Chapter 2 Jiang Xinlan

In the afternoon, Jiang Xinlan walked into her yard with her chest puffed out and a proud look on her face. When she saw her little sister drying clothes in the yard, she immediately took out a meat bun wrapped in oil paper from her cloth bag and handed it to her, "Here, here you go. Don't say that my second sister treated you badly. This is something I saved from my teeth."

Jiang Xinbai clapped her hands and took it without hesitation. Touching the bun which was still warm, she couldn't help but take a bite. Well, the meat ones are delicious. Although she has been eating meat frequently recently, it would be a waste not to eat it if it's free.

Then he looked at his second sister who was beaming with joy and smiled, "Is good news coming soon? Has Zhao Yitai's family agreed?"

Jiang Xinlan pursed her lips, "He has already discussed it with his parents. He will go back and discuss it today. If it is possible, he will come to propose marriage in the next few days."

In the time it took to say these few words, Jiang Xinbai had already eaten a meat bun. She rinsed her mouth with warm water and washed her hands to prevent other people at home from smelling it.

Then he pulled his second sister into the house and reminded her quietly, "Then you must completely cut off all ties with Zhou Zhiqing to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Xinlan rolled her eyes at her sister, "You want me to say it? Besides, I didn't talk to him. I just said a few more words. Besides, I'm hanging him, and he's hanging other people too. No one can blame anyone else. Don't worry, it's okay."

"Just keep it to yourself."

In the evening, just after the Jiang family finished dinner, Jiang Xinlan couldn't wait to announce a big news.

"Mom and Dad, I've found a date myself. He lives in the city and works in a steel factory. He will come to propose marriage in the next two days. You should be ready."

"What the hell?" Chen Cui'e was bewildered, then she became furious, stood up, and grabbed Jiang Xinlan's ear, "You dead girl, what did you say? What do you mean by coming to propose marriage? You just agreed to it after we agreed. I will beat you to death." As she spoke, she slapped Jiang Xinlan hard several times, causing Jiang Xinlan to scream repeatedly.

"Mom, please don't hit me. You're the one who urged me to get married, but now that I've found a partner, you're not willing to do it anymore. Are you looking for trouble?"

"You said I was looking for trouble? I'll beat you to death, you dead girl." Chen Cui'e twisted Jiang Xinlan's waist a few more times. This was too outrageous. She even made the decision on her own. She really didn't take them seriously.

"Mom, mom, calm down and listen to what your second sister says first." Jiang Xinbai received the look for help from her second sister, and quickly stepped forward to grab her mother and patted her on the back.

"Okay, old woman, stop hitting me. Take the children out. The adults are talking about something. You guys go out and play." Jiang Youtian frowned and drove all the children out of the house.

Wu Hehua and Sun Ju looked at each other, and both of them showed excitement on their faces. Xiaolan is so great that she can even marry into the city. Well, if I had known this, I would have said less on a normal day. I hope Xiaolan didn't take it to heart.

Jiang Youtian tapped the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's going on? I asked your mother to find several girls for you, but you didn't like any of them. So you're waiting here. Tell me what's going on."

Jiang Xinlan rubbed her painful waist, straightened her body and said seriously: "Mom and Dad, it's not that I'm hiding it, it's mainly because I'm not sure what the attitude of other people's families is..."

"What? The man doesn't agree? Why are you still rushing to marry him? With your looks, it's not like you can't get married. Aren't you just degrading yourself?"

Chen Cui'e was not happy when she heard this. How could others despise her own child? Although she was from the countryside, she did not want anything from them and was not inferior to them.

Wu Hehua curled her lips. What her mother-in-law said was right. If a rural person wants to marry into the city, he has to be a few inches shorter. She really thinks her daughter is a gold nugget.

"Mom," Jiang Xinlan saw that her mother was angry, and hurriedly explained: "No, Mom, the Zhao family is indeed well-off. All the men in the family have formal jobs, and even his mother got a temporary job in the street, so it's no wonder that they are picky."

"Oh, then why are you willing now?" Chen Cui'e felt uncomfortable again when she saw that the man was so good, but she was too embarrassed to soften herself, so she could only pretend to be disdainful and asked.

Jiang Xinlan looked at her father and mother and whispered, "It's because Zhao Yitai loves me that you gave birth to me so beautifully."

Chen Cui'e could no longer pretend and scolded with a smile: "You naughty girl, you are praising yourself." But she was not bragging. Her daughters all inherited her fair skin and double eyelids. Their eyes are big and bright, and they are prettier than ordinary people.

"But..." Jiang Xinlan glanced at her mother and added, "There's nothing else. It's just that Yitai has an extra little finger on his left hand. I don't think it matters. It doesn't affect his life anyway."

"Ah, this." Chen Cui'e's face showed some displeasure when she heard it, "Will the children born in the future be like this? How ugly."

Seeing that his father's face also turned bad, Jiang Xinbai quickly said, "Dad, Six Fingers is nothing. Just be good to Second Sister. You have always been worried about Second Sister. Now she has found a son-in-law for you in the city. Isn't this great?"

Wu Hehua slapped her thigh and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, what my younger sister said is right. Just be nice to my younger sister. I've seen it a long time ago. My younger sister is blessed. Look, she has found a rich husband. My younger sister, my elder sister-in-law knows that you have a promising future."

Jiang Xinbai rolled his eyes secretly, haha, now it sounds nice, who was it before that disliked the second sister for being lazy.

Jiang Xinlan hugged her mother's arm and shook it, "Mom, I think Zhao Yitai is very good, you and Dad should agree to it."

"Don't waver. Just agree to whatever you want. Wait, I'll ask someone to find out about the Zhao family tomorrow. Even if you agree, can I still marry you like this? You have to agree to it clearly. What if they are hiding something bad from you?"

Chen Cui'e thought a lot. Although the second girl was pretty, she was not pretty enough to make the Zhao family, who were so well-off, fall in love with her. There might be some tricks involved, and she must find out the truth.

Jiang Xinlan wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth after meeting her younger sister's gaze.

"Okay, let's all go, old woman, boss. Tomorrow you accompany your mother to the county to ask around." Jiang Youtian said the last sentence and got up to go back to the house.

Jiang Baoguo was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
