…
Jiang Wanying was worried that Li Wei would be unable to sleep at night due to her restless thoughts, so she stayed at Li's house to sleep with her, but she had to get up at three in the morning to get ready.
She is not only Jiang Huaichuan's younger sister, but also Li Wei's older sister, so she is the only choice for the bridesmaid.
There were no other attractive girls in Li Wei's village, so she was the only one who could be the bridesmaid.
After a quick wash, she changed into a new dress, which was a light pink one, not as bright as Li Wei's wedding dress. After all, she was just a foil and could not steal the limelight from the bride.
But Jiang Wanying didn't know who the best man was.
She asked Jiang Huaichuan, but he refused to tell her and said that he knew it on the day of their wedding, making it very mysterious.
Old Master Li hadn't slept the whole night. He was happy but reluctant to see his granddaughter get married. Hearing some noise in the yard, he quickly put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on.
"Yingying, it's you! Why are you up so early? Are you hungry? Grandpa will cook you a bowl of noodles." He hunched over with his opium pipe hanging around his waist.
Jiang Wanying shook her head. "Grandpa Li, don't bother me. I just had a steamed bun and an egg to fill my stomach. But why are you up? Did I bother you?"
"No! I woke up early."
Old Master Li didn't tell her the truth. He glanced at Li Wei's room, thought for a moment, then walked over to Jiang Wanying and asked in a low voice, "Did Weiwei try on her wedding dress yesterday? Did it fit? Did something happen?"
The old ginger is still the spicier one.
Having raised his granddaughter single-handedly, he knows every little clue about her.
According to Li Wei's personality, if she tried on the wedding dress, she would happily run to him to show it to him. However, he waited until after twelve o'clock last night and did not see her step out of the room.
Instead, Jiang Wanying was busy in and out, and no one knew what she was doing.
Jiang Wanying's breath hitched, and her brain quickly reacted, "Nothing happened. I tried on the wedding dress, and it fits me perfectly. Weiwei might not have performed well in the exam, so I'm a little worried."
After hearing this, Grandpa Li did not doubt its truth. After all, his granddaughter did study very hard, and he saw it. If she did not perform well in the exam, it was understandable that her mood was affected.
"I thought it was no big deal. Failing an exam isn't a big deal. As long as she works hard, it's fine. Please persuade her for me. I'm not against her studying, but I hope she doesn't take it too seriously. I hope she can live a peaceful and happy life in the future."
Although Mr. Li has very traditional and old-fashioned ideas, and believes that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, and that it is useless for a girl to read too much, as she will have to get married sooner or later, he still has to pay for Li Wei's schooling.
At first, he was unwilling to let her marry because he thought she was not young anymore. He hoped that she could still choose someone while she was young. It would be another matter whether she could marry an old maid or not, but she would be chosen by others.
Jiang Wanying could understand the old man's painstaking efforts. In fact, all elders were like this. They said they hoped their sons would become successful and their daughters would become outstanding, but in fact, nothing was more important than their children's health, safety and happiness.
The reason why she didn't tell the old man the truth was that she was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it. If she failed on the wedding day, she would become a sinner.
"Hey, I know. I'll tell her. Don't worry."
Old Master Li took two red wedding eggs from the kitchen and stuffed them into Jiang Wanying's hands. "Thank you for your hard work today. Please help Weiwei. In the future...after she gets married, I hope you will consider your close relationship with her and take good care of her. She...she is such a poor child..."
Jiang Wanying held the heavy eggs in her hands and looked at Old Man Li, tears welling in his eyes, trying hard to suppress his sadness. She was also touched. "Grandpa Li, don't worry. Weiwei is marrying my third brother. With me, I will never let her suffer any grievances!"
