Through the window, Lin Jiaojiao saw a rural woman about the same age as Zhang Xiaoe standing at the door.
He has a square face and a slightly bloated figure.
He was wearing a light blue cloth jacket, but it was a little yellowish.
Lin Jiaojiao guessed that it must be a neighbor, and greeted him with a smile.
"Auntie is busy in the kitchen in the backyard. Huai'an is not here. What can I do for you?"
The woman also saw her and her eyes lit up!
He looked her over and over from top to bottom.
"What a pretty girl! Are you the one An Wazi brought back?"
News spreads quickly in this village!
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, my name is Lin Jiaojiao, who are you?"
"Oh hey, it really is!"
The woman slapped it hard and spun around her in a big circle.
Lin Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that.
"Or I'll go call my aunt over."
"Why would I call her? I just came to see you. Your family is from the city, right? Look at how pretty she is. What village girl could look like this?"
"Thank you for the compliment, auntie, but I think everyone has their own beauty. I saw a few little girls when I came here just now, and they are also very beautiful!"
"City people are really different, they just know how to talk!"
The woman glanced at the backyard quietly as she spoke, then moved closer to Lin Jiaojiao and asked in a low voice.
"Girl, Auntie sees that you are a good person, so I want to ask you a question. Do you know everything about his family?"
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes darkened, realizing that the woman in front of her had ill intentions.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"No need for your words. My name is Li Cuihua, you can just call me Aunt Cuihua. Let me tell you, even though his son is now a regiment leader, he is completely useless. He is injured in that area and can't have children. If you marry him at such a young age, you will be a widow forever!"
Lin Jiaojiao took a half step back and raised her eyebrows sarcastically.
"Really? How did you know?"
"I live next door, and I know everything about his family. And don't be fooled by his mother. That woman is very good at pretending. She deliberately tricks city girls like you into marrying her son. After you get married, she will immediately turn her face and bully you for the rest of your life. If you ask me, you should find an opportunity as soon as possible..."
"Li Cuihua! Why are you here?"
Before Li Cuihua finished speaking, Zhang Xiao'e ran over angrily, grabbed Lin Jiaojiao and pulled her behind her, warning her with an angry face.
"Are you being rude again? Who allowed you to enter my house?"
Hearing this, Li Cuihua looked proud and said, "What's wrong? Neighbors are not allowed to come?"
"You didn't say that. Didn't you want to stop coming to my house? Why are you doing this again? What do you want?"
After Zhang Xiaoe finished speaking, she looked at Lin Jiaojiao worriedly again.
"Girl, don't pay any attention to her. This woman is just a jerk!"
"Who are you talking about? Who are you scolding?"
Li Cuihua was furious, looking up and about to curse: "Why am I so reckless? I just felt sorry for this girl, so I told her the truth. She has done nothing wrong, so why are you so anxious?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You don't need to meddle in our family affairs. Leave now!"
"Hey! I'm not leaving! Girl, what I just said is true. Their family has been extinct for a long time. If you marry into their family, you will suffer misfortune. Zhang Xiao'e, you have done such evil things, aren't you afraid of retribution? That's right, haven't you already suffered retribution?"
"Li Cuihua, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
These words directly hit Zhang Xiaoe's sore spot.
Originally, she didn't want to make things too awkward in front of Lin Jiaojiao, but the person in front of her was too much.
As he spoke, he reached out to push the person out.
Lin Jiaojiao's face also turned gloomy.
That's too harsh!
First he hinted at Ji Huaian, and then he talked about retribution. Isn’t that a hint at the abducted elder sister?
This is a direct attack on people's hearts!
Li Cuihua dodged while shouting, "Go ahead and tear it apart if you dare! Do you think you can change the facts by blocking my mouth? Your eldest daughter..."
"I know everything!"
Lin Jiaojiao's loud voice instantly interrupted the two of them.
She looked at Li Cuihua coldly.
"I already knew those things a long time ago. Ji Huaian didn't hide them from me, but I still want to get married."
"You, are you stupid?"
"Auntie, this is just our first meeting, and we've been very friendly from beginning to end. Why are you cursing?"
"I, I didn't!"
Li Cuihua was shocked and confused. She didn't expect that Lin Jiaojiao actually knew about it. This was completely different from what she had expected. She asked unwillingly.
"Then why did you marry him?"
"Aunt, this is strange. It's because I love him and he loves me. As for my mother-in-law, she is virtuous, capable, and kind-hearted. She has always treated me like her own daughter. I want to ask, why don't you marry me?"
"Can……"
"Originally, I shouldn't be telling you this, because you're just an insignificant person, but you insisted on coming to our doorstep to make a scene. Then let me make it clear: Ji Huaian and I have a legitimate and clean marriage. Not only do I know this, but my parents know it too. If you're here just to get a glass of wedding wine, you're always welcome. If you're here for something else... did you hear what my mother-in-law said? Leave immediately!"
Lin Jiaojiao's voice was gentle and there was a smile on her face.
After saying this, the other party was left speechless.
I could only grit my teeth and leave in shame.
"Auntie...Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Lin Jiaojiao turned around, she saw Zhang Xiaoe's red eyes. Her heart tightened, thinking that she had said something wrong just now.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiao'e hugged her tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"Thank you for speaking up for me, girl."
“That’s the truth.”
Zhang Xiao'e let go of her hand and looked at the gentle and kind girl in front of her. Her heart softened and she felt even more guilty.
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't stand this kind of crying scene, so she changed the subject.
"We're neighbors, so why are we getting along so awkwardly?"
"Ah! These are things from my youth. I can't explain them in a few words, but there's one thing..."
Zhang Xiao'e paused for a moment, as if she had made up her mind. With a complicated expression, she continued, "Li Cuihua is right. Ji Huaian's illness is indeed very difficult. If it really doesn't work out, let's just forget about our two families' affairs."
"But don't worry, Auntie really likes you. Even if this thing doesn't work out, I will still treat you like my own daughter in the future, as long as you are willing!"
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned.
I didn't expect Zhang Xiao'e to say this to me.
At this point, the betrothal gift has already been paid.
As the man’s mother, she can make such a decision, which shows that she is a good person.
Lin Jiaojiao's expression became more serious: "You heard what I just said. I am willing."
In fact, the issue of the child is not really a problem. The key point is whether Ji Huaian is someone worthy of her trust.
If it's not worth it, then not having children is a good thing.
