Given Ke Xin's fate, marriage does not seem to be such an important thing.
She didn't need to wait for Ke Xin to come back and ask her opinion. She made a decision immediately. "Madam Liu, your love and friendship are appreciated by our family. It's not that Liu Feiyang is a bad child. It's true that our Jiang family doesn't have that many girls who can die. The most important thing is that our Jiang family has only had this one girl in three generations. She is very precious to us. So... Madam Liu, please forgive me, I will not agree to this marriage."
This time, Ge Shuzhen refused without any hesitation.
The main reason was that she did not reject the Gao family's proposal in person last time, which allowed the other party to almost take advantage of the opportunity. When she came back, Ke Xin talked about it, and she blamed herself for it.
Han Ruyue naturally understood what she meant. It was okay to refuse for the sake of her child's safety, but she would not give up.
"To be honest with you, Madam Jiang, I was already prepared to be rejected when I came here. I was mainly worried that something might happen to the children. But Kexin and Feiyang have exchanged no less than ten sentences and have had more than one meal together, yet Kexin is still safe and sound. This is enough to prove that these two children are made for each other."
Ge Shuzhen turned her head slightly. Even if there was a pair of them, so what? In the face of these things, life was not as important as it!
"Actually, if I hadn't told you about my son's tragic deeds and had a matchmaker come to my house earlier, there would have been a 50% chance of success. But I hid my son's affairs like that, and my conscience couldn't bear it, so I came rashly to visit. However, Madam Jiang's refusal shows your concern for Kexin. How about this... let's not talk about marriage for now and let the children get along naturally."
"If the two of you get along well, and the children like each other, how about we officially arrange the marriage when things are ready?"
After hearing what she said, Ge Shuzhen thought about it carefully and felt that her daughter was at a disadvantage. If this were to get out, her daughter's reputation would be even worse.
"This... a single man and a single woman together is bad for the reputation of both children."
Han Ruyue sighed inwardly, wondering if her child was really going to live out his life alone?
Seeing Madam Liu's gloomy expression, not as cheerful as before, how could she, as a mother, not understand this kind of heartache? She sighed softly and comforted Han Ruyue: "Madam Liu, there is no need to worry."
"My family's Ke Xin and Fei Yang have business dealings, so they must get along better than others. If the two children are attracted to each other, then we don't have to worry about it. The two children should take the initiative, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Han Ruyue suddenly realized something and slapped her thigh, "Yes, that's right. Madam Jiang is really smart."
She could definitely find some time for the two children to be alone. See, being anxious is unwise. Thinking of this, Han Ruyue stopped lingering and smiled again: "That's it for now. I'm sorry to bother you today. You go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first and come visit again tomorrow."
Seeing so many things on the Eight Immortals Table, Ge Shuzhen immediately stopped the person who was about to leave: "Madam Liu, please take these things away. We farmers don't need them."
Since the marriage didn't go through, leaving someone else's things was no big deal. Ge Shuzhen was just being more tactful in her words.
Han Ruyue knew what she meant, so she smiled and held her hand, saying, "Madam Jiang, you can't take something back after giving it to me. If the marriage doesn't work out, can't we just be friends?"
"I'm bound to bother you more in the future, as long as you don't mind me."
Ge Shuzhen laughed awkwardly: "Why should I dislike it? We are so happy to have a lady from a wealthy family like you come to visit us. But this thing is really valuable. I really can't keep it."
Han Ruyue shook her head. "If Madam Jiang really doesn't like it, then just throw it away. There's absolutely no reason to take back a gift we give. Anyway, if Madam Jiang refuses something because she doesn't like me, how can I ever flatter her in the future?"
"...I really don't dislike you. I...I'll accept it."
Ge Shuzhen couldn't argue with this lady from a wealthy family, so she accepted the gift reluctantly, thinking that she would get some rare things for her later, which could be considered as a reciprocity of courtesy.
Han Ruyue smiled and patted her hands. After they talked for a few words, she took Nanny Qiao away.
In the quiet courtyard, after she left, everyone in the Jiang family came back. When they heard that it was Liu Feiyang's mother who came to propose marriage to Kexin, everyone in the Jiang family was very happy. However, when they heard about Liu Feiyang's deeds, they all sighed. They didn't expect that there was someone with a tougher life than Kexin.
Jiang Yongtian groaned, "That kid from the Liu family... is also a pitiful child."
"It's fine for my little sister to talk and eat with Liu Feiyang. I think it will be fine even if they get married. Besides, as for the rule that Liu family boys can't talk to girls, if our Ke Xin marries him, there will definitely be no concubines to disgust her. There's nothing wrong with thinking about it this way."
After Jiang Wu finished expressing his views, he thought about it and felt more and more that what he thought was right, and nodded in affirmation.
The whole family looked at him unkindly. If Jiang Wu said another word, his father Jiang Yongfa would hit him with a broom. Unfortunately, the boy didn't say anything else, but just shook his head.
At that time, Jiang Shan came back driving a bullock cart. He didn't know he was the one who came home. He ran back excitedly with two baskets of eggs and said, "Dad, my little sister wants to buy a cow. I want you and grandpa to go to the town to look at it."
When Jiang Yongtian heard about buying a cow, he excitedly stood up from the small stool: "Really? Jiuer is going to buy a cow?"
Jiang Shan put the eggs in the kitchen and smiled at his father, "It's true. They said they were going to buy two, and then the three of us would take turns farming. Jiu'er is waiting in town. I'll take you there after I unload the things."
