"Sir, you don't need to overthink it."
Madam Xu poured Jiang Huai a cup of hot tea and comforted him, "Our Baozhu just bought the bookcase, and the He family found out. The mother and son have come to test the waters."
Xu only cared about her daughter and had a lukewarm impression of He Xing. After hearing He Xing's remarks, she didn't take them to heart.
On the contrary, Xu believed that it was a good thing to see He Xing's true colors so as not to get himself on a bad side.
"What He Xingniang meant was that she wanted to visit more often. Although she didn't mention Baozhu's marriage, that was the gist of her words."
When Xu mentioned He Xing's mother, she frowned.
The He family used to live in a large courtyard in town. He Xingniang took on a laundry job in the winter, which was hard and tiring, but she managed to make ends meet. Later, her husband died unexpectedly, and she started to live a better life.
He Xingniang was inherently ambitious but also lazy and gluttonous.
“If Baozhu marries into the He family and has a mother-in-law like that, no matter how much dowry she brings, it will be completely taken advantage of.”
Everyone else has brothers to support them, but Baozhu is an only child. After her husband and wife are gone, she will be all alone. Thinking about this, Madam Xu felt terrible.
Xu and Jiang Huai had gone through thick and thin together, and their relationship was undeniably strong. However, she couldn't get over the fact that her husband was going to have a child with a concubine.
“Although our Baozhu is quiet, she is a clear-headed person; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken a liking to Zhang Jing.”
Mentioning Zhang Jing brought a smile to Jiang Huai's face. He had heard that Zhang Jing's neighbors all spoke highly of him.
The Jiang family and the He family interacted frequently. Jiang Huai thought he should be more careful in the future. After the New Year, the family would move to the county to avoid the He family and prevent them from causing trouble and ruining his daughter Baozhu's reputation.
