Chapter 31 Worry-The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Because Aunt Gu and Aunt Jiang were not around, and Aunt Su did not dare to provoke this petite and frail woman, Lin Qing lived a quiet life again.
Lin Qing had a particularly leisurely afternoon. No one came to disturb her, so she had a peaceful nap. After getting up, she started reading her treasured comic book collection.
It's too much free time, so I can only find some entertainment for myself.
She just graduated from high school this year. If there had been no factories hiring before, she would not have married so early. She thought that if there were factories hiring, she would be able to find a job and not be so idle all day.
She really has a lot of free time every day. Cen Xi doesn't let her do too much housework at home, for fear of tiring her out. He only lets her do some light work. Besides, there isn't much housework to do in the house. After all, there are only two people in the family. How much work can there be?
"Jiang Yang, you're back. You went to propose marriage today. Have you set a wedding date?"
Lin Qing was flipping through his comic books in the house when he suddenly heard Aunt Su's voice coming from outside.
When Lin Qing heard Jiang Yang's name, she suddenly remembered that this man was going to be her niece's husband. Soon, Lin Shu would move in. Suddenly, she had a headache just thinking about it.
All of a sudden, she became a peer of Aunt Jiang, and the two families became relatives indirectly, which really made people feel a little uncomfortable!
And with Lin Shu's personality, after moving in, oh! It gives me a headache just thinking about it, how could it be such a coincidence?
However, considering Aunt Jiang's shameless character, Lin Qing decided to be more ruthless in the future, and Lin Shu should try to have less contact with her. After all, Aunt Jiang was definitely a bitch, and there was absolutely no benefit in getting close to her.
Alas, I don’t know how my parents are doing?
But are they going to propose marriage today?
But isn't Jiang's mother still in the hospital? Did Jiang Yang propose marriage himself?
"Let's go get the certificate the day after tomorrow." Jiang Yang was very angry at the Lin family, but because he didn't want to be laughed at by the people in the yard, he didn't behave abnormally at this time.
"The day after tomorrow? That's pretty quick! Are you going to have a party?"
"Yes, just two tables."
"Of course we have to do it. It's a shame for the bride to marry into your family. After all, you already have two children! If we don't hold a wedding banquet, wouldn't it seem like we are neglecting the bride? I remember that you also held a wedding banquet when you married Liu Datao. If we don't hold a wedding banquet now, you'll be laughed at!" When Aunt Su asked the question just now, she had already made plans. If the Jiang family didn't hold a wedding banquet this time, she would go and tell her new daughter-in-law about it, and then the new daughter-in-law would be in trouble.
Aunt Su spoke as softly as ever, but the sarcasm in her words was very strong.
Jiang Yang curled his lips, "Of course I won't give up!"
Lin Qing: Tsk tsk, why does it seem like Aunt Su just can't stand seeing others do well? She always wants to rush over and make some instigative remarks?
She thought about it and realized that if the Jiang family really didn't hold a wedding banquet when they married Lin Shu, Lin Shu would definitely be very angry after hearing Aunt Su's provocation, and the Jiang family would probably make a fuss.
Oh! What if Lin Shu has a conflict with the Jiang family in the future? Will they come to her to seek justice? But don't do that!
She doesn't want to be a mediator!
It must be difficult for Lin Shu to marry into the family, with such a mother-in-law and two step-sons. If one of them does not do well, she will probably be scolded.
She thought of Lin Shu's two stepchildren again. Could it be that whenever her family eats meat in the future, Aunt Jiang will ask Lin Shu to bring the two children over?
No, she has to think carefully about how to prevent this!
Lin Qing was holding the comic book in her hand, thinking about random things in her mind. She didn't even think about going out and letting Jiang Yang recognize her identity. She wished she could delay this time a little longer!
The conversation outside is still going on.
"Your mother is still in the hospital. What are you going to do with the banquet?"
"We'll set up two tables in the yard, and you can come and join us for the wedding banquet!"
"Oh, sure, no problem." Aunt Su thought that since the Jiang family was having a wedding banquet, at least the dishes on the table had to be decent. She would not miss such an opportunity to have a good meal.
Aunt Su originally wanted to ask a few more questions about the betrothal gift, but Jiang Yang didn't want to talk to her anymore and quickly ended the topic.
"Auntie Su, I have to go to the hospital to hand over my shift to my sister-in-law later, so I won't talk to you for now!"
"Okay, okay!" Aunt Su knew that this was just an excuse for him not wanting to continue talking, but she couldn't say anything.
Aunt Jiang woke up early in the morning and suddenly remembered that today was the day her son went to propose marriage. When she thought about how badly she was injured and how she missed the proposal, she wondered whether her son had bargained for the betrothal gift according to her wishes.
If only she wasn't injured, she would definitely have to talk to the Lin family about it.
"Old man, do you think the second son's marriage proposal went smoothly today? I wonder if the Lin family asked for an exorbitant price?"
Mrs. Jiang was also a little worried. This was the second time that the second son was getting married, and she didn't know how much it would cost this time. If the gift was too high, wouldn't their family be at a loss?
No, my uncle will be here later and I must ask him about it.
"Mom, I don't know that either! I'll have to wait until my uncle comes to know."
"You..." Aunt Jiang looked at her with disdain and was about to scold her, but she didn't know what she thought of and shut up again, "Forget it, what's the point of telling you?
It's almost time, the second brother should be here soon, after you hand over the shift to him, you should quickly go and bring Da Hu and Er Hu back."
"good!"
The two spoke loudly, and even Aunt Gu, who was sitting across the hospital bed, could hear what they said.
Aunt Gu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Hey! You didn't spend a lot of money yesterday, so you want to make up for it on your daughter-in-law's dowry?"
"Bah! When did I ever say that?" Aunt Jiang retorted as soon as she heard what Aunt Gu said.
The young man in the middle bed was discharged from the hospital early this morning. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would get accidentally injured one day, so he might as well go home and recuperate!
So this time, when the two of them started arguing again, there was finally nothing in the way that could block their view.
"I don't know you yet. You are a person who is very stingy with money and never willing to spend it. You spent tens of thousands yesterday, and you must be heartbroken. Today your son is going to propose marriage again, and the betrothal gift must be quite a lot. Hahaha, are you heartbroken?"
"Bah! What does it have to do with you whether I feel heartbroken or not? This is our family affair, why do you care so much?"
"I am just concerned about your family, right? We are neighbors after all!"
"Get lost! Your family is fine, you don't need to worry about it."
"How much did you spend on marrying a wife? When your new wife comes home, I will have to have a good chat with her, hahaha!" Aunt Gu did not hide her evil intentions and said it directly and frankly.
Mother Jiang was very angry. This put her in a dilemma. She didn't want to spend more money, but she was also afraid that the new daughter-in-law would find out that her other expenses were not more than the previous daughter-in-law. Wouldn't this cause another conflict?
