Chapter 12 Her fate with Qin Zhan!
"Speaking of which, it's all about the older generation. Back then, your grandpa and the old man of the Qin family joined the army and fought in the war together. They had a life-and-death friendship. On the battlefield, when they were on the verge of death, the old man of the Qin family and your grandpa agreed that if they both survived, the descendants of the two families would marry. Fortunately, both of them came back alive, but later, the Qin family gave birth to a son, and our Jiang family also gave birth to a son. It wasn't until your mother was born that the two families were finally able to marry. The old Qin family gave a jade pendant as a token of trust, hoping that your mother would marry their second son, but unfortunately your mother was stubborn, and after that incident, the marriage between the two families had to fall through."
When Yao Guixiang said this, her eyes darkened, and she sighed softly before continuing, "The Qin family is also an open-minded family. They didn't care about the scandal that happened to our family, and they didn't want the jade back. A few years later, the Qin family's eldest son died in the line of duty, leaving behind a child named Qin Zhan. Your grandfather Qin especially favored this little grandson. He's a good boy, very capable in the army, and has a best relationship with your fifth uncle. He often comes to our house, just like a relative. Every time he sees me, he calls me Grandma, which is very endearing. He's of the same generation as you, but it's a pity... Alas..."
In fact, Yao Guixiang wanted to say that Qin Zhan and Su Luo were the third generation of their families, making them a perfect match for marriage. However, how could the Jiang family have the nerve to marry into the Qin family?
The idea of marrying with the jade pendant had already been broken off with her daughter Yunlan!
Su Luo gently stroked the jade pendant in her hand. She finally knew the true origin of the jade and figured out some things.
The original owner was timid and cowardly, and under the threat of her stepsister and stepmother, she stayed away from Qin Zhan.
The jade pendant left by her mother was snatched away by her stepmother, so the original owner and Qin Zhan broke off their relationship.
Stepsister Su Zhenzhen once used this jade pendant to impersonate the original owner. She not only attempted to steal everything that belonged to the original owner, but also wanted to marry into the Qin family.
The jade pendant was taken back by Su Luo, so it was even more impossible for Su Zhenzhen to impersonate her.
So now, Su Luo can only pray silently for Qin Zhan, hoping that his fate can also be changed because of her arrival.
Don't suffer bad luck again!
As for what will happen between her and Qin Zhan, Su Luo has no idea, so let everything take its course!

Su Luo's grandfather Jiang Houde just came back from the town in the evening. He had already called to inform his second son Jiang Pengcheng who worked in the county education bureau and his eldest son Jiang Changshun who worked in the provincial government.
They were extremely sad to hear the news of their younger sister's death, but were excited and happy to learn that their niece had arrived.
Both sons said on the phone that they would go back to their hometown to see their little niece in the next two days.
The fifth son Jiang Yunhe was also notified, but Jiang Yunhe was on a mission in another place recently and had not returned to the army yet. The army's communicator said he would help convey the message.
Jiang Houde smiled as he reported everything to Yao Guixiang. Yao Guixiang glanced at her granddaughter, who was playing with katydids in a grass cage with Xiaoliu, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if they come back later. We have to quickly raise Luoluo until she's plump and white."
"Yes, I used my meat coupons to buy some pork and stewed it for Luoluo."
Jiang Houde took a bunch of pork hanging from a straw rope from the basket and handed it to Yao Guixiang.
Normally, people in rural areas cannot eat meat often. They will only buy some meat during festivals. Moreover, they need meat tickets to buy meat, and they cannot buy it without tickets.
The elderly couple Jiang Houde and Yao Guixiang have accumulated a lot of tickets of various types, all of which were given by their sons. The elderly couple are used to being frugal and generally do not spend them indiscriminately.
But today, in order to nourish his granddaughter, Jiang Houde took the ticket and bought pork.
"Not bad, not bad. This pork belly has just the right amount of fat and lean meat. I'll make her some braised pork. She's sure to like it."
Yao Guixiang happily carried the meat to the kitchen, and the time waiting for dinner was relatively leisurely.
Jiang Houde was picking and washing vegetables by the well, and Su Luo brought a small stool over to help.
"No, no, go and rest, Luoluo."
Jiang Houde was reluctant to let his granddaughter help with the work, so he waved his hand and sent her away to play.
"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll help you."
Su Luo picked the vegetables skillfully while chatting with her grandfather.
Fourth uncle Jiang Jiaan came back. When Jiang Xiaoliu entered the house, he jumped up and down to greet him, "Dad! What did you bring?"
“Delicious!”
Jiang Jiaan rolled out a few big, round watermelons from his snakeskin bag.
When Jiang Xiaoliu saw it, his eyes lit up and he jumped up happily, "Wow, it's a big watermelon! I want to eat a big watermelon!"
Jiang Jiaan told him seriously, "This watermelon is for your sister Luoluo to eat. You can only watch!"
"ah?"
Jiang Xiaoliu's face fell, and he looked a little unhappy. He pouted and said, "Can I just watch Sister Luoluo eat? Can't I even nibble on the skin a little?"
"Watermelon rinds are for feeding pigs. Do you want to compete with them for them?" Jiang Jiaan joked and teased him on purpose.
Jiang Xiaoliu snorted, "Hmph, I don't care! I just want to eat the big watermelon! Sister Luoluo will definitely take me to eat with her."
Jiang Jiaan asked his son to take the watermelon to the edge of the well and give it to his grandfather. "Go, ask your grandfather to rinse it with cold water. It will be more delicious."
"Okay!"
Jiang Xiaoliu picked up the big watermelon with both hands, using all his strength, "Grandpa, watermelon!"
"Okay, give it to me."
Jiang Houde took the watermelon, put it into a large bucket filled with freshly drawn well water, and soaked it.
Jiang Xiaoliu came over and asked Su Luo, "Sister Luoluo, do you like watermelon?"
“I like it, but I haven’t eaten it.”
Su Luo had eaten it, but the original owner had never tasted watermelon. How could she be allowed to eat watermelon in the Su family?
Anything good in the house was left to Su Zhenzhen.
"Ah? Sister, you are so pitiful. You have never even eaten watermelon. So pitiful. I will give you the whole big watermelon tonight!" Jiang Xiaoliu began to feel sorry for Su Luo.
Jiang Houde and Jiang Jiaan felt very distressed after hearing this, and wanted to be nicer to Su Luo even more.
After washing the vegetables, Su Luo brought them into the kitchen.
The kitchen at my grandmother's house used a mud stove, with a big chimney between two big pots.
At this moment, white smoke was coming out of the pot and the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.
"Wow, what a delicious smell!"
Su Luo couldn't help drooling when she smelled the delicious meat.
Yao Guixiang saw Su Luo coming in and waved at her, "Luoluo, come here quickly."
"What's wrong, Grandma?"
Su Luo walked over and asked curiously.
