Tian's family was greatly shocked and hastily turned around to look out of the window.

  Although the sun had set, the sky outside was still bright. Tian saw a person standing on the wall of the courtyard.

  "It's Old Uncle." Xia Shu said, who had been hiding on one side and hadn't dared to speak up until now.

  Without Xia Shu's reminder, Tian also recognized who the speaker was. Her face turned very ugly. She had been married into the Xia family for so many years and had interacted with every member of the Xia family. If she had to say who she was most afraid of in the Xia family, it wasn't Old Master Xia or Old Madam Xia, but rather her seven-year-old brother-in-law.

  The little black fish in Xia Zhi's eyes, also known as Xia Yunlong, is considered by the Tian family to be the most troublesome person in the Xia family.

  "How did he climb up there? It's getting dark already." Xia Qiao said as she quickly walked out.

  Summer solstice is also coming out.

  Xia Qiao walked to the edge of the wall and smiled as he beckoned to the little black fish.

  "Uncle, you're here."

  "Hmm." Xia Hei also had a good attitude towards Xia Qiao.

  "Uncle, come sit in the house." Xia Zhi invited.

  "Hmm." Xiao Hei Yu responded with a nod and winked at Xia Zhi.

  Xiaqiao Zhang opened his arms and picked up Xiao Hei from the wall. Just by looking at him, you could tell that he really liked this uncle who was several years younger than him. He also wanted to carry Xiao Hei into the house. Xiao Hei refused, struggled free, and swaggered into the house on his own.

  Xiao Hei Yu Er has arrived, and Xia Zhi's heart is at ease once again.

  She knew that Xiao Hei Yu was kind-hearted and kept his promises. Xiao Hei Yu knew that Tian Shi would return today, so even if he didn't watch himself, he must have arranged for the little followers to keep an eye on him.

  The little black fish entered the house, and Tian sat on the kang without moving, but his face was clearly somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Eldest Sister-in-law." Little Black called out and stood facing Tian's wife without going up onto the kang.

  "Little dragon." Tian's smile was quite forced.

  "You want to marry sixteen to your family's fool, this thing won't work, I won't agree." Little Black Fish spoke loudly, "What are you saying about not treating sixteen unfairly? You have the guts, come out with me and let's argue, see what everyone says."

  This kind of thing is definitely going to be gossiped about, and Tian has mentally prepared himself for it. But others can only gossip behind his back; if he goes out and quarrels with Xiao Hei at this time, he will be pointed at and criticized in public.

  Tian's family was unwilling at first and didn't accept Little Hei Fish's words.

  "Father already knows, come with me to the backyard, Father has something to ask you." Little Black said again seeing Tian Shi not moving.

  Tian sat still, refusing to budge.

  "Are you going or should I drag you there?" Little Black Fish glared and started rolling up his sleeves.

  Tian's family reluctantly got up.

  It is said that one thing can subdue another. In the Xia family, the little black fish was the arch-nemesis of Tian Shi. This was also why among all the people in the Xia family, Xia Zhi would be the first to find the little black fish.

  Xiao Hei Yu saw Tian Shi move and pulled Xia Zhi to lead the way in front.

  At the back door of Xia Zhi's home and at the gate of the backyard, people were standing.

  In the countryside, dinner is eaten early, and summer nights are dark. After everyone has finished eating, they usually come out to cool off and chat while there is still daylight. When people heard the commotion at Xia Zhi's house, they all came to watch.

  Tian's family was originally a bright and cheerful person, and he was quite good at talking. However, in this situation, she just looked gloomy and didn't speak to anyone.

  Everyone seemed to know that things were serious and when Xia Zhi and a few others came out, they automatically retreated backwards, leaving a path for them, without anyone asking questions.

  After entering the backyard, several people followed in, and they were all from the Xia family.

  There is Luo Shi in here.

  Luo's hand held her little son, smiling and greeting: "Sister-in-law is back, what's going on?" She usually got along well with Tian Shi, while speaking, she secretly made eye contact with Tian Shi, reminding her to be careful.

  The Tian family didn't care about the Luo family and just responded perfunctorily. The Luo family is now reminding her that there's still something useful, doesn't she know that things are not going well?

  In the courtyard, several big and small radishes were running around playing. Xia Jia's second son, Xia Yunman, and third son, Xia Yunhan, stood in one place talking, while Xia Jia's third daughter-in-law, Feng Shi, sat by the large wooden basin washing clothes.

  The little black fish pulled Xia Zhi into the upper room, and Tian's family fell behind them with a gloomy face.

  Behind Tian's body were Xia Qiao and Xia Shu.

  Xiaqiao and Ershu, Sanshu greeted each other, Xia Yunman and Xia Yunhan also followed into the house. Luoshi also hurriedly stepped into the house, several small radish heads saw that there was excitement, and they also followed into the upper room with a whoosh.

  Feng called out and followed by the last little girl and little boy, they all turned around and went to Feng's side.

  In the house above, Xiao Hei Yu had quickly told everything that had just happened.

  "You dare to clearly follow Father's words, you want to marry our 16-year-old daughter off to a fool." Little Black Fish said loudly, pointing at Tian Shi, without any politeness.

  Tian's station was in the middle of the field, with a gloomy face and no words.

  Old Xia looked down and then waved at Xia Yunman, the second son of the Xia family.

  "How did you all get in? The adults will stay behind, and the children can go out to play." After that, he reminded them again, "Don't talk nonsense when you're outside."

  The Tian family doesn't care about face, but the Xia family still cares about face.

  Xia Yun was busy smiling and nodding, sending all the children out.

  Xia Lao Ye Zi finally looked towards Tian Shi.

  Tian's family was lucky, facing the gaze of Old Man Xia without showing any weakness, and simply turned her buttocks to sit on the edge of the kang.

  Xia Yunman, Xia Yunnan and Luo Shi also sat on the edge of the kang.

  Several of them were standing underground on the summer solstice.

  "Come on, old lady, speak up." Xia Lao Yezi said with a stern face.

  Old Lady Xia sat on the kang, shifted slightly towards the windowsill, and remained silent.

  "What's there to say? A man should get married when he comes of age, and a woman should get married when she grows up. It's already the twelfth day after the summer solstice, it's not too early to talk about marriage now." Tian Shi said with a straight face and an air of confidence, then turned to Lao Ye with a cold smile, "Old man, have you forgotten? You once made a vow in front of everyone on Da Dang Street, what was it?"

  In Xia's family, Tian is the only daughter-in-law who doesn't call Old Man Xia "dad".

  And she mentioned what Old Man Xia had publicly sworn to do as soon as she opened her mouth.

  Old Man Xia's face stiffened and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

  "This matter is something I don't like, it's something I asked my grandfather to handle."

  Tian's eyes stared at Xia Zhi, his gaze was as if he wanted to swallow Xia Zhi whole. Xia Zhi remained unafraid. Xiao Hei Yu Er, on the other hand, was delighted because Xia Zhi's words were spoken at just the right time, and her big eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Xia Zhi.

  Old Man Xia let out a sigh of relief.

  "My grandfather, for me and his beloved granddaughter, even if he broke his vow, it's nothing. No one would laugh at my grandfather." Xia Zhi continued, "Everyone knows, they can only say that my grandfather is good."

  Old man Xia nodded and then looked at Tian Shi, his tone becoming even more severe: "Do you think I'm happy to get involved in your messy affairs? If you want to propose a marriage for the 16th, no one is stopping you. But as a mother, you can't push your child into a fire pit."

  "Old man, what do you mean by this?" Tian's face immediately turned red, and her voice became even sharper: "Why would I want to marry Xia Zhi to my mother's family as a daughter-in-law? Is it like pushing her into a fire pit? Your meaning is that the Tian family is a fire pit! I am also a daughter of the Tian family, not someone who was forcibly married into your family. The Tian family is a fire pit, how can you still have the nerve to marry me with such fanfare?"

  Old Master Xia's face also turned red, and his words carried more fire. "The thing I regret most in my life is agreeing to let my son marry you! You old Tian family, you old Tian family..."

  "Come on, old man, calm down..." Just as Old Man Xia was about to bring up even more past grievances, which would have led to endless bickering, Old Lady Xia hastily intervened.

  Old Xia panted heavily.

  Tian's family is not lenient: "What about our old Tian family? We've never looked down on anyone. Not like your old Xia family! Daqiao and Xiao Shu are both daughters of the Tian family who gave birth to you. Xia Zhi was also born by me. Old man, aren't you always saying that you're an educated person who talks about reason? This marriage is about parental orders and matchmaker's words. I am Xia Zhi's biological mother, so her marriage should be decided by me. Old man, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

  To add emphasis to his words, Tian also slapped the mountain with two loud slaps.

  "This matter of sixteen, I'll take care of it! As long as I have a breath left in me, I won't let you push sixteen into the fire pit."

  "I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her, raising her from diapers to adulthood. You said before that you wouldn't interfere with my family's affairs again, if you do, the character 'summer' will be written upside down! My daughter's marriage is none of your business, you're a generation apart, don't bother yourself with this!" Tian Shi shouted louder.

  "I'm going to ask Grandpa to deal with you!" Xia Zhi shouted.

  "Tian Laiji, where is your conscience? Have you let the dog eat it? How can you be so heartless and let Shiliu become a fool? Shiliu is a member of our old Xia family, I won't let you marry her off to that idiot Dabao!" Little Black Fish shouted at Tian.

  This time, Tian's face turned blue with rage.
