Chapter 252 Jiang Han's marriage is in turmoil
After scolding her husband into being obedient, Mrs. Xu turned to look at her son-in-law with an extremely gentle and loving face.
"You don't need to interfere in this matter. I've already made an appointment with Bao to go out and talk in two days. Even if it's just for the sake of you two, the Guo family won't dare to fail to give our Jiang family an explanation, don't worry!"
"So what's going on?"
Jiang Wan looked at his sister who was still playing and fighting with his brother on the other side, and his voice also lowered a lot along with his mother's.
"Mom, tell me in detail."
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Mr. Guo's eldest sister brought her daughter to the capital. She said that the husband of the family died, and the orphan and the widow couldn't make a living in the countryside. To be honest, it does sound pitiful."
Xu sighed.
"The last time I went to seek the explanation from Mrs. Bao, I learned that Mr. Guo's elder sister had done him a great favor.
She sold herself for four and a half ounces of silver to bring her sick brother back from the brink of death. Later, her brother became Mr. Guo, but Mrs. Guo did not live a good life.
I heard that due to the unrest in the world a few years ago, all her children died, leaving her with only this daughter. And she became a widow three months ago, so she had no choice but to bring her daughter to live with her brothers from her natal family.
Very good, there is no need to ask any more questions about what happens next, Jiang Wan can guess most of it by himself.
"So, the Guo family wants to strengthen the relationship. This way, Mr. Guo can repay his gratitude and take care of his sister and niece with more legitimate reasons. Is that right?"
Not hearing any rebuttal from her parents or grandparents, she slammed the table with a sneer.
"Let them dream big!"
The sound of slamming the table brought the three Jiang siblings, who were playing and fighting for gifts, back to their eldest sister.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You just got home. Who made you angry?"
Jiang Han looked around at everyone present with an unhappy face, his eyes lingering longest on his careless brother-in-law, and his meaning was very obvious.
Li Laosi sat with his brother-in-law, smiling with a gloating look on his face.
"This isn't my fault. You're done, second brother. I think you're going to be in trouble!"
The Jiang family's second daughter's heart skipped a beat at her brother-in-law's suggestion. She timidly turned her eyes away to meet her sister's commanding gaze, then immediately gave a fawning smile.
"Sister~~~~"
The sweetness is extremely high and it makes people want to survive.
"Jiang Han, what do you think about Guo Ziqian's cousin?"
Jiang Han slowly retracted his smile, and the delicate features on his little face wrinkled together, looking pitiful and endearing.
"I, he said he didn't mean that. He told me not to worry, he would never let me down!"
"I didn't ask him, I asked you!"
The elder sister's voice turned cold, and immediately the second daughter of the Jiang family regained the fear that was suppressed by the blood of her elder sister.
“…I, I…”
"Just tell me."
“…I want to trust him and give it a try.”
Tears welled up in Jiang Han's beautiful big eyes, which looked like two balls of black mercury kept in white mercury, making people feel pity and love at the sight of them.
"Sister, Guo Ziqian is really good to me. The relationship between him and me is just like the relationship between you and your brother-in-law, it's all sincere. He asked me to trust him and said he would handle it. Sister, I want to trust him for a while, is that okay?"
The last sentence was asked pitifully, and it hit her sister's softest spot.
This child had been a worry-free child since she was little. She had always been well-behaved and kind in her past and present lives. If there wasn't really no other way, Jiang Wan really didn't want to reject her rare act of willfulness.
"I understand. Luckily, your wedding is still two months away. Let's give him some time and see what the Guo family can say to our family."
“Thank you, sister!”
Jiang Han burst into laughter and Jiang Wan waved at her.
"You guys go over there and play."
"oh."
The three heartless siblings continued to go back and look for the gifts, and the old lady sucked her teeth in worry.
"Look, look, look, what didn't the girl know when she was this old?
That guy wishes he could just get caught in the hair and fly away!
Look at how silly the second girl is. Even I, an old woman, feel worried for her.
What will happen if I get married like this? If I’m not careful, I’ll be eaten alive by my in-laws.”
"Look at you, old woman, what are you talking about?
If they can understand, we will listen. If they don’t understand, we will keep silent and let the children find the solution themselves.
Aren't these people, who are well-educated and have seen the world, better than us old guys who can't even read a word?"
The old man hurriedly tried to make amends for the old lady, and then he saw his eldest granddaughter, who was used to being a bad person, glanced at him again.
"Grandpa, that's enough. We are grandparents after all. Do you have to be so wary of me?"
He turned his head to look at the old lady again and wanted to sigh.
"Grandma, are you sure you were praising me just now?"
Old Wang gave a dry laugh and finally shut up. Jiang Huailiang looked at the lively and bustling scene of the family and didn't think it was particularly unruly. After all, his family had only been ashore for a few years, so it was normal for them to have no rules.
"Okay, your mother will take care of this matter, so there's no need for you to worry about it. You haven't gotten married yet anyway, so if things really don't work out, I'll just give up on this in-law. What's the big deal?"
"Dad, has anyone outside known about the incident involving the Guo family?"
"No?"
"Of course there is!"
Jiang Wan turned to look at his mother.
"When I was in the palace just now, my mother specifically reminded me of it. She didn't mention the second son, but mentioned the third and fourth sons.
I didn't react at the time and thought my mother was reminding me that my father wanted to arrange marriages for the third and fourth sons again! So I quickly told her about the last time you wrote to me.
It turns out that after all this time, he's not only touching the two little ones down there, but the second one is also making waves inside!"
"The Queen also knows?"
Xu blinked in surprise, then frowned and spoke in an unhappy tone.
"I have absolutely not leaked anything. If any information has leaked out, it must have come from the Guo family! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to use the fear of public opinion to force the Jiang family to accept that concubine?"
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"I don't know yet. Didn't you say you'd meet Mrs. Guo again in a few days? Then you might as well ask her openly.
If this marriage can be accomplished, then it will be accomplished. If it is really too difficult for the Guo family, then our Jiang family also understands.
After all, they are blood relatives, and it would be inappropriate for our second daughter to interfere and prevent them from loving each other, right? "
"You naughty girl, mother knows. Just focus on taking good care of your baby and don't worry about this."
Mrs. Xu smiled and stared at her daughter's belly, saying with great loving concern.
"Are you exhausted from all this traveling? Why don't we stop talking for now? Mommy will accompany you to Qiuya Garden to rest for a while, okay?"
