Ah Liu, who was held in Grandpa Xia's arms, was very quiet and did not cry just because Huaihua cried.
Actually, A Liu can already speak, but he just doesn't like to talk. Most of the time he is always very quiet, with a pair of watery black eyes open, just looking at people quietly.
When people see the little appearance of this child, they can't help but feel a little distressed.
Seeing that Zhou was busy coaxing Huaihua, Old Man Xia followed her for a while and then hurried to see A Liu.
Seeing that A Liu was just shivering a little but not crying, Grandpa Xia felt even more distressed and also hugged A Liu and walked around twice.
Fortunately, Huaihua didn't cry for too long. Zhou was really tired, and Huaihua miraculously smiled at Zhou and stretched out her little hand to touch Zhou's cheek.
Zhou smiled brightly and lightly revealed the secret of Xia Youtian and Jiang secretly arranging Lihua's marriage:
"Alas, you are not young anymore, it's time for your parents to let go.
I only have one thing to say: don't just look at the manners of this family, their attitude towards you, or the amount of betrothal gifts they offer...
You also have to carefully check their character, livelihood, and family style.
If there are no major problems, let Lihua marry him.
After all, this young lady is different from the young master.
If you marry the wrong person, your life will be ruined!
Even if our Xia family is not the kind of family that cares so much about face that it would lead to suffering, we would not stop the child from coming back if she married the wrong person.
But no matter how capable we are, we can't stop outsiders from gossiping, and we can't replace the sadness in the children's hearts!"
Zhou also thought of Xia Yujiao's story and was inspired to write this.
If Xia Yujiao had been allowed to marry into the Xie family and marry Xie Jiabao earlier, perhaps all the things that happened later would not have happened.
However, the world is like a game of chess, and life is unpredictable. Who knows which cloud will bring rain?
Even if Yujiao had been married to the Xie family earlier, it might not have been possible to stop that beast Jin Yong.
What's more, since arriving in Jixiang County, I haven't heard any news from the Xie family for a long time...
Bohai County has changed its owner again.
Perhaps, the entire Xie family is in danger.
Beiguan Town has been plagued by wars in recent years. If Yujiao had married there earlier, she might have died in the war along with the Xie family.
Even the corpse could not be found...
As Zhou thought about it, she became sad.
Xia Youtian and Jiang saw that Zhou was obviously in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to say much and just nodded in response.
In the end, Old Man Xia waved his hand and asked them to go back, saying only that Huaihua should be left behind and the child should stay with the old couple for a few more days, which would be considered as fulfilling their filial piety on their behalf.
As soon as Old Master Xia said this, no matter how much Jiang missed Huaihua, she couldn't bring herself to take the child back.
The couple said goodbye awkwardly and left the compound feeling rather dejected.
Old Master Xia and Mrs. Zhou were so busy holding the two little girls, one quiet and the other domineering, that they didn't pay any attention to the two of them at all, and didn't even glance at them.
On the way, Xia Youtian kept comforting Jiang. In the end, his mouth was dry, but Jiang still didn't respond.
Xia Youtian stopped anxiously, turned around to face Jiang, put his arms around Jiang's shoulders and said:
"My lady, please don't scare me!
Lihua has just found her husband, Daohua and Wulang are still unmarried, Linghua is still a little girl, and Huaihua is only a tiny child... If you collapse, what will happen to me and the children?"
Jiang finally came back to her senses, glanced at Xia Youtian, and said with a gloomy expression:
"I didn't collapse at all... I just couldn't wrap my head around it for a moment, and I felt a little uncomfortable."
The reason why Jiang couldn't change her mind was not because of anything else, but precisely because of Zhou's attitude.
Xia Dalang's marriage was not arranged by the old couple, but Xia Dalang agreed to it outside, and then the headmaster's family came to propose marriage.
But Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou were extremely satisfied.
Zhou was even in charge of organizing the banquet herself, wanting to make it a lively one.
Even though Lihua was a maid, she was the eldest daughter of the fourth room after all.
Wei Shiqi, chosen by Lihua Ding, is young and promising. He is also the godson of Eunuch Wei and has many capable brothers.
In fact, if you compare carefully, she is not much worse than the headmaster's youngest daughter, right?
I actually have to rely on the little girl Huaihua's face to get the old couple to not pursue the matter.
As for how to handle it, they didn't give any advice at all...
Although Zhou's last two words of advice were good advice, engagement was clearly a happy occasion, but she said it without hesitation, which was a bit unlucky.
Jiang couldn't help but feel that the old couple, especially Zhou, were still biased towards the eldest wife!
Although the eldest brother and his wife are both gone, the eldest family can be said to be completely destroyed.
But even if there is only Xia Dalang left in the first wife's family, the old couple's hearts are still with the first wife!
No matter how outstanding the fourth wife's children were, the old couple would not take them seriously.
Look at how much business rice flowers have generated?
She did not forget to take care of her family members and was always filial to the old couple.
Let me just say one thing - she never went to the slum empty-handed!
Wulang is such a good boy that he is also appreciated by the teacher at the Enlightenment School.
He's been getting "A" scores on his recent classes! The teacher even posted his paper as a model for his classmates.
Linghua is a child who only cares about eating. She follows Daohua around every day and eats so much that she's almost become a pig! But she's also a successful person!
