Yes, that must be the case.
If Su Qiao had not been smart enough, he wouldn't have been able to open such a prosperous shop, even his mother and sister would praise him endlessly.
"Young Master, are you still going?" The boy looked at Young Master, whose face turned white and red, and asked carefully.
Zhou Tianyou said with a sullen face, "Go and send a message to Brother Xia, saying that I am coming to visit."
"Yes." The boy received the order and walked quickly towards Willow Tree Village.
Half an hour later, the boy came back alone.
He lowered his head with a shivering look on his face. "Young Master, Xia Family people said that Xia Young Master went to the mountains and might not be able to come back for a while."
This is obviously Xia Family's excuse. Maybe... Xia Family doesn't want to have anything to do with Young Master at all.
Even Young Master's classmate and friend Xia Yubin is deliberately avoiding Young Master.
It's noon now, who would go to the mountains?
What's more, Xia Yubin is a scholar, and he has to drive to the government for a test tomorrow. Xia Family won't let Xia Yubin do any work at this time even if he can't figure it out.
Zhou Tianyou had no time to think about this. He grabbed his arm anxiously. "Have you seen Xiao Die?"
His arm hurt, but the boy didn't dare to say a word.
"Never."
After a pause, the boy said softly, "I don't dare to ask."
It was really inappropriate for him, a man, to come to ask about a woman who was waiting for marriage.
"But... when I came out, I quietly inquired with the Xia Family's neighbors. Xia Family was indeed proposing a marriage to Miss Xia. I heard that the other party's family is quite wealthy, and they have already... given an engagement gift of one hundred taels."
As for whether the man's family is engaged in business, and whether he has renewed his wife, we don't know.
But the matter of being engaged has already been confirmed.
Zhou Tianyou's face darkened and his eyes were sinister. "Xia Family accepted it?"
"Yes." The boy lowered his head, not daring to look at Young Master's expression that was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth.
"Young Master, why don't we go back and have a long-term plan? We can't break in at this time. If things get too big, the master and his wife will..."
The boy is only worried now that Young Master will impulsively run to the Xia Family to cause trouble in a rage.
"Go back."
Zhou Tianyou stood on the side of the road for half an hour under the noon sun, until he felt dizzy and then got on the carriage with a gloomy face.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped his sweat, climbed into the carriage, and drove away Willow Tree Village.

"How's it going? Have you seen Xia Xiaodie?"
"Didn't you see it again?"
"Just give up on this idea. That woman is simply a two-faced person who talks nonsense."
Zhou Tianyou returned home with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the outer hall, he heard his sister's ridicule.
Suddenly he was furious and said, "Shut up!"
Zhou Shirou was so angry that he sneered, "Humph, to tell you the truth, my mother has already inquired about it, and her family has arranged a marriage for her. The man's ex-wife died and he still has a son, but his family is rich.
I heard that when they got engaged, Xia Family was given a gift of one hundred taels, as well as a set of gold-headed noodles. I heard that Xia Xiaodie had no objection at all, so he not only accepted it happily, but also put it on his head that day. "
"Impossible! Xiao Die must have been forced."
Zhou Tianyou doesn't believe that the person he likes will despise the poor and love the rich, and will abandon him like a pair of worn shoes when he is in trouble.
"Huh, why are you being forced? It's just you, a fool, still dreaming here."
Zhou Shirou had a look of hatred on his face, and wished he could beat this stupid brother awake with a stick.
