"Stop using me as an excuse," Zhou Lijun said. "If I never get married, would you dare to never take a wife?"
Zhou Liwei: ...Of course he wouldn't dare, but he thought his second sister dared, so he didn't speak out.
Only then did Zhou Lijun hum a couple of times and remind him, "Don't use me as an excuse in front of our parents, got it? Also, cover for me a bit."
Zhou Liwei: "Cover what?"
"Just tell our parents about your sweetheart and let them worry about you," Zhou Lijun said. "People's energy is limited. If our parents are worried about your business, they naturally won't have time to meddle in mine."
She said, "I estimate that this time they will stay until at most July or August before they have to go back, otherwise, with the need to collect medicinal materials in the winter and plant new herb seedlings, Third Uncle and Third Aunt-in-law will definitely be too busy."
So as long as it drags until then, it will be fine.
