The Lin family naturally noticed Jiang's mother's attitude, and Lin's mother was very worried about Lin Ying these past two days.
Lin's mother felt that the two families were too different in status, and with such a mother-in-law, how would Lin Ying, with her personality, get along in the future?
The other relatives were quite happy for Lin Ying, never expecting that she would have such good fortune to marry into such a family.
They've really seen the world on this trip.
Lin's mother hugged Lin Ying all night last night, and tears kept falling like they were free.
Lin Ying explained the situation of the Jiang family to her mother in detail, and also repeated Jiang Juecheng's words verbatim. Lin's mother felt a little more at ease, since the person in charge of the Jiang family now was Old Master Jiang, and in the future, it would be Jiang Juecheng. In that sense, Lin Ying would also be the future matriarch. As long as Jiang Juecheng was on Lin Ying's side, Lin's mother felt that Lin Ying would not be mistreated.
Today, Lin Ying is wearing the wool coat and dress that Xu Xinning bought with her at the Friendship Store.
Lin Ying is tall and looks especially good in a long wool coat, like a movie star.
Her roommates were delighted to see her and gathered around her, chattering excitedly.
Lin's mother stepped back and stood with Xu Xinning.
Lin's mother had heard everything about Xu Xinning from Lin Ying, and she truly admired the young girl.
Lin's mother: "Teacher Xu, we'll have to ask you to give our daughter Xiaoying some pointers from now on."
Xu Xinning: "Aunt Lin, please call me Ningning. Lin Ying is my best friend. Our relatives are not in Kyoto, but we will take care of and help each other."
Lin's mother: "Our Xiaoying doesn't understand social etiquette very well, so I'm worried that she won't be able to handle family relationships well."
Xu Xinning: "You can rest assured about that. Grandpa Jiang and Brother Juecheng are both principled people. They have already told Lin Ying about family issues. Some people can get along, and if they can't, it won't be Lin Ying's loss."
Lin's mother: "Alas, every family has its own troubles. Some things can't be explained in just a few words."
Xu Xinning: "Mrs. Lin, Lin Ying is not someone to be trifled with. There are some things she has to handle herself. You have to trust her; she will handle them well."
Lin's mother: "Even if you raise a child for a hundred years, you'll still worry for ninety-nine. How can you not worry about your own child?"
Lin Ying's roommates seemed particularly excited.
"Oh my god, I never thought I'd be in a place like this in my lifetime."
"Yes, yes! The soldiers at the gate are holding guns! They're so impressive."
"Hey! Do you think their guns are real?"
"How could it not be real? What kind of place is this? This is no joke."
“I’ll have something to brag about for the rest of my life. When I’m old and toothless, I can sit and chat with my grandchildren and tell them, ‘Your grandma used to live in the Kyoto Military Region compound. There were a lot of amazing people living there.’”
"Haha, I'll say it then too."
"Lin Ying, will you be living at school or here from now on?"
Lin Ying: "When I was in school, I lived at school and came back during my breaks."
"Will Jiang Juecheng let you live on campus?"
"Why won't you let me live on campus? We already agreed on that."
I really envy you two, lovers finally getting married!
No one noticed that Li Youxuan was not in the room.
Li Youxuan was a shrewd person. She started observing as soon as she entered the room. Jiang's mother had the air of a mistress of the house, and she was dressed very elegantly today, so Li Youxuan knew who she was at a glance.
While her classmates were chatting, Li Youxuan secretly went downstairs.
Li Youxuan was a seasoned veteran; she could tell Jiang's mother's personality at a glance.
She felt in her heart that Lin Ying's future life would not be easy with such a mother-in-law, but that did not stop her from taking advantage of Jiang's mother.
Li Youxuan poured herself a glass of water, then deliberately twisted her body near Jiang's mother, who naturally caught her.
This was, after all, the Jiang family home, and Jiang's mother asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Li Youxuan pretended to be in a little pain and said to Jiang's mother, "Could you please help me to sit over there for a while?"
Jiang's mother: "Should we see a doctor?"
Li Youxuan: "It's alright, Auntie. We can't spoil your joy on such a happy day."
Jiang's mother: "Do you know me?"
Li Youxuan: "Your temperament and appearance are outstanding. I was immediately drawn to you when I walked in. Coupled with your aura as the mistress of the house, it's not hard to guess your identity."
Feeling comforted by her words, Jiang's mother smiled and said, "You have a good eye."
Li Youxuan: "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."
Jiang's mother: "Whose child are you? Logically speaking, someone as beautiful as you should have a good memory of you."
Li Youxuan: "Auntie, am I a student at Kyoto Medical University?"
Upon hearing that Li Youxuan was Lin Ying's classmate, Jiang's mother suddenly lost interest in chatting.
Li Youxuan was very good at reading people's expressions and immediately said, "Lin Ying is really lucky to have such a noble mother-in-law as you. Although she is not very good now, I believe that she will gradually get closer to you after being influenced by you, Auntie."
Jiang's mother scoffed inwardly, "A pheasant is a pheasant; how could it possibly become a phoenix?"
Li Youxuan continued, "I envy people as noble as Auntie the most; she was born with a life of wealth and honor."
Jiang's mother finally felt a sense of belonging, and pulled Li Youxuan aside with a smile, saying, "You have such a sweet tongue. Come over and chat with your aunt more often. Your aunt likes you very much."
Li Youxuan: "It's my blessing that my aunt likes me. I'm really happy today because I got to know such a wonderful elder."
Jiang's mother: "I'm so jealous of your mother. How did she raise such a wonderful daughter?"
Li Youxuan and Jiang's mother hit it off and got together, seemingly having endless things to talk about.
During later visits, Jiang's mother always brought Li Youxuan along. Those who didn't know them might have thought they were mother and daughter, while those who did knew looked closely at Li Youxuan and wondered who this girl really was.
Jiang Juecheng's sister had actually come downstairs early in the morning. Jiang Juecheng had told her that today was a special day and hoped that she would help greet the guests.
When Jiang Juecheng's younger sister saw Jiang's mother chatting and laughing intimately with Li Youxuan, she lowered her eyes in self-consciousness. She could never satisfy her mother. Her mother seemed to have never spoken to her so affectionately and gently before.
Jiang Juecheng's sister sat in the corner, watching the bustling crowd in the living room.
She seemed completely deaf to the noisy chatter.
Everyone envied her for being Old Jiang's granddaughter, but she was not happy at all. She always felt like she was suffocating. She wanted to escape this family and go anywhere.
That's what she thought, but she didn't have the courage to do it.
She was about to graduate from high school, and she even thought about secretly signing up to go to the countryside, but she heard from people in her neighborhood that going to the countryside was very hard, and that she might be snatched away as someone's wife.
She was scared, so she could only stay at home and hide.
