Just as she expected, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, hoping she would say the next thing.
"The Li family isn't a good family, especially the one Jiang Xiaohua is going to marry, Li Linshu, he's even worse."
"He got that job by climbing up to a minor manager in his factory. In the end, the manager's daughter broke up with him because she disliked his drinking every day."
"That's all?" Liu Pandi said, dissatisfied. This was not what she wanted to hear.
This gossip is so boring, you could just ignore it. It's completely unoriginal.
"How could that be! I saw Li Linshu when I went to the town hospital for a checkup that day. I was so curious that I followed him. Guess what I heard?" the auntie whispered cautiously.
"Oh dear! What did you hear? Stop keeping me in suspense!" Liu Pandi exclaimed impatiently.
This person keeps stopping and starting; it's really unpleasant.
“Exactly,” Lin Rufang chimed in.
"That Li Linshu tree doesn't seem suitable," Zhou Su said in a low voice, stopping her snacking on sunflower seeds and staring intently at the crowd, wanting to know their reactions.
As expected, the reactions of the others did not disappoint her; they all looked incredulous.
Even Jiang's mother stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was hearing.
She really thought Jiang Xiaohua had found a good family, but now she's hearing all this.
Wow!
"Tsk... If that's really the case, would Lin Cuihua still let Jiang Xiaohua marry him if she found out?" Liu Pandi really wanted to see how Lin Cuihua would react after she found out about this.
"Don't even think about it. With such a high dowry, Lin Cuihua won't care about that." Lin Rufang pouted.
She knew Lin Cuihua's appearance better than anyone.
He puts on a good person's face, but is a villain in private.
She could hear Lin Cuihua cursing every day.
This annoyed Lin Cuihua, who lived next door.
Sometimes she really wanted to run up and knock on the door to ask the other person to be quiet. You can't just swear, can you? But if they can swear so loudly that the neighbors can hear them clearly, that's just annoying.
“That’s true. Apart from her son, Lin Cuihua is practically obsessed with money,” Liu Pandi agreed.
She was the one who wanted to break the deal; that was absolutely wrong of her.
"Don't say that, Lin Cuihua is just that kind of person, she can't change." Sun Lilan shook her head helplessly.
If Lin Cuihua hadn't been so sexist, Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaohua wouldn't be in this situation now.
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore," Lin Rufang interrupted them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Anxia, inside the room, strained her ears, trying to hear what was being discussed in the main room.
Unfortunately, what she heard was a jumbled mess.
She kept mentioning Jiang Xiaohua one minute, Lin Cuihua the next, and even more absurdly, she heard Li Linshu's name mentioned.
Jiang Anxia was extremely curious.
What exactly did they say to reveal these people's names?
I'm so curious, so incredibly curious.
Jiang Anxia is like a 2G network right now, she knows nothing.
Time passed by, and the people who came to the Jiang family left one after another, until only Sun Lilan remained.
"Alright, I'm going back now. My family is waiting for me to cook!" Sun Lilan clapped her hands and stood up.
"Stop with the nonsense, just eat here. I don't believe they won't cook if you don't go back," Jiang's mother said sternly, not letting Sun Lilan leave.
"Then I'll go back and tell them, okay?" Sun Lilan's mind raced, and a little idea popped into her head.
"Let Xiaxia go? Does she really think I don't know? Once you go back, you won't come back." Jiang's mother knew exactly what Sun Lilan was planning.
So what if she goes back and doesn't come back? Did you really think she wouldn't think of that?
“You really are…” Sun Lilan sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Well, now that we can't leave, we might as well stay.
"Xiaxia, Xiaxia." To prevent Sun Lilan from changing her mind, Jiang's mother quickly called out to Jiang Anxia.
"Ah! What's wrong, Mom?" Jiang Anxia opened the door, puzzled, and looked at her mother.
"Go to your aunt's house and tell her that she's having dinner at our house, and that they don't need to wait," Jiang's mother instructed clearly.
"Okay." Hearing this, Jiang Anxia nodded obediently, put her hands in her pockets, and walked out.
The north wind is blowing, and the snowflakes are falling.
The child braved the wind and snow to go home.
Jiang Anxia's mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, which made her feel quite disgusted.
Why did this idea come to mind so suddenly?
Shaking her head, Jiang Anxia focused her attention on the road beneath her feet.
We are taking it one step at a time, with our feet firmly on the ground.
Soon, Jiang Anxia saw the Sun family's house. She walked a few steps quickly, reached the door, and knocked lightly.
"They're here." A voice Jiang Anxia recognized most came from the courtyard; it was Wang Yuejiao.
"Hey! Xiaxia, what brings you here?" Wang Yuejiao looked at Jiang Anxia at the door with surprise.
She never expected that Jiang Anxia would come to her house at this time.
"I just came to let you know that my aunt is having dinner at my house, so you don't need to wait for her," Jiang Anxia said with a light laugh, explaining her purpose.
"No wonder. I knew you wouldn't be going out at this time of day." Hearing that Jiang Anxia hadn't come to see her, Wang Yuejiao's face fell.
"Okay! I'll come see you again next time, okay?" Jiang Anxia saw Wang Yuejiao's bright eyes dim slightly and couldn't help but comfort her.
"Alright! Let's go in." Wang Yuejiao reached out and grabbed Jiang Anxia, trying to pull her into the courtyard.
"No, my mom is waiting for me to come back." Jiang Anxia gently shook her head and refused.
"It's always like this." Wang Yuejiao pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Really, I'm not lying to you!" Jiang Anxia quickly reassured Wang Yuejiao.
"Alright! Then drive carefully on your way back and watch your step." Wang Yuejiao sighed softly, released Jiang Anxia, and waved her hand helplessly.
"Okay, don't worry!" Jiang Anxia replied with a smile when she saw Wang Yuejiao let go of her.
"Go back!" Wang Yuejiao turned her head away, refusing to look at her.
"Then I'll go back. You should go in too!" After saying that, Jiang Anxia turned and left.
Wang Yuejiao sighed softly, watching Jiang Anxia's figure grow smaller and smaller until she could no longer see him before closing the door.
When Jiang Anxia returned home, her mother had already prepared the dishes and brought them to the main room.
"You're back. Go wash your hands and eat. There's hot water in that wooden basin in the kitchen; use that to wash your hands," Jiang's mother said carefully, holding up the bowl and chopsticks.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Anxia nodded knowingly.
This must have been placed there by Jiang's mother, just waiting for her to take it to wash her hands.
"Go ahead!" Mother Jiang nodded gently, then walked towards the main room.
Seeing this, Jiang Anxia quickly went to the kitchen, washed her hands, and hurried towards the main room.
Sure enough, when she arrived, she was the only one missing; everyone else was already sitting and waiting for her.
