"Stop talking nonsense, just look at your face, pale as a ghost," Shen Luhua couldn't hide her distress, "An'an, go catch one of our old hens and kill it, I'll make a stew for your sister."
"Oh! I'll get on it right away." Sheng An moved quickly, darting out like a little rabbit, and soon the yard was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
Shen Luhua sat on her bed, sighed, and said, "Girl, this is my fault, don't you ever blame Qigang." Seeing that they were about to get married, she was really afraid that the girl would impulsively decide not to marry, which would be disastrous.
"Mom, I don't blame you!"
"Don't blame Qigang." She'd rather take the blame herself than have her anger directed at Xu Qigang.
"You shouldn't have kept this from me, and he definitely shouldn't have." Sheng Ning felt a seething anger at being kept in the dark; if she hadn't overheard it today, would she have been kept in the dark forever?
