Chapter 8 Chapter 8 With a daughter like this, this family will surely be harmonious...
Jiang Weihai's actions made the villagers who stayed at home feel that he was willing in his heart, otherwise how could he say such words?
The two aunts ran to the kitchen and whispered to Wu Hehua: "See? I think your Wei Hai and Wen Ying seem to be in love with each other."
Wu Hehua loved to hear this, but she couldn't be too confident. If it didn't work out, she would be laughed at.
Wu Hehua left a lot of room for maneuver and said with a smile, "Whether it will succeed or not depends on them. If it doesn't, so what? It's my blessing to have Wen Ying as my daughter."
Jiang Xiaoci felt that those who kept talking to her father endlessly were really tactless. If they continued talking, when would her parents be able to talk?
She looked at the sun that had already set over the treetops and decided to be rude, urging him, "Uncle Jiang, didn't you say you were going to pick up my mother? If you don't leave now, it will be dark."
Everyone understood what was going on. After a few jokes, they urged Jiang Weihai to go pick up the people. Jiang Weihai took the opportunity to get up, and Jiang Xiaoci led the way to the quarrying village.
It was not until they entered the road of Caishi Village and met people who were no longer familiar to them that Jiang Xiaoci became lively: "Dad, after you finish talking to Mom, shall we go to the family compound? But I am a little reluctant to leave Dahe Village."
Jiang Weihai thought about it and decided to talk to Jiang Xiaoci first. He gave her a general account of the family situation: "If you get married with me and your mother, you will have two more brothers. The brothers are not easy to get along with. Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Xiaoci smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. When I find a good partner for my brothers, they will thank me."
Jiang Weihai thought about that future for a moment. His two sons were probably going to get angry. He said hurriedly, "My brothers are still young. There's no need to rush to find a partner."
Jiang Weihai could not continue the conversation with Jiang Xiaoci who was urging him to get married. Fortunately, they had already arrived at Old Man Qi's house. Qi Wanlin was standing at the door, as if there was someone at home and he needed to leave.
Jiang Xiaoci ran a few steps and asked, "Grandpa Qi, where is my mother?"
Father Qi hushed softly and said, "Matchmaker Wang's daughter is here, and she's talking to your mother in the room."
"Why is it her house again? The ghost is still haunting her!" Jiang Xiaoci was worried and ran home in a few steps.
Father Qi asked Jiang Weihai to wait outside. During the lunch break, he had already observed Jiang Weihai's character and praised him highly in his heart. He felt that Jiang Weihai and Gu Wenying were a good match.
Old Man Qi joked, "Matchmaker Wang's daughter stopped you from getting married in your hometown because she wanted to use your marriage to gain benefits for her family. You know this, right?"
Jiang Weihai wanted to impress Father Qi, so he didn't hide anything: "Mother-in-law Qu Fengqin asked me to go on a blind date before I came back. If I succeeded, the other party promised to help her son get promoted to an office. How could I use my marriage as a stepping stone for her son? I refused, but the other party was thinking that it was for my own good, which was really unreasonable."
Qi Wanlin nodded secretly, thinking that it would be better for Xiaoci to have a stepfather like him who knew his own business, rather than marrying someone whose background he didn't know.
He said, "Xiaoci has arranged such a good marriage for our family. In my heart, I treat her as my own granddaughter. Whether you and Comrade Wenying succeed or not, they will have a place to go. When you talk to Comrade Wenying, don't feel burdened. Both of you should explain your situations clearly."
Jiang Weihai actually became nervous. Comrade Gu Wenying did not necessarily have to rely on him.
…
In the room, Qu Fengqin had heard the noise outside and knew that Jiang Weihai was coming. She was extremely anxious. Seeing that Gu Wenying still did not respond, she emphasized again:
"I called home yesterday, and my mother-in-law said that Jiang Weihai rejected the matchmaking arranged by his boss in order not to embarrass his hometown. If he offends his boss, it will affect his future. I am not advising you to break up. I just want to say that if you don't like him, please make it clear as soon as possible to avoid making everyone feel uneasy."
Gu Wenying was chased here and humiliated. No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't bear it. Besides, she was not the type to swallow her anger.
She retorted, "You are neither my family nor a relative of the Jiang family. Is it your turn to interfere in the matter between Jiang Weihai and me?"
Qi Xiuzhu was even more angry: "You said you wanted to talk to my sister-in-law about my brother, so I let you in. As soon as you came in, you changed your tone and broke your promise. Now that my brother is here, can't they say what they want to say? They can convey it more clearly than you can. You should leave now."
Jiang Xiaoci was so angry that she looked at Qu Fengqin's marriage thread, which was broken into pieces. She immediately fought back: "Aunt Qu, your husband must be in trouble. You should go back and check it out as soon as possible."
Qu Fengqin was surprised and annoyed: "What are you talking about, little girl?"
Jiang Xiaoci: "The truth, you can find out if you go back and check it yourself."
Jiang Weihai could hear what was said in the room in the kitchen, and he felt confused. Was Jiang Xiaoci's mouth really blessed?
There was indeed a problem with Qu Fengqin's lover, and her husband's family knew everything about it. They asked her to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives, which was unusual. In fact, they didn't want her to be at home when they were solving the problem.
Jiang Weihai and Old Man Qi said, "Uncle, Xiaoci is arguing with someone, I'll go over and say a few words."
Qi Wanlin said, "I feel relieved that you can make sense of it. I have another college entrance examination this year and I can't afford to delay it. I'm going back to school."
Jiang Weihai sent Old Man Qi to the door of his house. When he turned around, Qu Fengqin was kicked out. Seeing him, she wanted to find recognition. She ran over and said, "Jiang Weihai, your adoptive parents hate you for having contact with this place. You still have to come back to explain to Gu Wenying. This is causing trouble for your adoptive mother."
This completely offended everyone, and Jiang Weihai had no reason to show her mercy and interrupt her self-righteousness.
"I have a mouth. If I have any problem, I can speak for myself. I don't need you to do it for me. Also, your husband is eloping at home, so your mother-in-law asked you to come back to visit. If you have time to meddle in other people's affairs, you might as well go back and deal with your own problems."
Qu Fengqin's heart was broken, because she knew Jiang Weihai was a man who would not make up rumors about such things. If he said it, then it must be true. She ran back trembling and dizzy.
Gu Wenying thought that Jiang Weihai had a good personality, was not indecisive and was not a pushover, so her favorability towards him increased a little.
…
Jiang Xiaoci and her aunt were sitting in the yard while her parents were talking about marriage in the house. She wanted to get closer to listen several times, but was pulled back by Qi Xiuzhu.
Qi Xiuzhu lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoci, if you go over there, they will be shy and it will be difficult to talk to them."
Jiang Xiaoci said: "If my parents are worried about how my brother and I will get along, my presence here can ease their concerns."
She ran so fast that Qi Xiuzhu couldn't stop her. Her marriage was arranged by Jiang Xiaoci, so maybe she had a higher chance of success.
She simply went outside the yard to prevent any nosy neighbors from coming over and causing trouble.
…
Jiang Xiaoci ran in and saw her father and mother looking at each other, neither of them saying a word.
Her decision to come in was timely. Jiang Xiaoci urged her, "Uncle Jiang, Mom, it's getting dark. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Gu Wenying pulled her daughter to sit beside her, gently stroked her head, and signaled her to be patient.
Although she and Jiang Weihai didn't speak, after looking at each other just now, they were weighing the pros and cons in their minds. Jiang Weihai's conditions were top-notch among those who wanted to get married again. If they couldn't make the deal, it would be difficult to find a more suitable partner for remarriage in the future.
Gu Wenying is just proud, not stupid. She likes Jiang Weihai, so she has to express her true thoughts.
She said, "Comrade Jiang Weihai, my requirement for my remarriage partner is that I hope my future family can protect my Xiaoci. She is getting older and older. If she encounters something that is robbed or taken away, I hope she can have a complete family to back her up."
Jiang Xiaoci was puzzled and turned to look at her mother: "Mom, I can't make money and my eyesight is not good, who would snatch it from me? Why are you worried?"
Gu Wenying didn't say it clearly, but she saw the signs when she took her daughter away from her hometown.
Jiang Weihai understood what was said. He looked at the little girl again. Wu Hehua had told him that Xiaoci's mind and body did not match. She had not yet opened her mind and could not understand some of the words of adults.
Jiang Weihai said: "I am not young anymore. I have worked hard for 20 years and I am capable of protecting my wife and children."
Gu Wenying knew that he was capable, but she felt relieved only after getting a personal guarantee.
"Then can I ask, what was the reason for your divorce from your ex-wife? What do your two sons think of your remarriage?"
"My last marriage was arranged by my adoptive mother, and the divorce was initiated by my ex-wife, who felt that I was not her soul mate. However, we divorced peacefully after negotiation, and there was no unpleasantness. My two sons can accept their mother's remarriage, and they can also accept my remarriage."
In fact, after this divorce, Gu Wenying actually liked Jiang Weihai even better.
Gu Wenying also stated the reason for her divorce.
"My ex-husband is a romantic but philandering man. After marriage, he still had ambiguous relationships with young girls and wives around him. After I found out, he hid the fact that I was pregnant with Xiaoci and filed for divorce. I have been raising Xiaoci by myself for more than ten years. I would rather be alone than settle for someone who is not my best friend."
Jiang Weihai hadn't had the sense of pride that only young people have for many years. He smiled and said, "Did you choose me?"
Not liking each other, and not being able to say so much, Gu Wenying was a little shy and said, "Comrade Jiang Weihai, I can see that you like me too, but I still have to remind you that I have a really bad temper and I take things very seriously. Sometimes, a matter that you think is very small may be a matter of principle to me. Why don't we each make a promise and accept a peaceful breakup if we really can't live together anymore."
This was the first time Jiang Weihai heard the woman propose such a condition. The other party was not afraid of divorce, but Jiang Weihai hoped that this would be his last marriage and he would manage it well.
In order to reassure Gu Wenying, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and file the marriage report now."
When Jiang Xiaoci heard that her parents had started preparing marriage documents, she was overjoyed and boasted, "Uncle Jiang, can I call you dad now? See, I said I was right to be a matchmaker, right?"
Jiang Weihai smiled and said, this child is so good. With a daughter like her, the family will definitely be harmonious.
Gu Wenying was pleased and became reserved: "We need to avoid suspicion before we get the marriage certificate. I will stay at Xiuzhu's place for a few days. I will go back after we get the marriage certificate."
Jiang Weihai also meant this. Gu Wenying and he were thinking the same thing. He stood up and saluted: "Comrade Wenying, I'm sorry to bother you to stay away for a few days. I will get the marriage documents ready as soon as possible."
Seeing the satisfied shyness on her mother's face, Jiang Xiaoci felt particularly happy. She had brought together another couple, and they were her own parents.
