The third brother mentioned by Xie Xiangming is his third brother Xie Xiangjun.
"What?!" Gao Lanzhi was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Xie Xiangming in disbelief and said in surprise, "Marrying Jia Ning to the third brother? This... isn't this nonsense!"
"Jia Ning's son, the eldest, is only in his early twenties, and the third child is already in his fifties. How can the two of them get married?"
Seeing Xie Xiangming lowering his head and keeping silent, Gao Lanzhi said, "Besides, didn't the third brother's wife just die a few days ago? There hasn't even been a funeral yet. How can he plan to remarry so soon?"
Xie Xiangming put down the book in his hand and pinched his eyebrows in annoyance. Speaking of this third brother, Xie Xiangming himself was also a headache.
His face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Why hold a funeral? Zhuo Yiyi's family came a few days ago, and the third brother gave them 600,000 yuan and asked them to take Zhuo Yiyi's body away directly!"
Zhuo Yiyi's family was from the village below, and they received 400,000 yuan as a gift and married Zhuo Yiyi to Xie Xiangjun. Xie Xiangjun told them that Zhuo Yiyi was frozen to death in a snowstorm, and they didn't say anything else, and took 600,000 yuan and left with Zhuo Yiyi's body.
Gao Lanzhi was surprised to hear this and asked, "My daughter died in such an unclear way, and the Zhuo family didn't even investigate..."
Xie Xiangming snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said disdainfully: "What are you still pursuing? The Zhuo family has made 1 million yuan by relying on a daughter, so it's not a loss!"
At this point, Xie Xiangming sighed again and said helplessly, "My mother loves the third child and is afraid that no one will take care of him, so she asked me to help him find a young and well-behaved wife. It just so happens that Xia Guokang also wants to marry Jia Ning off. When we were chatting yesterday, he heard me talk about this and agreed."
Gao Lanzhi was even more shocked when she heard this. She said in disbelief, "Agreed? How could Xia Guokang agree?... Doesn't he know that the third brother has already lost four wives!"
Including Zhuo Yiyi who passed away not long ago, Xie Xiangjun has lost four wives. All four wives died in unclear circumstances. How could Xia Guokang have the heart to marry Xia Jianing to him?
This is too outrageous!
Xie Xiangming's eyes fell on the book in his hand again, and he said in a muffled voice: "Old Xia certainly knows that he was transferred from a clean government office to a core department, and he wants to move up. The city is about to start construction work, and my parents have agreed. As long as Jia Ning comes in, they will push him to the position of director."
Gao Lanzhi lowered her head after hearing this, with a look of helplessness and heartache on her face: "Jia Ning is such a pitiful child... Wu Min's parents passed away early, and now that Wu Min is gone, Jia Ning has no one to rely on..."
Gao Lanzhi herself also has a daughter. If she were to ask herself, if it were Xie Wenhui who married an old man whose four wives had died, she would definitely not be able to accept it!
Xia Guokang is really too much!
Xie Xiangming didn't care. In his opinion, considering Xia Jianing's current situation, marrying Xie Xiangjun was already a good choice.
He turned another page of the book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Women will eventually get married... Hey, these are all consensual things, so don't worry about it!"
******
Xia Jianing didn't know that her father had arranged her marriage to Xie Xiangjun. After eating a bucket of hot instant noodles, she felt refreshed and slept through the next day.
She slept for so long that when she woke up the next morning, she was in a daze.
