Mulberry nodded: "I remember."
"I was robbed that time, but thanks to Jiang Wanying's father and brother, I was saved. Otherwise, I might not have made it back." Xie Dong's expression was quite calm when talking about his life and death.
"Jiang Wanying is the only girl in their family, and she is in poor health, so her family wanted her to marry into the city so that she could receive proper medical treatment and would no longer have to stay in the countryside. That's why they thought of me."
"Taking advantage of someone's kindness?" Sangshen frowned. "You agreed?"
Xie Dong nodded: "I agree."
Seeing the displeasure on Sangshen's face, he smiled faintly and said, "No one threatened me. I made my own choice."
"First, the Jiang family saved my life; second, their family background is good, making them a good choice for me; and third, I don't dislike Jiang Wanying." He listed his reasons in detail.
But Sangshen's expression remained displeased: "So you just sold yourself?"
"It's not really a sale, it sounds like I'm the one who got a good deal." Xie Dong said, both amused and exasperated.
"Can those be the same?"
"It's no different. I'll get married eventually, and Jiang Wanying is a good choice for me." Xie Dong didn't seem too upset about it.
He was different from Sangshen and Shenci. From a young age, he was caught between his grandmother and mother, witnessing the open and covert struggles and mutual accusations between the two women.
He had no desire to get married. To him, it didn't matter who he married. Marrying Jiang Wanying would not only change his social class, but also give him a wife, which was a good choice.
Another reason is that he has seen his father in a dilemma since he was a child, so there is nothing wrong with marrying a wife with a gentle personality. At least with Jiang Wanying's personality, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is easy to resolve.
Sang Shen and the others were unaware of Xie Dong's thoughts, but since things had come to this point and the marriage certificate had been obtained, they had no room for regret.
"Where will Comrade Xiao Jiang stay tonight?" Grandpa Sang asked.
“He’s staying at a guesthouse, with his family with him,” Xie Dong replied.
"Where are you having your banquet tomorrow?" Aunt Fang asked.
"Let's just stay home. I'll figure out the ingredients. Three or four tables should be enough. I don't have many friends in Gu County, so I'll just treat my colleagues from the transport team to a meal," Xie Dong said.
He actually has quite a few friends in Gu County, but they are all people he met in the black market, so it's not easy to make them public.
"Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow," Aunt Fang agreed.
"Thank you," Xie Dong said with a smile.
Aunt Fang waved her hand.
Having learned the whole story of Xie Dong's wedding and satisfied their curiosity, everyone stopped pressing the issue and instead started discussing the scale of tomorrow's banquet.
