Qiu Yumei replied, "My stepmother passed away a few months ago."
"I see." Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother stopped asking about her stepmother.
"What was your second brother's temperament like when he was at home?"
She was afraid that Qiu Dafu would look down on her daughter Liu'er for being a second wife in the future.
"My second brother is very kind to his family and friends." Qiu Yumei dared not say that her second brother was too impulsive and easily angered, which had even landed him in jail.
"..."
Qiu Yan listened quietly to her aunt's words. Seeing that her aunt's forehead was covered in sweat, she secretly took her aunt's hand.
She knew that her aunt was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and make Jiang's mother dislike her second uncle.
Jiang Liu: "Mother, please stop asking. Haven't you already asked what you wanted to know?"
Jiang Liu really didn't know what to say about her mother's nagging.
Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Liu with displeasure. She hadn't even married Qiu Dafu yet, and she was already protecting her in-laws like this.
Let her ask one more question.
"Yumei, when are you coming home? I'd like to go with you and visit your home."
Qiu Yan nodded to herself.
Jiang Liu agreed; what her mother said made perfect sense.
The two families have already arranged the marriage; it's time to take a look.
Qiu Yumei nodded in agreement. "Madam Jiang, once our new shop opens, I will go home for a visit. At that time, my second brother and I will take you to see the Qiu family."
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Alright."
As they were talking, all the dishes were served.
Once the meal began, Qiu Yumei finally stopped responding.
After lunch, Qiu Yan and Qiu Yumei said goodbye and left.
Jiang Liu, on the other hand, stayed at home and chatted with her mother.
"Liu'er, you'll be getting married in a few months. Don't go to Baiyang for the next few months. Leave the business matters to the manager. It doesn't matter if you make money or not. If you run out of money, your mother will have it."
"Yes, Mother loves me the most." Jiang Liu nodded and leaned on her mother's shoulder.
"Mother, I plan to open a shop in Huaiyuan."
"What?" Jiang's mother gently tapped Jiang Liu's forehead. "Making money is a man's job. How can a girl be so restless?"
Jiang Liu did not refute her mother's words, but no one could change her inner resolve.
With money, she can make her own way in the world.
She leaned quietly on her mother's shoulder, dreaming of a bright future with Qiu Dafu.
At first, she didn't feel love for Qiu Dafu, but she didn't dislike him.
If Qiu Dafu hadn't deliberately approached her, she would never have had any interaction with him.
She wanted to live a more comfortable life in her later years.
She felt comfortable and at ease with Qiu Dafu.
She had grown accustomed to his presence and longed for a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
Hopefully, Qiu Dafu won't let her down.
Huaiyuan Street
Throughout the journey, Qiu Yumei's heart was filled with anxiety and unease.
"Xiaoyan, what if Madam Jiang goes to our village and looks down on your second uncle for being too poor?" She knew that her second brother liked Jiang Liu very much.
"If the Jiang family doesn't agree..."
Qiu Yan: "Aunt, if Madam Jiang really dislikes it, she won't ask to go to the village to see for herself."
"But……"
"Although the Jiang family is prestigious, our Qiu family is no less so. Do you lack confidence in the Qiu family, or in your second uncle?"
"Miss Jiang's father is a high-ranking official, while our Qiu family has been poor for generations..."
"Your second uncle is currently working for the prefect, but your aunt still feels...uneasy."
