Chapter 19: Agree on a wedding date
Jiang Xian didn't know the inside story. After all, he had never told her about what Lu Bin had done for his family.
After listening to what Lu's mother said, she just thought that Lu's mother wanted her and Lu Bin to live a good life.
This is of course as it should be, even though her marriage was quite casual.
But she also knew that marriage was a big deal, not a joke. Since she was married to Lu Bin, she had not thought about the word divorce at the moment.
So, she promised Lu's mother:
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will."
Jiang Xian hasn't changed her words yet, even though Mother Lu has already called herself "Mom" in front of her.
However, after all, the wedding banquet had not been held yet, and the change of name fee had not been collected yet, so she naturally could not call out "Mom".
It's not that she is materialistic or greedy for money.
After all, Lu Bin's family conditions are there.
If she despised Lu Bin's family being poor, she would never have chosen to marry him.
It's just a folk custom, she can't break the rules because of this.
Besides, she had family members who loved her in her previous life, but suddenly she traveled to this world and called a stranger she had just met "mom".
Jiang Xian felt that he still needed some time to adapt.
So, when she responded to Lu's mother, she still called her auntie.
As for Lu's mother, she didn't care whether Jiang Xian changed his words or not.
She is now worried in her heart, wondering whether her son can do it.
She had something on her mind and looked a little worried, but after all, Jiang Xian was still here, and Mother Lu didn't want to ask Lu Bin about this matter in person.
It's quite private after all.
Looking at all this now, it’s pretty good.
But in the future, if the two get married, this matter will be exposed sooner or later.
I don’t know if Jiang Xian knows that his son is not capable of doing this.
If she knew about it, there would be no need to worry. Since she still chose to marry their son after knowing it, it means that she doesn't mind.
But what if his son is shy and embarrassed to tell Jiang Xian about such an embarrassing thing and keeps it a secret?
Then after getting married in the future, won’t it affect the relationship between husband and wife?
Mother Lu's originally extremely happy mood when she saw her new daughter-in-law instantly dropped.
But she quickly hid this emotion well.
It disappeared almost instantly. If he hadn't been staring at her, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
How could Jiang Xian know that in just a few words, Lu's mother was already thinking about something.
They saw that Lu Bin was still holding the things they had bought before they came back.
Jiang Xian reached out, took the thing from Lu Bin's hand, and handed it to Lu's mother:
"Auntie, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought something at random."
"See if you and uncle like it."
While Jiang Xian was speaking, he cleverly brought along Father Lu, who had been sitting on the kang without saying a word.
Don't ignore anyone's feelings.
Just so understanding.
Originally, Mr. Lu planned to be a transparent tool.
He smiles when someone mentions him.
If no one mentions him, he will disappear.
When he heard Jiang Xian mention him, Father Lu immediately looked up and headed towards them.
When he looked at his old lady, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
That damn old woman knew that he also wanted to see his new daughter-in-law, but she bullied him because his weak legs and feet prevented him from getting out of bed.
Father Lu was furious and said to Jiang Xian:
"I like it, I like it. You are here as long as you are here, why are you buying anything?"
"This is your home from now on, so don't be polite to us."
We chatted for a few more sentences intermittently.
Finally we got to the point.
Father and Mother Lu asked Jiang Xian what she thought about marriage.
After all, marriage is a big deal and cannot be perfunctory. Although their family lives in poverty, there must always be a sense of ceremony.
You have to have everything you deserve, and you can’t let a girl suffer any grievances after marrying into your family.
No matter how poor the conditions are, they cannot be lower than the treatment of the first two daughters-in-law.
Jiang Xian was stunned by the question. What ideas could she have? If you want her to give any advice, then she really knows nothing.
After all, she had no experience in this area, and she did not understand the traditions of this era, so she could not offer any suggestions at all.
So, Jiang Xian said to leave everything to Lu Bin's family.
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu suggested that the two parents meet to discuss the marriage.
Before Jiang Xian could answer, Lu Bin spoke directly:
"Jiang Xian's parents are both dead. She was raised by her uncle and aunt, but they were not kind to her."
"She chose to come to our countryside in order to hide away."
After Lu Bin said this, everyone in the room fell silent.
Father and Mother Lu had never expected that Jiang Xian's life would be so rough.
Since her uncle and aunt are not nice to her, is it necessary to invite her uncle and aunt to the wedding?
If she screams, something will definitely happen, and then the wedding might not be so easy to hold.
After all, they are not their biological children, so they definitely won't feel sorry for them. There is even a possibility that they will cause trouble at the wedding because of the slightest dissatisfaction.
By then, everyone will be unhappy.
Moreover, Jiang Xian must also hate her uncle and aunt. From what their son said, Jiang Xian's uncle and aunt even abused her.
Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to invite your enemies over on such a happy day?
But if I don’t invite them, then after all, no matter what, they are Jiang Xian’s last relatives in this world.
If no one from the bride's family comes to the house on such an important day as a wedding, wouldn't the villagers laugh at you?
Mother Lu opened her mouth, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I really don’t know what to do.
No matter what, they have to respect Jiang Xian's ideas.
But I don’t know how to start.
Whether to allow Jiang Xian’s uncle and aunt to come over is entirely up to Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian thought about it and said:
"I have nothing to hide. When I went to the countryside, I severed ties with my uncle and aunt."
"So, of course, I don't need to invite them to my wedding."
Jiang Xian didn't want to call the original owner's uncle and aunt over to cause trouble.
Wouldn't that just be making things difficult for yourself?
She's not that stupid.
Besides, the little affection that the original owner had between her uncle and aunt's family had been completely exhausted when she went to the countryside to replace their daughter.
After hearing Jiang Xian's words, Lu's father and mother looked at each other.
After thinking about it, he finally chose to respect Jiang Xian's wishes.
Since she said she can't come, then don't come.
Then, the topic of bride price came up.
Mother Lu said readily:
"Although our family is poor, we still have to give what we need. We have spent a lot of money on medicine for our illnesses over the years."
"But the money for marrying a wife is still kept."
"Your first two sisters-in-law each received a betrothal gift of 120 yuan."
"When you get here, Mom will give you two hundred to make it an even number!"
As soon as Mother Lu finished speaking, the door banged and was kicked open from the outside!
