"Don't ask a woman's age, it's very presumptuous," Tao Ying said to Tang Xuan seriously.
Tang Xuan: "..." Who can take her away!
"Aunt Tao, when did you meet Jiang Jiang? I've never heard Jiang Jiang mention you before," Tang Xuan asked helplessly.
"We just met today, so of course you've never heard of me before," Tao Ying replied earnestly.
"Aunt Tao, can you be serious for once?!" Tang Xuan was about to break down.
"Who's being indecent? You child, you can't ruin my reputation. I still have children who aren't married yet." Tao Ying was unwilling to listen anymore.
"So how did you meet Jiang Jiang? Why did she mention Xia Wenjing to you on the very first day you met her? Do you even know who Xia Wenjing is? It's so difficult for Jiang Jiang to even meet him." Tang Xuan ruthlessly exposed Tao Ying's lies.
"I retired and wanted to find factories to source goods. Xia Ke and I were kidnapped by human traffickers because of fate, but we escaped together. The Xia family felt indebted to me, so they sent Jiang Jiang to Foshan to pick me up." Tao Ying succinctly explained what happened.
"Why should Jiang Jiang repay the favor from the Xia family? And why should Jiang Jiang pick you up instead of them bringing you here?" Tang Xuan asked angrily.
"I asked Jiang Jiang the same question," Tao Ying replied.
"The Xia family is bullying us too much," Tang Xuan said angrily.
"You can be angry all you want. I'm going to the guesthouse." Tao Ying patted Tang Xuan on the shoulder and stood up.
"Aunt Tao, why don't you come to my house to rest for the night? You're Jiang Jiang's friend, so I have to take good care of you." Tang Xuan quickly got up.
Tao Ying's outfit isn't very safe in this area.
"Let's forget about it," Tao Ying refused.
"Then I'll take you to the guesthouse. It's not safe for you to be alone so late at night," Tang Xuan insisted.
"Okay, thank you." Tao Ying didn't refuse.
I got a bar of soap and a new towel from Tang Xuan, mainly because I couldn't buy them late at night.
And he made an appointment with Tang Xuan to go to Jiang Jiang's house at eight o'clock in the morning.
The two of them rushed to Jiang Jiang's house and saw Jiang Jiang exercising outside. She looked great and didn't see Tang Xiao.
"What happened? Tang Xiao didn't get up?" Tao Ying asked in shock.
"Tang Xiaoxiao is making breakfast." Jiang Jiang didn't think much of it.
"Didn't you see his abs?" Tao Ying couldn't help but ask.
Tang Xuan watched Jiang Jiang with great anticipation.
"I saw it, there are eight pieces, all rock hard," Jiang Jiang replied softly.
"And then?" Tao Ying asked through gritted teeth.
"What then?" Jiang Jiang asked, not quite understanding.
"That's true, my idea was too bold," Tao Ying sighed.
What Tao Ying experienced these past two days made her feel like she had returned to a past life.
Tang Xuan was also very shocked. While the two were talking, he quietly went inside.
"Uncle, didn't anything happen last night?" Tang Xuan asked, still unwilling to give up.
Tang Xiao subconsciously touched her lips. "Xiao San, do you think it's okay for me to go back and submit a marriage application?" Tang Xiao asked softly.
"Of course! Did you get it?" Tang Xuan asked excitedly.
"Jiang Jiang hasn't agreed to date me yet, but I don't want to let go," Tang Xiao replied softly.
There was no chance before, but now that Jiang Jiang has given him one, Tang Xiao doesn't want to give up.
"Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma are fine," Tang Xuan reassured them.
"I'm not worried about that, I'm afraid Jiang Jiang's family won't agree." Tang Xiao was genuinely worried.
“Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang will treat you like royalty,” Tang Xuan couldn’t help but say.
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are lucky they didn't die from Jiang Jiang's anger all these years.
The relationship between the Jiang family and the Xia family is actually not good.
When Jiang Jiang boldly pursued Xia Wenjing, the Jiang family initially disagreed, but they couldn't resist Jiang Jiang's persistence.
Gradually, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang gave in.
But who could have known that Xia Wenjing was not happy about it?
Gradually, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang began to direct their resentment at the Xia family.
The old man from the Jiang family has long since stopped contacting us.
"How about I ask Jiang Jiang? I should go home first and gather up all the things under my name and give them to Jiang Jiang. How much dowry do you think we should give?" Tang Xiao asked repeatedly.
"Uncle, if you keep asking, you'll have already decided where the child will go to elementary school, won't you?" Tang Xuan looked at Tang Xiao helplessly, thinking that he might as well just marry into the family.
However, I dared not say this out loud, for fear of giving my uncle inspiration, and then he would be beaten to death by my grandparents if he said it again.
“Your grandparents, Uncle Jiang, and Aunt Jiang are all getting old and probably can’t help us take care of the child anymore. Jiang Jiang is also very busy with work. How about I change careers?” Tang Xiao was really considering it seriously.
"No, no, Jiang Jiang likes soldiers. If you leave the military, she probably won't want you anymore." Tang Xuan was terrified.
This guy is a deputy regimental commander. He was promoted to deputy regimental commander at the age of thirty. It's only been two years. He is our family's only hope.
If he were to actually be demobilized—well, this guy couldn't be demobilized anyway, who would agree to that? Even the military wouldn't agree.
Tang Xuan felt like he was being led astray.
“That’s right, Jiang Jiang likes soldiers.” Tang Xiao turned around and agreed.
Outside, Tao Ying teased Jiang Jiang, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and ears were red. "Are you planning to eat something nice?"
"Sister Tao~" Jiang Jiang looked at Tao Ying with a blush.
"Does your abs hurt your hand?" Tao Ying continued to tease.
"I'll introduce you to someone tomorrow," Jiang Jiang said, blushing.
"Come on, have you thought this through?" Tao Ying asked in a low voice.
"Sister Tao, everyone knows about my past pursuit of Xia Wenjing. Do you think Tang Xiao's parents will object?" Jiang Jiang couldn't just play around with it.
Jiang Jiang wants to get married, which is a bit unethical, but Tang Xiao says he doesn't mind.
“That’s Tang Xiao’s problem. If he can’t even solve this, how can he be worthy of someone as outstanding as you?” Tao Ying replied firmly.
At this moment, Jiang Jiang needs a firm voice to help her get through this.
"After seeing Tang Xiao, I think you were blind before. You must have been starving." Tao Ying continued chirping.
Jiang Jiang was speechless and couldn't refute it.
"I'll take you to visit the factory today, and I'll process your order first," Jiang Jiang said softly.
“I don’t have much money on me, I’ll have my son transfer the money to me.” When it came to business, Tao Ying composed herself.
"Take the goods over first. A month later, if you sell them, you can pay me the balance. If you can't sell them, send them back to me. As long as they don't get dirty or worn, I can still sell them." Jiang Jiang genuinely wanted to thank Tao Ying.
Without Tao Ying, Jiang Jiang would never have been able to get through this.
After a sudden realization yesterday, I found that the string that had been taut all along had loosened.
Thinking back to Xia Wenjing's appearance, she couldn't remember why she had fallen in love with him in the first place. Now, he had gray hair, a dark face, age spots in some places, and obvious wrinkles.
I really can't figure out why I've persisted for so long.
