After the Republic of China

Chapter 8 Not a Problem
In the locust tree garden in winter, at dusk, the leaves are rustling in the wind, a little depressed.

Ximei's words are matched with this scene, adding a bit of intrusion.

Xiaodong didn't intend to do anything else, and was just dumbstruck when he heard it, obviously he never thought that people could be so shameless and bold.

Ximei's retelling was not mixed with much personal emotion, Shao Yunshi nodded her head in approval.

Xiaodong glanced at her senior sister, knowing that Ximei's words were true, her face was a little gloomy.

After Ximei finished her angry speech, she was very disappointed when she saw that Xiaodong didn't agree with her, "How come you didn't show any sign when you heard such an annoying thing?"

"What do you want to express? Some people are doomed to make a fool of themselves sooner or later." Xiaodong snorted coldly and calmed down.

"Ah?" Ximei looked at Xiaodong inexplicably, "Did you already know something?"

Xiaodong shook his head with a wooden face.

"You don't know." Ximei said disappointedly.

Xiaodong rolled his eyes at Ximei, "The character of Mr. Bai is not reliable."

"That's true." Xi Mei agreed.

"Actually, what Xiao Jinling saw doesn't explain anything." Xiaodong calmly analyzed.

Xiaodong's words poured cold water on Ximei.

"Can it still be like this?!" Xi Mei refused to accept.

Shao Yunshi nodded, "Maybe that's the case."

This is even more discouraging.

For a while, the room was quiet, only the faint fragrance was waving.

After all, Ximei didn't want to let go of this opportunity. After a while, she struggled and said, "Can't we do something? This is a great opportunity to bring down the Bai family."

Xiaodong actually felt that the opportunity was rare, and it was just right.

Shao Yunshi looked at the eyes of the two of them and sighed slightly.

"Senior Sister" Xiaodong looked at her worriedly.

Shao Yunshi stabilized her mood, stared darkly at the celadon on the shelf, and said calmly: "Actually, the Bai family is definitely not a problem for us,..."

"Huh?" Xi Mei thought less and looked at Miss with some surprise.

Xiaodong was much smarter, and immediately said with a dazed look: "Senior sister is right, the Bai family is indeed not a threat."

These words made people even more confused, and Ximei was anxious, "What are you talking about, Xiaodong, explain it clearly to me."

Xiaodong looked at her with pity, "Senior Sister's marriage has been dragging on year after year, and she is already sixteen. If this continues, everyone will have to worry."

"Bah! What do you know, you little brat, you don't dare to say such nonsense." Ximei was immediately displeased when she saw that she said something wrong.

Shao Yunshi did not expect that Xiaodong's words were so straightforward, which made her very ashamed, and she could only keep silent because it was hard to answer.

Xiaodong is younger than Ximei, and she doesn't understand much about men and women, so she doesn't get annoyed when she is scolded, "Am I not right?"

Ximei curled her lips, "What's right, our lady has an old aunt here, so it's no one else's turn to worry about it."

Now she is most afraid of mentioning the young lady's marriage, after all, the young lady's mind is so impossible.

Xiaodong didn't understand Ximei's entanglement, so he pouted and said, "Where did I say wrong, with Mrs. Shao around, my aunt and grandma can't insist on the marriage of senior sister, let alone Mrs. Bai."

"Xiaodong!" Shao Yunshi felt ashamed and annoyed when she saw her mentioning it again and again.

After being drunk, Xiaodong stuck out his tongue, not daring to speak anymore.

Ximei was lost in thought, 'Yes!Who said no? '

In the house, the three people, each with their own hearts, kept silent.

For a while, there was only the rustling sound of Shao Yunshi turning the pages of the book.

Xiaodong couldn't stand the dullness, so after a while, he pushed Ximei, who was hanging her head down, "Okay, don't think about it."

Ximei was pushed awake and sighed, "The Bai family is indeed not the problem, the problem is the old lady's attitude."

Seeing that Ximei came to understand, Xiaodong sneaked a glance at Senior Sister, and seeing that she didn't make a sound, he sighed, "You are not stupid after all."

After hearing this, Ximei rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "You are the only one who is smart, but don't forget that there is an old man behind Mrs. Bai, and his words are also useful."

The elder is Shao Yunshi's biological father, and under normal circumstances, he can really influence his daughter's marriage.

Xiaodong didn't know how to answer these words.

The Shao family is a typical scholarly family.

The marriage of children is naturally based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Xiaodong was worried that it was not unreasonable for Mr. Shao to manipulate Shao Yunshi's marriage by relying on his father's status.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

After hearing Xiaodong's words, Shao Yunshi's blush faded away, and she answered leisurely, "There is an old man behind the old man."

The Shao family, the rules set by the old man, the old men don't care about the internal affairs.

If the old man takes care of it, the old man will definitely intervene.

Xiaodong slapped his hands, "It's not like that, the old man is the authority of our family, with him around, don't be afraid."

Ximei is not optimistic, "Let's not talk about anything else, this Bai family is always so annoying, it is also very annoying."

Xiaodong shook his head, "Anyway, the Bai family doesn't need us to deal with it directly, so we don't have to tarnish the identity of the senior sister."

Bai's affairs are too dirty, and it's really not suitable for a girl who hasn't left the cabinet to manage.

Shao Yunshi didn't want to bring up these nasty things anymore, so she just waved her hands and said she was tired, and asked the two girls to go out to play with Xiao Jinling.

Xiaodong and Ximei looked at each other, knowing that it's not good to talk about it today, so they went out obediently.

The sky outside had completely darkened.

Seeing that the two girls had gone out, Shao Yunshi rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly.

On Huaiyuan's side, the atmosphere was gloomy.

The main courtyard, the residence of Mr. Shao, is very lively.

"Mom, I'm going to a department store to buy cosmetics tomorrow." Shao Xiuxue, the second miss of the Shao family, said while trying on nail polish.

"I want to paint it too, give it to me." The young master Shao Diyuan snatched it domineeringly.

Shao Xiuxue hurriedly took away the nail polish, "Mom, take care of my little brother."

Shao Diyuan didn't grab something and angrily dropped the toy on the table.

Mrs. Bai was busy packing, and when she heard the two children yelling, she told the maids with a headache, "You are all dead, hurry up and take the young master out to play."

The girls were frightened and hurried to coax them.

How could Shao Diyuan be willing to go out if he didn't grab something.

Seeing her younger brother making a fuss, Shao Xiuxue hurriedly hid the nail polish in fright.

Once or for a while, the house is noisy and can't be clean.

Reluctantly, Bai put down the matter in hand, and mediated for the siblings.

Just as she was talking, Yuye, Bai's eldest girl, hurried over, whispered a few words into her ear.

Mrs. Bai clapped her hands, said to her children gently, "Don't argue, my mother will take you out tomorrow, and you can buy or eat whatever you want."

"No" and "Yes" two siblings, one is willing and the other is against.

Shao Diyuan, who opposed it, was the only son in the family, and he was not greedy because he hadn't eaten anything.

I saw that he pointed with his little finger, "I want this."
