Chapter 1249: How Is the Child?
Mrs. Shen was merely speculating and not too certain.
"Xiuxiu, your elder brother hasn’t mentioned this to me himself; it’s Mom’s conjecture," said Mrs. Shen with a single sentence, and the joy on Su Ningxiu’s face immediately wilted.
She had thought her big brother really had someone he liked! But it turned out to be her mother’s guess. Su Ningxiu’s enthusiasm waned, but Su Yunjin looked at Mrs. Shen and asked, "Mom, how did you figure out that big brother has someone he likes?" If this matter had no basis, her mother definitely wouldn’t say such a thing.
At Su Yunjin’s questioning, Mrs. Shen described the issue with the handkerchief to Su Yunjin in detail. After listening, Su Ningxiu’s eyes lit up again, "Mom, if it’s really as you just said, then big brother must have someone he likes outside." If her big brother didn’t like someone else, why would he hide another person’s handkerchief and place it next to his skin under his clothes?
Not only did Su Ningxiu think that Su Muze had someone he liked, but Su Yunjin thought so too. Su Ningxiu looked at Su Yunjin, "Little sister, you also think big brother has someone he likes, right?"
Su Yunjin nodded, "Mom, second sister, if that’s really the case, then big brother certainly has someone he likes."
Now that big brother had someone he liked, Su Ningxiu couldn’t wait to say, "Mom, who exactly is the girl big brother likes? Let big brother tell us her name so our family can go propose a marriage to our new sister-in-law’s family, what do you say, Mom?"
Mrs. Shen cast a reproachful look at her daughter, "Xiuxiu, why the hurry? Proposing already? We don’t even know what sort of character your big brother’s loved girl has. What if your big brother likes a shrew? Or a woman like Su Xiaofu, would you want your big brother to marry her and bring her home?"
"This...?" Su Ningxiu shook her head repeatedly.
A look of horror spread across her face, "No, no, no, how could that be possible?" If her big brother truly liked a shrew, or a woman like Su Xiaofu, Su Ningxiu certainly wouldn’t want her big brother to marry her. What Su Ningxiu wanted was a sister-in-law who was gentle and kind, and good to her big brother.
Only such a sister-in-law would please Su Ningxiu.
