Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1278

Waving her hand dismissively, Zhang Yulan said, "Brother An, it’s fine to joke around with us, but you shouldn’t say things like that to others so carelessly. If someone takes you seriously, you will be in trouble."

Zhang Ermu glanced between his sister’s awkward smile and An Xuyuan’s dark expression. Then, a sudden realization hit him. A knowing smile tugged at his lips as he observed the two.

An Xuyuan didn’t notice that someone was observing him and was lost in his thoughts. With the atmosphere turning awkward, none of them spoke.

After lunch, An Xuyuan packed up the bamboo basket and strode toward the field without saying a word. Seeing Zhang Yulan’s nonchalant attitude, he felt a little annoyed. So, he didn’t want to talk to her right now.

Watching him leave, Zhang Yulan shook her head and muttered, "What a moody man."

Turning to her brother, she asked, "Brother, did we say something wrong? He looked angry."

Hearing her words, Zhang Ermu sighed, flicked her forehead, and said, "It’s not ’we’—it’s you."

Frowning at his words, Zhang Yulan asked, "What did I say?"

"You figure it out yourself."

After saying those words, Zhang Ermu walked off, leaving his sister glaring after him.

Leaning against the tree trunk, Zhang Yulan let out a sigh and said, "Men ah… their hearts are harder to understand than the deep sea."

Since she couldn’t make sense of their confusing behavior, she decided not to dwell on it. Rather than overthinking, it was better to focus on something important—like what to eat for dinner.

With that thought, she packed up their baskets and returned to work. They were almost done harvesting the wheat field. If they worked faster, they might be able to finish everything today.

Just thinking about the full warehouse at home made her whole body full of energy.

While An Xuyuan was troubled by his confusion and annoyance, Aunt Lin and Zhang Ermu’s parents were sitting in the Liu family’s living room.

It had been four days since he told Liu Piao that he would ask his family to visit her family to discuss the proposal, and today was the day they were free to do so.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the air, Aunt Lin wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve while racking her brain.

After a moment, she took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, Sister-in-law, we are here today to discuss the children’s matters. I wonder if Ah Piao notified you in advance?"

Hearing this, Mother Liu nodded and replied, "Ah Piao already told us about this."

She then looked at the Zhang couple and said, "Brother Zhang, Sister-in-law, we all know about the past between your family and my brother-in-law’s family. What happened back then was indeed the Liu family’s fault, and we apologize to you."

After carefully reviewing the dates, Mother Zhang finally said, "I think August 8th would be a good day for the engagement, and August 13th for the wedding. In-laws, what do you think?" _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
