Chapter 444 The Boss is So Popular

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just afraid you'll still be hung up on Chen Feng."

The eldest brother looked down at the ground, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Marry a woman you like as soon as possible, a woman who knows how to cherish you and is sensible, and your life will be easier in the future."

Song Chunxue understood her boss's temperament. If he were the kind of man who was firm and decisive, he would never have been so indulgent towards Chen Feng in this life or the next. He was just indecisive and couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.

The reason she said she wanted to divorce her today was because Chen Feng gave her a reason, and she pushed him hard.

The eldest brother only hardened his heart when faced with the presence of his older sister, younger brother, and a group of others.

Otherwise, Chen Feng had already bought rat poison, so what was he waiting for?

He just felt that Chen Feng wouldn't dare to do anything to him; he was just furious.

The eldest child's personality is determined from birth: weak, indecisive, and cannot be changed by others.

"Yes, that makes sense," the eldest said gently. "Will Mother take me with her?"

Song Chunxue smiled faintly, "So you've still taken a liking to the Xu family's daughter? You're going to the Xu family to propose marriage?"

The eldest brother lowered his head and smiled shyly, which could be considered as acquiescence.

If I remember correctly, he said before that Xu Dahong was only fifteen years old. Does that mean the boss likes older men dating younger women?

However, being small has its advantages; at least it won't be like Chen Feng, who doesn't restrain himself from beating and scolding and is full of rebellious spirit.

"Hmm, I think the Xu family girl is quite nice. She's pretty and capable. She made me a pair of shoes before, but I didn't want them. However, the stitching looks good."

"..." Song Chunxue was very surprised. So it turns out that the eldest brother was quite devoted to Chen Feng before.

If she hadn't said those things on purpose yesterday, he wouldn't have thought of taking a concubine even though he had a little money.

"Alright, mutual affection is the rarest thing, so the Xu family it is. I won't go tomorrow, let your sister and brother-in-law, and the fourth child go with you, and I'll go when the engagement is later."

Sanwa is more resourceful than any of them. Tomorrow, let him go to the Xu family to investigate. If there are no major problems, then we'll make a decision.

The eldest brother let out a long sigh of relief. "That's fine. If the Xu family is difficult to deal with, there's no need to go there in the future."

That was settled, and the mother and son went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The next day, after the rooster crowed, Song Chunxue woke up and turned over.

On the large kang (heated brick bed) in the west room, she squeezed together with Hongying and the two children. Xiaobao's feet were pressed against her back, and the tip of her nose was pressed against the wall.

Hongying got up and moved Xiaobao aside, while Song Chunxue continued to sleep with her head down until the sun shone on the eaves before she got up.

As she sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed), she realized that Jiang Huan had slept with Hong Ying last night, with Hong Ying cuddling Xiao Bao and comforting Jiang Huan.

Seeing the tear stains on Jiang Huan's face, Song Chunxue felt a pang of pity.

But it only lasted for a short while, and was gone in an instant.

She doesn't regret her decision; Chen Feng teaches children much the same way she did in her previous life.

The two daughters are quite good. Jiang Huanren is not good-looking, but he is idle, ambitious but incompetent. The key is that he has high standards. Compared to A Lai, at least no one calls him a fool.

But many people say he's not smart, and he's remained a bachelor all his life.

Although Jiang Huan had been spoiled and turned into a simpleton, Chen Feng felt that her son had a limitless future.

Farmers want a capable son-in-law, and no normal person would be interested in Jiang Huan.

The only women willing to marry Jiang Huan are those with physical disabilities, but Jiang Huan is unwilling to do so…

Perhaps if Jiang Huan were taught by a different teacher, he might have a brighter future.

As I got dressed and went to the kitchen, a group of people who were talking animatedly in hushed tones suddenly turned around.

"Mother, was Chen Feng really divorced? Didn't they fight last night?"

Seeing the fourth brother's excited look, Song Chunxue responded calmly, "Yeah, no fight broke out. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Hehe, a little," the fourth brother couldn't help but look at the eldest brother who was eating his steamed bun with his head down, "Big brother, you said you wanted us to go to the Xu family today, you weren't joking, were you?"

The second and third children, along with Hongying and her husband, all looked over at the same time.

Seeing their cheeks puffed out like grass-eating goats, Song Chunxue almost couldn't hold back.

“When did I ever joke about something like this? I’m afraid your eldest brother might change his mind and feel sorry for Chen Feng. It would be better to let him marry a new wife. You all go to the Xu family. My second brother and I will stay at home.”

Song Chunxue looked at Sanwa and said, "If you feel that the Xu family is taking advantage of you or is difficult to deal with, just come back. Then spread the news that your eldest brother is getting married, and there will be plenty of people coming to propose marriage."

Sanwa was flattered and surprised. "Huh? I'm going?"

He looked at his elder brother, Jiang Yeming, and asked, "I can't make a decision, can I?"

“Why not? You started managing the household three years ago, and now you’ve even finished your studies. I think you have a good eye for people, and with your sister and brother-in-law, you can make decisions about this.” Song Chunxue stated, “If it works out, we’ll marry him as soon as possible to take care of Jiang Huan.”

The third brother looked at his eldest brother and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, sure."

Although he felt a little unhappy about having his third brother help him with his marriage, the thought of the Xu family girl's bright, sparkling eyes made him want to go as soon as possible, lest she be sold by her family to an old bachelor.

Even if Xu Dahong's marriage is already arranged, as long as they are not married yet, her parents will change their minds if they give her more money.

The fourth brother rubbed his hands together. "It's making me want to get married soon too. Let's go after dinner. My taste is no worse than the third brother's."

The second son didn't say anything, thinking to himself that his mother still favored the eldest son.

However, he wouldn't say it out loud, lest he disappoint his mother for nothing.

Half an hour later, Song Chunxue, Mulan, and the second son stayed behind to look after the four children, while the others took two boxes of pastries to the Xu family.

"Mother, how about we take the children to the field to pick buckwheat?"

Xia Mulan didn't want to see the grain fall to the ground, so she took Jiang Huan's hand and handed him a pair of old gloves, saying, "Come back early so it won't be too sunny."

Song Chunxue liked Mulan's eagerness even more than hers. "Okay, let's go and come back as soon as possible. I didn't expect Jiang Huan to be so attached to you."

With his mother absent, Jiang Huan held Xia Mulan's hand tightly and looked timidly at Song Chunxue.

Xia Mulan sighed softly, "Children without mothers are the most pitiful."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their four children to the fields and leisurely returned home around noon.

Upon entering, they saw several people sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea from a tea stove.

"Aunt Jiang is back! I didn't expect you to still be doing farm work. It's really rare to see you like this." Li Mengchun's wife stood up with a smile and spoke first. "I heard Chen Feng was divorced? Poor Jiang Huan, he's so young and has no mother to take care of him."

“Yes, yes,” Zhao Yufang also stood up with a smile, “Such a young child definitely needs a stepmother to take care of him. My sister’s child is sixteen this year, of marriageable age. He’s very good-looking, has taken care of his younger siblings since he was little, and knows how to take care of children. Would you like to see him sometime?”

Wang's wife, who was standing nearby, said, "My sister is not married either. She is more virtuous than me and can cook better than me. My mother relies on her for everything at home. Your eldest son will definitely like her. She is very beautiful."

"..." Song Chunxue looked astonished. She never dreamed that the boss who divorced Chen Feng would be so popular.
