Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 427 Not Bad Looking

"I hope everything goes well."

Yang Sanlang didn't care whether the child was a boy or a girl, as long as the adults and the child were alright.

"Why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night?"

After working late into the night, Zhao Yan was exhausted. After a quick wash, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep with her little Fu Bao and little Fu Niu in her arms.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Yang Sanlang had no choice but to lie back down.

……

The next day, right after breakfast, the villagers of Huaihua Village across the street all knew that Tian Xiue had given birth, and had given birth to a baby boy very quickly.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhen quickly filled a basket with eggs and hurried to the other side.

Zhao Yan and Chen Qingjiao warmly welcomed Qiu Zhen and then took her to see the little one who had just fallen asleep.

Looking at the fair-skinned little baby, Qiu Zhen felt incredibly envious.

After chatting with Tian Xiue for a while, she got up and went back.

When she got home and saw her youngest son looking lazy and disheveled, she got angry again and kicked Zhou Renbin in the butt.

"You brat, other people have warm wives and cozy beds, but you're lazy and do nothing all day long. What's the point of having you? I might as well sell you to Master Wang in town to be his servant."

At least I can get some money back, and I won't have to stay home and nag her every day.

Zhou Renbin rubbed his bottom, looking speechless, and said, "Mom, what have I done to you this time? I don't cause trouble, I don't get into any problems, haven't I been doing just fine?"

"You've gotten arrogant just from being talked about, haven't you?"

Qiu Zhen, hands on her hips, scolded, "You promised to get married after the New Year! Where's your wife? Where is she?"

She shouldn't have believed that kid's reply.

What woman? He's clearly just stalling for time with words.

We absolutely cannot delay any longer this year; if we do, we'll really be stuck with this mess.

When Zhou Renbin saw his mother bring up the matter of getting a wife again, he awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.

He had a girl in his heart, and they had originally agreed that he would bring his mother to propose marriage after the New Year.

But before the Lunar New Year, she suddenly told him that she no longer wanted to marry him and that he should find someone else.

Zhou Renbin is a carefree guy in his mid-twenties with high standards. He finally found a girl he liked, so how could he just break up with her like that?

No matter how much the other party refused, he would shamelessly insist on getting close to them.

Unfortunately, the other party seems determined not to be with Zhou Renbin, and Zhou Renbin has not been able to persuade them to stay.

"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

When Qiu Zhen saw that her youngest son had suddenly stopped talking, she glared at him angrily and asked, "Didn't you say you had your eye on a girl? Now tell me honestly, does that girl really exist? Or is it just an excuse you're using to fool me? If you don't tell me the truth, don't call me 'Mom' anymore, and I'll pretend I don't have a son like you."

have to.

The old lady was really angry.

Zhou Renbin coughed twice and looked at his mother seriously, saying, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth."

"Actually, I really like a girl named Qi Caixia, who lives in town. But..."

Qiu Zhen said impatiently, "But what? Tell me quickly!"

"However, her parents died when she was young, and she had no elders to take care of her. She grew up in her uncle's house. Her uncle treated her well, but her aunt was not. She bossed her around and ordered her to do this and that every day."

Qiu Zhen blinked and subconsciously asked, "What does this girl look like?"

Her youngest son once boasted that he wanted to marry a stunningly beautiful woman. She thought that the girl must be very good-looking, otherwise, given her family background, it would be strange if her youngest son could even be interested in her.

Zhou Renbin touched his nose sheepishly and said, "I'm alright looking."

Actually, it's alright there.

Although Qi Caixia was not as beautiful as Zhao Yan, she was no less attractive than a lady from a prominent family.

Two years ago, Zhou Renbin went to town and met Qi Caixia briefly. He fell in love with her at first sight and decided he would marry no one else.

After making inquiries for a long time, he finally found out where Qi Caixia lived.

After learning about Qi Caixia's background, he became increasingly curious about her and often went to town to bump into her unexpectedly.

Qi Caixia didn't take it seriously at first or twice, but after it happened a few times, she realized what was going on and avoided Zhou Renbin for a long time afterward.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhou Renbin finally seized an opportunity to pull the person into the grove.

Qi Caixia was so scared that she wanted to call for help.

Zhou Renbin quickly confessed his love for her.

After listening, Qi Caixia remained silent for a long time until Zhou Renbin asked her if she was willing to marry him. She shook her head absentmindedly and said, "This is not something I can decide, and I have no plans to get married right now."

After saying that, she ran away without looking back.

After that, Zhou Renbin didn't see Qi Caixia for a long time.

He thought the relationship might be over, but unexpectedly, some time before the new year, Qi Caixia suddenly found him and asked him to marry her.

Zhou Renbin agreed on the spot, saying he would go to her house to propose marriage after the New Year.

But something happened to Qi Caixia. A few days later, she went to Zhou Renbin again and said that there was no need to go to her uncle's house to propose marriage. She suddenly didn't want to get married anymore.

"Why? Is there something I did wrong?"

Zhou Renbin was furious when he heard this and grabbed Qi Caixia's wrist tightly to prevent her from leaving.

Qi Caixia bit her lip tightly and refused to speak or explain why she suddenly decided not to get married.

Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Zhou Renbin felt heartbroken and had no choice but to let her go.

Later, he went to inquire near Qi Caixia's uncle's house and learned that Qi Caixia's aunt did not want to let her go.

Moreover, the reason Qi Caixia had rushed to him and asked him to marry her was because her aunt wanted to marry her off to a widower.

The widower was willing to pay ten taels of silver to marry Qi Caixia.

With ten taels of silver for free, Qi Caixia's aunt was naturally happy to release her.

But a few days later, the widower, after drinking too much, suddenly found himself in his own home in the middle of the night.

The matter of marrying Qi Caixia naturally came to nothing.

This infuriated Qi Caixia's aunt, who declared that Qi Caixia was destined to bring misfortune to her father, mother, and husband, and that she wanted to get married forever.

Qi Caixia was also worried that her fate was too strong and would bring bad luck to Zhou Renbin, so she quickly denied what she had said to Zhou Renbin before, so that he would not have to propose marriage again.

After learning the whole story, Zhou Renbin made it clear to Qi Caixia that he did not mind her background and that he did not believe her nonsense about her being a jinx to her father, mother, and husband.

But Qi Caixia insisted on not marrying him, and even if Zhou Renbin didn't mind, he couldn't force Qi Caixia.

Therefore, this matter has dragged on and on without any resolution until now.

Zhou Renbin sighed and said dejectedly, "Mother, don't look down on Caixia because of her background. She's actually a very good girl."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhen glared at her youngest son with a hint of annoyance.

"Look at you, so pathetic. You're usually so arrogant, how come you can't even win over a little girl?"
