Chapter 78 Are you going to marry Yunxi?
Not only was Aunt Xi's eyes wide open, but so were the other cousins. They had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Of course, the cousins were not targeting Yun Xi, but Yun Yan.
They had never seen such a handsome boy before, and their faces turned red instantly.
Yun Xi and Yun Yan both noticed their gazes and frowned slightly.
At Xi's urging, the brother and sister called for help in a low voice.
They were indifferent and distant, but also polite, which stunned all the cousins. They thought they were very elegant and very different.
As soon as the group entered the house and said a few words, my aunt asked about the purpose of their visit.
"Is Sister Xi going to get married and invite us over for a drink?"
In fact, everyone thought so. Yunxi would be coming of age in more than a month. Girls could get married after they reached the age of marriage. Her marriage had been arranged for so many years, so people thought she would get married soon.
Xi waved her hand, "No, we came back today to pay respect to our parents."
Uncle Xi frowned, "It's not a festival, why did you think of coming back to pay respect to the elders?"
Yun Huaiyuan said, "Our entire village was attacked by bandits. Everything was stolen and the houses were burned. Now we are planning to go south together to find a way to survive. We don't know when we can come back, so we wanted to come and say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The Xi family was shocked. They didn't expect their village would suffer such a disaster.
At the same time, the expressions of several people became intriguing.
They were a little worried in their hearts, wondering if this family would come here to extort money under the pretext of worshiping the dead.
"Oh my god, how could those bandits be so brutal? Apart from looting and burning houses, are people safe? Did the government take care of you?"
The last sentence of Aunt Xi's second mother is the key point. They all want to know whether the government is doing anything about it. If not, they are probably here to take advantage of the situation.
Xi knew what they were thinking. She smoothed her hair and said, "Of course the government is in charge. Now we have to leave Xiemu County and go somewhere else, which is also where the government will put us."
"Where is it?" asked Uncle Xi.
"A village under Hepu County." This is not a secret, and there is no need to hide it.
"Why is it placed so far away?"
"We don't know where the government will put us."
After hearing this, the Xi family members all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not here to extort money.
The faces of the Xi family members showed a little more sincerity.
"So Sister Xi, are you planning to get married after you arrive in Hepu County?"
If that's the case, can they save on the gift?
Xi was a little unhappy. She had just changed the subject, so why was he asking about this again?
After thinking about it, she did not hide it and said directly, "No, our sister Xi has broken off the engagement with the Zhao family, and we will have no relationship in the future."
The Xi family was stunned, and the second aunt Xi exclaimed, "Why would the engagement be cancelled? How will Yunxi get married in the future?"
Xi's face darkened. "What are you talking about, second sister-in-law? My sister Xi is still a pure and innocent girl, why can't she get married?"
Aunt Xi curled her lips and said, "What's the difference between breaking off the engagement and getting married for the second time? Who among the good families will be willing to marry her in the future?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of several cousins of the Xi family lit up.
Xi said, "Don't worry about that, second sister-in-law. It's getting late, so let's not talk any more. After we kowtow in front of our parents' graves, we should go back."
After saying that, he walked out of the house, and Yun Xi, Yun Huaiyuan and Yun Yan followed closely behind him.
The Xi family members didn't say anything, nor did they offer to accompany them.
As soon as the family of four left the yard, the two aunts of the Xi family couldn't wait to open the several oil paper packages they brought.
I opened it and found that it was all dim sum, which was a bit disappointing.
This thing is precious and rare, but it is not something that a farmer like them can afford to eat. It would be better to buy them some grain and meat.
"What a waste, spending money on these things."
Although Aunt Xi was complaining, she was quick with her hands and divided the packets of snacks into two halves, between the two families.
"Mom, this snack looks delicious. I want to eat it."
The youngest son of Uncle Xi's second family held his mother's hand and acted coquettishly.
The two aunts thought about it, opened the oil paper packages again, took out two pieces each, and gave them to their children and husbands. Each of them only tasted one bite.
The snacks were not big and were gone in one bite each.
"Mom, I want more."
"I want some too."
"I didn't even have time to taste what it was before it was gone."
In the end, the two aunts couldn't stop us, and the family divided it into several pieces before the matter was settled.
Yunxi and her friends didn't buy these snacks specifically, but they just picked up a few bags from the teahouse.
The teahouse makes a lot of ordinary dim sum every day, and I can just give a few as gifts without having to bother buying anything else.
After tasting the snacks, they were still not satisfied. At this time, Uncle Xi's eldest son Xi Yi said, "Dad and Mom, what do you think if I marry my cousin?"
"What, you want to marry Yunxi?" Second Aunt Xi was stunned.
"I don't agree. Yunxi is a woman whose engagement was broken off. Why would you marry her? If you want to marry a wife, I'll ask a matchmaker to find a good one for you."
Xi Yi is seventeen this year, and it is time for her to get married. In fact, her family has been looking for a suitable man for a long time, but they have not found one.
Xi Yi thought of Yun Xi's fair and beautiful face, and felt unbearable. "Mom and Dad, I think it's a good idea to marry Yun Xi's cousin. This way, we can save on the betrothal gifts. Not only that, but Yun Xi can marry me, and my aunt and uncle will definitely be grateful. Then we can take the opportunity to ask them for more dowry."
After hearing what he said, Uncle Xi and Aunt Xi thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense.
In this way, not only do they not have to spend a penny, they also get a wife for free, and they can even ask for more dowry.
After a moment, Uncle Xi nodded, "I think it's okay."
Xi Yi was excited, and Aunt Xi felt a little uncomfortable, "Son, I really wronged you."
Uncle Xi's two sons were very upset. They were a beat slower and were overtaken by Xi Yi.
They really want to say that if they are wronged, let them come, and they are not afraid of being wronged.
Xi Yi couldn't wait any longer. "Mom and Dad, let's go and talk to my aunt and uncle about this."
However, before Second Uncle Xi and the others could answer, First Uncle Xi's daughter spoke up, "Mom and Dad, I want to marry my cousin Yun Yan."
As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Xi's second daughter pulled her up.
"No, I'm the one who should get married. I'm older than you and I'm not married yet, so why is it your turn now?"
