"Is that so? That's such a pity!" An old lady standing in the crowd said with regret. She frowned slightly, and her eyes showed disappointment. Every wrinkle on her face, which had been weathered by the years, seemed to tell a story of the past. She shook her head slightly, as if sighing for a missed opportunity.

Another middle-aged woman waved her hand at Sun Qingshan and said enthusiastically, "Qingshan, it's okay. I can ask my son to wait at home." The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of expectation, and her tone was eager and sincere. She was wearing a simple blue coat and her hair was neatly combed behind her head. Although she was no longer young, she exuded a kind of tenacity in life. She leaned forward slightly, her hands waving unconsciously, as if she wanted to enhance the persuasiveness of her words through her actions.

"Yes, yes, my child can do it too." Seeing this, an old man also hurriedly expressed his opinion. The old man was a little hunched, but his eyes were particularly firm. He was wearing an old military uniform, which was a little faded, but still neat and clean. His face was full of wrinkles, which were the traces left by the years. He raised one hand, trembling slightly, as if to cheer for his proposal.

At this moment, the third aunt was about to stand up and express her opinion, but was stopped by Yan Bugui, who shook his head at her. Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of shrewdness.

"You can wait if you want!" Sun Qingshan's voice broke the brief silence. There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. Sun Qingshan was tall, with a resolute face, and wore a neat Zhongshan suit. He raised his chin slightly and glanced at everyone, as if thinking about something.

"But let me make it clear first, I didn't promise you that your children would enter our tavern." Sun Qingshan's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. His tone was firm and unquestionable. He folded his hands over his chest, frowned slightly, and seemed to be troubled by the enthusiasm of the crowd.

"Okay, okay." Everyone nodded with a smile. Everyone's faces showed understanding smiles. They knew Sun Qingshan's difficulties and his caution. Everyone nodded in agreement, but there was still a hint of expectation in their eyes. In the crowd, some people rubbed their hands lightly, and some pursed their lips slightly. Everyone was making their own calculations in their hearts.

Afterwards, Sun Qingshan took his wife Xu Huizhen home. Sun Qingshan walked in front with firm steps, while Xu Huizhen followed quietly behind him.

Seeing Sun Qingshan leave, the third aunt hurriedly asked: "No, why didn't you let me say it just now? What if someone else got there first? That would be a pity!" The third aunt's face was full of anxiety and confusion. She blushed slightly, and her eyes revealed reluctance. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she was upset about the missed opportunity.

"What the hell, didn't you see Qingshan was unwilling at all?" Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at his wife. His eyes were full of reproach, and his tone was a little helpless. Yan Bugui shook his head slightly.

"Qingshan probably didn't plan to look for his men in the yard." Yan Bugui continued, his eyes revealing a wisdom that sees through everything. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling Sun Qingshan's expression and words, trying to find more clues from them.

"Ah, this..." Seeing this, the third aunt looked at her man. Her eyes were full of surprise and confusion.
