Xu Nuannuan took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Ye's hand: "Take it and eat it."
Jiang Ye accepted it happily, thinking that the candy given by the little girl was the sweetest.
In the evening, just after the Jiang family had finished their meal, Mr. Zhang came to visit.
Because Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mei were old friends, Mei Xiangcao was very polite when she met Mr. Zhang.
"Uncle Zhang, what brings you here? Come and sit down. I'll make you some tea."
Jiang Ye, Jiang Yang and Jiang Ting called for help when they saw him.
This is a custom passed down from them, and it is also a sign of respect for guests that has never been lost.
When Mr. Zhang saw that Mei Xiangcao was very attentive to him and the three children were also respectful to him, he knew that he was very capable, and Mei Xiangcao did not dare to refuse him face.
She waved her hand: "Vanilla, you don't have to rush. I came here today to discuss something happy with you."
He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ye, who was lowering his head, and said to Jiang Ye: "Jiang Ye boy, you grew up under the care of Grandpa Zhang. Grandpa Zhang has always had high hopes for you. Although your family has not yet taken off the label of gangsters, Grandpa Zhang has never disliked your family and has always thought you are great.
It's not just me. Xiaoyan has always had a crush on you. To be honest, I originally wanted to arrange a marriage for them when they were in their teens to continue the friendship between our two families. But Xiaoyan was a little young at that time, so we put it aside. Who knew that Jiang Ye was unfortunately washed away by a flood. Everyone said he would not survive, but Xiaoyan still waited for him for four years. Some people tried to matchmake for her, but she rejected all the good guys.
She said she believed her brother Jiang Ye was not dead, and she would wait for Jiang Ye to come back. Perhaps the heavens were moved, and Jiang Ye actually came back alive. Let's arrange a marriage between the two of them, let the two lovers fall in love and marry each other, and our two families will be closer, which will also be considered a wish of your father and me.
Despite his age, his acting skills were so good that he probably moved himself with his sentimental words. He even took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Although his acting was very realistic, Mei Xiangcao knew that Zhang Xiaoyan was still unengaged.
I'm not waiting for Jiang Ye at all.
The Zhang family felt that Zhang Xiaoyan was pretty, and had already announced that they would only go on blind dates with men who had jobs in the county town; no one else would be considered.
She was a country girl who wanted to find a young man with a job in the city, but it was just as difficult as it was for her to find a job in the city. There was no suitable one, and she looked down on other young men in the village. She was neither too high nor too low, so she never got married.
When Mr. Zhang said this, it seemed as if Zhang Xiaoyan had deep feelings for Jiang Ye.
Not to mention whether her son has a girl he likes in his heart, she would not let a two-faced woman like Zhang Xiaoyan into the house, not to mention that Zhang Xiaoyan has a difficult family behind her.
"Uncle Zhang, it seems your trip was in vain. Our Aye already has a girl he likes and can't get engaged to Xiaoyan. I don't agree with what you just said, that Xiaoyan waited for Aye for four years, because I heard a long time ago that Xiaoyan was looking for a gay man in the city as a partner, and she didn't wait for our Aye any longer."
"What?" Mr. Zhang didn't expect that even after he came, Mei Xiangcao would still refuse, really not giving him any face. "Xiangcao, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Those people think that Xiangcao will never get married, so they say all sorts of nonsense. There is no truth to it.
As for what you said about Jiang Ye having a crush on someone, who is it? Tell me the name and see if she is worthy of Jiang Ye. If that girl is not as good as our Xiaoyan, then why do you still like her? "
Mei Xiangcao couldn't tell the girl's name, so she could only say, "Uncle Zhang, I've already said this much. Whether I tell you the girl's name or not, there's no chance for Aye and Xiaoyan to be together. You could help Xiaoyan find a young man in the city. Wouldn't that be better than marrying into our family?"
Mr. Zhang felt that Mei Xiangcao was making sarcastic remarks and mocking him. "Xiangcao, Xiaoyan really likes Jiang Ye. You can't take children's feelings lightly."
"I always respect my children, so I respect their decision. Uncle Zhang, you're also a white man, why are you forcing things? A forced melon won't be sweet. Besides, you know Ah Ye's personality. If he doesn't like something, he won't tie them together, even if he has to."
Mr. Zhang pressed Jiang Ye again: "Tell me, who do you like? Tell me."
Jiang Ye was not as concerned about the friendship between the two families as Mei Xiangcao was, nor did he give face to Old Master Zhang. He said four words with a cold face: "No comment!"
"You, you kid." Old Master Zhang was furious. "You said you had a partner, but you didn't tell me when I asked you. If you don't tell me, then you don't have a partner."
"Even if it's not right, I won't get engaged to Zhang Xiaoyan. I don't like her. She can get engaged to whoever she wants."
"You, you, you." Old Master Zhang stood up from his chair angrily, his face turning green.
Mei Xiangcao pretended to advise him, "Uncle Zhang, this kid has been honest since he was young. He doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve and only speaks the truth. You mustn't get angry with him."
If this old man gets angry enough, the Zhang family will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble, but there is no way they will let her son get engaged to Zhang Xiaoyan.
Old Master Zhang was determined not to give up until he got the Jiang family's treasure. He pointed at Jiang Ye and said, "Jiang Ye, you can't let Xiaoyan down. Xiaoyan has been waiting for you for four years. You must give her an explanation."
"You said she waited and she waited? Then tell me, in these four years when I was away from home, how much help did you give to our family? What did Zhang Xiaoyan do for our family?"
"No, nothing." Jiang Yang and Jiang Ting answered together.
Jiang Ye: "What you call waiting is just watching my family suffer and standing by coldly. She should find a partner herself. If she can't find one, she says she's waiting for me. She sounds better than singing. Should we believe and accept everything you say?"
"No, no, Jiang Ye, listen to what Grandpa Zhang said, Xiaoyan really only likes you."
"But I don't like her, that's enough, don't mention it again. I handle my own personal affairs, and if you say it again, even if my mom doesn't kick you out, I will kick you out."
