When Mr. Zhang saw that Mei Xiangcao was very attentive to him and the three children were also respectful to him, he knew that he was very important, and Mei Xiangcao did not dare to refuse him face.

She waved her hand: "Vanilla, you don't have to rush. I came here today to discuss something happy with you."

He turned and glanced at Jiang Ye, who was looking down at him, and said to him, "Jiang Ye, you grew up under Grandpa Zhang's watch. Grandpa Zhang has always had high hopes for you. Even though your family still hasn't gotten rid of the label of the "Five Black Categories," Grandpa Zhang has never looked down on you and has always thought you're great. It's not just me, Xiaoyan has always had a good impression of you, too."

Turning to look at Mei Xiangcao, he said, "To be honest, I originally wanted to arrange a marriage for them when they were in their teens to continue the friendship between our two families. However, Xiaoyan was a little young at that time, so I put it aside. Unfortunately, Jiang Ye was washed away by a flood. Everyone said he would not survive, but Xiaoyan still waited for him for four years. Some people tried to matchmake her with good guys, but she rejected them all.

She said she believed her brother Jiang Ye was not dead, and she would wait for Jiang Ye to come back. Perhaps the heavens were moved, and Jiang Ye actually came back alive. Let's arrange a marriage between the two of them, let the two lovers fall in love and marry each other, and our two families will be closer, which will also be considered a wish of your father and me.

Despite his age, his acting skills were so good that he spoke some sentimental words that he might have moved himself and even took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Although his acting was very realistic, Mei Xiangcao knew the reason why Zhang Xiaoyan was still not engaged.

He wasn't waiting for Jiang Ye at all.

The Zhang family felt that Zhang Xiaoyan was pretty, and had already announced that they would only go on blind dates with men who had jobs in the county town; no one else would be considered.

For a country girl like her, it was almost as difficult for her to find a working young man in the city as it was for her to find a job in the city. There was no suitable one, and she looked down on other young men in the village. She was neither too high nor too low, so she had never gotten married.

When Mr. Zhang said this, it seemed as if Zhang Xiaoyan had deep feelings for Jiang Ye.

Not to mention whether her son has a girl he likes in his heart, she would not let a two-faced woman like Zhang Xiaoyan into the house, not to mention that Zhang Xiaoyan has a difficult family behind her.

"Uncle Zhang, it seems your trip was in vain. Our Aye already has a girl he likes and can't get engaged to Xiaoyan. I don't agree with what you just said, that Xiaoyan waited for Aye for four years, because I heard a long time ago that Xiaoyan was looking for a gay man in the city as a partner, and she didn't wait for our Aye any longer."

"What?" Mr. Zhang didn't expect that even though he came, Mei Xiangcao would still refuse, really not giving him any face. "Xiangcao, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Those people think that Xiangcao has never married, so they say nonsense. There is no such thing.

As for what you said about Jiang Ye having a crush on someone, who is it? Tell me the name and see if she is worthy of Jiang Ye. If that girl is not as good as our Xiaoyan, then why do you still like her? "

Mei Xiangcao couldn't tell the girl's name, so she could only say, "Uncle Zhang, I've already said this much. Whether I tell you the girl's name or not, there's no chance for Aye and Xiaoyan to be together. You could help Xiaoyan find a young man in the city. Wouldn't that be better than marrying into our family?"

Mr. Zhang felt that Mei Xiangcao was making sarcastic remarks and mocking him. "Xiangcao, Xiaoyan really likes Jiang Ye. You can't take children's feelings lightly."

"I always respect my children, so I respect their decision. Uncle Zhang, you're a sensible person, so why force things? A forced melon won't be sweet. Besides, you know Ah Ye's personality. If he doesn't like something, he can't tie them together, even if he has to."

Mr. Zhang pressed Jiang Ye again: "Tell me, who do you like? Tell me."

Jiang Ye was not as concerned about the friendship between the two families as Mei Xiangcao was, nor did he give face to Old Master Zhang. He said four words with a cold face: "No comment!"

"You, you kid." Old Master Zhang was furious. "You said you had a partner, but I asked you and you didn't tell me. If you didn't tell me, you don't have a partner."

"I won't get engaged to Zhang Xiaoyan if I don't have a partner. I don't like her. She can get engaged to whoever she wants."

"You, you, you." Old Master Zhang stood up from his chair angrily, his face turning green.

Mei Xiangcao pretended to advise him, "Uncle Zhang, this kid has been honest since he was young. He doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve and only speaks the truth. You must not be angry with him."

If this old man gets angry enough, the Zhang family will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble, but there is no way they will let her son get engaged to Zhang Xiaoyan.

Old Master Zhang was determined not to give up until he got the Jiang family's treasure. He pointed at Jiang Ye and said, "Jiang Ye, you can't let Xiaoyan down. Xiaoyan has been waiting for you for four years. You must give her an explanation."

"You said she waited and she waited? Then tell me, in these four years when I was away from home, how much help did you give to our family? What did Zhang Xiaoyan do for our family?"

"No, nothing." Jiang Yang and Jiang Ting answered together.

Jiang Ye: "What you call waiting is just watching my family suffer and standing by coldly. She should find a partner herself, and when she can't find one, she says she's waiting for me. You say it better than singing. Should we believe and accept everything you say?"

"No, no, Jiang Ye, listen to what Grandpa Zhang said, Xiaoyan really only likes you."

"But I don't like her, that's enough, don't mention it again. I make my own decisions about my life. If you say it again, even if my mom doesn't kick you out, I will kick you out."
