Xia Jinxiu cleared her throat awkwardly. She was not lying. It really was such a coincidence.
But as smart as she was, she quickly changed the subject.
"This must be...Sister Lei!" Xia Jinxiu greeted with a smile.
Lei Jiuniang nodded slightly, "Sister Jinxiu."
[Sisters and sisters, it looks like my aunt doesn't object. ]
Xia Jinxiu smiled. What could she object to?
She herself is a woman, and she didn't realize it before, but now after doing some things, she feels more and more that it is not easy for a woman to achieve success, and how much blood and tears are involved.
She couldn't express her admiration for Lei Jiuniang enough.
How could a woman laugh at another woman? She also felt that women should live for themselves and not be bound by those messy rules.
Xia Jinheng was also happy that he had won the support of another person.
"Sister Lei, this is..."
"Oh, she happens to be free, so let's go home and meet mom."
"That's great." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile, and took Lei Jiuniang's hand affectionately. "My mother looks fierce, but she's actually very easy to talk to. My second and third sisters-in-law are also very easy to get along with. Especially when they see a capable person like Sister Lei, they must like her very much. To be honest, I think it's not easy for you to build such a big business by yourself."
Lei Jiuniang didn't know if Xia Jinheng had other intentions by speaking before her, but she felt that one should be open and honest.
"From now on... I'm afraid there will be no business for me."
Xia Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, "How... did you say that?"
Xia Jinheng laughed dryly twice, not knowing how to start.
Lei Jiuniang then told the whole story that had just happened in the Jin family.
She didn't mean to test him, she just didn't want to hide it.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jinxiu's reaction was beyond her expectations.
"This is too much, Fourth Brother, what do you do for a living?"
"Me?" Xia Jinheng pointed at himself, "What's wrong with me?"
"What else?" Xia Jinxiu was filled with righteous indignation. "The Jin family is too bullying. Sister Lei must have paid a lot over the years. How can they just give her a box and send her away? Sister Lei, I'm not after your things. I just feel that you are not worth it."
Xia Jinxiu took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and talk to them. If they don't give you what you deserve, I will make them pay for it."
Lei Jiuniang pursed her lips slightly, but what she was thinking in her heart was that this Jinxiu girl was not as unruly and spoiled as Xia Jinheng said.
What a warm heart.
Seeing his sister was like a wild horse that could not be stopped, Xia Jinheng quickly grabbed her and said, "My ancestor, don't be anxious. How can it catch fire so easily? At least listen to Jiu Niang's opinion!"
Xia Jinxiu glanced at the smiling Lei Jiuniang. In her opinion, the smile might be forced. "Sister Lei is a good person. She doesn't want to make a big fuss. She also cares about the reputation of their Jin family. But I'm not afraid. No one bullies people like this."
"My dear sister!" Lei Jiuniang also tried to dissuade her, "Sister knows you have good intentions, but this matter... don't be in a hurry, don't delay meeting aunt, come and help me choose gifts for everyone."
"Ah?" Xia Jinxiu thought she had misheard. "Sister Lei, why buy a gift when you are in this condition? Just go there and it will be fine. There is no need to say so much in our family."
Xia Zhiliao also nodded, "Aunt, no gifts are needed."
Lei Jiuniang shook her head. She was very good at etiquette.
Besides, who said she had no money?
But the Xia family is really nice. This aunt and niece basically embody all the qualities of the Xia family.
Xia Jinxiu couldn't persuade her, and Xia Jinheng couldn't persuade her even more. Lei Jiuniang still took everyone to buy gifts. Xia Jinxiu felt sorry for her money and kept asking her to buy cheap things.
Lei Jiuniang refused, saying that if she wanted to buy something, she would buy the better one.
When we arrived at Xia's house, it was almost dark.
The Xia family didn't expect Lei Jiuniang to come at this time. If Xia Jinheng hadn't shouted as soon as he got out of the car, Old Lady Xia wouldn't have dared to think about it.
It's here already?
She was a little reluctant, after all, her son was still a young man, and it wouldn't be a big deal for him to marry a virgin girl. But she had also thought about what her granddaughter said.
Lei Jiuniang should be a person of affection and righteousness, with good character, which cannot be bought with money.
With a vicious woman like Zhang, she was really scared.
"Mom, come out quickly!"
"Grandma! Aunt Lei is here!"
When Old Mrs. Xia heard this, she took a deep breath, put on her shoes and got off the kang.
Lei Jiuniang was almost entering the house. When she saw Old Lady Xia, she hurriedly bowed. After all, she was a woman who walked around outside, so her manners were very polite and there was nothing wrong with her.
"Aunt, I'm sorry for coming here so presumptuously."
Old Mrs. Xia nodded and looked at the woman in front of her. She looked good, a bit older, and one could tell at a glance that she was no longer a young girl, but she didn't look old either. Now that she was here, she had to come in, regardless of whether this matter could be accomplished in the future.
"Come in!"
Lei Jiuniang glanced at Xia Jinheng, who gave her a wink and let the person into the house.
Lei Jiuniang sat down. She was prepared that the old lady might not agree.
The matter happened a little suddenly, and Mrs. Xia hadn't thought about what to say yet.
Xia Zhiliao sat next to Old Mrs. Xia and was a little anxious.
[Grandma, why is she silent? What does it mean? Aunt Lei offended her husband's family in order to marry my fourth uncle. This friendship is so precious. I have to let Grandma know.]
Old Mrs. Xia was stunned. Is this true?
According to what the children said before, Lei Jiuniang’s husband’s family should be very wealthy. How can she not even live like this?
Just to marry her son from the countryside?
What’s the point?
Old Mrs. Xia was deeply touched.
"Mom, she's right here, you saw her too." Xia Jinheng thought for a moment. He was a man, so he had to say something. He couldn't let the embarrassment go on like this. "Jiu Niang is really a good person. She thinks highly of me and doesn't want anything from me. I can't find a woman like her even if I search with a lantern. You're the most open-minded one. You'll agree, right?"
He didn't dare say that he would marry her even if she didn't agree.
Old Madam Xia sneered twice, "What if I don't agree?"
"This..." Xia Jinheng looked at his mother with a depressed face, "How can you...how can you not agree? Just agree, right?"
Seeing that the old lady still had a stern face, he said, "Even if you don't agree, I have to marry her. She broke up with the Jin family because of me. I can't let her suffer any more. Mother, can you help us?"
Lei Jiuniang looked at Old Lady Xia, wondering in her heart what the old lady meant.
Old Lady Xia was being watched by everyone. She took a deep breath and said, "Have you really thought about marrying this boy of mine?"
