, listening to the lively sounds from the Lu family not far away, the atmosphere filled with a sense of oppression.

Wu Cuihong was still cursing and finding fault with He Sisi, and Gu Tianzhu was equally unfriendly to his son and daughter-in-law.

Gu Lixuan and He Sisi could only keep their heads down and dare not even breathe loudly.

After the banquet ended and the guests left, Lu Yiheng took Qi Ning back to their room.

“This courtyard is where my parents used to live together. It’s a bit old, I’m sorry to have to make it so uncomfortable for you.”

Qi Ning looked around and said nonchalantly, "It's a bit old, but it's quite clean. Besides, we're not staying here for long; we'll be going to the city in a few days."

"I'm glad you don't mind." Lu Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't mind?"

Qi Ning shook her head, and the red flower pinned in her hair swayed, making her radiate a captivating glow.

Lu Yiheng stepped forward and helped Qi Ning remove the other flowers from her hair.

For a moment, the two were quite close together.

Lu Yiheng looked into Qi Ning's eyes, slowly lowered his head, and tentatively kissed her lips.

Qi Ning chuckled and hooked her arm around Lu Yiheng's neck...

On the day of the homecoming, Lu Yiheng and Qi Ning returned to the Qi family together.

Qi Yang originally wanted to get Lu Yiheng to drink a few more glasses of wine, but Qi Ning stopped him.

"Brother, stop making him drink. We still have serious business to discuss."

Qi Yang chuckled: "You've only been married for a few days, and you're already siding with outsiders. You feel sorry for him if he drinks too much, and you're even protecting him?"

Li Suying snatched the wine glass from Qi Yang's hand: "Alright, you should drink less too. Little sister is right, we still have serious business to discuss."

Besides the homecoming visit to my parents' home tonight, there are indeed important matters to discuss.

Before returning from the city, Qi Ning had already quit her job.

During their time back home, the family discussed and agreed to Qi Ning's idea of ​​opening a clothing store in the city.

Qi Ning's plan was that after marrying Lu Yiheng, the two of them would first return to the city to prepare for opening a shop.

Qi Yang and his wife still had some things to take care of at home before heading to the city.

Once they've settled down in the city, we'll bring Mr. and Mrs. Qi over.

The day after returning to her parents' home, Qi Ning went into the city with Lu Yiheng.

He Sisi stood at the entrance of the Gu family courtyard, watching Lu Yiheng carry his luggage in one hand and hold Qi Ning's hand with the other as they walked forward.

She said with a hint of envy, "That's great, they're going into town."

He Sisi wondered when she would be able to go to the city to see if she could find her biological father...
