With Wang Fangfang joining them, the atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively.
Wang Fangfang went from being shy at the beginning to being poised and confident, which made her very pleasing to the eye.
"Fangfang, we need to leave Jinling Prefecture and hurry back to Taohua County, otherwise our travel permit will expire and it will be difficult to travel."
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the table was cleared away, and everyone made an excuse to go back to their rooms to pack their luggage. Jiang Yue also took Fangfang to her room and explained the situation.
"So fast?"
Wang Fangfang was clearly surprised, and swallowed her words as soon as they left her mouth.
Jiang Yue gestured for the little girl to sit down and then continued:
"Auntie can probably guess who wants to harm us, but this is a family matter for your Uncle Ge, so just let him handle it himself."
"Hmm~ Auntie, Uncle Ge is a good man, he will definitely give you an explanation."
Hearing this, Wang Fangfang felt relieved. In her heart, Uncle Ge was the most capable and the best person besides her mother and Aunt Jiang.
Jiang Yue smiled but remained silent. Given the entanglement of interests, she was not dead. At most, Ge's advice would only be a minor punishment as a warning. How could it lead to the other party's death?
However, she is a businesswoman, and as long as the interests are right, cooperation is fine.
As for any close friendship, impossible!
"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about you. Are you planning to settle down in Jinling with your sisters?"
Jiang Yue is not old-fashioned and does not believe that in-laws must be from equally matched or wealthy families.
Qingsong has been thinking about this for a year now, and it hasn't stopped.
As a mother, she doted on her son and also liked the girl, so she thought she might as well try to gauge the girl's feelings.
"Hmm~"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Fangfang nodded and continued:
"Now my second sister and I work as embroiderers in the embroidery workshop arranged by our uncle. Although our monthly salary isn't high, it's enough to support our family. My two younger sisters are still young, and since our mother is gone, I, as the eldest sister, am like a mother to them. I want to raise them..."
At this point, she lowered her eyes in shame.
She could see the pity and love in Qingsong's eyes, but she only had the three sisters left in her family. What would happen to her sisters if she got married?
Where can I find a family willing to accept a daughter-in-law who also brings her two younger sisters with her when she gets married?
Previously, Ge Shibo intended to marry her off to Qingzhou, hoping to take care of the sisters legitimately, but she refused.
The reason is that she only felt brotherly affection for Qingzhou, not romantic love.
But Qingsong is a different kind of being.
That's why she didn't want to be a burden to Qingsong.
He should marry into a family of equal social standing, one that could be beneficial to him, rather than...
"An elder sister is like a mother; it is only natural."
Jiang Yue praised her, showing no resentment or displeasure at Fangfang's remarks.
Is she short of money?
Is Qingsong short of money?
We don't need it.
Are Aoyama and his wife petty and calculating people?
No, that's not it.
Her family doesn't have a gold mine, nor a throne to inherit, so why does she have to marry a daughter-in-law of equal social standing?
There's absolutely no need for that.
Marry a virtuous wife.
A good daughter-in-law can bring prosperity to three generations!
Perhaps because Fangfang had no power or influence and no support from her family, she was not considered a good daughter-in-law by many people.
But in her eyes, as long as the other person is kind-hearted, has a clean family background, is liked by her son, and is pleasing to the eye, she is a good candidate for daughter-in-law!
"Auntie~"
Although Wang Fangfang was mentally prepared, she was still clearly saddened when she heard Aunt Jiang's approving tone.
Her aunt agreed with her idea, and at the same time, she no longer had any feelings for her, right?
The next second, her icy hands were held in her aunt's palms, and when she looked up, she met gentle eyes...
"Fangfang, there's no one else here. Let me tell you something from my heart."
"Qingsong, although this child was petty and greedy, that's all in the past. Now, he's refusing to look at other girls for the sake of one."
He saved all the money he earned each month, saying he wanted to marry the girl he loved and not let her live a hard life with him.
He also said that unless the girl got married and had a family, he could wait indefinitely to reunite with her...
"Fangfang, I have three sons, so I don't need this for my old age. If the girl he likes doesn't want to live in Wujia Village and wants to buy a house elsewhere, I have no objection."
"My aunt has been widowed for many years and doesn't want to remarry. She only hopes that her children will grow up healthy, get married, and have many grandchildren who can visit her occasionally."
Bang bang bang~
Wang Fangfang felt her heart racing and her ears ringing.
Is the girl Aunt Jiang was talking about her?
The next second—
"Fangfang, what do you think of my Qingsong?"
It really is her!
It's her!
Waaaaah~
Wang Fangfang's eyes welled up with tears, and she was too excited to speak, only able to sob.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue found a handkerchief and handed it to Fangfang, offering silent comfort.
Let the other person vent their grievances in disbelief...
After a moment, Fangfang calmed down and smiled through her tears:
"Thank you, Auntie. I think Qingsong is a very good person!"
"If I were that girl, I would hope that Qingsong's family would go through the proper formalities of marriage, ask a matchmaker to propose, and then the marriage could be formally arranged after the girl's mourning period."
"Okay, whatever you say~"
Jiang Yue felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders; the rest was up to her!
......
Wu Erzhu's wife, Zhuang, bought a lot of dry food and water. After returning to the carriage, the group continued their journey as they had come.
However, this is quite different from the constant anxiety and fear of failing to close a deal in the past.
Now, everyone was clearly much more relaxed. Having learned from their previous experience, they no longer needed to take a long detour on the way back, avoiding many dangerous areas, and the journey was much smoother.
Qingsong already knew everything his mother had done for him, and he was both moved and looking forward to a happy life together in the future.
Fangfang is safe in Jinling Prefecture. She has a godparent who will take care of her and she will not be bullied.
Before their travel permits expired, the mother and son, along with the village elders, returned to the village. After settling everything, he took all his savings, and his mother, along with his grandfather and other elders, accompanied him on another trip to Jinling Prefecture to propose marriage!
He had made up his mind. He would buy a house in Jinling Prefecture, preferably close to where Fangfang and her sisters currently lived, so it would be convenient for him to take care of Fangfang and her sisters-in-law in the future...
He had already figured out his business plan: to open the Wu Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant in Nanjing!
After much thought, I'm worried I won't have enough savings.
If all else fails, he can go to his older brother and sister-in-law and plead poverty; they won't abandon him.
Why didn't I think of my mother?
Because his mother would definitely give it to him directly; she works hard to earn money, and she wants to save it for her retirement.
He's a man, he's young, he can work hard and earn money!
Jiang Yue was resting with her eyes closed in the carriage, completely unaware of what her son was thinking.
Even if they found out, they'd just scoff and then kick him a few times to vent their anger.
You little brat, don't underestimate her!
