Maybe he's really crazy!
Even if it's embarrassing, there's no need to say such things at this time.
Marry a man who is still in a coma!
In this era, a woman’s life is almost over!
Not only the crowd of onlookers around, but also those who were angry about Pei's mother's behavior were stunned, staring at the girl in front of them for a long time without saying a word.
I was afraid I heard it wrongly.
I was also afraid that she was acting on impulse.
At this time, Jiang's mother reacted and pulled Jiang Xi anxiously: "Big sister, don't talk nonsense!"
An aunt from the Jiang family also spoke up: "Yes, big sister, you are a good child, but Pei Lao San is already like this. If you marry him again, you will be a widow. Isn't this driving people to death?!"
Pei's mother's eyes, which had just lit up with hope, dimmed again after these words, but the anger was gone.
She looked at the little girl in front of her with relief and said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie knows that you are a good child. I wrongly blamed you just now. Our family's current situation is not suitable for you to marry into the family. Otherwise, it will really ruin your life. Auntie just said it in anger. Don't take it to heart."
Pei's mother finally softened her heart. The relationship between the two families has always been good. Jiang Xi can be said to be a little girl who grew up in her eyes. She has a soft and gentle personality and is also hardworking. If she hadn't made arrangements in advance, those who came to the Jiang family to propose marriage would probably have broken down the doorstep.
After being together for a long time, they developed feelings for each other. The doctor had already explained her son's condition very clearly, so how could she really let this girl marry her?
"Yes, yes, don't be like this. We are not ungrateful. We will return the money when the time comes..." Mother Jiang nodded repeatedly, trying to pull her daughter back.
Jiang Xi shook her hand off, her face serious: "I won't! Mother, I have already rejected the man I saw today, I won't marry anyone else." She looked at Pei's mother and said firmly: "I am not impulsive, aunt, I hesitated, but I just couldn't get over it. Brother Pei needs me right now, it's just right for me to marry him."
Mother Pei was so moved that tears started to flow again, and she was also a little moved: "Are you serious?!"
Pei's mother is not young anymore. The third son was born when she was almost 40 years old. The two previous sons were raised by her mother-in-law, who has the same selfish personality as her mother-in-law.
If she took care of the third son for a long time without earning any work points, her two sons would definitely be unhappy, not to mention that they were still thinking about the pension for the third son.
If the third brother had someone who cared for him during his last days, he wouldn't have died in such pain, right?
Jiang Xi nodded again, her lips slightly curled up to reveal a faint smile, and her attitude was calm: "Really, if I just abandon Third Brother Pei like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat well for the rest of my life. I've thought about this for a long time and have made up my mind. Auntie, I will marry him and take care of Third Brother Pei."
The girl's voice was warm and clear, and everyone around could hear it clearly. The villagers all opened their mouths in surprise.
Mother Pei was overjoyed and held her hand while shaking. She was reluctant to let Jiang Xi marry and become a widow, but as a mother, she also had selfish thoughts, not to mention Jiang Xi's firm attitude, which completely shook her.
She was so excited that she didn't know what to do. Jiang's mother beside her was extremely flustered: "Big sister, what are you talking about? Do you really want to be a widow?"
People in the village also chimed in: "That's right, this is not a good thing, think it over carefully, sister!"
"Ah, this child is just too honest..."
Some people even thought maliciously, "Is it for the pension? I heard that when Pei Lao San got into trouble, the army gave him a lot of money!"
Mother Pei listened, her excitement subsided a little, and after glancing at the various looks around her, she said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
After saying that, he took Jiang Xi into the Jiang family, which he had just been reluctant to leave.
There were people looking outside the yard.
But once you enter the house and close the door, no one else can see it.
Jiang Xi came in cooperatively, and Jiang's mother followed closely, trying to persuade her daughter to calm down: "Don't be impulsive and invest your whole life in it. Marriage is not a fun thing."
She paused, looked at Pei's mother with caution, and gritted her teeth and said, "If anything happens to Pei Hejun, you will be a widow in the future, and it will be difficult for you to remarry."
Pei's mother's face darkened, but she held her breath and said nothing. This was the truth and she had to think it over carefully.
Jiang Xi looked at Jiang's mother with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
I'm curious about her current motives. Is she really thinking about her daughter, or is she trying to get her daughter to marry well and take care of the family for a long time in the future?
Jiang's mother pulled at the corner of her clothes unnaturally. She was a thin woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. Her face was very wrinkled due to life, and her eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat delicate. Her eyebrows and eyes revealed a sense of timidity. She was a little flustered when her daughter looked at her: "Big sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Xi did not answer, but asked in a deep voice: "Mom, let me ask you, have you forgotten what the Pei family did to our family before? Are you going to give it back? How? Take my betrothal gift? Do you think it's enough? Can you afford it?!"
Jiang's mother felt even more ashamed, anxious and panicked, and almost cried: "But I can't ruin your life!"
Jiang Xi said firmly: "I am willing, that's enough."
Jiang's mother noticed her daughter's attitude. In the past, her eldest daughter was gentle and would not resist her like this. Now that she was like this, she must have made up her mind. She stamped her feet in anger and said, "I'm going to find your uncle!"
She ran out.
Mother Pei, who had been silent to calm herself down, said worriedly, "Xiaoxi, your mother..."
Jiang Xi smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, aunt, Brother Pei San is in this situation, we can't delay, I'll pack my things and go back with you today."
Mother Pei was shocked: "How can this be possible?" She shook her head quickly and said guiltily: "This matter has already wronged you, how can I not hold a banquet."
Jiang Xi said helplessly: "My mother went to call my uncle. You know what my uncle is like. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to leave when he comes. It's better to go early."
Mother Pei was convinced, but she also felt more guilty: "Okay, I'm sorry for wronging you. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future. If the third brother really..." She choked and said softly: "If he really dies, my Pei family will be your mother's family in the future. When the time comes, I will find a good man for you and prepare your wedding dowry for you."
Speaking of dowry, she said anxiously, "Hey, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything. I'll send the betrothal gifts when I get back. Your Third Brother Pei has a lot of money, so he can buy a lot of gifts!"
She spoke generously and didn't worry that Jiang Xi did it for the money.
Because no matter how much money one has, it cannot compare to a girl's life, especially since this girl grew up under her care and she still believes in her character.
But Jiang Xi shook his head.
Pei's mother was surprised.
Jiang Xi held her arm and shook it, saying embarrassedly: "If you give these to me, they will be taken away by my uncle. It is better to keep them to buy medicine for Brother Pei San."
Mother Pei's heart warmed. What a good child! She was even more moved. However, she still had to face reality. As Jiang Xi said, her uncle was not easy to deal with. Mother Pei was very worried: "Your mother and uncle will definitely not be happy with this. You will be caught in a dilemma."
"Really? If you really want to give a betrothal gift, just give it to me. Giving it to my mother is like giving it to my uncle. It's like throwing meat buns at a dog." Jiang Xi said firmly: "Besides, if they don't want to, it's their business. They have no right to control who I marry. The marriage law stipulates that women are free to marry, and they have no right to stop it."
Pei's mother was mostly convinced. It was true, but there were two downsides. Uncle Jiang Xi would definitely make trouble, and Jiang Xi's own reputation would also be bad.
Jiang Xi added fuel to the fire, lowering his head and worrying: "And don't just look at the money now. Brother Pei is not in good health and will definitely need to take medicine in the future. I have to take care of him. Even if I go to work, I can only take care of my own food. It's better to save this money. Reputation is not as important as living, don't you think?"
Pei's mother completely agreed: "You are right."
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Then I'll pack my things and leave quickly."
Jiang's mother went to look for the original owner's uncle, but the two families were not in the same brigade, and it took more than an hour just to walk there and back.
Therefore, Jiang Xi packed up the original owner's things carefully.
There weren't too many things, just some clothes, and the original owner's books and pens from school. All together, they could fit in a schoolbag and a package.
Just as she was about to leave, two heads popped out of the door.
Two frail little girls, one big and one small, looked at her pitifully. The smaller one whispered, "Big sister, are you really leaving?"
The older one had red eyes and said nothing.
But both of them expressed their dependence on and reluctance to part with her.
Their mother is unreliable, so they rely on their sister for protection. Once their sister is gone, no one will protect them anymore, because their mother likes sons and they are not sons, so she likes their uncle's sons.
Jiang Xi was silent.
She was very clear about her future. She didn't want to get entangled with Jiang's mother and the original owner's uncle. But she had never thought about the original owner's two sisters.
In her previous life, Jiang Xi was an only child and had no brothers or sisters. She didn't know what to do.
But the ending of these two people is also described in the book. They were sent as child brides by their uncle because the Pei family no longer helped the Jiang family and Jiang's mother could not afford to raise two little girls by herself.
This means that this home is also a wolf's den for them.
Jiang Xi couldn't move. She couldn't bear to watch the two little girls end up in such a miserable situation as in the drama. After thinking it over again and again, she made up her mind, put down the package and ran to Pei's mother. Her face flushed, she whispered, "Auntie, you just said that you would give me three times the betrothal gift. Does it count?"
Mother Pei was puzzled, but still nodded: "Of course, I'll give it to you when the time comes. You can decide how to use it."
Jiang Xi took a deep breath and tried, "It would cost a lot of money to do the three-turn and one-ring thing. I don't want it. In terms of money, I want to take my two sisters away and leave them here. I'm afraid my uncle will marry them off and use my betrothal gift to support them. Is that okay?"
Mother Pei still hesitated for a moment. These two children have a mother!
But looking at the look on her future daughter-in-law's face, she nodded: "It's up to you to decide, but we are not in the right in this matter. If your mother wants them to go back, I can't help you."
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie! I'll take care of the rest."
She looked at her two sisters and said, "You two, hurry up and pack your things and come with me!"
The two girls were overjoyed: "Really?!"
"Can we go too?"
"Really? Hurry up and pack up, or else you might not be able to leave when mom comes back." Jiang Xi threatened.
They both ran to the room quickly.
They didn't have much stuff, so they packed it up in no time. Jiang Xi and Pei's mother each held one of them and walked out. They met many villagers on the way. Seeing them like this, they looked surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"
Pei's mother felt quite embarrassed. She had abducted the girl without even having a wedding banquet. She was also confused and didn't say anything.
But Jiang Xi said openly: "Marry someone. I have to go take care of Brother Pei San first."
The villagers were suddenly shocked and kept talking about it even after the four of them walked a long way away.
Wow, she really got married?!
Jiang Xi is such a kind girl!
But why did he take his two younger sisters with him? Did he marry his younger sisters with him?
When the people had long gone, Jiang's mother hurried back with her brother. They saw that the house was empty and there was a piece of paper on the table with a few words written on it. Jiang's mother could not read, so she quickly gave it to her brother and said, "Look, what does this say?"
Zhang Hu's face turned green after just one look: "This damn girl said she was going to get married! She rushed to the Pei family! She is really a money loser. She even said that she would raise two younger sisters as a betrothal gift in the future. Who gave her the courage?!"
Can the betrothal gift be cheaper for those two money-losing people? !
Jiang's mother's face also turned red with anger: "Big sister has never been so ignorant before?"
Zhang Hu said angrily: "You must have taught her a fool. She actually wanted to be a widow! No, I have to go and get her back!"
He was about to go over angrily.
However, when he walked out of the main room, his steps stopped again.
The Pei family is difficult to deal with just the families of Pei Hejun's two brothers, and there is only one male in his Zhang family, so he has to find someone to go with him and cannot go alone!
