Jiang Li lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time. The grandparents and grandchildren insisted on looking at her, waiting for her to give in.
"Actually, what difference does it make whether we get married or not? There's no need to get a marriage certificate, right?"
"If the relationship is good, it's just a piece of paper. If the relationship is bad, even if there is a piece of paper, it can't save the marriage. So I really think there is no point in getting married."
Jiang Li accidentally said what she was thinking. She had originally been a person who did not want to marry or have children. These ideas were deeply rooted in her heart and would not be easy to change in a short period of time.
Grandma was about to persuade her, but Shen Changan waved her hand.
"Grandma, since Xiao Li still needs to consider it, let's not force her. If I treat her well, she will definitely see it. I will not give up the proposal. It depends on when she will agree."
Shen Changan stopped his grandmother from speaking. At first, his grandmother did not believe what her grandson said, but now that she met Jiang Li in person, she realized that what her grandson said was not false at all.
Jiang Li is really different from other girls. She doesn't seem to have the concept of marriage in her mind.
She just deliberately gave in to test her. Even her grandson came to help, but she was still unmoved.
Grandma grabbed Jiang Li's hand tightly and squeezed it again and again in her palm.
"Changan, I heard from the school that you have resigned?"
Grandma changed the subject in time, and Shen Changan nodded in acknowledgement.
"You said earlier that Jiang Yi was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital because he came in first in the math competition. It's almost the end of August, so he should be going to the provincial capital, right?"
Shen Changan nodded again, and this time he took the initiative to speak without his grandmother asking any more questions.
"We'll be leaving in a few days. Jiang Li will be going with us for work."
Shen Changan was a little excited when he talked about this. At least they didn't have to separate and could continue to cultivate their relationship together.
For a father, watching his child grow and improve little by little every day is a joy of harvest.
When grandma heard that Jiang Li was going too, she couldn't stop smiling.
I was originally a little worried that they would break up and it would affect their relationship.
"Shall the two children come too?"
Then the grandmother thought of her two children and immediately asked excitedly.
"Of course, the second child is still drinking breast milk, Jiang Li will definitely not be separated from them."
In order not to worry grandma, Shen Changan quickly took over the conversation.
When she thought about seeing her two great-grandchildren every day, grandma smiled so hard that her teeth showed.
"That's good, that's good. By the way, where will you live after you arrive in the provincial capital? My house is very big and we have a nanny to take care of us. If Jiang Li brings the child to live here, Yuying and I can help take care of the child."
Grandma volunteered to take care of her great-grandson, but Jiang Li quickly refused.
"Grandma, I have saved some money and want to buy a house in the provincial capital."
Jiang Li meant that he would buy a house with his own money and live in it by himself, instead of living with them.
To be honest, in this day and age, it is rare to find a girl who can speak so confidently relying solely on her own abilities without relying on her family.
"A house is not cheap. If you spend all your money on it, it may reduce your quality of life."
Grandma is not a domineering old person. She hurried to persuade him, but Jiang Li smiled and shook his head.
"Grandma, no, I have hands and feet, I can keep making money, even if I buy a house, my source of income will not be cut off."
Seeing Jiang Li speak so confidently, the usually eloquent grandmother didn't know where to start for a moment.
"But, but you will definitely not be able to take care of two children by yourself. With the help of Yuying and me, it will be much easier for you and you can spend more time on work."
"Grandma, I'm fine. When my child was just born, the conditions weren't as good as they are now. I managed to get through it with my brother and two children."
Jiang Li clearly rejected grandma's request, and it was the first time that grandma witnessed a person's stubbornness.
Moreover, she couldn't use her status to put pressure on this person, so she could only persuade him with kind words.
Grandma nodded and made up her mind. When you settle down in the provincial capital, if you don’t live at my house, I can live at yours, right?
"Since you insist so much, I won't force you. I'm old and can't control the affairs of you young people. Just do whatever you want."
Grandma let go of Jiang Li's hand in disappointment, and turned her head to the side, looking dejected.
Shen Changan put his arm around his grandmother's shoulders and patted her back gently. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.
His own proposal was rejected, which was a big blow to him. Now he really has no energy to comfort his grandmother.
"So when are you planning to leave? I'll go with you then, okay?"
Grandma made up her mind that she must see Jiang Li and his sister go to the provincial capital with her own eyes, otherwise she would not feel at ease.
"Grandma, we'll leave in the next two days."
"Well, your house is quite big, so there must be some spare rooms at home, right? Hurry up and arrange a place for me to stay."
The grandmother, who had been feeling depressed just now, immediately stood up and opened the door of every room to take a look.
Shen Changan's house is relatively large, with a total of 5 rooms.
Now there are three rooms occupied, and there are two empty rooms left, which is just right for her and Yuying to have one room each.
"Grandma, Chang'an and I will go to town to buy groceries. It's not easy for you to come here, so you should rest at home first."
"I can't sleep. Go get my great-grandson. I want to play with the little baby."
Grandma became excited again when she mentioned this. Jiang Li had to go down the mountain to buy vegetables, and there was no one to take care of the child. Since grandma liked the child, she could just bring him over.
The two of them each brought a child over. Yuying was tidying up their beds, and the child was placed on Jiang Li's bed.
As soon as the two of them left, grandma wandered around Jiang Li's room.
There are many pictures on the wall opposite the desk, most of which are drawn with pencil, and occasionally some are drawn with ballpoint pen.
The lines of these paintings are smooth and lifelike no matter what they depict.
It is not much different from the portrait of myself.
This shows that Jiang Li's painting skills are very stable, and the portrait he drew of her is also normal.
There are a lot of translation materials and two reference books on the table.
Although there are a lot of things, they are arranged very neatly.
Grandma casually picked up a piece of draft paper and took a look at it. The smooth and fluent English words were pleasing to the eye at first glance.
My grandmother had received higher education and her English was pretty good. She took a few casual glances and couldn't help but marvel at it.
Jiang Li's English level was indeed professional, and her grandson had not lied to her. Jiang Li was even more capable than she had imagined!
