Chapter 12: Marriage
"Think about being at home?"
"who!"
When Jiang Xiangxiang heard someone calling her name, she immediately walked out. When she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged woman in a flowered cotton jacket appear at the door with a bright smile on her face.
"Who are you?"
"Hey, girl, I'm your aunt Chunhua, hurry up, let me in, let's talk in the room."
"Ah, Aunt Chunhua?" Jiang Xiangxiang searched through the original owner's memory and quickly figured it out. Isn't this person a famous matchmaker in the village? She came to arrange a marriage for her.
Thinking back to what Ye Meiping said before, what else is there to not understand?
Chunhua didn't notice that something was wrong with her, and directly pulled her into the main room, sitting her down in front of the eight-immortals table. Looking at her dazed look, the smile on her face became even more enthusiastic.
"Good boy, I told you so. The magpie has been chirping non-stop on the poplar tree at the door this morning. It turns out it's a sign of great joy for the Lord. Your aunt is here to propose marriage to you."
"Propose marriage..." Jiang Xiangxiang knew what was going on, but pretended to be shy and asked timidly, "Auntie, who asked you to do it?"
"Lu's kid, Lu Jianshen." Chunhua didn't hide anything and said directly, "He's a soldier, 183cm tall, 3 years older than you, 25 this year, handsome, good-looking, I heard he was an officer in the army, he came back for vacation a while ago, he's at home now, he's just a little older, but I think that's not a big deal, men will be caring when they get older, those young and inexperienced ones are useless."
It was indeed him.
Jiang Xiangxiang tried to recall it, but had no recollection. That's right, the original owner fainted after falling into the water, and of course he had no idea what happened afterwards.
However, since he came to propose marriage just because someone fell into the water, this person should not be too bad.
Thinking about what Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou said, her thoughts became more active. She wanted to leave here and at the same time cause trouble for them, killing two birds with one stone.
As a soldier, she should be able to follow the army, right?
Seeing that she was keeping her head down and not talking, Chunhua thought she was just embarrassed, so she held her hand and took the initiative to say, "My daughter, I have watched you grow up, and I know it's not easy for you. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. With the Lu family's financial situation, if you marry into their family, you will only enjoy happiness and not suffer. It will be better than now, right?"
Living next to each other, Jiang Xiangxiang knew what kind of life she had lived since she was a child. As neighbors, they knew that Jiang Xiangxiang had suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child.
Ye Meiping, the one who killed Tiandao, was like a possessed person, and treated Jiang Xiangxiang badly in all kinds of ways.
They could say it once, they could say it twice, but they could not stop Jiang Xiangxiang from living under Ye Meiping for a long time. Every time after these outsiders tried to persuade her, Jiang Xiangxiang would be beaten even more severely.
As time went by, they no longer dared to persuade.
Now that this opportunity finally came, when Lu Jianshen came to her, Chunhua came over without any hesitation.
Jiang Xiangxiang listened to what she said and raised his head: "Aunt, can I meet him? At least I have to ask him why he wants to marry me."
Chunhua: "Ah, meet him? That's right, we have to meet him. After all, marriage is a lifelong event. Wait, I'll pass on the message to you."
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I need to meet him before I know if it's possible. So, tell him that I'll be waiting for him under the sycamore tree at the entrance of the village at 5 o'clock tonight."
Chunhua: "Okay, but please don't tell your mother about this. I'm afraid she will cause trouble for you. It will be really difficult to deal with it then."
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "Okay, don't worry."
She is not stupid. Ye Meiping is so biased that if she knew someone came to propose marriage, she would definitely make trouble for her. Besides, the mother and daughter are determined to snatch Lu Jianshen away.
Although Jiang Xiangxiang wanted to cause trouble for the other party and also wanted to get rid of his current environment, he couldn't take advantage of others, let alone drag innocent people into the water.
She had to figure out why Lu Jianshen wanted to marry her. If it was simply because he wanted to be responsible, then that would be fine. But if he liked the original owner, then she had to make it clear.
All of this needs to be decided after meeting Lu Jianshen in person. Jiang Xiangxiang will not try any rash measures and agree to it casually. After all, it is a matter of a lifetime.
Jiang Xiangxiang thought that when he was in modern times, he had never even been in love. He had only seen pigs run but had never eaten pork. Now that he had traveled through time, he couldn't just explain himself without knowing what was going on. It was impossible.
After Chunhua agreed, she walked out. When she reached the door, he did not forget to repeatedly remind her to think carefully about it. The boy from the Lu family was really good and a good marriage partner.
If it wasn't a boy her family gave birth to, she would have given him up early.
Jiang Xiangxiang found it funny, but she also understood in her heart that the other person meant well. Whether she believed it or not, she had to take a look at it first.
No one knew where Ye Meiping and Jiang Rourou had gone. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon and there was still an hour left, so she had to hurry and pack up.
Jiang Xiangxiang went upstairs and looked at the mirror with a big red print. The original owner's face looked pale and sickly, not very good-looking, and his hair was messy and not very tidy.
Forget it, just dress up a little, this can be considered a blind date, maybe we will fall in love with each other.
Jiang Xiangxiang took out a comb and combed his hair a little. He was shocked to find that his hair was almost tangled into a ball and could not be combed smoothly at all.
After thinking it over, I got a bucket of spiritual spring water and washed my hair again with the hot water. I also took out a bottle of shampoo I had stockpiled and washed my hair with it, which smelled delicious.
After washing, I shook my head and felt a lot more relaxed.
Jiang Xiangxiang took a deep breath. This time, her hair looked much more beautiful. With it draped over her shoulders, she looked more gentle. She also did not forget to put away the shampoo and other things.
If other people saw this, there would be trouble.
After doing all this, Jiang Xiangxiang went to his room to look for clothes. He didn't know until he looked there that no one said a word. Is this what you call clothes?
The original owner's clothes were either tattered or patched and too short. If you knew they were girls' clothes, those who didn't know would think they were beggar's clothes from somewhere.
There is no Beggars' Gang these days, otherwise, the original owner would instantly turn into the leader of the Beggars' Gang when he put it on.
Jiang Xiangxiang angrily threw the junk aside and turned to walk towards another room. This was Jiang Rourou's bedroom, and also her secret base. She usually hid all the good things here.
