Chapter 180 The Reborn Heroine's Excellent Grandma 19
Hu Jiaojiao stood weakly in the crowd, waiting for these people to speak for her.
She waited for a long time, but no one spoke up for her. She secretly hated these people for their lack of sympathy, but she didn't dare show it.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the crowd with tears in her eyes and found that the women who had been so enthusiastic just now were looking at her with strange eyes.
Hu Jiaojiao was anxious and looked at them pitifully.
Several women avoided her gaze, secretly said it was bad luck, and then found excuses to leave.
In the end, Hu Jiaojiao was pulled into the Lai family yard by Wu and the enthusiastic Yuan.
Hu Jiaojiao entered the yard like a lamb to be slaughtered, holding her small bag tightly.
The Lai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at the beautiful and charming Hu Jiaojiao and nodded with satisfaction.
Hu Jiaojiao was horrified by their looks and secretly made up her mind that she must find a chance to leave here.
She has money on her, so even if she's alone outside, there shouldn't be any big problems as long as she's careful, right?
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Hu Jiaojiao quietly took her small bag and left Lai's house.
——
Time flies, and more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qingshui Village, Hu family.
The Hu family sat in a circle around the table.
Su Li sat at the top and took a sip of the digestive tea beside him.
In recent years, Hu Yaoyao's cooking skills have gotten better and better!
The spicy rabbit head and boiled fish tonight were so delicious that she couldn’t help but eat a little more, and now her stomach is still a little full.
"Mom, what do you say?"
Zhao looked at Su Li expectantly. Her daughter was already thirteen years old this year, and it was time to look for a marriage for her.
The family that came to propose marriage the day before yesterday is quite well-off. They own a shop in the county town and a courtyard.
The young man himself was also very outstanding. He became a tongsheng at the age of fifteen.
She had secretly inquired about it and found out that the young man had no bad habits and was handsome and elegant, making him a perfect match for the couple!
Su Li took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "Not very good!"
Zhao Shi didn't expect her mother-in-law to be dissatisfied. She asked in surprise, "Why? He has such good conditions and is about the same age as our Yao girl. What a great young man!"
Zhao didn't want to miss such a good marriage, so she secretly glanced at Hu Jinquan.
Hu Jinquan felt the threat from his wife's eyes, cleared his throat and said indifferently: "Mom, I think this young man is not bad, you can consider him."
Su Li glanced at his second son and asked, "Have you ever known what his situation is?"
This adopted son is good in every way except that he is too soft-hearted in front of his wife.
Hu Jinquan asked doubtfully, "Mom, did you hear something? Is there something wrong with this young man's family?"
If there were any problems, that would be great, he wouldn't have to worry about it!
"Yao girl is still young, don't be so anxious."
Zhao said, "Mother, Yaoyao is already thirteen years old. If you don't tell her now, all the good ones will be picked up!"
Su Li glanced up at Zhao nonchalantly and said calmly, "Miss Yao is excellent in every way, and there's also the uncle, Lao Si, who passed the imperial examination. How could a student like him dazzle you?"
Su Li paused here, looked at the expressions of his sons and daughters-in-law, and then said: "The fourth son will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon. If he passes the examination next year, won't Yao girl be able to find someone better than this one?"
Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this. Yes, how could she have forgotten about this?
Apart from her husband, her brother-in-law is the most powerful man in the world. He is a juren at such a young age. Wouldn’t it be easy for him to pass the jinshi examination when the time comes?
When Hu Jinquan saw his wife's expression, he felt relieved. He knew that his wife had finally changed her mind!
His wife is good in every way except that she listens too much to her mother.
When the mother-in-law learned that the young man's family came to propose marriage, she thought everything about him was good and urged his wife to agree quickly!
If he didn't know that his mother-in-law really loved her daughter, he would have suspected that she was accepting bribes from the young man's family!
But what if the mother-in-law is so powerful?
It was his mother who made him change his mind with just a few words!
Hu Jinquan thought about it and secretly glanced at Chen, with pride in his eyes.
Su Li looked at Hu Jinquan for just a few words, and his face twitched as if cramping. He was so embarrassed that he turned his eyes away silently.
When the other people in the family heard that Hu Jinyan would take the imperial examination the following year, they couldn't help but straighten their bodies a little.
They all had great confidence in the fourth brother. Since he had passed the imperial examination and won the first place, he would definitely have no problem passing the imperial examination.
The little pudding sitting in Chen's arms stretched out its chubby little hands and kept fluttering towards Su Li.
"Grandma, hold me!"
Chen held his clothes tightly with both hands, fearing that her son would fall to the ground if she was not careful.
"Kang Kang, be good and don't move!" Chen coaxed softly.
"No, I want milk, hold me."
Hu Jinhao watched his son jumping in his daughter-in-law's arms with a smile on his face.
He felt that his life was complete. His leg was healed, his fourth brother passed the imperial examination, and now he even had a child!
"Kang Kang, come here, let daddy hold you!"
Hu Jinhao stretched out his big hands and looked at his son lovingly.
Little Hu Kang was just about to try harder to reach his grandmother, but was blocked by a pair of hands. He was so angry that he slapped them with his fat paws.
"Go, milk, hold!"
Hu Jinhao didn't care whether he was angry or not, he just grabbed him into his arms with his big hands.
"You kid dare to despise your father? I'll spank you!" As he said that, he gently patted his son's butt twice.
Little Hu Kang pouted and looked at Su Li with tears in his eyes, looking as if he had been beaten and wronged.
Su Li felt a little distressed when he saw this. Just as he reached out to hug him, the little guy in Jiang's arms became unhappy.
Little Hu Xia frowned and said in a childish voice: "Grandma won't hug you. You're so fat. If I have to hug you, I'll hug you!"
Hu Kang didn't understand anything else. He only heard the little brother say that his grandmother didn't hold him, and then he pouted and started crying.
Chen hurried forward and coaxed her softly.
Jiang pinched her youngest son's cheek in annoyance and said, "Look, you made your brother cry again. Let your father spank you later."
Hu Xia was also a two-year-old child. When he heard that he was going to be beaten, he wanted to cry as soon as he opened his mouth.
Hu Jinran was quick to cover his mouth.
This kid cries even more than a girl. He cries endlessly and it’s so annoying!
Hu Jinran covered her son's mouth and whispered in his ear.
Su Li looked at the way this family got along with each other and couldn't help but smile.
Although there are some minor frictions from time to time, they are all harmless.
Over the past three years, the Hu family has been thriving.
After Hu Jiaojiao left the house, she secretly cured Hu Jinhao's leg and also took care of Chen's health.
Now, the couple is content with their son!
