There are five rooms in the Xia family courtyard. The horizontal one in the middle is the most spacious, and the other two rooms on each side have yellow mud adobe walls and thatched roofs, similar to other houses in the village. At this time, the courtyard and the wall were full of people, all of whom were stunned by the words of the village chief.
The village chief means,
Did the two Xia sisters marry the Ji brothers? Ah, this...
Ji's mother was even more furious. Didn't she understand that she was just being polite? She wasn't a fool, saying bad things about the girl in front of everyone in the yard.
But Ji's mother suffered because she cared too much about other people's face, and the next second someone grabbed her hand.
Xia Luo's mother had been hiding in the crowd without saying a word. But when she saw the village chief standing up for her daughter and finding such a good son-in-law like Chang Ye, and she didn't have to offend her mother-in-law, she immediately jumped out and said, "Mother-in-law, my Xia Luo is diligent and obedient.
She's about the same age as Chang Ye, so marrying into your family will definitely not put you at a disadvantage!"
"He Jie'er will be your eldest daughter-in-law, and my daughter Xia Luo will be your youngest daughter-in-law. They are sisters, how wonderful!"
A strange light bloomed on her weathered face, and her face flushed with excitement. Chang Ye was also in the army. Although he was not as successful as his elder brother, he was still a brother with his elder brother's protection and support. How could he be bad in the future?
This is a great marriage, such a good opportunity, we can't miss it.
Xia Luo's mother couldn't help but look at her mother-in-law: "Mom, what do you think?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.
This time her daughter didn't block Xia He's way, so her mother-in-law should agree, right?
Mrs. Xia: "..."
She wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
She had been so focused on helping her daughter find a marriage that she had never considered that there was another Ji Changye in the Ji family.
At this moment, two boys were in the yard, one was fair and lively,
A man with a dark and stern face, he just couldn't stand Ji Changqing.
This is too dark. Those strong tendons on his arms, I wonder if he would hit someone? He has a cold face and doesn't talk. Is he easy to get along with...
Chang Ye looked fair and clean, exactly the type her girl liked.
Old Mrs. Xia felt aggrieved. Why did she tie the girl and Changqing together without seeing clearly?
Xia Luo happened to watch the whole process of Old Lady Xia's face changing. She felt relieved and vented her anger. Unfortunately, it was too late for the old woman to regret it now! Xia He could no longer have anything to do with Chang Ye.
She lowered her head slightly to look weak, careful not to let anyone see the corners of her mouth that curled up.
Seeing that Old Lady Xia hadn't said anything for a long time, Xia Luo's mother became anxious: "Mom, Luo'er has always given in to He Jie'er since she was little. Now that they are sisters-in-law, they will definitely get along well. They can also take care of each other in the future when they join the army together."
She was flustered, afraid that her mother-in-law would think that her daughter was taking advantage, so she racked her brains to say all kinds of nice things.
Unexpectedly, the last sentence hit the nail on the head for Old Mrs. Xia.
Yes, this damn girl has been stupid since she was young, making her afraid to go east and afraid to go west. As long as she scolds her a few more times, she will definitely be obedient when she arrives at the army. But if it is a sister-in-law, it may not be certain.
After some consideration, Old Lady Xia immediately laughed cheerfully: "I think it's a good idea! It's just right for two sisters to be together."
Xia Luo's mother breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
The villagers had complicated feelings. The two sisters of the Xia family were so lucky. The two children of the Ji family were the most promising in the whole village, and they were all adopted by their family.
The Ji family, who were completely ignored: "..."
So they don't have any objections? They're just tools, right?
Old Lady Xia looked at Ji's mother happily: "His second daughter-in-law, then it's settled. Changqing and Changye will be returning to the army soon, right? When do you think it would be a good time to hold the wedding?"
She thought that since Changqing was the battalion commander, the girl would definitely have to follow the army after they got married, so she had to make preparations in advance.
Ji's mother was so angry that she was speechless. She said politely, "Aunt, I think we should wait a little longer. The head of our family is not here, so shouldn't we discuss such a big matter later?"
She glanced at the children and said, "Whether this can be done or not, we still have to see what the children think, right?"
"If they are unwilling, won't we be harming them?"
Ji's mother thought that Changqing's matter was difficult to handle, but Changye was a lively person and dared to argue with anyone. As long as he said he was not happy, she could cancel this foolish marriage.
Old Lady Xia thought the same and immediately looked at Ji Changye: "Changye, what do you think? Do you like that damn girl?"
Her tone was casual and her posture was even more nonchalant, and it was clear at a glance how much the old lady didn't care about her granddaughter.
Ji Changye almost burst into a curse. This old woman is too bullying! He wanted to say that he was not happy about it. Who wants to get involved in this bullshit?
But before he could open his mouth, he heard a soft sob in his ears.
Xia Luo looked at him with red eyes, trying hard to hold back her tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to drag you into this. It's all my fault. Just refuse it. You deserve a better future and marry a better girl instead of getting entangled with someone like me."
After she finished speaking, tears began to fall and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped them with her hands.
Ji Changye looked at her trembling shoulders, and the refusal he was about to say was stuck in his throat. An inexplicable feeling of guilt came over him.
It can be seen that her situation at home is very bad, and she even has the intention to die. If he refuses, then won't she have no way to survive?
For a moment, I couldn't help but hesitate and feel torn.
Xihe and Gouzi were stunned watching from the side. What a clever trick.
So, if he was so powerful, why did he end up so miserable in his first life? It's simply unscientific.
Old Mrs. Xia took a look and was surprised. She didn't like it.
Ji's mother was also a little happy, and hurriedly urged: "Changye, why are you standing there? Come on and tell me."
Ji Changye: “…”
He scratched his head, not knowing what to do, and couldn't help but look at his elder brother: "Brother..."
Everyone was stunned, and then they remembered that there was such a person standing in the yard! Since entering the yard, Ji Changqing, as the eldest brother, has not spoken a word. Whether it is Old Lady Xia's unreasonable nagging or Xihe and Ji Changye's tit-for-tat, he is obviously the protagonist of the day, but he has no sense of presence at all.
A tall man about 1.9 meters tall stood in the yard, looking intimidating, but everyone subconsciously ignored his presence.
Ji Changye was not surprised. After all, his brother's job was different. This kind of ability was what those people needed most. It would be inappropriate to be too conspicuous.
Xihe was also startled, and finally looked at this "ordinary" man seriously.
He was dressed in olive green, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His eyes were bright and sharp under his short hair. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or happy. He said calmly, "If you want to marry me, marry me. If you don't want to, just say so."
Ji Changye thought so too, but asked: "What about you? Will you marry him?"
He knew his brother was definitely not the kind of person who would agree with whatever others said.
