After listening to the whole process, Li Yu didn't know what to say.
The mother and daughter sat there looking at each other in silence.
Li Yu didn't know what Lin Jiang was thinking, but she was thinking:
How romantic! This is the hero in the hearts of many women.
Li Yu was certain that the girl absolutely regarded Lin Jiang as a hero who came to save her on a colorful cloud.
Now that the matter was clear, Li Yu got up and left.
Before leaving, he said to Lin Jiang: "Practice well. As for the matter with that girl, we'll talk about it when she comes next time. We'll take it one step at a time."
In the afternoon, Li Yu was sitting in the yard reading a storybook as usual, but he didn't expect Zhao Yue to come.
"Fourth brother's wife is here, come and sit down. Try some of the melon seeds I bought yesterday. Have some tea."
As he said this, he pushed the melon seeds at hand over and poured him a cup of tea.
"Sister-in-law, don't be busy. I came here to ask for your help," she said.
"Help? Sure, as long as it's something I can do, no problem. But what kind of help?"
Li Yu was puzzled. He hadn't heard anything had happened to Lin Laosi's family recently.
"It's Aqiao. She's getting engaged in three days, so I asked my second sister-in-law to come over and take care of the arrangements.
There will be a few people coming over from their family, and I'm not a very good cook, and I have to entertain the guests that day, so I'd like to ask my second sister-in-law for help."
Zhao Yue said a little embarrassedly.
"Sure, that's no big deal. Don't worry, leave it to me."
It was just an engagement, and a few people from the other family came, plus Lin Lao Si's family, the old man and old lady from the countryside, Lin Lao Da and Lin Lao San.
There weren't too many people, and Li Yu felt he could handle it if he brought an assistant with him that day.
Seeing that Li Yu agreed, Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much, second sister-in-law. When this is over, I'll have Aqiao come over to thank you in person."
"No need, it's just cooking a meal, isn't it worth thanking me for?
"By the way, who is this other party? Why didn't we hear anything about it before?" Li Yu was curious.
Speaking of this, Zhao Yue was obviously very happy and started talking more.
"She is the niece of the boss of Yunjin Textiles, and her father is the manager of another store owned by the boss.
The most important thing is the girl herself. She has been learning embroidery since she was eight years old and is now a famous embroiderer in the store.
I have already started taking on an apprentice, who is one year younger than Ah Qiao and is 15 this year.
“So powerful?
Li Yu was surprised. These ancient embroiderers were almost like modern fashion designers.
How could he even look down upon Lin Qiao? Besides, she was the niece of the boss of Yunjin Textile.
It's not that he looked down on Lin Qiao, as he was quite talented. But his family conditions were clearly inferior to his. Lin Laosi's family was still renting a house.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not trying to belittle our Aqiao. I'm just curious if their family can look down on ours?" Li Yu asked Zhao Yue directly.
Zhao Yue knew that Li Yu was smart, but she didn't expect that she would figure out the key so quickly.
She didn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it.
"Since my second sister-in-law asked, it's okay for me to tell her."
It turned out that the girl had been engaged before. Just last year, the man passed the imperial examination and was favored by a wealthy family in the provincial capital.
He wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, but unfortunately the man was already married, and he didn't want his daughter to have the reputation of stealing someone else's marriage.
Finally, the man came up with an idea. He bribed the man's entourage to reveal his family's intention and let the man cancel the engagement himself.
The man's family was of average means. His father died early, and his elderly mother was the only one at home supporting his studies.
After hearing that the official's family had this intention, for the sake of his own reputation, he asked his widowed mother to come to the Jiang family to make trouble every day.
The Jiang family was so upset that they had no choice but to cancel the engagement. Although it was the man who wanted to cancel the engagement, it was the woman who broke off the engagement after all.
Li Yu could understand how harshly women were treated in ancient times.
This also explains why the Jiang family chose Lin Qiao.
Firstly, Lin Lao Si works at Yunjin Textile and will definitely not treat their daughter badly. Secondly, Lin Qiao is good-looking.
And the most important point, Li Yu thought, was that the Jiang family might be attracted by Lin He's potential.
Although they are not blood brothers, a little inquiry into the relationship between Lin He and Lin Laosi's family will reveal how close the two families are.
Li Yu wasn't boasting; this was indeed the truth. Anyone who cared enough to ask would know just how good Lin He was at studying.
Li Yu didn't believe that the Jiang family didn't have this ability.
However, this is understandable.
People always strive for higher goals. Isn't the purpose of getting married to make your daughter happy while also helping your family?
Li Yu would not blame others for judging the situation, he just thought that the whole family was smart.
"So that's how it is. That scholar is unlucky. He really thought it was so easy to be the son-in-law of a wealthy family."
After hearing the whole story, Li Yu sighed.
Zhao Yue also said: "That's right. If he can move up in the future, that's fine. If he fails, he will suffer."
"Judging from the fact that he can be so scornful of the poor and in love with the rich, his character is not very good. It was right for the Jiang family girl not to marry him."
Zhao Yue nodded repeatedly in agreement.
