Li Family in Stone Village
As soon as Li Chuntao got off the carriage, her mother came up to meet her. "Daughter, how did it go?"
Li Chuntao was a bit speechless. Hadn't they already decided it was just going through the motions, and they'd talk about the marriage later? Why was her mother still so full of hope, like she thought it might actually work out.
Before she could speak, her third brother spoke first. "Ma, we went just to fob them off, what else could it be!"
Seeing this, Chuntao's mother didn't say anything more. In theory that was how it was, but it was still a meeting a prospective match after all. What if the other party turned out to be a good person? She couldn't help asking. But seeing her daughter and son's attitude, the other side probably wasn't anything great either, so she dropped it.
"Then hurry inside, I made meat for you. Go eat, quick."
The few of them went into the house like that, and it happened to be mealtime.
