Chapter 1129: Chapter 667: Jiangjiang the Little Swindler, Isn’t That Fourth Aunt? (Part 2)

"Wanwan..." Liang Yun tilted her head, looking at Tang Wan, who was busy helping Shen Zhixian in the kitchen.

"Hmm?" Tang Wan poked her head out from the kitchen.

"Is your friend single? Does she have a boyfriend?"

Tang Wan pursed her lips, "No."

"How old is she? In our Huo Family, many kids are usually busy and don’t have opportunities to meet the opposite sex at work, remaining single and turning into older bachelors. Whenever I see a pretty single girl, I just want to ask a few more questions..."

There are indeed quite a few single ones in the Huo Family.

Previously, Huo Qinqi, the eldest brother, wasn’t married, so the ones below always had an excuse to shirk off. Anyway, they had their big brother to cover for them, so as younger brothers, they weren’t in a hurry.

Now that Huo Qinqi’s child is about to be born, each household’s appropriately-aged unmarried ones have begun to be urged to date and talk about marriage.

"If it’s convenient later, can you help me ask if she’s interested..." Liang Yun didn’t like to bring this up, but there were a few stubborn ones in the family that were really worrying. "However, marrying into our family might be a bit tough."

Tang Wan nodded in agreement, "I’ll ask when I have the chance."

"Don’t feel pressured or burdened; if she’s interested, then fine, if not, it doesn’t matter." Liang Yun was more about casting a wide net.

"I understand." Tang Wan smiled.

"This girl is really nice, she even knows how to make clothes, and she’s easy-going, you can tell she has a good temperament." The old lady chimed in.

A family with a good daughter has a hundred suitors.

The old lady sincerely hoped a good girl could marry into their family. But with the fresh cabbage in front of them, their pigs don’t even know how to dig. The Huo family had many quality youths, and if a marriage could be facilitated, it would be a good thing.

...

Jiang Chengsi sat on the side, eating an apple, listening to them already discussing who in the Huo Family might be suitable for her. His gaze fell on the video on the television screen, the apple crunching crisply.

The men of the Huo Family?

He barely saw them a few times a year; their family members were born dull and monotonous; what’s so good about them.

He continued gnawing on his apple, barely noticing that Jiangjiang ran in from outside, and the old lady, seeing him drenched in sweat, hurriedly gathered him in her embrace to wipe his sweat.

"What did you play outside to sweat so much?"

"Playing soccer. I have a match in a few days. Great-grandma, do you want to come watch me play soccer?" Jiangjiang had never given up on playing soccer.

"Sure, great-grandma definitely wants to go." The old lady was very fond of children, always granting requests as far as she could.

The old lady helped him wipe his sweat, then told him to have some water. Jiangjiang held his cartoon thermos cup, sat on the old lady’s lap drinking his water, listening to their discussion.

A group of elders sitting together, mostly talked about children, work, and marriage.

Originally, Jiangjiang was gulping down water, but hearing them talk about some pretty girl, he asked, "Great-grandma, where’s the pretty sister from?"

"You little mischief, so curious when you hear ’pretty sister’?" The old lady teased, pointing at the screen, where "Miss Xiao" appeared for just two or three seconds, "That’s the sister, pretty?"

"Oh——" Jiangjiang looked carefully while holding his thermos, "Is this the fourth aunt?"

...

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Chengsi had just taken a bite of the apple, not yet chewed it down, and unexpectedly got it stuck in his throat, nearly choking him to death.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze fell on Jiang Chengsi.

"Jiang Wenyan, mind your words, what’s this about a fourth aunt?" Jiang Chengsi gripped the apple in his hand, wishing he could hang up and beat that little brat.

"Chengsi." Jiang Yanting was sitting not far away, chatting with Jiang Zhenhuan about the company, but upon hearing someone angrily threaten his son, could no longer sit still.

"Jiang Xiaosi, what are you doing? Threatening the child?" The old lady frowned.

"Grandma, I’m not like that with her, don’t listen to his nonsense. If the girl hears about this, it would be ruining her reputation."

"Jiangjiang!" The old lady also frowned hearing this, since what Jiang Chengsi said made sense; if there’s no relationship, spreading it is indeed bad.

Jiangjiang pursed his lips, "Actually, I just saw them... um——"

Before Jiangjiang could finish his sentence, Jiang Chengsi, having approached unknowingly, picked him up, covered his mouth, and dragged him away.

Clearly the case of the missing silver.

The old lady had been enthusiastically introducing this good girl to the Huo family; facing Liang Yun now felt quite awkward.

**

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengsi was also nearly driven crazy by Jiangjiang. He dragged him to an empty room, preparing to have a good talk with him.

"Fourth Uncle, my mistake, I shouldn’t have called the sister fourth aunt, right?" Jiangjiang had always been adaptable and quick to acknowledge errors.

"What were you trying to say just now?" Jiang Chengsi crossed his arms, looking down at him.

Jiangjiang looked up at him, mostly seeing his chin and nostrils, "Fourth Uncle, can you not look at me through your nostrils?"

"..."

"I just wanted to say that I saw you holding hands with the sister."

"You mustn’t talk about this."

"Why not? Fourth aunt may be off the table, but holding hands is fact, why can’t it be mentioned."

"It could cause misunderstandings."

"If it’s all clear and honest, who’s misunderstanding? Dad says if you haven’t done anything wrong, you shouldn’t fear being talked about."

"..." Jiang Chengsi was stuck by his logic, which seemed quite reasonable. He placed his hands on Jiangjiang’s shoulders, "Jiangjiang, you must understand that adults don’t just live in a world of black and white; many things are complicated, do you understand?"

"But you did hold the sister’s hand, that’s a fact."

"People will assume there’s ’that kind of relationship’ between me and her."

"But you do have a relationship."

"A misunderstanding of ’that kind of relationship’!"

"Dad says we must be honest, good kids shouldn’t lie."

"I’ll give you an extra thousand for your New Year’s money."

"Fourth Uncle, you’re bribing me; I’m not that kind of person." He spoke with a righteous air, as if impervious to wealth and intimidation.

"Fifteen hundred."

"I’m not that kind of person!"

"Two thousand." Jiang Chengsi gritted his back teeth, he couldn’t believe it, was this kid rejecting money now? He had seen this nephew grow up, knew his temperament well.

"Fourth Uncle..."

"Twenty-five hundred."

"My sister should also get some, a total of five thousand, thanks, Fourth Uncle." Jiangjiang dashed off happily after speaking.

Jiang Chengsi stood in place, crying and laughing, what is this? Got conned out of five thousand?

Your dad wants you to be a decent person? That second brother, the conniving businessman, even tells dark fairy tales, but tells this kind of thing to kids?

Having a sister-in-law truly makes a difference. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

...

Jiangjiang returned to the living room, telling about his earlier encounter with Jiang Chengsi and that pretty sister. He almost bumped into her and got reprimanded by Jiang Chengsi.

The old lady told him he was too careless, but everyone knew that wasn’t the real story.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chengsi with peculiar eyes, and Jiangjiang grasped Jiang Chengsi’s weak point, directing him to peel shrimp and pick side dishes for him.

Jiang Chengsi was not the type to willingly be bossed around, simmering with anger, wishing he could paddle a particular little rascal’s backside.

Thinking about Jiang Xiaowai fussing at night, his head throbbed.

Why have kids? They’re all debt collectors, not a single cute one.

Last night, Jiang Chengsi hadn’t slept soundly because of her, and today at the old house having a meal, once again because of her, he couldn’t settle down. Honestly, he had never been affected by the opposite sex this much, and he didn’t like this uncontrollable feeling.

He hoped that in the future, the number of times they’d meet would be few, and maybe after some time, this strange feeling would fade away.

Little did he know, fate wouldn’t cooperate...

The next day, he saw the person herself, and that peculiar feeling returned again.
