Chapter 1554 Shared Wife 28
She frowned as she walked out of the house and saw him standing in front of the door, one hand on the half-open door, and she could vaguely hear him talking.
Only when they got closer could they make out the man outside the door through the gaps.
She was illiterate and didn't know what words to use to describe it.
If we only know one way to praise him in the local dialect, it's that he's very handsome, the kind of guy that girls from all around would be interested in.
Coupled with his impressive bearing, one can tell he comes from a distinguished family.
"Miss Li is currently unavailable, so I came to see if there's anything at home that needs my help."
"The wedding date for the Jiang family and Miss Li has been set, but some details still need to be discussed with you."
As soon as Li's mother entered, she heard Jiang Yuanxiu's words, and her face, like Li Kangping's, turned extremely ugly.
He took a few steps to Li's father's side and coldly asked, "Who are you?"
Li Kangping quickly turned his head to the side, covering the lower half of his face with one hand, and explained Jiang Yuanxiu's identity and purpose to his wife.
This time, even Li's mother couldn't stand it anymore.
"What does your marriage to Bao'er have to do with us now?"
"You should consult with the Prime Minister."
The implication of dismissing them was too strong.
Jiang Yuanxiu was secretly delighted. The more his uncle and aunt resisted him, the greater his chances of advancement!
His chance has come!
His face was gentle, and the corners of his lips curved. "The wedding date has been set and no one can change it, but what if the Jiang family's wedding procession passes through Lijia Village?"
"At that time, we will always set up a few tables here and invite our fellow villagers to come and make it lively, so that it won't be too lonely when we pay respects to our elders."
Upon hearing this, the two elders looked at each other in shock.
Li Kangping looked the man up and down with a hint of disbelief. "Really?"
Li's mother also felt a sense of anticipation. They couldn't defy the Prime Minister's power, but they hoped to be there for their child's wedding.
Jiang Yuanxiu nodded solemnly, "It's true."
Li's mother silently stepped aside, looking down at the ground. "Come in, I'll go tidy up the guest room."
Jiang Yuanxiu breathed a sigh of relief; this move was the right one!
Regardless, he would still have to go through the wedding ceremony with Miss Li on their wedding day.
My brother will definitely not let this opportunity pass him by.
In that case, wouldn't it be wonderful if he created another opportunity, one for each person?
Li's mother quickly tidied up the guest room and led Jiang Yuanxiu there, telling him that they would have dinner together later.
No matter what she said, Jiang Yuanxiu agreed to it all.
Li's mother returned to the kitchen, where Li's father was preparing vegetables.
"Dad, don't say anything unpleasant during dinner later. After all, he's Bao'er's future husband..."
She sighed and said worriedly, "I wonder if he'll hold a grudge after what I did to him at the door."
What if I take my anger out on Bao'er after marriage?
Li Kangping angrily threw the vegetable leaves into the basket, but said comforting words: "The fact that he came means he values Bao'er a lot."
"Judging from his words, he came to ask for a test."
Li's mother felt both sad and hopeful: "I wish the wedding procession could really pass by our house."
The firewood burning under the stove crackled and popped, its sound particularly clear amidst the sudden silence.
Mr. Li put down the vegetable leaves he was holding, walked behind the stove, picked up the fire tongs and poked the fire in a couple of times, then added some firewood.
The firelight shone on his face, revealing a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
The sky was getting dark.
When Li Wenrui returned from school, he found a stranger in the courtyard and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Looking at the six or seven-year-old boy in front of him, Jiang Yuanxiu thought to himself that he had gained another advantage to suppress his older brother, and said in a very good mood, "My name is Jiang Yuanxiu."
