Chapter 220 I’m Not Getting Married
The two went in and chatted with Cao Qiuhua’s parents for a bit, but then Cao Qiuhua came in and stopped her parents from talking, obviously not wanting Song Xiaoru to know too much.
This made both Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong feel even more certain there was a problem. Song Xiaoru was a bit unwilling to let it go, but Song Xiaodong shook his head at her. Song Xiaoru knew he must have a plan, so she didn’t press further and took out a thousand yuan, giving it to Cao Qiuhua’s mother, which left Cao Qiuhua’s parents endlessly grateful.
After preparing several dishes, Cao Qiuhua first took a portion to her parents, then called for Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru to sit down and eat together. She also brought out two bottles of white liquor.
Cao Qiuhua poured the liquor and said, "Xiaoru, this might be my last crazy moment before getting married. Today, I just want to drink to my heart’s content, and you have to keep me company."
"This... You have your wedding tomorrow morning. What if you drink too much?"
"Ha... Drinking too much would be perfect. If I’m all fuzzy during the wedding, that’s a kind of pleasure, too. Just kidding, don’t worry. I’ll be fine after some sleep. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight either. People from the city, before they get married, don’t they all go crazy one last time because they’re ending their single lives? I want to try it, too."
Song Xiaoru hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, okay then, I’ll keep you company."
At first, Cao Qiuhua was somewhat able to control her drinking, but after half an hour, she began to lose control of her emotions, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Song Xiaoru wanted to take this opportunity to ask for clarity, but Cao Qiuhua simply refused to tell.
"Sister, let me go out and ask around. Stop questioning her," Song Xiaodong whispered in Song Xiaoru’s ear before standing up and walking out.
Sun Family Village wasn’t a small village, and Cao Qiuhua’s home wasn’t in a remote location, but stepping outside, it felt like there was no one around in the neighboring houses.
It was only after reaching the corner that he encountered a few old ladies chatting together, and what they were discussing was none other than Cao Qiuhua’s situation.
