On the second day during breakfast, Yang Dong spoke, "I, oh, no, I told Auntie Lan Hua that from today I won’t be going to her fields anymore. I’ll head over to the fish pond to help Fifth Uncle."

This statement left the whole family stunned. It wasn’t because Yang Dong wasn’t going to Yang Xiaocui’s place to work, nor was it because he didn’t mention this the previous night, but because he was saying it just now.

They were shocked by Yang Dong’s deliberately altered accent. Clearly, he was used to speaking the local dialect, so why suddenly change now?

No more saying ’I’ in the local dialect, but changing it to standard speech.

The second sister-in-law was even more surprised and asked aloud, this fourth brother was acting too unusual; yesterday he suddenly wanted to learn words, and today he’s changing his accent, what’s gotten into him? "Fourth brother, what’s this play you’re performing? Why has your tone changed?"

"Oh, it’s nothing, I just figured it out. Third sister-in-law was right, I should learn more words because I’ll have to venture out someday. If I go out, speaking the dialect might not be too good, so it’s better to change it directly. Anyway, in our family, third brother, third sister-in-law, and the kids don’t speak the dialect, so I’ll try not to speak it either."

Hearing this, Father Yang spoke, "It’s good that the fourth kid thinks this way. Then you can come directly to the fish pond with me later."

"Okay."

The family continued eating breakfast. In fact, Xiaoxiao was also doubting what the second sister-in-law said last night.

But this early in the morning, Yang Dong’s change made Xiaoxiao think more deeply.

Could it really be because he feels unworthy of Li Chuntao that he made this change?

During the meal, they noticed Yang Dong’s oddity again. Each person had a boiled egg in the morning, but Yang Dong didn’t eat his.

It was known that Yang Dong loved eating those boiled eggs in the morning, it was his daily routine, so why didn’t he eat it today?

Yang Ming’s mother asked, "Fourth son, why aren’t you eating the egg?"

Yang Dong was quite open and said, "Oh, mom, I’m saving it to give to Yang Xiaocui later. Didn’t you tell me to think of her? She’s too thin, needs some nourishment."

These words surprised the whole family once again. What’s happened to Yang Dong? Since when did he become so considerate, even knowing how to care for his wife?

Yang Ming’s mother couldn’t stop smiling, her son had truly figured things out and learned how to be considerate.

Before, she doubted if that food was really, as the second sister-in-law said, being asked by Xiaocui’s mother. Now it seemed it was indeed her son’s way of caring for his wife.

Thinking of it this way, she felt this engagement was well-set. Her youngest son had finally wised up and eagerly said, "Then tomorrow mom will boil an extra one in the morning, and you can give it to her."

"Okay, sure." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, just moments ago wondering if it was for Li Chuntao that changes were made.

Now he’s giving the egg to Yang Xiaocui, clearly, she and the second sister-in-law overthought things, Yang Dong wasn’t thinking about Li Chuntao at all.

It’s evident he was thinking about Yang Xiaocui.

She thought, although Yang Dong wasn’t old, he was rather mature, aware of his engagement, and wouldn’t consider such inappropriate things.

It seemed she didn’t need to ask Yang Dong about this matter anymore.

Quickly, everyone finished breakfast. Before Father Yang could leave, Yang Dong had already gone out ahead of time, clearly to deliver the egg to Yang Xiaocui first.

Upon seeing this, the second sister-in-law was dumbfounded, could she have been wrong?

Noticing the second sister-in-law’s puzzled look, Xiaoxiao patted her, "Second sister-in-law, we really overthought it. Let’s not imagine things in the future."
