Shufan and Pan'er were stunned when they heard this.
Shufan was the first to react, and hurriedly asked, "Who said my aunt is going to marry into the Wang family?"
Little Fatty was taken aback. "That's what everyone in the village says!"
"They're talking nonsense! I'm going to ask my aunt!" Pan'er stamped her foot in frustration and ran home after saying that.
Shu Fan quickly ran back, turning back to Little Fatty and saying, "Little Fatty, come on over too!"
He had to bring someone back so that his aunt could hear the clarification in person; he couldn't let anyone ruin his aunt's reputation!
After a moment of surprise, Little Fatty understood. He was a shrewd guy, so he told the other kids around him, "Go and call Sixth Brother and my mom to Shufan's house. There's going to be some fun!"
The "Little Sixth Brother" he mentioned was Liu Yazi. Among all the young men in the village, Liu Yazi and Chen Shao were considered the leaders of the kids, and Little Fatty liked to play with them.
Little Fatty wasn't familiar with Wang Bo, but Jiang Qinyu was currently very popular in the village. Little Fatty knew that his grandfather often talked about Shu Fan's aunt at home, and he knew that anything related to her would definitely be interesting.
Since the village entrance was close to their home, Shufan and the others quickly ran back home.
Before they even entered the courtyard, they saw Madam Chen sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, with Jiang Qinyu standing in front of Madam Chen with her back to them.
“Yu’er, I’ve heard about what happened between you and Wang Bo,” Chen said.
Jiang Qinyu was completely confused. "Me and Wang Bo? What's going on?"
“Sigh, don’t be so quick to deny it,” Chen sighed. “A-Zheng is gone, and you’ll need to find someone to rely on. Among all the men in the village, only Wang Bo is about your age and unmarried. However, he has a troublesome mother. If possible, I wouldn’t want you to marry into his family, but you can’t just stay here year after year like this…”
Hearing this, Jiang Qinyu quickly interrupted her, "No, Mother, Wang Bo and I barely exchanged a few words. Have you misunderstood something?"
Mrs. Chen was taken aback. "Didn't Wang Bo stand outside your house for most of the night last night? I heard he had a huge fight with his mother when he got home, insisting that he would marry no one but you, and Granny Wang doesn't want you to come in..."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Qinyu raised her hand to stop her from continuing, "Mother, where did you hear these things? How come I don't know any of them?"
At this moment, Shufan and Pan'er came in from outside. The two little ones ran to Jiang Qinyu's side, and Shufan looked up and said, "Auntie, everyone in the village is saying that you are going to marry into the Wang family!"
"Auntie, are you not going to let us go?" Pan'er looked at her with teary eyes, her little mouth pursed, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.
Jiang Qinyu: "..." She only stayed home for one day, why are all these rumors starting to circulate?
And Wang Bo stood outside her yard for most of the night last night? What a joke! She clearly remembers not hearing any noise outside after she finished showering!
Seeing the old woman and the two young children looking at her expectantly, Jiang Qinyu took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness and solemnity, "Mother, I will not remarry! Shufan, Pan'er, your aunt will not remarry. Wherever I am, you will be there too."
As for Wang Bo and Liu Bo, what does it have to do with her!
I will never remarry. Please don't mention it, thank you.
She finally achieved her current perfect situation. Although she still has her parents-in-law, they have separated from the family. All she needs to do is to be filial to them from time to time.
Below are two more well-behaved, sensible, smart, and adorable children;
In addition, her husband died in the middle, so she doesn't have to worry about being pressured to get married. As long as she lives her life well, she can retire whenever she saves enough money.
She'd be crazy to keep making trouble for herself like that!
Moreover, it's a family like the Wang family. Wang Bo's shrewish voice makes him seem cunning and scheming, yet he thinks he's hiding it well. Just thinking about it makes me want to give up.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen burst into tears, holding Jiang Qinyu's hand and nodding repeatedly, "Of course, I don't want you to remarry casually, but... we can't hold you back!"
"Mother, please don't do this. This is my own decision." Jiang Qinyu patted her shoulder, a look of deep sorrow on her face.
Shufan and Pan'er rubbed their eyes and held onto her sleeve tightly.
That's great! Auntie means she'll take them with her no matter what!
At that moment, outside Jiang Qinyu's courtyard, Xiao Pang and his friends, as well as the daughter-in-law of the village chief of Liuyazi who had rushed over, all heard Jiang Qinyu's words.
"See, see, I told you that Ah Zheng's wife wouldn't remarry. Besides, Wang Bo is far inferior to Lu Yanzheng in appearance. If it were me, I wouldn't remarry either."
"That's more like it. I thought it was impossible before too, I don't know who said that..."
Behind the crowd, Granny Wang and Wang Bo watched this scene with grim expressions, both of them keeping their lips tightly pressed together and remaining silent.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Qinyu turned around and looked over, her eyes meeting Wang Bo's through the crowd.
She frowned, thought for a moment, then stepped out of the courtyard and said to everyone, "I don't know who you all heard it from, but I've been married into the Lu family for so many years, and everyone knows what kind of person I am."
“Back then, Brother Zheng saved my older brother. I married into the Lu family to repay my brother’s kindness. But in the six years I’ve been with the Lu family, I’ve come to regard my parents-in-law as my own parents. No matter what, I will never remarry!”
"Please let all the aunties, grandmas, and sisters-in-law know that you must not introduce me to any potential partners in the future. I have no such intention, and I do not wish to betray the great kindness that Brother Zheng did for my Jiang family back then!"
While she claimed to be repaying a debt of gratitude to her brother, Jiang Qinyu's memories actually contained the original owner's impression of developing a new liking for Lu Yanzheng after seeing him once from afar.
Back then, Lu Yanzheng rescued Jiang's eldest brother, who was out alone and had been robbed. Jiang's eldest brother had no way to repay him, so he said that he had a younger sister, and if both his sister and Lu Yanzheng were willing, then the two families could become related by marriage.
That's why Lu Yanzheng came to visit. The original owner glanced at him from afar through the curtain and nodded, which led to this marriage.
However, Jiang Qinyu didn't have much of an impression of Lu Yanzheng in the original owner's memories, and she almost didn't even feel that little bit of goodwill she had.
“Yu’er…” Upon hearing Jiang Qinyu’s words, Madam Chen broke down in tears, “Why are you doing this? It’s my Zheng’s good fortune to marry you, but unfortunately he’s not destined to enjoy it!”
Since Jiang Qinyu had said such a thing, she naturally had to go all out with her act. At this moment, with red eyes and a choked voice, she held onto Chen's shoulder, cried out "Mother," and then didn't say another word.
The onlookers were all wiping away tears, lamenting Jiang Qinyu's misfortune and Lu Yanzheng's bad luck. No one mentioned Wang Bo anymore.
Granny Wang spat on the ground, "Pah! What a jinx! Who would want to marry him? Xiao Bo, go back inside!"
Wang Bo hung his head, looking dejected, but at this moment his face was filled with a sinister look.
Unwilling to remarry? Ha, just you wait!
