Chapter 423: Xu Jingjing Is Going Back to Her Hometown to Get Married
"I just don’t get it," Mrs. Xu said, clearly annoyed. "Climbing up the back mountain is exhausting. Who would suffer through that if they had nothing better to do?"
She would certainly not do such a thing. Working every day was killing her. Why wouldn’t she just relax at home during her rest days instead of wandering to this godforsaken place for fun? It was so boring.
But then she thought that it was her daughter’s idea, she could only shut her mouth, not wanting to crush her daughter’s spirits.
Third Brother Xu didn’t listen to Mrs. Xu. He had been up the back mountain; it had flowers and water, and even a pavilion. How nice it would be to sit there in the summer.
Plus, there were lotus flowers planted in the river--they must look so lovely when they bloomed.
They could also go fishing and have picnics. Just thinking about such days made him feel delighted.
Even the usually pragmatic Xu joined in, saying, "That’s right, Mom. You don’t understand. Young people these days like this kind of life. It’s called experiencing rural beauty."
Mrs. Xu despised it; she didn’t find it beautiful at all.
In the afternoon, Second Aunt Xu arrived at their home with her son, wife, and daughter.
On her face, Second Aunt Xu showed profound gratitude toward Xu Ying. If Mrs. Xu hadn’t stopped her, she would have knelt down in thanks immediately.
