Let's Get Married

When her aunt heard what she said, the smile on her face could not hold anymore. She shrugs as if she is cornered, “Bree, why do you say this, where did I upset her? How can you blame me and Ricky for Lily’s misfortune this year!”

“It’s evident who set off the provoking.” Bree is mad, but she mutters in a small voice, “You just can’t see others better than you!”

“You!” Her aunt is blocked till speechless, red and blue colored crisscross on her face.

The atmosphere is wrong here, the old people in the family also notice which make them look at the direction with dissatisfaction, “What’s wrong, why are you arguing on the Chinese New Year!”

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t say anything just now. Bree insists that I mock Lily. I know that Lily is indeed quite unhappy this year, I just mentioned it casually and she takes it seriously….”

“Are you saying casually?” Bree is honest and could not tell lies, “Your speech is full of divorce, if you didn’t upset her, then what?”

The two elderly in the family are both to Ricky’s favor. So they said partially, “Bree, don’t be angry. It’s New Year, polite and amiable is better!”

His words mean like Bree had just deliberately made the mess.

She stands from her seat and walks to the side of her aunt, then takes back the boxes of caterpillar fungus and bird’s nest, “At first, I want to give it to you as a gift but since you don’t appreciate it, then it’s fine. And grandpa is right, New Year is meant to be harmonious. Aunty, we didn’t want to compare anything. If Ricky is good, then I’m happy than anyone else. My mom
