At the same time, the Jiang family in Taohua Village was not so peaceful on the first day of the new year.
Because Jiang Caiyun's previous blind date Liu Fan and his mother said a few days ago that they would come today, Jiang Caiyun got dressed early in the morning and sat in the house waiting.
Jiang Caiyun sat in her room, listening to her mother and the villagers talking about how great Liu Fan was, and she felt annoyed.
It wasn't certain whether Liu Fan would pass the imperial examination! Mother had been saying outside that she and Liu Fan were engaged. Jiang Caiyun knew that her engagement would allow her mother to show off in the village, but what if Liu Fan didn't pass? Would she still have to marry him?
"mother…"
Jiang Caiyun couldn't stand what Chen Mei was talking about, so she opened the door and called Chen Mei in.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Chen Mei heard her precious daughter's cry and hurriedly left the people she was chatting with and walked in.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask when Liu Fan and his family will come?" Jiang Caiyun saw Chen Mei coming in a hurry and couldn't say a word of complaint, so she could only divert her attention.
"Logically, it should be soon." Chen Mei looked at the sky outside and comforted her daughter, "When Liu Fan and his mother come to visit today, you must be respectful and don't give them any reason to talk."
Chen Mei straightened Jiang Caiyun's clothes and fixed her hair.
"I know, mother." Jiang Caiyun hugged Chen Mei's arm and said coquettishly, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see Jiang Cheng come to our house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year?"
When Chen Mei and Jiang Maocai came back that time, they only told Jiang Caiyun that Jiang Cheng had married Song Tingzhi and nothing else.
Naturally, Jiang Caiyun didn't know that Jiang Cheng had severed ties with the Jiang family, and was still waiting for him to bring Song Tingzhi to visit his parents for the New Year.
"Oh..." Chen Mei stared into Jiang Caiyun's eyes, and after thinking about it, she decided to tell Jiang Caiyun that Jiang Cheng had severed ties with the Jiang family.
"What!!" Jiang Caiyun was stunned. She covered her mouth and lowered her voice. "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"What's the point of telling you?" Shen Mei disagreed. She didn't think it was necessary to tell Jiang Caiyun such a small matter. Now Shen Mei just wanted Jiang Caiyun to get married with Liu Fan as soon as possible.
Jiang Caiyun was shocked by Chen Mei's attitude. If Chen Mei had told her earlier, she would naturally go to the Song family to reason. How could she really let Jiang Cheng sever ties with the Jiang family!
"Alright! Stop imagining things. This is a done deal now." Chen Mei looked at Jiang Caiyun's expression and consoled her. "Ten taels of silver will buy out Jiang Cheng's relationship with the Jiang family. When you marry Liu Fan, I'll use this ten taels of silver as your dowry!"
Shen Mei had a particularly good idea, and she felt even more proud.
"I don't want to!" Jiang Caiyun didn't want to listen to Chen Mei anymore, so she shook off her hand and went out to sit.
"You child..." After all, she was her biological daughter, and Chen Mei couldn't bear to say anything harsh, so she had to follow her out and wait together.
"Knock knock--" There was a knock on the door of the Jiang family. Chen Mei hurried over to open the door and welcome the guests.
"Oh, Mr. Liu is here, come in!" Chen Mei saw Liu Fan as soon as she opened the door and greeted him warmly.
Chen Mei looked Liu Fan up and down, and seeing that he came to pay New Year's greetings with only a chicken in his hand, the smile on her face faded a lot, but she still politely let him in.
"Aunt, Miss Caiyun, most of the family's money has been spent on my studies these days, so..." Liu Fan went into the inner room and realized that it would not look good to bring a chicken to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, so he explained.
"It's okay. Now is the time for you to study, so you should naturally work harder. After you go to high school, there will naturally be a better future waiting for you." Shen Mei smiled brighter and comforted him.
"Thank you for your understanding, auntie!" Liu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Mei say this.
"I wonder how Sister Caiyun has been doing these days?" Liu Fan looked at Jiang Caiyun who was dressed up carefully, his cheeks slightly red. After taking a look, he didn't dare to stare at her again.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. Caiyun has been doing well at home these days. I wonder if your studies have been hard lately? Don't overwork yourself."
Jiang Caiyun looked at Liu Fan's shy look and felt secretly proud in her heart, but her face was still very gentle and lovely.
If you dress yourself up carefully, you will naturally be beautiful!
"Thank you, Sister Caiyun, for your concern. I'm fine." Liu Fan said in a low voice.
Seeing that the two were chatting harmoniously, Chen Mei quietly went out, leaving space for the two children to talk.
After going out, Chen Mei saw Jiang Maocai waving him over, then gave him the chicken that Liu Fan brought and asked him to kill it in the woodshed.
Then Chen Mei went to the woodshed to prepare a table of delicious food and asked Liu Fan to stay at home for lunch before leaving.
Chen Mei would go outside from time to time to see what was happening in the inner room. Seeing Liu Fan and Jiang Caiyun chatting with each other in the room, she felt happy.
After lunch was ready, Chen Mei knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Liu, have lunch at our house before you leave!" Chen Mei greeted him warmly.
Seeing Chen Mei coming in, Liu Fan quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, auntie, but my mother is still at home, and I can't leave her alone at home, so I decided not to stay for dinner. Thank you very much, auntie."
"Why don't you stay here to eat?" The smile on Chen Mei's face faded a lot. Although she was dissatisfied, she still looked at Liu Fan with a smile.
"Thank you, auntie, but I'm really worried about my old mother at home. Please forgive me!" Liu Fan bowed to Chen Mei, then looked at Jiang Caiyun.
"Sister Caiyun, I'll leave today and come back another day."
"It's okay, Mr. Liu, just be careful on the road." Jiang Caiyun said with a smile.
Liu Fan said hello to Jiang Maocai and then left.
After Liu Fan left, Chen Mei rolled her eyes to the sky and sat down at the dinner table angrily.
"What kind of person is he? He didn't even appreciate my kindness in inviting him to dinner! He brought a chicken to visit our family during Chinese New Year, and he hasn't even married our daughter yet!"
Chen Mei kept complaining, and Jiang Maocai couldn't stop her even when he asked her to speak more quietly.
"Okay, mother, maybe he's just having some difficulties. He's preparing for the imperial examination these days, and most of the family's money may have been spent on the four treasures of the study."
Jiang Caiyun didn't take it seriously and ignored Chen Mei's complaints. She sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks and picked up some dishes for Chen Mei and Jiang Maocai.
"Mom and Dad, don't think too much, just eat."
"Eat, eat, eat. I get angry whenever I think about this. I'll give him a warning the next time he comes!" Chen Mei took a bite of the food and kept talking.
"Oh..." Jiang Caiyun sighed, ignoring Chen Mei's words and just focusing on eating.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Fan, she would not say it out loud. After all, things had not yet come to an end, so she would not make a judgment easily!
Leave some room for maneuver when doing things, so that you can meet again in the future!
