章 65: Chapter 64: The Family Bustles About

Upon hearing Old Lady Xu say that Xu Niannian was to be engaged, Liu Guimei and Xu Erhong exclaimed in surprise at the same time, "When did this happen?"

Old Lady Xu had been just as shocked when she first received the news, but now seeing how startled Xu Erhong and his wife were, she instantly felt full of disdain.

"Keep your voices down," she snapped. "You're acting as if you're a bunch of cowherds who have never seen a bird's egg. Our Niannian is already 17 by nominal age; it's time she got engaged."

In fact, Old Lady Xu also resented Yang Cuihua for not informing her sooner.

Taking out her irritation on Xu Erhong and his wife made her feel much better.

Coming back to her senses, Liu Guimei said, "Niannian is indeed at the age to be engaged."

Xu Erhong, on the other hand, was somewhat reluctant, "Our Niannian is only 17, what's the rush?"
