Qingmu's face flushed red. He looked on helplessly as the roomful of people laughed until they were practically falling over. 'Just you wait,' he thought. 'Once we're engaged, we'll see if you're still talking like this.'
Juhua also looked at Little Shitou with a smile and said, "Your mother must have been joking. You just copied what she said."
Little Shitou quickly said, "No, it wasn't! It was my mom chatting with Second Aunt Li. She said our village is definitely going to prosper in the future, and everyone will want to marry their daughters into our village. All the boys in our village will be hot commodities! So, she said we have to act fast. 'The early bird gets the worm.' Second Aunt Li also said that her Yan won't marry outside the village in the future. She'll find someone right here, since there are plenty of boys in the village anyway. Oh, and she also said that brother Yangzi is a great choice."
