Xiao Li was still stunned. He was shocked and dazed for a few seconds. He returned home and found that the grocery store was closed. It was lunchtime, and they were closing up shop.
Xiao Li walked to the kitchen and found the three of them sitting there. Huang Yu smiled, "Xiao Li, come sit and eat."
Xiao Li nodded and went there to eat together. They ate as usual. Occasionally, Huang Yu or Xiao Heng would ask what they were up to today.
After a few words, Xiao Xun explained that he learned to hunt from his father's brother. Because their village had suffered a disaster, his entire family had disappeared, so he was the only one left to survive.
Huang Yu and Xiao Heng looked at each other and said nothing. Then Xiao Xun said that he would learn to hunt. Xiao Heng and Huang Yu initially disagreed, but they eventually agreed on the condition that Xiao Heng also join Xiao Xun in hunting.
They finished lunch with the pheasant and hare that Xiao Xun had hunted. They each returned to their rooms. However, Xiao Li's parents were curious about what Young Master Bai Moye had said.
Xiao Li was called to his parents' room. They usually rested during the day before returning to work.
Xiao Li entered his father's room and met their curious eyes. Xiao Li furrowed his brows and asked, "Daddy, Daddy, why did you call me?"
Huang Yu smiled, "Your father said that Young Master Bai called you. What did he say?"
Huang Yu and the villagers knew that Bai Moye wasn't from the village; he was the young master of a wealthy merchant family in the city. His grandfather and grandfather had decided to live alone in the village.
Although they went to the fields, they actually had plenty of money to live a leisurely life. However, they enjoyed farming and found this quite fulfilling.
When their grandson arrived, the villagers immediately recognized him as a wealthy young master; his appearance and attire were completely different from the villagers' worn and patched clothes.
Huang Yu asked this question, which made Xiao Li's face turn red. Huang Yu narrowed her eyes, suspecting that something had happened to her little Ger. Although they were still young, Young Master Bai had already reached the age to understand some things about affection.
Xiao Li blushed and said, "He said he liked me and wanted to marry me."
Both Huang Yu and Xiao Heng were shocked. Young Master Bai Moye was truly unexpected. Xiao Heng was suspicious, but he hadn't expected the little man to propose to his little Ger directly.
How brazen.
However, considering his attitude, Xiao Heng could only sigh softly. Huang Yu, meanwhile, was torn between happiness and sadness. What if it was just a passing fancy? Once he returned to the city, he would change his mind.
"What did you say to him?"
Xiao Li shook her head. "I didn't say anything. Before I could speak, he ran away. And I didn't see him. He only helped me wipe the dust off my nose and handed me this silk handkerchief."
Xiao Li happened to be holding a silk handkerchief in her pocket and showed it to her parents.
Huang Yu, "..."
Xiao Heng, "..."
After proposing, he ran away? What's the meaning of this? Who would dare give up their beloved little Ger for such a petty man?
Xiao Heng was furious, "Xiao Li, don't take his word for it. He must be joking."
Xiao Li spoke again, "Father, Young Master Bai told me, 'Don't accept anyone's proposal, only I can marry you.' Father, what does this Young Master Bai mean?"
Xiao Heng, "..."
Unforgivable. Not only did he run away after proposing, he even forbade my little Ger from accepting anyone else's proposal. How dare that bastard?
Huang Yu smiled, "You're still young. Wait a few more years. Let's see if he'll keep his promise. Besides, it'll still be 10 years before we can let go of our little Xiao Li."
Xiao Heng rubbed his little Ger's head. "Little Xiao Li, how do you feel? Are you happy that Young Master Bai is marrying you?"
As soon as his father finished speaking, he saw his little Ger's face turn red.
Xiao Heng, "..."
It's over. My beloved little Ger seems to really like this little rascal.
Huang Yu smiled gently. "Okay, go back to your room and sleep."
Xiao Heng, "..."
I haven't finished speaking yet. I just want to protect my little Ger.
Xiao Li saw that his parents didn't want to say anything else. He walked out of his parents' room and suddenly had the idea to ask his Brother Xun. He ran towards Xiao Xun's room.

"What can we do now?" Xiao Heng held his head. Huang Yu looked at her husband and smiled, "Why are you so anxious? It's not like your little Ger will be taken by someone else tomorrow."
Xiao Heng looked at his wife, "How could that be? I still don't believe that little bastard Bai Moye. How could he propose to my little Ger behind our backs? He even threatened our little Ger. I can't accept it."
"Threatening our little Ger? Where is that?" Huang Yu glared at him. Xiao Heng immediately rebutted, "How can you not consider it a threat? He forbids our Ger from accepting other people's proposals, and only he can marry our Ger?
Huang Yu pinched his arm. "How can that be considered a threat? That proves that Young Master Bai is trying to mark our little Ger."
Yu agreed with her husband. But she quickly spoke up. "Don't think too much about it. After all, our Ger is still young. And we can still endure it. What are you worrying about?"
"Still. It scares me. When so many people propose to our Ger. And our Ger has decided to wait for that Young Master Bai Moye. By the time she reaches her age, no one has proposed to her. What about that?" Xiao Heng spoke.
Huang Yu smiled wryly. "Okay, if Little Xiao Li turns 16 and Young Master Bai doesn't propose to her, we'll find her a partner."
"Okay, okay. Then let's go to bed."
Huang Yu, "..."
Was it that easy to persuade her?
