"Sister, who told him to call my nephew an idiot?"
Jiao was so angry that she grimaced. Jiao Hu had always doted on Qiu Dong since they were little. Although they were only seven years apart, Jiao Hu doted on Qiu Dong even more than his mother, Jiao.
Qiu Dong walked over and stood beside Jiao Hu, pulling him aside and saying, "Mother, don't blame my uncle. This matter is over. I told my father, and he's already called a doctor. It's a lesson for him!"
Mrs. Jiao was dumbfounded. When did her son become so articulate? This was probably the sentence he had said the most since he was a child. Look at him, his thinking is still so clear.
Jiao was so happy she almost cried. She grabbed Qiu Dong's arm and said, "Qiu Dong, you, you're all better?"
Jiao Hu shoved Jiao Shi aside: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? My nephew is a good person. Hurry up and go greet the guests!"
Jiao understood that Jiao Hu didn't want her to talk about this in front of others and hurt Qiu Dong's feelings, so he sent his older sister away.
Qiu Dong had a very warm impression of this uncle, but now she suddenly realized that her uncle was someone who cared about her feelings more than anyone else.
Qiu Dong suddenly grabbed Jiao Hu's hand and said, word by word, "Uncle, please don't leave these next few days. I have a lot to say to you."
Autumn and winter have really changed. In the past, when Autumn and winter met with his uncle, he would only exchange a few words, without much small talk, and he would not express his gratitude in a way that touched his heart. Now, Jiao Hu saw gratitude and reluctance in his eyes.
"Okay, my nephew is getting married, so of course I have to stay and tease my sister! Hurry up, Qiu Dong, go and offer the toasts, don't keep the relatives waiting."
Niuwa lay on the bench in the side room. The doctor examined him and said there was nothing seriously wrong. However, Niuwa touched his waist and said, "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? It still hurts here."
The doctor said somewhat angrily, "I'm a doctor, what, if you don't believe me, why did you call me here?"
Jin Xia quickly said, "Thank you, doctor, this is your relief fund!"
Jin Xia casually handed five coins to the doctor, who then turned and left.
"What do you want to do? You're the one who called Qiu Dong an idiot, that's why they hit you. Tell me, with so many relatives, you've suddenly become a celebrity in the village. How come I have a brother like you?"
Upon hearing this, Niuwa immediately jumped up from the stool, stared at Jinxia in front of him, pointed at her, and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch! You only married into this family today and you're already treating your brother like this! Didn't you see your brother get beaten? And now you're siding with her?"
"Hmph, even if you go home, your parents will still scold you. You came here representing the reputation of our Jin family, and you have completely disgraced our Liu family. Tell me, even for the sake of my sister, you can't lead the way in insulting my husband here?"
As Qiu Dong walked to the door, she could hear two people arguing about the same thing inside, even through the curtain. After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Dong lifted the curtain and went in.
“If you want to blame someone for this, blame me! Jinxia is my wife now, so don’t blame her. Besides, Jinxia is right, you’re the kind of person who forgets his mother after marrying a wife, but we will, we will take good care of our parents-in-law!”
Niuwa was so angry he was speechless. He walked out of the house with a dark face and hurriedly ran out.
Jin Xia blushed and said, "Why? They all say you're a fool? Are you pretending?"
Qiu Dong held Jin Xia's hand and said, "That's right, I was indeed silly before, but if I hadn't been silly, how could I have waited for you, right?"
Jin Xia blushed and said, "But I'm a divorcee, so I feel even more unworthy of you?"
"So what if it's a second marriage? You're virtuous and hardworking, that's enough. I believe Aunt Jin's words, you're a good girl. Don't worry, no matter what, once we're married, I will treat you well and be filial to your parents!"
Jin Xia thought of the past, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Alright, today is our wedding day, so don't cry. If you cry and I go crazy again, you'll be living the life of a widow."
Jinxia smiled through her tears and followed Qiudong out.
Jiao excitedly pulled Liang Shuyan, not knowing what to say. She wiped her eyes and said, "I really don't know how to thank you, Auntie. If it weren't for you arranging this marriage for Qiudong, the child probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Auntie, thank you!"
Jiao's eyes glistened with tears, and her hands were trembling with emotion.
Liang Shuyan smiled slightly and helped Jiao Shi up, saying, "You don't need to be so polite. Marriage is preordained. This is because you two have helped everyone on a daily basis. Also, Qiu Dong and Jin Xia are really destined for each other. As soon as they got married, Qiu Dong's illness was cured. Isn't that strange?"
Jiao nodded excitedly.
Inside the tent, everyone was laughing and joking. Someone exclaimed, "Oh my, this is really good news! It's great news! The illness from autumn and winter is cured! That's wonderful!"
"Of course! Li Zheng has always been so helpful to us all. Good deeds are always rewarded. This time, Li Zheng can just wait to hold his grandson!"
Li Zheng happily picked up a bottle of wine and said, "Everyone, don't be shy, eat and drink to your heart's content. Today, it's all-you-can-eat and enjoy yourselves!"
There was another commotion inside the tent.
Apart from Niuwa, the rest of Liu's relatives were all seated at another table. After the meal, Jinxia pulled Qiudong aside and introduced them one by one before they finally left.
Except for Jiao Hu, all of Jiao's family members went back home.
Li Zheng pulled his brother-in-law aside and said, "This time, don't leave. Stay here and wait for your brother-in-law to find you a wife before you go back. The next time we drink, it'll be to find you a wife!"
Jiao glared angrily at Li Zheng: "You're just making empty promises. Do you think finding a wife is that easy?"
Li Zheng laughed and turned his gaze to Liang Shuyan: "Have you forgotten that we have Aunt Jin here?"
Liang Shuyan never expected that she would become a matchmaker, and that she was actually trying to find a marriage for Jiao Hu.
Liang Shuyan hesitated for a moment, thinking that her business had just started and she had a lot of things to do at home, before saying, "Okay, but my family's tea workshop is just getting started right now. I'll help out once I'm done with this busy period!"
Jiao Hu was particularly quick-witted. He immediately stepped forward, bowed politely, and said, "Big sister, I'm entrusting my nephew's wife to you. Of course, I'm also very grateful to you for arranging such a good marriage for my nephew!"
In the courtyard, Old Wu's shouts rang out: "Where's the matchmaker? Where is the matchmaker?"
