"You're really getting married?" Big Aunt asked Gong Mo. "Where's your fiancé?"
"He went back. You'll be able to meet him tomorrow," said Gong Mo.
"Why such a rush? I've never even heard a peep about this before!" Third Uncle said reproachfully.
Gong Mo explained, "I never thought about getting married so early, but he was going to the capital for work, so I'm going with him. I don't know when I can come back, so I thought we should get married first. It'd be more convenient when we're there. If he happens to make good progress in his career, I'll be able to have a share if he decides perhaps to buy a house there."
As she said that, Gong Mo couldn't help but chuckle at the end.
Little Aunt sniggered. "Enough, we're family. Why tell us such a grandiose tale? We know what you're talking about."
Puzzled, Gong Mo asked, "What did I say? I don't get what you mean, Little Aunt."
